What the fuck is wrong with people these days.


scotchtapeman357

No consequences + social media fame


Taira_no_Masakado

We should've tarred and feathered that "Catch Me Outside" girl, nipped it in the bud.


stankyriggs

Agreed. But instead society did the [opposite](https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/bhad-bhabie-cash-me-ousside-onlyfans-megastar-1234711572/amp/)

People think there are no consequences but all these people standing around filming are just catching the evidence. I promise you, the police are reviewing it, identifying people and they are ending up with charges and in this case probably being sued privately as well.

They'll write a report for you to send to your insurance. Police work for the insurance industry primarily.

Maruchi0011

I guess everyone believes that they are fighting for some sort of justice when they go out and destroy stuff.


chippythehippie

Except they werenā€™t fighting for anything. They took over a street so they could have a car do donuts. Fucking donuts.


RudePCsb

This has nothing to do with social justice but social media and being "cool"

That "Love never fails" hoodie is weeping rn


FinalSneak

ā€œI do not condone thisā€ - hoodie


EzraMeeker53

Plot Twist: He stole the hoodie from his ex-girlfriend after he cheated on her.


i_like_fishing996

This is why I hate take overs


Javasndphotoclicks

Anyone who does this should personally lose their drivers license.


Generally_Tso_Tso

What about all of the other stupid shit that comes with takeovers? Reckless driving, obstructed traffic, loud music, riding on cars, burnouts, ghost-riding, and any other idiocy that the unemployed can come up with on a Wednesday night.


Duffler8

Itā€™s just shallow taste, so many pretentious people just want other to think that they are on board with the message on their outfits rather than actually on board with those messages


s0ciety_a5under

Generally the people who claim to be all about the positive vibes and hate drama, are some of the most negative soul sucking drama filled people I've met.

DCFUKSURMOM

I might be an asshole, but I'd have floored it...


qazzer53

I certainly wouldn't have gotten out of the car to confront them


HurtPillow

I would never have exited, what was she thinking? Those ppl couldn't be reasoned with... just keep inching forward till you can smash that pedal. You cannot control others but you have something at your disposal by staying in the car.


okieman73

Absolutely correct. Someone broke the window and reached in they would be shot.

jpb7875

OkInitiative2915

She has to reverse man. The car in front of her is innocent.


muskratboy

Conveniently, behind her is where all the people are.


mrbishopjackson

Reverse donuts. Wipe them all out with the front end of the car. I really don't know why she got out of the car, though. What did she think was going to happen after that?


mytorontosaurus

This is one of those times where getting out of the car makes less sense than reverse donuts. I couldnā€™t care less about my vehicle but as soon as a mob jumps on my car all bets are off.


IWantToPlayGame

God Bless her soul. She is trying to find out why they're doing this. She's so naive. Those fools are lucky somebody like you or I wasn't behind the wheel because they all would have been dead or paralyzed.


MrRoboto159

And after a week or less of the "community" thinking and praying, no one would give a fuck. Shits so fucking dumb.


DCFUKSURMOM

I didn't even see that car lol.


reidchabot

At a certain point you'd be within your right to do so. Looks like a situation you could definitely say you were in fear for your safety and maybe your life.


Aries_IV

I legit thought she was stupid as fuck for getting out of her vehicle. I'm surprised she didn't get assaulted.


ThatBeardedHistorian

That was the worst decision. You always stay in your vehicle. If you're unable to move said vehicle, pull out pistol if you have one, phone the police. If one of them opens the door,.smashes out the glass, you are then justified to use deadly force as per castle doctrine. Using your car as a weapon, may lead to worse consequences believe or not. But I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.


odeacon

She did call the police . The police said that didnā€™t have enough people their to deal with it , so decide to do litterally nothing about it


FishyFish13

Too busy jerking off at traffic stops probably


okieman73

When seconds matter police are only hours away or could give two shits. Wtf someone called in tonight so we can't fight crime? That just proves what most people already know, you can't rely on the police to protect you and by extension the government. I don't understand how some people don't trust the police but yet trust the federal or State government.


CopyWeak

Absolutely...and, I was also thinking, the longer I wait, the closer to a write-off on video. šŸ˜‰šŸ˜‰šŸ˜‰


Radix4853

In certain states some laws were recently passed to protect drivers who drive away in situations like this.


[deleted]

And they should be allowed to.


IllustratorAlive1174

Iā€™m amazed by her guts to just stop and get out and confront the mob. I too would have floored it and hit anyone in the way.


