he s choking him right here. hes he turning purple. the most shocking part of the video to me was when alejandro started turning purple because that s when you knew it was serious and he could have passed out, and the frustrating part about it is was he couldn t communicate to the guy to stop, even though he was trying to communicate with him. you could see alex in the video clearly motioning with his hand to the security guard, i m taping out, kind of like the universal sign that all guys know when they wrestle with their dads and everything, when you re pinned and you re giving up. bystanders start to gather as alejandro struggles to get out from under the security guard s grasp. the crowd was fairly big. there were at least 100 of us watching. after almost two minutes, one witness attempts to step in, but he is held back by a third security guard. nobody else steps in to help.
