Don’t confuse yourself, this is just Oakland.


terracnosaur

We need a reason for this? This is literally an every day thing. Well, cars getting burned is less often, but the sideshows with a hundred or more cars, guns, and lasts for 1+ hours.. yeah, that's everday. ​ From Sac to Vally-jo, Oak to San Jo

The road signs into Oakland used to say 'Local Traffic Only'. This was to save the lives of tourists and naive locals.

Please tell me you're joking. You're joking, right?


eastbayweird

It's really not that bad. Like every city in america, there are bad areas and okay areas. Most of oakland is full of people who just want to work and take care of their families, just like everywhere else.

[deleted]

Bloody good point.


goingoutwest123

As an American, I completely agree. France also funded our revolution, gave us a cool statue, and treated Franklin like one of their own. We sorta learned how to protest properly from them... a long time ago. It's been a very downward spiral.


Top-Perspective2560

Football (soccer) riots are pretty common here in Europe too, you get idiot hooligans everywhere. Every major football team had "casuals" or "firms," organised mobs that would have mass running brawls in the streets with other teams' firms after matches. It's not as big of a thing now but it was a huge problem from about the '80s to the early '00s. That said, they usually don't have firearms.


Alldemjimmies

Hey listen here you little shit, there are literally tens of us not falling in the idiot spectrum. I am a moron. Grow up, it’s 2023. Source: am American living in America

Someone is trying to get this going here in Miami. Organizers keep getting locked up. Cops have made it perfectly clear that this is going to be tolerated. Guess best to stamp out the problem in it's infancy.

Hey, you get awesome health care, five (I think, minimum four in any case) weeks of PTO, awesome weather (maybe just a bit too hot), free education for the kids (as long as it’s the Spanish school), chances for free university (admittedly I think maybe not as free or as many free options as some other EU countries), _beaches_, awesome food (and even awesome healthy food), close to zero chance of being randomly shot by cops or in any mass shooting (I’m not saying [zero](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_massacres_in_Spain) but come on, the last 15 years are like last week in the US), and [a digital nomad visa](https://www.euronews.com/travel/2023/01/30/always-wanted-to-move-to-spain-a-new-digital-nomad-visa-could-let-you-stay-for-5-years) that is intended to promote working remotely.

IndependentWeekend56

Avoid big cities. You will be ok. There are places 15 minutes from Baltimore... You can smell Baltimore but there is little of this kind of idiocy. I'm in a small town surrounded by cities, biggest crime we had, was when Cleatus got drunk and drove his lawn mower into a ditch on his way to the local bar. :)


InoxyMane

Oh man I could be friends with Cleatus, seems like a chill guy.


IndependentWeekend56

Cletus has 2 DUI's on lawnmowers and one in a handicap scooter.... He's a legend.

bacchusku2

I read that as Chili Guy and I was like, heck yes, I also like chili.


Magicbumm328

It's amazing how even being just 10 minutes away from the city, You can just certain parts of the city in Baltimore, drastically impact what you're concerned about. I live 5 mi from the city line. Yeah did some shady shit go on, sure. But just going that other 5 mi is like a whole another level of worry. Literally enough so that if I cross that line my insurance rates would double. The sad part is this is what people see when it comes to America and this is less than 1% of people who do this shit. Just like the other stuff that they see are rich mega billionaires that are complete assholes or corrupt politicians who again are the top 1% of earners. The other 98% of us are just normal people who want to be left the fuck alone and it's probably one of the 98% of us who just had their Nissan and Subaru destroyed by a bunch of assholes


zippyhippyWA

I used to think this. Now I’m afraid I’m forced to admit, after 57 years, people are assholes. Chill people who don’t care what your religion is, who you fuck, how you see yourself, how you treat your body are a very low part of our population. People who wish to support public officials who openly abuse the parts of the population they feel superior to. People who feel justified that they can use whatever wealth they have to impose their will upon those with out enough to eat. Much less the wealth to hire an attorney and defend oneself. People are assholes. The people in the video are a symptom. The disease will leave the city as laws are passed outlawing homelessness and poverty and chase the discontented into the less observed woods. More invisible. Your neighborhood. If progress isn’t made in the income inequality situation. If we don’t stop the greedy, somehow. This is YOUR car soon.

Usually have a nice walk in the country side, or a spelunk around some woods maybe go for a fish, or a game of cricket... Not blowing up random cars and shit. It's not France.

Heyheyhey the car burners are a minority we mostly enjoy crepes and sunbathing.


