Baywalk ruling causes fight caught on tape by candidate Leonard Schmiege

[fcartwr1]

Good thing some Black people where there to break up those savages.

[jct3636]

then they wonder why we call them nazis

[rdbpratt]

Most all old people just need to die.

[habbs27]

that shithead with the yellow shirt attacked him and the other guy gets handcuffed what a democracy america the free my ass its just like any other place free for the dick suckers

[mustange550]

Geeze back off the old man its not like he had a gun..

[sbaust53]

The old gezzer in the yellow gay shirt clearly started it by going after the other guy. The old yellow fart is damn lucky because if they wouldnt have been in a court room with all those cops there to protect his 65 year old chickin azz. Well he would have had his butt handed to him by the other old man. Hey i'm 65? You old pusspad. You'll be lucky if you arnt sued. the cops did a horrible job on this fight. Hell they let the guy who started it go, and damn near broke the shoulder of the oldfart

[71groundpndr]

All I can say, it is caught on camera. Sorry, old guy. You are the one with the assault charge.

[sprfly12]

Stupid fucking cops

[poodtang1]

Hope the cops get their asses suid off.

[biga4twenty]

messed how the guy who started the altercation is walking around giving peaple pat the backs

[71groundpndr]

@biga4twenty

I agree, that guy jumped up and started the fight. Then he gets away with it. LOL

He says he is older, so he plays the old man card....what a joke!!!!

[Stalicone]

2 old fucks rolling around on the floor...I can smell the urine and vitalis from here....

[MrBgallo]

its obious the cops got it very wrong and the guy in the yellow should now be arrested after they see the vid .

here in ireland they do it differently they kick the shit out of both of ya and send ya home saves tax payers dishing out

[raedwulfone]

typical, they arrest the guy that was attacked!!

[astroboomboy]

Bunch of stupid pink hillbillies!

[roninmediaoutlet]

Wow. I was gonna ask why the dude int he yellow shirt wasn't arrested. At 0:58 that question is answered. "Police officer! I'm a police officer!"

New question: why wasn't the 'police officer' arrested for assault, captured on camera? Answer: good ole' boys club.

[matrixofdeath]

that bitch was just repeating so annoying stfu or i kill u^^

[squirrelwalk74]

i am just so disappointed what i saw in this video! police just failed big time!

[rebelnomo]

Apparently the fuckhead in the yellow shirt who started that shit is the police chief or his brother or some shit.

[1ballz08]

So what were the issues being discussed that set this thing off?

[TheForevereating]

Ignorant cops are an epidemic.

[rdbpratt]

@TheForevereating Beautiful quote!

[1nondescript1]

thats why cops get shot in stpete, sorry but thats just real talk

[rebelnomo]

@1nondescript1 Don't be sorry, the pigs never are.

[houtcalt]

LOL!  White people gone crazy.

[Cryoniczz11]

The guy in the yellow started it why did the guy in the red get in trouble

[MrSteMurph]

Pensioners gone wild!

[Thunderheadpros]

White people gone wild....

[gamejames313]

"THEN WHY DONT YA MOOOVE!!!" "Hey, why don't you eat shit" lol

[rundee05]

@gamejames313 lol.......,hahahhahah

[pointdexx]

see now you both have a broken hip.

[5981jpp]

Typical police. They can't do their job. Arrest the guy who is on top, not the guy who started it. The other guy started it completely and gets of scott free?

[fenix9885]

Stupid Tea Party

[atomic519]

yellow shirt should have been the one arrested, probably knows the judges and everyone working there so you know why he wasn't. Justice system is a joke.

[naykid42]

Why dont you move!

Why dont you eat shit!

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahaha IM STEALING THAT...GENIUS

[th0r90]

So sad that red guy wasn't that tough, would have been funny if he just broke his neck !

