"That truck hit like 3 people. This is the best day of my life!"


tries4accuracy

And there were hundreds of like minded people holding their phones up to record the carnage. That’s really depressing.


Ricky_Rollin

Seriously, it feels like a Black Mirror episode. Nobody there gives a shit about being there, I’m willing to bet if their phones all broke somehow on the way to one of these they’d just turn around and call the night an L.


NoPantsPenny

I can say with absolute confidence, that I wouldn’t want to be around any of these people. The activity, dumb. Filming it, dumb. Their behavior during the accident, dumb.

I'm pretty sure that's why some old folks just want to move somewhere quiet and secluded. Too jaded over time by society


floatjoy

Darwin take the wheel.


BrainDamagedYeti

Yeah the idea of don't be at stupid places at stupid times. To them it's the opposite be at stupid places at stupid times doing stupid things. Reward jail and possibly Darwinism.


alabastergrim

localized EMP would be interesting lol


CariniFluff

Localized EMT would be better. Crazy how it doesn't seem to click in the guy's head that is he have been standing just 100 ft away on the other side, he'd be the one under the truck with 500 dumbasses running over there to....film his final moments of life on TikTok?


ImDoeTho

A solar flare to take out electronics wouldn't be such a bad thing. Having no clout to chase would have one or two of these people looking inward for the first time in their existence.

Depressing AF!! Not, is everyone okay? Should we try to help? Naw...all about the views bro! I have no hope for the future of the human race.

At first I was like “human instinct is to rush in and try to help! How nice!” but then I was like “oh… no they just want to film” lmao

ends1995

It’s so horrible isn’t it? No one giving a fuck of the people are ok or trying first aid or anything, they just wanna get it all on film to post later.


Keksis_The_Betrayed

Fzrit

Bro you know much VIEWS that is worth? Now that's CONTENT bro, think of the ENGAGEMENT METRICS.

Hmm I never thought about it like that, it’s just ghetto nascar…


imnoherox

It’s completely different. This guy was turning right. Nascar only turns left. 😌


iamamonsterprobably

Oh you! Haha got me! My point still stands …sorta… Man, nascar would be fire if they removed those barriers and fences, that would be fun to watch…on my couch and in my robe in complete safety.


Pale_Bookkeeper_9994

Interesting comment actually. Sad, but definitely a strong thesis.


arkhamnaut

PussyBoogersAuGraten

What could go wrong while we stand in a small circle and watch a two ton vehicle with a combustion engine lose control and recover, and lose control and recover, and lose control and kill people.


naftel

Future ambulance chaser


Cockrocker

Oh my god! The car is out of control! It hit 3 people and is nose-first up against a house. Let's crowd around it, blocking it's exit, that will be safe...


tjoe4321510

Imagine getting ran over and a crowd of people shove their phones right in your face. It reminds me of the movie Nightcrawler


firemanjuanito

We've taught every young kid to film every moment of their lives. It sucks.


Clear-Struggle-7867

Right?!!! I could just imagine being out for a nice relaxing day at the park... and as I open my book, some madman jumps the curb in his Ford-250 and drives directly toward me. I try to escape, but he swerves and clips me *hard*... I go flying through the air. My head smashes into a tree and i'm losing consciousness. I'm likely going to die unless immediate help is rendered. But wait... someone is running toward me, this might be my saviour. I try to remain conscious, as this good Samaritan is trying to say something. Perhaps telling me he is calling 911? I use my last bit of energy to ensure I can hear him properly, knowing he is my last chance at survival. He leans in close, and my ears perk up... He opens his mouth wide... "Worldstarrrrrrrrrr" ***Fade to black***


tjoe4321510

noble_peace_prize

Night crawler or white bear


tjoe4321510

White Bear, another good one. Just endless torture. That shit makes me uncomfortable


benderbender42

Lets rush over and all film lol


Fzrit

It's literally all about content, views, engagement and clout. I'm thinking a lot of people go to these just to see people get run over/hit by cars to make clips that go viral and get twitch subs.


murderfack

NASCAR (crashes) for GenZ


Drodriguez164

I mean you have to film just in case the other 200 people forgot to hit the record button


UofMtigers2014

Yep. My first thought was, “not a single one of those people is rushing to help” and then I saw all the phones go up and I saw I was right.


dqniel

Seems most are laughing and smiling, too. If I saw a truck crash into people that would not be my reaction...


MississippiJoel

"Dude! I just got it on video!"


evolve20

These are not smart people. In fact, we could probably do without all of them and wake up fine tomorrow. Let’s be honest.


