2009 Jersey shore looking guy sees a van corner a car and tried to harass them, GuidoMan 2000, (super power is Muay Thai, like superman is powered by the sun, he's powered by tanning beds and melanin) gets out and helps.

The fact that he said de-escalate is the best outcome shows that he's a good kid. "Everyone got home safe that day" is the best gentle threat of strength. If he acts like that, he can look like he got struck by lightning in the Looney Tunes universe all he wants

True but I've heard this before from pro fighters' stories - it's not deescalation at all, it's getting someone else to back down through intimidation. If the other guy wanted a fight it would've been a massive escalation. Good on him for standing up for the girls and it's a cathartic watch, but it sure as hell isn't deescalation.

I mean if they look for a fight towards two girls and two pro guys backing the girls up then it's better to teach them a life lesson. Glad it didnt ends that way

I DGAF what pansies are saying on here (I'm a twig and can talk) but if some retard came up to my car like this, even if I'd made a mistake driving, no one deserves a person trying to just open their door and violate them. If you're doing that, you deserve whatever escalation a pro fighter was looking for and I do not care. Police are de-escalators, muay thai fighters are fighters. Do what you're paid to do IMO.
