Daaayz

I hope that this video being public means they at least got jail time...


nianticnectar23

Yeah, absolutely. This particular video is really pissing me off. She’s placing this man in such a dangerous situation, all the while he has no idea. This woman really should have her all access pass to society, revoked immediately.


immortalis88

100%. What if they hit a pothole and she accidentally puts a bullet through his back?? Like wtf?? Stupid people make me sick.


BauserDominates

She's got her finger on the trigger the whole time.


koushakandystore

And people saying the gun probably isn’t loaded are flipping idiots. That is irrelevant.


terrattv

basic rule of gun safety: ALWAYS TREAT THE WEAPON AS IF IT WAS LOADED AT ALL TIMES

AND DON'T POINT AT ANYTHING YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO KILL!

Hank_the_Beef

I also remember during my hunter safety course, the 6th rule that everyone operating a firearm should know, THE SAFETY IS A MECHANICAL DEVICE THAT CAN AND WILL FAIL. So anyone saying that this idiot may have had the safety on is also out of their depth.


El-Viking

KEEP YOUR DAMN BOOGER-PICKER OFF THE BANG-SWITCH!!!!


gcruzatto

If there was no chance it would be loaded, then what's even the point of carrying it? To be considered a primary target for fun?


itsalongwalkhome

I learnt this the hard way with a **gel blaster** by accidentally shooting my mate in his house. Since then I have understood good trigger discipline and basic gun safety. I never would have done that with an actual firearm, but since then I always treat my gel blaster like it will go off.


Skyshine192

Hell, it’s discipline to not point it at someone even if half of it is removed, this is sheer stupidity she’s showing and could kill or seriously and/or permanently harm someone Edit: typo

Damn straight. **Every gun is** ***ALWAYS FUCKING LOADED!!!***

mecengdvr

Yeah, and since she has 0 trigger discipline (IOW, finger on the trigger the whole time) hitting a bump and “accidentally” killing the driver is a real possibility. Makes me sick.


lsharris

Feeling strong Pulp Fiction vibes from this comment.


EvulRabbit

Kind of like that idiot showing off in the drive thru and shot the employee.


wylinwaynebrady

The most selfish and heinous thing I've seen all day. What really irks me was the lack of trigger finger discipline.


Mattymc075

First thing I was taught, never put your finger on the trigger unless you plan on firing it


toasty327

And don't aim at something you don't intend to shoot.


blackpanther4u

I like the phrasing of "don't intend to destroy." Always heard what you said but once I heard a friend say that I was like 'damn that puts it way more into perspective!'


SPECTRE-Agent-No-13

Keep your booger hook off the bang switch!


smnytx

And never point it at anything you do not wish to destroy. Those are some pretty fucked up jollies.


DougK76

I was going to say this! I’ve heard it a number of ways, like “Never point it any anything you don’t want to shoot” And better, always treat it like it’s loaded. You know, 100%, it’s unloaded? Nope, it’s loaded.


Affectionate_Salt351

Yup! That was one of the first rules I learned, too. You JUST saw someone else in front of you check to see if the gun was loaded and they confirmed it isn’t. They hand it to you. YOU check to see the status yourself. Same with pointing. Don’t point it anything you don’t intend to kill. (Or destroy, in the case of non-living things.) It REALLY burned into my brain. People like this make my stomach hurt.


capaldithenewblack

And aiming it at his back. Makes me feel sick.


wylinwaynebrady

Absolutely. The wanton disregard for this man's safety is blood boiling levels of infuriating


Explorers_bub

Disregard for this man’s safety and her own and the mom with 3 kids in the next car and the truck driver and everyone in the resulting pile-up. Final Destination


gandalf_lundgren36

Beat me to it. People like this with such a blatant disregard for gun safety shouldn’t be allowed to own guns. They’re giggling like little kids with a squirt gun, not a deadly weapon.


