Actor Danny Trejo Gets Into Fight At 4th Of July Parade After Spectators Threw Water Balloons At Him

Even though Danny Trejo is 80 years old, he's among the last people in the world any reasonable person should pick a fight with. Granted, he's not the largest dude on Earth, but he's just a scary dude. Unfortunately, some dimwitted, probably-inebriated dudes decided to antagonize the prolific, intimidating actor at a small Fourth of July parade. I guess they got what they wanted... https://twitter.com/BbveaBianca/status/1809069520394358820 The parade took place in the Sunland-Tujunga neighborhood of Los Angeles, as reported by TMZ . Like it's one thing to chuck water balloons at a celebrity and leave it there when you're politely asked to stop. It's another thing to keep doing it to the point of escalating the fabricated spat into a full-blown physical altercation. I wish I could say that Trejo knocked them all out, but he took the brunt of a blow once he appeared to land a decent left hook: https://twitter.com/MarioNawfal/status/1809072817583108460 https://twitter.com/hawkman_cards/status/1809220907728032039 I thought one of the key tenets of Independence Day was to celebrate the fact that 'Merica isn't fighting and is, in fact, a merry band of United States. At least for one holiday perhaps we could pretend like that's true, no? Yeah I guess that's wishful thinking when heavy drinking and ignorance are involved. Why can't these morons just be like regular folks and, say, kick back to watch the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest . Or keep whatever violent inclinations they have confined to their group of friends if they must trade blows on July 4th. Getting a rise out of an octogenarian is quite a low level to stoop to. Too bad this wasn't, like, 10 years ago. Then I'd have little doubt Trejo would've decked all these clowns. The man has had a colorful life to say the least, though. He went from reformed criminal to happenstance character actor who now owns multiple food businesses, is an author, and his filmography has about 250 credits on it between movies and TV at last count. Trejo also won multiple title belts as a boxer while he was in prison, per his IMDb profile . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-UBQFE0yCU Again, probably not someone you'd go out of your way to fight in the street unless you're an idiot. I mean, Trejo has starred in movies such as Machete, Machete Kills, Bad Ass, Bad Ass 2: Bad Asses, and Bad Asses on the Bayou . How many more implicit warnings do you need not to attack him in real life? Here's hoping Trejo recovers fully and speedily from this scuffle that put a damper on the holiday. At least he got up from that initial knockdown to throw a chair into the sea of stupidity that was the instigators.
