Ben is a good young man. He flagged the police down within a minute of the encounter. That's honesty and nobilty. Taking responsibility rather than trying to conceal his part in it. Difficult to choose to do the correct thing when the stakes are that high.
And the victim's wife is extraordinary. So generous to forgive Ben in that way. Empathy and compassion. Thank God there was footage.
Why should Ben care about forgiveness? He didn't start it when they all had a go at him. But he finished it
@@colum9911 he didn't start it but he did kill someone, even if it was self defense. That's gonna effect him and that family for the rest of their lives. Any decent person would still realize they killed someone, even if it's in self defense.
@@Bethany0420 yes he will remember, like any boxer or sports person who accidently kills someone, but they shouldn't have to ask for forgivness.
@@colum9911 why not, he still ended the life of that family member. Most people who kill someone still ask for forgiveness, or atleast apologize. It's a respect thing.
@@colum9911 there was a boxer that accidentally killed an opponent; it really affected him. years later, the victim's son told that guy he didn't blame him, and the boxer broke down crying. the son's forgiveness meant a lot to him
These stories are powerful. I like the mix of actors giving the backstory and the actual footage. A friend of mine got sucker punched at a graduation party in 1990. His jaw was broken in 3 places, wired shut for 6 or so weeks. His uncle was a state attorney, needless to say, they sued and won.
Sued who?
@@joanna0988 my friend sued the guy who sucker punched him, civil suit.
@MyFestivus The person was worth something then? Here in Canada there isn't usually a point to sue in these cases because your legal feels will be more than anything you get back.
@@joanna0988exactly. You can sue someone, but getting the money is a whole other problem. 🙋♀️🇨🇦 love from BC
@@liftedgifted6010 I'm in BC too 💗 North Langley to be exact 👋
These stories are so sad to watch. Just one moment can change your entire life.
don't know why dave's dad said, "i've always taught him to stand up for yourself." is he trying to excuse dave's behavior? bc it didn't. dave put himself into a fight that had nothing to do with him.
dave's actions (as well as those other bullies) bothers me bc not only did they pick a fight over such a small thing, but they ganged up on ben, and now changed his life forever just so they can feel tough for a few minutes. a man died bc he wanted to fight someone over something that didn't involve him, when he could've just said to his friend, "ok, ok, let's go mate, it's not worth fighting over, let's just go." instead he said to ben, "it's too late, you're going to get it." makes me wonder how often they pick ridiculous fights.
yeah I agree, tragic that he died, but he made that decision himself to get involved
i know ben feels so much guilt, but he really shouldn't; he did everything he could to stop it. this is one story where i feel he truly was a victim.
1. when he had the tall guy on the ground, he was trying to restrain him; many guys would use that opportunity to throw in punches, but he didn't.
2. even when the other guy came up to him in a boxing stance, threatening him, his body language was non-aggressive and showed he was trying to deescalate
3. after the punch, he backed up in a non-threatening manner, with his hands up; other guys would be proud of themselves, saying, "yup, i knocked him out in one punch!"
THOSE bullies brought on their friend's death, not ben; ben was just the unfortunate person they chose to corner. he had no choice whatsoever, it was like a pack of wild hyenas circling a lion. he really had no other option. i feel so bad for him; he truly doesn't deserve the guilt. he tried so hard to deescalate, then he even went to a cop to turn himself in right away. seems like a good guy that was given no other option than to fight. i really hope the guilt doesn't cause his life to go downhill in any way.
Good video this one. Too bad the first two wouldn't admit that they were in the wrong. Always the ones clearly initiating it that won't admit it. Glad Dave's loved ones could see that he was the one who provoked Ben and good thing he turned himself in straight away. Good thing for CCTVs too, they clear a lot of things up. 2nd old guy was a total douche though, assuming Brian didn't have a disability not even thinking he could've been with somebody else who did, and also refuting the eye witness saying she was wrong like geez mate, give up!
true, true, you can teach old guys new tricks, but you can't get them to change their perspectives or minds
These things should be played in schools where young men can see this. There is so much fighting in the world and life is so fragile and yet still people continue to go out there and risk peoples lives by punching people everyday. One punch can destroy your life and many others around you.
I agree..this video needs to be seen by everyone..it humbles you
Or gore
Sadly that would encourage them. We watched DUI videos in school in 1980 and some people wanted to hurt other people and got kicks from the video
Number 3. My heart goes out to him. That’s how you take responsibility for your own actions. I hope he forgives himself. He’s a good guy. ❤❤
Whyshould he forgive himself? He was attacked
@@colum9911any normal brain would have remorse for killing someone even if it was an accident or in self defense.
@@liftedgifted6010 Exactly, you can be justified in your actions but also remorseful for the unintended consequences.
