Welcome to Tuesday Night Fights, a weekly celebration and analysis of street-fight videos found on YouTube. Tonight's fisticuffs: "Knock Out Video." Tonight's commentator: Tyler, "a concerned sports fan from Chicago" who recorded said KO Video. (Coming next week: The previously mentioned Lady Wildin' in the Streets of Philadelphia.)
Let me paint you a picture of my stroll home from the bars in Bloomington, IL on Saturday.
My buddy and I were walking home from Elroy's after $3 pitcher night... Woof. We were down visiting our college buddies and we saw an altercation a-brewing.
I had to take out ye old iPhone and try to capture a modest Instagram video of the transpirations. Once I realized the magnitude of the event, I deleted the vid off Instagram and began a hammered-drunk focus group of first-time viewers to make sure this wasn't a shitty vid. The reactions were outstanding.
I'm not 100% sure what they were arguing about, but the dude who got knocked out was talkin a whole bunch of BS and deserved the knockout blow.
His friends were holding him back and telling him to shut the hell up and walk away. I guess that when you've got too many cocktails in your system, you don't know when to quit.
There were cops parked about 50 feet from the incident. They swung by the parking lot about a minute after the fact, asked one question (that I couldn't hear) and peeled out to presumably catch up with the jokester that delivered the prize-winner.
The shit you see on $3 pitcher night rivals it all. I think these guys just need to take a step back and realize that they're in "Southern Illinois."
What came to fruition was something out of a fairy tale. It really elevated my night to where it needed to be.
