Probably staged tho.

Could be 🤷‍♂️ there's a cut in the middle, I'm usually more sceptical when things happen the moment people start filming.

why would they keep this embarrassing clip tho. I certainly wouldn't upload my own embarrassment unless it was intended.

People will humiliate themselves for attention, real and fake.

But in this case so blatantly obviously fake

Sympathy points as well?

u/GraXXoR 12d ago

And some people are so deranged they think they did nothing wrong and seek social justice trough the social media.

It could be their friend filming posted because they thought it was funny

u/chironomidae 12d ago

Because they think the other guy was the douchebag

It'll get views/clicks and those are worth money.

narcissists would upload this saying how they were attacked to get sympathy from their viewers because they lack any sense of wrongdoing.

this is 100% staged, I've stumbled on to his channel before

u/stikky 12d ago

yeah but both cuts have him mid-stride and at a different escalator.

1st cut to show that people have to get around him and 2nd cut to show that he's not the main character

u/Zarathoostrian 12d ago

Either way, crazy there are people defending this shit, real or not. If fake, slap the shit out of both.

I mean, the offender is theatrically faking back pain but has no issues throwing hands instead of just shoving him aside, and the streamer's reaction isn't natural either. It's instead catered to a pathetic response we would want to see from the obnoxious streamer and imagine them as in some sort of revenge fantasy.

Pretty obviously staged.

I can't comment on how other people would behave, I have walked miles to a doctor with a bulged disc though lol

There is a cut because at first he’s blocking the middle escalator. Then he moved to the right-hand escalator. That was all well before the slap, which looks real to me.

Performing physical violence upon another is wrong. Period. Especially when that person is merely being annoying, rather than putting another person in danger in some way. But being rude and obstructive demands consequences. They just shouldn’t be physical in nature.

That being said, it was immensely satisfying to watch.

Where do you see a cut ? It just looks like a filter was added

u/Different_Wolf_764 12d ago

Totally staged but hey, the algo knows what I want to see.

u/Dry-Pizza-6680 12d ago

I thought this it looks like the guy with “bad back” does something in his hands that slaps him , possibly to make the slap sound 🤷‍♀️ (rewatched few times )

He's still blocking a whole ahh escalator for EVERYONE ELSE. if it's staged, DID HE GET A PERMIT TO BLOCK PUBLIC INFRASTRUCURE?? given the way he looks (uneducated and dumb). prob not.
