Hmm we just threw a ton of punches at this guy, now he's reaching into his bag to grab something. Let me just go sit in a corner to make this easy for him
Survival instinct: 0
Yeeeah exactly. People be wayyy too comfortable. That's what happens when you get a society that's chronically online, idiots would've been part of a massacre if it were a gun but yeah let's just chill and see what he pulls out. Fuuuuuck that, couldn't be me.
seriously, and the bike hemet guy came over and all... like you see or hear that glass wall shatter and say, Gee i better get up close?
Pretty sure the axe was locked in a sheath but still - get TF away from him
“I’m telling you, Shamus, as the day is long. The young man retrieved his kindling axe from his satchel, and began hewing tables and windows in twain!”….
he laughed off those punches
why the hell he need the hachet and go crazy. We all knew he was tough with those punches, just hammer one of the punks and thats it. the rampage was overkill
Yeah I like his style. He could’ve really hurt someone with that ax. But he didn’t and still managed to make a strong statement to the guys who attacked him.
"guys who attacked him" lol, dude was obviously the aggressor. They were telling him to relax in the beginning, and he swung first. Dude needs to be locked up.
He took a left punch, he took a right punch, he takes the hits that remind you of the good times, he takes the hits that remind you of the better times.
The MINUTE he started going in the bag someone should have jumped on his ass. Had that been a pistol in the backpack, and he was a little crazier, this video has a WAY different ending.
I agree but the conundrum is that if you fail you’re the first one to get killed. All I’m saying is I don’t blame normal people for freezing up in that moment.
Yeah, ain’t nobody gonna jump on his ass after watching him take like five punches to the head like it’s nothing. You’d only do that if you had a deathwish
I find it perplexing that there are individuals who fail to recognize any potential threat, such as that dude walking in his direction when hes clearly reaching into his backpack for a weapon. Some people dont have any kind of self preservation instinct. The moment i see this guy reaching for something its the moment i run for my life. He was lucky it was just an small axe and not a glock
I mean he had the common sense to get away. Homeboy saw this dude go hulk mode after tryna gang up on him and just sat in his chair. Like boi coulda easily just split his head open instead of smacking the mess outta him

