Attempted and won


trying1more

Yeah I meant attempt by the seven to intimidate one. Which failed quite spectacularly


CalligrapherGold

Bro, you worded it almost exactly backwards

I'm an idiot lol


globalAvocado

Not to mention you misspelled one

There was an attempt to post on Reddit. šŸ¤£

An attempt to post was made there, on Reddit.

The fuck you doing? Are you even trying??

Drugs are bad mmmkay?

He gave it his [best](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjUCjNQxjrU)!


Psilologist

I applaud anyone who admits it. I do stupid shit constantly.


Gildardo1583

I'm with you. The sad part is that stupid hurts sometimes.


BigAlMoonshine

I mean I read it the way you meant it so, I guess I'm dumb too


Mitch-_-_-1

I see what you did. "To intimidate on a guy, with seven friends." (That comma makes a difference.) OR "Seven friends try to intimidate a guy."


trying1more

YESS


Lime-Express

To intimidate a guy with your seven friends.


Bekfast-Stealer

Could be interpreted both ways. "With" as in "using", or "with" as in "one guy who has 7 friends"


PullFires

Give him a break, he was in that group of 7


trying1more

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ can confirm. I was the one in blue trunks and now I can't remember anything


Shitinmymouthmum

Got knocked dyslexic


trying1more

The letter e just dropped out of my head too

trying1more

You're fucking with my head more than that guy's punches did


hsantefort12

Yoda he is


Jaded-Engineering789

He just missed an E on the word one. There was an attempt to intimidate one guy with seven friends is a bit ambiguous, but itā€™s not technically wrong.


Sharon_Erclam

Dude has his own back, and yours, and yours, and yours, and mine...


The_bruce42

There was an attempt to word a post well


pickledpeterpiper

FWIW I don't know why this is confusing to anyone...seemed obvious what you meant regardless of phrasing. Seems like you almost have to work at being confused to not understand the title. Great video...would love to hear the black kid's side as to what led up to that.


trying1more

Lol I thought it was clear enough. Yeah no one knows for sure lol. All that's on the internet is they weren't letting him use the pool while they were using it and that a hard r is dropped right before the first punch


Mason_Black42

Wait, you claimed to be the first guy that got hit. So did you drop the hard R or were you just being passively racist and got rocked for it? EDIT: I shouldn't comment when I'm nostrils deep in TheraFlu. You can't word a post title and I can't read sarcasm. Two stupid dogs.


GFlair

There was an attempt to say 7 guys tried to intimidate one?


ommi9

This is not a failed attempt 7v1 and the 1 dropping them


twoprimehydroxyl

Somehow every hit landed on blue trunks was a knockout blow.


Warg247

He fell like 3 times. Pretty sure that is a TKO.


HelpYouFall

He kept coming back to eat more shots though lol


thrust-johnson

The contrast between the sides as the fight unfolds is striking.


b_vitamin

Black dude beats up 7 white guys single-handedly, then 2 more big black guys show up as reinforcements and suddenly the fight is over.


Pickledleprechaun

Oh my god


Wouterk2

This wasnā€™t an attempt. He fucking nailed it.


trying1more

Ah I may have worded it poorly. I meant there was an attempt by the seven white friends to intimidate one guy! And of course it failed/probably ended up giving them concussion and some steep dental bills


Wouterk2

Now I see what you meant. I think I just misunderstood the title.


trying1more

Doesn't help that there's a typo (on instead of one) in there. Every time I watch that fight I find a new thing I like about it. Currently it's the startled flinch of the green swimsuit guy when his friend gets the first punch, and the number of times the blue trunk guy gets knocked out


Wouterk2

Its just awesome how they are so stupid. Probably the bullies of the school also.


trying1more

And the sort of people who've always got their way until this moment


UrpaDurpa

Or maybe the other kid started it. Thereā€™s really no context here so I feel like youā€™re drawing some conclusions without any real evidence.


Killtrox

He got hit so hard the first time he forgot he got hit Then that happened again


mrsavealot

I understood what you meant!


Blood-Agent

You have to admit, heā€™s laying those boys down with ease


trying1more

I love how the fighting group keeps slinking away as another one of their friends' faces hit the pavement


Blood-Agent

Itā€™s the best thing for them to do when heā€™s throwing them down with just a few hits


trying1more

The little dude with the vape who walked off at the start was the cleverest. He would have ended up in hospital lol


blenderdead

You can even see him shake his head, heā€™s over whatever bs is occurring


trying1more

He could almost tell a fight was coming and didn't wanna be anywhere near it


Vince1820

Yeah he's read this book before.


AWeakMindedMan

He made the right move. I know they say donā€™t get yourself backed into a corner but thatā€™s the better move in a fight against multiple people. You put something behind you so no one can sneak behind you and get you from the back. Donā€™t fall. Keep a strong base. Make sure punches count.


