Apparently, you don't realize that this type of incident has happened several times as evidenced by online news reports. Yes -- nail salon technicians have been assaulted by customers -- do a search engine check.
Why do you expect anyone to know offhand that this particular incident is (according to the other poster) a skit -- when so many other incidents are not? It's not a matter of critical thinking when these type of incidents are a common occurrence and this footage appeared to be just another of the same type.
Edited to add: By the way, I was more struck by the violence of the video to the point that nothing else mattered. I was not reacting to the race of the "perpetrator" or the "victim", nor the supposed circumstances involving the card. Did it ever occur to you that some people have a gut reaction to seeing violence in any form?
So in your world people beat the hell out of one another all the time? So sorry for you. I don't see things like that outside of movies which, I already know are fiction.
When something is placed on this board -- and it is something that is an occurrence which happens with some frequency in the real world -- I had no reason to assume (as the other poster claimed) it was a skit. The thought that I was watching an actual person being beaten up sickened me.
I make it a point to avoid aggressive people and situations. And I also avoid situations which, can deteriorate into aggression. When I was a child, the nuns used to refer to it as "avoiding the near occasion of sin". I have found that following that one simple piece of advice allows you to view footage like that and properly label it as violence because that is exactly what it is! I have never developed an "immunity" to seeing one person injuring another.
Did someone take it down? Because there were two videos up this morning when I commented. One was of an Asian gentleman talking and the other was of a woman hitting and stomping on a nail technician whom she presumably had knocked to the ground. It was completely overwhelming in its violence and I have no idea how long it was because it was one of those things that shocked me so deeply I felt it went on forever.

What "violence"? Seriously, did we watch the same video?
That verbal violence, ya know. They clearly didn't watch it.

What video are you watching? Because the one posted here has zero violence in it.
You're commenting on a video that's not the one that is being shown in this post.
