"Two Gays" Beat Up "One Straight" in Metrocenter Brawl VIDEO

The above video was brought to our attention by our friend Pete at Scottsdale Arizona News. Apparently, it's of "two gays" beating up "one straight" at the Metrocenter Mall in west Phoenix.

The identities of those involved are unknown, and we'll (ahem) leave it up to you to pick out the "gays" from the "straight."

Two alleged gay guys beating up a "straight" aside, please note the woman in the video who apparently threw caution to the wind in order to get a baby a front-row seat for the brief brouhaha.

Enjoy.

Follow their cue? Funny when a strait person even says something bad about gays he/she is called hateful, bigot, mean and so on. Looks like maybe yall should practice what you preach!!! Hypocrites.
<body> In sixteen twenty-one, a big celebration of <a href="http://www.ukbarbourjacket.com/">barbour jacket</a> took place at Plymouth Colony in what is now the state of Massachusetts. European settlers known as the <a href="http://www.ukbarbourjacket.com/products_new.html?zenid=bef3e34fb7228b663736977368712aa7">barbour jackets</a> were celebrating their autumn harvest after a winter of struggle. Other colonists held earlier ceremonies of thanks. But the Pilgrims' three-day feast is often called the nation's first <a href="http://www.ukbarbourjacket.com/specials.html?zenid=bef3e34fb7228b663736977368712aa7">barbour outlet</a> Thanksgiving. President Abraham Lincoln declared a national holiday in eighteen sixty-three during the Civil War. Today families and friends gather on the fourth Thursday in November. And, thanks to the <a href="http://www.ukbarbourjacket.com/">barbour quilted jacket</a> United States Census Bureau, here are some facts about where their Thanksgiving meal comes from. The main dish is traditionally a turkey. About two-thirds of the nation's turkeys are produced in Minnesota and five other <a href="http://www.ukbarbourjacket.com/specials.html?zenid=bef3e34fb7228b663736977368712aa7">quilted barbour jacket</a> states. Producers are expected to raise two hundred forty-eight million birds this year, two percent more than last year. Popular side dishes include cranberries and sweet potatoes. Last year North Carolina <a href="http://www.ukbarbourjacket.com/products_new.html?zenid=bef3e34fb7228b663736977368712aa7">barbour sale</a> grew more sweet potatoes than any other state. Wisconsin is expected to be the top cranberry producer this year. People often finish the meal with pumpkin pie. Last year Illinois grew the most pumpkins. California, New York, Ohio and <a href="http://www.ukbarbourjacket.com/">barbour uk</a> were also major pumpkin producers. Thanksgiving is a big event, but buying a <a href="http://www.ukbarbourjacket.com/menswear-c-59.html?zenid=bef3e34fb7228b663736977368712aa7">barbour mens</a> traditional holiday meal can be a struggle for the poor. So charity groups often hold food drives to collect food for <a href="http://www.ukbarbourjacket.com/womenswear-c-66.html?zenid=bef3e34fb7228b663736977368712aa7">barbour ladies</a> low-income families. </body>
amanda, chill with the hate speech. you are not anonymous or autonomous.
I am appalled that swine would allow this video up with a final word of "enjoy". If this was 2 straight guys beating up a gay guy the community would be up in arms if the video was posted and "enjoy" was said. I am a straight long time reader and far from a homophobe. This video and comments by the author are unacceptable. I will be complaining tomorrow at the new times office..
Gabby Giffords is alive, moron. You say you would never murder anyone but you slaughter the English language every time you touch the keyboard.
Who is Jared Loughtner? I was comparing you to Jared Loughner. You are now claiming you are acting stupid? Let's see you step up your game. Act like you normally are. I'm betting there is no difference. You will continue to be bigoted, ignorant, psychopath who can't spell.
Hey ptcgaz...it's still "than"
you idiots ever think that maybe I am having fun, acting like you want me to act? None of you brainless bastards has ever though that maybe I am more then I seem. It's sort fun to troll the righties on here.
YPS sure seems to like to call people that. I am nothing like Jared Loughtner and I am not a murdering asshole. Nor am I a anti-social. Nor am I anything close to what YPS says, so comparing me to someone else because I am an atheist is bullshit.
SHUT The FUCK UP. I am nothing like a fucking whacked out libertarian-ish thinking right-winger that shot and killed a politician. I would never murder anyone. Since all you know about is what I say on-line could it be possible you are an idiot and mis-understanding what I say?
