If you work in the service industry for a few months, you'll quickly realize most people never grow out of their tantrum phase. It's actually amazing what will set some people off.
This! I worked at one of two restaurants in my hometown for years. One time our restaurant owner decided it would be a good idea to take our only cook and cashier and have them hand deliver pizzas (which he never even had fixed before). I didn't mind, though. I took a lot of pride in our food and was happy to be outside for a change.
Our very first delivery a storm hit and we were stranded. It was hard enough to stay positive and my friend kept insisting we just turn around. Despite this, we kept pushing until the storm eventually settled and made it to the gentleman's house.
Upon arrival, he realized we had forgotten his drink he never ordered in the first place. We apologized profusely but he just wasn't having it. Irate, he shouted "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO EAT THIS WITHOUT MY DIET DR. KELP?!" and slammed the door in my face. Exhausted, I just sat and cried.
Sometime afterwards my friend, the cashier, talked him down and said he ate every last bite. That was our first and last delivery.

I Feel you i had one of those guys once delivering chinese food, but idk which one is worst him or the people that take forever to come outside to grab their food or the people that never answer their phone so you have to return their food and its even worst when you have more deliveries to do.
Don't worry, I'm surprised at the positive response this received.

Sometimes I think I might like to work as a waiter so I could run into more of those people, but then I realize I like those people because I like to tease them and I suppose I'd get fired as a waiter if I tried that. Maybe I could work at Dicks.
Im a server and let me tell you most people are awesome. The worst are those who won't look you in the eye because they think you're shit. Well.....here's some news...on my days off I would never eat in a a chain restaurant... ever. So this of you who have no taste and are eating there here's some news. I guarantee im making a lot better money than they are (on average I clear about 80,000 a year). Go ahead snub your nose. Because on my days off im eating at 5 star restraunts!
80k a year at a chain restaurant? Where do you work?

At 320 a night, 5 nights a week, 50 weeks of the year, you are making 80k/yr. I managed a chain where servers and especially bartenders cleared 320 a shift easy, mostly cash, every shift. Why is this so crazy to people? Not to mention working doubles, picking up extra shifts, and the money printers that are drinking holidays.

Not saying this is impossible, just someone making 80 grand a year and still working at a fast food chain... I'll just say there used to be a special pizza place where you could order a pizza with the special ingredient in it and it'd be tasty and get you high. Point is he doesn't make the money or doesn't do it legally. Or he's got dumb time management.

Bingo. Most people are filled with rage and frustration. They keep it hidden the best they can to conform to societal expectations, but if they encounter someone they think is of a lower status (service worker, teenager/child) then their true self makes an appearance like this...
I have a theory that some people want to be unhappy. I worked at a comedy club, where you'd expect most people come ready to laugh and have a good time... But so many people would go looking for things to be upset about. "This isn't the seat I want, this table is too small, these drinks are too expensive, this material offends me," it would go on and on. Is it really so hard to just sit and enjoy yourself?!
I have a pet theory that people stick with the level of social development they acquire during the last or "highest level" of prolonged social interaction they have experienced.
For many people, this is high school.
For this woman, I think the last time she experienced prolonged social interaction would have been high school or a job where she was surrounded by others who didn't develop socially past high school.
This would explain why she's behaving like those high schoolers, she seems so comfortable arguing like that.
I suppose you could consider it a part of the service industry, but I work on a Desktop team for a gigantic corporation. It's incredible to me that end users I work with regularly will yell at us, belittle us, and try to report us to our managers for the most inane things (sometimes it's literally for following company policy)- and then the very next day behave as though nothing ever happened.
Again and again and again... It has completely destroyed my faith in humanity.
I've had customers complain to my manager when I would not break Federal law for them, even after explaining why I couldn't, and showing them the laws in question.
It's also usually in place to protect the fucking customer. But these people are just this dense.
Can confirm I work at Starbucks, and someone not liking their drink can cause them to Hulk out in the store. Like dude chill the fuck out, talk to me like an adult, and I can fix your drink smh.

My 5+ years in customer service have taught me one thing: extenuating circumstances are the sole reason for these kinds of blow ups. It's something else, not this particular interaction, that set them off. Everybody's waking around with a clock ticking on their own bomb, and everybody's clock is times differently, and their bombs are different sizes.
Today a waitress friend of mine had a customer spill a little butter on her own dress and get super upset about her top being ruined. My friend tried to offer her more butter (idk why that made me laugh when she told me that) and a free drink to make up for it, but the lady refused.
Later she and her friend both reviewed the pub on FB and gave it shitty reviews, talking about how her favourite top was ruined and "the waitress couldn't give a shit." (Nevermind that the last part is 100% true)

I worked in the service industry for years and I disagree, 99% of people grow out of their tantrum phase and can handle minor inconveniences without throwing a fit. It's 1% of the population that seem to leave the house with the sole purpose of harassing and humiliating people whose job it is to serve the public, unfortunately that 1 asshole who comes in can put you in a shit mood for the rest of the day.
One more thing, nearly anyone is capable of a public tantrum if pushed far enough. Sure this lady is probably just being immature but there is a small chance she got some terrible news 5 minutes before this video and then when some kids skateboarding or hoverboarding were zooming in and out in front of her car and that she lost judgement and snapped.
In my youth I had a lady watching me make coffee and other shit for a straight hour and would out me on blast to other customers with every "mistake" I made. Some people are just miserable and try to be contagious with their shitty misery.
Depends on what customer service area, what population you are serving as well. Food places can be the worst. Hungry people can be big babies. People on their lunch hour really bad. Heck people running late are out right jerks.
I worked at a comedy club! I get that people get mad when they're hungry, but I was serving beer to people who came ready to laugh. Then their table would be smaller than they expected, and it would entirely ruin their night and they'd take it out on me/the other staff. I never took it personally, I'd just roll my eyes and avoid their table, but some of my co-workers would get really upset about it.

Tell me about it, I was getting cussed out by this drunk lady at work today because she didn't answer when the delivery driver dropped off her pizzas. She then proceeded to call and cuss out a CSR that has nothing to do with deliveries and dispatch.
Thats the same for basically any crap low pay job but mostly in the service industry and when you work retail jobs where you run into a lot of shitty people.
Best example I have is one guy who refused to listen to reason and I remained polite and respectful even as he insulting me even talking about my family etc. Now this whole time I was leaning against a wall trying to calm him down but he got mad enough to throw a punch which I dodged and I started to laugh my ass off as he was grabbing his hand which was clearly broken from him punching the wall. Best part was the dumbass wanted me to pay his medical bill for HIM punching the wall and breaking HIS hand.

If you ever ask yourself why we need police, that's your answer. If adults learned to act like adults, they wouldn't need real-life referees and I'd be out of a job.
If I've learned anything about people, it's that adults are just juvenile little assholes who don't have a parent yelling at them anymore to keep them in line. They're just as stupid as my four year old.
Her ego wouldn't let it go. She was pretty immature and brain dead at the time of the encounter. I'm also a Floridian and I think this was definitely unacceptable behavior.
I think she wanted the kid to hit her. Thats why she kept getting close to him. And she kept asking for it too. She wanted a payday. That car aint exactly painting a pretty picture of her life choices.
This. I'll probably get downvotes but some woman started yelling at me at a stop light and she had 2 car lengths to pull ahead but chose to stay and yell at me. I lit into her because fuck that I can't move. It's like just fucking leave.
It's Florida. I'm surprised she didn't shoot him because Florida, though attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon (car) took place here. Cops would shoot at cars driving toward them.

I hope she sees this video of herself and is forced to take a long hard look at herself acting more immature than the children she is harassing.
Depending on the context. If those kids are doing something they shouldn't be, then I would have to disagree with your statement.
However I believe that under this context that she is the crazy one. From what I understand, she ran a posted stop intersection and nearly hit those kids. So she is the crazy one.
I agree that we don't have enough info to know what cause this. But, as an adult you have to be able to handle and diffuse a situation not let it escalate.
Those are the ones that never take a look at themselves and also spout the most bullshit on social media. She has giant fat girl tits so she's probably entitled and doesn't realize she could be incorrect once in her life.

A lot of people just feel the need to be pricks to everyone who even slightly wrongs or inconveniences them. A little respect and sympathy go a long way to make the entire interaction much less volatile.
I had a guy lay on the horn behind me while I was walking through a parking lot and then get out of his car and attempt to talk to me like a child. I just didn't notice him there and all he had to do was tap the horn and then have a polite conversation with me about being aware of my surroundings if it was really a big deal to him - it's not like I was intentionally blocking him from where he wanted to go. I politely told him "go fuck yourself" and walked away. He threatened to call the cops on me for some reason, as if they would be able to do anything, as I was walking away. I'm assuming this interaction with the kid is something similar.
Interactions like this never have to happen. It's really stupid that they do. Everyone has different lives, different experiences, and different habits and not everyone is going to behave the same exact way you do.

Stupid is the key word here, especially with someone else's kids.
I forget the episode of Radiolab, but there is a very applicable segment for explaining this. Say for instance, the driver was having a bad day. Then she misinterprets something that this kid was doing, frustration compounds, and she feels the need to threaten him and start yelling, basically anything to express herself. She's unlikely to ever chill out unless she starts off relaxed and listens to him because her bad mood is only going to persist through the encounter, leading her to feel the need to keep harassing him. It takes a lot of cognizance to always know when to back off, and while we don't always get on a r/videos post for yelling at some kid, there are times when everyone needs to change how we express frustration sooner than it actually occurs to us.
Isnt the whole point of a residential street is that kids can play in it? I mean if they were on a highway sure, but this is a neighborhood, you cant expect kids not to play in it. The woman should know this.
Her car is damaged from her wrecking it before, she doesn't understand any traffic laws or how yielding works.
She parks her car right in the middle of a road to argue with the teenager while ignorantly spouting off palpably false claims, she's not wearing a seat belt, and she runs the stop sign at the end of the video.

I feel the same away about anyone driving while barefoot.
Agreed. In my area in the U.K. All these groups of kids do their annoying bike tricks and whatever in the middle of the road, if there's space I just drive around or usually one stops turns around and makes space to pass. It's not worth getting into arguments with teens, she should just let them be and carry on.
Common misconception, they just wire them to the windshield wipers. When you put the wipers on high it turns on the hazard lights and limits the cars speed to 15 MPH. This system also prevents the car from being able to switch lanes to the right.

That's just for the bluehairs. For people her age the blinkers are left anabled in all 50 states to act as an IQ test that a lot of people fail. It's how they can broadcast their idiocy long range to everyone driving near them, so people know to keep a long distance.
It's also probably smarter if you're wearing flip flops or sandals to take them off when you're driving so they don't somehow catch on something and cause you to lose access to your gas/brake.

Didn't think so but you never know. It's a big book.
I cannot, I just remember that's what we were told in Driver's Ed (the class and individual lessons). Granted that was 20 odd years ago.
If it turns out it's not actual law it could be that it was just the policy of the driving school in my area to tell people that, who knows.

Ah ok. I couldn't find anything in the books on it but you're probably right in your guess; it could be a safety thing that they tell their students. It's not bad advice.
I remember reading the HTA one time because I was bored. and it says something like. You don't have to buckle up when driving in reverse. I remember it because at the time it seemed so random.
Probably to allow you to turn your body and look backwards, though I can do that with my belt on.

Ya that's pretty fucking weird. My best HTA Easter egg is that you don't have to signal a lane change or a turn if your movement isn't going to affect traffic or pedestrians on the road/sidewalk. But I mean I wouldn't read the HTA out of boredom so you're on your own there.
It's what we were taught in my G1 test Driver's Ed classes and the individual driving lessons in preparation for the G2 test (20 years ago), but from the sounds of the responses to my comment, it's not an actual law.
I have witnessed someone taking their shoes off, leaving them under their legs, and starting the car. I said nope, I'll drive. And had to have an argument with them about it. This was back in high school... but that guy was destined for a Darwin award.

I drive around with a packet of Taco Bell sauce under the gas pedal that I'm too lazy to remove.
No it certainly is. I have a clear and distinct memory of my driver's ed teacher being very passionate about this. Never ever drive with sandals on, take em off and drive barefoot.
That's what got me off it.. Lived in a big city with a 4 mile commute that took hours. Had a 1,600lb sport clutch in an old Toyota pickup. My left leg nearly grew twice as big as my right from working the clutch in traffic so much. It's fun when you're younger but as I age I realize that it's not worth the headaches any more.
You win the chance to buy a new clutch in fewer miles. You lose if your transmission strips. It's all the thrill of gambling and skill contests, and you get to do it as part of the daily routine!
It's not hard if you're used to it. I turned off the hill assist feature in my car even because it's annoying when I've only had manual cars since I learned to drive.
The clutch is the best. It has already saved me from accidents multiple times, 4 that I can think of off top of my head, just because I had engine break and was able to slow down/stop quickly without locking the breaks.
If anyone's interested in trying this you can use it to slow your descent down a steep hill without using the breaks, even if you're driving an automatic transmission vehicle. Ease off the gas, then move the gear selector from D to one of the numbers. Don't use gear 1 at speed even if your car allows it.
You will hear the engine roar and see the RPM climb dramatically. This is normal as long as you aren't letting it get close to it's limits. You aren't using up extra gas or anything.
From what I remember from an episode of top gear is that this is actually way more fuel efficient than putting your car in neutral or pressing the clutch down and coasting. The car actually ends up using more fuel keeping the engine running in the last two options. Not sure if this still applies to automatic cars as I'm fairly sure they were just talking about standard, although I'm sure it's a similar concept unless something happens with the computing side in automatics. An odd fact that stuck with me from obsessively watching TG.
I very nearly hit a woman once because my sandal caught on the gas pedal. I had just started accelerating out of a massive park when I saw a lady a little ways up ahead about to cross the road. I tried to lift my foot to hover over the brake, but my foot caught, snapped back, and tapped the gas, and made my car lurch forward. I got my foot to the brake and stopped, but not before I scared the life out of that poor woman.
I apologized over and over while she shouted profanity. I've never been more pleasant and polite to someone calling me names. She deserved the stress release. I stopped wearing certain styles of shoe when I drove.

Flip flops have never hindered my reckless driving. Street racing, evading police, smashing cockroaches, punishing children, running across a lava field: If anyone says anything disparaging about my Locals (a brand of flip flops)..I'll punch them when they least expect it!
P.S. They [flip flops] last about one month. This is not very good (Auwe)!
P.P.S. I now live in the continental United States, so if I order online.. (excitement) I can still usually order a pair of Locals brand flip flops! If I can't order the ones I want online, I'll tell my mother to come and visit and bring me enough pairs of flip flops that would last me until her next visit! All I gotta say is- 'Mom, would you like to go to Las Vegas?' (The island fever one experiences after so much time in Hawaii makes Vegas seem like the most fun anyone could have in the continental United States, there is no legal gambling in Hawaii, not even the lottery. Vegas seems like a lot of fun to those that have never left the islands).
Edit: I'll stop talking in Pidgin (local Hawaiian dialect) now and start talking like a white person from the continental U.S. Please forgive me, okay?
Edit: I had to make some edits myself because I missed that he was referencing a particular brand of "Rubba Slippas."
This is the company that makes the premium brand of flip flops most people in Hawaii would wear: https://localsusa.com/
Currently driving wearing flip flops... Thanks for the warning.

Also think of all the germs your shoes have, and you use them on the gas and break pedals, along with stepping on the dirty road, you really want your feet to touch all that bacteria? Gross.
I have to drive with no shoes so my feet don't get caught under the brake pedal when I let off the gas. The side of my shoe will catch the brake pedal and prevent me from letting off the gas when I should be braking. Anybody else here with a larger shoe size will probably have had the same problem.
That's actually where it is illegal in my state. You can't take off your flip flops to drive barefoot. Unless you place them on the passenger side floor
I said this to my friends and they all looked at me like I was insane. I gave further points that I like feeling the weight of the pedals and have a way better feel without the flip flop being there, especially since the footwear is not tight around my foot. They said I was crazy and I left it at that...
This happened to a student driver in my area. That was the first thing my driver's ed instructor told the class after that incident and looking back I totally agree with his reasoning. Of course being young and dumb the whole class assumed he was just a strict teacher.
Just drove to the beach yesterday, in my rush to leave I forgot regular shoes and only had flip flops. I thought it was illegal to drive barefooted also but I was so worried about them getting caught on the break pedal, so I took them off. Glad I know now it is legal.
You may not be able to walk into a McDonald's in bare feet, but you candriveย thereย without shoes.ย Drivingย a carย barefootย is legal in all 50ย states. While the risks ofย barefoot drivingย are debatable, the practice is notย illegal, though most people assume that it is. May 15, 2013.
As someone who drives a standard, it just..... feels different.
It's something you can get used to, and I don't think it's nearly as severe on an automatic transmission... But with the clutch, it just feels weird and I guess that might mix some people up.

Really? I drive a manual barefoot during the summer and I feel like I have a much better feel for the clutch compared to when I have shoes on.
I think its illegal to remove your shoes and leave them on the drivers side. Not 100% sure on that but I think that's where the misconception comes from.

You can leave your shoes wherever you want. You're just an idiot if you leave anything but your feet in the driver's side.
A cop told me a story about a new officer he was training. They pulled over a barefoot woman and the new officer was trying to ticket her for it. He laughed and told him to check the book. After a while of searching the new guy finally conceded. He said the myth started because floor boards in cars used to be so hot they would burn your feet.
Why would driving barefoot be illegal? I drive barefoot occasionally, and I have better control over the peddles than if I wear flip flops, which can catch on the peddles. Is it a safety issue?
Barefoot driving itself is not a crime, but it is strongly discouraged. Ohio for example wrote the following warning directly into law.
"Operation of a motor vehicle by a driver with bare feet is permitted but not recommended."
Your feet can easily slip off the pedals and are more likely to miss the pedals entirely. That's not even considering what happens when you get into an accident. I don't know about you but I'd rather have shoes on if I want to get out of an recently crashed car. It might not be lifesaving but will at the very least protect from broken glass or burns

So we should start wearing full body protection while driving then?
Sure, if you want to, but the extra protection would have less benefit. In the event of a collision, your upper body is cushioned by several airbags, and many cars even come with knee airbags now. But there are no airbags for your feet. The only protection between the metal in the footwell and your tender flesh are the shoes on your feet.

Why does this misconception exist? I can't think of a way being barefoot compromises your ability to do anything in a car. In fact, I find driving with shoes on makes it more difficult to feel which pedal you're on, and my shoes sometimes get stuck behind the brake pedal for a second as I'm lifting my foot off the accelerator. I just started driving barefoot a few days ago after hearing a freakonomics episode about the background and history of wearing shoes, which inspired me to go around barefoot or in socks most places except restaurants. I don't want to drive unsafely but I honestly can't think of how being barefoot while driving could possibly be unsafe.
Ah, you are correct! Though, do not be surprised an upgraded citation like wreck less driving if even a fender bender. I mean, itโs not even a law in MN that you have to have a windshield (but they can cite you for view obstruction if you have one and itโs cracks are bigger that a 1/2 inch). But hey, if youโre doing 65mph and itโs raining, I hope to shit they find something to pin on you or upgrade it because you are putting others in danger.

First of, thanks for calling me a jackass. That is very classy of you.
"They" would refer to whoever is writing you a citation. Yes the law is written so broadly because literally anything can obstruct your view. It's up to the cop to decide if it warrants a ticket and up the the judge to decide if it will be upheld.
Would it be possible for a local municipality to pass laws agains driving barefoot? Not necessarily in this scenario, just wondering if there are areas of the nation where you could be ticketed and/or fined for it?

I don't see why not. I don't think they could enforce on State routes or the interstate though.
I was riding with someone in Ohio and they were pulled over for something, and they ultimately received a ticket for driving barefoot.

TIL! In Belgium on the other hand, it's illegal to drive barefoot, and illegal to drive with flip-flops. Your footwear is required to have a strap around the back of your foot. Like I've seen some of those crocs that have a heel-strap especially for that purpose. This is to prevent your foot from slipping out of your shoe/flipflops/etc.
My insurance company. I was barefoot but i was t-boned and the other driver ran a yield.
Edit: the cop noted that I was barefoot but the insurance company sided with me. I didn't pay a dime. The other guys insurance company tried to use it to get 50/50 fault.

As someone else said, it is legal to drive barefoot. However, if you're in an accident and it (miraculously) ends up in court, it is worth mentioning to your lawyer that the other driver was/wasn't barefoot when driving. Something about the way pressure is distributed over the pedals while wearing shoes, makes it easier to push them when reacting.