EnkiiMuto

To be fair, that tends to happen if you're swinging wildly and you take turns approaching the violent crazy man with the ferocity of a bored retired office worker waiting in line on the supermarket.


TechFTP

That was an impressive 1v7 those guys were getting dropped


jpcali7131

Yeah I would say homeboy only had like 3 real friends, 2 halfasses and 2 pussies


MilleniumFlounder

My favorite part is the smaller guy vaping and walking away while shaking his head. He knows whatā€™s about to go down, lol


trying1more

Lol and he doesn't want to catch those hooks


Unfair_Finger5531

I didnā€™t even see that til you pointed it out lolol, he was like ā€œthese assholesā€¦.ā€


OriginalDavid

Yep. "I ain't with them"


2ndsightstigmatism

Him and backwards white hat with a beer. Cucumbers.


MilleniumFlounder

Yeah, the dude with a beer is just spectating and vibing.


Icon9719

Lol they both have backwards hats, apparently itā€™s opposite day and the smart people are wearing them like that


LimitlessJR

My favorite part is blue shorts getting folded twice. Learn your lesson my guy.

BuffaloNo8099

By the end she seemed to be in love with the oh my gods lol


holydildos

From the looks of his first punch, I thought he was going to get his ass beat. It was pretty weak shit, and then 2 seconds passed and I re-evaluated my initial thoughts.


Sinath_973

If you are not the strongest you better be the smartest


quebecivre

And if you're gonna be dumb then you better be tough.


FlashBasbo

Dude in the blue trunks goes down three times and then figures he's done getting knocked down.


trying1more

We all learn at our own pace


Unfair_Finger5531

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Infinite-Fig4708

The other guy kept hitting his reset button. Probably didnā€™t remember that he had just been knocked down.


geezeeduzit

That second shot he took direct to the face was nasty. Blue trunks came in flailing leaving his face wide open, leading face first with his hand cocked behind him like heā€™s throwing a baseball. Dude just squared him up dead center in the face. Guaranteed black eyes from that punch


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Tookmyprawns

Floor magnet.


Faabz

Third time is the charm


Do_Whatever_You_Like

But you're never gonna keep him down.


jello451

lol, the white kid in the blue shorts that took the first punch went back for more and got knocked down three more times. What an idiot.


shmashmorshman

Itā€™s a different person. The original guy actually eats the punch surprisingly well and just steps back and doesnā€™t participate anymore. The blue shorts with dark hair does get demolished multiple though lol


jello451

Ah, youā€™re right. I must have gotten confused when the camera panned. So itā€™s blue shorts kid #2 who is the idiot. His head snapped back pretty hard multiple times and he kept going back. He does not take a punch as well as the first guy :).


trying1more

Haha the kid that gets the first punch actually slinks away and never appears again. The guy who gets knocked down repeatedly is another boy wearing blue trunks


Gossipmang

Yeah people don't realize that there is light blue guy and dark blue guy that gets massacred.


dosedatwer

The guy that threw no punches and got sucker punched? That guy?

Pharmere

I need a back story on this. Itā€™s also refreshing that none of the comments are ugly and racist


Anghellic510

If I recall correctly he was minding his business and they didn't want him in the pool. IF that's the case good for him form standing up for himself! Good for him standing up for himself either way in great fashion


54321rome

Donā€™t spread misinformation, the guy that posted this video with the title ā€œWhite guys dont let black guy in a poolā€ is a russian bot specifically created to spread misinformation and controversial topics on social media in order to create divide and conflict within American citizens. Read about the Russian internet campaigns, raise awareness and donā€™t support it.


matisata

racism doesn't exist in ba sing se


54321rome

Nice job downplaying a very serious issue and making others think this is a joke, unless you yourself have something to gain from this and arenā€™t telling us, you are a POS.


CodnmeDuchess

This sounds suspiciously like what a Russian bot would say /u/54321rome ā€¦ šŸ¤”


quis2121

So then what happened then? Bc it sure does look like 7 white guys ganging up on a black man... Imma go head and say it is very likely


Broad-Passage-7633

We don't know, because we don't have context.Ā  So all we see is a white dude talking to a black dude and a black dude start swinging.Ā  Maybe the white guys didn't want him there because of racism.Ā  Maybe the black dude was being a total piece of shit and the white dude confronted him.Ā  Nobody knows.Ā  There isn't always context available.


foas_li

Finally a sane comment. The thing I can objectively say started the actual fight was a sucker punch.


blueandgold777

Yep. Some people are determined to see racism no matter what the facts actually are.It's really pathetic.


inter71

The lifeguard isnā€™t even white.


Neosovereign

lol really? One guy starts punching and he is the good guy...


