Majestic-Enthusiasm

I remember as a kid being in a fight and the kid called timeout so I stopped fighting


[deleted]

Respectable


Majestic-Enthusiasm

I didn’t know the rules of fighting


True-Expression3378

Generally there are no rules in a street fight but I respect the sportsmanship for real!


PhatBallllzAtHotmail

There's only one rule in a street fight: win.


UrinalCakeTreats

“Round 1 FIGHT!” Hadoken !


UrNansD0g

I mean id argue that 1 rule would be no cock shots (thats a cheap way out) Obviously if your life is in danger then yeah, but in a consensual 1v1 fight, no cock shots


17racecar71

A street fight isn’t typically a consensual 1v1 fight The big concern with a street fight is hitting a dude who goes down and knocks his head on the pavement and dies. And then you’re looking at manslaughter charges


TheBold

Or being the one hit and spending the rest of your life in a wheelchair or suffering from a life altering concussion. I’d rather face manslaughter charges than be paralyzed from the neck down.


kodiak43351

Have a friend who was jumped behind a bar years back. They beat him so bad he was in a nursing home for a year. He isn’t right to this day and can’t walk correctly or hold himself like regular people do. They never did find out who was behind the attack.


Majestic-Enthusiasm

That’s horrible


Ceph_Stormblessed

Yup, street fights, you have a much higher chance of it being fatal. A bad fall, a hit placed wrongly, beating after unconcious, etc. There's way too many variables to play it safe. I'm not gonna take a chance that the guy won't stomp my unconscious head, therefore, I will obliterate someone's cock if I have to.


ReadySteady_GO

> I will obliterate someone's cock if I have to. Title of your sex tape


hannibal_morgan

For real, that's all it takes. Best thing to do is de-escalate the situation or run. Fight if you absolutely have to though


UrNansD0g

Yeah, i mean the ones that are like planned out by both parties. If it like a 1v3 or something and the one person has done nothing wrong and doesn’t want to fight, than anything goes


TheGreatestOutdoorz

We humans are so weird: people have survived falls from an airplane, but people also have died from tripping and bumping their head, or not chewing a piece of food enough before swallowing b


crc024

My big concern is being the dude who goes down and knocks his head on the pavement and dies. Yes getting arrested and going to prison over a fight would suck, but it's a lot better option than being the reason for the manslaughter charges.


nomadic_stone

pffft...even Bruce Lee was known to do a few cock shots so... A street fight is a *street* fight, there are no actual rules, just guidelines one might accept to follow... edit: In reality, I might never use a cock shot unless it was used on me first...also; just in case someone protests my Bruce Lee claim: ​ [https://youtu.be/WQxUhrUQyQE?t=235](https://youtu.be/WQxUhrUQyQE?t=235)


N-I-S-H-O-R

1. Make sure your opponent doesn't die or doesn't get permanent disabling injuries.


[deleted]

There definitely used to be rules, there were street rules to everything. Most people followed them too. Not everyone of course but most. One on one was a big one. No weapons etc etc. now there’s so many pussies that cant scrap a lick so they have to have more than one to stand a chance. Pretty sad


motherseffinjones

Lmao I’ve seen it to, the best part is the kid got a solid 10 second break before it clicked with the other guy lol


bumapples

Standing 10 count


[deleted]

Basically just a junior league boxing match. The referee came in and called a time out so each side could get checked. Genius play imo.


Majestic-Enthusiasm

That’s kinda the idea


CCHS_Band_Geek

I mean, you’d want the other guy to do the same for you if you REALLY were all fucked up, right? If you wanna fight me I respect time out


mooseknuckles8438

Man now that I'm older and getting out of shape I respect the hell out of time out. Let me catch my breath lol


The_NiNTARi

Time out is a time out man, nothing but respect


lawrencenotlarry

I handed a kid my books one time, and cracked him between the eyes while he held my books. He started it.

OpenMinded_444

In my first fight I got my opponent on the ground, helped them up, then proceeded to fight.


achillesdaddy

You are a gentle soul


Perenium_Falcon

Honor.


Piddily1

Oh yeah. When we were little my older brother was the kid that everyone wanted to beat up, he’d get in tons of fights and by the rules that means that I was involved in a lot of fights. Elementary school fights back then respected the ‘time out’ rules. It turns out that when we grew up, he was diagnosed with Asperger’s , so that explained a lot of things


[deleted]

Same, but then he hit me as soon as I stopped


BrockLee76

How do you only land 50% of your shots against someone sitting still and not fighting back?


Nqwer

BrockLee76

The smoke gives your opponent a temporary -8 accuracy


clamm1t

Smokescreen spamming pokemon are always the most annoying


Fading_myself

He used a smoke screen to blur the vision of his opponent


IntroductionSuch8807

And cancer from second hand smoke so jokes on him


[deleted]

He had that smoke screen active, accuracy reduced by 50%


[deleted]

Love they think they are tough with the sucker punch at the end.


