Actor Danny Trejo was caught on camera getting into a heated fight at a 4th of July Parade. What had the actor seeing Red?

It appears that things got a little out of hand at a 4th Of July Parade in California. A video of Danny Trejo being held back by a big group of people is making its rounds on the internet. What got the actor so fired up? Let’s dive in.

Danny Trejo Gets Into Fight At A 4th Of July Parade

Danny Trejo still has a lot of fight in him at 80-years-old. Daily Caller reports that the altercation started when someone reportedly threw a water balloon at Trejo’s vintage car during the parade leading to a heated exchange. People were quick to get their phones out to record video of the incident. It seems like Danny did not want anything to touch his car and takes it very seriously!

Seriously, of all Hollywood actors to mess with, I think Danny Trejo would probably be at the very bottom of that list. The dude is intimidating! Those are, like, the only roles he plays! Have you seen Machete? I don’t want any of that smoke.

According to Daily Caller, Trejo and his crew reportedly got out of the car to go and confront the individuals they believed were responsible for throwing a water balloon at his car. Unfortunately, it seems like they got the wrong people! Bystanders had to step in to break up the fight (and remind everyone involved that there were children around). Additionally, I’m no Fight Judge, but I’d have to say Danny and his crew lost this one. Danny himself is seen on video throwing some punches (and even picking up a chair?) before getting dropped to the ground.

It’s a bummer when people behave this way at public events. How cool would it be to see an actor like Danny Trejo participate in your local 4th Of July Parade? It’s great that he chose to be a part of it and got out in the community, but now I doubt we’ll see that happen again. This is why we can’t have nice things!

Now, the incident has the internet divided. Some people are defending Trejo’s actions as justified. It was rude of anyone to throw a water balloon at someone participating in the parade. Especially with what I imagine is a pretty valuable car. However, others are calling it an overreaction to some harmless fun. What do you think? Check out the viral video for yourself below!

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

5 Fantastic Songs To Play While Watching Fireworks

What are your favorite songs to play while watching fireworks? It’s important to have a great playlist to set the mood while you’re enjoying the show!

The 4th Of July is coming up and it’s almost time to get out the fireworks to put on a dazzling show. Whether you light off your own display or attend a public gathering, you’re going to need a dependable playlist for the night. However, not every song is a good song for fireworks. Check out our list below!

What Are The Best Songs To Play While Watching Fireworks?

Everyone will have their own unique list of songs to play while watching fireworks, and to each their own. However, some songs are just better during fireworks. It’s the same where some songs sound better in the winter or when you’re sad. The same thing goes! There are many songs out there that are perfect for the 4th of July or anytime you feel like putting on a fireworks show.

Recently, we put together a playlist for the eclipse and I think this is sort of the same thing. It’s a unique experience and there are songs out that written and produced for this moment! Some songs literally have “fireworks” in the title, and sometimes that can be enough to make them good choices for a fireworks display. Other songs are patriotic and great for Independence Day.

It’s important to get a good variety on your playlist. You don’t want every song on the playlist to be titled “Fireworks.” Likewise, you don’t want a full playlist of super patriot songs. You need a good mixture! A rock song into something classic followed by something more pop is a good way to keep some diversity on your playlist and make sure you’re entertaining the entire crowd. People will have different tastes in genres and moods and you’ll want to make sure everyone is having a good time. Are there going to be kids in attendance? That will play a part, too!

Picking only 5 songs to play while watching fireworks was no easy task. There are so many out there that fit the bill! So, some quality songs you’re expecting to be on the list might have ended up on the cutting room floor. That doesn’t mean they aren’t good songs for the 4th of July, though! For example, Katy Perry’s “Firework” is probably a song you’d expect to find on the list. You won’t though. I’m not putting Katy Perry on any playlist, thank you very much.

What songs did we miss? Which ones would you add to your playlist? Check out 5 fantastic songs to play while watching fireworks below!

The Best Songs To Play While Watching Fireworks

  • "TNT" - AC/DC

    You can’t go wrong with AC/DC during fireworks. “Thunderstruck” would be another solid choice, but I think the most fitting has to be “TNT.” Why? Well, for obvious reasons. Fireworks are explosions and TNT is also an explosive. The two go hand-in-hand. This is a great pick for when the fireworks are just getting started. It will get everyone ready and pumped up for what they are about to witness.

  • "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)" - Fall Out Boy

    This Fall Out Boy hit is a must-add for your fireworks playlist. However, I don’t recommend you play a drinking game for every time they sing “Light Em Up.” Your night will quickly go downhill and you won’t remember the beautiful fireworks display and experience. This is a great pick for watching fireworks. They mention “light em up” 100 times and “fire” is also repeatedly mentioned. It’s a can’t miss for any 4th of July playlist.

  • "Star Wars (Main Theme)" - John Williams

    You’ve got to mix it up! Playing the Star Wars Main Theme is a great pick for while you’re watching fireworks. It’s different and unexpected but at the same time everyone will know it, recognize it, and appreciate it. It will make you feel like you’re in Star Wars! You can pretend the fireworks are the Death Star exploding or lasers during a fight. Let your imagination run wild! This would be a great song to hear during fireworks. You have to make it happen!

  • "Fireworks" - The Tragically Hip

    Around here we proudly support Canada and our neighbors to the north. That’s why we have to show respect to The Tragically Hip. They’re one of the most iconic Canadian bands and we will tolerate no disrespect. We recently shared a story about a the band releasing what’s been described as the ‘Holy Grail Of Unreleased Tracks‘. However, my favorite song of theirs is still “Fireworks” and there’s no better time to play it than the 4th of July. Add it to your playlist, you’ll understand.

  • "God Bless The USA" - Lee Greenwood

    There were many different directions we could have gone with this 5th and final pick. I thought about “Fireworks” by Animal Collective. That’s always one on my list, but I don’t think it would be appreciated or enjoyed on majority of people’s playlists. I mulled some pop songs but couldn’t pick one. Instead, let’s go with something patriotic! It’s the 4th of July and the best time to pay respect to the beloved Red, White, and Blue. I thought this song would be the best during a fireworks display. It’s soft but impactful and everyone can sing along.
