Moelis MD Displays MMA-Level Fighting Skills

Did you guys see this video of the Moelis MD smoking someone at Pride? Bring him to the Octagon! Wonder what got him so riled up

Edit: Turns out the guy was attacked by a group of anti-semites, so fuck them--Moelis better keep this man in his position or promote him for being an absolute GOAT

Throwing a drink in itself doesn't mean you need to knock out someone, but being in his position you don't know what someone is throwing at you, it could be skin-peeling acid for all we know. I'm not a lawyer so don't know if this is considered assault or not. If this was self-defence it shouldn't impact his career imo

 

Definitely want to see full context but punching a girl while visibly hammered (assuming that he’s stumbling for that reason, as opposed to having been jumped) is so messed up.

 

What a stud - this story paints him as one of the legendary bankers of old.

Look at the back of the guy, it looks like someone poured something on him.

We need to see what happened 1 minute before. 

Nevertheless, I'm all for punching the s**t out of anyone that attempts to touch you.

Sometimes, violence is the answer lol

 

These people at pride winge about equal rights then complain when they finally get one lol. That fall was so exaggerated and fake you could've fooled me into thinking this was a soccer match, then she curls up into fetal position to whimper like a slapped child. Jonathan is an awesome person, I know 2 people who worked for him as analysts that have near exclusively positive things to say (which is a LOT for a Moelis senior banker), which I'll admit biases me and causes me to give him immediate benefit of the doubt. I would still bet $1,000 without a second thought that this clip is missing context, cropping out the entire build up to just be framed as "bad rich white man hurts innocent black woman at pride for no reason 😲". Calling bullshit. You seriously think the guy with the camera just happened to turn it on RIGHT BEFORE he tees off? Not a doubt in my mind she probably instigated it - if she randomly just threw a drink on him (not at all unbelievable for NYC) that's assault and a face slap is getting off easy.

Also, what's going on with the people on the ground in the background? Just too much weirdness here to come away from it with him being the only person at fault.

LMAO mods removed a comment saying anti-semitic terrorist sympathizers don't deserve sympathy. Aight then.

Yeah that's wrong.

If someone throws a drink at you then that sucks but whatever. You just need a change of clothes.

If you're a man throwing a right hook at a woman you can easily knock her out. That can easily cause a concussion or worse (her head could slam on the concrete or something).

Giving someone brain damage because they made you a little wet isn't cool.

It's not a proportionate response in force and it's pretty clearly a massive judgement error by him. 

 

This guy is literally THE MD at Moelis you should pray to god you work for over all the others. He's a wonderful man who treats his analysts better than most banks on the street, by far the best of all the ones at Moelis based on anecdotes I've heard.
