racist drunk man takes on two women and gets a beatdown

video: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm1RdENALZ0/

A clearly intoxicated White man entered an unnamed hotel and began acting irate. The man was screaming and using inappropriate language. Despite him acting out, the employees were not quick to call him on his behavior. Instead, they tried to talk to him. This led to the man acting more rudely. In addition, he shoved the woman. Disrespectfully, he went as far as pushing the woman from her chest, which led to the Black female security guard getting involved.

After he pushed the woman, the Black woman told him he was disrespecting her co-worker. This led to the man making racist remarks towards the Black woman. In addition, he told her to “bring it,” threatening to also put his hands on her. As a result, the woman, who describes herself as only 5’4,” took action. She defended herself and her co-worker, using a light to stop the man from any further abuse, sustaining injuries herself, in the process.

racist asshole but he persisted and she kicked his ass. I dropped her a few dollars via Venmo to acknowledge her protecting her smaller, 4 foot 10 fellow employee.

5. He was allowed multiple chances to stand down and leave, and refused each one.

He most certainly earned the consequences he suffered.

But damn, he was destroyed faster than papyrus in the rain.

Drunk as that guy was, he was pretty big and he could have done a lot of damage to a smaller woman. Security guards and other people who routinely encounter belligerent people would really benefit from some martial arts training. That guy probably could have been subdued pretty easily with something like a rear naked choke.

should be taught martial arts from youth. It would solve a lot of problems, particularly since instruction in martial arts includes self-awareness, and self-discipline, along with being steady in dangerous situations like this. A well-trained small woman can take down some pretty big guys, and the training continues a life-long tradition of health. Women too long have been taught to be weak and men take this for granted.

Those two women, particularly the security guard, did a great job with first attempting to de-escalate, then taking action!

I was scared of my older brother growing up because he threatened and hurt me, I got bullied in junior high.

I was skinny, small, weak.

I have thought many times if I had just had self defense I wouldn't have had so much fear in my life.