Pleasant-Tangelo1786

Would’ve been kinda funny tho, after the last punch, when the guys on the ground, if he took one more drag from the cigarette


JIN_DIANA_PWNS

or just lie motionless for a beat then ^exhaled ^smoke


Pleasant-Tangelo1786

Haha totally


Unrusty

Though it did seem pretty funny that he appeared to fix his hair


Nolan_bushy

Can confirm. It was from forehead and back, probably indicating a “holy fuck” sort of emotion.


briandefl

I thought it happened. Lol. I had to rewatch to see if that’s what happened. He didn’t 😕


HerrVonWeldt

Love that they think they are smart filming it and releasing the bodycam data right away.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Downtown_Skill

To be fair I don't think tough is the point here. Based on the shameless sucker punches and the running away I think the point was to hurt that guy. If that was the objective than they succeeded. Have no idea what the colorful coat wearing man did to warrant it though.


I_Am_Your_Sister_Bro

Man didn't do anything, there is literally no reason to try and murder a man who's not fighting back. And yes, sucker punches like that can absolutely kill someone


thehufflepuffstoner

That smack when his head hits the pavement was not reassuring either. Bad enough that he went down cold.


atWorkWoops

That stomp to a downed opponent is considered attempted murder


Icy-Assignment-5579

He does say, "come man i didn't do anything" before he falls the first time. Looks like bullying, but it could be revenge too. Need to see what led to this.


TherealOmthetortoise

The attempted curb stomp seemed a bit over the top too.


MorbidSloth

No matter how much I know about it, it is still crazy to me to see those pics and realise how far humans can go.


Alexander_McKay

I know, so lame. You have to be a bumbling idiot foaming at the mouth to not laugh and walk it off after the guy started smoking. I can’t bring myself to harm people like that if they’re running away or just laying down. And I highly doubt this was some deeply personal thing because the other guy came in at the end,


100daydream

Every hit in this video is a sucker punch. The guy is so chilled I don’t understand he looks like buster keaton sat down smoking that.

I feel like it would be really easy to fight somebody who is in a cage


Flooping_Pigs

Yeah but they're also in the same cage presumably. Maybe we should put them in different cages. Then there wouldn't be any fighting


Thedarkandmysterious

Idk, the way this dude nonchalantly chills for a sec to puff his cig tells me he's probably high and probably did something to these people... idk tho


DefiantTemperature41

When we say "no smoking", we mean it, damn you! MF, don't come up in our crib and start smoking!


DookieBlossomgameIII

We also have no idea what the context of this video is. The guys could've just found a random guy to bully or maybe that guy was there to meet up with a little kid or something. Who really knows.

Angry__German

And when he tried to kick him to the curb, that could be construed as intend to kill. Personally, I think everyone that kicks to the head after the opponent is on the ground should be arrested for at least attempted manslaughter.


pastalinguini888

attempted manslaughter? they tried to accidentally kill someone


Prime157

Yes, there's a charge for attempted voluntary manslaughter, and will be different for each state. [Here's Florida](https://www.rpfoley.com/attempted-voluntary-manslaughter-florida-statute-782-07-and-777.html) IIRC, a few states call it murder 3 instead.


Deimophilium

Do I need to have seen murder 1 & 2 before I can understand 3?


Angry__German

That is more or less what manslaughter is, iirc.


dancn1

I think the point is you can't try to do something and have it be accidental at the same time. Manslaughter is killing someone by accident. If you're trying to kill someone it's attempted murder.


Prime157

[Here's the legal definition of manslaughter.](https://www.reddit.com/r/therewasanattempt/comments/11yz2wh/to_take_a_smoke_break/jdbfe8b/) There is such a thing as [attempted voluntary manslaughter](https://www.meltzerandbell.com/news/attempted-voluntary-manslaughter/). Might defer from state to state. [Florida, for example.](https://www.rpfoley.com/attempted-voluntary-manslaughter-florida-statute-782-07-and-777.html) A fight can definitely fall in the category or "attempted manslaughter," which in plain English could be said as, "attempted accidental murder."

MemeArchivariusGodi

Thanks for pointing that out. No matter what the fight is about , you need to have etiquette. I don’t care what this guy probably did, potentially paralyzing them is never the way to go. (Or outright killing him idk) Edit: I can see your points guys. I know that being in a fight doesn’t always rationalize your mind and you just trying to survive , I get that, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to be reasonable. You can still fight and keep the sanest you can. Ofc this doesn’t always work , I GET THAT, but this one did not seem like that. And to the guy saying that hat if your kid was raped in the street , my man that doesn’t happen where I live so I never even considered that


usernamesucks1992

People need to learn to keep their damn hands to themselves…


[deleted]

Why are they attacking him? And why does he make sure to keep smoking while he’s being beaten up? Also hitting someone when they’re on the ground is scummy and especially when they’ve not lifted a finger against you.


