The video is just shy of 7 minutes and 30 seconds in length and contains some foul language, so be advised.
That how I see it, what do other FReepers think?
I think you need to tell us more before we’ll waste 7 seconds on a vid, much less 7 minutes.
They should have locked that guy up in the ebola screening room at DFW Airport for a couple of days.
Let me step in here. It’s an airport ticket gate counter, weener #1 appears to be videorecording weener #2. Weener #2 eventually attacks weener #1. Airport staff and cops tackle and cuff weener #2. The end.
Agreed and I'll limit it to just the facts as I see them. The video appears to be at an airline counter at the big D/FW airport. A rather dainty man in a pink shirt, evidently awaiting the ticket clerk, is at counter. He turns and starts taking a picture with a handheld device of another man standing in line behind him. That provokes a response since the pink-shirted man didn't ask for permission.
Words are exchanged before thing heat up and the pink-shirted man gets his ### kicked. Other observers nearby join in the melee. And it gets more interesting thereafter when the cops (TSA?) get involved.
That's a brief synopsis but the video, if nothing else, is entertaining.
Not my take. The guy that got hauled off should have been beat by the people that first took him down before the COPS arrived.
Also real good to see people instantly jump in to help instead of this stuff you hear where people just stand and watch someone get beat up.
Which one? The pink-shirted fellow or the guy in line behind him?
Well it is Texas, after all.
There are so many great things about Texas and as you rightly pointed out, the people here are decisive and take action rather than standing around like they do in lesser states.
Well, at least you put this in Chat.
There's a couple of real flaming "guys" in that video, eh? What's with the other pink-shirted dude and the goofy-looking socks?
I came this close to putting it in Breaking News with 3-inch headlines...in red...with lots of exclamation points! :)
HAH!!!
Not having been there, I can't say but there were a number of fellows wearing pink shirts. Was there some kind of convention for those types in town? It seems a bit too well orchestrated to me to have erupted spontaneously.
Yep. I think after all of the horrible news of late, obola, the school shooting, the LEOs getting murdered in California and the jihadist in Canada, some lighter fare was called for on a Friday night. :)
It’s been a long, terrible Friday.
That idiot didn’t have a Texas accent. Sounds more like LA or Ark.

the big guy sounded drunk...
Like I said, I wasn't there so don't know the context. A deacon that I know from church sent me the video with a subject line of "You gotta see this!" and that's all I know until I saw it.
But as I try to reverse-engineer the situation, it almost reminded me of the Westboro 'RATs who exist for the sole purpose of provocation. The big guy, who did seem ever so slightly drunk, was just minding his business, evidently bored while in line. The fairy-like fellow (almost looked like Truman Capote) turned around and started photographing him. Like the Westboro creeps, this seems like a planned provocation. The fact that so many other guys were also wearing pink shirts makes it looked choreographed. But all of that is 100% pure speculation on my part. And no, I haven't studied it frame-by-frame. It ain't exactly the Zapruder film! :)
