A security guard at a yeshiva in Brooklyn administered the proper fade to a man who had entered school grounds. The video of the pummeling has gone viral, but it only shows part of the story.
Reports CBS 2 News New York:
Shocking video captured a school guard in Midwood, Brooklyn hurling another man who entered a yeshiva while children were inside.
As CBS2’s Tony Aiello reported, the video has gone viral on the Internet. And while it may look bad for the security guard, students and the school’s headmaster say otherwise.
The video starts with a man yelling the N word at a security guard. The guard then forces the man up against the railing and punches him, and the guard repeats the racial slur in what seems to be angry disbelief.
The guard then dumps the man over the railing.
People on social media were quick to say the security guard went too far. The clips show him putting a man against a railing, administer three solid haymakers (that connected) and flipping his opponent over said railing like a rag doll. However, the headmaster of the Yeshivat Shaare Torah in Midwood believes security was within his rights considering the man who caught the fade was a legitimate threat.
The headmaster said in fact, the man was a potential threat to students. He entered the school without permission and refused to leave when asked, the headmaster said.
“He asked to see the rabbi. He was not known to anybody. He looked drunk and agitated,” Altabe said. “Our security guard escorted him out of the building. And then he responded by pushing our security guard, and then our security guard felt threatened and did the right thing.”
On the video, a staff member can be heard trying to stop the security guard. But the headmaster said he backs the guard 100 percent.
So the security guard was merely doing his job? Salute that man.
What happened to the racist “victim,” though? According to Newsday, he did not file a police report.
The video was originally posted on Mediatakeout’s Facebook page, but as you would expect it got pretty much all the facts wrong.
