Yes, I understand New Yorkers can be a bit indifferent… but this indifferent?
In case you want to know who’s who, here’s what the guy in red wrote to Angry Asian Man:
am a Korean-American attorney who lives on Wall Street in the Financial District of NY. I was out getting some icecream late at night at the corner store when I was approached by a big drunk guy who asked me if I was Korean. He went on to tell me that his wife is Korean so he “knows all about Koreans”. I tried to humor him and nod but he started getting offensive saying that Koreans get pushed around all the time but never fight back. Then he started telling me all Korean parents are insane (Marmot’s Note: God, I hope he’s not one of my commenters).
At that point, I told him I didn’t want to continue talking to him and left the store. He followed me out onto a dark street off of Wall Street and started getting in my face. I told him to take a step back and he socked me in the face. I used to box in college so I responded with a pretty brutal set of punches that put him on the ground and told him the fight was over.
As I walked away, he got up and followed me into my apartment building at 63 Wall Street. I tried to get the doorman to call the police but he refused because apparently the guy lives in the building. The drunk guy then came at me again and hit me in the mouth, breaking one of my front teeth off, and called me a chink. We ended up fighting on the ground where I subdued him using Brazilian Jiujutsu and MMA. I held him in a chokehold and told him I’d kill him before the police arrive if he didn’t stop struggling and clawing at my eyes.
Dude should have just joined a 12-step program for victims of Korean in-laws.
Good on Stephen (the KoAm), and good luck with his lawsuits against the attacker and the building.

That security/reception/doorman is so retarded. How can he justify any reason not to call the police? What’s he paid to do?
“Good on Stephen (the KoAm), and good luck with his lawsuits against the attacker and the building.”
The KorAm guy has the law on his side in the US, because there are proper self-defense laws there.
Here in SK, though, the KorAm would be paying blood money, because he did more damage.
The drunk “attacker” certainly deserved a beat down, but the Korean-American guy makes it sound much more impressive than it was. The video quality doesn’t hurt either.
Turns out the drunk “attacker” was Indian (South Asian): http://www.disgrasian.com/2009/07/amazian-of-week-stephen-mma-and-jiu.html
So basically he fended off someone from one of the least athletic and least intimidating groups on the planet. Who was drunk.
This might explain why the doorman and passerby just kind of ignored it, or didn’t take it as seriously.
They both live in an overpriced asshole colony and are probably both IP lawyers. The two of them obviously love each other to grunt and groan on the ground like that for such an eternity. And then the Korean dude gives out his address and gives us a gratuitous face shot at the end of his clip? They’re both a couple dorks. I feel violated and want to sue.
That video is strange, It is like watching some strange creature’s mating ritual on the Animal Planet channel or something. What’s with the weird dry humping thing? Is that Brazilian Jujitsu, looks more like something you would imagine you’d watch in some gay porno.
If the guy was drunk why didn’t the Korean chap just smash him in the nose, and head up to his apartment. It’s New York afterall, he could have probably got away with shooting the other guy without too much fuss!
The Korean guy was a lawyer though. Which makes me think that maybe he had it coming to him. Maybe the drunk guy should have roughed up the Korean a little more, no?
If his wife is Korean, he must be used to losing fights to Koreans.
ha ha, why this is even matter with Korea?
i love how the doorman finishes his paperwork as the two koreans hump until the police come. priceless.
Has “anti-Korean racism” become a self-fulfilling prophesy?
Gyopo NY lawyer. Random Hindu drunk with Korean wife. Brazilian jujitsu.
What a hotbed of multiculturalism this is. But something’s a bit out of whack.
First of all, who the fuck knew that Brazil has martial arts? Give me a break. Secondly, in your typical episode of Law and Order, the Hindu guy would be a all-night Seven-Eleven clerk, the Korean guy would be a small deli worker, the NY lawyer would be some guy named Eli Goldstein, the Korean wife would actually be a Chinatown immigrant who somehow speaks English surprising well involved in some kind of trouble with the Triad.
Ahem…Gracie jiu jitsu. It’s pretty fuckin’ famous, and is considered by many in MMA a must-know.
@ CM – How can he justify any reason not to call the police?
How do you know he didn’t call the cops? I see him on the phone and a few minutes later
a pizza is delivered so he can better enjoy the showthe cops turn up. Pretty quick too. Is hands-on security in the doorman’s job description? Don’t think so. But if so, give him a weapon.30 – 27 KoreanAmerican! The IndianAmerican may have gotten a punch in, off camera, but the KorAm comes back and takes the fight to the ground. He goes for the rear naked choke, doesn’t get it, but he scrambles to the full mount position. He controls his opponent from this position for the duration of the fight. Maybe raining down elbows and submission attempts, off camera, until the cops arrive. Indian is gassed and can’t get up. Round clearly goes to the KorAm for effectively controlling the drunk.
I don’t know the specifics of the law, but a door man’s duty includes more than greeting visitors and tenants, taking packages, opening doors, and answering phones. Security and keeping order in the lobby is definitely part of the job. Tenants pay for the luxury. Of course I don’t know to what extent the door man is expected to go in protecting the tenants of the building. In the least it certainly looks like the door man does not do enough to keep order in the lobby.
I think these two should reconcile, share a joint, and go out for some White Castle burgers in Jersey.
NK, absolutely. And share some Korean girl hate stories. Get it out of their system. Then drive to Princeton and pick up some hot Korean chicks.
Seouldout gets it right. The doorman was wise not to try to separate those two clowns rolling around on the floor. Had he injured one or both of them, he could have been sued. The doorman was probably following regulations by not intervening.
Sonagi, what do you mean those 2 clowns? One dude is attacking the other dude without being provoked. Of course that’s if we are to believe the KA’s story.
Anyway, it seems that they settled out of court.
“Everything has been settled legally, thanks for asking. I’m pleased with the settlements. Due to the shortening of the video it’s not really evident, but i stood there for about 5 minutes telling the doorman to call the police and he refused. I believe the building had a duty to call the police under the circumstances and there was obviously a breach which was a factor in the injury I sustained when he attacked again.”
Above the Law
Here is the moral of this story: non-Korean males married to Korean girls are a menace to Korean males.
I think we’ve all learned a valuable lesson here.
lol ^
No, the real lesson to be learned is: “tip your doorman”.
Tip? This ain’t a hotel. Christmas and presents and if you have a good relationship with the doorman, birthday presents will do.
Yikes, what does this do to all the good will created between our Indian American and Korean American brethren from that great cinematic achievement, Harold and Kumar?
@Alex:
As you yourself noted, we know only one side of the story. It was a no-brainer for the lawyer to sue the building. He didn’t have to pay for counsel, and he’d know how much to negotiate for to make it less costly for the building to settle, rather than go to court.
Don’t be daft, Alex. Of course no one tips a doorman on an ongoing basis — the Christmas tips cover the whole year and the doorman and other staff take mental note of who tipped what, as well as who is a jerk or not. I’m simply saying such things could have colored this doorman’s response. Not to mention I was just making a quip to begin with.
Dogbertt, daft and quip are not commonly used words in American English. So I don’t know how insulted I should feel.
Just wanted to let you know that I didn’t mean any harm nor is any harm taken.
Quid pro quo. I was merely responding to a daft quip with a daft quip.
Looks like useless apartment 경비원 are an international phenomenon.
Was anyone else offended at the completely wrong terminology?
Chink is for Chinese people. Gook is for Koreans (though it is also for Filipinos).
If you’re going to be a racist drunk, at least show some professionalism and get it RIGHT!
