I wonder though, if it was a cop administering the beating, would it still be so funny?

No,, it would not be as funny,, but, it would still be justice! What do you think would have happened to this thug 50 years ago,, a 100 years ago or any other time in our history if he had tried the same thing on the corner market? He probably would have been shot dead, or a crowd would have beat him to a bloody pulp! The average guy watching this video knows in his gut the thug got justice! The average guy that watches this video enjoys it for the very fact we seldom see such deserving justice being handed out in such a deserving way so quickly! Whether or not this guy gets sued,, whether or not this 711 Warrior is an angel in real life or skunk himself,, for a few moments none of that matters,, because for a few moments we all got to watch as a stinking no good punk who wanted to rob, steal and destroy got just what he deserved! One of the very persons he wanted to terrorize did not cooperate! Somebody rose up! Somebody took a risk! Somebody showed a little courage and fought back! They did not follow the line to just lay down and allow the thug to step on their necks! And you know who rose up?? It was a man!! It wasn’t a woman! It wasn’t some old lady with an umbrella or some 12 year old little girl! It was a man! A man stood up and stepped out and taught some young punk kid a serious life lesson! And when the man did fight back,, it showed the punk thug for who he really was!! A stinking no good coward crybaby laying in a fetal position on the floor probably begging for mercy!! And you know what!!?? It was a glorious thing to watch!! I make no apologies for enjoying it!

You guys are all whooping it up at the skinny white guy getting the sh!t beat out of him.

YUP!

Ummm, I’m betting that there “hero” would sh!t his pants if a 6′2″ 200lb black dude from the Crips or Bloods was standing there.

Duh-um-yeah, so aside from stating the obvious, your point is. . .?

Why would you screw with someone who has a “sh*t” job? Man, he took out some serious frustration on that drunk punk.

Ummm, I think that’d rather be the righteous fury of a franchisee. Never mess with a franchisee from the other side of the world. I remember when I lived in Oakland in the ’80′s, when the Vietnamese, and Laotians who had come in as boat people, were finally moving up the ladder, and beginning to own 7-11′s with increasing frequency. Let me tell you, the local hoods thought twice before messing with these guys. They just were too culturally ignorant to know that they were supposed to be intimidated by some young blood with a blade. They would have to bring a gun or forget it.

Behave yourself!

Exit question: Staged or real?

Who would think that was staged?

I enjoyed how the feather duster was offered, briefly considered, then decisively rejected as an implement not conducive to the ass kicking process.

ROFL

All he had to do is push his hips against the kid’s tricept, throw his right leg over, slide down the poll, grab the wrist, lean back and push his hips forward. Good bye arm

Yes, YOU TOO can learn secret techniques of the ninja, HOT AIR STYLE!

Man, that store owner was like a swarthy ninja.

I just found the name for my new band! Thanks! I am laughing so hard, my dogs are all giving me that confused, tilted head look.

I would say in most cases there is a inverse relationship between the size/meanness of the robber and the courage of the store owner. Human nature. Or perhaps just common sense.

Pretty damn awesome!
