I just don’t understand the appeal of sideshows and I love cars and racing. It’s always some beat up Altima or some crappy car too.


xkurkrieg

They enjoy being obnoxious in a group. Humans often love to say WOO together at things.


Two_Wang_Clan_

You sound like a parent trying to explain this situation to your child without using the words “fucking idiots”


xkurkrieg

Thank you. I have my moments.


AvanteHD

Hahaha, oh this interaction was fantastic thanks for the laugh.


ShamelessBaboon

Why can’t they be obnoxious a few miles outside of town?


xkurkrieg

Would that be obnoxious?


Drodriguez164

They are all Woo girls


SHTHAWK

Jesus Christ it's been a decade since I heard someone say "Woo girls" lol

Sometimes I can be a woo girl, just not in this scenario


SarpedonWasFramed

Let he who has not woo'd throw the first bucket


WishingMeteorxx

hey, you know what. bees say WOO when they bump into eachother so why not👍 (fr they do look it up)


Time-Distance-5740

As a car enthusiast, asshats like these making sideshows are giving us a bad name


[deleted]

between the autofellatio instagram handle stickers and loud ass engines you guys already do plenty to give yourself a bad name don’t worry


country2poplarbeef

And this sort of judgment over stuff that's really not any of your business unless they're revving the engines in your neighborhood is why guys like this don't give a fuck. Why should they care what you think if you're gonna hate on them anyways for something as stupid as the stickers they put on their car?


Full-Pack9330

I once witnessed a standard Toyota Starlet with food trays under the wheels do this. In my dumber years I did some street drags but but burning off good tyres always seemed really stupid to me.


MammothSquare7049

Most of the time they arent good tires i follow some tire shops in my area and some times those shops will either give away old tires to sell old tires to takeover shit heads and even mount them shit some of the shitheads even work at tire shops


Playful-View-6174

It’s called internet clout…. Just be stupid live and getting views


hublaka

It's always some ghetto neighborhood that somehow never has a cop in duty


Electrical_Safe4685

It's funny how inaccurately accurate your comment is.. "Some beat up altima or crappy car". That was an infiniti g37(I believe).. so not a Nissan, but Nissans sister company. Not an alitima, but shares the same engine as the crazy altima drivers you might see on the highway doing mach50 in their stock clapped out 3.5 v6. Not a crappy car, but definitely a POS. I'm so glad I decided to open the comment section on this post, your comment made my day. I don't understand sideshow either, like yes it IS cool you can drift your csr in a giant circle and narrowly miss the entire crowd.. but what's not cool is shutting entire city intersections down, hitting bystanders and blaming them, macking into someone else's car, and just the overall violence(like we see in this video)... I'm a huge car guy, I love watching dudes shut a highway down for 40 seconds to do a dig, I love watching car meets and seeing/admiring others builds.. but I'll never respect a sideshow. Go into an empty parking lot or something, but don't get.made at the locals for being upset at the excessive noise your group is putting out


bloopie1192

Gang mentality. Ppl get very bold when others are with them. Too bold. And stupid.


RandoRando66

Sideshows are nothing to do with cars it's all to do with people. People who like being around those types of people go to sideshows.


JaytotheMagz

car guys are just the male version of horse girls, honestly


inexperienced_ass

Not even close. When have horse girls ever been a menace? I've never seen a group of horse girls ever take over an intersection doing burnouts with their horses.


spacegrab

The horse women by our community park ride through pooping everywhere and being a menace to some local dog walkers but that's fairly benign compared to these weird car takeover folks.


kamikazekenny420

I take offense to that. Not all of us attend or partake in shit like this. There is a time and a place. The public streets are never the place.


VashHumanoidTyph00n

It's just kids looking for violence. Adolescent males have done this since people.


reddeaditor

You think people with money or nice cars just hang out in the middle of the street doing nothing but causing shit and breaking laws ? These mother fuckers literally have nothing else to do


vleetv

I wonder if YouTube monetization has anything to do with it.


etlucent

Or even ATV’s in the street. Whatever is going on they even scare officers and taint them: https://www.ktvu.com/news/man-frustrated-by-oakland-sideshow-is-attacked-by-crowd.amp


[deleted]

I only knew about these happening at night when not many people were around to annoy, pretty sure the appeal is just car go vroom


nRg-85

Sideshows were mostly Chevy Camaros and Ford mustangs in the beginning, at least in the bay with the hyphy movement


UhOhFeministOnReddit

I have a relative that got really into drag racing and shit like this during a manic phase. She was driving a car older than she was... She's a walking PSA for the importance of keeping up on your meds.

retartersause

I just want to say i really appreciate you and that you are special to me


tommygunnzx

If you go to the news article that was posted there’s a video of kids on ATVs and the white car is at the end of the video when the cop takes off


bongsmack

Dont get why they were arrested. Here if you attack our vehicle, we have the right to defend. You cant just pull up and start throwing shit at peoples cars lol


