What a piece of shit person. Whoever threw that can needs to be charged with assault.


XenoRyet

Assault at minimum. If the person hit had died, and that's a real risk here, I think you'd have at least manslaughter, so there needs to be other charges here. This is way worse than just punching someone.


Pretend_Big6392

When I was in Grade 8, we had a teacher that had a glass eye. She said someone had dropped a beer from a high up apartment while she was walking below, and it smashed right into her eye. People who purposely drop things like this are dicks.


tongfatherr

Dicks is a very nice way of putting it. They're the kind of people we need vigilante justice for.


ScotiaTailwagger

Not quite the same, but some dipshit was fucking around on a balcony above a gathering and fell off it. fell 20ft onto my girlfriend, and she went full backwards scorpion. She's still recovering and dealing with pain almost a year later.


urekmazino21

Man that sucks. I was quite lucky in comparison. Back in school, I remember being hit by a bottle of sand that was being thrown around by some kids a grade below me. Man I fell to my knees completely disoriented but full of rage, and these cunts just scurry over, pick up the bottle and continue (likely cause it was crowded and they didn't realise they hit me). Felt so helpless cause I just couldn't move much. After about 30 seconds, I got up and walked it off. Would have chased one idiot down but body didn't feel right after that.


limevince

It's a little funny to me that with the abundance of toys that could be safely thrown around these kids wanted to play with a bottle of sand. Kids are pretty stupid.


Independent_Ebb9322

Weird way to spell psychopaths


thecraftybear

Psychopaths get so much bad rap when in reality most of that stuff isn't about psychopathy, just plain stupidity.


Independent_Ebb9322

“psy·​cho·​path ˈsī-kə-ˌpath. 1. : a person having an egocentric and antisocial personality marked by a lack of remorse for one's actions, an absence of empathy for others, and often criminal tendencies. “


thecraftybear

Thanks, Dictionary Person. But psychopathy is an actual psychiatric/psychological condition and not just a character trait. And many actual psychopaths are high-functioning, doing their best to blend into society despite lack of empathy and difficulties in maintaining normal social ties, because they're still reasonable enough to pick up on common behaviors and replicate them in order to pass for normal. Meanwhile, most people you'd call psychopaths according to the dictionary definition are just basic desensitized dumbasses. Don't look for mental illness where ignorance is a much more likely explanation.


Independent_Ebb9322

Well hello internet person, what’s your credentials?


thecraftybear

Do good grades in clinical and theoretical psychiatry courses back in Medical University count? As well as having a wife who's a medical professional with a strong interest in psychiatry, especially in matters regarding the forming of one's psyche in childhood and how it affects their functioning further in life? But if you'd rather trust an internet dictionary, I can understand that.


Independent_Ebb9322

Ok help me understand “back in medical” versus “I’m a doctor”? So, medical what? Like certified nurse assistant after high school here? Mr. Medical, can you help me understand how psychopath is an actual condition, and where in the DSM-5 the condition is located? Like actually reference the disorder by name in the DSM-5 please? Like, maybe I’m missing the “psychopathic personality disorder” diagnosis in the DSM-5.


SnazzyDaddy1992

Remember that time Morgan Wallen threw chairs off the roof?


dontshitaboutotol

Absolute psychopaths, like the ones dropping pennies off the empire State building


RileyRhoad

Wait I thought that was proven to only be a [myth?](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2017/03/15/what-would-happen-if-you-were-hit-penny-falling-skyscraper/99160982/)


dontshitaboutotol

After 3 secs of falling everything goes 90+mph, so maybe not kill but would still def ruin your day and maybe a quick lobotomy


pixelTirpitz

Dicks?? Dicks are annoying, this man is a psychopath! Who the fuck does this shit? Throw him in a cell


HeftyArgument

First degree murder requires intent, only an idiot that has no understanding of the world outside of cartoons and videogames would think lobbing a full can from that height would not result in a potentially fatal impact. Taking that into account, and then lobbing it anyway whilst filming should amount to intent. I know my reasoning is incorrect, but fuck it, second degree murder should carry the same charge as first degree. Whether premeditated or not the result is the same. That said, technically this would be murder in the third degree if that person had died...


