This story shows what happens if journalists are copying from each other, without turning on their brain. Some stupid journalists and editors think of the headline and want to make money. Unfortunately, what sounds too good to be true it usually is. Readers need to use their own brain and not believe the content only for the reason that it is written somewhere.

The problem is only that the whole story is nothing else than a fake. By taking a look at the following picture you'll recognize the fake too:
- At the above picture it seems that the apparent victim has a lot of blood on his clothing and some on his body.
- The apparent victim has no visible wounds. For this reason the blood can come only from his nose or his mouth, but there you don't see any traces.
- The picture shows the apparent victim smiling. With such an amount of blood loss after a 4 minute fight, a real victim would not be able to smile because his face would be swollen and each muscle would hurt so much that he would cry with a broken nose and with some lost teeth.
- Drying blood has a darker color especially by such an illumination like the picture got taken.
- That the fluid which should be the blood is nothing else than a water and color mixture gets shown edge of the bloodstains. Bloodstains have everywhere the same color, but in the picture are the edges of the bloodstains much brighter than in the center. This shows that colored water got used for producing the fake picture.
- Real blood clots fast - within a minute or two. At the picture is it still wet. That shows that it is not real blood what we see.
- You don't see one hit by watching the Youtube video. All what you see is some people standing at the door and you hear some sound. What is happening outside is only an illusion.
- Even the people blocking the view of the camera by standing in front of the door are in a civilized country a case for the state attorney for the reason of failure to aid performance.
The video and the news posting have only one reason, which got into the news too. This reason and the result can get found at