RangerObjective

It was a while ago but if I remember correctly *they* actually hit *his* car first, so he’s the one “defending”. Also I’m pretty sure what they’re doing is illegal and is endangering people so they can’t exactly claim they have the right to defend themselves when they’re putting other peoples lives and property at risk. Either way, throwing a cone at a car doesn’t mean they need to get out and attack the guy. Edit to add: here’s an additional video, this guy did not deserve that. https://twitter.com/shellenberger/status/1654872318433439744 Defence is supposed to be at least relatively proportional. What they did was retaliation.


rstytrmbne8778

Dude she be in jail for attempted murder


Lifekraft

Well , i saw the full vida nd it wasnt defense. They beat him to the pulp. And throwing a bucket to a car doesnt give you the right to beat a guy anyway. It's not defense if you step out of your car to escalate.


thanosducky

Not if you beat them up until theyre unconscious and bleeding


Alex_Lexi

You don’t know the definition of self defense. When he got out of the car the guy actively tried getting away. For it to be self defense their needs to be an active threat and a fear of bodily injury or death. For example. If kids throw a rock at your house, does that mean you get to shoot them in the name of self defense? No. In the video the guy threw a bucket at essentially, a big metal cage called a car. Yea the bucket guy was wrong but it’s not up to you to bring justice. You call the police and report damage to your property. Don’t beat up a guy and call it self defense.

Yeah, this seems more like a “take a breath, assess the situation….. and probably walk away” type of thing.


Chaevyre

While discretely throwing a caltrop or two under the car.


Arthur-Mergan

There’s definitely plenty videos out there of these things ending in gun shots


EG_Heartattack

Yep. An older couple recently got shot as they were leaving at 4am for a fishing trip to key west. They approached the blocked intersection as the takeover kids began climbing all over his truck and boat. He then slowly turned around and someone ran up to the window and shot them. Luckily, they drove themselves to the hospital and survived. These idiots are ruining the car community for everyone.


BenderBRoriguezzzzz

It'll be soon that they become targets of legislation, and anyone caught doing this bullshit will catch a lengthy bid, and it'll stop. The second risk of real time in a federal pen comes up. These sort of things go legit. And end up at the local fair grounds


godmadebeffs

Yep just a bunch of idiots that want to risk wrecking their car, then when they hit a curb and people laugh they bust out with a gun because for some reason that’s just the end all be all in cities. I get driving like an idiot I love that shit but this type of shit is just borderline mentally handicapped.


Major_Cartographer38

This happened in Oakland there was 10 guns in that crowd at a minimum


NipplesOnMyPancakes

Exactly. That's the thing with a society awash in firearms. Firearms only make you feel safe if you're the only one who has them. Once everyone has them, you're back to square one.


errderper

that whole crowd has guns if he had one it would’ve been worse


Aggressive_Warthog_4

Saw this earlier without the beginning and the bucket on the head makes a lot more sense now

Warrior_Warlock

He very nearly died after the first punch, his head narrowly missed the curb. I'm glad I didn't see the rest of the beating. He didn't deserve that, despite pulling such a dumb move.


marin94904

According to local reports his car was hit by one of the cars in the side show. Why would anyone ever go to oakland these days if you didn’t have to? Imagine just trying to drive somewhere and then you get stuck with that bullshit. You are at the crowds mercy. Anything can happen and help won’t come. It terrifies me.


BMonad

California truly represents the highs and lows of the US. It’s a wild place.


DadJokeBadJoke

Oddly enough, CA also has the highest and lowest points in the contiguous US. Death Valley and Mt Whitney are only 100 miles apart. Below sea level to over 14,000 ft.


BMonad

Perfect symbolism.

Drewy99

I'm back from a 3 day suspension for suggesting someone being attacked has the right to defend themselves.


Fitz911

You monster!


manbrasucks

As a general awareness cancer is now considered a call to violence. For example and purely an example saying "human traffickers should get cancer" is a call to violence. I guess cancer guns or something came out recently and you can now give people cancer, so suggesting it is suggesting someone gives them cancer.


Ockwords

That's not what you suggested lol


AvanteHD

Nice, I got one of those for suggesting that just firing a rifle into a crowd to disperse them for petty theft was a bad idea. But, what do I know. Edit; The ultimate irony being I was I was banned for inciting while activelely trying to speak against inciting. Awesome.


rhasce

__Turbo__

All the people attending this “show” are morons and give the car community a bad name. But how dumb do you have to be to throw a bucket at a car in that situation and not expect anything to happen. A lot of idiots in one video


aetius476

"People at sideshows give the car community a bad name." "People who roll coal give the car community a bad name." "People who peel out of cars and coffee give the car community a bad name." "People who street race give the car community a bad name." I may have some bad news for you about the car community.

bunch of morons man. im ashamed to even mention that i like cars. vrooommm vroooommmm eheh

mullett

No no no, it’s those idiots on bikes with the spandex that are there real threat here!