[MrHotforhoneys16]

its funny how that old fucking goof was the one that attacked first....and was quick to point out he is over 65....cause thats a felony...to that old guy i say....ur a fucking dink....and where i come from...you would have been put to sleep no matter how old u are.....just some words of advice....

[lolman77]

haha, too much mcdonalds to fight!

[jnperformance777]

That is outrageous that the other guy got nothing for what he did.

[818ification]

The guy in the yellow shirt started it and wanted to file against the guy on the ground.. What is this world coming too?

[slix1991]

funny

[TheDreamClaw]

There are some quite hot older men in this video....

[808Hea]

Haw kamon even the old hawaiin folks will kick your ass.

[straightfistpit]

Thats justic, the guy who gets up and attacks walks away free and this guy defending himself gets arrested. Fuck the System

[pingyg]

short guy didn't get arrested because he's sorry!!!

[naderchaser]

Now, would somebody please hit that shrill bitch that keeps screaming....even after it's long over? Good God.

[naderchaser]

Look at the guy in the yellow shirt put his arm up over the sheriff after it was broken up, just "cheezin" his ass off, like he's just a stand-up citizen that's all buddy-buddy with the law. Both these guys should'a sat in jail for a few hours, together, and maybe they could have cooled out and bought each other a beer afterwards. Interesting from a tactical standpoint, that both of them just grabbed....not a punch thrown. Not too efficient, really.

[terrybr1]

if his arms don't work....how did he grab ahold of that guy so quickly? One more thing.....why wasn't the other man handcuffed? 

[TheAntiV]

@terrybr1

Because he wasn't being a disrupting douche?

[jukio02]

teh guy in the yellow started it, hes the one that came up to ther other dude and attacked him

[ITZKANGMIKE]

eh ehh ehh! hey hey hey hey hey.... hey hey hey HAY hey!

[BronyaCovooper]

Why would you arrest the guy that was attacked???????

[kegler27]

@BronyaCovooper he had to be arrested for putting his hands around the other guys throat.

[BronyaCovooper]

@kegler27 well, first off, are you just making some random comment or do you actually know anything about this situation? by the looks of your channel, youre just randomly leaving a comment....ofcourse he put his hands around the throat of the man that approaches him and reaches for his throat first

[kegler27]

@BronyaCovooper actually you dont need to have knowledge of about the situation. Its not rocket science. They both should have been arrested. But it was quite obvious the taller gentleman had a good grasp on the shorter guys throat. and so what if i leave random comments on what i view?? is there a rule that says you cant?? lol....wow the shorter guy reached for the other guys throat...well that must be an arrestable offence. LOL

[KROBB19]

"Why don't you eat shiit???" lmao. Classic.

[velveetaslingshot]

Ahhh Home Crap Home....St. Petersburg Florida.....dump yard of tired old northern trash nazis who move down here and immediately act like they run the show....

[TheBoyzonthehill]

that old guy with the white hair is a peice of shit!

[lillyboo92]

he hey hit em lol priceless



[CRMunir1]

The guy was in Handcuffs because it appeared to the PO's that the guy on top was still swinging and throwing punches when he shouldnt have been.. Its a Law thing, a Mutual Combat thing which is illegal in most places and times. In some places, a Picket Line would be held to a different standard..

[garyrusstye]

the guy that attacked first wanted to press charges cause he lost.. hahahahaha

[CRMunir1]

Mutual Combat,they walked to eachother, they were equally involved, the bigger guy ended up on top, he was cuffed. The other guy was calm and apologetic . Doesnt really matter who said what first..

[AlwaysListen2Tee]

@CRMunir1 It's not mutual if someone attacks you. Look at the video again. The minute someone lays there hands on you you have a right to protect yourself. Word exchange is ok

[CRMunir1]

@AlwaysListen2Tee What state are you in?? Mutual Combat.. They were both involved. You need to look at the video! Look at it again, carefully. Notice that the Red guy was walking out, then came back, problem 1. If you walk to hit me and i grab you and wind up on top of you that isnt defending myself, thats fighting. Defending myself is me not moving to you( like the red guy did) then a block and a punch type action as im backing away telling you to stop, but nope! They both were the problem.

