    When you see a fight, don't be that ****** hole standing there with your phone taking a video of it, call the cops.

    In this video we have "Beetle" who should be told by the guy who created the youtube video to do the right thing, call the cops, get them involved immediately, not stand there looking stupid.

    ....and I agree too. If anyone should have called the cops, it was one or both of the guys involved. That would be the legal thing to do in a dispute. Call the cops & let them work it out.

    However, its quite obvious that these two wanted to settle this the old fashion way. Last one standing is the winner. Strongest bull gets the cow.

    Call the cops and it'll take hours to figure out who's right, or even if anybody is the winner.
    Good old fashion butt whoopin & in a minute or two, everyone walks away with an answer.

    Too many cameras around now days, before you start throwing blows on the fuel island, you better ask yourself, is this worth losing my job over?

    Makes me wonder sometimes how much of this crap is staged. People can make good money on you tube and will do anything to boost views. Buy a couple truck stop tweekers some malts or enough to get an 8 ball and have them fight in a fuel island. One thing i noticed is the interviewee also always has a “channel”

    Here’s a thought! Mind your own business. It doesn’t concern you. Keep walking

    Mom always said, "believe half of what you hear, and none of what you see". I disagree, however, this was fake. Peoples limits have been reached long ago, and if they get a chance to vent that anger, it usually escalates until somebody "wins". I think people take these videos to show how the world is melting down. Best place for that today, a truck stop.There have always been fights in truck stops, just never filmed.

    Yell you're going to call the cops, if they don't stop, then call them. If they're just yelling, or posturing you can try and intervene, but otherwise stay out of it. Video can be helpful if things go south.