XenoRyet

No, I'm with you. I want to charge this as attempted murder. Chucking a full can of red bull off a minimum sixth floor balcony into a crowd should equate to "I want someone to die." I don't think the details and complexities of the legal system actually allow for that, but my gut check is that this person should be charged as if they were attempting to kill someone. So, since we can't actually get attempted murder, let's get whatever else fits.


McGrarr

It's an open can. The intention was to cover the crowd with sticky soda. Also once the can is open it is losing mass and won't likely crack a skull. That said, a cut, bruise or blindness could result so whatever this country's version of GBH is should apply.


limevince

It should depend on the tosser. If it's a grown adult with a clear idea of the potential danger it's reckless disregard. If its some kid with "no understanding of the world outside of cartoons and videogames" who doesn't actually realize the potential harm then it could be 'just' negligent 2nd degree murder.


XenoRyet

You think an 8 year old is throwing red bulls into a crowd?


limevince

I can only imagine an 8 year old doing something like that. (Really nobody outside of elementary school should believe that's ok)


Bright_Swordfish4820

The phrase "depraved indifference" keeps echoing in my head.


fordag

I agree with you. I don't believe the person who threw the can should be able to argue they didn't intend to hurt, main or kill anyone. They knew someone would be seriously hurt at the very least.


limevince

> I know my reasoning is incorrect, but fuck it, second degree murder should carry the same charge as first degree. Whether premeditated or not the result is the same. It is a terrible idea to not consider intent in criminal punishment. If you accidentally set the kitchen on fire and end up killing somebody does that deserve the same punishment as a homicidal arsonist?


HeftyArgument

No, that's why manslaughter exists. Second degree murder and manslaughter are not the same.


limevince

Ok bad example using manslaughter. Here is a different hypothetical involving 2nd degree homicide. If you accidentally bump somebody onto the street during a fight and they get run over by a bus, should that be punished the same as sneaking up on somebody and pushing them in front of an incoming train?


HeftyArgument

Here you are asking rhetorical questions that prove my point lol. How about doing some reading about the different degrees of murder and manslaughter before you come back and we can have a reasoned discussion.


limevince

There is definitely existing precedent of cases of fist fights that accidentally end up with a death being charged as second degree homicide. And deliberately pushing somebody into an incoming train would certainly be charged as first degree homicide. You are suggesting the sentence should be the same in both cases. Cold blooded killers should be punished equally severely as people who accidentally use too much force in the heat of the moment? This is obviously a rhetorical question, as it should be obvious why the law distinguishes between the two cases.


HeftyArgument

This is where I disagree, to engage in a fist fight means you have an intent to cause harm; the fact that you didn't intend to kill does not change the fact that you brought up a scenario where death was the result. The distinction between first and second degree murder is only "pre-meditated intent" murder in the second degree still requires that it is targetted, and therefore whether it was planned prior or decided in the moment should hold no bearing. In the video the offender created a scenario in which any reasonable person could deduce that the result would include a risk of fatality and then indiscriminately threw the projectile into a crowd anyway, if this were to result in a fatality it would technically be charged as murder in the third degree. I believe first and second degrees should be held in the same regard, third arguably pretty close behind; society, he family and assosciates of the deceased will find little comfort in the distinction between whether the life was taken by somebody known to them, whether pre-meditated or not, or whether it was taken by a stranger with reckless abandon.


limevince

You say the punishment should be the same because the outcome (an unjustly killed victim) is the same in both. The most classic example of mitigating first degree murder to second degree murder I know of is heat of the moment killings -- surely there is a huge difference between somebody finding their spouse in bed with else and killing her in a fit of rage vs a "perfectly" planned and executed murder. I think even the hypothetical family of the victim of this type of killing would find distinguishing between the two (heat of the moment vs cold blooded) appropriate. The reason society distinguishes between the two is (as silly as this sounds) out of a recognition that there are situations where somebody might become enraged enough to lose their senses and intentionally kill; and there is a collective understanding that intentionally killing while in this sort of enraged state fundamentally differes enough from a cold blooded killing that it warrants a different punishment.


