Gonna list a summary of all related events as far as I know just to make a take on this situation neutrally.
We have footage of Cog saying something along the lines of, "Pay me superchats and I will bring my friend to beat ralph up" Which coincidently happens on this trip.
We have footage of Cog stalking ralph and following him and making comments at him while doing so. He then on stream says he isn't going to press him now cause it's too public.
Suddenly Ethan Ralph Confront's Cog around the corner. Cog on the following stream admits he struck Ralph first after Ethan confronted him for stalking him.
Ethan presumably retaliates when suddenly muscle man dan comes in and we see where that goes.
I hate Ralph as much as the next guy but ya this does seem like a premediated stalking/assault. I don't know what shit will stick legally nor do I care, both of these people are shitty in my opinion. Ralph because of him being Ralph and Cog for deliberately assaulting Ethan essentially for internet clout and views. That's why he did this in the end. It's not like they both coincidently were streaming and bumped into eachother in a major city hub like New York just for the encounter to turn hostile.
Cog deliberately stated he wanted to go to Portugal to beat a man up when he essentially was on vacation (regardless on how we feel about said man, that's what he was doing, streaming a vacation) and because of this, and all the drama before, he deserves to be stalked and sucker punched by a british gorilla? Nah.
If you hate him because of all the stuff he's done in the past, fine. If you think he deserves to have a shitty life because he's a shitty person, fine.
Do I have to pat someone on the back and say goodjob because he flew out of his country on the promise to assault someone else on livestream, just for internet clout and money? No
I think this is just a clear example of what happens when United States white trash mingles with British white trash.
