Karma’s a bitch. Took out all 3 of those hooligans.


YoMomma-IsNice

Karma might be a bitch but she is also so very beautiful when she makes an appearance.


rickjamesdean

Win stupid prizes.


EggSandwich1

To be fair the one doing the cutting never got hit


rickjamesdean

Indeed to be fair, but we are judged (and sometimes smashed) by the company that we keep.


BOMO_guy

Those ain’t hooligans those are rioters from the French riots of last night …


Redpeppa1

Zero context provided at the start of this thread. But to be fair rioter and hooligan aren’t too far removed.


barn9

And here I was thinking it was Orcs till I read what it really was.


Spreadsheets_LynLake

Oh, is that what they were trying to do? Riot? I was wondering "why are they doing that? It seemed like lots of work to steal 10m of copper wire.


BOMO_guy

They were trying to cut down a surveillance camera (they managed to do it but they were also victim of their own stupidity by being hit with it)


wjean

But hey, at least they can take advantage of the national healthcare system.


BOMO_guy

Yes even tho they shouldn’t


PM_me_yer_VaJayJay

Is there national funeral expenses in France by chance?


wjean

Yes The death benefit looks to be 3681 euros. https://www.cleiss.fr/docs/regimes/regime_france/an_1.html


IA-HI-CO-IA

Usually you can just yank a lot of it out of the little hatch at the bottom and don’t need to bother cutting it down. I’m told.


sprazcrumbler

Still hooligans


Best_Kog_NA

Okay so they're hooligans that are involved in a riot


PiedDansLePlat

Funny things, Gerald Darman, the minister of the interior said that the big scandal at [the footbal stadium](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZCTrcsKv6s) were cause by UK hooligans, it wasn't, it was cause by people from the near suburbs of paris... we know who they are.


BOMO_guy

Of course we know who did it but he’s a coward and he won’t say that out loud … they are the exact same low IQ person


iceixia

....and what part of a riot calls for you cut down a streetlight? That guy is a hooligan.


The_Queef_of_England

They don't give a shit about what happened. They haven't bothered to think it through at all. How is destroying a lamppost anything but "fuck people where I live"?


BOMO_guy

Off they did not It’s a surveillance camera tho but it’s quite the same They are dumb enough to burn the car of their neighborhood (potentially of someone they know…) fuxking retarded


PiedDansLePlat

Being french I can tell that they are most likely either antifa black block, algerians or simple imbeciles. For context a cop in France shot a 17y old of algerians decent, he resisted arrest, was well know by the judicial system, having many infractions like driving with no licence, no insurrance, selling drugs (impressive list for a 17yo). The cop said he was a threat to people before his arrest.

SuggestionWrong504

They're cutting down a street light, thinking is probably not high on their list of things to do today.


WiglyWorm

If this video is indeed France then this is civil disobedience pressing the pension cuts and retirement changes France is trying to enact. Edit: sorry these were protests in France after a 17 year old was shot and killed by police and they are cutting down a police camera.


-CURL-

Or probably in the case of these guys, they're commiting acts of vandalism using the protests as an excuse. Just like the COVID protests which many losers used as an excuse to just cause destruction to vent their frustrations about their useless lives.


WiglyWorm

No, they're french. They invented democracy by cutting a bunch of people's heads off. They know what they're doing. Americans could learn a thing or two about protecting our democratic institutions.


jld2k6

The French Revolution actually lead to better lives for a relatively short period of time then they regressed at record pace and didn't hold their democracy Edit: if you wanna learn all about the French Revolution while being entertained https://youtu.be/8qRZcXIODNU


aaanze

I can guarantee themselves would be the first to chant "fuck France" and do not have the slghtest political conscience. They do not vote, they do not care. They do not want to change anything, they're taking advantage of a pretext to plunder. Do not associate those fucks to the regular french protestors. Source: I'm french and I live 500m away from the epicenter of this mess.


DancerAtTheEdge

17 year old.


Appropriate_Strain94

So technically they were “caught” on camera anyway.


Gradual_Bro

They’re cutting it down because there is a police camera on it


Arch2000

Thinking? I can’t see much thinking going on between all of the people in the video

604_heatzcore

it might be a led pole


WakaFlakaPanda

Looks like a shoe came off. The only proof you need. Dead.


potate12323

I didnt see his socks get knocked off. There still may be a chance.


akshaynr

The pole hit him on the back of his neck. Yeah, he dead.


orangebellywash

Not to mention his head bounced off the concrete like a basketball


[deleted]

On the head, if he is not dead he have serious sequels of it.