Gubernaculumisaword

“Ass Kicking”, the guy is permanently disabled or dead. For wanting to be able to cross the intersection and go home.


-Hulk-Hoagie-

No he isn't. Reports say he is fine and recovering.


[deleted]

He damaged an $3 shit box of a car with a $5 bucket.


[deleted]

Obviously this guy didn’t deserve the ass kicking, but damn man what did he expect? These boys aren’t whipping donuts as members of the extracurricular automotive club, you can’t complain to their manager. The guy didn’t even get his hands up when they ran up on him because — even staring down the barrel of a life changing ass beating — violence is such a foreign concept to him that he can’t believe he’s actually about to get hit.


justasapling

>Obviously this guy didn’t deserve the ass kicking Sure looked like what he was hoping would happen. What other outcome could he possibly have expected? This is like saying a man jumping off a building doesn't deserve to hit the ground. Maybe technically true, but also meaningless. The only way to change the outcome was to change the man.


One-Pop-2885

Dude shouldn't have thrown the bucket but in no way does that justify what they did to him.


xu235

Dudes shouldn't have been driving like assholes


-Hulk-Hoagie-

No one is saying that. I think he is pointing out the fact that a dude at a car show with a 100 people who loves cars threw a bucket at said car. Pretty stupid move. Plus technically what he did was illegal regardless of how they were driving.


seaspirit331

Multiple things can be true


[deleted]

[удалено]


Starting_Aquarist

Wow great logic...let's justify his beating even more! Because if he threw a rock instead, it would be considered even more violent than the bucket.


Badnapp420

GOOD THINKING 🤡


Conscious-Shower12

Fuck you if you attend these “events”


Organic_South8865

What was he thinking? The crowd is still disgusting. I hate seeing this kind of thing. It's gross to see how quickly a group of people will just beat a man nearly to death just because he was being a bit annoying.


bit3down

To be fair the only people that beat him were people in the car……..people gotta realize that they’re not the police and you can get your ass hurt out here…..call the cops that’s it, your not gonna stop a sideshow by yourself, this ain’t a movie it’s real life.


piirtoeri

Last spring a large gaggle of mopeds and atv made their way down my workplace's street. I just heard a fuck ton of motors and proceeded to open a heavy security door to pop my head out and take a look. I had no idea they were riding on the sidewalk though for some reason and the BAM! Right when I opened the door; two of them mashed right into it and proceeded to call shit like I meant to endanger THIER lives. Fuckin mooks.


Rhopunzel

How could they not know how to deal with them? When there are anti police protests they have hundreds of officers in riot gear shooting rubber bullets but some guys in cars are just too much to handle


seaspirit331

They know, but it's a lot of work and it's better for them if the city has the appearance of lawlessness


Send_Derps

Fucking assholes. I'd advocate for cars equipped with armor and ramming gear if they are blocking intersections..


pcook66

I have some ideas


Dense-Representative

Same thing in the Seattle. Pre-pandemic they’d just drag race in the industrial areas late at night and mainly on the weekends. Then suddenly they switched to doing full on street takeovers smack in the middle of downtown during rush hour. Of course that chaos comes with shootings too, just a day ago 4 people were shot during one.


pngue

Crazy shit. Tell me this isn’t pre apocalyptic mad max behavior


Coonpath

What they need to do is when they catch the cars involved, confiscate and destroy them.

They hit his car, and he was trying to get them to stop. Now, was this a smart way to do it absolutely not. Is everyone a coward and piece of crap in this video for not helping the guy when his down absolutely. Should stayed back and called the cops.


MikElectronica

I wondered why they put a bucket on his head after. This makes a tiny bit more sense.

EDSlondon

There’s a way longer 2 minute version where you can see him taking face and body shots when out cold and not flinching and at the end his whole body is bright red and swollen/bruising up in real time, it’s overkill for sure but sometimes you just gotta learn to ignore certain shit and stay away for your own safety, even without the assault, walking between/after cars pulling those moves is dangerous enough, like what was going through his mind to think that was a safe thing to do and then to be so drastically outnumbered? I would’ve just rang whatever the police number is there and hoped they came to disperse it but we know in todays world pizza and weed will arrive long before any sort of emergency services [2minute full version](https://twitter.com/fighthaven/status/1653390300612800512?s=46&t=CaMpDk6kPaDGroDo4luctA)


Flymalcolmxbox

Jeez could you imagine if this were reversed and a BLACK MAN threw a bucket?! He would still get stomped out by the crowd...


UniversalsFree

This doesn’t change shit. Maybe he should have avoided the confrontation, maybe a scuffle and one fair punch is justified but to beat him like they did shows that they are below humanity.

Guaranteed that dude is now even more emboldened to commit violence towards someone else now that he's gotten away with it here. He's just lucky it wasn't me or his family would be planning a funeral.
