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.
If they were indeed surrounding his wife and daughter he should have extricated them and moved on.
If his concern was his wife and daughter, he should have let it go at that.
No good deed goes unpunished.
He walked away and the mob of feral animals continued to harass and attack him and his wife and child. They were intensely threatening, rushing him, pushing, and screaming. He was pushed emotionally and physically to extremis. His actions were completely justified. They stopped the attack.
12-16 yr olds are arrested charged and convicted of murder every year. They can inflict the same injury as an 18 yr old. If I think my life or my family’s life is in danger I will ‘Take Them Out”!!!! I will put my life in the hands of a jury....it is the only choice I have!!!
Agree
It’s a direct quote you azzhle :)
Wrong. It’s about race and “black privilege,” as inspired by the Obama/Holder Axis. And one man stood up.
Which is ridiculous in light of the size some teens can reach.
Not that that girl qualified in that regard, but a kid that arrogant to come back for more is clearly a threat.
The woman and child in the video are NOT with this man.
At this point, there’s no info that he was with anyone at the mall.
P.S. It seems everyone (of all different persuasions, all over the internet) is making the same assumption that the woman and child are with him. (I made the same assumption.)
More info:
The man’s lawyer speaks:
I support the guy who nailed her. She had no business charging anyone but then her culture does encourage this behavior. Just as it does to run after the fact.
Kids are not ‘children’ today..so I don’t know if race plays any part in it.y hat is off to the guy who nailed her when she charged at him as she did....she was ‘high on the violence’ that engulfs her culture.
Yep..he should walk.
Nah,...more than likely she learned this taking on her own mom and as likely there’s no dad in the home.
Bell saw ‘hood-rats harassing a woman’......when one charged him he flattened her. These punks are not “children” they’re punks, and they’d just as soon come at you charging with a knife.
UPDATE
From Mr. Bell’s lawyer:
Okay, he was with family at the mall, according to his lawyer, but he says he was escorting another woman outside (off-video?).
You are assuming facts not in evidence.
The question is why did this guy inject himself into this situation?
The behavior of these animals has been going on in cities since I was a kid (a long time ago.). You keep walking. There is no reason to engage them.
The link to the video wasn’t working for me yesterday, but today I found it. I have been in similar situations with screaming idiots all around. Not being there, it is difficult to know for sure how all this started and evolved into this melee. The video does not make it look that much like he was in fear for his safety... more like he was acting out in frustration.
The girl that was attacking him was old enough to know that she was in a group that gave her safety and was from a protected class, protected age, and protected sex. So she felt safe harassing and attacking a stranger. According to the guys attorney he has PTSD and a traumatic brain injury, in other words he has a screw loose. So if someone pushed his buttons he was likely to lash out.
I hope that kids learn from this video that if you play stupid games you sometimes win stupid prizes.
Probably most of us have been in situations with out-of-control groups of kids/teens. I also watched the video with my own experiences in mind.
Yeah, he didn’t look fearful to me, either. Maybe because, in my view, when being harassed by kids/teens, people don’t throw a punch unless they’re sure the kids/teens aren’t coming back to kill them. (And this man wasn’t exactly backed into a corner with no other choice.)
Yep, kids learn the hard way. I guess most of us did. This girl learned young. TBH, I didn’t learn until I was close to 40 never to argue with a big man (i.e. road rage incident - guy yelled at me - I yelled back - note to self: never do that again - lol).