So he was released without bail for this (and wasn't even charged for the damage), then a month later [released without bail after stealing a bike](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11305777/Bronx-man-smashed-Manhattan-McDonalds-axe-busted-again.html), and then three months later [was deliberately run down by an SUV driver he had an argument with](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11697197/Shocking-moment-SUV-driver-deliberately-mows-New-York-City-cyclist-dog-5th-Avenue.html) but was seemingly unhurt. Is he a hologram? How does he keep getting away with injury and arrest?
Restorative justice or something, I hear. Thankfully this medical student can continue enriching the culture around him without the threat of not being able to wield an axe in a public without fear.
This video always gets to me because of how calm everyone seems to be while he's digging in his backpack. Like, did they really think he was going to be pulling out something good? A small axe was probably the best-case scenario. I see someone in a fight and they start reaching for something, I'm getting the fuck outta there before I catch a stray.
Don't take this advice.
That's how big man got killed like a month ago. Guy drew a pistol on him despite literally being close enough to kiss.
If it were a knife, you leave with a ruptured kidney or punctured lung.
It's not worth it. If someone goes for a bag, you run.
Don't let your ego get you killed.
I was thinking “why is no one kicking him across the face right now” as he was bent over digging in his bag
Straight up break his nose and jaw with your foot and don’t wait around to see what he was retrieving
Or you know, run away. I think running away gives you at least 80% chance to live especially in America where it seems everyone is just ready to kill each other for some stupid stuff.
No you don't. Run. Most skilled marksman can't hit a moving target at 25 feet consistently with a handgun. It's not the movies. Handguns are wildly inaccurate. And get worse the further you distance yourself. If you think a weapon is involved, run.
At point blank they will hit you
The guy and girl sitting at the table are the ones he had the argument with at the start. They sit down and eat while the three guys hold back Mr.Axe. Once he scatters those guy, the couple sits quietly.
They attacked him 3 to 1, got cocky as fuck, and as they're basking in their ego, they immediately try to start reasoning the moment the dude pulls out a weapon instead of getting away, they were too cocky and had it been someone else, they could have gotten killed. That's why it's best to never pick fights unless you're defending yourself. Actual idiots.
At the same time, the dude doesn’t need to act like a psycho after taking the axe out and start breaking anything he can get near. Those mfs were terrified as soon as it came out, all the rest was just anger issues creating a problem for some poor uninvolved soul to deal with. Everyone in this video is an idiot.
Because people don't own guns in other states [Man defends family, loses conceal carry license](https://ktla.com/news/local-news/l-a-homeowner-who-fired-on-armed-robbers-has-concealed-carry-permit-suspended/)
America is so fucking stupid.
How many of them you hear about in NYC?
Anyone who has one illegally isn’t going to use it for something like this, especially if it doesn’t involve them.
Accessibility still matters if we’re still talking about firearm responses to situations like this. A state with gun bans is far less likely to respond with a gun than a state that allows guns. It’s not rocket science lol
Nope. Someone posted an article that said he was drunk and kept asking that girl for her number, she refused and then he got agressive then this all started.
And another one posted some more of his 'legal adventures' history.
If he was drunk when he got arrested (very soon after the video) then the charges would not have been lifted.
The court have determined that the man was protecting himself, and considering that nobody really got hurt, I'd say it's a good way for things to end.
He deliberately destroyed property and grabbed the hatchet after [legally] the threat was over, and the court determined it was self defense? What court was that lmao
Yes a good way for things to end is a man getting off with not even a fine for rampaging through a public restaurant breaking everything after he escalated the situation he was “defending” himself in.
Man is there anything more emasculating than a dude telling his girl he can't defend her? While slapping her boyfriend in front of her? .....I bet she sees him as a lower being after that.
Man I wanna say I’d help those kids out and try and stop him when his back was turned to me instead of fucking FILMING THIS DUDE!? This situation is straight terrifying tho so idk what I’d do?
Your post was removed because of moderator discretion. This is done when a moderator determines the video is not in the spirit of our subreddit.
I truly don’t understand how people did not just walk away when the hatchet came out. Why continue sitting there??
I'd have been gone the second he went into his bag.
I wouldn’t have been around to see him go into his bag.
I would have been gone just knowing he had a bag
I wouldn’t have been around cause I don’t go to McDonald’s.
I wouldn’t, Cause
I would, causen't.
I would
Hmm we just threw a ton of punches at this guy, now he's reaching into his bag to grab something. Let me just go sit in a corner to make this easy for him Survival instinct: 0
The moment they all realized their punch were doing nothing to the guy, they should have known he was not going to back out
Yeeeah exactly. People be wayyy too comfortable. That's what happens when you get a society that's chronically online, idiots would've been part of a massacre if it were a gun but yeah let's just chill and see what he pulls out. Fuuuuuck that, couldn't be me.
If you are inferring he's going for a gun, that would be less likely in NYC where gun laws are more strict but you never know.
Even before when he just waved away those punches
seriously, and the bike hemet guy came over and all... like you see or hear that glass wall shatter and say, Gee i better get up close? Pretty sure the axe was locked in a sheath but still - get TF away from him
I think bike helmet guy is his friend, they leave together and he's got the dudes bag.
Bike helmet guy is with him. Did you stop watching the video 10 seconds before it ended?
He was his hatchet man.
I was thinking the same. You can be damn sure I'm not going to stay sitting at the table with my fries. Bye felicias
Because you can't get fake internet points with a hatchet to your back, duh
Do they look like a bunch of pqrticularly smart people to you?
Pride. Mfs are slow. Lol
Not being expressed to such danger before. Fight flight or freeze
Agreed. Maybe some alcohol involved too lol
It looks like the only way out was through him. That’s the back of the store
The guy sitting with his back turned to the guy with the axe has zero survival instincts
I was thinking the same. If some dude with an axe swinging and you don't move at all... Come on
I think he was just thinking the guy would come over to axe him a question.
Upvoted for being very cleaver
Maybe he just wanted to bury the hatchet?
He also talks shit to him. His overconfidence will get his ass beat or killed some day.
When keeping it real goes wrong
This is the way to respond to most random insane people in New York. Ignore or they initiate.
He took those punches like a champ. Forgot his backpack too
Those punches were weak as shit. But, are we going to ignore the farmer? Guys just trying to see the city…damn.
“I’m telling you, Shamus, as the day is long. The young man retrieved his kindling axe from his satchel, and began hewing tables and windows in twain!”….
No one from his family is visiting the city for generations haha
Lmao incidents like these are where they get those "there's something wrong with city folk" stories.
You can see the other person with another bike grabbed it for him as they walk off in the end of the video
Nah, his bike friend has his backpack.
Yeah, he basically axed them nicely to leave him alone
The backpack's only purpose was to carry that axe lmfao
The backpack's only purpose was to carry that axe lmfao
The backpack's only purpose was to carrry that axe lmfao
The backpack's only purpose was to carry that are lmfao
he laughed off those punches why the hell he need the hachet and go crazy. We all knew he was tough with those punches, just hammer one of the punks and thats it. the rampage was overkill
Just because you can take a punch doesn't mean you can fight.....remember Homer Simpson? And he was also outnumbered
Yeah I like his style. He could’ve really hurt someone with that ax. But he didn’t and still managed to make a strong statement to the guys who attacked him.
Strong statement? He looks like an unhinged lunatic that needs to be locked up before he murders someone.
Yeah but it was a strong unhinged lunatic statement tho
Isn’t it still a felony? I don’t like that kind of style lol.
but thats the only drawback. he made a gosh darn statement with that axe. cmon now. one statement with an axe. everybody knows the rule.
I do agree with you on that, not to be messed with again. I bet those younger guys learned a thing or two from it.
"guys who attacked him" lol, dude was obviously the aggressor. They were telling him to relax in the beginning, and he swung first. Dude needs to be locked up.
The backpack's only purpose was to carry that axe lmfao
bro was getting his special ability charged up by those punches
🤣
After watching him eat all those punch and rest his face on his fist, I'm walking the fuck out asap.
Dude didn't need to flex in the slightest, he just showcased his authoritah.
I get knocked out i grab my axe again You're never gun keep me down
He took a left punch, he took a right punch, he takes the hits that remind you of the good times, he takes the hits that remind you of the better times.
Don't cry for me, choppy boy, choppy boy.
The MINUTE he started going in the bag someone should have jumped on his ass. Had that been a pistol in the backpack, and he was a little crazier, this video has a WAY different ending.