"i didnt mean to hurt him".
What is your goal when it comes to punching someone??
Over a parking space??! Are you serious?
Were you going to park there?
What an eye opening documentary- we’ll done ✅
indeed, this should be shown to every young man before he reaches high school some great real life lessons here
In Australia we call it a coward punch for good reason.
I like that term better. It’s more descriptive.
Much better than when we called it king hit
Yep that’s right. Here it is called coward punch for that reason, it’s a cowardly act.
Cowards punch defines it correctly I think. Around my area in SA its also called a dog shot sometimes hmm ...
You might make that split second decision believing you didn't think it through, but it takes a conscious psychological choice to be physically violent towards another .. especially if you are in a crowd of people that are fighting .. you can't say you were not aware. No excuse.
@Adzy82 We had the same here in NSW a while ago now, and ironically it was a boxer Danny Green who was promoting the campaign against coward punching.
Watts lied…knocks Brian down with a punch,hears that he smashed his head on the floor and is out…and then jumps in his car and drives off…what an evil man,then tries to lie his way out of it.
while if your mad enough at someone to punch them your not gonna stay their and then tend to them you'd hope someone else does that but it was a complete pssy shot from watts with brians back turned and he is a bad person and a coward
I cried with ya in each story. Tragic what happened. My heart goes out to those who’ve lost a loved one. Well done putting this documentary together.
I feel like school kids (boys) need to watch this. It's just one bad decision away & can happen so easily.
Wow! what a powerful ending!!! No words
Wow, these stories are crazy. Well done show, thank you for the upload. I'm sorry for the victims and their families.
Excellent show - Thanks!
21:30 BRILLIANT questions from the two female officers!!!! Called him on his shite! Fantastic- well done ladies!!!!
Great episode! One can really learn a thing or two by watching it! Thanks for posting ang keep it up!👍🏻
If the kids clenching a fist & facing him dead in the eyes. How the story is depicting the interaction. THAT
IS NOT A SUCKER PUNCH.
When a man’s back or head is turned that is a sucker punch…..
Sad story.
I think they mean it was cowardly because it wasn't a self defense type of hit, it was offensive/aggressive to someone who wasn't trying to fight at all.
When a dude doesn't know ur about to fight and he is punched that is a sucker punch.
Great video!
I hope Ben finds what he’s looking for. He seems like a good kid that unfortunately was scared and trying to protect himself while saying he didn’t want to do it. If he had wanted to cause harm ,he would’ve not held the first guy , he would’ve been throwing hands . Dave’s wife is a strong woman and I wish the best for his family and that all involved will heal in time. Not forget, but heal enough to not forget that life’s for the living so live it !
So do I ,he's definitely not the aggressor and he tried so hard to NOT hurt anyone but also to protect Himself also . But I also feel horrible for Dave and his family ,so very very sad .
Watching Ben and His Dad hugging was so heart wrenching and sad it just broke me ,I'm so sorry for them . This story is heartbreaking to me for both families and I hope they're back doing everything together again as soon as possible . Ben's been raised right because He didn't try to hide r blame it on the other Guy and didn't just leave Dave there and went for Help ,it say a lot about His character , strength comes in many ways .
Great doco ❤
Ben is a legend. He defended himself against a monster
I don’t get why it seems like the documentary wants to paint it the other way around. You can clearly see he was trying to deescalate. He was scared, got jumped by 3 guys. It was self Defence 100%
That was powerful. 😞🙏🏻♥️
Never assume about someone's disability.
All these situations are devastating & unfortunate 😕..to be truthful I do see in Ben that he is remorseful, even in the actual video of the altercation he tried to say and show he didnt want to fight, there was 3 guys to 1, After he hit David one time and David fell Ben put his hands up,stepped back and got in the taxi and had the taxi driver pull over to the police and he did the grown up right thing..After he hit him one time he didnt keep hitting and beating him, Ben didnt want to fight,he didnt want to hurt anyone..Even with the tall guy all he did was try to hold him down in place to avoid fists flying, even with his boxing training he chose not to whoop butt when being approached by 3 guys,2 of them bigger than him.,i do think he was defending himself..now that dont take away the fact that David lost his life and Davids family and loved ones have suffered a huge loss..My sincerest sympathies to all the families involved.Davids wife is a very strong forgiving loving person..Wow, Nicki is an incredible lady..I understand why Davids father isnt as forgiving, he lost his son..its devastating 💔😥 .Ben seems like a good guy that was put in a bad situation,hopefully all these people heal and find peace..❤💐🫶
Last story😭🙏🏼
The truth is Ben is in prison. He just doesn't have four walls around in him physically. He's a prisoner in his mind.
A one punch happened near my apartment close to a coles. Didn't think much of it, but watching these is shocking.
