I don’t know what airport this happened in but the video is disturbing.

One:
I want to be clear on this, I am not victim-blaming, but always start with de-escalation. There is no need to make rude gestures at people you don’t know. Rude gestures are never a justification for violence, but it’s just better to stoically walk away.
Two:
Escape and evasion. If that fight is coming, get the fuck out of there.
Three:
If the fight happens, stay on your feet, don’t let yourself go to the ground. When your head is at foot level, they will always try to stomp your brains in. Stay on your feet.
Four:
There are no rules in a fight. Anything you do to come away with minimal damage is fair game. You fight like a wolverine on PCP. Unleash your inner berserker and go fucking mad. Anything you can use as a weapon, use as a weapon. Go for the eyes. If they can’t see they can’t fight. Gouge eyes, stab eyes, a start yourself an eye-kabob with a ballpoint pen.
They may fight you because you insulted their dignity. You are fighting for your life, act like it.
What. The. Hell.
I get that airports are stressful, flying is yucky, COVID is stressful, and there are lots of (#$”%holes out there. I do.
But this… wow.
And where was the airport security?
There were airport employees standing there filming the action.
I would at this point add:
Five: Stay away from large groups of black people. Whenever there are large groups of them, and they outnumber whites, you are in danger.
This was a good idea years ago. In the age of 1619 project and Everything is Racist, it’s just common sense.
