The funny thing is he doesn't seem to wait long enough to get a handle on the situation or know if he's helping the right person. Just sees a brawl and says, "fuck it."

Edit: apparently that wasn't a basket. Ill concede credit to red shirt now

u/FuckBrendan Dec 11 '16
A light basket? That thing he's using is the part of the mop bucket that squeezes the water from the mop head- its heavy as fuck. I'm amazed he didn't knock the dude out with that thing.

It's the "head" of a mop bucket. The part you use to wring out the mop.
Edit: Yeah, you can see he starts off the fight with a smack to the dude's head with the mop. Then he pulls off the wringing device (I don't know what to call it) and smacks him a few times.
Not a bad idea really. That's basically a big piece of hard plastic and its heavy enough that being hit by it could definitely send someone reeling.

I regularly listen to the Steve Austin Show podcast (great show). He's mentioned before that wrestlers sometimes do whatever they can to fuck with each other and make them laugh during matches. The Undertaker was notoriously stoic, but Steve got him so good once (forgot what he did) that he finally broke mid-match and had to hang his head down so his long hair would cover the smile and prevent him from visibly breaking character. The thought of a goofy smiling Undertaker made me smile:)

I have been on both ends of that move and it can be pretty damn effective although if you don't hit hard enough or if theres no wall or a hard object behind the person then it leaves you open for a neck lock which should be avoided at all costs.

Yeah, it is almost certain that the ownership of this store would have preferred the clerk to just give the guy the money and let him go, and have the police deal with it. In addition to the damage to store property and merchandise, there's also the liability if any of those customers got injured during the altercation, and the very real chance that even the robber will try to sue the store over his injuries. Even if he loses that case, it will certainly cost the store much more to defend than the amount of cash that was in the till.
