straight from the guy who took the video’s instagram:

These race-based hate comments are unnecessary. I can't even keep up to remove them all. I'm not sure what drove his behavior, but he doesn't represent an entire race or ethnicity-just a bad apple. To those asking why no one intervened: it happened pretty quickly and didn't really require someone to jump in until the end with the direct throw to employee. Throwing a drink to the ground doesn't really constitute a rear naked choke right away.. we were also on the other side of the store, and a crowd near the front blocked us until they cleared out from the mess. We also only realized it was a hard object after watching the video. In hindsight, I wish we'd stopped him sooner so no one got hurt ????