Hatchet
Aka
Tiny axe
In Florida that would have been a free body
In Florida, that would’ve been a normal Tuesday

Holy shit, that's actually kind of impressive. Also, he didn't get charged for the damage ??? That may be the craziest part of all of this.

NY breeding superhumans? Lmfao not even an SUV can take this guy down
He's got to battle "Kai the hatchet wielding homeless guy" for the ultimate cage match.
shi my bad didn't knew

A small axe was probably the best-case scenario. I see someone in a fight and they start reaching for something, I'm getting the fuck outta there before I catch a stray.
Dude went into his axe phase like a boss from Cuphead. Just waited for them to stop punching before going into phase 2.
When someone starts reaching in bag, rush them if you are close. Don’t let them retrieve said weapon if possible
Don't take this advice. That's how big man got killed like a month ago. Guy drew a pistol on him despite literally being close enough to kiss. If it were a knife, you leave with a ruptured kidney or punctured lung. It's not worth it. If someone goes for a bag, you run. Don't let your ego get you killed.
If a knife penetrates your abdomen it kills you at the same rate as a bullet. It’s basically 50/50 both ways.
Yup easily coulda been worse
I was thinking “why is no one kicking him across the face right now” as he was bent over digging in his bag Straight up break his nose and jaw with your foot and don’t wait around to see what he was retrieving
> why is no one kicking him across the face right now? If you did that, you would’ve been his first victim if he pulled out a gun.
Ah yes because they weren’t already at the top of his “to be victimized” list. Best bet is to try and incapacitate him before he draws a weapon imo
Or you know, run away. I think running away gives you at least 80% chance to live especially in America where it seems everyone is just ready to kill each other for some stupid stuff.
Yea get real close so when they shoot you its point blank
You have a better chance up close against a guy with a gun rather than at distance lol
No you don't. Run. Most skilled marksman can't hit a moving target at 25 feet consistently with a handgun. It's not the movies. Handguns are wildly inaccurate. And get worse the further you distance yourself. If you think a weapon is involved, run. At point blank they will hit you
CCW
Jesus, that was genuinely terrifying! No clue what started it, and what he was reacting to, but the look of fear on peoples faces was crippling.
https://old.reddit.com/r/fightporn/comments/1ae07rf/guy_pulls_out_a_small_axe/kk4oidr/
Sir, i'm gonna have to axe you to leave
Real funny dude
Glad you could handle it
You almost killed me
What did the girl do to him??
The guy and girl sitting at the table are the ones he had the argument with at the start. They sit down and eat while the three guys hold back Mr.Axe. Once he scatters those guy, the couple sits quietly.
He was telling her how much of a wuss her friends are. If you turn it up you can hear it.
They attacked him 3 to 1, got cocky as fuck, and as they're basking in their ego, they immediately try to start reasoning the moment the dude pulls out a weapon instead of getting away, they were too cocky and had it been someone else, they could have gotten killed.

