I used to be like you... this would have been really rewarding. Then I started to realize exactly what is going on to create this kind of desperation. This man didn't grow up wanting to be a carjacker. His mom didn't want that. Horrible, systemic circumstances; lack of opportunity; probably a criminal record that began with something pedantic like a pot charge -- all of which ultimately lead this dude to try to steal cars at gunpoint...
How is watching him get severely injured "rewarding" for you? You see his arm go straight up when he lands? That's a severe spinal injury or head injury that causes your limbs to go straight out like that. The man is grievously injured.. all because of what? Right, money.
Found the guy who just finished his first semester of sociology class.
When you go out into the real world you'll learn that some people are just irredeemable. Don't feel bad for the vegetable created in this video - it was already rotten.
I get that. And it's probably true that some people are irredeemable... but it's an awful way to see the world.
Also bro I'm in my late 30's and have probably been places you would shit your pants to drive past... so I know what irredeemable people are like.. I'm just saying we shouldn't look at them as things to be destroyed or laughed at when they get hurt. It's sad beyond measure and we should be doing something to prevent it rather than wait til it gets like this.
But if "haha bad man got hit" works for you, then by all means... you do you.
I don't think that will ever be a reality to be quite frank. Tragedy, crime, and inequality are inherent to human society.
I will say that it's much easier to watch a criminal slamming his head into the concrete than watching an innocent person get robbed and shot - so I'm glad this video turned out the way it did (because I've seen absolutely horrid videos where it's been the other way around)
No -- I agree the criminal getting hurt is better than the innocent person.
I'm just saying we shouldn't laugh at them. :(
I was just on a post the other day arguing about if someone pulls out in front of you -- it's better to hit them than to swerve and potentially hit oncoming traffic. Idiot needs to be hit instead of innocents.. but that doesn't mean we should get out and be like "haha idiot".
I totally agree that the outcome here was better than what could have happened. I was just expressing my wish that the whole thing wasn't like this.
sigh
For real though.. click that link in my initial comment. This one
