The video is a simple one: Someone inside a busy urban venue (it seems like a coffee shop) is filming a brutal beatdown on the street outside. Two young Black men are attacking an older White man. We don't know why the fight is happening or how long it's been going on. It's simply a violent two-on-one beat-down. The people inside the venue, near the person filming, seem to be watching with interest but no concern. That two young men are beating an older man is apparently a "whatever" emotionally.
And then, as the men vanish behind a poster on the venue wall, you suddenly hear the people inside gasp, cry out, and otherwise sound like people in serious distress. At that moment, the two Black men who were involved in the fight start scrambling away, and we see why: the White man has pulled a gun on them. He's not shooting or waving it wildly; he's simply holding it steadily, forcing them to back up. Eventually, they vanish from view as the older man stands with the gun still at the ready, ensuring that the men who attacked him are no longer in his orbit.

I had a hell of a time posting this article for some reason, so if it pops up again, just ignore the second posting.