Well said, I for the first time actually "agree" with many of your posts on here. I'm just starting to see the true colors of some of these so called "leftists" on here. Which to me, is no different or better than the rabid far right.
I concur with your assessment of PTC. I must admit that I do find his posts generally amusing and actually look forward to some of the bizarre spontaneous (albeit typed) outbursts. I also get "visuals" of him with hypertensive red-faced, spittle flying, feet stomping, screaming fits (scaring the hell out of his pet feline and/or waking up his mother upstairs) just before he pounds away like the true keyboard warrior he is. I wonder how often he has to clean the high velocity spittle spatter from his screen?
Actually he was referring to guest23 as that. I don't know why you took it personally.
If truth be told, I am recognizing the patterns of antisocial behavior, lack of value of the sanctity of life and the threats to another human beings life because of their political views, stature and ill perceived notions that they have somehow wronged or hurt you personally. Those patterns you exhibit are similiar to those exhibited by Jared Loughner. He (like you) was a social leper who turned to the net late at night posting hatred while displaying a disjointed attitude towards a set or class of people. He too felt "wronged" by the actions, or inactions of a politician. There is one difference. He was previously a supporter of the Politician. I wont take the time needed to describe to you what that means or how it makes your reference to Loughner incorrect except to say he was not republican. His actions also have nothing to do with the Democratic party except the Politician he shot is one. He was a self proclaimed Atheist, however. His (and your) oddities are indicators. You may never act upon your ideas as he did, but you certainly show the pattern of behavior that leads up to such atrocities as the Tucson tragedy .
I'm clueless, eh? Well Einstein, I wasn't "making an argument" as much as I was making fun...of you. You are quite possibly the most ignorant person I have ever encountered. It is no wonder that you are 33 years old with nothing but a failed marriage and unemployment to show for it.
the hate crime was committed by the dude who got his ass beat, that's how. instant karma.
verbal assault is assault. It's never alright to assault someone, however it is proper to defend one's self in the event the individual is assaulted. self defense is not assault.
From just that short clip, hard to guess who is gay or straight. Well, ok, maybe one guess. Since thoughtful readers all likely denounce violence in any situation excluding self-defense, one has to wonder what transgression caused such an event in a busy shopping mall no less. The random smart remark leading to punches fight is one thing after the bars close and different groups of people walking to cars encounter each other, but in a busy shopping mall with so many people around it would seem most people would have more self-control to 1) refrain from instigating fight and 2) exchange words but not actually fight. So much for my theories there, lol. If people must fight, then I would rather see guys throw punches, but walk away with a bruised ego and black eye rather than one party pull out a gun and just start shooting because someone looked cross-eyed at someone else. But as disturbing as the lack of self-control by the people mixing it up is that the crowd gathered was significant for a mall which may mean they were slapping and kicking for a few minutes before someone started recording. Except for a few women trying to break it up, there was way too much cheering and not enough intervening to stop the nonsense. Granted maybe most wouldn't jump into the mix without knowing any of the parties and end up getting punched, but a few women were trying to calm them down. And where is this mall that a security guard wasn't at the disturbance within 30 seconds?
"I imagine you are proud to be straight because you have not accomplished much else in life to be proud of." I'm trying to figure out your logical fallacy here. So what you are implying is that if someone was born to be straight and they are proud of it, that they haven't "accomplished much else in life"? So what if I say I'm proud to be a Native American, does that mean I haven't "accomplished" anything in life? Your logic doesn't make any sense. I believe what the other person is saying is that he's simply glad he is not gay. Yet, you go on to say they are not productive in life because of it. I am a Native American and yes, I too am "proud" to be straight. And yes I have "accomplished" the things I wanted in life, Probably more so than you have in yours.
fuck off. Is that really the only argument you can make? you "native" people are really clueless to the ways of the world aren't you?
you really need to do some research, esp about Mother Theresa.
apparently YPS feels the need to compare me to a right-wing whack job all the time, that's their new favorite thing to do.
"gay" is a joke. You weren't "born that way". You followed your luny feelings and sold out your soul to a lie. You "decided" to believe the lie because it's "convenient."The whole "gay rights" thing is a bunch of BS. "Gays" don't have rights; people do.
Dude, it's Metrocenter... not just any mall where the HoiPoloi congregate, but one of the 'classiest' in the valley. Your expexctations are unreasonable.
put forth violence on me and i will put forth a slug to your dome.
Ditto Eleanor!
Jared Loughner? Wtf? Btw....Happy New Year, YPS.
You're*
You are Ralph Machio? I thought you had died! I am a big fan! Knowing your gay brings a new twist to your relationship with pony boy as well as the phrase "wax on, wax off!"
