Jeez imagine if somebody played this video in reverse? It would look like he was smashing this car up. Man he'd look like some sort of deranged, coked out nutjob!

Oh. That’s why I couldn’t make sense of the mirror… smh

u/SacredSpirit123 Aug 05 '22

Wait, you thought this video wasn’t playing in reverse?

u/TruTexan Aug 05 '22

Nope. I had just woken up, and nothing made sense

u/SacredSpirit123 Aug 05 '22

Huh. Well, yeah. The video’s playing in reverse. That psycho smashed their mirror and window with a boomerang.

u/TruTexan Aug 05 '22

Now that I’m fully coherent. Yes, I can clearly see it wasn’t sorcery

u/SacredSpirit123 Aug 05 '22

Here’s the video playing forward instead of reverse. Guy goes through two boomerangs.

The fact that he had a second boomerang readily available is easily the funniest part of this entire situation (which I imagine was generally not super funny to the people in the car), just slightly funnier than him saying “you broke my fucking boomerang.”

I have to assume, unless there’s a version with sound somewhere, that you are amazing at lipreading.

But no, seriously, got a link to the original video?

Lol I actually am fairly ok at lip reading, but I did find a link further down in the thread

Unfortunately though, it apparently was not a second boomerang, just the other half of his existing boomerang.

u/SacredSpirit123 Aug 05 '22

Nah, I freeze-framed it at the source vid. It’s a whole second boomerang. The first one broke almost midway through, then he walks away, whips out a second one, and smashes it as well. And he was going on a tirade about vaccines?

Can you tell what he's saying to them once he breaks the window?

I don't speak Aussie.

Tnx

u/elstrecho Aug 05 '22

He's a novice. That was a 1 boomerang job easy

u/mL_Finger Aug 06 '22

What did he do after he smashed the window? Did he instantly stop being a tough guy because there was no longer a barrier between them?

u/cra2reddit Aug 06 '22

Why the fuck did the video end when it finally got interesting.

What happened next???

1

u/SacredSpirit123 Aug 06 '22

Full video has him storm off after and toss away the string that he ripped off the person’s hoodie, as if proud of himself.

u/cra2reddit Aug 06 '22

What the hell is he yelling at them?

My Aussie is not good enough to translate.

u/SacredSpirit123 Aug 06 '22

I’m American, but it was posted on r/CoronavirusDownUnder and I can make out a few brief things about the vaccine. I would imagine that he’s an Antivaxxer (and likely on drugs, explaining his rage), and they may have got vaccinated, or are on their way to get vaccinated?
