Wow. There’s nothing quite like that feeling when inspiration strikes. Sir Isaac Newton felt it when an apple came crashing on to his head, and this dude felt it while watching this Michael Jackson impersonator tear shit up on the dance floor.

Except things didn’t really turn out as he expected.

Leaping on to the chair in hopes of upstaging this gloved dancer, the man fucks up this backflip and probably his spine. Let’s hope he makes it through this one alive because they carry him off and it definitely seems like he’s dead.

Riots broke out in Baltimore on Monday following the funeral of Freddie Gray, with people looting shops, fighting each other and setting fires across the city in what CNN is describing as a “war zone.”

But not everyone is causing trouble.

Amid all the chaos, a Michael Jackson impersonator named Dimitri Reeves has been spotted dancing in the streets as part of a peaceful protest.

There are a number of different videos being passed around on social media of the guy blasting music and showing off his moves on top of a truck.

NBC reporter Shomari Stone posted the “Beat It” clip above on Twitter, and you can check out more of him below.

He’s also been retweeting shout outs from people thanking him for using his music to encourage peace and bring some joy to an otherwise dismal day.
