Now we’re all guilty of being a sore loser from time to time. Whether it’s tipping the Monopoly board over or throwing a hissy fit in the middle of a football match; everyone’s behaved like an infant in the face of a smug winner.
Smash a bottle over their head, however? Probably not.
Tom Connors, an entertainer who takes his basketball talents to the streets, was shamelessly attacked after his volunteer fell short of challenging him like a NBA player.
Now it’s not rocket science. If a performer pulls you from the crowd, it’s rarely for a leisurely chat or for you to take the limelight as ‘the talented one.’ After being out-played several times, a teasing ball to the head was clearly the final straw.
Despite being in broad daylight, he sees no problem with casually picking up a bottle and knocking the busker out cold. As onlookers are left shocked (or questioning whether this is all part of the act) there seems to be very little reaction as he saunters away.
Which left me wondering, is this shocking turn of events all a hoax? The camera appears to focus on the ‘attacker’ continuously, with the bottle unbranded and easily placed within the scenes reach. Was this simply a well-placed stooge, ready to perform for that all important media coverage?
We’ll leave it for you to decide.
