Remember The Freshfields Lawyer Who Got A KPMG Accountant Beating…
Well he should have taken a leaf out of this lawyer’s fight-club instruction manual: I 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 …
Well he should have taken a leaf out of this lawyer’s fight-club instruction manual:
I 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.
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.
The incident happened about two months ago, but the martial-artist lawyer just got the security video from the prosecutor handling the case and decided to put it on YouTube where it has since been doing the rounds (scuse the pun) on the US legal blogs.
Having given his martial arts skills an outing, the lawyer stuck the boot in with his legal skills too – he apparently sued both his attacker and the building for a tidy sum.

lame fight but at least he won

He should have won earlier. Did anyone see James Wilks kicking US ass in MMA the other day. Impressive stuff.

Why did the guy post the video, it hardly makes him look like a hero, scrabbling around on the floor with a drunkard.

At leat he didn’t get beat by a bean counter.

That concierge should get fired for standing around like that doing nothing.

KPMG accountant deserved to lose his job. there was once a time that Accountants and Solicitors were respected members of their communities. now they behave like yobs and theives bent of satifying their greed whilst being no more than over paid process workers.