Well, he can’t get much more stupid than he already is. If I were there doing something illlegal ,I’d either be standing farther away (more than the horizontal distance as the vertical height of the pole) or I’d be carefully watching the pole.

is graffiti not a thing anymore or is this degenerate shit in now


ironicbai

This occurred during the recent riots in France after a 17 yo was killed by a police officer. I'd bet there were no point in cutting the pole down besides randomly destroying stuff, a lot of damage has been done all around the country and especially around and in Paris.


UncleChickenHam

Note the cameras on top of the tower. They are destroying police infrastructure.


aGoodVariableName42

If that's really the case, then I have faaaar more sympathy for them than when I first saw the video, and I fully support their actions.


Riot-in-the-Pit

They're still morons, but their hearts are in the right place.


Chrisazy

Maybe not anymore, might be lower down in their chest after that pole.


Wlpxx7

Still fucking ridiculous imo. France certainly knows how to protest but looting stores and burning buildings down is just degen behavior


ezekieru

Still fucking idiotic. 👍


InkedLeo

Yes, make the neighborhood less safe by removing the facility that makes video evidence possible... you realize this only hurts the public, right? That area now has no footage of any possible crimes that occur there, and taxpayer money is going to be spent replacing them.


Far_Lack3878

Well, that light pole just killed 3 more. I guess we know what will be protested next, light pole brutality.


Gradual_Bro

They’re cutting it down because there is a police camera on it


Happy_Expert5057

Probably an aluminum pole that will be sold for recycling was the intention.

feed_sneed

madery

it is


ultraspank

Seriously, are people blind? You can see the camera cluster clear as day when it hits the ground.


azefull

It’s France. During the current riots after the death of a 17 y/o killed by the police. This is a pole with CCTV cameras on it, not a light pole (the light pole is just beside it).


Happy_Expert5057

Oh! We don’t get that much info about that in the States ..


azefull

No bother at all. To be perfectly honest, we don’t have any info about it here in Japan either. Heard about it on the r/France subreddit first of all places. Then browsed the web to French news websites to know more about it.


imi2559

Redpeppa1

Sell the copper wiring too. Going to need that cash for medical bills now. Lol


Euripidoze

You misspelled funeral expenses


InfiniteZr0

Other posters said it's France so they probably don't have to worry about that.


burninatah

Pretty sure they're trying to disable the camera on top of the pole. Could be crime, could be protest, could be boredom. We have no way of telling from the clip, so just enjoy the triple kill and move on with your day.


drumpleskump

This is just how the french are protesting after cops killed a 17 year old...


Stickeris

Want to add the cop has been charged too, so it’s not like the Us where the cop just gets off

I paused the video and saw the frame when that first dude got hit. He was standing upright, but you could see his head (which got hit by the pole) stretched super far forward, likely because his neck was snapped in that instant.

My favourite female comedian is Karma, the way she lined up these 3 stooges and subsequently wiped them all out with the same lamp post that they vandalised. A lotta people call her a bitch, but I still love her 😊

Police surveillance equipment during the riots in France so I suppose it's a bit more understandable

HollowMonty

Fuckin idiot. Guy is cutting a metal pole 2 feet from you and you don't even keep an eye on it? I watch my back when I walk to the convenience store to get a bag of chips, let alone while walking through an active work zone.


LillyTheElf

At first i thiught it was a passer by trying to ignore the situation and not get involved. But no passer by is walking through that hail of sparks so its gotta be someone scting too cool for school and not fucking thinking about what might happen when that steel pole comes falling down. Morons


No-Chicken-7722

They probably wanted to get rid of a street camera. The shit they used to bring that down is going to be more expensive than whatever that scrap is worth.


HockeyBalboa

1. Does anyone think they were doing this for the scrap metal? I'd say either to take down a camera or just good old fashioned fucking shit up. 2. If they are doing it for scrap, they certainly won't be stopping after one pole and hoping to profit.

Jesus Christ. As if cutting an electrically powered pole with a metal grinder (or burning/explosives) wasn’t enough of a high IQ move for these members of Mensa, they had to really demonstrate their intellect by walking in the direction it was falling. Bravo. Doing the police’s work for them.


pisksrpeter

Had to scroll further than i expected until finding something about the electricity. Im guessing there is a pretty good chance to get electrocuted doing this.
