The video was uploaded by Crime Net, where two visibly old men had a verbal argument, and then chose to throw their punches on each other’s chin. The caption read, “Always some shenanigans happening at a corner store.” The video literally starts with one man standing close to another man’s face, shouting, “Hit me in my damn jaw.” The other person without waiting swings at the old man standing in front of him.
The punch connects perfectly, sending the other man crashing to the ground. He scrambles up, dusting himself off, and yells, “Hold up, I’m getting up!” The guy recording erupts in hysterical laughter behind the camera. Unfazed, the downed man stands tall and declares, “You hit me! Now I’m gonna hit you!” He retaliates with a clean gut punch. A right hook to the face follows, dropping the first attacker flat. He stays down, while the other man yells, “B**ch, I’m not playing with you man. What else you want?”
This video garnered different responses and reached a lot of viewers as well.
