Guy plays in the traffic and gets hit by a van.

Sorry vs....i'm in somewhat of a misanthropic mood....
Ryjkyjsays...

I love this attitude that people have sometimes. "I'm a pedestrian, so I have the legal right-of-way. Which means NO ONE can hit me EVER, because that would be illegal." This is why you'll see me riding my bike illegally on the sidewalk most of the time.

spawnflaggersays...

The sad part is that the ice cream truck driver will probably get sued by this moron, and even if he wins the case, will have to declare bankruptcy because of the overwhelming legal fees.

Hopefully if there is a case, this youtube video becomes evidence, and the judge/jury tell the plaintiff moron to "fuck off and die".

budzossays...

So deserved. Have seen a few videos lately of idiots like this fellow who take it upon themselves to dance in traffic, putting random passers-by at risk for massive legal and financial repercussions (not to mention psychological).

Fuck this guy. I hope he's .. learned his lesson.

Jesus fucking christ. Get the fuck out of the road, you stupid piece of dog shit. I hate idiot pricks like you. THE ROAD IS FOR CARS, NOT STUPID THUG FUCKING ASSHOLES TRYING TO HOLD UP TRAFFIC AND ACT LIKE THE WORLD FUCKING OWES THEM SOMETHING.

We've all seen these dicks. You're driving down the road, and some stupid prick is just strolling slow as fuck down the street, making zero effort to get the fuck out of the way, with that holier than thou attitude like, "wut?! Go around!" Solution: Make them shit their pants as you clip them with your side mirror at 45mph.

Fuck you. You deserved what you got.

And bikes, and motorcycles, and trucks, and a lot of other vehicles!

Fix'd.

There have been times where a friend of mine hit people that jumped out into the street, those people proceeded to get tickets for jaywalking and my friend would just get let go. True story.

Pedestrian crossings are for pedestrians and you have the right of way(unless otherwise specified by a traffic light), but everywhere else, you better watch out. What happened here can be misconstrued as malicious, but ultimately legal.

Doesn't that just make things worse for the pedestrians? Now there's literally nowhere they can walk without the risk of being run over by something.

residuesays...

He means that just because you have the right-of-way doesn't mean it's impossible to be hit. In other words, pay attention to where you are going. People do this in my town all the time, look down or away from traffic when crossing the street as if by not seeing the threat, it will disappear.

Haha! I would, if the stupid pedestrians in the street had some respect for the vehicles on the road, and the people trying to get somewhere. If you're literally walking down the middle of the road, taking your sweet time to get off to the side, you deserve whatever happens, because you're purposely doing it just to fuck with people.

Winstonfield_Pennypackersays...

Note to All Humans... You NEVER have 'right of way' when you are only 1/50th the mass of the objects you THINK you have right of way over. When you are a squishy, slow meatbag you do not have right of way compared to a fast, hard machine. When something is barrelling in your direction at over 7 times your maximum footspeed - you lose. When you are staring down something that can deliver over 20,000 foot-pounds of force - you lose.

Common sense FACT. If you are a pedestrian, you NEVER have 'right of way' versus a car. Always assume the car does not see you, and that you are going to be squashed like a bug when crossing the street. If you don't, then what happened to the jackass in this vid will eventually happen to you.

residuesays...

What if I have diarrhea real bad and I'm struggling to get across the road to the bathroom emporium and I'm moving kind of slow. Here comes ole ForgedReality in his Mazda Miata on an ego trip thinking everyone is out to get him so you clip me with a mirror. How's that responsible? If you're driving a car, you have a personal responsibiliy to not hit people with it regardless of what you THINK their intentions are.

And for the record, I've been clipped twice by a mirror while walking on the side of the road and hit with a bumper since I was apparently crossing too slow for some retard who thinks his car is a toy

haha.. Mazda Miata. I drive a sport pickup.

But if you've been hit that many times, it tells me that maybe you shouldn't be playing in traffic, pretending you're a vroom-vroom-car. I'm considerate of drivers when I'm walking. I get the fuck out of their way as quickly as I can, say if I'm walking by a shopping center driveway, or thru a parking lot, or even a crosswalk or something.

I know how annoying it is to have some thug wigger gangster punk bitch taking his sweet time because he thinks he's "all that," and doesn't take other people into consideration. It's the same kind of person who doesn't wave to the person who politely let them merge in a line of traffic, or the guy who doesn't even make a "thank you" gesture when someone stops to let you walk by.

It's all about a general deficit of respect that stupid people have grown up with the last couple generations. Everybody's out for themselves, and it's just "me, me, me" as if nobody else even matters.

So yes, if someone hits you with their car, they're either homicidal, mentally disturbed, or, much more likely, you're just a prick.

-edit-
Also, I guess to more directly answer your question: If it appears you're struggling to cross the road, limping and grasping at your buttcheeks, yeah, I'll be like, "damn that motherfucker really has to take a shit!" I might even stop to help you across, so long as you promise not to spray rectal treasure all over me in the process.

I'm talking about the pieces of shit (usually black, for some reason) that walk DOWN the street, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, not even really making an effort to get to one side or the other. They look back at you, like, "wutchoo gon' do, honkey?" and keep slowly walking down the street, like they aren't gunna move for you, so you better go AROUND them. Okay, so now you're forcing me into the oncoming lane because you're a dick? Fuck you. You're not endangering MY safety; you're risking me blowing a fuse and endangering YOURS.

gwiz665says...

If there's a crosswalk, you have every right of passage. And I walk in front of cars in those places with a clean conscience (making sure that they've seen me first though, I'm not an idiot). I will gladly kick a car that tries to run the crosswalk while I'm on it.

