(+) Yeah! (+)

It's in a language you don't speak, but the scene is pretty basic.

A man is sleeping with his legs hanging off the bed so his feet are on the floor. He seems peaceful. He is bracketed by two women. One in each arm.

There's a man giving some type of speech about the scene. He seems a bit upset, but he could be acting as he looks like he's being overly dramatic.

Suddenly he punches the sleeping man, hard, and square in the face. There is immediate swelling and a god-awful whining sound coming from the assaulted man's face.

The attacker continues to assault the imobilized man as the women slink away. All the while you hear what sounds like the aggressor taunting his victim in that same, foreign language.

The attack goes on, undefended, and, unrelenting for several minutes before the attacker get on the bed and begins stomping his victim from above. It looks like he's trying to cripple, not kill, his target.

My question(s) for you: Would you assume the sleeping man was the innocent victim? Or would you wonder what he must've done to receive such treatment by the 4 or more people involved? (2 girls, the attacker, and whoever was filming.)

Bump for the interesting people's responses.

I'd assume the sleeping man is innocent in the sense that he didn't deserve that kind of torture, and why did the attacker do this?

So I'm sympathetic to the dude in the bed to some degree but also curious as to why it's happening.

I saw this video and instantly felt sickened and angry at the attacker and everyone involved. Then I thought about how calm everyone else seemed and how I couldn't understand what the attacker was saying.

I convinced myself that Occam's Razor had the answer and that it was more likely that 4 (or more) people were punishing 1 awful human.

I actually needed to do that so I could sleep last night.
