...and shit...
California authorities are urging the public for help in identifying the men responsible for the the brutal beating of a motorist along a Los Angeles freeway, as well as locating the victim and bystander who taped the fight and posted it online.
The beating, which was filmed by an unknown witness, occurred around 3:30 p.m. June 12 along the I-5 Freeway on the northbound side of Interstate 5 approaching 7th Street, near downtown Los Angeles, the California Highway Patrol said at a news conference Wednesday.
Authorities were unaware of the beating until it went viral, with more than 100,000 views online as of Wednesday morning.
The graphic two-minute video, reportedly shot on a smartphone camera and uploaded to YouTube, shows a man arguing with three other men standing outside of their cars. The beating victim is seen throwing the first punch and kick at one of the suspects.
The fight then turns into a two-against-one brawl when two of the men begin punching and kicking the man before wrestling him to the ground.

**** that. Who stops their car in the middle of a freeway to confront someone when you are out numbered 3 or 4 to 1? You are in your car, you stay in it until you can get to a safe area. Besides the guy that got his ass beat seems to be the one that instigated the actual fight. Look at his body language and posture. He threw the first punch and kick. Sometimes people deserve to get their ass beat. Besides you never know who is carrying a gun these day. I'm not getting lumped up or shoot over a couple of assholes trying to prove who is bigger and badder on the freeway.
At the point that the guy was down and getting kicked in the head i would have done something but up until then its up to him to bob and weave.

:iagree:
This wasn't like watching an elderly woman being beaten, or having her purse snatched. Who was the innocent victim, here? Really hard to tell if there even was one. Had I been there, I might have actually called 9-1-1. As much as I don't like the po-po, that's their job to break up fights.
If I can't tell who is the innocent person, I sure as Hell am not getting involved. What? I can get beaten down too? Those are other people, with other people problems.

The rest of the article linked in the OP:
After kicking the victim repeatedly in the head as he lay motionless on the freeway, the two men rush into their VW Jetta with a third man and speed off. The camera shows the California license plate of the Jetta to be 3UGW962.
Authorities are asking for the public's assistance in locating the victim and suspects involved. The only clue they have so far is the video; officers investigating the beating were unaware of any call log or report about the incident, according to KTTV.
"We are in the early stages of this investigation," said a CHP official, who urged anyone with information to call the CHP central Los Angeles office.
A man claiming to be the victim reportedly spoke to KABC-TV, saying the three men were taunting him on the freeway before they got out of their vehicle and approached him. The man, who did not give his name, told the station that he suffered a concussion and has little recollection of what happened.
If only there was a way for the police to track that license plate number.
And a PSA: If you find yourself in a street fight, stay on your feet. If you go down on the ground, you will get kicked in the head and probably the ribs, too.
Oh, and if the taunting part turns out to be true, count on Mr. Skinhead getting charged with a hate crime. It is Los Angeles, after all.

Just tell the cops that the owner has an unpaid speeding or no front plate ticket. They will go through Hell and half of Georgia to find the owner.
Freeway killing: meh, where's the nearest donut shop.
Unpaid speeding ticket: let's roll, and have SWAT standing by.

So, the guy pulls over to the side of the freeway, alone in LA, to confront three men that are taunting him...and then throws the first punches. Ok, I see.
He didn't deserve a beat down to that extent, but...feck with the wrong people and this is what can happen.

The real lesson here is to never get involved in a fight if it's just one-on-one. The fourth rule of Fight Club is there have to be at least 3 people involved so the third participant can take smartphone video and post it to YouTube.

There are legions of people out there operating on little more than their brain stems, and what scant cognitive ability they have is devoted to proving how tough they are to the rest of the world.
Sometimes they encounter one another and this happens.
I'm thinking of finding a remote island to live on.
Two arrested so far...

The victim has told TV stations he unintentionally cut off another car and suffered a concussion in the resulting fight.
So all this was over a near miss? WTF would they do if there was actual damage?
:slap:

Straight up marked for death, yo. Busting up some dude's nine year old Lexus on 20's is a jumping-the-counter-at-Mickey-D's level offense.

If the CHP is anything like the Ohio HP, we would tell them, "That's a clue."
