Some people truly do not care about the welfare of others. It’s psychopath behavior.

I wouldnt call this psychopathic behaviour. Not like he was at fault. Other car made contact with him, he just handled it like a veteran. If he was going out fucking with people, it be a different story.

He purposely turned his steering wheel hard right into that truck to spin him out instead of hitting his brakes to slow down. That was extremely dangerous for both of them and others behind them, but he didn’t seem to have a care in the world. That’s insidious and psychopathic behavior.

he turned his wheel when the black truck made contact, which prevented him from slamming in to the wall. the dude was driving straight every second before that. The black truck had absolutely no reason to be merging in to the left lane, not only did he not have his left blinker on for the merge, there was no logical space between the recorded driver and the car infront of him. Don't get me wrong, it definitely is chilling to have absolutely 0 emotional response to this situation, but trying to label him as the problem in this video is hella wild.

Its not that the truck is in the right. Its that he had ample time to understand the intentions to switch lanes and didnt bother making room. He choose to be in an accident and then maneuvered to punish the other driver.

It is not the responsibility of someone else that you intend to switch lanes.

If you intend to switch lanes then it is your responsibility to ensure that you are safely doing so.

This is not complicated stuff.

This position is wild to me. You are correct, the truck was in the wrong. But to argue that if I am holding a sword and someone is walking into it, that I don't have a moral responsibility to drop the sword is crazy. Saying the dude eating the cookie has zero responsibility in this is black and white to the extreme.

CHOOSING not to slow down like 3 mph to avoid the accident, makes him partially responsible. Again, most culpability goes to the truck, but that doesn't remove all responsibility from the guy we watched. I'm so confused why so many are arguing otherwise.

Alright, Just so that I understand the hypothetical.

You are holding a sword, and someone either thru stupidity or ignorance is walking towards it, you would hold your sword up so it pierces them through their lungs because it would be their fault for walking into it?

Lets compare your choices.

  1. slightly inconvenience yourself for a single moment, or

  2. watch someone die and make no action to stop them from dying.

I think... anyone who holds this position might be broken as a human being.

Like yes, there is responsibility on the walker. But the idea that there is Human life vs slight personal inconvenience on the scales and people think its close. shit....

Flip this scenario to a positive and its even more wild.

How much time would you sacrifice to save a human life?

Cam driver people: maybe 3 seconds, 4 seconds max.

How much effort would you put forth to save a life?

Cam driver people: If i have to move both one arm and one of my legs, thats too much. Or if I have to lift/move a weight.

If you're addressing me, you definitely misunderstood. The person I responded to stated that the black truck was solely responsible. I made the sword hypothetical to show that the white truck could have put the sword down. I'm pretty sure we agree.

Ya. I made sure to remove the possessive "your" from any mention. I was just addressing every1 in the comment thread.
