A Los Angeles man who was attacked and placed in a submission hold inside Miami Beach’s Burger King Whopper Bar last month is speaking out about what happened…
The fight happened around 3 a.m. on March 14 at the Whopper Bar at 1101 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach police said…
Photos show welts, bruises and cuts all over his face…
“It was just a simple kiss with my boyfriend,” Schaeffer explained. “Then right after that kiss, I started walking over and that’s when I was approached by this gentleman…”
Police said one of the unidentified subjects appears to have experience in martial arts. He body slammed Schaeffer, put him in a leg hold and took swings at his face…
He is now back in Los Angeles and recovering from multiple injuries to his lip, nose, face, wrist and back. But it’s the psychological healing that needs the most attention.
“The biggest injury has been all the emotional trauma. We were going to Miami for a relaxing weekend and it was traumatizing, to be honest,” Schaeffer said.
This appears to be a case where the attacker goaded the gay guy over public displays of affection, and the gay guy’s response was to try and irritate him with more PDAs. Like most rabbits, he assumed that “the rules” would hog-tie the attacker, and he could just irritate away, making the attacker look like a tool in front of everyone.
Personally, I like rules that offer civility. But you always have rabbits who will try to use them to assert social dominance over others who would be dominant absent such rules. When times are flush, and dopamine is everywhere, the amygdala stimulation produced by this assertion of social dominance will not be enough to precipitate violence by K-strategists. But if the K-strategist has a lower access to dopamine, or if environmental conditions are inherently amygdala stimulating, then they may just disregard the rules, and resort to violence. We aren’t there yet, but things are bad enough that the less constrained among us are beginning to pop. When it gets bad enough K’s begin to pop, then you will have real violence.
Everything is Yin and Yang, though. Notice how the incident has developed an amygdala pathway in the victim. The next time he is out, he may consider the feelings of those around him, and not foist upon them visages they don’t want to look at.
As the Apocalypse increases the instances such as the above, everyone will learn to not irritate those around them. When they do accidently, they will apologize and be polite to smooth things over. As the world becomes more violent, it will also become more polite, kind, and considerate.
Given K-strategists prefer a world of kindness, politeness, and consideration, that world will actually feel better to us than what we have now, despite the violence. Personally, I prefer a little anarchy and danger combined with a polite, considerate, and decent society to a society where everyone views irritating those around them as a fun game.
Welcome the Apocalypse.

You know, for having such good muscle tone the faggot sure got an ass whupping. I guess any strength you have is no good unless you know how to apply it.
It is more than that. I remember a Karate guy saying to a wrestler, “I don’t know how you get on top of a guy and you don’t just give in to an uncontrollable urge to start hitting him in the face.” The wrestler goes, “You don’t understand. By the time you get him down, your arms are so tired you don’t have the energy to throw punches…”
Grappling involves a type of muscle usage which is unlike anything you can explain with words. It is a strange sort of constant flexing of all of the muscles as each is periodically forced beyond it’s strength capability. After about a minute or two, a person with no conditioning who tries to keep up will feel their arms begin to go limp, and feel numb. Even a weightlifter who does high reps will see his arm muscles begin to shut down very quickly, maybe even faster if he only does low reps and high weights. Within a month of training, your arms develop a combination of conditioning, and a knowledge of how to relax periodically to re-juice themselves, but a novice like this guy, even watching MMA, would burn out fast if he tried to keep up.
Do you ever do posts about fitness and MMA? I’d like to read or see more about that. I’m looking into Aikido at the moment because of it’s appearance on the show “The Walking Dead”. What kind of training is best for fighting in the real world, instead of contests or TV shows?
