Hi guys, Ii am writing a paper for a class I'm taking right now and I need your help. It's a kind of sociology called Ethnomethodolgy which is devoted to basically microanalysing how people accomplish things that we kind of take for granted in life. An example would be.... when you walk through a door and there's someone who wants to go through, it's very rare that you bump into each other and it's very common that you avoid a collision and decide who's going through first without ever speaking to them. Another would be how you know when two people in the street know each other as opposed to just happening to walking close. Yuo know, right? You just know. How does that happen.
Well, I have to analyse a video and describe how people accomplish the stuff they do... and of course I went for a fight. I read as much academic literature as I could on how violent situations develop on a social level and believe me, YOU GUYS ARE WAY AHEAD. There is one book I can recomend to you all that I really think you'll enjoy though. Here it is:

It has a lot of good stuff that I think you guys will recognise his insights. Here's the attack, it's quite a famous British incident...

I am grateful for any analysis you have of the body language and the way the incident goes.
