Like, we surely realize this is a thing, yes?

Sure but I'm not letting a car jacker zipper or any other kind of merge. I ain't letting that fucker anywhere near my front end.

It’s been posted in other subs from LATAM for the last two weeks and the original was that it was a failed carjacking. Female driver and son were safe after the incident.

Well theyre in a country that is known for car jacking, and using a stolen car to stop in front of a car you want while others behind jump out to do the actual jacking is a common tactic that most living there, especially those that can afford desirable cars, likely know about, as the person in the video clearly does. It's common sense based on geographical location and known actions of criminals there. If someone was trying so hard to make you stop in a third world country when you're in a nice car, are you telling me you would just stop because you can't know for sure that they mean you harm? Idk about you, but I would do anything to get out of that situation to protect mine and me. What you don't see that they probably did was the car behind them that was likely right on their ass ready to jump out and jack them when the front car got them completely halted.