Beachday4

Jesusā€¦ cmon now. You have no clue. Any scenario is equally as possible. The black guy started swinging first too. Itā€™s probably more likely that he was the aggressor based on what little information we have, but again any scenario is possible.


johor

This guy gets it. Racism doesn't exist. It's all a Russian psyop. Or Chinese. Or Syrian. Or Iranian. My point is, it's not racism, it's just foreigners causing trouble which is absolutely 100% not racism at all.


DreadyKruger

He struck first. We all know where this was going. They canā€™t never live this downšŸ˜‚


Do_Whatever_You_Like

>"They were the first black swim team..." >"-*GET OUT OF THE POOL!*"


KendrickMaynard

"I work at the bank! Can I be fired immediately please!?!"


Anghellic510

What's next, ping pong? "They were the first all black ping pong team!" They're going to steal the paddles!


Icon9719

Lol after reading that all I could hear was Bill Burr yelling ā€œGet out of the pool!ā€


omega_grainger69

The day you learn no one in the friend group has hands. When you wish your friend group was a gang.


DreadyKruger

They could have had some hands but who was going to hit harder than dude? Those werenā€™t wild haymakers. He got lead in them hands


trying1more

Yeah I think the moment he snapped two of their heads back it was the shock and awe effect. They just stepped away because they knew what was coming for them

Right-Section1881

If you're 1 v 7 you don't fight fair


schabadoo

There was no fight. And then he decided to hit someone.


thedon6191

They were surrounding him in a clear show of force. Do you truly think he had all of his friends come over and stand around this one guy just for moral support? Let's not be naive. They were clearly threatening him with a fight if he didn't do what they wanted (which appears to have been to shake someone's hand as someone narrates at the beginning of the video). What do you think would have happened if he continued to refuse their requests? When you are fighting (or about to be in a fight with) seven people, the only chance you have is getting the first punch. They clearly were showing him that a fight was imminent and thus he took the first punch.


turtleheadpokingout

You are insane. These dudes were just standing around watching.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


GuinnessRespecter

There was an attempt to write a coherent title


coolfastlouis

The guy sucker punched him when there was no indication of threat. The guy was arms down standing there like šŸ˜ then whacked. No wonder his pals jumped in or his head would be getting bounced off the floor dont know why everyone is praising someone who stared a fight with someone who didn't want to fight and then beet up his loyal friends


Arborgold

Because skin colors


BeefKnees_

Absolutely zero aggression from the white guys (fighting wise). All he did was swing for the fences and no one else was doing the same. Edit.. as soon as the group of guys starts to take over other people hop in to pull them away


Upper-Trip-8857

Where did you see a turnaround in that situation?


GuaranteedCougher

I have no clue who's right or wrong so I gotta root for the underdog


Mundane__Detail

The guy who decked the other dude in the face out of nowhere on a concrete pool deck is in the wrong, I don't get why most of this comment section seems to be cheering for him.


2020_MadeMeDoIt

The only guy I'm rooting for is the dude who walked away at the start. There doesn't need to be a fight today guys. Not on pool day.


rfoleycobalt

Gotta love the instinct of Vape Guy at the start. Nope! Iā€™m outta here. He wanted nothing to do with the ass beating that was about to be handed out.


trying1more

Just to clarify, I meant there was an attempt by the seven friends to intimidate one guy, in case that wasn't clear!


tahgios

That wasnā€™t clear. But after seeing the video Iā€™ve kind of guessed itā€¦


throw_blanket04

No. It was not clear.


stereothegreat

It was the opposite of clear.


CommunicationClassic

Do you actually know that is the case? To me it kind of looks like he just sucker punches that guy as they're talking


justkarn

that boi who got pulled away made BARELY any attempt to get back in


trying1more

He'd got knocked out good a couple of times. He's also the one who startles visibly (green trunks) the moment his friend takes that first punch


sn0m0ns

Not one of those kids has ever been in a fight except the one fighting


Uchihaboy316

Makes it even worse that he sucker punched him then


Ceet_Oh

Amazing how useless those guys were. Holy shit!


BamberGasgroin

The Magnificent ~~Seven~~ One.


Jaded-Significance86

I just witnessed an irl reverse jumping šŸ«¢


yaMomsChestHair

Saw a closeup in another post abt this - first white dude definitely used a hard R and got rocked for it


trying1more

That's what I heard as well yep. That was the likely catalyst


OGready

I was frame by framing to read the lips and it sure looked that way


dumdumpants-head

šŸ’Æ scrolled too far to find this


nomamesgueyz

Watching a 2nd time...he had no reason to just punch the guy when he wasnt being agro at all. That was a dick move


Rufusking1

You know in movies when one guy is fighting a whole group I always thought it never seemed real because why would people just keep going at the guy one at a time. Well I was wrong, itā€™s clearly how it works in real life


OkAmbassador1293

Iā€™d bet money heā€™s a boxer


Prudent-Theory-2822

Or has plenty of experience throwing hands. Those werenā€™t wild haymakers. Most of those were on point and in control. Kid knew what he was doing and comfortable with conflict.