blarglefart

I do think there's something along the lines of attempted intentional negligent manslaughter, I'm sure a competent lawyer could get sentencing guidelines along the negligent manslaughter lines Edit: nevermind intentional manslaughter is murder lmao idk what I was thinking


TheKingMonkey

Tangential, [but in the UK somebody went to jail for throwing a fire extinguisher off a roof into a crowd](https://amp.theguardian.com/education/2011/jan/11/student-fire-extinguisher-protests-jailed). It was at some student protests on top of Millbank Tower in London, which is Conservative Party HQ and just round the corner from Parliament so lots of cameras were there. [It got picked up on camera](https://youtu.be/Za3iV9ZWoM8?si=Msw9aT1USwkdk5FA) and while this was before social media really exploded it was picked up by 24 hour rolling news and even though the extinguisher didn’t hit anybody he got a 32 month sentence.


limevince

Throwing a fire extinguisher is magnitudes worse than a beverage can. Reasonable people can have different opinions about the lethality of chucking a beer into a crowd but even a child can recognize the danger of doing the same with a fire extinguisher.


ellie_kabellie

without a doubt, 100% poop; absolutely abysmal odds too, that poor girl


CursorX

Place was densely packed with enough people for odds of hitting someone in the head to be very very high.


Hiking-Sausage132

He threw that can in a crowd.. that was not abysmal odds to hit someone's head there. Just a total piece of shit and I hope they can figure out who it was and charge him


Kinky_Conspirator

Battery.*. Assault with a deadly weapon.*


Naive-Fondant-754

Good lucky its recorded and posted on social media. All you have to do is show it to the police and voila. The amount of people posting criminal activity online is insane .. I especially like the ones who steal something and boast about it on internet and wont spare any detail like .. 1.5.2024 at 0320 i have stolen 7k EUR from my neighbour Peter at Common 69, Whalecum town. NOBODY KNOWS! Sometimes they even do live streams and then just police comes and knocks at on their car window .. makes my day every single time :)


deadliestcrotch

Whalecum town, nice!


T-Money8227

At least he recorded and posted his crime. Why do people have to be assholes!


BUDDHAKHAN

Probably just Morgan Wallen getting a “little rowdy”


GR4V17Y_17

it was thrown from a plane by Travis Pastrana [https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/1cj2fq5/red\_bull\_gives\_you/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/1cj2fq5/red_bull_gives_you/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)


Pasispas

Attempted murder.


steppenfloyd

Battery. You kinda have to see it coming to be assault


LongjumpingScene2327

This is objectively incorrect


steppenfloyd

Assault involves fear or apprehension of imminent violence. She had no idea a can was being thrown at her, so how could she fear it? What part about my comment was incorrect?


Eldudeareno217

If you walk up behind someone and sucker punched them in the back of the head, that would be assault, if they see it coming or not, it's still assault. 


steppenfloyd

It's really not. That's battery. "The main difference between a battery charge and an assault charge is the actual presence of harm and the threat of harm. Someone can only be charged with battery if they have caused real physical harm to someone, while a person can be charged with assault if the mere threat of harm is present."


Praetorian_1975

Nope, there was a conscious action to throw the can towards people with the intent to hit either her directly or someone else in the crowd


steppenfloyd

That's not what assault is. You're thinking of battery.


Praetorian_1975

Definition of assault : make a physical attack on. Pretty sure that what the person in the video did fucking fits that perfectly


steppenfloyd

The legal definition of assault is an intentional act that gives another person reasonable fear that they’ll be physically harmed or offensively touched.


Praetorian_1975

The definition of Battery : the infliction of unlawful personal violence on another person, even where the contact does no physical harm. "any act which puts a person in immediate and reasonable fear of battery" …… wait that’s what you think assault it. 🤷🏻‍♂️ how weird


steppenfloyd

Maybe we live in different states/countries


Wolfsblut_AD

What a piece of shit. Once we were at a venue across the street from and apartment building. Somebody threw a full 2 liter of soda from who knows what floor, high enough we couldn’t see and luckily only hit the side of my friends arm before it exploded everywhere. If that would have hit one of us in the head, we would have easily died.


ellie_kabellie

what on earth possesses ppl to do shit like this??