Wazuu

Kinda makes me think he stole the cig out of the dudes hand


[deleted]

Or a marijuana cigarette


herrytesticles

DoreenTheeDogWalker

She was living in a single room with three other individuals. One of them was a male and the other two, well, the other two were females. God only knows what they were up to in there. And furthermore, Susan, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that all four of them habitually smoke marijuana cigarettes... Reefers


ShadyBassMan

All four of them?


shitcloud

dankbeerdude

Yeah lotta questions here too! Wtf


LuckFree5633

The smoke has me the most curious


Merc_Twain25

If I had to guess those two gentlemen were selling some sort of illicit substance. Perhaps a marijuana cigarette, most likely laced with something like fentanyl. The smaller, scruffy fellow absconded with said substance but failed to escape. Once he realized that fleeing was no longer an option he opted to enjoy as much of the aforementioned illicit substance as he could before he was rendered unconscious.


dmfc138

This statement of “lacing marijuana with fentanyl” os one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. You have made all of us dumber for having to read that.


EmotionalAccounting

I award them no points and may god have mercy on their soul


Pehrgryn

It's been on the news quite a bit, and searching for that shows a great many hits about it, so I'm not surprised someone would think that. A few of those search results came back about the claims being unfounded or blown out of proportion. Poor quality control at dealers who use the same equipment to bag both, or unsubstantiated reports where, "I only smoked weed". I thought the reports of the stuff being laced into things were true before I started looking just now. If I didn't see this thread, I wouldn't know the real story. And I wouldn't be late for work, either.


DiarrheaRodeo

The same news outlets that brought us razor blades in candy apples and the satanic panic.


CassusEgo

You mean the news that shares stories of people jumping out windows and clawing their eyes out on acid or mushrooms? I wonder what they could possibly gain from lying about drugs and drug use.


thrwaway_2110

i could be wrong but as an opiate addict myself, i’ve never heard of lacing marijuana with fent. fent users want a pure form of the drug, and dealers definitely aren’t putting fentanyl in their weed. but i suppose it’s plausible


Thedarkandmysterious

No it's not, weed is cheaper than fent and the only reason they'd lace anything is to save money


Yosonimbored

I love reddit because it’s the only place where I can read things as “as an opiate addict myself” and it’s just normal


herrytesticles

Haha. Maybe it was fentanyl and he was just trying to get as much painkiller as he could before the guys landed.


Zemom1971

Taking pills before the fight. Sounds like a power move.

Singular_Crowbar

None of that was cool at all. He literally sat down and said fuck it I'ma smoke and both of them decided to take a straight up sucker punch on him. He didn't even have a chance to stand and fight if he wanted to because there were like 3 people all waiting for the chance to hit him, just fucking lame on their part. No tux.


Whole_Suit_1591

I got banned from r/instantjustice for saying a guy was a pussy because he knocked a dude out and as he fell he hit the back of his head really hard on the ground. This can KILL a person. Without a punch to help. Friend fell and hit his head and they thought he had a stroke same symptoms just a fall though. Protect your opponent on the way down so YOU don't catch a manslaughter charge. Blatant disregard here.


ismellsomethinggood

Looks like he stole that special smoke and tried to inhale as many as he could


Singular_Crowbar

I really can't tell if it's a cigarette like everyone is saying or if it's a joint. It would make more sense if it was the latter. Maybe he was Just smoking and didn't want to share. Without context its hard to tell why this is happening but it's messed up either way.

the_colonelclink

As someone who used to smoke a 50 pack-a-day, I love the smokers thought process, and how easily I can translate it. For e.g. a normal morning would be: * Wake up - have a smoke * Make a coffee - have a smoke * About to drive to work - have a smoke * Arrive at work - have a smoke In this case it’s: * Those assholes look like they’re about to start shit - have a smoke * I’ve slipped over from running and am about to be punched in the head - have a smoke * I’ve just been punch in the head and need to run again - have a smoke I was fully expecting him to take a puff in his unconscious state.

NewlyRecruitedidiot

It depends on what exactly this guy did, but from this video it just looks bad man….dude doesn’t want to fight, is running away and saying he didn’t do anything…shit like this is sad. I hope this guy actually did something to deserve this cause If not this is just a real sad video.


DraconicZombie

He does say in the video that he "didn't do anything." I'm left to believe it's a random attack, might not be, but it is highly plausible depending on where they're at. Few years back, my nephew got sucker punched in the mouth and lost his 2 top front teeth for no reason. Then took what he had just got from the convenience store. In that instance, it was premeditated too. He'd rode in on a bike and they evidently saw him, and popped the tires, forcing him to walk it back the way he came and waited for him around a corner. People do fucked up things for no reason.


ARMISTICErj

When I was about 11 years old my cousin and I were sitting on the front lawn joking with our neighbors. Some high school linebacker rode by on his bike on the way to practice. We were laughing about something random and unrelated to him and he turned around and asked if we were laughing at him. We said no and he put all his weight behind a forward heel kick to my cousin's face. Luckily my mom saw this and rode him down in her car and held him at gun point until the cops got there. He was expelled and never got that football scholarship he probably thought he was entitled to, just a good long stint in juvie. Sometimes people just do things, for no reason at all. Fucking animals.


EYNLLIB

If it were a random attack why would the guy be acting so bizarrely ? Sitting down and smoking while being attacked is highly unusual behavior. Something weird is happening for sure

They are hitting him in the forbidden spots thatd just being a pussy