You think that one joke forwarded on Office email constitutes a rampant culture of bigotry and are appalled by it. In turn, I think that anyone who publically names a list of people and expresses a desire to shoot those people in the head "Jared Loughner style" is disgusting and I am appalled by it. Which scenario is more shocking to the system and less acceptable socially? You are in serious need of some professional help. At least you are coming out and embracing your homosexuality. That should ease some of the mental strain you have been burdening yourself with.
Jesus Christ, Ghandi, Martin Luther King, and Mother Theresa would all disagree.
So it's ok to assault someone, even to the point of serious physical injury if they call you names? That is an interesting perspective. Is this also one of your "dream fantasies", jared Loughner?
Those two flat chested girls hit like sissies.
Chuck, you have four fathers? That must have been some kinda party...
The video looked a bit like "The Mad Adventures of Prancer, Dancer and Blitzen".
Dude in the grey hits and kicks like a girl.
Funny how you have been guilty of using bigoted sexist comments in the past. Seems my accusations of a culture of racsim in the mc so is being supported by the feds now. You still swearing no racist cartoon.s were distributed within the mcso intranet?
This is why I dont go to malls anymore.... Notice the crowd in the background... Filled with hipsters, thugs, uneducated people, impulse thinkers, peasants class, ugh. So much for the education system. I mean seriously take a good look at that crowd...and pause the video. My point exactry... Where's all of the engineers, smart civilized people, designers... NOPE, chuck testa. our four fathers are spinning in their graves :(
Welcome to the real world. Bullies didnt stop picking on me in grade school until i put forth some violence on their ass. Some men and women do not understand anything else and thus it is occasionally necessary. Was saddam hussien or ghadafi going to listen to words or violence. Unfortunately it is still the way of the world as much as i dont care for it.
Heh, if the nimrod called them both derogatory sexist names they both had reason to show the guy that his stereotypes and voicing them can get one in hot water. It also seemed that vitis one of the gay guys took the majority of the initiative and ass kicking and his friend threw in a couple licks because the guy damn well deserved it. If i was walking in public with a friend and someone started verbally assaulting both of us they deserve everything they get short of permanent physical injury imho and if it does result in such they shouldnt have opened their bigoted mouth.
blacks, what do u expect
It was noble that several black girls stepped in to try to stop the fight, particularly the two girls who seemed to put themselves in harm's way to do so. Generally, bravery is expected only of males and only they are condemned for failing to possess it. Yet these girls stepped up and exhibited it anyway. I applaud them.
I am a gay male and I beat the shit out of a guy who tried to take my car with a belt...I was running after him beating that ass with my belt while he jumped over the hoods of cars and ran like a coward after he followed me out of a gay bar in Austin, Tx and called me a fag.....he picked the wrong fag lol. We are men and have the fight or flight instinct and some of us choose to fight and other decide to turn the other cheek...either way the guy i beat with my belt was never taught respect and well I took the liberty of showing what his parent should have done. But they were probably pieces of shit as well so meh....I dont advocate violence just self defense and respect to our fellow man.
Excellent link, Anonymous, and so true !
And you do think your comment is funny, don't you?
Look, Mary, their "lifestyle" is none of your business, as long as they don't cross over into your very own territory. Is that so hard to understand and accept? Sorry, but I think you do present yourself as a "homophobe" !
Bingooooo, Guest23 , Bingooooo !
Great post, Guest23, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it!
Why would anyone give a shit whether you approve of their "lifestyle" or not?
I just want to ask one more thing. If one disagrees with another's gay lifestyle, why the term "homophobe"? Is anyone supposed to be afraid of gay people? And if so, why? It's not like they are going to end up the majority via procreating. One simply doesn't agree with the lifestyle, no more than they agree with other lifestyles. Should they carry some sort of phobic title as well?
Why would this be a video to "enjoy"? Would it be a video to enjoy if it were two "straight" men beating up one "gay" man?
This is just as wrong as anyone two people beating up another. I hope the homosexuals that see this recognize the hypocrisy of cheering this kind of behavior on, no matter what was said.
I agree.
Since you are a self proclaimed "spelling nazi" and you posess a far superior intellect to those around you due to the exceptional education you received outside the State of Arizona (to include some college courses) you obviously recognize your spelling error when substituting then for than!
or on you.. You do look cute.. http://www.politicususa.com/en/proof-that-homophobia-is-associated-with-homosexual-arousal
I would run.they might want to play in my assess holllleeee and get shittttttte on a stick to eat. Sickoooo freakkkssss.
