the video:
I see an altercation (not clear who started it)
security guard falls/gets pushed down 1st time
he gets back up and rushes the skateboarders
then he gets pushed/ hit/ falls down 2nd time and appears to hit his head, stops moving
anybody see anything different?
I re-watched it today and that's what I see as well. Well he got punched the first time he fell, maybe trying to get back up? Otherwise yeah. He got up rushed em, got hit, fell and hit head and that's what effed him up was the concrete.
I have seen much worse beatdowns at punk shows in the 80's, I think the issue is he hit his head on the concrete.
Some FSU dude knocked someone out with one punch, guy fell hit head on concrete and FSU dude got convicted of murder. If I remember correctly that is.
Maybe someone should take still frames of the skateboard being violently flung towards the right side of his head where moments later he falls backwards and doesn't try to break his fall or move because he's out cold before he falls down. Notice how the picture after his surgery it was the right side of his brain and skull that were removed which is the direction the board was coming towards. The dude with khakis, and a black hoody with a white t shirt hanging below the hoodie ran towards the scuffle with his board, punched him on the ground, swung his board at his head, and then punched him one more time before he fell over and his crew was holding him back.
I've been googling on the subject of head and brain injury and a Traumatic Brain Injury can be caused by a fall, but I'm not buying it based off of the victim's injury that it was only caused by falling back and hitting his head. I think it was a combination of punches, the board, and falling backwards. Falling abruptly and hitting your head happens to people everyday, just think of people slipping on ice. They don't have to be rushed to the hospital, induced into a coma, and have their skull removed to remove parts of their brain. Instead they have a bump on the head and a concussion, usually. I actually completely forgot I slipped and fell on my head onto concrete when I was maybe 5 and I just threw up everywhere and had a concussion. I'm sure there are other posters on here that have also hit their head and ended up being completely fine.
