Twitter is well known for having some of the most outrageous pages that share even more outrageous videos and news on it. While fights and street scraps are hugely popular, recently a video shared by Daily Loud showed how the Twitter world can make almost anything viral. In the clip shared by the hip-hop news outlet, an individual, which the caption claimed to be a thief, got whipped by a belt as a group of men held him. Interestingly, UFC middleweight Derek Brunson was among the people who found the video hilarious and tweeted about it.
While the fighter found it quite funny, many in the tweets felt the thrashing was not necessary. Some claimed that calling the police would have been a better idea, while another group felt that the crowd was right in teaching the culprit a lesson. The viral clip showed an alleged thief being whipped with a belt by one individual while another three held him.