I've also lived in places where the ordinance was that absent of any signage or traffic signal, any intersection should be treated as if there are yield signs. Would be nice if people followed that instead of just driving through an intersection blindly.

Such a weird American thing that.
Completely empty street, perfect view in all directions and yet you have to stop completely.
Nobody does that where I live.
It's for pure safety, some intersections don't have clear lines of sight and if two drivers are approaching from different directions believing their is no stop, they may get in a collision.
What I really like about this video is that someday some of you people here on Reddit are going to be working with that s*** head kid every day for years. Then let's see how much you agree with him..
I probably would agree a lot with him, since he seems to have a pretty good grasp not only on the law but also what is acceptable and unacceptable. So I assume you identify more with the antagonizing woman in the video?
He was raised on YouTube. Can you imagine growing up falling down rabbit holes of millions of instructional videos on everything from repairing a deck to fight preparedness/avoidance to physics, psychology and history? And most of it is entertaining. This generation of kids is going to be a whole new breed.
This has nothing to do with your comment really, but I fuckin' love it when older individuals say they 'watched something awesome on The YouTube' instead of 'watched something awesome on YouTube.' Sucha small thing really, but it cracks me up every time.
The really scary thing is that she looks like the kind of woman who squeezes children out of her vagina as quickly as her body will allow -- and she discounts all societal norms by exclaiming "I've brought seven children into this world! What have you done?"
Listen up you dumb cunt. Having ovaries doesn't make you some sort of savior for all mankind. I think we would all prefer for you to get on the pill as to not further pollute society with your doomed offspring.

In Flordia (I think it's Flordia because of the licence plate) pedestrians have the right of way in cross walks, otherwise pedestrians are supposed to yeild to cars.
I'm not saying that her thretening/trying to mow down a bunch of kids is the right thing to do, or that she would get away with it, but the kids don't have the right of way. Also if they're on hover boards they might be considered vehicles so then they would have the right of way.
There was a super popular post on here a few months back talking about how pedestrians don't always have the right away. Guess we forgot that lesson. That being said your not supposed to attempt murder either. Not sure that happened here though.

Even in a state where it is not the law to yield to pedestrians (except in parking lots) it's still something you do, because manslaughter with a motor vehicle is still against the fucking law.
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 16:28:59 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Not really. "Pedestrians always have the right of way" is actually a myth. If you jaywalk and get hit (or do something else illegal) then the pedestrian is at fault.
With that being said as a driver, you need to do whatever you need to to keep yourself from hitting them. If someone was jaywalking and you see them and go "Well, they're breaking the law so I'm going to plow into them!" It won't end well for the driver. If you're driving through a green light and a pedestrian walks right in front of you while you're going 30 mph in the middle of the intersection, the pedestrian would be at fault.
Playing on the street would be pretty easy to see though, unless they're around a corner or something.
IANAL, but the way I always saw it was -- A driver is responsible for avoiding every single hazard they have a reasonable chance of avoiding. So you've got the stopping distance from the speed limit - reductions for bad conditions + a fraction of a second reaction time. Someone steps out inside that window, you're legally off the hook. Someone's in the road outside that window and you're legally on the hook even if they were jaywalking or otherwise not supposed to be there.
Same deal with hitting someone who brakechecks you -- yeah they did a universally stupid thing, and illegal -- but you can't get caught up in the accident if you're also driving legally.
It's only law to yeild to pedestrians at crosswalks. This is why J-walking is illegal. Or playing in the middle of the street. What is illegal is running stop signs, reversing through a road, and using that method of stupidity to get her point across to 14-year olds does not help image.
Unless you're in Alaska. Because for two thirds of the year our roads resemble ice rinks, cars have the right of way, except for marked crossing spots (like intersections - when you have a walk signal)
This kid is a future lawyer. He just earned a full ride with that argument. This kid is smarter than some of the people who graduated law school with me... his ability to stay rational under stress will serve him well.
Laying it on thick, but seriously the kid did OK for his age and the angry "adult" coming at him. Everyone should be that together and controlled, but unfortunately YouTube and the evening news sets the bar low for expected behavior.

In most states (all?) you're not supposed to yeald to J-walkers. If you see someone standing to cross the road at what is not an officially marked crosswalk, you are not supposed to stop. It could cause vehicles behind you to get in a wreck because you stopped suddenly. If they're already in the road you obviously have to slow down/stop, though.
I feel like you're drilling down on the strict legal definition of yield (that person is waiting, I must stop and offer them the right-of-way) versus the casual use in this thread - The lady is driving down a road with a clearly visible pedestrian, she must yield to the pedestrian standing in the middle of the road even if the pedestrian isn't legally supposed to block the car's right-of-way.

You're right. He used the word law, though, so i wanted to make sure everything was clear. Misconceptions like that can lead to issues.
I think she's saying that because you don't have to yield for someone who's about to cross a street illegally. Like if someone was standing on the median in the middle of a busy street you wouldn't stop for them to cross.
Completely different story if they were already in the road though, of course you'd have to yield.
it depends on where you are. In Ontario, in Canada, pedestrians don't have the right of way unless they are in a marked crosswalk, and even then it's dicey. Compare with Alberta, where pedestrians DO have the right of way, regardless of J-walking status or other considerations.
Well depends on where you live. Where I live, drivers only have to yield to pedestrians when they're at a crosswalk or they have the walk/flashing hand symbol at an intersection.
Washington state, for example, says pedestrian is a "means of conveyance propelled by human power other than a bicycle". So skateboarders are pedestrians, but NOT electric skateboards, including hoverboards. Those are motorized vehicles.
My most likely case for this video is they were milling around blocking the street- probably habitually- and harassed her instead of getting out of the way.

I don't see her trying to hit anyone. If so, it's not shown. She backs up to yell at them again, arguably pointless, but I don't see any indication she was trying to hit them or got anywhere close to such a thing. THEY are yelling like she's trying to run them over, which is bogus.
I wasn't saying they definitely aren't vehicles, just that if there is nothing in the law that would either specify them as vehicles or that implies they are or are not vehicles, then it should default to them being pedestrians. Of course a judge may interpret vague laws differently. But if it is written like that in statute then certainly they would be vehicles.
I agree with you though, I assumed they were just screwing around in the road and generally being dicks. Doesn't give her the right to escalate, but the anger is understandable. She said she's dealt with it for a long time and was tired of it. Once you reach a certain age you just want to mount spikes and machine guns on your car to deal with shitheads.
You shouldn't be being downvoted. Can't say for certainty about Florida, but in Canada a friend of mine hit a person on a skateboard, and because it's technically a "vehicle", she wasn't charged in any way and the case was dropped.

No, I believe that shape is known as summer squash (fat head, fat neck, medium fat torso with fat legs) and is achieved by decades of deep-fried Oreos and hate.
Actually if you pause the video and really look her over(like I just did) you would see that she isn't more than a little overweight. She has a big fat mouth for sure. Her neck is not fat, her torso might be but you can't really tell, her legs are not fat, she does have huge titties. It would be hard to judge her "fatness" without removing her clothes.

Then she is fat. Breasts are mostly fat. Storing huge portions of adipose tissue in your chest doesn't make it magically disappear
It also doesn't make someone lazy or automatically mean they have a bad diet. A friend of mine is a vegan, she works out daily, she looked fat. I alway thought she was fat, she had that popsicle look, tiny legs and a round body. One night she flashed us and I was amazed that she had six pack abs. Her titties were(she had them reduced) huge but she sure wasn't "fat". Now she is a B cup and looks skinny.

Virginia as well. But cops literally do not car about it. I've been pulled over for expired tags several times and the only thing cops have said is "hey you're missing your front plate" and that's it.
I think it's just something a cop would add on if they're feeling extra shitty that day.
Yep. The one exception is if you have the older green/white plates (green letters/#s, white background). Those were grandfathered and they won't require the front plate if that's what you have. My in-laws have that.

Yeah isnt it hilarious. "You should be able to beat your kids, my Dad beat me and I turned out fine" as they get plastered in the bar as 11 in the morning.
There is definitely a "type" that advocates for hitting kids. Sure, they could be doing worse. They usually have an apartment, a car, a job, and reasonable social skills. But they also live paycheck to paycheck, that apartment is $300 a month, the car is a banged up '96 Honda, they look like this woman, wear sweatpants to Walmart, and spend long evenings at a local tavern.
That comment made you seem very sheltered. With how the entire last half of your comment revolved around how much a person makes, thinking that having money struggles can make you a bad person or could somehow be related to you beating your kids.
Shit it's more of a southern thing anyway. I remember picking my own switch from the willow tree as a kid, just like my cousins, friends, whoever else. I also grew up going to private school, a good college, and grad school. One of my cousins is currently in undergrad at a good university, and the other is in the final year of medical school.
There's nothing wrong with things like spanking imo as I think there are benefits from it. Now if you're legitimately beating your kid to the point they are hurt, then thats fucked. But people saying things like spanking oare wrong have probably never been spanked themseleves, it's not as bad as people make it out to be and it's usually effective.
I don't get this narrative that all kids who are switched/spanked end up as trashy people that don't know how to spend money. Maybe it's just a southern thing, but literally every person I grew up with either got belted/switched/spanked and they all turned out fine. Granted I'm not that for belting/switching, but spanking isn't that bad. (Even switches weren't that bad, I would just prefer to not do that to my kid as that shit stings like a mother).
Edit: Lol spanking only hurts for about 5 seconds, have any of you who disagree with it actually been spanked before? I don't see how that's 'beating your kid' if anything I think it's was less volatile than screaming at your kid/grounding them for months on end.
Not buying it. Sure, there's varying degrees of assault - one spanking isn't "equal" to physically beating someone, which tends to imply multiple punches and other hard blows.
But ultimately it all boils down to physical violence to demonstrate your authority. Whether it's a spank or a punch or a switch, it teaches the lesson that "might is right," and that physical victory is a valid means to prove yourself right.
It provides a shortcut to enforced behavior without actually teaching the reasons that is desirable behavior, and it leaves behind the cognitive dissonance that "We do not strike others" and "My parents struck me to teach me a lesson / because they love me / fill in your own justification."
In my eyes the only need for physicality comes from removing someone from danger or removing them from being a disruption - ie grab your kid's hand with the force necessary to stop them if they're about to dart in the road or grab a sharp thing. Pick your child up and carry them out or to a private spot if they're throwing a fit, a tantrum, not following directions.
Striking someone isn't necessary, whether it's light or hard, regardless of what you call it. It's a shortcut.
literally every person I grew up with either got belted/switched/spanked and they all turned out fine.
Survival isn't an endorsement of a parenting method.
Interesting argument, also thanks for actually giving a detailed argument rather than just coming out swinging with insults like a lot of people have been doing ITT.
Anyway, ideally I would never want to spank my child, I also don't think I'll ever spank my kid, but I get why people do it. I also think there are certain situations where spanking is beneficial still, for example:
If my kid is being a bully to everyone at school/starting fights, then I think it'd be beneficial to spank him. If I spanked him and tell him look, you're beating up on all these other kids how does it feel to have someone hit you (Pop on the fanny)? I think it would deter my kid from acting out again physically.
Now I think spanking is bad if you're spanking your kid over every little thing like grades/melt downs/whatever else. Shoot I had one friend who used to get beat with those things that are used to shut your blinds. Now I was like holy fuck that's harsh as shit, and I see that as the line you shouldn't cross, which was only made worse because they were beating him over making anything other than an "A." Now I get how that's fucked up completely, but I still don't see how a handful of pops on the butt (over the coarse of an entire childhood) is really that bad.
I guess I should also clarify real quick that I see spanking as good if its one hard firm pop on the butt. I also think it's important to not hit the kid full force, for example my mom was the one who spanked me not my dad, as my dad is a big ass dude so he thought it'd be excessive for him to spank me. Also I got switched by my grandma (she was bitch and I hate switches still) which is why the AP thing is pretty messed up to me because he was an NFL RB who was switching his kid... that can legit mess up the kid.
Pick your child up and carry them out or to a private spot if they're throwing a fit, a tantrum, not following directions.
See I agree with this, but I've also seen parents go way to far with punishments like 'timeouts.' At least around where I am, there are still people who take there kids and lock them in the car when they misbehave, and don't see it as harsh at all. If you ever asks those parents why they think that stuff is ok, they will tell you it's because they aren't actually hurting the child... but fuck idk if it's cause I'm claustrophobic or what, but I see that as extremely messed up. I feel like spanking can be the same way.
If you take your child and spank him firm, not hard, and only enough to get the point across then I don't see it as a big deal. If you are hitting him as hard as possible, multiple times, or with foreign objects then I think that's entering the abuse level... just as I see timeouts as a justified means of punishment, but I see it moving to that abuse level when your locking your kid in closets/cars/whatever.
Also I just realized how much I wrote, I'm sorry for the wall of text! Again though, thanks for giving an actual reply/argument rather than some of the other stuff people have been saying on here. I think I was just more or less pissed because the guy above is saying those who are spanked will end up as the People of Walmart... like damn I think there's so many different factors that lead to people ending up like that... and I think people interpretted me saying spanking as hauling off and beating the ever living fuck out of a kid. I mean it as a hard firm smack on the behind, one of those 5 second stingers that make you say ow I don't really want to do that again. I think my parents also did a good job with it by making sure to never spank me if they were drinking, never spank me super hard, never yelled at me leading up/during/after the spanking, and make sure to sit down and talk afterwords.
Then again maybe I just see spanking as more ok because I grew up around it and I never felt it was excessive. Idk maybe I'm wrong but it's just my POV because I think my parents handled it really well. ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ Anyway once again thanks for not flaming and being constructive! I completely see your point of view and it makes a lot of logical sense, I think it's just one of those things where my personal experience for just makes me see it differently.
The dude above said people who have been spanked/switched end up as unsucessful bottom dwellers in society, I'm simply saying it's far from the truth. The south is rampant with those forms of punishment (or at least it was as I was growing up) and everyone turned out fine that I knew. I guess I should go put on my camo and go to wallmart with my government check as a southern boy who got his fanny popped right?
Spanking isn't that bad, it hurts for all of 5 seconds then goes away. I'm not saying beat the fuck out of your child or do anything that legitamently hurts the kid, but fuck y'all act like things like spanking are capital punishment that ruins lives. I've never seen anyone's life ruined from a few pops of the fanny (Although I'm not a fan of switches, that shit blows lmao).
But there are ways NOT to raise kids, and physical punishment is one of them. There is an overwhelming body of research implicating "normative physical punishment" with seriously negative outcomes for the children. Sure, if a parent hits their kids to make them obey their parent in the moment, the kids will probably do it to avoid physical pain... But think about what kind of damage that does to a child. Is spanking guaranteed to ruin a child of you do it? No. But it's lazy and cruel parenting to resort to physical abuse to enforce your authority with your kids.
Not 100% true. It depends on the kid. I'm not advocating child abuse mind you. I have raised 3 children, and 2 of them were best served by taking away the things they enjoyed, giving them extra chores, and the like. The other one had a "you're not going to spank me, so I can talk to others and treat others any way I like" attitude, and the only way to correct that was to spank him. It was always the last option, and I always gave him plenty of opportunity to correct his actions before we went down that road. It was very effective with him, and he turned out to be a very productive and kind person. When done responsibly, this is actually an effective discipline for some children. The key word here is "responsibly". There are some parents out there that don't have the self control or the common sense to be given this responsibility.
Edit: As a side note, I always sat down and talked to him afterwards, explained why I did what I did, discussed the actions that led to the punishment, and made it very clear that I still loved him and would always be here for him no matter what.
He isn't the only one. I spanked the other two a couple of times. I get that you're trying to turn my parenting into some kind of traumatic event, but you're just wrong in this case. I grew up in a very abusive household. My stepfather was an abusive alcoholic. He would beat me with sticks, fists, or anything else he could get his hands on. He chased me around the house with a loaded pistol when I was 8. Understand that I'm no stranger to abuse. That's not what this is. For a long time I had the same perspective as you. "There's no reason to ever resort to physical punishment with a child", so I understand where you're coming from. I felt that way until I was raising my own children and my options were exhausted. I had tried everything. Nothing worked. So I sat down and thought about the most effective way to implement this discipline, and how to do it in a way that achieved the results I needed without causing any long lasting trauma. We fostered a loving and open home environment. Encouraged the kids to talk to us. Taught them responsibility and kindness. I don't feel that disciplining children is wrong. It's how and why you do it that can be the problem.
Among all the other (wonderful) things you taught, you also taught them that violence is a valid option to select in handling day to day problems.
I'm not trying to make your parenting out to be terrible, and perhaps that is what the other person was trying to do - get at you with guilt. But I will not agree that your options were truly exhausted. I've been stressed to the point of breaking in my parenting experience, I've truly wondered if that was the way to go before - but I've managed it. My kids treat people with respect. They act well in public, and don't treat each other any worst than siblings are apt to do in childhood. When there's bad behavior we try talking things through and failing that we remove people from situations ("OK, if you won't treat so-and-so nicely while they're playing with their stuff across the room, you don't get to be in the toy room anymore - sit in your bed until you're ready to apologize and see what you did wrong" as an example), or remove privileges until they earned them back by not only eliminating the bad behavior but going above and beyond with good behavior (Stop messing with your sister's toys, and go pick up extra chores for awhile without complaint or prompting, for example).
I've known plenty of friends and family who spank or threaten spanking as a punishment, and none of them are facing worst behavior than we've addressed without spanking. None of their kids are any better behaved - in some cases quite the opposite, and they simply learn to better hide bad behavior.
tl;dr - Spanking is a shortcut to immediate results, but teaches that violence is a valid tool for human interaction. Bad lesson to teach, and self perpetuating.
Yeah, I get what you're saying, and I appreciate the perspective, but this particular child had some pretty nasty tendencies. Things that if done as an adult would lead to prison sentences or death. We had tried therapy, positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement in things like time outs, taking privileges, extra chores, among quite a few others. He only respected or responded to physical dominance. He would extort and bully other children, he would manipulate therapists and everyone else around him, he would steal, lie, and generally treat people as either objects or obsticals. These were traits that needed to be removed before he got older and started hurting people. He wasn't your typical child, and he had to be handled differently than most kids. We really did try everything that was available to us before deciding on this form of discipline. I wouldn't suggest it with every child. You have to put in the work. Jumping straight to something like this is lazy and dangerous. Notice I said "not 100% true" in my original post. I truly believe that physical punishment should be the absolute last resort, but I feel that it is a viable option with some children IF DONE CORRECTLY. It worked. The kid turned out better than we could have ever imagined. It was a gamble, and it paid off. I would much rather deal with the pain of disciplinary action that I hated to administer, and the indiscriminate downvotes from people that were never in my shoes, than deal with the worry of a child at risk of dying from drugs, violence, or whatever else and thinking to myself "I should have tried harder."
They said beat, if you're beating your kids that's not discipline, that's someone with a lot of issues taking out their anger on someone they have physical and mental domance over.
Basically only pathetic fucks who don't know how to control their shit beat their kids.

But seriously? You idiots even feel the necessity to say shit like this? As if the vast majority of people don't know that physically touching with malevolence is unacceptable. Good god you fuckin snowflakes and your sensibilities.
Yep you're doing great, we should definitely beat kids.

Undisciplined children are cancer. Some kids are hard headed and require a pop on the butt every once in a while to get their attention. I know parents who don't discipline their children, don't even tell them no. They're rotten kids.
Even if you don't view corporal punishment as inherently immoral, there are many studies1 that show that spanking is horribly ineffective and contributes to antisocial behavior.

It's not immoral. There is nothing immoral about it.
And studies are great but studies are pretty useless on a case by case basis. Studies give trend for a general population, which more than likely is lined with unfit parents. If I had a dollar for every useless study I've heard about X or Y causing cancer I would never eat anything.
It's a grey subject and I hope that legislation is never passed to ban physical discipline in the domestic setting. Beating and bruising and starving and isolation are not what I'm talking about here, however. Those are heinous crimes no matter the age of the victim.
The extent and biases revealed in psychology papers as a whole makes the entirety of the field suspect. At this point the onus is on psychology to earn their credibility.
They literally never REQUIRE a pop on the butt. Ever. You can always get children's attention with time and patience as long as that's the way you roll from the beginning.
People don't like to hear that if your child requires a pop on the butt you already fucked up. You've already trained them to require that.

That's just not true at all. This isn't some black and white topic lol. "It's never okay to spank your children." What in life is that certain... you may have that philosophy sure, and there's nothing wrong with that. But some parents don't teach that way, and there's nothing wrong with that either. I was spanked as a child. I have a fantastic relationship with my parents, I love them to death and thank god that they did what it took to teach me right from wrong. I cussed out my grandma once and she put a drop soap on my tongue. I never did it again. I'm not here 20 years later having nightmares about the soap or the belt.
When I have children, I imagine there will be points in my life where physical discipline will be necessary. That doesn't mean I've fucked up at all. It just means that there is more than one way to skin a cat.