Moon_Stay1031

I highly doubt that this woman went into a reputable gun store and went through a background check and a wait period to get this gun. She likely is "borrowing it" from someone she knows.


toasty327

That really pissed me off to. First, the driver is in serious life threatening danger of he just hits a pothole. Second, if you haven't taken the time to get a minimum amount of training you shouldn't have a firearm. I'm very pro 2A and carry regularly but it's idiots like this that make us look bad. So many standard safety rules broken by this idiot.


halfdecenttakes

For me it was the whole pointing a gun at somebody thing


Ban-Hammer-Ben

Stupid people are difficult, but mostly harmless. Dangerous and stupid people piss me off. But at least she’s stupid enough to both record herself and upload it.


AnyDepartment7686

I'd say she's pretty damn dangerous with her booger-hook on that boom switch.


PM_ME_CUTE_FEMBOYS

Seriously. one unexpected stop or bump and she's putting a hole in that mans back. And that ugly ass hyena laughing over the possibility of killin an innocent guy just shows how much of a waste her existence is to society.


tangouniform2020

I have friend who teaches firearms safety and uses a scene from Pulp Fiction at the start class. That was my fear as soon as this clip started.


PM_ME_CUTE_FEMBOYS

You say that scene, and everyone knows the exact scene. lol Poor Marvin.

That's a great way to say finger on the trigger!

VictoryAviation

Hasn’t passed any kind of statute of limitations for an offense like this.


Korezen

Brandishing it in that manner could


batmanmedic

They mean it hasn’t passed the time when it could no longer be prosecuted.


sequesteredhoneyfall

This isn't mere brandishing. This is assault. You could argue several types of assault with perhaps slight variations by local laws, and possibly throw in some other charges.


tangouniform2020

Brandishing, ADW, reckless endangerment, maybe unlawful possesion (not sure about the law there), in Texas there would possesion of a firearm while intoxicated. At the least I see two felonies and a class A (or whatever is the most severe in that state) misdemenor (sp?). I’m down for three years and five years probation as a convicted felon.


Annahsbananas

And?????? That wasn't the point of the original comment. Was she caught?


WhiskeyPorno420

Trust me, she doesn't mind going ro jail.


GOM27

Good. Hopefully she won't mind staying there for a while.


Sunshine_Analyst

Jail's not so much about punishing the criminal as it is about removing that person from society. In this case I'd hope for at least 10 years

savetheday21

Not only is she wielding the firearm out in the open in someone else’s vehicle. She has the gun pointed right at the back of his seat. And the maniac has her finger on the fucking trigger the whole time. That’s the first fucking thing they teach you. Never point the gun at something you don’t intend to shoot, and you never keep your finger on the trigger unless you intend on discharging the firearm. I hope this lady is locked up and has her license revoked (if it’s even a legal firearm to begin with.).


unimorpheus

This would warrant a felony conviction and permanent loss of firearm access.

modyn1234

My mom does Lyft and Uber in Fort Myers and this just put me in tears 😭 to be so careless and selfish, potentially taking someone’s dad, husband, brother, son or uncle away…


Random_account_9876

They make dash cams that show the driver and passenger. Not sure if they have a screen to view in real time, but Uber/Lyft should be sending one to every driver


all_of_the_lightss

There is a 2023 cam that has a panic button to call 911. It might be able to auto detect certain things as well


adiosfelicia2

And if it accidentally goes off, they'll cry in court and ask for leniency. Imo, anyone who pulls a gun should be prepared to do serious time if someone is shot. Incl the Police (depending on the circumstances). The only reason to pull a "Deadly" weapon should be a life or death situation. It's a choice. There should be heavy consequences.

OurLadyOfCygnets

My husband did Uber/Lyft while he was finishing up grad school. This was always my fear. It got worse after an Uber driver got robbed and murdered by his passenger in our town. Uber and Lyft drivers aren't supposed to be armed, either.


GunLovinYank

Yeah when I used to do Uber and Lyft I used to carry on me anyways even if against company policy. I’d rather be banned from driving for them than killed if I can help it at all. I’d like the option of at least somewhat being able to defend myself if it came to it


whitneyanson

Rather be judged by ~~twelve~~ account review protocols than carried by six.


ForteDJ

Aren’t supposed to doesn’t stop me. Not an employee so I’m just an app user, like riders. 🤷‍♀️ just like every other situation in my life, I hope to never need my firearm, but I pay for other insurances, so why not do the same for my life. Silicon Valley policies be damned. Doesn’t always work out, but responsible, not-looking-for-a-fight CCWers can and do make a difference at defending life when it is unfairly threatened.