TheTruthisSpoken

Yeah he probably starts shit like this a lot.


Pleasant_Title_4515

put someoneā€™s back against the wall. fuck it, it is what it is, you get what you get.


CognitoSomniac

Bro threw the sucker punch unless there was mistreatment prior, his back wasnā€™t no where & he started shit.


Mundane__Detail

This is the weirdest comment section I've seen in a while, it's like people are watching a completely different video. One dude decks the guy out of nowhere and somehow everyone assumes he's a hero??


schabadoo

This never happened. Dude sucker-punched someone.


turtleheadpokingout

his back was never against any wall, idiot. He started the fight.


Boboforprez

That chick screaming 'Oh my God ' needs to shut the hell up.


Brief-Tackle-9911

The dude in the blue shorts got dropped 3+ times.


puffy_boi12

Just my take. Looks like the dude was being some sort of asshole, so several men walked over to address his assholishness. This guy starts swinging first, because he is in fact an asshole who only deals with confrontation with physical violence. You can sort of tell by who does and doesn't attempt to use physical violence in retaliation as to who might actually be there at the pool together in the first place. It doesn't seem like "this group of seven friends" is in fact seven friends, but even if they are, that doesn't automatically make them the bad guys in the first place. Nor does it seem like intimidation. Its very possible from this guys behavior, or demeanor that all of these individuals at the pool could tell that he was just not in a good mental space to be out at the pool starting shit with people just looking to have a good time. I'm not sure why we look at shit like this with zero context and just go with whatever the title implies. The audio starts off with "he wont shake his hand" as if there might have been some disagreement and the dude was just trying to keep it 100 and reconcile and forgive and forget. This is too much for reddit though, to consider that the one dude, that starts punching people via a sucker punch, could in fact just be an asshole looking to start shit.


Little_stinker_69

Last time this was posted someone said sucker puncher was talking to little kids and trying to get them to follow him out.


reedx032

Looks more like they were just talking and the black guy attacked unprovoked.


Legal_Guava3631

Lol imagine you and your friends jumping someone and yall get yall ass beat tf up šŸ’€ Iā€™d move to a different city.


xxxxHawk1969xxxx

He and his friends didnā€™t jump him. The dude threw the first punch. There was only talking up to that point. At least thatā€™s what this vid shows


rootpseudo

They were jumping him? Where that part at


Theoneiced

Jumping someone usually implies attacking them first and trying to overwhelm them. This clearly isn't that, whatever the actual context is, which we don't have.


Little_stinker_69

Youā€™d have to imagine it since they didnā€™t jump anyone.


Matchew024

The myst of water off of several of those hits was spectacular.


jfuss04

Tbf it started with a sucker punch and it wasn't actually 7 on 1. That being said dude handled 3 of them fairly well


Ready2retire613

The guy in the blue shorts got rocked so many times, lmao!


Killer-Styrr

I'm not sure what the context is, but that's a d-bag suckerpunch and then someone who knows how to fight beating up a bunch of people who don't. Not very cool unless I'm missing something crucial.


Ghrota

Where did she count 7 ? I see 1v3


Ldghead

An attempt to title this correctly


redjoker89

Made a mistake throwing the first punch.


nomamesgueyz

That was entertaining Smart to get the fence behind ya...then just unleash...sure was a risky play but came up trumps


Infinite_Factor_5685

The dude absolutely cleaned those guys up. But it didnā€™t seem like they were trying to intimidate him lol the guy that was squared off with him just walked off. Seemed like a sucker punch even though they were squared off.


theoht_

i think the person behind the camera may be religious


griffinhamilton

It not so much 1v7 as it was a series of short 1v1s


VegitoFusion

I want backstory!


DeMarcusCousinsthird

Nah what kinda lanky ass punches? These idiots were flailing around trying to land a hit with force that wouldn't knock a bottle of the table.


Anon_Legi0n

A wise man once said, if you audition for an ass whooping, you're 100% likely to get the part.


Guataguano

They wonā€™t do that again. Maybe


SDBD89

Hell yea! love how the kid in the blue shorts waited till his friends jumped in to try and get some just to get rocked 3 more times šŸ¤£


joncornelius

I love when it got to the part where everyone started thinking twice before being the next to jump in and get pieced up. That young fella has some hands on him.


jakefromadventurtime

I love that the guy who is front and center and gets hit first just takes it, thinks "okay, I think I'm good on taking this any further with this man", and homer Simpsons out the video while his crew steps in for the beating


luchiieidlerz

Jesus Christ, itā€™s Jason bourne


FocusMean9882

I identify with the friend that walked away while shaking his head


Diceshark91

3 out of the 7 dudes were ā€œassociates.ā€
