Hiya, kids. Am I right—that you don’t need me to tell you how men should not hit women? Or that men should not hit 12 year old girls?
Not in the face, not by a full-grown, 6’ 5” BIG man, not using a punch that would knock down a horse?
Well that’s what seems to have maybe, allegedly happened.
As an ex-private eye and security type, I want to look at it all more closely. Check this out first:
“Very large man, David Bell, knocks out 12 yo girl outside an Asheville, NC mall”
“She got her Bell rung.
“He, idiotically, got involved in behavior that’s best left alone and viewed from afar, especially if you cannot control yourself and end up knocking out children with 250 pound death blows to the face. Now his life is altered. Online jail records show that Bell is 6 foot 5 inches tall and weighs 250 pounds. David Bell is a piano teacher in his hometown of Black Mountain, North Carolina.
“The girl declined medical treatment and was not taken to the hospital…”

Go and check out the video, above ^, but come back here for discussion. The link will open in a “new window/tab,” and when you’re done you can just close it and I’ll still be right here. Go check it out.
Okay. Here’s the sequence I saw and isolated in the video, without any special equipment:
Bell is walking around, seemingly acting as some sort of referee, in some sort of screaming, girl-argument or fight, when he is suddenly shoved from behind.
Did you see that the first time? Probably not. Check it again—it’s fast.
Bell is shoved from behind by—from the video—an apparently “black girl” in a dark, longsleeved top. But he seems to ignore it and keeps walking around. Maybe he picks up who did it, I don’t know.
The screaming girl-fight continues. It looks wild. There seem to be adults of several races present. I don’t know if race plays any part in it. We’re not told that and are likely not allowed or permitted to know. But there are girls and women of different races present.
Okay, and yes, the alleged, 12 year old appears to be a black girl.
Next, Bell unfortunately shoves the screaming, alleged, 12 year old girl, and she is vaulted backward a pretty good distance—several body-lengths. This is a powerful shove.
Maybe she’s the one who pushed Bell from behind earlier; I don’t know. Maybe she’s bold—fearless—encouraged by the Obama/Holder Axis to “not take any crap?” I don’t know.
But she then charges at Bell (bad mistake) and is screaming at him when he unfortunately unloads a punch that would knock down a horse.
The allegedly 12 year girl old folds over backwards like wet laundry and is on the ground out cold, crumpled up like a disconnected marionette.
Here are some stills I made from the video, using no special equipment:
First, Bell is shoved from behind. Did you catch that the first time? See the hand on his back? The dark sleeve? The apparently black face of the pusher almost out of frame?
Bell walks around for awhile but, in the next frame shown below, he inexplicably shoves the allegedly 12 year old girl. She vaults backward, gathers herself, and then charges at him, screaming at him.
Bell punches her and she drops like she was shot in the head.
Here: see the hand on his back? The arm in the dark sleeve? The black face? In the next frame depicted, he shoves her.

What I find interesting is that the screaming crowd seems to immediately clear out and disperse!
For the first time in video-recorded history a white male has dispersed a screaming bunch of juveniles and adults, some of who appear “black.”
WRONG STUFF TO HAVE DONE! YES!
BUT OKAY—WHAT THE HELL WAS HE SUPPOSED TO DO?
FIRST, Bell should NEVER have involved himself in this. He should have called 911, or left the area. As the author of the news article stated, “He, idiotically, got involved in behavior that’s best left alone and viewed from afar....”
Very good.
I mean —WHO, willingly involves themselves in an apparently mixed-racial, chick fight? For that matter, who in their right mind would involve themselves in any chick fight to begin with?
But wait—once involved, what should he have done?
The girl charges at him. We are taught to use equal force only. This is ostensibly used to just stop the threat. Okay, let’s say she charges at him. What can he do?
He can put a hand out to gently as possible stop her, but then he would maybe get jumped on by the mob and maybe arrested.
He can gently take hold of her and peaceably restrain her but then he would maybe get jumped on by the mob and maybe arrested.
Ergo, the only thing he could have done was stand still, let her charge, let her scream, let her jump on him, and maybe get jumped on by the mob and maybe arrested.
Now, however, once he has a few of the mob jumping and hanging off him, he’s “under attack” and can slew them off . He can use ONLY enough force to stop the attack. And maybe that means “cleaning house.”
But then maybe he gets jumped on by the mob and maybe arrested.
The moral instruction of the story?
As my sainted, South Philly father, Mr. Friedberg, used to say:
“You walk away from trouble, Jeffrey. You walk away.”
I think in this particular instance, of “Beauty And The Bell”—my old dad and his South Philly Ways, wuz right.
Teachable moment for the little black girl.
Noob.
Tep. Certainly has no concept of “urban living”.
If you google this story, the follow up is the man was arrested....and is facing some serious legal issues, the man should have walked away unless a knife or gun was shown by one of the kids....but he had not business punching a 12 year old girl....conversely, kids that confront an adult should expect they might respond with force, hopefully the girl wasn’t seriously injured and learned a powerful but painful lesson..BTW, the guy was in either security or law enforcement making it even worse...
>>Hiya, kids. Am I right—that you don’t need me to tell you how men should not hit women?
Technically, the prohibition is that gentlemen should not strike *ladies*. Feminists can not expect to destroy western civilization and then shelter under its protections.
Leaves out that the mob was doing it’s thing before Bell got there, and that they had surrounded his WIFE AND DAUGHTER.
So no, it is A. Cowardly, B. Stupid, and C. Dishonest to assert that Bell shouldn’t have been there.
He who passes by and meddles in a quarrel not his own
Is like one who takes a dog by the ears. Proverbs 26:17
Walk away, dial 911 and tell em what’s going on, but definitely leave the area and stay out of it. However, as always and depending on the circumstances/situation, be prepared to defend yourself and any loved ones that may happen to be with you by whatever means available to you.
Ferals. Avoid them at all costs. Stay away from known feral areas.
This reminds me of that girl statue facing the bull statue on Wall St. I believe the outcome would be the same.
Looks to me like a mob attacking a white guy. Someone in the mob had already demonstrated their chivalrous behaviour by attacking the man while his back was toward them. When one of the mob then encroached on his personal space he retaliated with a shove for his own safety. The shoved mobster then viscously charged at the single white man and he just defended himself instinctively. He was not the aggressor and used escalation of force appropriately.
My opinion after watching the video. If I were on the jury, he would walk.
The guy is there with his wife and kids and these “children” surround them and prevent them from leaving; then this one “child” comes in to attack him. He was defending his family from these “children”.
So LBJ was predicted in the Bible?
“The Knockout Game”? Not.
I see it differently, probably how I grew up but our society today just rolls over when things go bad. It’s never going to change if we are snowflakes, big man or no big man, I blame the girl.

Who’s this moron Jeffrey A. Friedberg, or his headline writer? It’s clearly not a death punch if the kid declined medical treatment.
Doubtful.
We live right outside Little Rock, AR, probably, per capita one of the most if not THE most dangerous cities in the United States. Only one demographic commit the serious, violent felonies. All the property crimes are due to methheads. Anyways, if you live here, you have to live by the motto: “More than three, time to flee”, when a certain, violent demographic starts to show up at events, stores, etc.....and we just elected a young Eric Holder as Mayor.....sigh.....upgraded to my 10mm with spare mags. PITA!