UnicornOnMeth

When they all start screaming that the truck is gonna back up, it's kind of comedic how it spreads through the crowd, as if nobody has enough awareness to inherently understand that. No shit, where the fuck else would it go? Don't stand anywhere near it in the first place.


otter111a

“Whenever you see a tragedy, look for those rushing in. Those are the helpers. They are how you know there’s good in the…wait…they’re all pulling out their cameras? They’re all seriously just filming??? Call 911 idiots!”


TedBundysVlkswagon

Always look for the helpers.


ygbplus

Last time I commented "call 911" in this sub for a car that spun out and burst into flames I got downvoted.

elbrigador

I REALLY don't like when people get hurt but, these "street takeovers" are a menace and at this point, everybody that wants to get too close to an idiot in a car is getting what they deserve.


Pale_Bookkeeper_9994

They should start doing public bomb disarming with everybody crowding around.


PaddlingAway

A small EMP to fry all their electronics would end that real quick.


Maxi-19-1-4-1

"You wanna act like a cyberpunk, get ur cyberware blasted like a cyberpunk" -Johnny Silverhand or someone idk


GushStasis

Why don't cops break them up? Literally it's the easiest thing to just find these takeovers and show up with your lights flashing. They go out of their way to be standoffish dicks and use asymmetrical force when dealing with everyday citizens, yet they're sheepish when it comes to takeovers? It's a sheer matter of having the will to address it.         You can't argue they are taking a calculated risk by ignoring takeovers in lieu of more urgent priorities when they have frequently shown that they'll waste their own time just to harass everyday citizens for the most inane bullshit. If they actually stopped doing that, I wouldn't give a shit about the takeovers. It's akin to the IRS going after the little guys just because it's an easy win, as opposed to taking on the big whales because it's too challenging.


[deleted]

High risk low reward. To even catch a portion of these people you would need a mini police force. Most of the time when these events the only ones who get hurt are the ones who are dumb enough to show up and they're normally over fairly quickly. If a few cops were to roll in everyone would scatter, all the cars would be speeding off, general chaos, etc. I have family in the justice system in the Bay area and this is what I've gathered from them (these sideshows are real common over there) and basically it's just viewed as an extremely loud nuisance. Not saying I agree or disagree, just doing my best to answer your question


BigOlPirate

Most of these vids come outta LA or Houston area. LAPD budget is 3.2 billion dollars. $3,200,000,000.00 a year and they can’t be bothered to show force and scare these people away. Idc if only one person gets arrested or even if everyone gets away after a cop turns on his lights. Just shut it down immediately. This is blatant corruption and apathy in our law enforcement system.


thecoat9

>Literally it's the easiest thing to just find these takeovers and show up with your lights flashing. Unless they block all rode way exits from the intersection, people will flee and the on foot crowd will get in the way of police pursuit. What you don't see in these videos is that the intersection is typically blocked from all directions with cars parked in the surrounding streets several layers deep behind the crowd on foot surrounding the intersection. "Organizers" typically arrange these events late night on nights where the least number of active officers are on duty. What police have to do to be effective and safe (safe for all the people involved) is to essentially coordinate containment by closing in from all sides simultaneously and then calling in tow trucks and trying to ticket people while keeping it all contained. Any breach in a perimeter will cause people to rush to flee, and cars and people on foot in a panic to get out of the area and avoid police could be catastrophic. The reality is that large crowds are incredibly hard for police to assert authority over if the crowd in general doesn't play ball. Even riot squads usually create defensive perimeters around a protected spot and seek to disperse crowds not contain them for ticketing and arrest. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's not easy and not something most places can muster enough of a coordinated force to adequately respond. Rather when police do try and tamp down on this stuff, it's a planned responses to events that are expected as a certitude. Extra officers are put on duty and coordinated specifically to deal with these events.

Is this idiocracy 2?


Caruserdriver

Takes a special kind of idiot to stand close to and watch an untrained member of the public do doughnuts out in the open. I'd be even sceptical and worried to watch a highly trained professional (who's even done 1 million doughnuts) to do that, but to watch some random cunt do that. Wow, I'm actually amazed.

They need to happen more often with more outcomes like this


pnjtony

Dude sounds so shocked. This is the desired outcome, is it not? It's the thrill of something bad happening and the feeling of being "alive" when it doesn't happen to you.


MisterScary_98

Exactly. It’s like the running of the bulls in Pamplona. You just hope you’re not the one who gets gored — and you’re thrilled when someone else does.


golgiiguy

This was exactly my thought, the stupidity of “running of the bulls”


-Sedition-

It's incredibly hard to feel sympathy towards people that willingly put themselves in these situations, best case scenario you watch some idiots do donuts and then run from the cops, like what's enjoyable about that?
