It's not often that I want to cheer for violence...

Reminds me of that video of a guy abusing a woman in public and a ninja lady (no really) coming up, pulling the woman aside, and kicking the man into submission.

I like that he hits the bully just once, then turns his attention to the blind kids and moves him out of harm's way. Nicely handled.

No matter what, violence is never the solution.

But you see, I've never believed that.

I root for violence all the time. This one was particularly satisfying.

Jesus, personally I'd have liked to see him get a little more.

The whole thing is so strange. I just don't quite believe someone would do that, or at least, I don't understand why. No one punches a disabled person for being disabled, that's like poorly-written-cartoon bad. Still, it looks like he was doing just that. :/ It'd be nice to have a better understanding of what one Earth is happening here.

That was a pretty good hit though. Man, that kid put him down with a single blow.

We don't know he was punching the kid because he's blind. The kid has other qualities besides blindness, and being disabled doesn't mean he's incapable of doing something to piss the other kid off.

That said, attacking someone is uncool, attacking someone at a severe physical disadvantage is even uncool-er, and that kid deserved to have his ass handed to him.

I dislike the fact that you had to add the disclaimer (the second paragraph) to your post. I mean, anyone who'd read the first paragraph and get the idea that you condoned the bully's behavior has to be an idiot of the highest order, and I really hope we don't have idiots like that around here.

The bully went down hard. Maybe just a concussion, hopefully nothing worse. I'd hate to see the good guy end up getting charged with something.

That video has more "f**ks" than The Wolf of Wall Street. But yeah, justice is sweet.

I'm amazed at all this support for vigilante justice. The kid should have just reported this to the appropriate authorities and let them handle it in their own good time.

Yes, if we justify use of force by parties other than the state, they will lose their claim to being the arbiter of justice! Society will crumble! The Horror!

looks staged to me. sorry if i'm raining on the parade here.

I think there's a good chance it was staged too. But I wouldn't care either way.

poor kid never saw it coming.

Meh. I don't see it as vigilante justice at all. It's not like someone said to Bob "hey, this dude was hitting Fred," then Bob went looking for the dude and beat the snot out of him.

This was a case of someone coming to the aid of another in danger. That's not vigilantism.

Batman agrees with you.

I don't think it looks staged. The video isn't from the best perspective, and the bully seemed pretty dazed and had a cut near his eye. And the dialogue is pretty repetitive.

you don't hear that guy hissing "action!" at the very beginning?

No, but on closer viewing, off in the far corner, it looks like there's a table of donuts and bagels.

Wow... Its not even one thing for this kind of thing to happen, but to a blind person? If that ever made it to court, I hope the judge brings down the hammer, both literally and figuratively...
