The video was posted by one of the guys that beat up the security guards. He also tweeted and included the tags of all of his buddies that were there helping him out. Amazing how dumb some people are.
Also entertained that his helmet fell off in the scuffle. That will obviously provide the required protection in a crash. (insert sarcasm face here).

Two guards were viciously attacked outside a Hamilton mall earlier this week in a video-recorded altercation that left one guard with stitches and a concussion, said the chief operating officer of a private security firm.
Hamilton Police confirmed Thursday they are investigating the incident, which took place just before 4 p.m. on Labour Day at the York Blvd. and Park Ave. N. entrance to the Jackson Square Mall.
The brawl, which involved three young BMX bike riders battling with two security guards, was video recorded and it has been posted on several websites, including the Facebook page of someone who may have been involved.
“I’ve seen the video, and I know the police have seen the video as well, and I know that they are looking for the individuals to lay assault related charges,” said Chris Botting, the COO of Intelligarde Security. “Our guards were responding to complaints from mall patrons that there were people ... riding their bikes in the food court ... (The guards) said there’s no bikes allowed in the mall, (and) the guys did not like that and got verbally aggressive.”
The people on the bikes eventually left but came back to complain and continue to video record what was happening, Botting said.
“The one guy had his phone out and they were looking for a fight to video it and put it up on the Internet,” said Botting, adding that the brawl happened shortly after the three were escorted outside.
Police were called to Jackson Square for an “assault in progress” and that a group of males had been asked to leave the mall for riding bikes inside the building. The group became “verbally aggressive” and that a struggle ensued later, Hamilton Police said, but no names were provided of those being sought.
Staff Sgt. Michael Spencer said police are still investigating.
The video of the brawl was posted on the Facebook page of a male who identifies himself as a BMX rider.
The video shows a male outside the mall entrance who, after being told to leave the property, shouts at the guards and walks towards one of them. The brawl broke out after the guards try to subdue him. The video shows the same person punch one of the guards in the face.
“I see my friend on the ground getting knees to the ribs ... my only instinct is to help him,” the male writes on his Facebook page.
The self-described resident of Toronto boasts of the video being posted on World Star Hip Hop, a site featuring fight footage.
He did not respond to requests for comment.
On the YouTube posting someone writes below the video that while the BMX bikers were being escorted from the mall, “the shorter security guard was talking s--- the whole time ... (and) shoved me for no reason.”
Botting said the injured guard was treated in hospital and released.
Hamilton Police say they are looking for three suspects, all between 15 and 19.