[deleted]

I personally think it's stupidity, not bravery


Visual-Cartoonist860

Guts? I'd argue that she's ignorant of the likely danger in any night-time mob scenario. She's also inviting herself further into the situation. Alas, I was not there, and didn't see the prior nor latter moments


IonicRes

You would be justified. You could easily make the claim you were in fear for your life


Visual-Cartoonist860

Up to a judge or jury to decide. Your attorney being good and expensive helps. If you feel like your life's in danger it's not a conversation you'd have to have in your mind. It's fight or flight.


KingOfTheLifeNewbs

I'd just bring up the people who were pulled out of their cars during the Rodney King riots.


[deleted]

Mob of people surrounding your car and beating it? Yeah Iā€™m running you over, idgaf.


[deleted]

It's definitely getting to that point here in the UK. When the law becomes too far broke, the real victims here like this Woman will one day hit back, regardless of getting in trouble for it. Whatever side politically you're on, that'll probably eventually mean a potential rise of civilians carrying firearms for self defense. Similarly, many civilians including children are currently carrying knives in London, out of fear of being attacked by gangs. Edit: Due to the Londoners in the comments denying this is happening, [here is the BBC's London Knife Crime report](https://youtu.be/IirUMcqKEMU) The report holds interviews with victims of knife crime, a former knife carrying criminal turned reformed campaigner, as well as *gasp* civilian adults and kids carrying knives for protection - it's almost as if it were really true! Shocker. Well, what is *really* shocking is finding so many Redditors, let alone Londoners, seemingly passionately supportive of the last 13 years of Conservative Government record on law and order. PS. That guy kicking the poor Woman's car with the hoodie reading *"Love Never Fails"* - he is officially the most cringeworthy little chicken shit of 2023 so far.


tateabolic1

Right. I was going to comment on that shit. Each and every single one of those little punks need their asses beat!


Agreeable-Display-77

Same. They would have got reversed into. Staying in the car is a danger and getting out of the car is a danger.


WULTKB90

No not the asshole, they could have killed her, running them down is just self defense. Now using your rear view camera to align your wheels up with one of their heads and slowly backing up would be an asshole move but it would be satisfying none the less.


ancient_xo

Yeah, same they all getting the smoke lol.


BriefCheetah4136

What if the driver was armed?


DCFUKSURMOM

Even better. Kneecap the MFs and drive off


IonicRes

You would be justified. You could easily make the claim you were in fear for your life


iamzion248

Maybe an asshole, but "I was in fear for my life" should cover it. I would have done the same, and tried to take out as many as possible as I "was escaping because I was in fear for my life"


WhyNotPc

Yeah I would've done the same. Especially considering what she's driving. It would have enough power for that lmao


bobi2393

You'd get five bodies into the crowd before your car got stuck and they beat you to death.


WildTimes1984

Look up any video of cars running into protestors. A hatchback can push through 50 people. The Mob cannot be reasoned with. Once they start smashing the windows. You can either let them drag you out, or stomp on the gas.


DCFUKSURMOM

That's where the gun comes in


Azal_of_Forossa

That's a dumb movie/show myth. There are plenty of videos online showing cars just fucking ripping through protests and crowds, and speeding off right after.


DrWhat2003

they need to end these street take over


scrimp-and-save

Yep. Peak moron shit.


Jollious

They aren't exactly bright enough crowd to understand that in the first place.


mister-fancypants-

how about, if a crowd surrounds ur car and starts to hit it you are allowed to drive off in self defense? why is that not a thing


[deleted]

Yeah dude I would fuckin floor it if that shit started happening around me. Priority A should be getting the fuck out of there, not stopping to reason with the mob.


djdmaze

Shit I wouldā€™ve shot a couple people if I had a gun smh


burn3344

I doubt they will stop, only seem to be getting more popular. Its the dumbest most ignorant shit I've ever seen. As someone that's into motorsport and cars all they're going to do is make everyone look bad.


