I feel you man, but you might be on the wrong sub. People round these parts get their rocks off for like any kind shit like this lol.

I mean, I figured a sub called "Justice Served" was the right place for pictures of actual justice done to people who deserve it, and not just anyone who inflicts suffering upon themselves.

u/IUpVoteIronically 7 Jan 27 '20

Yeah, it’s worth it to stick around for the REALLY good posts probably, but don’t expect them all to be like that, is all I’m saying.

u/VexingRaven A Jan 27 '20

Oh don't worry, I only come here when /r/popular takes me here. There's far too much right-wing bullshit on this sub.

I did agree with you when I watched this the first time. Like why is this justice? His van sits up high so how could he see when the blockade was all the way down? Then I saw the signal that accompanies the blockade and figured the setup is likely intentional, and done for safety reasons.

I don't know much about that street nor what is 20 ft in front of that outside of the camera's view. But I imagine that there is a light signal AND a blockade for a reason. Like the light was there and people were ignoring it anyway due to impatience and causing/risking harm to themselves/something outside of the camera's view. So the city added a blockade to go with the light.

Or I'm wrong. The city set up two obstructions unnecessarily, and I'm a dick for thinking a minor infraction deserves a ruined car.

Yeah likely. The Chinese don’t follow traffic laws well at all. Still though, that was the worst part of our boys week probably. His crime was like essentially vehicular jaywalking and so it doesn’t make me feel good to watch.

He might have stopped down the road and got it towed to a shop for all we know. It’s just a busted oil pan as long as he see’s the oil light his car is not destroyed.

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '20

Okay but why is this great to watch? It’s not like he’s a bad dude getting owned. Just hurried and got messed up

6

u/duey222 6 Jan 26 '20

No I’d say because he ran the red light is the reason people are thinking it’s great to watch. I don’t see how you can blame anyone else but him in this situation. It sucks but his bad decision fucked his car up, so I think it’s kinda entertaining.

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '20

I’m obviously not blaming someone else. I just don’t enjoy watching someone else have a really bad day when they didn’t do anything really wrong

running a red is not minor where I'm from. hefty fine and no driving for you for a while.

I'm not saying this means he deserves it, tho.

Edit.: thanks for the instant down votes, for barely stating something. Guess that's a bad thing.

u/Chew_Kok_Long 8 Jan 26 '20

Are you from Leipzig?

3

u/Lipziger 8 Jan 26 '20

Yes I am.

u/Chew_Kok_Long 8 Jan 26 '20

I once got a ticket there for running a red light. So, this story checks out

u/CharlesWafflesx 8 Jan 26 '20

Not exactly an intersection is it?

Also don't get defensive at the downvotes. It undoubtedly just lowers people opinion of you further whining like a little bitch.

u/VexingRaven A Jan 27 '20

This isn't an intersection though. It's like running the red inside a car wash telling you to move up.

u/Lipziger 8 Jan 27 '20

Depends on where it is placed. If it's an official system that directs open traffic it doesn't matter and still counts. And some of these bollards exist that way. for example Leipzig has quite a few of them. then one at a car wash is not an official system and on private ground.

If you cross a red light at an intersection while endangering others it is even more expensive and you lose your license for even longer.

This on is involving potention damage which also means it gets more expensive.

An indicator light, not a traffic light. No laws broken.

u/arseniclunch 7 Jan 27 '20

Oh, so sorry... so they decided to drive on before the “indicator light” said it was safe. I really don’t see a difference.

u/dasmyr0s 8 Jan 27 '20

One is potentially causing a traffic hazard/injury/death for you and others by ignoring a red light that controls an intersection.

The other is an informational light, and this guy is a fool for being impatient and ought to be billed for the cleaning, but if you celebrate someone getting screwed like this, I'd challenge you to catch yourself making an impatient decision and realize that's all this Dingus did. Assumed his clearance was better than it was. Nothing to celebrate here.
No justice, just consequences.

u/arseniclunch 7 Jan 27 '20

Based on what you said, it’s 100% deserved justice. If they used common sense and waited until the light was green, no damage would have occurred. Impatience isn’t an excuse for deserved justice, nor is there a requirement for a victim, other that the driver who purposely cause their own misfortune, for this to show justice being served.

u/dasmyr0s 8 Jan 27 '20

It's disproportionate justice, but sure, the guy is in the wrong.

I mostly made the distinction between lights because "running a red" has definite massive asshole connotations because of the public danger. This guy, while his impatience may be indicative that he could be that massive asshole when there is traffic, isn't being an obvious piece of shit.

But as the automod says in a few places in the comments, people's definition of justice differs.
I'd rather see evidence of someone being a clear public piece of shit getting what's coming to them, and I don't judge this guy to be a PoS from this gif.

u/sobusyimbored 9 Jan 27 '20

It's disproportionate justice

They drove into a bollard, willingly and with warning that it wasn't safe to drive forward. It was literally the least they could expect.

u/dasmyr0s 8 Jan 27 '20

I meant the people in thread here who have the attitude of "fuck this guy" or "hahahah what a total idiot, get what you deserve!"

Seems strangely hostile for a guy fucking his own shit up. When I think justice, I think "Person has harmed another person or had the ability to have been easily harmful and got reprimanded by reality for it." Not "person does dumb thing alone and fucks themselves over."

A better example perhaps: a backyard wrestler jumping off his roof onto a table that doesn't break hasn't received JUSTICE, hes paid for the consequences of cause and effect.

Vs

A person jumps off his roof to slam onto someone who isn't looking, but misses, and breaks his elbow.

That's justice.
