Lying atop this attack was Lyrica Anderson with a side-issued perspective on the airport brawl-gone-viral video. The singer-songwriter pours out her thoughts on this recent-most incident of an airline worker fighting with a passenger with a dose of humor, yet the harsh reality of workplace violence.

It showed the airline worker hitting the passenger first, and then second later he was slammed to the floor with a single counterstrike. In the caption for the Instagram post, Anderson wrote, “@pondlehocky taking cases right now. Any type and in any state.” She was clearly rooting for the passenger, but threw in a little lawyer witticism on the side.

Another commentary video has Anderson giving some real talk like only she can: “Number one, we don’t condone employees hitting clients or customers. But if you’re good at it, maybe pick on somebody your own size or if you’re going to hit them make a count.” Her deadpan delivery of a serious matter about workplace brawling just made it tenfold more hilarious as she concludes: “Long story short, he got the worst end of that. Got knocked out. That’s a work injury.”

The internet took away with that! One user cracked the joke: “What really would’ve been funny is if he laid his ahh on that conveyor belt,” creating multiple threads about the worker getting baggage-handled out of there. Another remarked, “He turnt redder than a beet,” which incited a great debate on whether they were talking about blood or just embarrassment.

While some were chuckling, other comments took the matter more seriously regarding legal nuances, one stating, “The customer has every right to sue the airline too, their employee assaulted me. Periodt,” stirring up a debate on liabilities, while another one feared, “Now people will be starting fights while they’re at work so they can sue the company.”

Race insinuations did not go unnoticed either. One comment read, “He deserved it!!!! Of course, the white man is always looking to get paid for what he initiated!!!! Typical!!!!!” Others meanwhile set their sights at the worker’s failed attempt at tough-guy image: “He thought he was hard cause he lifts weights😂😂😂😂 this isn’t the WWE fat boy😂😂.”

What Anderson’s posting is hitting into the universal truth about this Internet culture: nothing quite brings people together like watching someone receive a spectacularly deserved humiliation. Whether you are team “employee deserved it,” or team “that’s an easy lawsuit,” this clip has something to offer to everyone. The singer’s laidback delivery and piercing analysis clearly demonstrate that she could transition into a professional fight analyst were this music gig not to pan out.

But the ultimate winners here are in fact those guys who recorded this on their phones; this international punch will certainly travel fast-once again into meme-dom. And alongside it will almost certainly be Lyrica Anderson dishing up teargassing from the catastrophes: legal analysis, WWE analogies, and everything in-between have turned this into instant viral folklore. Just remember, if you plan to throw a punch at work, better be able to back it up. Else, sketch out some solid health insurance.
