What do you think should be the fair punishment for the man who kicked Arnold Schwarzenegger?
I saw the clip and laughed. That guy bounced off Arnold like he was a real Terminator; solid steel under the skin and living tissues. Arnold didn't even lose his balance. He just staggered once and then straightened up, looked over his shoulder, and shrugged. It is not a big thing.
On the other hand, or foot if you prefer, your attacker broke his leg, or so I heard. I didn't check that and I don't really care. His attacker (which is called a "flying kick" or "jump kick", not a drop kick, by the way) threw everything in him and missed miserably.
He was / is obviously crazy. When security dropped him to the ground, he was yelling, “I need a Lamborghini! I need a Lamborghini! "(I wonder if he thought that kicking Arnold would make Mr. S give him a Lamborghini. But I'm deviating ...) So Arnold was compassionate because he knew the authorities would talk to him and find out that the boy obviously had some few fries from Happy Meal.
Mr. S is not an angry or vindictive guy. That is not his style. Even if the attacker wasn't crazy, and you'd have to be pretty crazy to attack a guy who might bite his teeth on you, he's not on revenge or ugly things like that. That's movie shit and Arnold is well aware of the distinction between the two. In real life, he's a nice, laid-back, lucid, and quite liberal guy for a lifelong Republican. He's spent his entire life doing good things and I suspect he saw no reason to change that habit because some crazy bird tried to bring him down.
They call it "class" or "grace under fire." Once again, he set the example and it was good. I suggest that we all try to emulate it, even a little bit. Arnold would be proud of us.
A Man Dropkicked Arnold Schwarzenegger In The Back. He Says He Didn't Even Realize It Happened.
It takes more than that to bring down the Terminator.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former bodybuilder, star of the Terminator franchise, and governor of California, has reassured fans that there is "nothing to worry about" after a video of a man dropkicking him from behind went viral Saturday.
The incident occurred at the Arnold Classic Africa, a sports festival in Johannesburg, South Africa, as Schwarzenegger was filming a video for Snapchat of himself admiring young contestants with jump ropes.
Shortly after Schwarzenegger, 71, put down the phone, a man lurking nearby ambushed him from behind, jumped in the air, and kicked him in the back.
In videos of the attack that soon went viral on social media, Schwarzenegger can be seen stumbling a bit as a security guard tackles the man to the ground.
The man who decided to kick the former professional bodybuilder can be heard yelling, "Help me! I need a Lamborghini!" in the background of the commotion.
Festival organizers said on Twitter they believe that incident was "carefully planned" by the man, who they described as "a crazed fan ... [who] is known to the police for orchestrating similar incidents in the past."
Organizers added that security handed the man over to the police, but that Schwarzenegger did not want to press charges.
"He views this as an unfortunate incident by a mischievous fan," they said.
Schwarzenegger was said to be unharmed and in "good spirits" after the incident.
"None of us could have foreseen that something like this could have taken place," they said.
Schwarzenegger himself tweeted that he thought he'd just been pushed by the crowd and that he didn't realize he'd been kicked until he watched the video himself.
"I’m just glad the idiot didn’t interrupt my Snapchat," Schwarzenegger said.