I never really thought about it liek that before. that makes a lot of sense dude. www.Total-Privacy dot US
This is stupid....this just gives the rest of us a bad name. Now we are no better than the bigots we complain about.
What if the gay person calls the straight person a "breeder"?
Let them know where you will be and what you look like and are wearing... I am sure a few would be glad to show up to hear you call them fruit tarts in person. Not all gays are effiminate and many quite ripped, knowledgeable about fighting and dont take any shit from beer swilling, potbellied blowhards like yourself. It is hilarious when people like this are so proud to advertise what morons they are.
LMAO they called that a fight????? really?? btw thanks for the link.
we can start with the ignorant masses in AZ.
funny but the TOS seems to include any video that doesnt have lame ass gay music in it.
oh really, then why do you call me stupid and ignorant, when I probably know more about laws (esp ones in other states then you do) and you make ignorant statements that GO against what the Constitution says.
I will say you are not the sharpest pencil in the box esp. When calling others bigots and sexist and then going on to make sexually bigot'ed comments yourself. As to what some people may "enjoy" about this... the incongruity and irony of the outcome of the situation, the busting of stereotypes, and the underdog getting the upperhand. I got a chuckle out of the headline much like i got a chuckle when some slimeball tried to mug me because I may look like an easy target weighing in at 150lbs but am not after many years of martial arts practice, and the assailant got his ass handed backto him. I find that those that throw around terms like "faggot" often are intellectually stunted and quite often are not as tough as the words they use much like the straight guy who got his ass beat in this story. I imagine you are proud to be straight because you have not accomplished much else in life to be proud of.
It's ok to disagree.
It's still available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWjsAGUbaLU&feature=related
I sense a lot of "anger" coming from you, no matter how rational you try to be. And no, its never my "intention" to hurt your pent up inner feelings. Because I already know what comebacks you are capable of. Even when you are one of the most annoying posters in these very threads. My first comment doesn't give you any hint of the kind of person I truly am. Those are your own personal assumptions. And personally, I don't hold anything against gay people. I just had to see what kind of response I'm gonna get from the dislikes of you. Knowing how rabidly "liberal" you are.
Hate crime enhancement requires proof the assailants used derogatory words expressing intentions of hate. If a strait person assaults a gay person and calls him a "faggot", then it is considered a hate crime; while a gay person can assault a strait person, call him strait and is is simple assault.
YPS, I knew you would know that was me.......you are a smart one but sometimes I truly disagree with you. And yes, I am human and have my moments when I don't want to contain my anger. Thanks for the laugh as you often make me do.
"...the words you choose say a lot about you." Truer words couldn't be said. Thanks for sharing "On Your Fucking Ass Today YPS" thanks for sharing.
might as well be :(
I don't care what you or anybody else call gay people. That is your choice and the words you choose say a lot about you. I don't understand why you call me a sexist feminist pig but I know that isn't me and you don't hurt my feelings in anyway if that is your intention.
So Metrocenter is in Scottsdale now?
come at me fruittarts.......
It's always comforting to see people trying to break up a fight, right? You never see it. Uncivilized psychopaths with no sense of morality, right and wrong or empathy for anyone besides themselves. This planet needs a good cleansing.
haha already removed. I guess the christian homophobes (religious hypocrites) did what they do best and complained youtube's ears off.
The one guy was hitting his friend in the back at first, haha. was that lip gloss flying out of the 'straight' pasty legged dudes pants? Overall I'd rate this fight as pretty gay.
yeah lets all turn to violence to solve our hurt feelings, that makes all the sense in the world, so you go encourage YOUR gay community to act in violence and let the rest of the gay community continue to fight for equality in a peaceful manor...
I'll bet the "victim" will rush to identify himself. Especially after getting his butt whupped by a guy who DIDN'T EVEN PUT DOWN HIS PURSE TO DO IT.
I'm proud to be "straight" and it will remain so for the rest of my life. But seriously, what is there to "enjoy", in watching couple of faggots beating up a local bigot? Is there any other cool news to report today? Is that sexist feminist pig named Eleanor gonna admonish me for saying "faggot"?
Come on James, I'm sure there are other more news worthy stories than this.
Supposedly Phoenix PD has officers there at a sub-station. Where the F were they?
And like the pussies you are, it will take two of you to do it. BTW, how is this not a hate crime?
This is the future, straight folks. We've had enough. As you can see, when you spit fighting words at us, we WILL fuck you up. I encourage all gay citizens to follow their cue.