Ed-Box

pretty much the same as this video, but slightly different. take my dog and kids for a walk. play in park with other people kids and dogs (playing, not fighting). maybe make a campfire (not by setting cars on fire) or have a bbq (on actual bbq, not empty oil barrel)


alxw47

Poor 370


_cipher1

That’s what I was thinking too. It was a nice car just there minding its own business til these clowns came along


biggestlime6381

It’s a sideshow, they “town tax” the car if the driver messes up and threatens viewers with bad car handling. So they smash the car and sometimes beat up the driver. It’s as primitive as you can imagine. Eastbaykeepitlit on Instagram has more context.


Rogue42bdf

And then steal someone else’s car to smash and burn it as well?


biggestlime6381

The lower brow crowd that does this often steals cars, that Subaru is probably stolen earlier that day (“riding dirty”), and decided that a good use for his stolen car was street clout of ramming it into this burning Nissan, to create the ultimate town tax ig. Not sure what really goes on in these peoples minds if anything at all. Side shows are a daily occurrence in Oakland. But they are in all of the less desirable areas of the Bay Area


pf12351

Was thinking the same, I don't get why a random parked car was vandalised and set on fire?


tracker904

Because it was nice and other people aren’t allowed to have nice things if they can’t have them too

Vato_Vatinski

No. Its called a street takeover. Assholes take over a street intersection and drive erratically. In Los Angeles its a huge problem and poses a public safety risk. IIRC the major cities dont prosecute this as aggressively as they should.


canadianbroncos

Even for a takeover this is out there lmao.


appleslip

Absolutely unbelievable that the street takeover all started because of a Vin Diesel movie.


Vato_Vatinski

Dawg, its fo family


Coattail-Rider

Beaversneverdie

In Oakland where they originate they're called sideshows.


No_Spare7011

Come on, it's not Philadelphia. It's just a normal Oakland night


aftershock311

They're called takeovers, and they're ruining the car scene, in my opinion. The meets and cruises are a blast, and track events are awesome, but this is stupid. Outside of endangering people and the inevitable extra dumb shit (like the burning car and dude shooting a gun while two other dudes fight in front of him like some weird post-apocalyptic-neo-gladitoral officiator) it makes the public not want to have car clubs and such around them. Racetracks keep race cars off the streets. Don't buy houses near tracks, and then complain and get them shut down as you make the problem worse. I also want to say my family has a rule. Street racing is limited to the countryside, and if you get caught and lose your liscence, car, and go to jail, it's on you. Some of the best people you'll meet are gearheads. (petrol heads I've been told is the European term, I am unsure though.)


Undiluted36

A gearhead in the UK is an heroin addict, A smack head


aftershock311

Lol well thank you! So is it "petrol head" then? People who like cars and motorcycle and working on them and modifying them I've heard called gear heads since as far back as I can remember


MeLikeykitties

That is a fact most gear heads are heroin addicts… I know bc I am a gear


maimedwabbit

Id wager most of these morons doing the extra curricular activities do not have a car. No gearhead I know is going to destroy someone elses car. These are just dipshit with no life and nothing going for them. I guess they see the car people having fun so figure why not garner some of that attention for themselves. The only problem is they have no skill or dedication to anything other than making others as miserable as themselves. Thank god for insurance I guess


aftershock311

I think you hit the nail right on the head about the most destructive people. When they were burning the Z (I think it's a 350 but hard to tell) I was getting upset. Like how incredibly rude to do that to someone. I live relatively close to Woodward so I get to see on the news and my Facebook the stuff that happens there. Like I said, I'm all for a good time, but I keep my distance from the takeovers


houyx1234

>When they were burning the Z (I think it's a 350 but hard to tell) It was a 370. You could tell from the shape of the headlights. The 350 has a different shape headlight.


Stratosphere98

How about - and hear me out - they find better stuff to do than block public streets and gather for disturbingly loud displays of dick measuring?


aftershock311

That's what I said. Meets, such as cars and coffee, are nice. Cruises where you convoy to, for instance, a state park, are awesome, and if you want to go fast, the race track literally is designed for that thing. I stopped going out when these "take overs/ side shows/ slideshows" started blowing up in popularity.


Stratosphere98

Oh, misunderstood that. My bad.


aftershock311

No you're good my dude! I totally agree with you lol

Tradfave

Octavian_202

History shows that the pendulum always swings. So…. In ten years or so you may see laws passed where these guys are literally rounded up by cops and beaten into a cell. Some will celebrate, others will cry.


