YouTuber Rescue You Hit with Rock at Madrid's Sol Camp

YouTuber Rescue You Hit with Rock at Puerta del Sol Camp

Around the 2:19:20 mark of his own video, after being confronted and called a fascist, YouTuber Rescue You was hit in the head with a rock in the middle of Puerta del Sol. Minutes earlier, at 2:13:00, he was interviewing a protester holding a beer who, according to the account shared on the forum, had been sending him hostile messages on social media for weeks. It was all recorded by the creator himself, who walks through the camp with a camera.

What Peine at the Puerta del Sol Camp

The sequence is not an isolated incident. The video shows groups of participants chasing the YouTuber through the square and threatening him. Behind them, a huddle of Hare Krishnas and onlookers watch the scene as if it were just another spectacle. At one point, an older man—referred to as 'the grandfather' in the recording—comes to Rescue You's defense when a group warns him not to talk to someone they consider an enemy. This is the most uncomfortable gesture for those demanding unanimity: there is at least one dissenting voice in the square.

The housing protest camp became a place where an outsider's camera was unwelcome. A few minutes after he started recording, the YouTuber was singled out and chased. The rock came later.

Supply and Demand as Heresy

The video also captures an economic discussion that summarizes the divide. A protester denies the law of supply and demand. Rescue You responds with the most basic example: if that were true, why does an apartment cost much less in Zamora than in Madrid? The interviewee's answer—that those are 'fantasies'—ends any further exchange. Before the assault, another participant utters a phrase that the YouTuber himself amplifies: 'In the USSR, everyone had housing.'

This is not isolated rhetoric. According to this account, the problem with prices is not scarcity or supply, but political will. Any argument appealing to construction or land clashes with this premise.

Build More or Redistribute What Exists

The slogan that, according to several participants in the thread, is repeated in the square is that more housing should not be built. In contrast, the opposing reasoning points out that growing demand without increased supply drives prices up. The disagreement is not about the symptoms, but about the diagnosis and, above all, the remedy.

Some argue that the issue would be resolved by building housing on a large scale, while others respond that the underlying problem is different, concerning distribution and ownership. This difference explains why a simple question about Zamora and Madrid sparks anger.

At the end of the video, after the rock incident, the thread mentions that a shaman has healed him. In between, comments about what is happening in the square appear throughout the thread.