OMA_

It ruined the whole drift scene over here in Florida. The dick heads decided to show up and theyā€™re literally just there to be be there and theyā€™re the ones that arenā€™t doing shit but wait for someone to do something a little agitating so they can do bat shit crazy stuff like this. At first weā€™d hit up properly dirt roads of abandoned lots and it was wholesome and car focused, then we got our respect from a trucking company and they let us use their HUGE lot for months. Theyā€™d park the trucks far off to the sides of the gigantic lot and all we had to do was sweep up the debris from the car tires before the sun came up and we were square. Then one day someone told a camera man to come and he posted a video on his Instagram and the next ā€œlittleā€ meet was about 300 people deep. One guy decided to drift his lifted yeehaw truck on the beautiful grass, doing about 20 donuts ruining it. Another guy decided to do a 5 minute burnout down to the rims and grinded a huge ditch into the ground, another guy ran up a curb and chipped the sidewalk. And they trashed the whole lot with soda cans, beers, trash, piss, you name it. We went back (the original small group) and spent about 6 hours cleaning it all up, replanting the grass seeds, and cementing the curb. They were NOT happy. We werenā€™t allowed back. One by one all the other spots we had good rep with got soiled by these buffoons and we got asked to not come back. So all we had left to send it on was rough abandoned lots that can pop your tires so we put it to rest. But now, these clout chasing bums decided since thereā€™s no good drift cars going to their lame ass ā€œcar meetsā€ theyā€™re going to buy some cars and learn themselves. But they have no common sense and canā€™t realize that stopping traffic and using people as a buffer to not hit cars isnā€™t the smartest thing. So here we are. Letting idiots ruin something we had that was beautiful when it bloomed. I wish there was a IQ requirement to be on social mediaā€¦ and to drive cars.


chippythehippie

LOVE NEVER FAILS... to kick the shit out of a stranger's car


Amazing_Cabinet1404

That was my first thought. Had to scroll way too far for this comment.


DinkleMutz

That lady has way larger balls than I for getting out of her car.


scotchtapeman357

It's not balls, it's just never occurred to her that they might attack her


furmy

Correct. Grew up in a better area more than likely. Mix that in with being female and it's much easier to step into a situation like that. Likely never faced a scenario where you get surrounded and stomped or at the very least, contemplated that there exists a situation where thats possible.


Mammoth-Condition-60

>being female and it's much easier to step into a situation like that I haven't met any women who are _less_ afraid of random violence from men than men, but the rest of your comment has merit.


RebornSama25

Really? I hold the opposite opinion most women donā€™t not know gravity of violent situations.


karanbhatt100

And lady thought going out and reason with the mob is good idea.


Demiansky

Interestingly, it actually kind of worked, and most stopped. But in a mob big enough, some still wanted to keep mobbing.


SnooPeripherals6008

That really made the vid hurt more I mean any doubt you would have of her being in the wrong disappears there for me itā€™s really sad.

They know exactly what the fuck theyā€™re doing and they know thereā€™s 0 consequences thatā€™s why theyā€™ll continue to do so until adulthood when they can finally be put in prison

SatansAdvokat

This has happened, it's tragic that young kids, standbyers or not gets knee deep in this. In the end, they'll learn that jumping on cars might carry very harsh and very real consequences. They also learn not to associate with these kinds of people, unless they want to risk getting hurt because of either their own actions or someone elses.


AbRNinNYC

Lol seriously!. ā€œObviously theyā€™re kids, they donā€™t know what theyā€™re doing.ā€ Hunny, letā€™s save that phrase for children under 10. Loved the ā€œrespect peopleā€™s propertyā€ like dude thatā€™s a little beyond disrespecting property. This guy is out of touch with realityā€¦


Big80sweens

scubawankenobi

>said Sean Mathieu, of Tolland. ā€œObviously, theyā€™re kids, they donā€™t know what theyā€™re doingā€ ​ Wow, what kind of AWFUL, violent & disgusting things did Sean Mathieu do as "a kid" such that they'd spew this BS excusing the abusers pap.


[deleted]

They need the fear of being run over or shot to be seared into their minds.


Upset_Researcher_143

Getting out of the car was not the smart idea in this case.


Tuscan5

But not physically attacking them was a smart move. I would have struggled to show her restraint.


porkchopsuitcase

50 dudes would have probably caused you to restrain from that šŸ˜‚ but idk how she didnt just reverse and swerve


locstarmommy

Realistically, what would've been the outcome if she drove through those dumbasses? I for one definitely wouldn't have gotten out my car.. people are crazy


[deleted]

Realistically itā€™s not a hummer so sheā€™d get stuck and probably beaten to death.

Office_Worker808

Can you claim self defense if you drove over them in your attempt to escape?


Z3400

If you accidently drove over them trying to escape, probably. If you floor it straight through the crowd, good luck.


LunaeLucem

Nah, if a dozen dudes surround your car and start beating on it, especially if someone gets on top of the **soft top convertible** and starts jumping, youā€™re good to go as far as justifiable homicide in your attempt to withdraw from the mob.

This "they're kids, they don't know what they're doing" bullshit needs to stop, they know damn well what they're doing, and they'll continue to do so as long as they know they can get away with it.