Sure, from your perspective. While I agree that life is not black and white, I would say that we may see shades of grey differently.
I think that physical discipline is a good tool when used correctly. It has to be used correctly though, and cannot be abused and lines cannot be crossed. But people saying that there is never a time to physically discipline a child is hypocritical at best when looking at it with respect to your black and white argument. Can't have it both ways.
No, actually there are long term studies that prove empirically that spanking your children makes them turn out worse. It's literally a black and white issue you are just wrong.
Just because YOUR corporal punishments turned out Okay for you doesn't mean they are okay.
Look up the research yourself. You're wrong.

Well I believe that there are times in life where violence can be a necessary plan of action. I know you're going to have difficulty understanding that with your limited worldview. You seem like the type of person who hears the word violence and you instantly tune everything out that follows it.
I was in the military. Violence was necessary to train people. it creates a stressful environment which mirrors the oftimes stressful life that being in the military can be.
You're not going to prove anybody "wrong". You literally can't prove me wrong on this subject. Not because you are incapable, but because the dichotomy of right and wrong doesn't exist here. If that's your goal, then you should just quit.

Dude, again, if I can acknowledge that shit like this happens can you at least acknowledge that there are people out there who are not suited to raise children no matter how many videos or commercials we make about child abuse. Fuck.
We're talking about the comments on the issue. You're saying that it's unnecessary to even talk about child abuse. But half the panel in the video, disagree. They think what Peterson did was okay. So, YES, it is NECESSARY to speak out. Even in 2017
Snowflake reporting in you incompetent asshole. I don't believe any form is corporal punishment is required. There's much more you can do with understanding, empathy and patience. Just because I don't believe in perpetuating violence doesn't make me and less firm or giving when it comes to rules, it means that me and my child work together on things instead of me literally physically punishing them into submission.

There's a difference between a spanking and "beating". One is discipline the other is assault that apparently doesn't count because minors don't have rights
I discipline my kids fine without ever striking them. They are learning respect without also learning that violence is a solution that should be considered in day to day matters.

That's awesome man, seriously. I applaud you. I don't know if you are telling the truth, but if you are that's seriously awesome. The take away is that your children are being disciplined and learning right from wrong, regardless of method. You're teaching them how to operate and survive in the world, which is what parenting is after all. Good on you for being a solid parent.

Okay. Thanks for the input. My kids will be fine but thank you for your 2 cents
Disciplining and beating are not the same thing. Sometimes there's a need to get a little physical, but if you are beating your kids on the regular you are a failure as a parent and as a person.
It stuns me that this is something that has to be said. You should not beat someone who you love. You should not beat someone who is vulnerable and looks up to you. You should not teach children that respect and authority are earned through violence.
If you don't know how to raise a child without assaulting them you shouldn't be a fucking parent.
Exactly, like how do people even say it out loud without being horrified by it? "You need to assault your kids" motherfucker what?! And then when I say "maybe there's another way" they tell me I'm immature and ignorant.
This is stupid, there is a difference between spanking a kid and beating a kid, I use to get hit as a kid, but it was only when I disrespected my mother or another stranger, I deserved it, I don't fight or ever resort to violence, my sister never got hit because she wasn't an asshole, I was, I never resented my parents if they hit me and it was something they had to do because o didn't behave. I still have a good relationship with my parents and I'm not a drug addict or ever in trouble. Discipline isn't a bad thing and you're a moron for saying you shouldn't be a parent if you hit you're kid.
It's different beating a kid, and giving him a spank when he doesn't listen to reason (because, you know, he is 3 and doesn't understand reason).
My parents only spanked me twice I think, both times they already had tried speaking and asking for me to stop and it didn't work, so to stop me from misbehaving, and learn to not do that again, they spanked me. I really don't see a problem with that.
Every person I've ever heard say "kids need to be spanked!" Or "my parents beat the shit out of me and it made me turn out better" have not been the most successful or intelligent people.

He obviously has been taught respect and manners and just because he stood up for himself this lady is pissed about that. The amount of new hormones and changes going on in that boy compared to that old lady is a huge difference, yet he is still able to keep his cool while she is just acting like a crazy bitch!

I love it when people whose lives are in the ditch say that. "Kids need to get whoopings. They need their A's beat! That's what my parents did!!" Uh, thanks for the reminder to never lay a hand on a child.
And FYI there's a difference beternal beatinget your child and giving them a slap on the button (or whatever people do these days). Nothing wrong with mild, physical conditioning so a child acting rude or being violent learns to behave. Of course people often forget it's a combination of physical and verbal interaction that tends to work best.
Actually there is a problem with a bottom slap. Children are not adults, lightly hitting other adults is okay-ish, but they can handle it. Children can't handle it right, it messes them up. Statistically, children who are even lightly spanked are way more likely to end becoming anti-social and engage in violent behavior.
Children rely on their parents for feelings of safety, they can't feel safe if they're afraid of getting hit. And nobody want's to get hit, no matter how soft.
EDIT: Down vote me all you want. These aren't even my personal beliefs, they're just facts that anyone can find on the internet.

Then show them to me.
Source: was disciplined physically as a child and I have a fantastic relationship with my parents and am not violent.
Putting this out there that until about 20-30 years ago physical punishment as a spanking or a belt was used and worked. Then people started to call it child abuse, now look at the generation that has grown up where spanking is considered abuse, it's not a good one. It's a bunch of entitled brats who think they deserve everything. I grew up with physical discipline I'm fine living a great life with a good relationship with my parents
When I had kids, way back when, I promised myself I would never use the phrase "Kids these days...!" as a complaint. But then kids started wearing their pants off their ass, and spelling poorly on purpose, and putting "lol" all in lower case.... dammit, what is wrong with kids these days?! And the cycle continues.
Actually, that may have been the first time I've ever strung those three letters together, unless I continued on with "lipop". I don't feel the need to report to anyone the particular state of my mirth, let alone as an overly common, low effort and insincere response.
I mean, if you saw an adult doing something you don't approve of, you can just walk up to them, take off your belt and start beating them. Cops can't arrest you for that, because you're teaching the other person a lesson. It's totally fine.
Oh wait, no, sorry, it's only okay if you assault your own kids. Because that's what parents are for. Making their children afraid.
I'm all for public corporal punishment, bring back the pillory and stocks. It's a lot cheaper than jail, and you aren't removing the possible bread winner from the equation.

The correct way is to shoot them with a gun first, then drive around the body. This way it's legal and you have the backing of the NRA and their money.
I deliver pizzas, and we're right in front of a college campus. As such, I find myself traveling through said campus multiple times daily.
I of course always keep a sharp eye out for pedestrians, but there's been a couple of close calls where some dumbass college kid looking at their phone just strolls right out directly in front of me while not even looking up from their phone. They weren't even using the cross walk which was only a few hundred feet down.
Even with me watching and only doing like 30 MPH, they both almost wound up in the hospital and got me fired.
It's the responsibility of the people in vehicles to not hit pedestrians but I do also believe that at least some of that responsibility falls on the pedestrians themselves. I mean god damn, if you're not going to use the cross walk, at least stop and look both ways.

IANAL - Under most jurisdictions, hitting someone who walks out in front of your vehicle isn't necessarily a crime. There are a variety of factors that can change this (alcohol, speeding, cell phone usage) but the general idea is that you often can't stop a vehicle in time to prevent the collision. The same cannot be said for a person walking into the street - they could have looked and simply not crossed the street at that time. If they weren't crossing at a crosswalk and just walked out in front of you when you hit them then the police can't charge you with a crime as long as you stop at the scene (or in a relatively safe spot and report it immediately - failure to do so becomes a hit and run which is very illegal).
Right of way law favors larger vehicles over smaller vehicles, bikes, and pedestrians due to the laws of physics - it often times is physically impossible to stop a vehicle in time to avoid a collision if a pedestrian walks out directly in front of a moving vehicle.
While the drivers of vehicles have a responsibility to not hit pedestrians, the pedestrians also have a responsibility to not walk in front of vehicles.

Driving in the US we are taught to anticipate pedestrian actions in neighborhoods like that. If you see anyone near the side of the road looking like they might cross you stop. Move to the UK and driving 40+ in neighborhoods is standard. My driving instructor had to teach me to ignore the pedestrians and just go. That lady would do well here.

If it's not in the constitution, it's definitely in the Bible
The law in most places in the US is actually far more favorable to motorists than pedestrians than most people have any idea of. The idea that pedestrians always have the right of way is risibly false, usually to the dismay of people who casually walk across 4 lane highways between crosswalks and expect lots of money when they end up getting hit.
of course a pedestrian has to take care when crossing, and an accident can be a pedestrian's fault
but if there is an accident cops are going to video and witnesses and on scene evidence
and if the motorist was not exercising proper operation of a motor vehicle, they're fucked
The law in most places in the US is actually far more favorable to motorists
this is a suburban cul de sac not a four lane highway. if she hit one of those kids, the law is definitely not favorable to her here. you are misrepresenting this situation
usually to the dismay of people who casually walk across 4 lane highways
what the fuck does this have to do with the video you are watching
why are you trying to change the topic to some unrelated hypothetical?
Because you seemed to be referring to the popular mythology that pedestrians always have the right of way. Outside a few municipalities this is rarely the case. Unless there are street markings stating that the traffic laws have changed inside the neighborhood (which sometimes happens) then the kids don't automatically have right of way; slowing down and being aware of kids playing is mostly just an understanding between decent human adults.
This is a remarkably combative and hostile response to someone who was successfully contributing to the conversation. You might want to relax a little.
On country roads this is true. You don't have to yield to a pedestrian who is not within city limits in most areas because of the obvious risks associated with both walking in these areas, and yielding in most of these areas with windy roads and blind turns. Keep that in mind next time those asshole runners are out and you can't pass for an extended period of time because there's 36 of them making it pretty much the equivalent of 7 semi trucks being passed on a curvy 2 lane road

If you hit a jay walker, stop, call an ambulance and try your best to help, you're fine.
But hitting a pedestrian and not stopping, you're charged with a hit and run. And because you ran, and didn't help the person, you get charged with involuntary manslaughter. But as long as you stop, you're covered.
Related story: I deliver pizza. A few weeks ago, I parked my car on the side of the road and started walking up to the customer's door with their food. Just before I reach the door, I hear a loud crash and turn around to see that someone living across the street had backed out of their driveway straight into my car. And then they just started driving away. So I chased the guy down and had a chat with him, he told me he was going to file a report because my car was 'in the road'.
Apparently people have the right to destroy anything in their path, so long as they're driving.
Actually the case in Alaska, because for two thirds of the year our roads resemble ice rinks, cars have the right of way, except for marked crossing spots (like intersections - when you have a walk signal)

Well, yeah, she took her driving test in Florida. As someone who got their license in FL, (but learned a lot more from my parents who are both good drivers), I can tell you that the driver's test in FL is severely lacking. I think I caught a lucky day at the DMV, but the entire trip (driving there, waiting in line, taking my test, filling out all the paperwork, driving back home) took like just under an hour.
Florida man gets a break today. Everyone meet Florida woman. Summers in Florida make everyone nuts.
Among other things my favorites were how she said she didn't have to stop for them...you know, "them" being children that are pedestrians in a residential area. I also liked the lecture regarding standing in the road while standing in the road blocking it with her parked car.
At the very end, you can see her roll through a stop sign without coming to a complete stop. I'm not from Florida, but I'm pretty sure that's a violation everywhere.
As it turns out most places it's completely legal to be in the street of a residentual neighborshood. Sure you need to make way for traffic but you are not committing a crime by being in the street.
I feel that a lot of parents arent letting their young kids out to play on the street anymore. I have a little brother and even my own parents don't really let him play on the street
ya it seems like parents have gotten a lot more protective over the last few years. I'm only in my early 30s now but i still remember going out every summer with the only rule being let my parents know who i was with and to be back by sundown. now most of The people i grew up with have kids and are super paranoid about something happening to their kids so the coddle them way to much. hell i had a friend who didn't want his kid to learn to ride a bike because he might fall and get hurt. people today have become wimps.

Except not really. Maybe the ones you've interacted with, and hey, maybe there has been an increase due to having the ability to monitor them more effectively with their phones and whatnot, but it's not all the kids. At least anecdotally, I always see kids playing in the street, at parks, loitering at whatever supermarket - just being outside.
I mean, it isn't ALWAYS coddling, I wasn't allowed to play on the street because we were on top of a hill that people flew through all the time. The speed people were going, they wouldn't have seen me coming up the hill.
Jebus. I mean my son is 4 so he doesn't play in the street or outside without me, but that's just common sense. Once he's 7 or 8 I really don't see the problem with playing outside unsupervised. He's already crashed his bike once because he leaned too hard on the training wheel.
Yes, I don't want my kid to get hit by one of the many cars that speed down my residential street daily with no regard for the fact that it's a neighborhood with many small children, so I don't let him play in the street. I'm such a wimp.

I always see kids playing on the street. Stops around middle school - then they just go to the mall, or parks where they use the fields and courts and stuff there. High school you still have the middle school stuff, but people are also engaging in school activities more, so they're much more likely to just be on school campus doing their thing until the evenings - that or they hold part time jobs.
What do you mean by that? Kids of all ages still play outside all the time and will continue to do so because no matter what the times, kids will be kids. Take it from a Generation Z'er.

That's his point I think, there are just a lot of sedentary activities to do now
My next door neighbors did. I used to always play in the street with my friends and my neighbors were always pissy about it. They even used to walk outside and start recording us from their front porch to "use as evidence for the police", thats what they really said.
There was even one time where me and my friends saw them driving up the street, so naturally we walked to the side so they could get through no problem. But these crazy ass neighbors decided not to drive past to their house because we were standing in the gutter area of the street and not on the sidewalk.
They spent around 25 minutes arguing and complaining about how we need to be on the sidewalk. It was apparently the worst thing in the world for them because they ended up driving all the way around the block to get to their house the other way.
People who have jobs that require them to drive down residential streets: delivery drivers and any kind of home service providers. Oftentimes these people are not paid for extra driving time. I don't get angry about it, but it irritated me to no end that the neighbors' kids would constantly play football or baseball in the street when there was a park literally on the opposite side of the street.
The no shoes thing is a myth. There are no laws against driving barefoot.

Unless you're in the city, there's usually plenty of space for kids to play while still allowing drivers to go about unhindered. They're barely an obstruction.
Totally. I played on a long dead end street as a kid. No one ever had a problem. Most of the time they would just drive past us and wave. Sometimes if we were playing a game we would have to kind of step out so they could drive in between us, but it's just not a big deal.
Not sure if it's universal, but at my college campus the law for jaywalking was that you couldn't cross the middle of the street if both intersections at the end of the block had traffic lights. So if the end of the block had a stop sign, you were completely allowed to just walk across the street wherever you felt like it. Jaywalking and just hanging out in the street aren't identical, but I feel like there's a similarity

These are suburban streets though where the end of the block is usually a stop sign, not a traffic light.
Not universal, it's local and state laws. Where I live you can jaywalk if there are no visible crosswalks within like 100yards or something(i made up the distance requirement because I don't remember it)
Lots of places you can get a permit to literally put up basketball hoops on the street like that. They are essentially public parking lots at the end of streets. It's just perfect for kids to play, like tiny public playgrounds.
I love when she said "you're minors!" like she thought it was strengthening her argument and the kid says, "You're right, we are minors!" because the reality is that she is screaming at children.

Correct, automated aggravated assault/battery versus simple assault/battery
we share the world with these people unfortunately
90% of the people we encounter in life are sane and reasonable, some are even polite and nice
9% are out of their minds, but harmlessly if unnervingly
and then there is the 1% like the mean shitbag in this video: insane and malicious
and we all need learn how to deal with these people
because we will unfortunately at some point in our life run into them. we need to know our rights, and we need to have our wits about us and keep calm but be firm and not be victimized. and ideally, record that shit: good kid!
this 14 year old, to be that coherent and composed when dealing with the dragon, is in for a good rich life, and we should all wish our own kids, never mind ourselves as adults, to be so lucid and unyielding in our rights, and not be abused by bad intentioned trash like this
If I was one of his friends, after she backed up at him and got out again, I would have jumped in her car and drive way down the street and parked it lol

I work in the juvenile justice system and that is very far from the truth.
how so? they can give them unpaid chores and punish them for not doing them, which is pretty close to like definitional slavery. if the parents aren't abusing/neglecting the child or keeping them from education (so homeschooling), they basically have carte blanche. raise them as a religious fanatic, a nazi, a moonman? drag them across the country or to another continent on a whim? forbid them from working, from socializing with people you don't like? all a-okay

Not to mention it's a neighborhood and people are allowed to be in the street. That's why there are "watch for kids" signs too. A street of a neighborhood is not a main road.

It's such a small little culdasac with a turn around too, like maybe 6-8 houses?

Haha, what's this lady doing on this little dead end street? She probably lives right there too and did that in front of/to her neighbors or knows someone that lives there and just acted like that in front of their house. But, given her volatile anger in this video, maybe she was already lost?
Im 90% sure thats not how that works...you are allowed to be on the side of a street, so hoops near the curb are okay. But actually in the street is a no no. The sign is to be cautious, not a right for kids to be in the street.

Well maybe I'm off on that point but I can say it's a common thing to have kids running around in the street. Generally they'll get out of your way but it's nothing like a main road. This also looked like it was in a culdesac and those are where the parties are. Plus it is sort of a right for the kids to be in the street. Otherwise, why would there be a sign there? You don't see a "watch out for jaywalkers" sign on the main road. That's what red lights and crosswalks are for.
Why does being in the street matter? If you're in a residential area the kids have plenty of time to go "CAAAAAR" and walk to the side to let the car pass.
Regardless of whether you are "allowed" to be in the road or not, that would in no way make it acceptable to just kill someone with your car. There's a hierarchy man.
Depends on your state. Some states have what's called "Highest degree of care," meaning that if you are operating a vehicle, it is your responsibility to operate it with the highest degree of care. This includes being aware of your surroundings and having the wherewithal and decision making skills to protect pedestrians when that becomes an issue. In other states, pedestrians are expected to follow pedestrian traffic laws just like cars follow car traffic laws. Theoretically, if you are hit and killed while jaywalking, your family could receive a posthumous ticket.

I mean, you can't purposefully run into them, but what happens when you didn't know someone was jaywalking and you bonk them? Surely they are doing something illegal and you aren't going to be getting in trouble for that.
That's probably how it works. If you hit somone on the street with no crosswalk you're probably ok. Unless there's a camera or lots of witnesses that say you accelerated to hit the person.

She's also screaming about him being in the road while simultaneously parking her car and walking in the middle of the road. I don't think her brain works.
The strict legal wording varies by state. Drivers are not always required to yield the right of way to pedestrians so if a pedestrian does something outrageously stupid and/or illegal and gets hit by a car it's not necessarily the drivers fault.
According to Florida law (Florida Statutes 316.130(15), โEvery driver (in the State of Florida) of a vehicle shall exercise due care to avoid colliding with any pedestrian or any person propelling a human-powered vehicle and give warning when necessary and exercise proper precaution upon observing any child or any obviously confused or incapacitated person.
She should have just called the cops on them if they were rolling in the road or whatever got her so uptight (assuming these are road-illegal in her state/country)
Even if that is a bitch move it is better revenge than getting into a verbal with a 14-year-old.

I think there's some kind of caveat that if you feel your life is in danger you can proceed forward if it's the only way to go.
Like there was some kind of protest because the cops killed this redneck asshole who shot at them with an assault rifle (white people, man) and this cloud-shaped lady was standing in front of a car stopping them from proceeding. But then a bunch of other protesters swarmed the drivers seat so the driver proceeded forward and the cloud-shaped lady got hit.
There was a situation in NYC a couple years back, bunch of bikers swarmed around a minivan on the highway and one dude kicked the minivan after break checking the minivan.
Driver of the minivan had his wife and kids in the car and felt threatened and BLASTED over the break check biker, also knocked a few other bikers down.
Bikers then took chase and chased the guy off the highway and into the streets where he couldn't drive anymore. They beat on his van for awhile then the cops arrived and it ended.
One of the bikers had the whole thing on video and wasn't part of the situation, he was just riding and documenting.
Break check biker who instigated ended up paralyzed in some form (if I remember correctly) but the minivan driver still didn't face any charges due to the fact that he was in a threatening position and feared for his and his family's safety.
If I recall, part of the reason he didn't face charges was he (or his wife) was on the phone with 911, and they were talking their way through the situation with the dispatcher.
Yeah, that and the video pretty much cleared up anyone's questions of his "intent" because it's pretty clear he never intended to harm anyone, he just intended to protect his family.

