If he is conscientious he should've stayed in the car and avoided the whole ordeal (if it is real).

Google-owned YouTube is censoring way too much. Because this video got so much attention, the authorities have been forced to investigate the matter.

Why you would stop and get out of your car in the middle of a freeway in the first place escapes me. Why you would start a fight and then ask why people would kick you while you're down is also stupid.