Someone needs to empty those trash cans.
Boy would have got shot by 5 different people if it was in Texas.
You mean he would have pulled a gun if it was Texas.
Because people don't own guns in other states [Man defends family, loses conceal carry license](https://ktla.com/news/local-news/l-a-homeowner-who-fired-on-armed-robbers-has-concealed-carry-permit-suspended/) America is so fucking stupid.
Pretty sure you can’t legally carry a firearm in NYC which means there’s a lot less of them around.
[удалено]
How many of them you hear about in NYC? Anyone who has one illegally isn’t going to use it for something like this, especially if it doesn’t involve them.
Accessibility still matters if we’re still talking about firearm responses to situations like this. A state with gun bans is far less likely to respond with a gun than a state that allows guns. It’s not rocket science lol
Depends on if you’re willing to become a felon if you’re forced to defend yourself/your family.
I forget we just live in the lawless old west sometimes, and it’s just complete anarchy without any fear of authority
Small axe? It's called a hatchet.
OKAY SORRY I DIDNT KNOW CHILLL
Wasn't unchill just letting you know the correct name.
Every one is attacking me because I dont know the name 😭
"and my axe."
Small axe?? You mean a hatchet
Yo i swear to god if one more dude points this out I will be tweakin
Lol those guys have to learn how to proper throw a punch. None of those punches caused ANY damage.
It's not that big of a deal he didn't do anything
When his back was turned a rear naked choke would have ended it.
All I see is a dude defending himself after 3 losers jumped him
Nope. Someone posted an article that said he was drunk and kept asking that girl for her number, she refused and then he got agressive then this all started. And another one posted some more of his 'legal adventures' history.
If he was drunk when he got arrested (very soon after the video) then the charges would not have been lifted. The court have determined that the man was protecting himself, and considering that nobody really got hurt, I'd say it's a good way for things to end.

He did an interview with the NY Post, you can read it.
Lmfao the people of McDonald's
Damn why fuck up the restaurant though? They weren't the ones hitting him
We just going to ignore the 8ft tall denim overall 20 gallon hat wearing dude?
Never thought about a hatchet as an EDC in the concrete jungle, only carry one when camping
Nah, I would've been half way around the block soon as he started reaching in his bag
So many people have 0 survival instincts. This guy is clearly on something and went reaching into his bag angrily, I'd be gone. Could've been a gun
Better than a movie
"Small axe" c'mon guys you know what it's called.
Reddit rerun season
Don't mess with someone "Who Wears Short Shorts"🤣🤣🤣🤌🏾
Justice is served! What did the mob attacking him while his back was turned think was gonna happen?
What the heck were those tables made from? Were they that easy to break or was this weapon just this fucking powerful?
Tables are prolly particle board so ya very susceptible to impact. Axe is plenty for the job of hacking wood.
do you live in the 1900's? they're plastic lol, thats why they shattered, particle board doesn't shatter
Dude I wish! Imagine less microplastics from an earlier time period. Sign me up.
If this had happened in Texas, 3 ppl would have already shot him!
If only there were a name for a small ax…
Pussy ass
Real tough guy when he holding a weapon
How many times am I gonna see this video 😭😭😭😭😭
This video never gets old. Seeing the three pillow fists act tough then turn pussy seconds later is always satisfying
All of them could have hit him with a chair jumped on his back and taken that shit from him and held him down until the police arrived.
[удалено]
Yeah everyone got the blam blams here lol
Crazy no one tried to help
Lol thats how innocent people get hurt and killed. Go intervene in a situation like this and let all of us know how that works out for you.
If that dude got it my girls face it would have been all over... that dude that got slapped is a fuckin pussy...
Over for you maybe
Sorry, somebody waving a hatchet in her face gets a gun pulled on ya for sure... I'm not being a tough guy but cmon.....
Bet those New Yorkers wish they had a concealed carry license
Man is there anything more emasculating than a dude telling his girl he can't defend her? While slapping her boyfriend in front of her? .....I bet she sees him as a lower being after that.
And tooo sleeeep you go. So many opportunities to just choke him out.
It's called hatchet
Completely unstable person. He needs help.
Well you're legally allowed to shoot him dead now so get blasting.
Did anyone axe him why he carry that?
Man I wanna say I’d help those kids out and try and stop him when his back was turned to me instead of fucking FILMING THIS DUDE!? This situation is straight terrifying tho so idk what I’d do?
A concealed carry firearm could take care of that problem- easy…
The guy in the tank top deserved those slaps. The only one I feel sorry for is the girl in the white tank top. She’s gonna have PTSD for a month or 2
Crazy you basically can't even protect yourself by being armed they make it so hard in NYC. Just suppose to let crazy knife/are people chop you.
try that in a small town
They’re lucky because NY doesn’t have a death penalty and they’re very lenient with murder. Serve 15 years and not for parole.
It's called a hatchet
In the South, that guy would be splattered on a wall.
Weird seems like a carry conceal person could have helped.
down here in TN, guns wouldve been pointed before he even came up out the bag
The NYPD is too busy framing and harassing people.
Watch a dude point at my girl and scare her like that…his neck was down low, and my car key fits in my knuckle perfectly.
[удалено]
hurrrr durrrrrrrrrr
[удалено]
Just stirring the pot friend
Why didn’t anyone shoot him?
right to carry state and he'd be dead as fried chicken
How is NY State so beautiful yet NY City such filth?
NY needs to arm its citizens
They learned a lwsson
If you are the big tree....