Drivers aren't required to yield to a pedestrian who is waiting to jaywalk, but if the pedestrian is already in front of you then you obviously have to stop if see them.

And the police report from her in Florida would be along the lines of "I felt threatened by these kids because they were in the street, so I sped up and mowed them... I mean maintained speed and hit them when they failed to move."
Actually it's the other way. Pedestrians have to yield to vehicles. She shouldn't have let these punks get to her. If she really wanted to, she could have contacted police and filed a report. They're minors, so I don't know if anything would come out of it. But I did hear of one example in my home city where the cops asked if the driver wanted to PRESS CHARGES on a jaywalker. No one got hurt but the pedestrian dinged up his car with groceries.

I'm pretty sure last year pedestrians were actually found to be at fault in the majority of accidents they were involved in. That whole it's always on the driver thing is a myth.
So it depends on jurisdiction, but where I live it works like this.
Pedestrians crossing at controlled intersections have to obey their signals
Pedestrians crossing mid block are required to yield to traffic.
A driver that encounters pedestrians crossing mid block is required to make every effort to avoid a collision
That means, if you're on a fairly major road, you should attempt to avoid any pedestrians, but if someone jumps out in front of your car at the last second, at night, wearing all black, the driver will not be charged with anything.
In a residential neighborhood, in broad daylight, you should absolutely expect children playing on or near the road, and there's no conceivable excuse for hitting someone unless the full out sprint in front of you from behind a parked car.
This woman is insane, and absolutely in the wrong.
Not in every state. Well, you're always supposed to yield but what changes is really who is responsible. In California, pedestrians can cross wherever they damn well choose, but in New York, you could be waiting in the street for an hour trying to cross, no one is obligated to stop for you when your are not at a crosswalk.
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 16:59:55 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah, I was going to say. No court is going to let you off if you hit some kids and you had ample opportunity to stop and not hit them. you definetely also will not get away with hitting a kid because you're annoyed with him
If you hit someone by accident when they're not at a crosswalk then the driver isn't liable. If they did it with intent that's a different story, but there's no way to prove that. So it's better to yield and have a dash cam
Back in highschool a cop almost ran me over at a cross walk. While I had the right of way. Then flashed the sirens and gave me a lecture in the gas station parking lot about looking both ways, and not cutting off cars.
Straight up told him that pedestrians have the right of way and it was the drivers responsibility to check for hazards, especially when turning on a red light through a school zone cross walk. He wasn't amused.
Whenever I see instances of people like this either on video or driving like morons during my commute I am always utterly unsurprised that their cars are damaged in some fashion or another.
And I'm sure it was 100% the other persons fault then too.
That is not true. Growing up, shortly after he learned to drive a friend of mine hit a kid that ran into traffic. Multiple wittnesses said he tried to stop but couldn't and the kid just ran out. Sadly the kid died, but my friend did not get a ticket - there was nothing he could do to yield. That's just one obvious example but it's not accurate to say "always".... another example, if a mob of people surround your car and you fear for your life, you don't have to sit there to wait to be killed, you are allowed to protect yourself. That said, NONE of those situations apply to this woman but I'd hate to learn that someone died or didn't stand up for themselves because they think they must yield in all circumstances to pedestrians. There's always exceptions.

Kind of. If a person darts out between cars nowhere near a crosswalk into an avenue where cars going the speed limit are hitting 50 mph, the drivers have absolutely no expectation of seeing a pedestrian in the vehicles' right of way. Yes, the driver should do absolutely everything in their power to safely yield, but physics happens, and if this ped is struck, it's likely the driver won't be charged with anything. This is me speaking from experience of exactly this. I was the first person on the scene after witnessing exactly this happen. The pedestrian died, the driver walked away Scott-free (legally). They must have been mentally and emotionally fucked.

They never got out of the street. She had to pass them eventually.
Actually no, if the vehicles have the right of way then they do not have to yield. For example if someone is walking across a state highway with no cross walks, you are not under an obligation to yield to a pedestrian.
I want to start screaming "I don't have to yield to you" at random pedestrians.

And she said his phone wasn't His property because his parents paid for it. And I believe towards the end she said he didn't have the right to film her. And she said he needs to leave the neighborhood because he doesn't live there. Everything she said is verifyably false.
There is an exception to this, and that is if the driver reasonably feels that their life is in danger. Not the case here, but you're phrasing it as an absolute and it's not.
Edit: For all of you telling me I do t know what I'm talking about, thanks. I've lived here seven years, have never seen a 40 here, and have been told by people that work in beer distribution that they can't be sold here. Sorry for ruffling feathers.

The allure of personal gain in exchange for giveaways to business (I'm looking at you, Sugar) have long been the Achilles' heel of Florida policy making.
This is true. I lived in Florida for ten years collectively. Florida doesn't sell 40s, I repeat FLORIDA DOES NOT SELL 40s. They sell QUARTS which are 32 ounces, it says it on the label. They are very similar in size though so I can understand the confusion.
I confirm. You cant get a 32 oz but not a 40 oz in fl.

You're correct you have to go to Georgia for the real 40's coming from a born and raised sw Floridian. Ended up getting a real 40 (not the 32oz) in a gas station in Atlanta on a work trip.
Lol at everyone telling you that you're wrong about the 40s, when I went to fsu in 2009 we'd drive to Georgia to get 40s since you can't buy them in FL so you're definitely right, lived in Florida for 20 years.
You are correct, I used to have to drive to Georgia to get 40s in college, these people don't know what they're talking about. Biggest you can get is 32oz
I grew up a stones throw from Floridy. We would drive from Alabama to the Florida border to buy Old English and St. Ides 40oz in the late 90's. They probably changed some laws regarding 40s.
Apparently you never read that bill because while it made 64 oz growlers and up legal, 40 oz beers are still a no go. I work in the industry, nice try though.
Then you'll still need to explain why every gas station in my area (Okaloosa) sells 40s. They might be breaking the law, but that doesn't change the fact that you can easily buy a 40 in fl.
Every gas station in your area is breaking multiple laws by not only selling 40s, but also illegally shipping them across state lines to bypass the alcohol distributors who won't sell them in state.
Pretty sure i can see the difference between the numbers "32" and "40". Old English 40s all have a big 40 above the name, so it's kinda hard to mix up the sizes. If they're doing it illegally, then so be it. No one is getting hurt from it except maybe alcoholics, but they can just go buy a growler instead and get even more.
So you're suggesting that despite this not happening in any other part of the state, all the gas stations in your area are risking legal action, fines, and loss of their licenses by illegally selling alcohol, illegally purchasing alcohol from non-licensed distributors, and either illegally transporting alcohol across state lines or conspiring with someone who does, just to sell a low profit margin item like a 40 when a 32 is perfectly legal? Seems incredibly far fetched. The far more likely explanation is that you're mistaken.
I understand where you're coming from, I'm a fan of Occams Razor myself, however I can only speak of my personal experiences. Also, this isn't ALL has stations in my county (afaik), this is just the 3 near me, so i assumed it was legal and no different for the rest of the state. If I worded it like all of them in my county sell it, I apologize as I meant only the 3 that I frequent. Hell, I never even knew they were illegal till this thread. I'm not saying what they're doing is a smart or even an average idea, it's stupid for how little money i would assume they'd make.
But they aren't doing that. You're wrong. You've been wrong before. You'll be wrong again. Either let the healing begin, or post proof...you're not going to convince anyone with your words
Call me wrong all you want, I'm just saying what I'm seeing in stores. Also, I don't care whether or not you're convinced, as I can see for myself when I go to those stores. What reason would I have to lie about buying a 40oz beer, anyway? That's not exactly something to be proud of.
False. I live in Okaloosa County and have never seen a 40 in Florida. Not only is it illegal, but the beer distributors don't have them here so there's no way to get them to your fictional gas station that carries them. Aside from growlers, 32 oz is the biggest you can buy here, which is what every gas station carries.
Off 98? Pretty much every gas station i go to has them, so unless you're in North Okaloosa, you should be able to get them at the Tom Thumbs on 98. Santa Rosa even has one that sells em
I don't need to explain that, either they are doing so illegally or you are mistaken about the volume of alcohol you are purchasing. Just because one store in your small town may be selling it, doesn't make it easy for the whole state. I've been all over fla and never seen one being sold.
Considering the label has a big 40 above the name, I'm pretty sure it's an OE 40oz., so yeah they must be selling illegally, but that's fine by me. Let's me get 40s and no one is a victim so no harm done in my eyes

I can go to the corner store not even a 2 minute walk away and get one any time except between 4am and 8am. Hell, I had one last week, so they're definitely sold here and in my experience, almost every gas station in my area has them.
Pretty sure. Last i remember, the label had a big 40 above the name with 2 smaller 40s next to it. If they are in fact illegal, then the stores haven't been busted yet (and i don't plan on reporting something that stupid either lol).
Yeah, it's widely believed because we learn it in driver's ed. In illinois circa 2009, I definitely remember my drivers education teacher/librarian telling us it was illegal to drive shoeless.
Oh definitely. Lies My Teacher Told Me was written for a student receiving an education in most US settings. So, most of my knowledge of American history leaving high school was skewed from reality. One of our history teachers would literally show clips from Fox News. Typical things like Christopher Columbus being a decent human being I learned in college. But, some teachers were really good-like we had an American Problems class. We read about economic systems and poverty and war. We actually engaged questions thought to be taboo like abortion and religion.
But, I didn't live in Chicago. I was downstate, so there are many different experiences. But, mine was colored by rural poverty. That probably matters a lot.

It's like how people think you can get a DUI for biking drunk but most states actually specify that it has to be a motor vehicle to get a DUI.
Barefoot driving isn't illegal in any state. (including Florida). It's possible in any state that if you are in an accident they may hit you for reckless driving if they determine being barefoot was the cause. But the act itself is perfectly legal. Not trying to be a contrarian. Just want you to know you have the option.

Couldnt hey do the same if your footwear was determined to be the cause? Flip-flop gets caught under pedal or shoe has no tread and your foot slips.
Common misconception bud. None of the 50 states have laws against barefoot driving, however it can be factored in as cause if you end up in an accident. Source: I hate shoes.
Quick google search says it's perfectly legal in Florida, not recommended since it's more likely your feet will slip (I call bullshit on that, I feel much more in control barefoot) but not illegal
I'm pretty opposed to the whole bare foot driving being illegal. I believe it is in California as well, but I'm wearing sandals for 70% of the year and it's far safer to drive with your sandal kicked off than it is trying drive while wearing it.
Edit: Well, apparently according to the other replies driving barefoot is legal in every state. I guess my driver's ed teacher was just full of shit.
she is probably on her way to the liquor store to get some bottom shelf booze. at least she looks like the 1 of 2 types of people i see at my local liquor store buying the cheapest crap available. it is people like her and poor college students who just want to get trashed.
Just to correct this: Alabama is the only state that has a law stating motorcyclists must wear shoes to drive the vehicle. No other state in the USA has a law against driving barefoot.
Im not sure about that, but i do it because it gives me more of a feel for the pedal. Its easier to determine just how far you are pushing the pedal down than it is when wearing shoes/flip flops
Interesting... If they highly don't recommend it, then why not ban it? I'm not saying that if you drive barefoot you will crash, I'm just saying to make it a little safer for everyone. What happens if you stub your toe and hit someone?
I Highly reccomend not fucking a cactus... but it's not illegal. And safer for everyone if you don't, it doesn't need to be law if it pertains to common sense. Which Florida lacks completely

They highly recommend not smoking or over drinking either but people would flip their shit if they banned that.
Honestly, it's probably safer to drive barefoot than with flipflops or other shoes that are not well fitted. I have driven barefoot and you can feel the response of the car so much better than when you use a shoe.

How am I going to stub my toe while I'm driving?
Driving barefoot is much safer than driving in high heels, flip-flops, sandals ...
For what it's worth, I live in California, but I've heard from a few different Highway Patrolmen it's not illegal. However, it will cause issues with your car insurance as it's usually something they strictly prohibit in their policies.
Driving bare foot is illegal? That's bizzarro. I've always heard people say "oh it's dangerous to drive barefoot" but... it fucking isn't. You don't need shoes to operate the pedals effectively, if you're in a serious wreck, shoes won't stop your feet from getting mangled. It's a myth. It doesn't hold up to scrutiny. In fact, I'd say it's more dangerous sometimes to drive while wear shoes, like sandals, flip flops, certain kinds of boots, definitely heels... Shoes can get jammed with the pedals not easily, but easier than feet.

I instantly muted the video and just noticed those huge tits she had. I'm willing to bet she has nudes somewhere and that /r/BiggerThanYouThought would love them.
Not defending her at all, just an observation. She had flip flops on the first time she got out of the car, she picked them up off the street and threw them in her car when she got back in the first time. So she wasn't driving barefoot at first.
I understand. I was just saying that she wasn't driving barefoot initially as everyone was saying. Whether it was safe or not.

I drive barefoot when I'm wearing flip flops or heels because I feel like not doing so would be unsafe. Never understood why it would be dangerous to drive barefoot... but not while wearing pumps or slippers?
Assuming your car floor isn't clean, like most of us, it's possible you might step on a pebble or branch or something pokey and that might cause you to momentarily lose control of your vehicle. For example if you need to stop suddenly and quickly and stomp on the brake but hit a pebble that is stuck to the pedal you will reflexively pull your foot off of the pokey object thusly not stopping and hitting the whatever object caused you to stomp on the brake.
The consistently flatness of the bottom of a shoe is assumed to have more reliable control of the pedals than the inconsistent bottom of your foot.
I believe that often the regulations are actually about wearing shoes not specifically about driving barefoot. If you take off your shoes and try to drive in socks/nylons/stockings your feet have less traction and additionally might slip within the confines of your sock/stocking/nylons.
That's how it was explained to me. I don't know if that is completely correct but it makes sense-ish.

That makes sense but at the same time sounds like why not just make driving illegal because you might sneeze when you need to maneuver and kill yourself and family of four. You know. Hahaha. But I get it just playing devils advocate.
But I drive barefoot sometimes and I'm in California. Its usually while I am wearing flip flops. I take them off to drive then put them back on when I get out of the car.
Driving barefoot is ok. Dinged up car is ok. Smoking, vaping, torn up car seats, all windows down on a hot day, yelling at kids while standing in the road for being in the road, short temper, thigh tattoo (bold ankle/neck), Florida plates, parked at night in trailer park, all ok.
If you combine any two of these...
Speaking as a native Floridian I have got to ask, say she were wearing sandals. Wouldn't driving barefoot be preferable because driving in flip-flops is difficult seeing as those guys always snag on the gas/break/clutch pedals.
We joke but seriously, is there something in the water that makes people stupid? There's some serious issues going on there to produce this many knuckle draggers.
My honest to god opinion is that it has to do with the heat and humidity. I'm in Canada, so we get maybe 2-3 weeks of anything that even approaches summer, and usually the number of days where it goes over +30C can be counted just on your fingers. Here we are end of July, and here we had one day of 30 degrees so far this year. But when it happens, people turn stupid. I seriously thought it was just confirmation bias on my part, and that because of the heat I just notice these things more and they aggravate me more. But I started to consciously observe what people are doing, and whenever it gets hot, people do get dumber. Which sort of makes sense - if your video card gets overheated, you start getting artifacts on the screen. I'm guessing much the same happens with human brain. And given Florida temperatures and humidity, year after year, it just stacks up.
I had friends move down to florida for a few years from here in NY. They recently came back and couldn't begin to explain just how fucking weird everything about that state was.

Yes. Fluoride. In my hometown we have radium and a huge list of other garbage in our water. Make sure you research what's in your tap water before drinking it.
Joking that its a danger. Its actually in ALL municipal water mandated by the government (atleast it is supposed to be.) it's also in toothpaste and a fuck ton of other things.
[deleted] ยท -1 points ยท Posted at 15:56:13 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That's what makes it dangerous. You can get fluorosis by taking in too much fluoride and it's literally everywhere. There's no telling how much fluoride children are absorbing, whom are more susceptible.
Honestly have no idea if Flouride is good or bad or whatever, but it'd probably be nice to not have it added to the water. Other countries with good water don't do it, seems like a thing we don't really need.
That said, I don't think Florida is the only state that does the whole flouride thing, so I doubt it's causing the crazy. The other stuff they brought up though I'm pretty dang sure I don't have in my tap water so they may have a good point there.
Apparently it's an unpopular opinion to say that I'm not a fan of unnecessary teeth cleaning chemicals being added to the water? You can have clean water without Flouride.
Like if you want to use flouride then have that be an option, obviously. But why allow it to be something that everyone has no choice in if it's literally only for cavity prevention? Seems like an awful lot of money being spent on something that you can take care of yourself on the cheap.
All world countries with government controlled municipal water have fluoride in their water. Countried that don't have literally undrinkable water. Try drinking tap water in china. You will be shitting liquid pudding for days.
Google disagrees with you... Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, etc etc etc. All disagree on that front. Some use salt flouridation, some refuse any flouridation at all. Japan apparently goes for calcium flouridation instead of "industrial sodium flouride". And none of those places are renown for their awful water.
You can have clean water without flouride, since the point of flouride is to prevent cavities... There's plenty of other things that go into cleaning water, as far as I'm aware.
Anyways, point is I'm not a big fan of unnecessary chemicals being added to the water. If you can have clean water without it, don't use it.
I've heard arguments go both ways on Flouride, gotta admit I'd prefer that it wasn't added and instead left as an optional add in thing for individuals to choose.
That said, fucking hell, there's that much other garbage going on in the water there? I was halfway kidding, but if that's the case it honestly probably does explain it.
Kinda like how unleading gasoline solved a shit ton of violence issues in America, maybe fixing what's going on in the water will fix Florida.
I'm not American.

To elaborate on the other comments, in the USA vehicle registration is done on a state-to-state basis, not by the whole country. So, some states require two plates, some states only require one, some states require annual inspections, some require only when you buy the car, some don't require any at all, it's kinda all over the place. Every state has their own sets of rules for how they handle cars.
I broke a door handle on my old beige Camry and went to the junkyard to try to get a replacement. They were all broken or gone. Toyota made some shitty door handles.
Toyota camrys, specifically the 1995-2001 model seem to be notorious for breaking their door handles. And there are hundreds of thousands still on the road.
I sold my old beige Toyota Camry to a poorer person in town, and it had a broken door handle and window within a couple of months. I was kind of amazed. They also put a trailer hitch on it to haul around jet-skis. I found that amusing.

My real concern is why is this lady complaining about kids playing in a culdesac?
She had to have gone out of her way to try and hit these kids who were playing in the road. Either she knows someone living in the culdesac, and should be respectful of the children of those families, or she turned down a street so she could get enraged over nothing.

I'm actually glad those kids were outside instead of on an ipad
It's possible those kids refused to move out of the way as she approached. I've had that happen to me, not with kids playing, but teens crossing the street. They go extra slow. I just stop, put my elbow up in the windowsill and lean my head on my hand like I've got all the time in the world. Since I'm not getting angry like they want me to, they realize pretty quickly that they actually want to be somewhere other than the middle of the street and move on. But maybe these kids were trying to get a rise and succeeded.
90's Camrys had the shittiest door handles, recently replaced all 4 inside and out on a '94 Camry, all were broken off ($30 for a complete new set inside and out though, so at least cheap to fix). Window regulators also commonly go bad in those, so it's also pretty common to a window or two taped up. The engines run forever, so there's a lot more opportunity for other stuff to break before they go to a junk yard.

