Skateboarders clash with security guard in viral video

A skateboarder provokes reactions from netizens for trying to fight a security guard who tried to make them leave.

Recently, the Facebook page ‘BOYshirtless’ shared a video of two skateboarders arguing with the security guard who flagged them down. The video quickly circulated online and garnered comments from internet users.

In the video, the security guard can be seen asking the skateboarders to leave the area in front of the building he was guarding because they appeared to be causing a nuisance to passersby. At one point he pushed one of the young men while cursing at them, which angered the skateboarder.

The skateboarder then threatened to hit the security guard with his skateboard. The security guard tried to persuade them to move to another location so they would not bother people in the establishment.

However, the video shows that the skateboarders are stubborn and do not want to listen to the security guard. Tensions escalated and heated words were exchanged, almost resulting in a physical altercation until the security guard reentered the building.

Many netizens sided with the guard, saying he was just doing his job to maintain order and prevent any disturbances or accidents.

Others criticized the skateboarders’ behavior, saying they should have respected the guard’s authority and followed his instructions rather than unnecessarily escalating the situation.

Some viewers pointed out that skateboarding itself is not inherently wrong, but that skateboarders should have been more aware of the appropriate places and times for such activities to avoid causing problems or endangering others.
