A Florida man celebrating the Fourth of July with his friends and family on New Smyrna Beach noticed two middle-aged women trying to make off with his tent canopy, beach chairs, boogie boards, and kids' toys. So he confronted them, with a cameraphone, and got an unexpected fireworks show.

"Is that yours?" the man asks the two ladies, who appear flummoxed as they try to break down his canopy and abscond with it.

"Yeah," one woman tells him, "but we don't know how to do it."

"Oh," he says, almost snickering. "You need some help?"

"Do you know how to do it?" both women ask him.

"Yeah," he says. "This is our stuff."

After a long, awkward pause, the ladies try to double down and claim the gear is theirs. "No," says the man. "It's all ours. All of it. The chairs, the bags, this is all our stuff... My kid's, yeah, that's my kids'. I'm sorry," he says, as the shocked women look at each other and try to figure out their next move.

"That's okay," he says, "we'll let it slide. I'm glad I made it [back] in time."

The ladies do not let it slide. Rather, they appear to assault him. One of the women yells at him for recording the event, chasing him to get at the camera, and appears to hit him. "Seriously?" he says, laughing, as the video cuts off.

I reached out to the man—who asked that we refer to him only by his first name, Rich—through a mutual friend, and he gave some additional background on the encounter, including what happened after the video cut out; it involves one of the women screaming at Rich, "I'll grab your dick!":