First time I saw this video, I believe it said the kids were doing something stupid, like pretending to throw rocks, or skateboarding on the streets. Not as stupid as threatening a kid, but some typical 'it's just a prank bro' stuff.
Kids riding skate/hoverboards in the street is not a prank on someone else. Being in the street is literally how you play with those toys.
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 23:44:52 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I more meant the attitude that the kid has, rather than their actions being pranks. As I implied, I'm not sure what exactly happened, I just think there was a reason given. Needless to say, no reason is good enough to justify this crazy bitch's actions.
EDIT: There are also skateparks, and I meant in the middle of the road, not down the sidewalk.
why are thigh tats white trash? Besides like, the content of the tattoo, the only place i could really consider white trash is face tattoos, since that would probably limit the types of jobs you could get.
Kid asked at the end, "what is wrong with people these days?" Hate to break it to him, but people have always been bastards. It's not a new phenomenon.
He surely handled it like a boss. I watched this with my girlfriend as soon as we woke up, she's making fun of me because this got my blood broiling pretty good, I need a cigarette lol

In Toronto they're trying to ban street hockey. Street hockey has been the thing to do for like 100 years. It's like trying to ban throwing a football in a park in Texas. Pathetic, no wonder kids are so fat.
I mean I'd ban it downtown where people are all driving, but not in neighborhoods. It's also a lot different than banning football, because parks are for playing, and streets are for driving, chilling in the middle of the street is different than grass.
Literally no one plays in streets with heavy circulation though, only in purely residential suburbs where you just move the goal post when a car wants to get through every 20 minutes or something.
Me too, I made a lot of friends down at the cul-de-sac

Yeah exactly, cars understood this and drove slowly through neighborhoods. When a car came, it slowed down and waited and you had to move your improv goal posts/etc and get out of the way, and then re set up. Nobody had a problem with this, it was how kids played in the suburbs. I guess now people aren't used to it with the internet/etc so they get heated. What a crazy lady. It's hilarious that I saw a Florida joke last week about how whenever you see a video like this and wonder where it's from, it's always Florida... and then yup.

I hate this mentality and i've seen it first hand too many times. A
few months ago i was working as a race marshall for a marathon that came through a suburb. I was standing at a T-junction telling people to turn around and drive down 2 blocks where there was a properly manned crossing. This one dude absolutely wasn't having it. He tried to force his car on the course so I stood in front of his car and he almost ran me over. Several people had to come up and help me talk this moron down. Then evetually he drove off in a huff and said "Since when did people become more important than cars".
I live in TX and I'm white, we've got plenty of these trailer trash, missing teeth types of honkeys here. White privilege looking down their nose at you. It's all over.
Oh Jesus... I don't think it's White privilege that makes them think or act that way.
Just shorty people being shitty people, let's not just throw around stupid phrases like "White privilege" unless someone is blatantly trying to use something as rare as white privilege lol
Really how so?
You have a good job only because you're white, not because you worked for it?
How about a car? A wife? Friends? Stable future? All because you're white?
If that was satire I'm way off but it's hard to convey sarcasm thru text sometimes so my bad if I'm off here lol
I do not and have no idea what you're referring to, But seeing as how I don't I imagine it's because it's rare and stuff like that doesn't happen every often at all.
You are right that this incident had nothing to do with white privilege. However you're wrong saying white privilege is rare. It's everywhere If you look for it. The term annoys me too because I grew up poor and experienced it less. But it is a thing that happens every day. Example: a story of a white woman moving to Harlem and continuously complaining to the police, city and mayor about an ice cream truck playing music out on the street because it annoys her. That is a form of white privilege showing. Source: am white person.
Lmao what?!
seems like it's everywhere for you because you're looking for it.
Go out with the mindset that's it everywhere and you'll def find it, because you "know" it's there hahaha
Are you one of those white folks who apologizes for shot you didn't do and never would do? But hey someone white did bad things before me so my bad...
I just recognize what's there. If you don't that's your problem. I don't apologize for things I didn't do. But I will apologize for ignorant fuckwads who look like me.
Why you have nothing to be sorry for?
Just like black folks that live normal lives don't have to apologize when some random gang members kill an innocent bystander, which happens all the time mind you.
Just like legal hispanics in the country either born here or came here legit and got citizenship don't have to apologize for other hispanics legal or not that kill people drunk driving, or rob people or bring their crime mentality here.
Just like Muslims who are normal like me and you have nothing to be sorry for when some radical asshats lop off another head or shoot up a Florida night club....
why are you so sorry for people you don't even know? Because they have less melanin in your skin like someone else who did something bad?
Quit apologizing till you did something wrong. You contradicted yourself in your own statement.
So this situation had white people interacting with other white people with white people looking over in the background so its white privilege? Haha your logic is supreme
I see a lot of it while I'm at home and it's kinda annoying. Nothing I can do but roll the window down and say hello to kids, and hope they have a good safe day. Remember that change starts with you <3

And this guy is not white, so of course every conflict he encounters with a white person is because of white privilege. Not class privilidge, not wealth privilege. Its because theyre white and hes not and hes being systematically oppressed. The implication is that if this happens to anyone who isnt white, its proof of white priviledge. MAKES SENSE

Alright, I'll just come clean about it, then.
It was a microaggression, intended in good fun. Regardless of your feelings about microaggressions, racial humor or the state of race relations in the US right now, I think you'd have to admit that our particular situation involving that particular word between white and black people, and the different spellings of that word and how they are used and what they mean under what circumstances and between which people is something probably completely unprecedented in human language and cultures. I don't think any other groups in history would have been so educated and so interconnected in communications and news to care enough to get things this complicated.
But maybe we can sometimes go too far, too. My joke isn't funny despite being prickly. It's funny because it's prickly. I'm ribbing whomever is sensitive enough to feel it out there-- in this case, maybe you. If so, ha!

But who's getting rid of them? We know they are spawning at an alarming rate.
And yet, whenever we read about people getting killed, with the exception of a few Darwin Award-winners, we just assume that the people killed were not pieces of trash like this woman...But they are, aren't they?
Maybe we should just start assuming that at least 75% of all the people killed by anything were absolute trash, since that seems to be the percentage of people I meed who are trash. If we assume that, then every tragic news story becomes quite a bit less tragic.
We should have ways to determine whether or not someone who died was trash. Then, if they were, we can reward the person who killed them, rather than punish.
South GA north FL is trash all the way across, I've seen and battled with this chick (not HER but people like her) for years, they always walk away thinking they're right, or at least that it's acceptable based on whatever triggered them being an excuse.
Sorry to the Florida people. But Florida is full of trash. Full of trashy people and old retired entitled people who vote in politicians to shit on those trashy people. The only think I like about Florida is that we shoot rockets off there. Everything else sucks. Gators, hot weather, and most the people are like this bitch in the video.
Born and still residing in St. Petersburg. The city is quickly filling with entitled douches of all ages. "Have you seen our brand new luxury condos?" Should be the city's new motto.
Disney world is cool but Disneyland is still surprisingly better. Better cheap food, better parades, better rides, better weather, better events, Indiana Jones ride, cars land, Halloween at Disneyland is way better than Disney world, everything is orderly and close together so you don't spend too much time wandering, more fastpasses, cheaper hotels, more updated and so much more.
I did like Animal Kingdom for events and rides and Epcot for food though.
I love people that complain about Florida like this. "I hate Florida there's gators". Yeah man that's part of why Florida is great.

I agree. I only lived in Florida for a year, but I really loved it. Sure, there were a lot of trashy and/or entitled people, but I met just as many friendly people as well. The wildlife was one of my favorite parts. I loved seeing lizards on the house wall, or maybe a gator chilling next to a pond. You don't see that kind of stuff where I live now.
There are shitty people everywhere. People just like to shit on Florida but I have been all over the US and the environment of Florida is very unique. "It's hot". No shit Sherlock
Vacation spot. Not a livable spot. I agree Florida can be fun for a vacation. Especially if you just plan to get fucked up (but don't smoke weed.) remember Florida was the state trying to make pipes illegal while other states were legalizing. When I say they suck I don't just mean the trashy people. Their politics is ass backwards as well.
Floridian here. Most people are NOT like the woman in that video. There are a lot, sure. And I've lived in a few other states in my life and have learned that shitty people exist everywhere.
Fuck generalizations made because people only see the minority portrayed on Reddit. If I started taking video of all the decent, respectful people I cross every day of my life and posted them online they'd get like 8 views each.
Reminds me of the "Humans of _____" series. That was pretty dope. Basically just pictures of people this guy stopped for a moment to ask about their lives.
I'm not generalizing based off Reddit. I have gone to Florida almost twice a year for 20 so years. My father worked in social work helping inner city kids. We took trips to Disney and other parts of Florida yearly. As well as went as a family other times and when I became a teen I went for spring break with friends. Even was down there one summer for the Daytona 500. All my generalizations are passed of my experience down there. Also in other comments I have pointed out how ass backwards Florida politics are. The people are douches and the politics reflect that.
There are terrible people everywhere, but don't lump in the entire state when you say these things. There are bastions of intellectuals all over Florida, with dozens of giant College towns, not to mention all of South Florida.
I went to Miami last week and they had some of the worst entitled drivers I have encountered in the US. No blinkers, riding your tail, pulling out in front of you. Then the pedestrians just walk on don't walk signs. Glad I didn't stay. Although Disney world was fun.
The only place I went to that was worse was the Bahamas.

another Reddit Psychologist, making an armchair diagnosis lol
I mean he literally just apologized to her in the beginning of the video and told her to have a nice day. That should have been the end of it. Her actions were extremely childish, he was being more of an adult than she was. We never saw what happened before hand, you can't just say that they jumped out in front of her trying to antagonize and provoke her.
Yes sometimes 14 year olds can be dicks. I think almost everybody was like that at some point when they were kids. But if you're an adult, show some maturity and just walk away from it. If they're not seriously harming you and are just doing what kids do then why bother? You should be above this, you need to set an example for them. Just a simple warning to the kids to be careful when they're playing on the road would have been more than enough.
Verbally threatening or physically assaulting children will never help them to learn anything. It will only make them more fearful and untrusting of adults. This just reinforces negative behaviours and makes them worse.
A fully grown adult seriously threatening to beat up a random child is just pathetic.

"You have no fucking respect." And she smartly continues, "your parents need to beat your fucking ass," as she punches her fist into her palm with every syllabyle as she walks towards him.
"You can go just go on," is not how a sincere apology starts. That's how you exert authority over someone else. She was dismissed from his presence.
The behavior of the group also matters. A kid was screaming at the start and one spit on her car, too.
Her complete trashiness and immaturity unbecoming her age aside, no one in this video is demonstrating great conflict resolution skills.

From what I gathered the kids were on the street (doesn't seem to be any sidewalks) and the lady passed, presumably close to them or something like that. One of the kids flipped her off (not the one filming) and she didn't take it very well.
While it seems neither party was really in the right, her reaction, especially when directed at kids, definitely puts her in the wrong.

Is the road not a cul-de-sac? I live in a cul-de-sac, it's the perfectly place for kids to play as it's safe. it's not like kids don't get out of the way when they see a car approaching.

I think it's just a street in a suburb(not completely sure whether it is a cul-de-sax or not), but still I feel like when it's in a suburb it's still alright since you aren't likely going to get a car going over 30 or much traffic at all.
Actuallyyyyy flipping people off is legally protected in florida. And driving within a certain distance of pedestrians and driving the speed she peeled off on a residential road are both illegal.

I believe flipping someone off is legal is every state.
I believe that is only on the boardwalk though and is hardly upheld. Usually they will only ticket you if you are loudly cursing Infront of police officers/being obnoxious to everyone around you.
I get the sense it's one of those homeless person laws. "You're not really doing anything wrong but you smell like shit and are making people uncomfortable and keep asking for money. You've been using foul language out here so you broke that law"

Not at all. Supreme court is just the highest level court. So Texas Supreme Court is the highest Court in Texas, and the Supreme Court is the highest Court federally, overruling State supreme courts.
I think what he's saying is that many states have a supreme court of their own, which performs the same function as the federal supreme court except only with state laws.
Sure it's legal, but flipping people off is still childish. Fortunately they are literally children, so having a talk to the manager melt down over it is still a great indication of her own personality
Something happened before to trigger the argument, then she was driving off and his buddy flipped her off. Guessing the kids were being little dickheads in the middle of the fucking street. Yes, her reaction is inappropriate but im sure the kids arent angels either.
I'm not saying that they weren't being dickheads, but it's kinda expected to have kids playing in the middle of the street of a suburban neighborhood, especially on a cul-de-sac

being little dickhead
By hanging out on hoverboards? Her whole issue was that they were in the street to begin with. How do you get "being little dickheads" out of them being in a goddamn culdesac where kids being in the road is almost expected
Totally agree that lady was an asshole. But to play devils advocate I also think the boy was an asshole. Feel like he was aware of the position he was in by holding a camera and I feel he exploited that. Helps when u have a brainless gimp to exploit tho!!

Agree. Wouldn't shut up and had no problem approaching her and her car, but freaked out calling assault the second she took a step toward him.
Lady was off her handle and totally in the wrong, but fuck that little kid and his YouTube video. "What's wrong with people these days," he asks. He's part of the problem right there.
Edit:RE: my childhood. Raised by a cop and was taught the difference between being respectful and being a smart ass.
Fuckin right he exploited it. What other defense does he have? He's 14. My daughter is 14. I teach her to do shit just like this in case an adult three times her age threatens her, approaches her aggressively, or tries to run her over with a car.
How bout you teach your daughter not to play in the roads man. My daughters are my life and I consistently teach them to have courage in their convictions and to never back down when morally right. However u cannot reason with stupidity and this situation is a prime example of when u should turn the other cheek. If this was my daughter I'd be far more proud if when he apologised he then continued on his way. Then he had the high moral ground. But no as usual with the youth today there first instinct is to grab there smart device. And that my friend is what's wrong in the world today!!

While the kids are in the street, it is in a residential. They have the right away and can even be in the street all they want. Should they move when cars come, sure, but they did not do anything wrong based on the footage.

The lack of sidewalks is intentional too. Urban city planning does this on purpose to slow down traffic in residential areas.
Based on her statement of " don't have to yield to you" when speaking to a pedestrian I think she knows she was in the wrong. In neighborhoods like these vehicles are to yield to pedestrians. At least that is what they told me when I was in middle school in Florida. They also said, its better to be alive than dead right.

I have to give it to the kid who's doing the recording. He was quite calm throughout the whole confrontation. He even try to admit to his mistake and apologize.
This would of went very bad for the driver this is were to happen in Philly. The whole neighborhood would of came out and jumped her. And these teens here are the worse. They love to fight for some reason. I.e. The knockout game.
From his response in the main video he doesn't seem the type of guy to lie (the woman also said she doesn't have to yield, supporting the guy's video). But yeah he could be lying.
Exactly. Everyone seems to have forgotten about this thing called "context."
She's still a shithead, but I have a feeling that the kid is likely also a shithead. Weird how we have no video from him showing whatever he might have done! So inexplicable...
Honestly it seems like she tried to speed by them in the neighborhood since she claimed she didn't have to yield to them. Sounds like s lady who has a problem with kids playing in the street.
Imagine your kid riding his/her bike in the street and some car barrels within inches of them just to prove a point. I know I'd be pissed.
I mean, he's 14. That's what kids that age do. That woman though...
Even he had been an asshole, and even if he had genuinely been nasty to her from the start, any adult should know better than to start arguing with a random 14-year-old boy on the street.
Even if he yelled at her and cursed her out she's an adult. She tried hitting him with a car and was going to get in his face and take his phone. She doesn't have the right to do that. If I saw someone talking to my kid like that and threatening my kid and trying to run them over wed have a big problem id be calling the cops right away.
Right. Maybe the kid was acting out initially. But that doesn't give you the right to try and run them over and threaten them. And say you're going to take their phone and smash it.
She doesnt have the right to do that but lets not pretend the kid is completely innocent either which was what OP was saying. If I saw someone doing that to my kid, I would call the cops but I would also check if my kid wasnt being a little shit either.
Too many parents believe their kids are little angels that could do no harm and get blinded by fury if you dare imply otherwise. You have to be non-biased towards these things
I can still punish my kid afterwards if need be and protect them from being attacked from a crazy lady. Even if my kid cursed her out and keyed her car if she tried to hit them with a car that's not ok and I'd protect them. A good parent should be able to do both.
I can still punish my kid afterwards if need be and protect them from being attacked from a crazy lady.

Neither of us were diagreeing with that though. See:

Both me and OP were pointing out that even if the lady was going too far, we are also missing the first part that lead to this. We're too quick in making this black and white.
Well you wouldn't start filming until shit went down. Although I believe the kids probably were. They are 14 year old boys. They are, by definition, shitheads.

There are many species of cleptoparasitic bees. They prey upon other solitary bee species (which most bees are), waiting for the mother to go out for another round of pollen or nectar collecting. The cleptoparasite swoops into the nest, kills the mother-bee's egg and replacing it with her own. When the mother-bee returns, she resumes her normal activities...unaware that now, she is raising an intruder. She will end up raising this illegitimate child off of her own labor.
I wish the assistant manager at my last job knew that. She was a bitch, yelling at people, writing them up for things that weren't even their fault, blaming people for stuff that didn't even happen when they were on shift. And because the owner didn't like confrontation she just let the ASM run rampant.
Then there is me, the youngest shift lead there at 20 years old. So I was closer to the age of most of the employees. I was nice to them, I talked to them like they actually knew how to do their jobs, and wow, they respected me and did everything I asked of them. But according to the ASM, because I was nice they didn't respect me and it was my fault that they didn't respect her. Mhm. Makes sense.
Hell, even the lady who was ASM before her and stepped down was really strict, and had ACTUALLY seen me managing the crews for extended periods of time, was like "what the fuck does she mean? You're doing fine and they respect you more than they respect her."
Can't tell you how many times I heard the current ASM bitching about how she needs respect and how shitty and disrespectful the employees are.
A lightbulb just lit up in my head. Going through that whole situation now to a level I have never seen and this made me go ohhhh. Maybe it's NOT me being a horrible person..
I don't know. Every person I have ever met that stated demands "respect" has always been the least deserving of it. Seems to be a trope of the lowest common denominator.
Sure, I can think of lots of times when people "demanded respect" as a roundabout way to demand baseless authority over someone else...
But I can also think of plenty of times when people who seriously deserved respect from their community/peers were given none, and had to ask for it forcefully before people realized they needed to shut up and listen.
Has demanding respect ever made anyone magically respect the person throwing the fit? It's as if they genuinely don't understand what respect is if they demand it...
It can sometimes make people pretend to respect you. Of course as you walk away, they're muttering "bitch" under their breath and telling everyone how shitty a person you are when you're out of earshot.

Dumbass was in the middle of the road when he had already "gotten her number plate."
Why is he in the middle of the road?
She had clear control of the car and stopped a good 5m before the smartass.
Because with her out of the way the road is clear & it's not a problem to anyone; he's getting another shot of the license & if they need to get off the road quickly, it's very easy to do so. eg. As he does when she starts reversing.
& no actually; she's an adult who's screaming at young teens for playing outside, & then threatening to break their phone & "beat their ass" & refuses to simply move on a few times. She's clearly very irrational, hectic, not really thinking straight at all; so assuming "she's trying to hit me with her car" isn't that big of a leap.

If you have to ask for respect at all, that's a sure sign that you don't deserve it.
Yup. I learned at a very early age that you need to respect anyone who is older than you is complete and utter bullshit. Some people are just children that have never grown up. They have possessions and responsibility but nothing else. You can't demand respect it's something that needs to be earned.
I disagree with the earned part. I think everyone starts out with a standard amount of respect, and we adjust from there. I don't have a complete lack of respect for strangers.

This. Thank you. We should all have a basic human respect for everyone. Let them lose it, but don't start with none.
The problem here is that respect has two meanings, and those who demand respect blur the two. Respect can either mean admiration for someone's qualities and achievements, or it can mean due regard, as in respecting someone's personal space. When people say respect must be earned, they mean the former - you must earn anything above the baseline of common decency. When people demand respect, they act like they mean the latter but often strongly imply the former, as the respect they demand often goes far beyond simple due regard for their needs or acknowledgement of their presence, and crosses into surreal demands.
Aye. That's the opposite side of the equation from those who demand respect because they want power over others - those who fail to show basic decency to others because they believe that it needs to be earned.
I agree that baseline is not 0. Lets say it's 4 out of ten for baseline. 1 being go Fuck yourself, 5 being general polite and including some deference and 10 being war hero grandpa who single handedly liberated Nazi camps while turning SS soldiers into devout jews. All by simply speaking in a kind voice that Bob Ross would go on to study and become 10% proficient with.
I think there's a difference between being respectful and having respect for. You earn respect absolutely, however we should all be respectful of others unless we are given reason to do otherwise.
To some people, respect means treating each other fair and kind, in which respect can be reciprocated. To others respect means to acknowledge and obey their authority, regardless of if it exists.
I believe similarly but also believe some respect is earned contextually. (Age, power, position) Additionally, respect does not necessarily mean what a lot of people think. I can respect the "Uniform" but not the person wearing it so to speak.
I generally agree but I consider that to be common courtesy rather than call it respect. I agree that respect should be earned but common courtesy should be assumed.
Idk if I'd call it respect, just have common decency. I don't disrespect strangers but that's because I have nothing to respect or disrespect them for.
Just 5 days ago, I was with my older friend (18) who is living with his friend (also 18). Now I've been in his house a few times and I was there playing UFC with friend 1. (Non)Friend 2 comes back from work and says hi and all that I say hi back. 2 is looking for his lynx can and it's beside me in the couch (I didn't use it seeing as I'm allergic). 2 orders me, orders me to give it to him. Now I just stared at him and he ordered me to give it to him. I looked at Friend 1 and he had his head down looking st the floor. I said to 2, if you want me to hand it to you, treat me with a bit of respect and ask, not order, that I wasn't a dog nor a slave. 2 went on this rant about how I was a disrespectful little fuck and how he'd love to kick the crap out of me and that if he thinks 1 is going to stick up for me he was wrong, (1 couldn't stick up for me because that's his only place to stay and I understood thst) and that just because I was in foster care that he thinks that would stop him for beating me around the place or how I'm only 16. I just laughed and started saying I couldn't speak English in Spanish and he got more aggressive, he kicked my leg and threatened to kill me and I told him to stop with the threats and if he was going to do it, that he should just do it and he screamed at me to give him respect or leave his house (when in reality it's his fathers). 1 said to him to calm down and leave me alone and 2 turns to him and says "you have no place in this and if you think you do, you no longer have a place in this house, as mh friend and as a person who pays me rent, you listen to me" and I just laughed there and left the house.
And I have always been respectful towards him, I've never insulted him or laughed at him, I've been supportive whenever people talked down to him but I guess that's the way he is
So long story short, give respect and you'll get jt, it's earned, not granted
You're talking about courtesy. Courtesy is given, respect is earned.