Sadly the culture of alcohol has not been discussed at all and..i think even the second case had alcohol in its causes
Its not the punch that kills them, its their head bouncing off the hard ground that usually does it.
That’s what I think. It was just a freak accident. How many times do we see fights and people getting hit in the head. Hitting the head can be dangerous but fights will happen now and forever. He could have slipped and fell and hit his head. I am sorry but he is not a murderer at all. My opinion only
@@sharonbrown6595 Head wouldn't be bouncing off the ground if the punch wasn't thrown. And punches can kill - humans aren't super powerful, impervious creatures. We are very delicate. A well-placed punch can easily kill someone.
He killed someone, most definitely. It is a different degree of murder, but it is still murder. When you drunk drive and kill someone, you can't say, 'Oh I didn't mean to, so that means I didn't murder them'. Well, your bad decision still killed someone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@tiannicalogheros6339 😅😂
@@tiannicalogheros6339 100% I am glad someone can use logic.
@@tiannicalogheros6339except everyone knows how dangerous it is to drink and drive, but how many people are aware that they could kill someone by throwing one punch? I don't think it's the same thing at all considering the statistical differences between the two.
Thank you for the excellent upload eye opener really.
The 1st case Ben was arrogant to say I never did anything, then how did George die... You knocked him down duh. It had nothing to do with you to begin with. What a shame lots of cowards young and old. People lost loved ones for no reason at all. The man who stopped the police has morals, clear he didn't try run away and he feels remorse. Thank goodness for cctv, and the wife is an awesome lady. My heart goes out to both families.
I'm sorry he died, but there is a reason the concept of minding your own business exists. If he had minded his own business, he would be alive today
Five years for taking a life... unbelievable.
I hope old man Watts got some prison time. Pathetic! Believing he was the victim 🤯🤯
As for Davids wife Nikki - the wives are tough too, they also serve with their husbands ❤
What army do wives serve?
tDavid's wife could teach the world a thing or two about empathy, compassion, grace, forgiveness, and especially courage, she should be applauded; these men on the other hand have a lot to learn about those things, and more just senseless and tragic displays of bravado and machismo, I've always hoped that there would be a "cure" for testosterone someday, it seems to cause an awful lot of harm, as these stories show
He should have pled guilty, just to apologize to the family. It's the respectful thing to do. Poor kid (George). I can't imagine that families pain. I am a mom of all boys, and I'm devastated for his mother. It doesn't matter that he "didn't mean" to hurt him. He's a murderer. He got exactly what he deserved. 🖤
You weren't there. You don't know what happened. I have three boys. We do stuff like this. Ultimately, those responsible are those who started the fight.
@@DrJ-hx7wv not at all. I will never defend my kids throwing a punch that makes somebody die. Just like I would never defend them raping someone. Even if she was "asking for it." Even if she was throwing herself at him in a drunken stupor. Even if she started something that she didn't want to finish. The blame lies with whom committed the crime. And I'm grateful my kids will never cross paths with your kids if they have a parent like you.
@@DrJ-hx7wv Yeah and that was BEN, he punched George for no reason other than he was looking for a fight. Oh and btw you weren´t there either.
It's disgusting how he legitimizes his actions without a shred of remorse, and the fact that he went back to a party the next day bragging about it.
big up Curtis
Having a concussion & going to sleep without getting medical help can kill a person, it is what happened to that actor from Full House, Bob, He was at a hotel & somehow bump his head pretty bad, told his wife on the phone, he would take a Tylenol for his headache & go to bed. I believe the maid found him passed away the next morning. I know that kid didn’t mean to kill George but it still is considered manslaughter at least. 45 months & no remorse was terrible. That guy that said something to the guy in the handicap parking was very wrong. I don’t like people that don’t need disabled parking to use those spaces either but you don’t know what kind of disability someone has, I am disabled, cannot walk without my walker, don’t drive so my adult children take me to Dr appts, etc, we have seen plenty of people park in disabled & get out & walk but I’ve always told my kids they could have any kind of disability & yes, I don’t even use disabled parking if I know I can make the distance but it was not up to that guy to say anything. He should have gotten more than 5 years. Just feel heartbroken for the victims & especially their families, the parents. Hope for peace in their lives. 🙏
Any coward who sucker punches should be locked up for years and years..
Agreed
Disagree
In Australia, It is well educated and well known of the dangers of a 'one punch'. Young men are well informed of the dangers this can cause. Unfortunately that first lad still dosen't appear to be remorseful or understand his actions. Hopefully they can realise they have a second chance in life and rather than feel sorry for themselves find something positive.
DAYUM mn you got fentanyl and Kool-aid??
anyways, thanks
The second older guy is despicable.