Different styles are good for different situations. Wrestling/BJJ is the best for one on one, unarmed fighting against a trained opponent. But if your opponent has a buddy who jumps in while you are tied up on the ground you are a dead man, and fighting at the beach would be tough if all you have on are trunks, and you begin to sweat – its why todays MMA tends to have so much stand-up. Put them in T-shirts so they stick, and they’d all end up on the ground. Karate/boxing/striking is better for stand up, and with thirty to forty minutes every other day on a speed bag, and training your bare fist, your fists can become pretty fearsome weapons, and much better for multiple opponents. It is tough to describe how explosive a punch can become from that kind of repetition, but it is impressive – and very ineffectual against a good BJJ guy or even some high school wrestlers. Judo is a good grappling style for disabling an untrained opponent quickly, if you train for that, and the ground work and submission today will not be that much different from BJJ, but most schools won’t train quick disabling so you’d have to focus your drilling on takedown-disabling, takedown-disabling. I’ve done Akido, and the free fighting fast against multiple opponents feels good, but they aren’t actively trying to brain you, so I think it can breed false confidence. You really need an opponent going all out trying to beat you as you try to beat him. As a result, it never clicked with me as something I’d rely on too much, though I could see utility in a lot of it if a fight turned to wrestling for a gun or knife.
Then again, I had a well rounded friend head to Arizona and train at some nutty MMA school out there for a few months years back, and he was totally unprepared for them. There the grappling featured trying to break fingers as guys went for chokes, and some even tried gouging eyes. When he told my friends about that, they were like, “I’d start biting.” His response was, “You could have done it. There were no rules.” I see it more as a measure of how you need to be careful – training limits your skills in some ways by limiting your behavior and expectations. It’s be fucked up to train for decades, and then get disabled right off by a newbie and end up with your ass kicked because you stupidly left your fingers grab-able as you went for the choke, instead of keeping a fist. I could also see how if eye gouging was a thing, you’d move your head differently on the ground, and maybe keep your face pressed against the opponent’s body and feel for where his hands were going to head it off if he tried it. Not sure what you’d do about biting. You won’t see that until it happens to you or you hear about it, and you won’t see it in most schools.
Different people have different strengths too, which is why different styles developed. A thick guy who is naturally strong will do well grappling, while a fast springy guy may be better off striking than wrestling. Try different stuff yourself, and see what works for you. Maybe you are a natural puncher, and that is a huge strength of your’s
But everyone should be lifting, and increasing protein to put on muscle, as they condition themselves. Weight and size have two huge advantages. If you look big enough, most trouble will go the other way, since rabbits want the easy mark, not the tough fight. In addition, if it comes to a fight, weight is hugely helpful. I remember trying takedowns on a guy who was twenty pounds heavier than me and it was hard to move him. Then months later I had twenty pounds on him, and he was literally like a rag doll. Punches are much more devastating too. An untrained or lightly trained guy who weighs 150 can sting you, but an untrained or lightly trained guy who weighs 220 will take your head off if he connects. The mass is a huge advantage, IMO, in many ways, as is basic muscular fitness and endurance.
Of course, a gun beats a knife, a knife beat MMA training, MMA training beats physical fitness, and good physical fitness beats most saps out there, even if you don’t have a gun on you, which you should.
The problem with H2H combat training is that either you train like you fight (and people, including you, get seriously injured, possibly crippled while training, leaving you ill-equipped when a real need arises) or you train without the last 10-20% of what you’d actually use (joint destruction holds, full-speed strikes, blinding or deafening moves) if your life depended upon it.
Neither of those seems like a good choice for the purpose intended. It’s the same problem with shoot houses. As I understand it, if you hesitate long enough to make sure your target is an actual threat, if it is a threat it can have already killed you. This is why some cops develop a shoot first, decide if it was necessary later kind of approach.
I just don’t know that there is a better solution than staying the hell out of places where combat is more likely, staying the hell out of arm’s reach of drunks, and crossing your fingers that you aren’t blind-sided by something out of nowhere.
Just want to say I really appreciate your coverage and writing. Hope you keep it up. I don’t comment much, but want to give you some encouragement. You deserve a larger readership.
Thanks for the encouragement. It is appreciated.
I’ve been in two completely unprovoked fights within a block or three of that location, neither had to do with anything at all that I could tell besides alcohol. It’s in the middle of the more ghetto south beach clubs.
That being said, it looks like gay show-muscles was going towards the guy in the black shirt, from the video, though didn’t look close enough or cannot tell if there was physical contact before.

That’s true. I recently watched a documentary about prison in Russia. It’s in a remote Siberia and only hosts convicted murderers (most of them there for life). One thing that stood out was strict code all inmates followed- and being polite was on the top of that list. I guess everybody realised that killing another person is very possible outcome to simple misunderstanding. So any kind of rudeness had zero tolerance.