Unless they are from Florida. I immediately assume they are retarded when I hear that. And they usually find a way to assure me that's a correct assumption.
Always someone like you in the comments. Son, the baseline is too high and y'all say keep the baseline up.
Not everyone needs a huge amount of respect. The baseline is toleration of their presence, any more than that and they should or you should do something that confers a need for more respect in the moment like proper greetings.
Each adult who said that to me growing up was a piece of work and they aren't part of my life today. It's very much a 'I'm older and have more power, so 'eff you' thing.

Because anyone who believes it is a piece of shit. No one should be treated any different because of their age so them saying hey you need to respect me because I'm older than you is not any less bigited than saying "hey you need to respect me because I'm a man and you're only a woman" or "I'm white and you're black".
The biggest lie of my childhood was believing that people behaved like adults when they grew up. I've worked at places as an adult, surrounded by other adults, that felt worse than high school with all the petty bullshit and cliques.
If you start off by treating people older than you with a little deference, you get an opportunity to learn something from their experience.
I always defer to the old guy. Whatever I'm doing, he's probably done before so he gets a little more respect than a 20 year old kid who doesn't have half the experience I do
It's not always accurate. there are old guys who don't know shit and kids who are experts but age is usually a good indicator of experience
IMO by default everyone should be respected. From acknowledging the smallest child talking to you to actually listening to people when they're speaking with you instead of having your face in your phone while having a conversation to holding a door open for someone with their hands full, everyone deserves a modicum of respect.
The issue at hand is that in many situations, when older people use the term respect towards younger people, they really mean obey. There is the idea that age is the deciding factor in who is correct, and that the younger person should defer to the elder and obey when they direct them to act one way or another.
By default I will absolutely listen to and respect the opinions of someone, but if their interest disagrees with my own I will not obey.
This exact thing happened to me when I was 15, except it was just before smartphones became ubiquitous enough to do lots of video and and it was a 51 year old man who was attempting to assault me because I said "holy shit, slow down" after he nearly ran over a 11 year old playing in the street whole going 40mph in a 15mph residential area. I still remember his mouth twitching after he slammed his car into full reverse to yell "the fuck did you just say to me you little punk?"

That's why I don't take anyone seriously when they say I need to be respectful of my elders. In most circumstances I am respectful of my elders, because I know that I've gotten a lot fuckin smarter as I've grown older, but some people are mongaloids. Some people are as dumb, or dumber than this lady. I don't give a fuck what this ladies age is, she's a fucking idiot.
This happened on a pretty regular basis to 14 year old me - I guess it still does. Adults behaving like asshats and yet still expecting special treatment because they happen to be older.
exchanging curses with white trash in the middle of the street is like runnign the 100m in the special olypmics: even if you ""win"" you're still retarded. There was no intelligence to be found in this video

Having been a 10-14 yr old kid who hung out in the middle of the street, I have good reason to question the idea that these kids didn't really do anything and she's just being crazy.
Maybe these kids didn't do shit.... maybe. But they're at the age where they can be real douche bags and you can't really do much but get pissed and swear because beating their assess isn't socially acceptable and there's the fact that the video starts with one of the kids saying "I wish you are a guy", which is to say he wishes it were socially acceptable for him to hit her). And these days the part where you know they deserve to be smacked in the mouth but you can't do it so you're frustrated and can only tell them to fuck off is recorded and you look crazy because at that point, they're being cool. And was the "politeness" actually genuine or we he being a smartass?
I don't know exactly what went down here. But I'm not ready to rule out that they were being complete shit heads and her reaction is really just frustration because she knows they're little shits and can't do anything about it.
Did she handle it well? No, not really. But I'm in no way convinced that these kids aren't shit heads nor that the one kid was being genuine in his politeness.
Well, shy of damaging her car or physically impeding her from driving away, nothing merits that reaction. The only thing I heard her mention was them being in the street and one of the kids flipping her off. They could have been trying to be the shittiest of shitheads, but the moment she parked her car in the middle of the street and got out, not even to mention the reversing towards him, she was acting worse than them.
Yeah, there's no doubt that she didn't handle it well. I'm just not convinced that we should all be jumping onto the side of the kids like so many people seem to be.

It's fascinating how everyone thinks this is hilarious but a lady pissed (and going overboard, but regardless) that some kids were doing some dumb shit (one of his friends was saying something like "i wish you were a dude" so he could fight her, like cmon) is completely unacceptable.

This was my go to as a kid.
We would be at a party and some asshole would try and pick a fight with someone else just to show how tough he was. Well when you unknowingly have a giant loogie dripping down your back, you can't look too tough anymore.

Nope. Never. They didn't even know about it until either they got home or someone told them they had spit on their back.
And I didn't do it to anyone who didn't deserve it. There were plenty of people in my small town who would literally go out just to start a fight with people. They were royal douche bags and pretty much nobody outside their trashy click liked them either.
For example, one guy kept groping my friends' girlfriend (now wife, 15 years later) against her will and telling him to "do something about it". This guy is super nice and was trying to quell the situation maturely. However the idiot started some shit talking and shoving, and the fight was broken up before too much happened. He kept going around talking shit the whole night, so I hocked a big loogie on his back without him knowing. People were laughing at him behind his back and he never knew who did it. Later on in the night he picked a fight with one guy that he didn't know was a junior boxing champ. He went to the hospital. I think what I did wasn't so bad in comparison.
I wasn't a fighter but nothing pisses me off more than innocent people getting picked on. So I got my revenge in more indirect ways. If you are a dick, then expect people to be a dick back.
I still don't think you should spit on people, regardless.

So you should grope someone's girlfriend in order to just start a fight? Where is the moral line here? You are ok with bullies beating up the scrawny or handicapped kids, but when that kid spits on the guy's back in retaliation, you think they are in the wrong?
Sorry if I played dirty, but no one got hurt and the person who got it completely deserved worse.
You are ok with bullies beating up the scrawny or handicapped kids...
No, I'm against that too.
Still, don't spit on people. Step up and defend yourself and others, or don't...but don't try to paint yourself a hero for spitting on "the bad guy".

Never said I was a hero. I was also like 14. I wasn't doing it for justice, I was doing something dickish to someone doing something even more dickish. If you are going to be a complete dickhead to people then you deserve it. There is no respect in fighting either, especially when it was exactly what the fucktard wanted since he was an inbred hillbilly.
honestly that's mild, when i was younger my buddies and i would have taken her car the moment she stepped out of it and walked away. just grab it, drive it down the street to fuck with her.
Thanks. I do see him spitting. And I still say good that he did it.
The first time I clicked on the link, I didn't see it right away, but I did see a video over 4 minutes long. So I guess I deserved down vote for that. Reddit is a weird place.
I think what a lot of people don't get is just because time has passed, this does not mean you have learned any lessons or become more mature. So if say this woman experienced trauma at an age younger than 14, and then never resolved it, she could literally be younger than OP.

You're getting downvoted because she literally can not be younger than OP. Nor can she be a 10 year old. Age is how long you've been alive...not a mental state or whatever you're trying to make it.
Heh. When I was that age, I learned that the best way to annoy an already angry adult was to be really polite, cause then they feel stupid for being so angry and get even more pissed at themselves. Funny how that works.
Unless you're in school and they take your phone away, then claim you were yelling at them and giving them attitude when you were just being polite and even finishing your sentences with sir or ma'am.

It's a funny thing in schools, the power distribution. Inside the school the teachers have absolute authority and power. Outside, even the least influential parent can make their life a living hell.
I want to become a teacher to try and reform it from the inside out. I think you should have to prove that you actually care about the student's and their futures to become a staff member at a school. Most of my teachers were just using it for power over someone else because they had so little control over their own lives.

I agree it was a bit early for his comment, but let's not pretend like this website isn't prone to sitting around and patting each other on the back for all having the same opinion about something.
Nobody's opinion is 'wrong' per se, so long as it's an actual opinion and not factually incorrect. If, in their experience, teachers have been power tripping assholes, who has the right to tell that person not to express it? I don't have that same opinion, but some of my teachers were definitely power tripping assholes even though most of them were good. I can totally see how they'd come to that conclusion.
it's not a gross generalization, it's an observable reality. any bureaucratic institution is going to attract people who enjoy exercising power over others. while some of these people might be decent and good, some of them are certainly very broken, very insecure individuals. you can say this of basically any bureaucracy, but public schooling is the only one that is both compulsory and not punitive, at least in america. we can hold it to a different standard and criticize it for its failures in a different way.
I really wish you had a better experience in high school.
You'll find all of the above people in all work that you do in your life. Some enjoy exercising power over others, some prefer to follow. Some are good and decent, some are broken and angry.
Even if you had a good experience in high school yourself, that doesn't mean this doesn't happen to other people.
Public schools tend to be crowded and staffed by overwhelmed teachers and other employees that tend to become jaded towards their students. It's not a bright, shining reality but it's life.
You'll find all of the above people in all work that you do in your life.
and in every other instance, i'm either A able to walk away freely, or B held under threat of force. it's only in schools that freedom of choice is removed (e: without directly punitive measures). that might be for a good reason, but when you encounter incompetent, insecure, or otherwise unfit leadership, there is absolutely nothing you can do to get away.
arguing that everyone does something doesn't mean your one pet profession gets a free pass.
But no, it is an opinion though. It's a subjective thought that was agreed upon by multiple people, but not you, that's why it's subjective. Secondly, you shouldn't feel offended (if that is what I'm picking up from your comments) because we're not talking about you or teachers you know. We'd only be talking about that group of people if it contained power freaks and lying, scummy teachers that tried to take advantage of their superiority over the students they teach...
As a former teacher who understands that side of it, I am bothered by attitudes that perpetuate the negativity surrounding the profession.
Teachers are underpaid, overworked, overwhelmed, and make massive sacrifices in their daily life to do their job through the school year. This is a tradgedy that fortunately a lot of people are aware of it and can attest to it, and are committed to changing it. There are others who clearly lack the perspective of what that work is really like, which is bothersome. It bothers me more than most due to my work experiences.
A professor in my credential program summarized and predicted this well; "One problem we have is everyone thinks they understand the education system because everyone went through the education system."
Sorry if this seems restrictive to the conversation, but attitudes like this guy's are literally the perpetrators of why that profession is in the shitter.
Trust me, I know you guys work hard and are underpaid for it all, my friends mothers will agree with that wholeheartedly. However, I, at least, appreciate and love the teachers that, despite this situation, love their job and are passionate for the kids in a positive way. Most teachers are so quick to blame their lives and use that to give them a purpose to become assholes to their students, however how do you think a student would feel? I'm no teacher, hey, I'm still in high school, but I've had a fair share of amazing teachers who were constantly beat down by life and kept that in their personal life, not professional, and I've had a fair share of the worst teachers I'll ever have. The latter group let their lives mix and took it out on the people who deserved it least of all, and I have no room in my heart for teachers like that. I apologize greatly for all of your collective issues with the profession, but I only ask from a student that you all continue loving your jobs and being amazing, or quit; the youth will not learn from people they can't respect...
Teachers are underpaid, overworked, overwhelmed, and make massive sacrifices in their daily life to do their job through the school year.
buying some sympathy are we? teachers choose to teach. students choose what they want for lunch. the hoops you have to jump through to remove yourself from the influence of a poor teacher are incredible, and taken to their absolute extreme can destroy a kid's entire social sphere by basically removing him from his circle of friends.
the fact remains, the public school system is a bureaucracy, and like any bureaucracy shit rolls downhill and Pournelle's law applies. i think the least we're allowed is a degree of polite disdain.
I wonder how all of the homeless, abused and neglected kids would feel if you told them that the place they go to to be cared about, fed, and counseled was actually an oppressive system.
i weep for the sixty trillion starving children on the streets, and the poor innocent teachers i have so maligned.
let me repeat: doing good does not invalidate the bad. you want to get your institution out of the shitter? reject the insecure, the smug, the perverted, the decrepit, and the useless among you, and make an effort to remember yours is a subordinate, substitutional authority. in loco parentis delenda est.
You have a negatively skewed perspective on who exactly ends up being teacher, and once again, I wish you had a better experience in high school. Your experience is not indicative of the whole, I have experienced many negative teachers myself. However, they are far, far outnumbered by the skillful, caring and tactful people that decide to take that path regardless of the negatives.
Take it from someone who has worked in 4 school districts in a metro area. Your experience is not indicative of the whole, and your sample teachers were clearly unfortunate.
You have a negatively skewed perspective on who exactly ends up being teacher, and once again, I wish you had a better experience in high school.
and once again, this is not an argument.
Your experience is not indicative of the whole
once again, very true. i'm talking about an observable trend.
However, they are far, far outnumbered by the skillful, caring and tactful people that decide to take that path regardless of the negatives.
this is your effort at answering the trend i suppose. who's to say, of course, that this is not your own subjective reading of the relevant concern? it's not like you wouldn't be biased, being, yknow, a former teacher and by extension urban saint. you know people are dissatisfied, and you know the reasons why. answer those rather than telling us, once again, just how great your colleagues are. sweet mrs. applebaum could be the nicest lady in the world, but from the authority she's granted and the pressure she's put under, she could take just five minutes to destroy the self esteem of an insecure teenager and think she's helping them the whole while. the amount of power granted to teachers is too great for any person to hold.
I don't mean to butt into other people's internet arguments, but are you ok? Did something really bad happen to you? Nobody is ever this angry at teachers unless they've had a truly terrible experience. If you have, you might consider talking to someone. It's not good to harbor so much disdain and hatred in you. Especially for a group of people that are just trying to do their best at their job. Sure, HS teaching jobs tend to attract a ton of sycophants, but surely not every teacher out there is a power hungry twat. You're right that any semblance of authority tends to make people into abusive dicks, but those people were like that in the first place. My point is, don't let anger blind you. If your school is full of bullies who happen to be teachers, try and find the good ones. They might help you do something about it higher up in the administration. Or if not, maybe find someone to talk to. Don't let this ugliness fester.
i've been out of school for years dude, i'm good with what went down. all i know is i didn't want any help, they tried to give it to me, and they fucked up giving me the thing i didn't want in the first place. a bad education is worse than no education.
not that what happened to me matters at all in this argument.
It's almost like you're not allowed to criticize yet still see other positive aspects. You can only have OP'S opinion or you are incorrect. Doesn't sound totalitarian like at all..../s
It's possible to criticize something but recognize the positive. As a teacher, your behavior scares me and is very cringey. You're helping prove OP'S point.
yes. I've never seen people in a voluntary profession consistently bitch about things a whole lot of other jobs also need to put up with. Many other jobs need to take their work home with them. Many other jobs need to work long hours. Many other jobs do this all year round for less money than the starting 48k/9 months salary that teachers start at.
Climb down off the cross for a second and maybe people would be more willing to relate.
if the profession as a whole doesn't make an effort to reform itself and remove its bad elements, then the profession as a whole deserves and requires criticism of the highest order.
and yeah, i'm gonna say you've been very power hungry.
Sorry we insulted your wife. I'd love to hear your opinion of how it's the hardest job that's ever existed and that she should be paid a trillion dollars a year for working slightly increased hours 9 months a year.
You had to turn them in at the front office every morning. If you were caught with your phone, they'd give you ISS for a month. ISS was suspension where you were still on the school grounds, but you got a hardass teacher who would find any reason to give you detention, you were stuck in one room all day until lunch, but you didn't get to go to lunch until every grade from K-12 were done, so you had no outside contact unless you met someone on the way to the classroom in the morning.
I'm already in the office for "sassing" my math teacher (pointing out he did PEMDAS wrong in a problem), I'm not gonna pull my phone out in the vice-principal's office and give them more ammo.
I got ISS once in 7th grade. Worst two days of my life. From that point on I would always tell the vice principal I'd rather have OSS. He would yell and then call my mom and shit. Thing was I knew being at home meant I could play video games all days and not be stuck in one classroom w/out the ability to talk.
There is a fundamental difference between punishing and torturing kids. Social isolation w/out the ability to move around and no mental stimulation is nothing more than torture.
That sounds like the level of bullshit you should get your parents involved in. I mean obviously you know your parents better than me, but I think most parents would go on the fucking warpath about that. Pointing out a teacher's error shows that you're paying attention and learning the material, and I would DESTROY a school that tries to punish my kid for that.
My mother's been a single mom for most of my life (even the times she remarried she was still basically the only adult in the house because she kept picking poorly), and I didn't want to stress her out over it. She has heart problems induced from stress as well as still having a bit of an anger issue, so I didn't want mom having a heart attack over something as stupid as a teacher abusing their power.

That's one insecure teacher. I have lots of sharp students and I teach several advanced high school courses, and there's going to be a time or two each school year that I overlook something. I thank them.
If they're wrong, however...incoming whiteboard eraser, kid! (j/k)
My school wasn't exactly like this, didn't have to turn our phones in but if you had it out you'd have them taken from you and you'd get detention, if you refused you'd be sent to Internal exclusion which is exactly what was described above.
We used to have cubicles that faced the walls, so even if you decided to be funny fuckers and you entire group got Internal Exclusion (our ISS) then you were still isolated. You'd chat shit to eachother through the walls and get IE increased for another day. In the end you just learn to not get sent to IE.
But yeah, even lunch was the same for us, we did have a morning break but you didn't get to have break with everyone else and nobody saw you. I got IE for a month once, hit a girl, one of my mates thought I'd got massacred by her older brother or something because nobody heard from me for the entire time rofl.
I ask for the phone if I so much as see them take it from their pocket to glance at it. They can pick it up at the Office after school and pay the fine! :-D
Of course, I stress this hard-and-fast rule on the first day of school each year.

I disagree with taking a kid's phone. I think it escalates the situation and makes the kid feel powerless. It is their property after all. By no means should they be allowed to use it during class, but I think a better course is to remove the kid from class for the day and maybe assign extra homework. They learn their lesson, while still being shown a bit of respect.
Oh, I used to moderate phone usage and have them put them away during lectures, stuff like that. It does not serve our productivity well. I changed that two years ago. It's been fabulous since.
I don't give a shit if they feel "powerless". If they can't manage to not have it out, I can see that I get those results in another way.
Removing them from class is too extreme and will cause them to fall behind (and make me do extra work). And, homework should never be added as punishment, nor reduced as a reward.

I dunno, I just think forcing them to give the phone to you exacerbates the problem and might fuel the underlying cause. Just seems like a "I have the power in this situation and there's nothing you can do about it" type of response. An exercise in dominion.
An exercise in a teacher running his classroom as he sees fit!
It never exacerbates the situation when I collect a phone. Only once in the last two years did a student talk back about it, and his parents got a swift phone call within the hour. I was assured that there wouldn't be a problem with his phone again. There wasn't.
There is going to be zero phone use in my classroom.