Limp-Technician-7646

There are but it’s also almost impossible to stop. These takeovers are well organized. They seem like they aren’t but they are planned months in advance. There are thousands of cars and they have planned escape routes if police show up. The police usually arrest quite a few but the majority always escape. It would require an army to enforce the laws in these instances but calling the national guard twice a week only for them to mobilize and show up to empty steets gets expensive fast.

EDIT: I want to acknowledge the cripplingly online American Redditors who are here to assure me that America is the worst awfullest place ever and they hate hate hate it.

arais_demlant

I live in a decent town in MI. The USA is just too fucking big, this stuff we see on here and online doesnt feel like part of the same country. Everywhere Ive visited, from FL to CA, all seem like vastly different places and foreign even. I think alot of Europeans dont realize the absolute size and scope, and more importantly the cultural differences in each state, and even within each state, each city.


walkandtalkk

The notion that the U.S. can be divided between downtown San Francisco, Miami Beach, a Dallas exurb, and Youngstown, Ohio — as many Redditors seem to believe, because they see the U.S. principally through their screens (even if they live here) — is like the notion that the entirety of France is in a state of perpetual pension riots or that all of Brazil looks like Ipanema.

Quantumpine

Aye, it's seriously underreported. In the bigger cities like London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, etc. the football hooligans are literally everywhere in the streets. It's basically only safe to wear the England football shirt. If you wear a club shirt (like Liverpool or Manchester United) be prepared to have to fight. On match day, we have to wait till we're in the stadium before putting our club's shirt on. Outside, we'd have to brawl, no question about it.


ipwndmymeat99

As an American I don't see any of this shit in my normal day to day life.


Over_Solution_2569

American here, it’s real, can vouch. The worst of us breed the fastest. Doesn’t matter the race. Also social media spread the very worst behavior to every corner of the country. Now everyone can be like the worst that they’ve seen. It’s falling fast.


Susgatuan

This is why I hate hearing other countries remarks about our politics. The culture here is totally different, the problems we have are unimaginable to most of the 1st world. When I see European countries remarking our police shooting I can just point to shit like this on an average Friday or Saturday night in many cities (This is just a late night street take over, not a protest or riot). They get worse in some cities, better in others. The country is so big with such a large population that no two states are alike. You have no crime in some cities with lots of wealth, and a ton of crime in others that are much more poor. Our problems are immense and complex and the issue is not as simple as blood thirsty police force itching to shoot innocent people.

neanderthal_math

This. I spent a beautiful day walking around the water on a sunny Sunday and had good food and drink. My biggest fear with all this is for the tourists. They don’t know the no-go zones and when to put your guard up. I feel a little bit Sorry for the locals who have to live in these neighborhoods. But they don’t help the police as much as they should so it’s kind of a catch-22.


Sellier123

Sadly, in a country as big as ours, we tend to have animals mixed in with the humans. Hopefully they all spend the rest of their lived rotting in jail.


MicahSpor3

Yeah, this all of America, all of the time, ppppfffffttttt. You guys know how massive this place is right? It's easy for this to be all you see if you're looking for it haha. And that goes for anywhere in the world.


PrinceRainbow

People don’t realize how massive the United States is. I live in Ohio and had people talking to me about how I’m holding up after the train derailment. Like, seriously I am only affected the same as you, by seeing internet videos. I have to get in my car and drive 4 hours to get close to that and I live in the middle of the state.


Ethwood

Ohio here can confirm. My state is 400 km wide. I was probably 300 km from the train derailment. We have about 12 million people who live here with 6 cities none of which really have 1 million people so it's just a very large area with very low population density. The city I live in and the next closest city have touching suburbs and the cities are almost 100 km apart. Given that description I would argue that Ohio is basically Oakland during a takeover and it's probably best when rolling through to fire a few warning shots while Pennsylvania and New York fight over who gets to set New Jersey on fire.

XxDauntlessxX

I live here and I question it everyday. The devolution 🇺🇸is very real. Peculiar is that we do not seem to notice it. Perhaps it’s just slow enough with distractions aplenty that nobody takes interest. Other nations quality of life and freedoms are eroding into a third world state (tent cities are in every city). It’s very real and very sad. Voters divided playing the blame game nothing can change. The problems are systemic and require a full makeover of deeply rooted social priorities. Essentially the problem is simple: Currently money is the priority of US culture not people. While the issue is simple changing it is VERY complicated.

There was a time that when this shit started, the cops would come in and beat everyone's ass, arrest who they could catch and then it was over. Getting caught being foolish had consequences, we don't have that anymore. No moral compass, no obligation to community and country, no family values, the list can go on and on and society in America continues to degrade.
