The Cataclysm Classic Pre-Expansion Patch Arrives April 30
Season of Discovery Hotfixes - 23 April
Do you consider the Horde to be "the bad guys" or is it more complex?
MMO-Champion
So basically the guy was checking if a 50 dollar bill they gave him was real or not and the two women freaked out on him. They proceeded to spit and punch him, then hoped the counter. They chased him to the back and he grabbed a iron rod and hit them both with it repeatedly.
Not gonna lie, I lol'd when he put the smack down on them.
Reactions?
UPDATE: He was released on grounds of self-defense. Both Women were given 5 years of probation.

This is horrible that two customers just do something like that, while I agree he should be allowed to defend himself, towards the end he went a bit far as he continued hitting them both.

Wasn't him who was yelling stop, was the blond woman. Originally Posted by Eowenn

So I lied, I just watched it and they weren't yelling stop, it was other people. What it looked like to me is that he kept hitting them when they tried to stand back up. Originally Posted by Eowenn

No, that was the female in the background yelling stop. Although they did keep trying to get up. I don't think he went *SUPER* overboard, a few hits to many. I think he just wanted to make sure they didn't try to run? Maybe, maybe not. Originally Posted by Eowenn

It's pretty brutal. A lot of these types of videos make it to Gen OT, but this one is easily the most chaotic. The guy just totally loses control and beats them on the ground. Originally Posted by Bergtau

OT: This was the most disturbing "man hits woman" video I've seen on here yet. I believe in self defense, but this guy is looking at jail time imo.Last edited by Letmesleep; 2012-12-11 at 08:14 AM.

Pretty lame IMO. If it was a girl beating 2 dudes she would be a hero etc... Men's equality right guys?!? Originally Posted by Letmesleep

Continuing to beat someone once they're down is not self defense..

Didn't really look very disturbing to me. Maybe you didn't see the part where they kept trying to stand back up? I could be wrong, but even being able to attempt standing back up means the damage couldn't have been that bad. Originally Posted by Letmesleep

I don't think anyone "won" in this situation. Both parties were at fault here; the girls were out of line to start the fight and the guy totally lost it. He really needed to get the hell out of the restaurant and regain control himself. I think when you realize you've assaulted a customer, you know you're fired. I think his own actions and the woman screaming spurred more feelings of "it's all over, it doesn't matter what I do now". This situation was handled horribly. Originally Posted by Pandamists

No way this guy is going to jail. 2 people jump over the counter confident they can overpower this guy. Doesnt matter if they are Originally Posted by Letmesleep
male or female. They were confident that they can take this guy on. Apparently they were just abusing "can't hit a lady" mentality
but they could have been carrying knives or other possibly lethal weapons.
It was self defense. Even if it went a little overboard in the end the only way this guy goes to jail is that the Judge, or majority of the
jury or whoever decides about this is a female.

It's McRibb reason, tensions tend to run a little high.

I saw it, but I feel he should have just ran out of the restaurant and calm down. I think violence should be avoided if it can be. Clearly him hitting back was an understandable reaction to the start of the fight, but once he gained physical control, I think he should have got out. Originally Posted by Bergtau

This is the part I find more disturbibg than the actual violence (peoples reaction, not that you found it amusing). Originally Posted by Bergtau
