St. Mark's Place Fight Night
Updated: The video of the street fight is no longer on Vimeo, though it is now on YouTube.
Updated 7/14. Apparently the video has been removed from YouTube. On Friday night, someone using a gmail account with "gibberish" as the name told us to remove this post or face "legal action."
Last night via Jordy (of the Temple of Ramentology and Cult of Joe and the doorshitter...) Per the Vimeo description:
"It all started when a drunk Asian kid was pissing on the stairs of Search & Destroy. The skate kids walk by and make a comment about him pissing. The Asian kid stops mid flow then steps up to the black skater kids and says 'I'm Asian motherfucker!' Right after that I started filming the Asian kid and his drunk ass friends get the crap kicked out of them."

ReplyDeleteWhat happens as we age is we lose testosterone and stop hitting each other with skateboards, which is good.
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to watch this. I don't think this should be encouraged.
ReplyDeleteWhat a logical-sounding fight! Good going, young men of St. Marks!
ReplyDeleteShit fuck fuck shit....
ReplyDeleteAwful lot of whining and hurt feelings, especially coming from street toughs. "You said this!" "You shut up!!!"
St Mark's is for the Asians and tourists now. Lol at people who still flock there as some kind of punk/counter culture hub.
St. Marks has always been the Oregon Trail for gentrifiers. It's where culture was sold, not created.
ReplyDelete911 anyone? Never mind, too busy viding.
ReplyDeleteGood. Maybe next time Mr. Boat Shoes (Mary Janes for men) will think twice about pissing in public and drunkenly mouthing off to someone.
ReplyDeletei'm glad nyc young people have no fighting ability these days. if this had happened when i was their age in 1994 these kids would all be in the hospital
ReplyDelete10:58,
ReplyDeleteSkaters could never fight. They've only ever had the numbers game on their side (that being, obviously, their friends, not math)
"Using their words" shows the success of anti-bullying campaigns in schools today.
ReplyDeleteI hope this was turned into the police.
ReplyDelete1. Where are the cops?
ReplyDelete2. More people concerned with getting good video than stopping a fight
3. Swinging skateboards at people will get someone killed and one or more of these people will be in jail and or the hospital very soon.
Its a sad state of affairs in this world, country and this Fing city I look forward to leaving.
Stupid hotheads on both sides, and it was disturbing to see one guy hitting another guy with his skateboard.
ReplyDeletenotice he stole the kids jordans

ReplyDeleteI avoid St. Mark's Place like the plague. Always did.
ReplyDeleteWhat fucking pussies. Both sides.
ReplyDeleteIf you're gonna fight, drop the fucking skateboards and fight like men. Stop swinging your skateboards and backing away after you swing it. You got these skaters preaching this and that about being grown, yet they're fighting with skateboards. REAL FUCKIN GROWN. Yeah the kid was takin a piss, yeah he deserves to get his ass beat, but if you gonna do it, do it like a man, not like a pussy ass teenager swinging a skateboard.
Heartening. If there's one thing teenage skate punks hate its inconsiderate behavior like public urination. Good on you lads, sticking up for what is right.
ReplyDeletei dont get this new generation.. theyre bunch of pansies
ReplyDelete3:09 -
ReplyDeleteRight on. Both sides. These skinny little dudes w their skateboards and "hit me again, hit me again" and these Asian guys running away like sissies. Sad display.
I lived right near this for years. If you get upset by people pissing in doorways, you probably should avoid the entire neighborhood.
Why did he say "'I'm Asian motherfucker!'"? Is he trying to justify public urination as not only a common Asian habit, but a point of pride in Asian culture?
ReplyDeleteI'm only semi-Asian, and I take offense at that implication.

ugh.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm so glad to see that this was not a bunch of women fighting and yelling.
ReplyDeleteBecause women are so emotional and all.......
Hey, sometimes it's ok for consenting adults to have a fight, when fighting words are spoken. The crooked ass police dont need to come babysit everytime grown up men decide to fight and are both willing. Grow a pair New New York! Calling the cops is way.worse than fighting. Whatever happened to the natural code of behavior of men. It's dissapearrance has allowed for this generation of men to be total whining punks who can say whatever to whoever and arent held accountable for their behavior. Anytime nature starts sorting itself out, some goody two shoes has to call the cops and stop natural selection from occuring. It also stops jerks from learning their lesson if theres always some nosey dork with a snitch phone to stop things from occuring naturally.
ReplyDeleteI think I've seen this somewhere before...

Hey 2:10 AM, maybe it's because our generation have a habit of escalating things to the point where people get stabbed and shot over something as small as stepping on a guys sneaker. I agree some people need to have a little fear of getting punched in the mouth for something they've said, but is it honestly worth standing your ground and getting killed? Especially when you're outnumbered?
ReplyDeleteI don't get how people have the right mind to smack others with skateboards and then proceed to yell at how "they won."
ReplyDeleteHave the decency to at least fight with your hands if you outnumber the other party like that.
i'm late to the game......
ReplyDeleteanyone know where i can see this video?
