While many of us might have the urge to punch someone in the face sometimes, living in a civilized society means we have to hold back. That’s why the video for this story is age-restricted.

But we do tend to forgive those who fight back while they’re being attacked. And, we dare say, it’s sometimes hard not to cheer them on just a little for fighting off the “bad guys.”

In 2015, yet another story of a regular citizen with boxing skills hit the web when two muggers were knocked to the ground unexpectedly by one surly old man.

If we’re to trust the account that posted the video – a video that has now been viewed over a quarter of a million times – it appears that two would-be thieves approach an older man in a parking lot at an undisclosed location looking to “mug” him.

The supposed target stands in a parking lot with his arms crossed as an angry-looking stranger approaches him and appears to yell in his face.

Since it appears to be security footage, it’s not entirely clear what’s going on.

The alleged mugger gets in his face and suddenly we can see an accomplice in the foreground. As the second alleged attacker steps closer to the curb, they appear to have the man in the black shirt in a tough position. It’s unclear what they’re asking for, but it is clear that he’s not about to give it up.

As the conversation appears to take a turn for the more sinister, the cross-armed man decides enough is enough.

A car in the parking lot backs away as the original confronter gets more animated.

Then, suddenly, he says something very wrong.

And the man in the black shirt clocks him in the face, making him stumble backward.

The car continues to back away as the second man steps off the curb and yet a third man appears in his place.

It looks like this is going to be more than a simple mugging. It’s 3 on 1!

Believe it or not, this does not appear to be a problem for our alleged victim. He clocks the second man in the face as well, knocking him straight to the ground.

Ouch!

Despite getting a full swing in the first time, the second assailant simply wasn’t ready for that punch.

Now, the first man decides to fight back as the third man calmly steps off the curb.

With one assailant down, the man in the black shirt hits the original assailant in the face again and again, knocking him to the ground.

Anyone who knows what’s good for them would be headed out of that parking lot at this point.

The third man simply stands there over the two fallen men as a FOURTH appears. Now we don’t know who’s who. Are these all “bad guys”?

One thing is for sure – these new guys certainly smarter than the two laying on the ground since they don’t attempt to confront the man who clearly has some boxing skills up his sleeve.

All 4 men look pretty darn ashamed of themselves as their alleged “victim” lays into them (verbally, this time).

The two men standing have their arms crossed or in their pockets as if to say “we’re not getting involved” while still hovering over their comrades. Those comrades, meanwhile, are still on the ground as one looks on stunned and the other appears to recoil in shame at the words being spewed at him.

The truth is, we don’t know what happened here or who was on the “right” side. But what we do know is that this guy can take 4 ill-prepared youngsters in a parking lot anytime he wants!