[AlwaysListen2Tee]

@CRMunir1 I live in FL. 10 minutes from Baywalk. The guy walking back to talk shit to the other guy isnt breaking a law. Once the guy touched him he has a right to defend himself. He can talk as much as he wants....I hope I made that clear

[CRMunir1]

@AlwaysListen2Tee What you made clear is the either you are Not a Lawyer in which case you shouldnt even be talking about what self defence is or there are vast differences in Cali and FL Penal Codes.. Like i said, walking back to the guy is only an element, its not breaking anything. When the guy walked up to him and grabbed, punched, licked, whatever him, they faught each other; Willingly. He didnt back away trying to reflect the attack. Thats Mutual Combat!!! Hope you learned something! Not!

[AlwaysListen2Tee]

@CRMunir1 Umm you need to learn floridas law. That is self defense. He was attcked he didnt do the attack. In Florida he could have shot him for that and may have been justified. Hope you learned something...if not then look it up. I live close to baywalk

[CRMunir1]

@AlwaysListen2Tee Umm, i need to learn FL's law? Are you sure about that?? The guy I think should have been handcuffed was handcuffed!! Looks like i know what im talking about already. What i learned here is emotions and opinions do not mean anything!! If you were right the video would be different. The guy was cuffed cause he wasnt innocent. Put your emotions aside and look at the video, Closely and watch the demeanor of Both Guys afterwards and rememeber those are FL police officers..

[Jazzybty]

LMAO

[sirbobpearce]

So, the guy who struck the first blow got to walk away, but the partially paralyzed guy got handcuffed? sounds fair to me!

[drudogg84]

nice hawaiian shirt

[pshinspections]

4:07 This is not a democracy.

History should be a required course for politicians.

[pshinspections]

"Why dont you move?"

Spoken by someone who doesnt need to work for a living anymore.

Idiot fucktard. No wonder he has no family and no care about the generations to follow him.

Someone revoke his citizenship and air-drop him in Haiti.

[bigbrofights]

BEST PAR:

"St. Petersburg city of fascist."

"Why don't you move!"

"Hey, why don't you eat shit!"

[scrantonsux]

WoW this is better than Scranton City Council !!!!!!!

[emilyelizabeth1989]

his arm doesnt work!

[digleman1]

im from st.pete and that vote was some mager B.S.

[bastardchildofmary]

I guess in st petersburg you don't have the right to defend yourselves either. cops all over and they arrest the guy that was attacked because he was against the outcome.

[TheAntiV]

@bastardchildofmary

More like being a disrupting douchebag.

[Devaughdric]

Does anyone notice that the other guy who started the fiht was not arrested at all?

[Gulfporter]

Arguably. Some people would say that the man who said "eat shit" initiated the attack.

[pshinspections]

No, the man who stood and charged the other guy already standing is to be charged with assault and battery. Both should be charged with disorderly conduct, since both were willing participants.

[Gulfporter]

I think it would have been more fun and insulting to have refused to charge either one of them; a sort of "Aw, aren't the geezers cute?" thing.

As for the issue, the entire situation seems to have been overcome by event. The last few times I have driven past Baywalk on Friday or Saturday evening, there were no protesters, no customers, no vagrants or loiterers.

[willia3r]

Why must everything in this country be privatize? Privatize healthcare, privatize sidewalks. Don't people realize that privatization only works when there is perfect competition?

I guess the Corporate Oligachy rules this country, eh?

[Gulfporter]

This isn't the same as privatizing prisons. The prisons belong to the state, were built by the state. Baywalk sidewalk belongs to Baywalk, always did.

[willia3r]

Umm.... you do realize that there are privated prisons in the U.S., right? Here are some of the Corporations that operate them:

1.Corrections Corporaion of America

2.GEO Group Inc.

