Let’s start with a few basics.

First, a thank-you to the steady-handed camera person who appears to have the latest iPhone.

What clarity, what grace under pressure.

Exactly the cinematographic oversight needed to present this tale of street combat.

Now on to the show…

Act I: “Ladies, like!”

In a shocking development, this all appears to start because of a couple unruly ladies.

There are two women of interest here.

Now, Lady #1 seems to be asking for ID.

It may be that the marine holding the phone was filming her?

Not entirely sure, but that’s a bold move.

What incendiary words prompted him to swing on that Marine, we’ll probably never know.

Seems like a very silly idea given that he’s surrounded by an entire battalion of fellow Marines.

Perhaps because they’re Marines?

Perhaps because they’re in dress blues?

The entire group seems to respond with an attempt to deescalate.

“Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.”

Itseemslike things could have gone quietly into that good night, and cooler headsjust mighthave prevailed.

Alas…

Act III: “Scooter Brawlin'”

White shirt clearly believes in his cause.

Now, they’re off rumblin', tumblin', and trying to avoid an improperly-docked scooter.

That handlebar could prove devastating to an unsuspecting rectum.

Of course, moments later, he is descended upon as now the numerical advantage starts to factor.

Truly the nightlife epicenter of the city, just a block from Joe Rogan’s Comedy Mothership.

If you’ve been to this street, you know it’s hell on earth.

There are legitimate police blockades on every other corner or so.

Of course the star here is this guy:

“USA!

This guy has been waiting his entire life for this moment.

Gigantic wet stain on his sweater?

He’s here for America and so are we all.

Of course in the background, you’ve got lady #2 claiming she did nothing wrong:

Classic.

It may be unfair but it certainly seems like she deserves a LOT of the blame.

Well played, lady #2.

If you thought this scene couldn’t get any more American, you don’t know Texas:

Horses!

An entire herd, at that!

Don’t mess with Texas indeed.
