Not my circus, not my monkeys...

Even more remarkable was that he didn't even care to tape the fight like 99.9% of people these days would have done, probably saying to himself, "Oh no, you guys are not gonna interrupt my reading SIGforum".

Maybe he had "Eye of the Tiger" playing in his earbuds?

What 911Boss said. In a similar situation at a strip joint in SE DC early 80's. Had a corner spot at the bar. Fight started over some stupid shit. Cute as hell bartender came over by me when drinks started flying. She grabbed me, and of course I grabbed her. Didn't know her at all. I was just the big quite guy at the end of the bar who didn't move. Got me laid the next night.

A number of years ago, at a local gun show that had a food court, I was eating my barbecue sandwiches when another man came to talk with some friends at another table. He was showing off his 1911 pistol when it went off, the bullet hit the ground under the table between us and bounced over my head, ricocheting around and eventually coming to rest about 10 feet from me. He was, of course, immediately mobbed by security personnel. I examined myself for any new holes, and, finding none, just resumed eating.

Big Town in Mesquite, if I remember correctly?

Guy observed the situation and saw no threat to himself.

I Think he is like me; old fart, veteran, carrying.

When Skippy skipped over into the skirmish you knew it wasn't going to get real....

They fight like girls.

Yep. (The sandwiches were very good. I don't think they still have them there--haven't been recently.)

Sort of. I liked the girls fight back in the late 1950s down by the swimming pool. Girls fight over stupid shit, too. This one was over one of them looking at the others "guy". It went on for a fair amount of time, with them doing their best to tear the clothes off each other. I approved. Ended with neither having a top or bra on. That was the best part, and the very best fight I'd ever seen before or since. Both were crying their eyes out and screaming aat each other. From that perspective, the fight on the video was different.

For whatever reason, girls don't want to use closed fists. Could be they don't know how. At least most girls. A buddy of mine was fat. Fattest some-bitch I've ever known. He probably went 500, give or take depending on when he ate last. Anyway some guy was giving him way too much shit over his weight. Then he hit my friend. The friend waded right into him, got hold and both fell down. Then he started rolling back and forth. Before you knew it, arms and legs started getting rolled on and bent out of shape. That was all the girlfriend could put up with. She walked right over and punched my buddy! He wasn't amused and told her that if she acted like a man, he'd treat her like one. She got scared and pulled her now badly injured boyfriend out. After we doctored our friend as best we could and go him to his car, he confided she hit harder than any man he'd ever met. My guess is she had some brothers. I remembered what she looked like in case I ever met up with her again.

A lot of women have claws. Those fags in the video probably went home bragging about what bad asses they all were. On the good side, no one got seriously injured except for their ill founded pride.

At first, I was going to sarcastically suggest that those guys looked like they had too much estrogen raging through their systems. But then I remembered what estrogen can do when two women go at each other. I think those guys may just be too far removed from their safe space.
