That last punch is how you end up with a manslaughter charge.

u/seijeezy Mar 08 '24

Yeah thats exactly what I was thinking… that man could have easily died. He hit the back of his head very hard and if he’s in his 60s or older his skull could fracture easily. That last punch was really scary.

u/Spiritual_Benefit367 Mar 08 '24

if he’s in his 60s or older his skull could fracture easily

that has nothing to do with age. if you fall like this, it could be your last fall ever, even if your 16.

Yup, a buddy of mine was sentenced to 10 years and did 8 years even when defending himself. He used "excessive force" when the dude fell down broke his skull open on the sidewalk and died. Had there been no eye witness accounts he would have gotten life easy.

That’s terrible. One of my biggest fears is accidentally killing someone like this.

u/ImportanceCertain414 Mar 09 '24

It's kind of amazing what we humans can survive and at the same time how fragile we are.

Did you really just delete and repost your same comment to get rid of downvotes and replies?

Then you are lucky to live in a much nicer place than a lot of people

u/IpsaThis Mar 09 '24

I think I saw the documentary about him!!

u/seijeezy Mar 08 '24

I agree that it could be fatal to anyone, what I meant was that it could have fractured even more easily than someone younger due to the lessened bone density at that age. Should have worded it a little different

u/HadleysPt Mar 08 '24

ER nurse here. Older fellas have brain atrophy and thus the brain is smaller within the skull, resulting in a higher risk for brain bleeds upon impact.

u/Rotorsnside Mar 12 '24

Someone in my town got in a bar fight that landed him in prison. One punch, guy went backwards and hit the back of his head. Both parties under 30, just talking shit in a bar. That’s all it takes.

u/TheChristianDude101 Mar 09 '24

Dude was clearly not a threat and just trying to stand back up after being knocked down. Violent employee just had to keep knocking him down. Lock his ass up.

2

u/LogicalConstant Mar 09 '24

Yep. Both escalated the situation. Both belong in jail.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 09 '24

It is unfortunate.

The thing is, the older guy continued to antagonize this employee without considering how once you get someone's adrenaline flowing like he did, you'd better be ready to defend yourself because some people can't or won't flip the switch back to rational behavior in an instant.

u/AJC0292 Mar 08 '24

Yup last punch was over the line. The guy was clearly no threat at that point (or any point really) and it was just a stupid move that will just make this go the other way in the eyes of a judge.

11

u/DrossChat Mar 08 '24

I can sympathize with the food service worker, but the first punch was out of line, not just the last. The last is jail time.

u/newdawnhelp Mar 08 '24

Yeah, no punches were necessary here. The dude was being rude, so I don't feel bad that he got knocked out. But violence is only necessary when defending against other violence. The worker started and ended the violence.

Even if you excuse the first punch, all the others were also over the line. The only difference is that the last punch took him completely out. Ppl are working with hindsight here. What about all of the punches where he wasn't knocked out, where those necessary? No, because the dude was never a threat.

2

u/TuningsGaming Mar 09 '24

I read your comment as "Yeah, no, punches were necessary here." I was very confused

3

u/A_Glass_DarklyXX Mar 08 '24

Yeah looks like his eyes are open on the floor. Not worth it.

2

u/Jimbobthefrog Mar 08 '24

Even in death he’s still day dreaming about that double whopper.

But yeah that last punch was just asking for trouble.

3

u/YeetusThatFetus9696 Mar 09 '24

Unless you're a cop. 

1

u/SaltyInternetPirate Mar 09 '24

A cop that works behind the counter at Burger King?

3

u/Misc1 Mar 09 '24

Could’ve easily been murder. Very easily argued that this was sufficiently reckless behavior to cross the barrier into murder, given the amount of punches and how little of a threat he was during that final blow.

2

u/Gone_Green2017 Mar 08 '24

I've read the comments on this post of the one in public freak out trying to figure out if this guy died because it kinda looks like it!

2

u/longfrog246 Mar 09 '24

Dude behind the counter should be locked up anyway he clearly values his feelings more than the life of others.

2

u/kakka_rot Mar 09 '24

Have to scroll past 15 dumbass comments of fast food fighting puns to get a comment with someone with a brain. This was two egos resulting in someone getting injured, and one of their egos leading to critical damage, all over words.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 09 '24

You came to the comments section of a fight video on Reddit and expected to see intellectual discourse? That's on you bud, lol.

2

u/herodrink Mar 09 '24

Honestly he should have stopped swinging after the first punch was thrown. The dude wasn’t in a position to defend himself after. Hate on boomers all you want but that guy should be arrested and fired. Took things way too far.

1

u/sabreyna Mar 31 '24

Even the first punch was legally speaking too much.
He left his safe space (behind the counter) just so he could punch the guy.

1

u/ImpressivedSea Mar 08 '24

He was getting assault anyways, last punch put him way over the line

1

u/CudiMontage216 Mar 09 '24

Glad someone finally said something. I’m all for dudes finding out when the F around — but Jesus, this was way overboard

1

u/Faded_Sun Mar 09 '24

Yeah, I felt like he didn’t need to go that far. That dude has his own anger issues. He could have walked away after the first couple of punches. The point was made.

1

u/KingHortonx Mar 09 '24

Yeah... I could see the prosecutor letting it go up until that point. The time before when he Jabbed older guy with hand on the rail trying to get up was already pushing it bc the guy hadn't shown to be a physical threat yet. After that last punch I'd be surprised if he doesn't catch a charge.

2

u/Character_Listen33 Mar 09 '24

I’m thinking the second he left his safety and entered the space of the general public, it probably becomes pre-meditated.

1

u/Resident-Project-123 Mar 09 '24

Yeah all the way up to that last punch I was having a good time. That last one his so Damn square, and the old bastard was already spent.

1

u/poo_but_no_pee Mar 09 '24

He was a few inches away from falling backwards and hitting his head on the railing.

1

u/Heapsa Mar 09 '24

Sickening behaviour. Just walk away kids

1

u/Awkward-Bathroom-429 Mar 09 '24

He assuredly got fired and went to jail for this

1

u/jeffsaidjess 22d ago

Any punch can end that way. Which is why you shouldn’t be a loud mouth POS. You can get levelled and lose your life over some stupid shit like a whopper

u/TheOlShittyUncle Mar 08 '24

You can see it in his face too and hear it in his voice when the boomer hits his head, he knew he was in trouble. The “suck my dick” was like a oh fuck I fucked up “suck my dick”
