I remember this video I saw on the net, there is this black guy talking trash to some guy that is filming him, then the guy goes off and starts smashing cars sitting at the stoplight. Whats the origin of this video and anyone have a link?

This was discussed a year or two ago in a thread that linked the video. IIRC it was a “[Bumfights](http://thedvdshelf.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_thedvdshelf_archive.html)” type setup where (possibly) the cameraman (off camera) was somehow egging him on to do crazy stuff, and as the crackhead with the crowbaw was high as a kite he obliged.

[Here’s the video](http://www.tunepix.com/movies/holdingitdown.wmv)