I can see the last bit happening, and I understand, but teachers feel threatened when they are corrected, because it diminished their intellectual authority. I assume it wouldn't have happened if you talked to him after class.
I've had a few bumps like that, but no detention. I corrected my science teacher, by telling her that the skin was the largest organ, and that it takes 8 and half minutes for light to reach the sun, instead of the millions of years she said. Sometimes, the teachers have bad information in their books.
Skin, certain bones, brain, intestines, the uterus sometimes, off the top of my head i think these organs are all bigger than a liver. O, lungs too

Teachers that feel threatened by being corrected are bad teachers. Period. It is ok to be wrong and that should be taught to kids because everyone is wrong sometimes. Everyone makes mistakes. Now if the kid did it in a sassy way then, yes, the kid is in the wrong, but ISS is still completely unnecessary. The teacher could have simply acknowledged their mistake, corrected the kid's tone if an inappropriate tone was used, and everyone moves on having learned something.

They will call the police and have you violently removed. Complete waste of resources, and orders of magnitude more disruptive to the classroom, but still a daily ocurrance
This was before smartphones, mind you, but a teacher once tried to take my phone in study hall. I was in the middle of a pretty big family thing and had to be ready to leave at pretty much any moment, so I would discreetly check my phone every ten minutes or so and call between classes. So my teacher sees me pull out the phone, check it, put it away, and go back to what I was doing. He told me to bring it to the front of the class and give it to him. I walked up and told him what was going on and why I couldn't do that. He cut me off twice and told me he didn't care and to just give it to him or he'd call for one of the officers. I told him to kiss my ass and walked out of class towards the office because I could see where this was heading. He followed me out and was screaming at me like a lunatic telling me how poorly I was raised ect... At the end of it all I just called my mom and had her pick me up and nothing much really came of it. The teacher and I had a little ten minute session with a mediator the next week and I basically told him I had zero respect for him as an educator and as a man, but I wouldn't let it show in class (only a week or so left in the semester). I did wind up feeling a little bad because he went to the same church as my girlfriend and her family and her dad let him fucking have it one day for being so rude. Evidently it made church really awkward for him for a while, which kinda sucks.
Yeah its one thing when playing on the phone is being a distraction and work isn't getting done, but some teachers really like their zero tolerance. No situation could ever possibly warrant letting the rules slide.

I'm a teacher in training. How would this have worked for you. "Unfortunately I can't let you have your phone with you. But you can leave it here for the rest of the class, and come up to check it as you feel necessary.
How is that less disruptive than the kid just keeping it in his pocket and checking it like he was before? You'd rather he march up to the front of the class every ten minutes?

Because depending on the administration I have to act. And depending on how the school handles it's study hall it would not be too distracting to begin with and it sets precedent for students and teachers working together to compromise. If other students realize that he was rewarded for going through things the right way they are more likely to do so as well. And lastly, when you and a student have developed a working relationship often times they will only take the inch even if you did offer a mile.

That's really good! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
But I think you're over-exaggerating the effect that someone checking their phone has on people. in that - it doesn't. it doesn't effect anyone at all. And as u/yourehilarious Said, continuously walking up to the desk would have a much more distracting/damaging effect on everyone else's attention.
Just My opinion of course

Something I would want to actively avoid is "why can X do it and not me, see it's not hurting anybody" whereas the other way it's clear an arrangement has been made. Ultimately, if the kid came up to me before class I would let him check his phone. However, depending on the administration that might be unacceptable.
That'd have likely been fine, and it's a perfectly reasonable way to handle it, but as a hotheaded 16 year old I can't guarantee I would have reacted appropriately. I was kind of a little snot back then.

That and they treat you like prisoners and little kids up until your last day. Then expect you to do a 180 and become adults right out of high school.
Sorry, you stunted that with your power play bull shit for 13 years. How about you treat people the way you want them to behave.
The same thing happened to me in grade school. I was in grade 6 or 7 and I was mad at someone so I drew a very childish picture that basically said that person would go to jail. So he doesn't care about the picture but thinks it would be funny for me to get in trouble (he told me this later) and tells the teacher. The teacher sends me to the special needs teacher (I'm not a special needs person) because this teacher was also a counselor when needed and held a few other jobs because the school was understaffed. So I am as polite as possible because I don't want to cause any more trouble but this teacher starts accusing me of yelling at her and throwing stuff at her (I didn't do either). I wish I could have recorded this but my phone was in the school office. So anyways, after school ends I am picked up (I lived outside of the bus area) and I tell my mom that the school may contact her and everything they say I did to this person is most likely a lie. I also tell her everything this woman said to me. In the end, the teacher (she wasn't really a teacher but I'll call her that for simplicity) wasn't allowed to talk to me without my mom being present.
Never had the phone out during class. They made you turn them in at the front office at the beginning of the day, and if you didn't you get a month of ISS (In School Suspension).
Yep, ya caught me. I was always doing something absolutely evil and deplorable every time I got sent to the office, and the poor, powerless teachers just couldn't defend themselves from my verbal onslaught in any way.
/s
But yeah, I've met people who would break the rules and then complain about getting punished, but some of the teachers at my school were absolutely awful. The vice-principal had to be the worst, though. If you didn't say "good morning" to him whenever he saw you in the hallways, he'd give you a day of detention. You learned to keep an eye out for him so you'd be ready to say it.
I had a really pessimistic reply about this all ready to go, and was gonna talk about how maybe the kid should've just walked away and disengaged
But fuck that you're right. He was very polite, the situation was dealt with, she drove away, THEN came back. That lady is crazy and that kid should get a medal for dealing with her.

My life as a cyclist has taught me "Just cuz I have the right doesn't mean I get the right" to do anything. Better to walk away and live to fight another day. You think she's crazy enough to fight a few 14 yr olds but not crazy enough to be carrying? I'm not taking that chance.
In a perfect world, both should have deescalated after the initial disagreement. Even 15 year olds can be taught this.
But in this situation, it seems like the kid was more mature and closer to being able to disengage. I think that's why people are focusing on what he should have done.
But he stayed out in the street provoking her. Immature actions, despite his more mature words.
Because you can't reason with crazy. The kid didn't do anything wrong and has every right to stand his ground, but the smartest way to deal with that level of insanity is to just walk away. Especially after she tried to reverse in to him.
And then throw them into her car, b/c I was letting her play the role of Trayvon ;-).

Only thing I can think is she could have seriously injured the kid or killed him, I'm not victim blaming but you can see where he could have avoided this hypothetical by not engaging the stranger.
Stranger danger is pretty much bullshit. Don't take food from strangers, don't go anywhere with strangers, scream bloody murder if someone grabs you.. But otherwise be polite and friendly.
It's the family members you have to watch out for, statistically speaking. Teach kids it's actually the strangers who are more dangerous, and they're less likely to turn outside the family for aid if they need it. You want a kid to be comfortable approaching someone for assistance or help.
Kid should get someone to contact police and have her arrested with aggravated assault on a minor with a deadly weapon. Video proves it crystal clear. No regard for their safety and no logical reason for her to be backing up that way on a residential street, nonetheless doing that on a street where kids are playing. I hope the worst for this lady. Shitty people like her don't deserve to reproduce. Yet she probably has 7 kids just like her.
From context clues, she was just mad that they were hanging out and playing in the road. If they had done something like run out in front of her car or menace her, she would have mentioned that. But all she said was that they're always in the road, and she doesn't have to yield to them.
The video starts with one of the kids saying that he wishes she we a guy. Presumably to say "I wish you were a guy so it would be socially acceptable to hit you".
That's "being menacing" by any definition I can think of.
Now, that's not to say they were being menacing prior to that moment. But there's good reason to believe it's possible that they were.
I wouldn't say that exactly. I would say that she is clearly wrong (and I believe she is wrong in how she's behaving). But saying that she's "one in the wrong" is implying that the kids are in no way wrong. And we really don't know that. In fact, while the kid with the phone is seemingly being polite, you can hear the kids in the background pretty much being shitheads.
it's correct that she's getting away with this shit because she's a woman.
Are you saying that if she were a guy it would be different? In what way? Do you really think the kids would actually try to fight a grown man?
Problem with crazy people is that youll never know whats going through their head while they're angry. One split second decision to grab a gun and this situation could have turned really bad really quickly. Kid handled her extremely well, dont get me wrong; but trying to talk and reason with a lunatic is like trying to talk a grizzly bear into not attacking you. Thats why I don't mess with crazy.
This woman needs help. And some anger management classes.
The kid knew he was in the right by being a kid. That shit is strong. Any adult treating a kid like that is fucked up and he knew it. Good on him. It's like looking back at all the injustices you got hit with as a kid and wishing you had your current adult mind to have done something about it. This kid was smarter than her and she couldn't do anything about it. I really enjoyed watching him make her seem dumber and dumber the longer she argued with a kid.
I'm not defending that idiotic lady, but what bothers me is we only got what happened on the last bit of what started the whole mess. Again not defending her at all...
TBF the part we see doesn't paint the adult in the greatest light. It would have to be some pretty serious shit to justify trying (or pretending to trying) to back up over a Teen just because he pissed you off.
She probably should be arrested. A little over halfway in the video she gets back in her car, drives a distance, then violently reverses towards the kids, even turning her car to make sure she didn't miss.
I don't know about assault, maybe ATTEMPTED something but not assault.
However I'll bet if it is assault it could be pushed for assault with a deadly weapon, that could've killed those kids, who I will again say, were innocent as far as we can see
I wanna agree with you, but I feel like that's kind of a stretch. Anyone and their mother could threaten you. Do they have the means to carry out that threat? No? Well...
That's doesn't mean I'm defending someone who threatens another person because that shit ain't cool, I'm in no way behind that. But you have to take multiple factors into account.
In this case the lady was fucking nuts, and her threats and actions should actually be counted as assault, if what an earlier poster said, holds true
I'm not talking about verbal threats, I'm talking about actually implying it through your actions, E.G when she deliberately turned into the kid as to not miss him. Whether or not she truly would have done it, it's assault.

Lawyer here. His knowledge of his and her rights at that age was spot on. Amazing.

Absolutely. She totally wanted to hit the kid. Could have been charged with assaulting the minor. That kid was very smart.
How is a sarcastic lilt to "Have a nice day" enough to justify any sort of violently angry response from a grown-ass adult? Bullshit, he could be as sarcastic as he wanted in that and it doesn't justify her behavior.
Yeah.... Don't see why everyone is trying to say how "polite" the kid was being. He was being a smug little shit. But at the end of the day, a grown ass adult shouldn't be getting out of their car to argue with a smug teenager. Just dumb all around.
Although your right, but if anyone should've walked away it should've been the adult. I realized I have anger issues watching this video bc I had to put it in check a few times. Even though I would never hit a woman, I sure wanted to in this situation.

Yeah the driving away and coming back was where I drew the line, if I was that kids parent and saw someone do that to my baby, I would've beat the hell out of that car.
Now that's not the RIGHT answer but that's what I would've done.
was gonna talk about how maybe the kid should've just walked away and disengaged
If he were an adult, I think he should have walked away and Disengaged. I think his course of action was not the best, but was very good for a 14-year-old. He was certainly more mature than that woman.
ABSOLUTELY. Cops are there to help man. They could've helped de escalate the situation, and if that didn't work they could've taken her in. Or if they de escalated, and then she started shit later, there's a record of her losing her shit
Mainly what I'm thinking is: this woman is clearly unstable and already committing crimes, she's a danger to these kids and needs to be confronted about it
I think the kid obv wasnt in the wrong, but in life you dont want to be right you want to be smart. It whould have been much smarter for him to just shut up and let her leave. You can never know how crazy the person you are talking with is, and what she can he hiding in the glove compartment. Just my opinion.

What's frustrating is how society expects the victim to handle the abuser.
But the person you're replying to is saying that "being polite" was mostly just a way of purposefully pissing them off further (i.e., a way of being a dick).
Well if that's the case then perception is reality. That kid could've very well been being polite and saying sorry for what happened and 100% meant it, but that's not how it was perceived. Politeness should never been taken as being rude, only being polite. I do understand what you're saying though, and that may very well have been the case.
That's so true, they think you're being sarcastic or patronizing when you do. People want youth to show respect and when they do, people take it as disrespect. It's lose lose for them most of the time.
It's funny because it would probably still work on you even know you clearly understand it.

That's what I learned working in service. Kill them with kindness. Actually when I worked at a hotel we had a giant mirror behind the front desk, so people would see themselves yelling at the clerk and see how ridiculous they looked. It worked most of the time
i did the same when some crazy bitch (early 20s) went apeshit at me in the mcdonalds drive thru. she walked out of her parked car to me when I was ordering complaining about how i didn't give way at a round about. i apologised like 5 times and she just flailed her arms in the air, swore at me continuously and didn't have a logical argument. after a while her sentences sounded like jibberish. man, hope she has a nice day though.
That's not the reason it drives them nuts. It drives them nuts because they KNOW the insincerity of your politeness. Great weapon for dickhead adults for sure, though I recommend starting with sincere politeness first to give the situation a chance to de-escalate.
Yup. Had my fair share of encounters like this when I was a teenager. Sure it was fun to give them some serious backchat, however being polite while still holding your ground really made some veins pop
Best reply he could have had to "you think you're going to ruin my life" would have been "lady, I think we both know you've already ruined your own life."
It's the Tyler Durden way of responding. That guy is beating Tyler in the basement and he's just laughing and asking for more. It's basically like "You're giving it your best shot and I'm not even fazed".
Works being an employee providing a service, too. Yell at a cashier for a wrong price and they argue back? You got a situation. Yell at a cashier who apologizes, fixes it, and tells you to have a wonderful day while you're still fuming? Congrats, you're the asshole customer people will talk about all week now.
I work at a retail pharmacy, and when I have customers who are angry without reason like this woman is, I do exactly what you said. I put a smile on and say "ma'am/sir, I hope you have an absolutely wonderful day." Pisses them off to the nth degree. But what are they gonna do? Go ahead tell corporate I told you to have a wonderful day.

Oh god I loved that being in the military. In boot camp they drill the whole stand at attention and say yes sir no sir, yes chief no chief etc. But when you get into the fleet that pretty much goes away for most people so if someone wanted to get pissy with me I'd pop to attention with the 1000 yard stare like I'm looking through them and start sandwiching replies and leaving off extra stuff like what we'd normally add in conversation. Start referring to yourself as one or this sailor.
Works as an adult too. In my work, if someone starts swearing at me because they don't like my answer, I usually return with "I'm sorry sir/ma'am, but there is no need for that type of language."
Careful, though. The "kill them with kindness" method once almost got me attacked by a raving meth-head. I merely wished him a Happy New Year and he called me a cunt and almost rushed back in the store (the door had an auto-lock...okay, I may have intentionally timed my "Happy New Year" just right...it was kind of worth it.)
I just walked away? I grew up in Florida, so there are a lot of self righteous wingnut women out there who will literally start this shit up. I'd give them about a minute, and if they kept being crazy I walked towards a friends house, or a neighbors house that knew me. (we're talking 80s-90s here..when everyone knew the neighborhood kids, and didn't worry about being diddled)
This is why I'm not entirely on the kids side here. I think he knew he was winding her up by being polite, I think there was a hint of mockery in his politeness and a sense of superiority. Woman obviously reacted very badly.
That's the best way to piss people off in general. The very first time I did it it felt so good. Some teenage girl hit my car in a parking lot while I was working at this yogurt stand (she didn't put the parking break on and it rolled downhill into mine) and got ordered to pay a couple hundred by the insurance.
She came back a few days later, saw I hadn't fixed the dent yet (and wasn't legally required to either, I was encouraged to pocket the money) and came into the store cursing me out and yelling.
I remained sickly sweet and tried to sell her yogurt. I got to yell "Y'all have a great day!" In my best sweet-southern-belle accent as she stormed out with her friend. It was glorious.

When I worked on a beach (long story) sometimes my younger employees would have run ins with assholes and I'd have to get involved. They loved to wish people a nice day as they were being kicked off the beach to make them lose their shit. The absolute best was when one did it as the cops were approaching so they walked up to find a grown lady having a tantrum at a 15 year old kid.
This just reminded me of how much of a little shit I was. When I was like 10 playing in a baseball game one of the other coaches started swearing when his son struck out. In my most annoyingly innocent voice I called out "watch your language coach" and he exploded screaming at me while the umps (who were like 16) had to try to diffuse the situation, he ended up being recalled as a judge since he did this in front of half the local parents.
That's assuming that they have the common sense required to feel shitty about yelling at a teenager.

This would always piss off my dad so much. He'd get angry very easily and if I just continued to talk calmly and rationally to him he'd get angrier and angrier and inevitably accuse me of trying to start an argument.
Customer service 101: You can tell any customer to fuck off right to their face, you just need to word it differently and act super polite so they have nothing to report you with.
I fucking love being the bigger person. It's both the morally right thing to do, and I secretly get a rush out of making the other person look like a total jackass in comparison to me.
After working in a library for 9 years, I can tell you that people who are angry and belligerent really REALLY hate it when you are calm and polite and tell them to have a nice day.
How many angry and belligerent people do you have in your library?! I would've thought that would be a job where you're mostly dealing with mild mannered people. That's the case for my small town's library at least.
I would say on average 1-2 angry people a week. They're usually mad because they owe fines and they will want us to forgive them for one reason or another and we won't because they rightfully owe fines. Or they are mad that they've lost a book and we won't forgive the fines for them. Or they come in claiming they returned something but it's nowhere on the shelf. Various things. I've had people throw things at me, yell at me, call me names. It's just like working a retail job. It's probably worse though because residents pay a tax to the library and they like to hold that over our heads whenever they don't get their way. One time I told some lady who was pissed off to have a nice day as she was leaving and told me not to patronize her...lol! It's a very eventual job.
It's because he probably has to. He seems like a smart kid but admits he's not a tough one. I grew up in a tough guy town like appears to be the case for this kid. Learning to use your intelligence as a defensive weapon is one of the best survival mechanisms possible. I wasn't beating anyone's ass, and I wasn't a tough guy, but I never got my ass beat either. Came close lots of times, but for whatever reason when people like this realize they are out smarted they tend to back down. Not always of course, but when they realize you're not going to respond in the same "tough guy" way they are behaving (this lady was clearly looking for a physical altercation), they get worried and don't know how to react.
If he said that apology sincerely I'd agree completely. But you can't honestly think he was being mature in this situation. He was instigating the whole time. She was completely wrong for feeding it, but he was not in the right here.

I think it's safe to assume that kid's not going to be a douche by the time he's that lady's age.
Until he has to deal with thousands of other douchebags just like her throughout his life. That shit is contagious; it's why good people who you would never expect to do it end up snapping one day and losing their minds. There are so many adults who have the maturity of a 5 year old that it's enough to hope for an asteroid to hit the earth.

When you see someone with damage to their car like that it means two things: 1, They were at fault for the damage in the eyes of their insurance company. 2, they have the bare minimum coverage and thus were denied coverage by their insurer to have it repaired.
Be aware, if someone like this causes an accident and damages your car, they probably don't have the coverage to fix your car either if it's a major accident, you'll be stuck having your insurance pay. I always keep a distance when I see cars like this white trash bitch's on the road.
Some states, obviously not Florida, require a yearly safety inspection. A missing fender would be an automatic fail as a person can get cut up pretty bad if they brushed up against that sharp sheet metal.
This is why I pay extra for Uninsured Motorist coverage.

That's a shitty definition of assault. Should be some form of intimidation.
I know what you're actually trying to say, but that shit does not happen as often per capita as it does in the US. In addition to that, there's excessive nepotism involved as well, hence why it's such a shit show.
Yeah I'm not sure what Canada is doing that makes them so much better than the US, but whatever it is they should share it, it's in their nature to be kind.
Do that to anyone with a gun and if they're scared enough you'll probably get shot. Police are trained for situations like this and should be held to a higher standard but they're still people.

Thatโs what was pissing her off. At no point did she get the satisfaction she was seeking. She lost her cool and would have probably moved on if he did too, but he kept killing her with kindness and she kept trying to break him. Notice the other kids were cursing at her and one of them spit on her car... she didnโt spend more than a second on them. She wanted to assert her dominance and authority by being the โadultโ and getting the one holdout to crack. Good job, kid, good job.
Not to mention the portion where the boy mentioned that she's threatening him and she was trying to assert her newfound "dominance" by proudly proclaiming that he feels threatened. Childish baiting, really

If she hits him it is battery.
But, also assault because the "fear" before being hit (hence the common phrase "assault & battery".
Per google search, assault is: "an act, criminal or tortious, that threatens physical harm to a person, whether or not actual harm is done".
So, even when she is walking at him and he keeps saying "get away", "don't keep walking toward me", "I feel threatened", etc. he's setting the video up for clear assault evidence. Which, she arguably did commit because of the car, she kept walking (albeit just a few steps) at him several times after being asked to stop, and maybe even her threatening to break his phone/other threats of violence.
This kid knows his stuff.