He wasn't boasting? One can see the smile on his when he turns away the last time from his friends that night on the cctv. He doesn't seem contrite at all.
People really do not understand, and the education system doesn't tell us either. It's so easy to get head trauma.
When they are older and have more time to think, it will affect them more!
Friends have moved on by then and don’t seem important at all.
The last has actually humanity at play
British people starting arguments knowing they are apparently made of paper
This happened to a young guy at a party my brother went to.
So sad and pointless
Last story..😭😭😭x
The ending scene was *SO FREAKIN' POWERFUL!!!! OMGosh!!!!*
And the Dad and/or Girlfriend of the ending scene *FUQING GET IT!!!!! IT'S AN ACCIDENT! Both boys in both instances were participants of the fight or the jump. Its *REALLY SUPER DISGUSTING TO ME THAT THE 1st example is of an older gentleman.... yet he acts like the damn child!! SICKENING!* .... *THANKS TCC! As always, *WE love and dearly appreciate your time and energy that you put into these videos for our entertainment!* , *KEEP 'EM COMING!!!!* Happy Saturday to *YOU!!!!.... OUR FRIEND* and all our *SUBSCRIBER FRIENDS*of *TRUE CRIME CENTRAL* as well.
Ben did nothing wrong, you can tell the whole time he wasn’t trying to fight and was trying to get away the whole time. It was 3v1 and all the guys were trying to fight him.
At Diego Garcia, I saw so many drunk fights.
Why can't people keep their mouths to themselves? Just because you don't look disabled doesn't mean that you aren't. I suffer from a chronic illness and while I may look fine on the outside...I live in chronic pain and fatigue. Those who are not in the disabled shoes need to keep their damned judgements and comments to themselves. Especially when they don't know the truth whether it's the vehicle's owner or passenger. Mind your own damned business!😡
You can voice feeling guilty as the day is long. Knowing human nature - there's a sense of pride he's not going to be able to cover over
Wrong. That young man didn't want this. He is obviously soul shook.
Living with guilt? If one does not experience shame, which is a noble virtue, then nothing will learned by an offender. There are too many in this world, let alone our society, who don't have a sense of shame, let alone guilt, which is just offending a higher authority. Shame comes from a failure of performance. A spontaneous feeling of our spiritual nature, emanating from our Psyche (located in the center of our body). Guilt is of the mind (the head). The Psyche is round, the mind is square. Every heard of a blockhead?
Especially a stubborn blockhead. They identify with their ego (false self).
Ben didn't need to back-up a friend and George didn't need to intervene. Fighting is a mug's game and walking or minding your own business will keep you alive. The only time fighting is acceptable is in paid professional or sanctioned amateur competition. Walk away and live another day. Your ego will mend from nasty words said to you.
Wow. That kid hasn’t accepted responsibility at all. I do believe it will get him as he ages.
As it should. It’s irresponsible behaviour that caused a death. It may not have been premeditated. However he killed someone. His violent behaviour, killed someone. He hasn’t made the connection yet. This will hit him when he has a family.
He deserves forgiveness. He needs to accept responsibility first. ❤❤
It a better go away😢
You men.
💫💫💫
You rarely ever hear this about women.
All the men standing around and watching the fight should be in prison also.
The last case was bullshit ...that asshole was looking for a fight and even threw a punch , it's unfortunate what happened but he got the fight he was looking for !!!
He stood up for himself but you can clearly see on the video that he didnt want to fight, he had the hands on his sides and just faced up to the dude who died.
Sucker punch for good reason it's for suckers to use Not Real 1s
The first 2 men deserve to rot in prison. The fact the 1st one only got 45 months is appalling.
The last story was so heart breaking.
Prayers for all the families
Second story: A pathetic story of entitlement. Looks like a Gen Xer took the selfishness lessons from his Boomer parents a little to seriously.
Yeah, he seems real remorseful ...
People going to hate this comment,but Its his own fault for getting inbetween the fight. Moral of the story, Mind your own business ...
Weird flex....but ok.
No sympathy for all these young barbarians
my brother opened the door cos they was plain clothes police they weren't in uniform so he didn't know who it was, so he opened the door and said 'what's the matter?' they said 'police, where's Ben?'
tell me your whole family is known to police without telling me your whole family is known to police
Nicki is a very strong woman! She recognised the situation for what it was for. I feel for Ben. You could see he didn’t want to do it.
As for the 2nd guy - he is a pig. He made terrible assumptions and got out of his car to chase and punch someone. He saw him to go down and turned, walked away and went home. Then had the audacity to lie about it.
The first guy - I don’t think he’s accepted responsibility for his actions. I think he’s sorry it happened but I don’t think he’s accepted his part.
these broke me.
Born for the live-action role of OPM.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Mom's spiteful her son wasn't the true alpha.
