    I don't know. If it's bullshit they had to have prop monitors and stuff because he threw them at a couple women.

    The woman he threw the first monitor at seemed to have a cut on her head. The whole time, one of the other women was tending to her. She got absolutely crushed by that thing.
    I think most of the people in the office were probably trying to stay the hell out of the guy's way. The actual rampage lasts about 2 1/2 minutes, so you figure the first 30-45 seconds nobody knows what's happening. The next 30-45 seconds, everybody is getting away to see if he'll snap out of it -- and because he had a weapon at that point. The last minute or so, he's up on the desk. People start to realize he's completely lost it and are either trying to snap him back to reality or looking for a way to subdue him.
    So the reactions seem about right to me.

    I'm skeptical. I can't believe someone, or more likely a group of someones, didn't rush this guy earlier.

    Especially the first two guys--the one hit on the head and then the one pushed out of his chair. Do they respond back? No, they bolt. Meanwhile, the lady who gets hit full force with the monitor stays there the whole time.

    And how about what I presume is the boss's office in back? Dude's running for cover and closing the door any time he gets near.

    If this is legit, the men in that office should be ashamed.

  8. I vote fake. It makes me even more suspicious that the original video is "corroborated" by a cell phone video. Maybe a viral marketing attempt, something like that.

    Yeah, probably an ad for Red Bull or something.

    The one guy who took the light stand away from him and shoved him back on the desk did quite well for himself.