If there's no such thing, you wait by the side of the road until the cars have passed.

This guy got what he deserved. Lucky for him, he's not dead.

residuesays...

Well I thank you for the help across the road, but I can't guarantee I won't spray you with rectal material just a little on accident of course. Both times I was clipped by mirrors was when I was actually walking in drainage ditches on the burm where there wasn't a sidewalk rather than walking in someone's yard, so technically I wasn't even in the road those times. The time I got hit by a bumper I was walking in a cross-walk. One of those cases where you start walking slow planning on walking behind the car that's coming. He stopped to let me cross, then fucking bumped me. Oh let's quit playing around, I KNOW IT WAS YOU FORGED, I DOG DAMN KNOW IT!

Also, usually when I'm in traffic pretending to be a vroom-vroom car I'm in my cardboard box thank you very much

In reality, I do agree that if someone is purposefully stopping traffic and they get hit, it's PARTIALLY their fault and on some level they were asking for it, but I don't think that gives people in cars license to "teach them a lesson"

What I don't like about this video is that it happened in a neighborhood and if that van actually didn't see that retard than it could have just as easily been a kid chasing a ball that got run down. As a driver you should be watching where you are going...

Ahem. Yeah, it was me. I hit the brake instead of the gas. I meant to mow you down. But damn, that's fucked up. You're walking in the grass, IN A DITCH, way off the side of the road and not one, but TWO motherfuckers happen to clip you with their side mirrors?? You have some SHITTY drivers where you live.

But yeah, I totally agree, that driver wasn't paying very close attention. That was among my first thoughts when watching this. He may have been looking down at his delivery list or something when this dumbass ran out in front of him. But the last time he looked up, it was clear, and he didn't expect some idiot to just jump out in front of him.

They're both somewhat responsible, but I think the pedestrian is far more responsible. 70%/20% or so. Dude was fuckin around in TRAFFIC! Not just in the road, but IN TRAFFIC! Several cars went by. Looks like a fairly busy road. The truck driver managed to hit the brakes before anything major went down, but that motherfucker shouldn't have been there in the first place.


<<< Damn, I hate the "new" quoting system. I brought it up when it was initially brought online that I hate how quotes appear beneath your text now, but it's also confusing as fuck because it keeps injecting all manner of html.. If you're not careful to properly close tags when you remove parts of older quotes, things get all kinds of messed up. Look how badly Residue's quote above is messed up with the "quote/reply" stuff in the wrong place.. DAG: FIX IT! What we need is a more intuitive, automatic solution that does not involve HTML (and in XHTML, br tag without a closing slash is no longer valid, but is supported by most browsers, so long as it's a transitional doctype). >>>

Yeah, I don't live in a big city anymore so it's easy to get around in suburbia and not hit anyone. When foot traffic increases or I can't see around tight corners then I ride in the street.

Besides,I pose a lot less danger to pedestrians on when on my bike. I'm not one of those guys that wears the sweet little aerodynamic shorts and always has to be going down the street as fast as possible. And those guys piss me off even more, but not for any other reason then their own safety.

I respect bicyclists and I like that we're trying to integrate them into traffic more and more but (and this sounds dramatic) my 7th grade shop teacher was killed on his bike just a year ago commuting home from school. He was wearing a helmet, he was obeying traffic laws and he had about 20 years of experience riding around in traffic. But all of that means dick when some stoned sixteen year old decides, for whatever reason, to jerk the steering wheel to the right for just a fraction of a second... WHAM!, you're a pancake.

So anyway, whenever I'm driving down a rural highway with cars shooting by at 50 or 60 MPH and I see a cyclist hanging out into the lane (and that's his right dammit!), I still can't help but think the guy is kind of a prick for expecting everyone to obey traffic laws at his own expense. Of course, it's his life. If a cop were to pull me over on my bike for riding on the sidewalk, I would have no problem explaining exactly why I was doing it. Or explaining that I'm more than happy to pay a small fine for protecting my own life.


Winstonfield_Pennypackersays...

Did he live?

It is a 99.99% certainty that he survived. Viewing it slowly shows that he only took a glancing blow from the corner of the truck on his shoulder/side. It looks horrifying, but ultimately speaking this guy may have gotten off with just some serious bruises and a case of road rash. At worst he broke his arm, shoulder, a few ribs, and got a concussion from having his fool head smacked into the curb. Given how overweight this guy was I would guess he came out just fine considering he deserved to be splattered all over the road like a garbage bag full of Spaghetti-Os.

brunopuntzjonessays...

If anyone listened to Opie & Anthony today, they had this guy on their show.

Recap: Video was filmed over a year ago, just now got popular.

Guy's name is Ken and is a rapper. He was doing his "dance" for his new song, gipper (pronounced jip er, not like Reagan). He was dancing where he was could, wasn't any traffic in "his" lane. Then the truck came out of no where and hit him.

He said the truck driver wasn't paying attention. He broke some ribs and had a bruised lung. Driver nor he had insurance.

Guy never admitted any guilt, said it was all the drivers fault for not watching out for him. He never played the race card at least.

He goes by Optimo 55 Souf on youtube.

Winstonfield_Pennypackersays...

No offense, but Ken "the rapper's" version of his story is complete bullcrap. The video is clear. He had LONG since broken the plane of the intersection before he got hit. This is evidenced by the fact that he rolled several feet at an angle and still hadn't reached the curb. Truck 'came out of nowhere'? 'No traffic in the lane'? 'All the other guy's fault?' Everybody says that same crap. This is the same baloney you hear from people caught on video stealing from a liquor store and then shouting "I was framed!" as they get hauled off by the cops.
