If you listen to the background when he gets knocked out you can hear a child do a very nelson like haha.

    There's a very satisfying follow up video.

    He's been arrested, had bail set at a million and they interview the guy who intervened.

    What kind of accent does Kama have? I've never heard anything like it.

    Hawaiian native I guess. He says watch your mouth Haole boy.

    Sounds like he was speaking Pidgin. I'm guessing you know this, but for the others: Haole are people not from the island, but doesn't always apply to tourists from what I have read.

    Hawaiian identity is somewhat complicated.

    He don't look like he has any business throwing haole around.

    It's complicated...... Hawaiian pidgin developed in the late 1800s from multi ethnic plantations. It's a blended version of English with Hawaiian, Portuguese, Japanese, Cantonese, and Filipino languages. It's not really distinct to a single ethnicity on the islands, it's spoken by around half of the population of Hawaii. So it's more of a distinction that you are a local rather than being a native Hawaiian.

    This dude has ego and temper issues and should never be in a position of public service. He honestly was acting like he was drunk up until the first time he got clocked.

    I have very rarely, if ever, seen someone talking shit win in a head to head fade.

    Cause the person talking shit is auditioning for the entire place to come whip them.

    They get the crowd's best swing.

    Wow, that's highly embarrassing for him. He comes across as a petulant little weasel with a Napoleon complex.

    He's lucky the guy who decked him had more self control, or Basin could have had the ever-loving shit beaten out of him. He got lucky with just being knocked out for a minute.

    I hope this video haunts him in his election campaign.

    Anyone arguing while standing on plastic grass is not to be taken seriously.

    That's not plastic grass; its a common kind of grass in Hawaii, that's very densely packed, and it feels really nice to walk on while barefoot. Also nice to sleep on when you've been decked.

    I’m somewhat confused here. This guy is now where listed as a candidate for the 2026 congressional election for either the 1st or 2nd district. So was it that he was a candidate for the primary and already lost and just gets the moniker still or??

    He's a candidate in the Democratic primary in Hawaii's 2nd district.

    Ah, I thought the primary had already concluded. I see it’s scheduled for Aug 8. Somehow, I don’t think this candidate ever stood a chance vs Tokuda (or anyone else in this primary lol, even before this stupidity).

    What a glorious downward spiral. Thank you for sharing.

    Assumed Republican but actually Democrat.

    As a Democrat voter I am here to condemn the fuck out of this loser and can pretty much confirm his political career is over.

    Wish the other half of America made it this easy.

    It did not take much to knock that guy down. Not sure if he was faking it or not.

    Movies have lied to us. Outside of trained boxers/fighters, it doesn't take much to knock someone normal out IRL, a decent tag in the right spot and almost anyone will go out like that.

  • I’m not a trained fighter. But I have knocked a few people out before. I had to hit them pretty hard and not just anywhere. Usually the jaw around the chin.

    Of course this was all in self defense. I had long dreadlocks and I live in a state with a bunch of cowboys.. why do drunk cowboys always want to try to kick a hippies ass?

    Wonder what set him off. Seems pretty irrational. Demolished verbally and physically. Super embarrassing.

    edit: saw the follow up video that gave context. This guy then grabbed a switchblade and went after that Kratos sized dude and other people. Way to throw your life away.

  • He’s got the most manly beard I’ve seen and that fear boner is great.

    Lol knocked out. He fell down and pretended to be out from the looks of it just to stop from actually getting his ass beat.

    A well-placed punch to the jaw can knock you out.
    Plus playing dead can backfire and you end up being beaten even more.
