Lawyer of the Day: Kick Ass Korean American Attorney

Over the weekend, YouTube went ablaze with the video of a drunk guy picking a fight with the wrong lawyer. The blog Angry Asian Man has a first hand account of how attorneys roll in the financial district:

[I] am a Korean-American attorney who lives on Wall Street in the Financial District of NY. I was out getting some icecream late at night at the corner store when I was approached by a big drunk guy who asked me if I was Korean. He went on to tell me that his wife is Korean so he “knows all about Koreans”. I tried to humor him and nod but he started getting offensive saying that Koreans get pushed around all the time but never fight back. Then he started telling me all Korean parents are insane.
At that point, I told him I didn’t want to continue talking to him and left the store. He followed me out onto a dark street off of Wall Street and started getting in my face. I told him to take a step back and he socked me in the face. I used to box in college so I responded with a pretty brutal set of punches that put him on the ground and told him the fight was over.

Screw WGWAGs. We are now living in the time of KAKAAs.

As I walked away, he got up and followed me into my apartment building at 63 Wall Street. I tried to get the doorman to call the police but he refused because apparently the guy lives in the building. The drunk guy then came at me again and hit me in the mouth, breaking one of my front teeth off, and called me a chink. We ended up fighting on the ground where I subdued him using Brazilian Jiujutsu and MMA. I held him in a chokehold and told him I’d kill him before the police arrive if he didn’t stop struggling and clawing at my eyes.

I thought the Brazilian martial art was Capoeira. But maybe I’ve just played too much Tekken in my life.

It’s a little hard to see everything that is going on from the video. But the indifference of average New Yorkers to random acts of violence is on full display, starting at about the 1:10 mark.

I love this town.
After subduing his attacker, the Korean American attorney had some more lawyerly tricks up his sleeve:

Stephen, both an attorney and a practitioner of martial arts, apparently sued both his attacker and the building for a tidy sum. It appears that fool picked the wrong Korean guy to mess with.