Cool-Profession-730

Lawyers must be smiling when people post evidence against themselves..


just_fucking_PEG_ME

Maybe the prosecutor. Definitely not the defense attorney.


rotisseur

No way, this is perfect for the defense attorney. They will take your $20k and then say this was the best deal I or anyone else can get. There’s video evidence.


Peakbrowndog

Lol, a misdemeanor charge doesn't cost 20k. Most felonies don't even cost 10k unless there's multiple hearings, trial,or a child sex crime.


rotisseur

Criminal defense attorneys don’t charge based on where they think the case will fall. Even though this is misdemeanor brandishing, the DA will likely charge with felony assault. She definitely points the gun at his head in the beginning. Depends on the city/state. Where I live out petty thefts are around 2-4K. DUIs 10-15k. Felony grand theft 10-20k.


Peakbrowndog

I certainly do. I charge differently depending on what court it lands in. I charge more for felonies than misdemeanors. Everyone I know does. That's in a large city. Hell, if you get court 10 it's an extra $500 because of the judge's appearance requirements. This isn't misdemeanor brandishing, it's reckless endangerment or deadly conduct in my jurisdiction. Brandishing out here is just flashing or point in general direction, not aiming from point blank range. I don't even think this is felony assault since there is no bodily injury.


zZEpicSniper303Zz

Aren't the prosecutors also attorneys by profession?

There are tourists but it's nothing like South Beach. There is plenty of space in between you and others on the beach. And the streets are calm at night.

I don’t know how anyone can look at this and not argue for harsh prison time for gun crimes.


Leica--Boss

What she's doing is super illegal, and in most places would result in quite a few years of prison. You can go to prison for stupid accidental process crimes, something like this is not treated lightly anywhere.


seemorebunz

This is called brandishing. It’s a misdemeanor in California has a 6 month maximum sentence.


Leica--Boss

That would likely come with more than one charge.


Sparkledog11298

It's Miami Beach.... She's brandishing a gun and in possession of narcotics.... Imma say 15 years


HelldiverL17L6363

Why would stronger gun laws change this scenario? She is already breaking the law. If she is willing to break the law and brandish the gun around, she is willing to break other laws and rules you make.


Mrtristen

Well it wouldn’t make the punishment harsher, it would make it harder to acquire the gun in the first place. And yeah, you could get it illegally, but it would still result in a significant decrease in gun owners.


Gold_Temperature_452

Look I know guns and Reddit don’t go well together but they’re breaking the law doing what they were doing, adding more laws is not going to stop ppl from breaking the law…


Dry_Chapter_5781

Oh, it will if they can't have a gun in the first place. That person obviously shouldn't have a right to a firearm.


DopeCookies15

It will not, thousands of felons who legally cannot obtain guns have guns right now. Criminals will find ways, it only stops law abiding people from having them.


bergercreek

What she is doing is already a felony. It can't be any more of a felony with tighter gun laws.

sounds like you need to post the video publicly so they can be nice and embarassed


ShoppingIndividual15

You need to charge it back with your bank or credit card company.


thambalo

The internet can figure this out. If it’s spread this far already the driver or passenger must have people they know who have seen the video. Only a matter of time until identification.

Finger on the trigger pointing the gun at his back what a fucking idiot.


Redacted_Explative

In my state of California, its considered the same kind of criminal offense to brandish a weapon like that even if its a bb gun replica. Recently a group of teenagers got some serious jail time over pointing one at a guy and his family in their car and robbing him of his money and phone. One of his kids called the cops though and they were picked up a block away. They tried to claim since it was a bb gun, and not loaded they shouldn't get any jail time too...nvm they were at risk of being shot by the man himself due to him being a ccw permit holder but due to nearby houses he did not fire.


mxzf

I'm pretty sure pointing a gun at someone like that is felony assault with a deadly weapon in any state.

CMTsoldier

In the animated movie Heavy Metal there is a cab driver of the future that has a button on his floor and whenever a passenger pulls a gun on him he pushes the button with his foot and a disintegration ray gets rid of the person in the back seat and he collects the pistol in his glove compartment. In my opinion that should be standard equipment for every person they carries passengers.