3. Cornell Companies

And... surprise surprise! Many of these private prisons are operated in the south and west.

Also, the Baywalk sidewalk belongs to the corporations now. The greedy politicians & their jello-spined backers of St. Petersburg, Florida certainly made sure of that.

[Gulfporter]

One has nothing to do with the other.

The reason that Baywalk is the target of the protests has passed.

[willia3r]

"One has nothing to do with the other."

I humbly disagree with you. So many people in this country are wrapped up in this notion of "privatization" as an end-all-be-all. It almost seems to me that privatizing is really just a backdoor way of denying people their rights.

How do you take something that was previously subsidzed with tax-payer dollars & just give it away? I find that notion to be very unconscionable & just another sign of how we Americans always seem to mistreat each other.

[willia3r]

When Prisons are privatized, resources are decreased with the result that people end up suffering for murderers(for whom I have ZERO sympathy) & Marijuana users(who only harm themselves NOT society, for whom I have GREAT sympathy).

When the sidewalks are Privatized, the effect is that the businesses who may indulge in abuses of human liberties may be allowed to do so without protest, protesting being one of America's greatest virtues.

In both cases privatization is leading to human harm.

[The1Comedian]

LOL great the victim goes to jail on tape.

[newdarnaccount]

This video does not make it as clear as the Young Turks video. But if someone were advancing toward me, I'd have done the same thing. I think most people would have. It also makes it clear that the police very much wanted to ignore the conduct of the coucilman's brother.

Sad fact: no one distinguished himself for reasonable conduct in this incident.

[Tai1gate]

Sad day for democracy? Just because the vote didn't swing your way don't blame democracy. Plus this council is a republic, not a democracy.

[veryunseemly]

Nice how the police arrested the guy who was attacked, and let the attacker leave free.

[newdarnaccount]

I hit something and got away from the video I was watching and accidently came back to this one. But there's another video on this channel that shows both men did end up being cuffed and stuffed. But, as I said, the police didn't really want to cuff and stuff the guy in yellow.

[iamericm]

The guy who told the other guy to "eat shit" was probably arrested due to "fighting words," although that will have to be decided in court.

Regardless the guy in yellow should have been arrested.

[derwin24]

Why did they only arrest the guy who got attacked? What about the attacker?

[kaotic133]

Attacker is taking the business side, defender took the free speech side. Who do you think the police work for?

[BOBAMAMONKEY]

This is why coordinated assassinations are looking better every day as a tool for democracy.

[Battleloser]

I'm going to rape you to death and do the same to your family.

[Ecksntrick8]

Only pussies..

[waveoflight]

That attitude will destroy the country.

[Ecksntrick8]

Apology accepted.

[populistdriven]

you lost my vote Leonard for not standing up for the guy in the red shirt who got attacked by security for doing nothing but defending himself

[BOBAMAMONKEY]

yeah- the only thing that made him different was he broke the decorum of the proceedings.. so they wanted to give him some payback.

[cubeloid]

the assault was obviously commited by the short fellow who ran up and attacked the other guy. why didnt he get arrested?

[bayougrande]

They didn't arrest the other guy, because he was pro-fascist.

[Galastin]

@cubeloid He eventually did get arrested after police viewed video

[Jazzybty]

@cubeloid Right they are wrong for that...the other guy should have got arrested!

[KeithGraham1]

@cubeloid cause people are fucking retarded and almost every one in the world deserves to be murdered in cold blood

[james6661231]

@cubeloid Because society is fucking retarded.

[ERICCALIF]

How ridiculous. So glad they passed this now I don't have to be molested by the uhhurus or whatever the hell they are called when I want to see a movie. These damn people take on causes like supporting a kid that aimed a gun at a cop during a party and gets shot for it - cop was right in shooting him.

[dablommer]

Oh man, you were right in the middle of that...
