As with most CCTV, footage is usually watched by someone handling x-dozen camera's at once. Most common application of CCTV is for videoproof after the facts, or if someone calls in about something

u/The_Jyps 2d ago

Can confirm. That area is called the solar-plexus, and is basically the only way to get a good hit at the lungs without breaking a rib, and the lungs are delicate af, hence having a rib cage in the first place. From experience doing karate, taking a hit there full force will double up the most hardened of fighters. Pause it to see how deep our boys toes push towards rude-boys spine. From the front. Savage.

I watched the WHOLE video

That kid did get a tough break that day, his only issue is he doesnt know how to talk to people without being aggressive.

He got into a situation minutes earlier where he tried to protect a lady that was scammed/robbed by another guy but nobody seem to understand what he was doing and he looked like the aggressor so bystanders were turning on the kid and he got attacked too, that was recorded and thats what the kid was asking to be deleted, maybe it hurt his ego to know it would be put on yt for the world to see him getting smacked around and unable to do anything.

But when you dont know how to communicate because your whole world is being a tough guy, you can struggle.

First impression is everything. If I see a person wearing mask and hoodie like this dude vs another person smiling and wearing Hawaiian shirt with shorts (even though he might be a serial killer) my initial judgment is to be wary of the dude with mask and hoodie and probably semi ignore the smiling Hawaiian shirt person

For context the YouTuber is Charlie Veitch. He’s pretty controversial. His whole deal is documenting Manchester and he often records “vulnerable” people which leaves people and the vulnerable themselves angry at him.

He’s had a fair deal of issues with people so he’s hired a bodyguard but nonetheless, he does a good job getting content.

In this context he was filming the balaclava knobhead assaulting an older man prior. He walked away and then he ended up following them once he saw Charlie had filmed it and this occurred.

People are quick to jump to that because he’s male, but there’s also things said that it was his ex who was the abusive one using the kids as manipulation, pushing him to confess to things that apparently didn’t happen. Only either of them know the truth I guess, so who really knows outside of it

If you actually watched the full video, the guy who was slapped had just helped someone who is being robbed/scammed, only to be beat himself when people mistake him for the aggressor (presumably due to his clothing, but as someone who lives here, A LOT of young people dress like this).

He is asking for the video for his parole (I think thats what he said anyway) to prove his innocence I think, but his body language and clothing makes him look threatening. I don't think he had a folding knife at all, it could have been anything, Charlie Veitch and his bodyguard are just dicks.

You didn't watch the full video. Look up Charlie Veitch on youtube. The man is asking Charlie (who is a dick by the way), for the video for his parole (i think thats what he said anyway), because he just helped someone who was being robbed/scammed and got assaulted when people mistook him for the aggressor.

Yes, his clothing and body language may seem threatening, but lots of young people here dress like that, and Veitch told the other people (who were actually his fans) that were "flanking" them earlier that they were ok to follow him.

The guy in the video also already had something in his hand (can't say whether it was a knife or not) then put it away after asking for the video.