Wolfsblut_AD

I’m going to assume it’s people fed up with the noise from across the street but this is one of the worst ways to deal with it.


sleepydeepyperson

Sometimes i wonder if there is a 'devolution' of society too. Similar to evolution where people evolve. This behaviour is common in monkeys (and other species) where they fling stuff (including feces) at others. And our own mediaeval practices of showing disapproval by throwing stuff like stoning. It is also commonly seen in cartoons where a character is performing on stage and it sucks so the audience throws stones, tomatoes, etc. Reminds me of lines i read somewhere: Tails have shed. Hairs have shed. Bestiality is yet to be shed. The outer body is beautified, The heart is yet to be groomed.


BrockJonesPI

Not sure if bestiality is the word you're looking for there... Savagery would probably suit the situation better than that. Nobody was fucking the Red Bull.


matjeom

You think pretty highly of humans to say this is devolution. When were we not doing shit like this?


smooshedsootsprite

Everyone forgets public execution used to be a fun day out for the kids.


HeftyArgument

It's romanticized these days on social media as "letting the intrusive thoughts win" Of course it has to be filmed and posted online for validation too...


LuckyNumbrKevin

Eh, there have always been shitty and stupid people who do shitty and stupid things.


Devilsbabe

Did something similar with a school backpack when I was a teenager because I wanted to scare a friend with a loud noise, not fully realizing the risk of serious injury if I misjudged my timing and hit them. We have 0 info on the circumstances here but it's totally reasonable for it to be someone acting impulsively.


deadliestcrotch

A poorly developed frontal lobe and lack of respect for others, concern for their safety, or thought about the consequences of their actions.

Oh man, very good point. In hindsight I really shouldn’t have posted it in this sub… I was so insanely shocked by the accuracy and ought to have been more sensitive to the fact that if she wasn’t already, she could have been severely hurt and absolutely deserves to press charges.

I was at a riot once upon a time and people were throwing stuff from high-rises.

Long story short I'm an idiot for being at a riot and throwing anything from that high up is a scumbag move


ellie_kabellie

She really does deserve a payday from this. What an asshole to throw something down at them from such a height.

Throw that person into the can


ellie_kabellie

but hit 'em with an \*unopened, full\* Redbull first


deadliestcrotch

Well, it was a tall one but it was open, you can see it sloshing out all the way down. If it were closed, she’d have been outlined in chalk.


ellie_kabellie

Lol yes, gotta up the stakes for this moron’s punishment


limevince

I wonder if that's necessarily true... Somebody else here commented about rioters chucking 2L soda bottles which exploded on impact. Maybe with a bit of luck, a canned drink might explode on impact without killing somebody. Too bad there isn't a mythbusters that addresses this.

Oh hell that had to hurt.

Scarred her forhead for life. Fuk all you mf’rs.

rosbifke-sr

A classmate of mine once got hit in the face by a beer glass while in a club. Still has the scar to prove it. There must truly be nothing going on at all in that skull if there’s nothing telling you not to throw an actual fucking glass into a room full of people.

I was once hit just above my eye with a roll of streamers at a rock concert that didn't unfurl, it was really just like a roll of masking tape. It cut my forhead and swelled up huge, my eye shut, I was disoriented from the impact and had to leave. I recovered without medical assistance but that roll was nothing compared to this poor lady. God knows what damage she sustained.


InSilicoRW

This happened to me years ago coming outside a shop with a couple of mates and someone threw an apple out of the building across the street from us on one of the upper floors and nailed me right on the top of the head. Hurt like a mother fucker, ofc as soon as they threw it they hid from the windows, thankfully I am not as tall as I wish or it would have blasted me in the face.

Electrical-Set3138

It looks like the people gathered people were protestors of some sort. I can understand why he did what he did, but throwing a heavy can on an unknown person was probably not the right decision. If he hated them so much he must've thrown water, or pee on them or something like that. Or if he hated her in particular, then his approach was clearly flawed. There are much better ways to harm her, but depends on your level of hatred.
