A Hawaii Democratic congressional candidate was knocked unconscious during a profanity-laced beach confrontation captured on video days before he appeared in court on two felony terroristic threatening charges.
The video opens with Hawaii Democratic congressional candidate and U.S. House candidate Kirill Basin approaching a group of beachgoers and telling one man, "Put your bag away, bro. Put your bag away."
A woman then approached Basin as music by the Pixies played from a nearby speaker. Basin told the group, "I told him if he wants to go to the hospital, come here."
The confrontation briefly appeared to cool when Basin said, "It is over," before shaking another person's hand. The reprieve lasted only seconds.
Basin then turned toward another beachgoer, shouted an obscenity and resumed arguing with members of the group. When a man told Basin he was speaking to his girlfriend, Basin replied, "I don't care."

LOL. There is nothing more humiliating than being charged with a felony for a fight in which you got the s___t kicked out of you.
With name like Kirill Basin what do you expect? Probably lost his purse too.

Sounds like the woman involved was playing her music too loud. That started it. Her boyfriend defended her honor but what’s missed here is that women get themselves in trouble and men have to bail them out.
Hawaii is laid back. The same cannot be said in the SF bay area. We’re overdue for a major earthquake and I wonder how a million suddenly homeless types will keep order. Too many homeless and illegals with nothing to lose running amok. At least it isn’t LA.
My good buddy has a gun in his house. When the SHTF there won’t be enough cops to keep control. He’ll protect his property and family. Women don’t think about those things and men don’t have that luxury.
This Hawaii encounter is small potatoes.

I thought beach fights went out with the Mods and Rockers.
In this scene, it was the scrawny guy kicking sand in the muscle guy’s face. Did not end well for the scrawny guy.
Funny!
Damn, a million dollar bail. In most places even a murderer does not get that high of a bail.
That photo is worth one thousand words.
The story is,the muscle guy is a construction worker who teaches Martial Arts!
What the heck is that he has hung on his left nipple?
Any guesses?
"Where is my mind?"
The big guy is reportedly a martial artist. I doubt he was planning on punching the smaller guy until the smaller guy picked up the lawn chair as a weapon. Then all bets were off.
I live just east of Frisco. When local coppers allowed Antifa/BLM thugs to riot and march down streets throwing firebombs two blocks from my home my wife and I armed up. Guns and ammo, and visits to the range.
We will go down fighting, ‘cause I am not going to even bother calling the same coppers that allowed the terrorists to riot in the first place.
Nothing will change, much less improve, unless this clown is jailed.