Seems like assault to me. Doing something like moving a one-ton heap of steel towards a child in order to scare him definitely seems like it'd be illegal to me. It's not really substantially different from, say, shooting at someone but deliberately missing.
True, but anywhere I am sure a judge would gladly tell her she was not in the correct emotional state to be backing up towards a kid to avoid walking 5-10 feet. As angry as she was mistakes are too easy to make.
Actually, I'm pretty sure just approaching him aggressively could be grounds for assault. So even without the car when she gets out and approaches him.

People drive cars around public spaces all the time. People don't go around shooting aimlessly.
Legally they may both be considered assault with a deadly weapon, I'm just saying they're not exactly the same thing.
Tell someone that a person tried to run you over, then imagine telling them someone shot at you. You think the response is the same?
Well alright agree to disagree. My personal preference is having a car come at me over having lead flying my way, but to each their own.

The gun is probably more deadly, but cars really are pretty deadly too. Guns hurt you in one place, whereas cars are blunt force all over your body. It all depends on where you are shot, and how fast you are hit by a car.
I don't think the kid would have died if he got hit by the woman there, but I do think he'd be in a world of pain.
sje46 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 16:11:50 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Not exactly the same thing, because they would both involve different charges--pretty sure the gun one would involve a charge like unlawful discharge of weapon in public place, and the car would be reckless driving. Each state is different so I really can't say. My point is both would be also assault with a deadly weapon.
The gun charge would almost certainly get you more jail time/punishment.
Having watched the video the woman definitely drove her car at him as well as walked aggressively towards him while punching her first, so there's the intended act. The kid said out loud that "he felt threatened" that she was going to hit him in the moment, and I think his feelings were reasonable. So that takes care of the reasonableness and imminence. And hitting someone with either your hands or is harmful.
All the elements check out. She assaulted him.
Regardless of her intent to either him or scare him, I honestly thought she was going to hit him in some way if given the chance while watching the video. And even if her intention was to rip his phone out of his hands, I think that could fall under being offensive. I would be offended if someone ripped my phone out of my hands.
I think it's important to note that the exact nature can vary from state to state. For example, in my state there are no battery charges, what others would call battery we call assault, and what others call assault is something else.
Also when she was punching her hand while walking towards him - that was absolutely a threat of violence, whether she intended to follow through on it or not. That definitely would land under assault.
Depending on the specific definitions in their state that would be assault. Assault is intentionally making the other person fear that you are going to batter them. You aren't allowed to go around scaring people into thinking you are going to hit them with your car. People confuse assault and battery way too often. Assault is the threat or attempted battery. Battery is the actual harmful or offensive touching.
(1) An โassaultโ is an intentional, unlawful threat by word or act to do violence to the person of another, coupled with an apparent ability to do so, and doing some act which creates a well-founded fear in such other person that such violence is imminent.
IANAL but it looks pretty obvious that what this woman was doing both in her car and out of it falls comfortably under that definition.
Thanks for doing the 10 seconds of research I was too lazy to do. Looks like in this case, as is common with assault, it will hinge on the fear of the alleged victim.
Generally not the victim so much as a reasonable person in the position of the victim, under the victims circumstances (e.g. a reasonable 14 year old of the same height)
I don't think that's correct. In this case the victim has to actually be afraid because the crime involves the creation of fear. If a reasonable person would have been, but the victim was not, then it can't be assault unless you're going with the attempted battery form of assault
"Which creates a well-founded fear in such other person"
If the fear is not created then that element of the crime is not met. All elements must be met for a conviction.
I'm referring to the way the judge interprets the element of well-founded fear. It has to be a situation in which the act would create well-founded fear in any reasonable person in the same position as the victim, otherwise anyone could be successful filing assault charges by claiming they had fear. If a reasonable person in the same position would have had a well-founded fear, the element is satisfied.
So both are correct, and you have to have both for a conviction. First, you have to prove that the victim did in fact have the fear. Then, you have to meet the reasonable person burden to show that the fear alleged would have been created in a reasonable person of similar circumstances.

Would that make assault with a deadly weapon making someone fear that you'll attack them with said deadly weapon?
It could, yes. Also, in California at least, attempted battery is assault. So attempting to commit battery with a deadly weapon would also be assault with a deadly weapon. This could also be considered aggravated assault.
lol yea just last night a guy pulled a knife to my throat lol he wasnt trying to cut me, just scare, its ok.

Pursuing her beyond the point of any rational payback to screw things up for her... isn't all that different from what she did in response to whatever original insult the kids had.

Her behavior may have its own consequences but chances are she doesn't attribute any of the negative things that happen to her to her own behavior; it's likely nothing is ever her fault. If people don't pursue making her recognize what she did isn't right, then she will just continue doing it. I'm not saying taking legal action will make her rethink her life and magically become a better person, but it'd likely make her think twice the next time she tries to pull shit like this.

Yah, I don't think the step of getting her a minor charge lodged against her (because, I'm sorry, as sucky as those circumstances are they don't make for a felony prosecution) is going to help with cause and effect more than any of the rest of her life has.
A Camry from 20 years ago can be a reliable, economical vehicle, easily paid off and with low insurance rates. Not everybody spends all their money trying to keep their car recent and looking good. It looks like they're in a decently nice-ish little suburb; if she lives there, she's probably got a decent amount of resources.

She takes them off because she is thinking she is about to tussle with a kid. You can see her pick up the flip flops later and throw them back in the car.
An automobile is lethal weapon and he had a credible belief that she was trying to harm him. That meets the definition of terroristic threat in those places. In many states that's a felony.
Does that really make that much of a difference to you? She's willing to almost run down a 14 year old kid who has tried being polite to her, and that's the part you're stuck on?
This bitch is an adult, threatening a 14 year old kid, and then veering her car toward him. I think it's pretty safe to say that she wouldn't care a whole lot if she ran the kid down. She'd cry in the courtroom when she got sentenced. Right up until then tho, no remorse.
Doesn't matter. If I swing a baseball bat at a minor and miss "just trying to scare him" I've still assaulted the minor.

Yeah, scaring people with deadly weapons is illegal.
You can legitimately go to jail for trying to "scare" someone by driving your car at them.
Yes and trying to scare someone by directing a deadly object towards them is assault with a deadly weapon. Thats what the crime and tort of "assault" is in the United States: deliberately making someone fearful of imminent bodily contact - thats the "assault" part of "assault and battery" (the battery part is the actual contact).
So the kid was precisely right that she was trying to assault him...she was probably not trying to batter him.
Florida does have "road rage" laws in effect. They would at least get her on that...if not negligent operation of a motor vehicle, child endangerment, or a few others. In the end, she's fucked
I wish the police would see this video. Illegal backing. Threatening a person with an automobile. Parking and exiting a running car in the middle of the road. Possible assault.
She should at least get a visit from the local PD to have a chat with her.

I also assume you can't leave a running vehicle in the middle of the road while you rage at pedestrians. In Edmonton a few months ago there was a cop "panhandling" at an intersection and writing tickets for those people who took off their seatbelts to give him (the panhandling officer) change.
Most cops have kids and families, you show them that video and she would get a visit. Even if it wasn't an arrestable offense they'll show up just to let them know that they know where she lives and that they do not approve of what she's doing, it's the police equivalent of a shake down.
Uh no, I'm a cop and would definitely arrest her if the kid wanted to press charges.
Would probably just be a disorderly conduct as the intent would be hard to prove with the reversing towards him.
This has to be the first time I've seen a kid with a cell phone video who acted the right way.

Til: While wearing certain types of footwear while driving or driving barefoot is not illegal, vehicle control can be compromised, and it is not recommended. - source VA DMV
on the contrary, i always drive barefoot if I'm wearing flipflops (i kick of the right flipflop). it's way safer. i once got my flipflop caught up under the accelerator at a bad angle so i couldn't accelerate. i didn't want to see what happens if it gets caught up under the brake pedal.

How is control compromised? Race drivers wear shoes with the minimum amount of rubber because they want to maximize pedal feel. The only reason there is any rubber on their soles is because it adds grip.
Bare feet are obviously better in the pedal feel department but worse that rubber in grip. If you're going to say they're illegal because of the diminished grip, then what about all the shoes with even worse grip? My dress shoes for example have a sole that looks like finished wood (I'm sure it's actually some other synthetic material but apart from the carpeted floor at my work, they are crazy slippery). Original Toms also have a sole that seems like they found some way to force ice to never melt.

Flip flop slips off the brake, smashing the gas which causes the car to jump a curb and run over a lady pushing a baby carriage.
Bare feet are more of a concern when it comes to debris laying near your pedals like small rocks which may cause you to recoil in the case of slamming your breaks. Obviously not ideal
Control is definitely compromised in heels due to how the ankle pivots and how the heel of the shoe can get wedged into the carpet if you're not careful. It's, of course, perfectly legal to wear heels while driving, but it's SUPER difficult to get used to if you don't regularly wear them (which I do not).
Whenever I'm wearing a high heeled shoe, I'll either kick them off so I can be more comfortable with the pedals or (if I was smart that day) take some flats with me to wear while I drive and change my shoes back before I get out of the car. Personally, I think driving without shoes is gross (because usually people drive with shoes on and that means you're putting your bare foot on every gross thing people's shoe soles have touched-- probably more disgusting if you're in the city instead of burbs/countryside) but it's better IMO to be a little gross than to get in an accident due to footwear.

It's that they're less fixed to the foot and could hook the pedal.
A big problem (and why manufacturers now install brake assists) with normal drivers is they don't use the car to its full potential. I could see being barefoot being uncomfortable or sometimes painful if you have to slam on the brakes in an emergency and you might use even less force.

I drive barefoot all the damn time in the summer; mainly because I wear flip flops a lot. Literally keep a pair of old Sperrys tucked under my seat in case I need to throw shoes on real quick if I get pulled over.
They came in handy once a few months ago; probably won't ever leave my driveway without them in my car again.
Are you shitting me? We have the worst average driving record in the entire country. The VA DMV is a revenue collection device, and little more. "Grandpa" means that I remember within the last decade when BOTH parties in our heavily gerrymandered state banded together against the DMV when they introduced the $3k speeding ticket?
I have always been told if you are wearing flip flops to take them off and drive barefoot.
Due to the inherent nature of flip flops, they have a higher potential of getting caught up between the pedals and the floorboard, possibly wedging themselves and causing disruption to your ability to control the pedals.
I have to remove me who's when I'm in heels and backless shoes. Driving barefoot is uncomfortable, but at least I have full and worry free range of motion of my feet and ankles.
Cicute ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:49:56 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I think the same advice applies to a lot of high heels. There have been a lot of times when I've removed my heels to drive because they force your feet and/or legs into a weird position. Kind of like a permanently-wedged flip flop.
I'm in Houston, which is a goddamn blast furnace outside right now. Flip flops all day. I kick them off and scoot them closer to under my seat. It's almost guaranteed to cause problems especially with my 97 accord and all the clutch and gear changing. The back of the flip flop drags on the floor mat
True, although that's partially why I have pair of comfy sandals in my trunk. When I feel the need to 'vent' my feet those are always there, same if I stumble into my car in flip flops for some reason. I've driven barefooted before and it's not pleasant experience especially with manual car.
You can still get Hookworm running around barefoot in the south, though it's not endemic anymore. Shoes aren't just for fashion, they serve important function too. Watch out for feces and water that could be contaminated with feces.
Yeah but barefoot driving is also illegal in some places (namely, every state I've lived in). I'm not so sure as to why, but there are laws on the books.
My cousin wrecked his car when his flip flop got caught on the pedal and he couldn't hit the brakes. If I'm wearing sandals, they're coming off to drive.
You can charge a lot of things if people confess or admit. Without that, you have to rely on a jury. Jurors are really dumb sometimes. Not always, but sometimes.

Same. Assault would be difficult to prove on this, but disorderly conduct would fly.
I think the intent is pretty clear if you approach a stop sign 3 times, reverse twice and then get out of your car to harass a 14 year old kid. Correct me if I'm wrong but swerving toward him clearly delineates the intent from just backing up during the regular use of a vehicle. If she can prove there was a necessity for her to back up that many times and with that speed, maybe, but I think any prosecutor could use that damning of a video to remove any doubt that a judge would have.
Also I'm glad to hear at least one cop say they would arrest that bitch. I hope someone submits this video to local news outlets so she can at least face the music in her community and not just through random reddit users bashing her.
She doesn't have to prove shit. She has to give reasonable doubt to a jury. Really really easy when the crime is dependent on intent in most jurisdictions.
I think it morphed from being a suggestion by police into a "law".
Bare feet can turn a fairly minor accident into something you'll probably need a hospital visit to deal with as your feet slam into the random bits of metal in that area.
Oh really? Thank you. My gf drives barefoot all the time. She even goes most places barefoot, which is kind of annoying but no one's said anything. But I'm glad I don't have to be nervous about her breaking laws.

Her sandals were outside the open car door; she stepped into them one of the times she got back in. God knows why she took them off in the first place.
And saying "You're in the road so it will be okay when I hit you" doesn't constitute a greater crime than disorderly conduct in your mind? Or did you just miss that part?
Yeah, exactly. I'm sad that so few people understand that the legal definition of assault doesn't require physical contact in most (all?) jurisdictions.

Likely. I'm betting there was some shoe smack threatening/brandishing going on before the narrator kid got his phone out, and that's why she dropped them.
You must be a cop in the states. In Canada someone has to basically shoot you in the face to get the cops to care. My neighbour called the cops recently because some guy was in his bushes at 4am and threatened him when he confronted him and the cops didn't even come out. They just asked for a description and told him they would 'look for him'.
Not in the least. I can walk up to Obama a year ago or Trump today and say "your parents should have beat your ass" and there is no crime. It's just an opinion. It makes her a cunt.
Most laws would fall under this but a lot of crimes against persons would require intent to harm. Sometimes lesser charges exist like manslaughter for negligence vs. homicide for intent.
They either make me really fucking pissed and embarrassed when the cop was a piece of shit or I just laugh when Reddit has no fucking clue how law enforcement or the world works. Not much in between really.
Edit-and the barefoot driving thing is bullshit, why the fuck would that be a law????
It is a law in some places. The "logic" is that if you step on the brake but it has a wasp or a piece of glass on it, you'll pull your foot back instead of stopping the car.
That said, she did have flip flops. She just apparently took them off the first time she got out of the car, because she picks them back up before getting in.
Can you cite which places have those laws? A quick Google search shows that no US state has such a law, nor does the UK. Someone else pointed out it's not the case for German-language countries either.
Also, a couple of DMV statements that I saw recommended the use of footwear, citing traction, not the possibility of stepping on a wasp. That's a very interesting and creative justification for opposing barefoot driving.
A long time ago brakes were connected to the pedal, not through hydraulics. When you stopped, the heat transferred from the breaks to the pedal and would get really hot. If you are barefoot then you wouldn't be able to hold the brakes to stop through the heat. At least that's the story I heard about why it was "illegal to drive barefoot" at some point in time.

Because especially on older cars, the pedals get very hot when the car has been running for a while. The idea is that people would step on the brake, burn their foot, release the brake, and smash into stuff.

It is in Germany. Today it is probably not as relevant anymore but car breaks used to require lots of force. Barefoot you might not be able to brake as hard. Also you are not allowed to drive with flip flops because they can get caught in the pedals or slip.

nermid ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 22:28:23 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Well, I'm not a lawyer, but the idea is that there are two possibilities: either the State can prove that you're guilty (in which case the right thing is to punish you for your crimes), or the State can't prove that you're guilty (in which case, the right thing is to leave you alone). The fact that the State can't prove you're guilty doesn't mean you're innocent. It doesn't mean there's no way to prove you're guilty, or even that there's no legal way to prove you're guilty.
But if they don't prove it, they can't do anything about it.
So, the State is responsible for doing its best to prove its case (because theoretically, they should only charge you with something if they actually believe you're guilty), but that hinges on them being able to prove it. The trial is a judge and jury deciding whether they've actually proven it or not.
So, while it seems like everything is about winning or losing, it's really just the end of what's meant to be a long road of finding out the truth and what the right thing to do is.
For criminal trials, anyway. Civil trials are their own thing that I don't really know enough about to speak on.

Truth is one of those big, capital-letter words that philosophers deal with. The prosecution is working to prove that the State is correct that the defendent is guilty. The defense is working to show that the State hasn't proven that.
The prosecuting side has something to win by getting the defense on their knees because it means they've proven their case and the person really is guilty. Because when criminals are punished for their crimes, everybody in society (except the criminal) wins.
The defense has something to win by getting the prosecution on their knees because it means they've proven the state hasn't proven their case, and thus can't punish the defendent. Because when people are punished for crimes without it being proven that they committed those crimes, everybody in society (including the alleged criminal) loses.
I've just seen a lot of movies of the American justice system, also Making a murderer and such
I would urge you to remember how well movies cover pretty much every single other aspect of life. That is, not well.

This varies from state to state. Colorado, for instance, has no crime for battery and assault is the name for attacking another person with intent of bodily harm. Generally, police here will let people talking shit slide unless it's really bad and persistent, then it'll be a harassment charge.

In my understanding, in my state assault is the threat, battery is the misdemeanor for following through with it, and assault is the felony for following through with it. So, threatening to attack somebody and then doing it is either assault and battery or two counts of assault.
It wouldn't make sense for assault to be a greater charge than battery.
nermid ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:52:13 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Well, nobody ever said things made sense in Kansas.
I'm not a lawyer, though. I was drawing from a law firm's site on the topic, where the only thing that resembles punishing a threat is the bottom part about "intentionally placing another person in reasonable apprehension of immediate bodily harm." It's entirely possible I've misread this.
I think the only thing you misread was the connection between the felony and misdemeanor to the battery and assault respectively. Other than that you're correct.
Actually coming into contact with someone and causing harm to them is a greater crime than threatening someone with bodily harm.
With assault the victim has to find the threat to be credible. It could be argued in this case that "a reasonable person" would have had no real fear that her threat was credible.
I'm not arguing in her favor, just pointing out that threats, by themselves, don't necessarily constitute assault.
In the video she swerves when backing up in his direction rather than straight back. I am not saying it is worth the possible damages or whether it would not be plead down. I don't think a reasonable person would be able to argue that the threat was not credible when she had previously tried to do that and later in the video alluded to where they lived which while not a threat in and of itself, in the context bolsters the argument.
Especially when the jury is given the guidance to think not of a reasonable adults standards for what's threatening, but of a 14 year old's. There's probably extra legal protections and a lower standard for what a threat is when directed to a minor as well.
Just to add to this, the reason why people use the phrase, "assault and battery," is because "assault" is usually the threat of harm, while "battery" is the actual offensive contact. It's possible to have assault without battery.
Anyone reading this can easily look up how their state defines both of those terms, but I think it's relatively consistent.

In some states "assault" refers to what you just called "battery," and they have different terms for what you would call "assault," but otherwise they are fairly consistent.
You may be technically correct, but I think most people associate assault with physical violence. I just think saying "I'm going to kick your ass" or making a threatening gesture towards someone shouldn't be confused with the general public's understanding of assault. If you want to make it illegal, fine, but call it what it is - a threat.

Saying you're going to kick someone's ass, then stepping toward them in an aggressive manner would likely be considered assault. Simply threatening it might not be as some people say they're gonna kick your ass as a joke and it needs to be a credible threat.
When you see someone hold up a store with a gun, they are using the threat of the gun to coerce the shopkeeper into giving up their property. This is assault whether or not the gun is loaded or even real. The fact that it's labeled as assault with a deadly weapon instead of attempted murder means that the weapon was likely never discharged.
I think that the meaning of the law as written should be reinforced and that incorrect notions instilled into people by fictional television programs should be corrected.

Of course they would. Trying to scare someone by running them over is something you can get arrested for. You canโt just go around scaring people by deliberately pointing your car at them. Especially if youโre in an altercation with them.

Well besides the fact that she assaulted him with a deadly weapon. The elements that are needed to prooved an assault case.
โAn act intended to createโ:ย The defendant must act with the intent to create the state of fear or danger in the victim.ย Accidental acts do not result in an act of assault.โ
a reasonable apprehensionโ:ย This means that the victim had a reasonable belief that they would be harmed by the defendant.ย The victim must perceive (apprehend) the defendantโs acts.โ
of imminent harmโ:ย The victim must experience fear in response to a threat that is imminent, or immediately about to occur.ย Future threats, such as, โI will beat you up next weekโ do not result in assault charges.ย Also, the harm must present some sort of perceived physical danger to the victim, and so words by themselves generally do not constitute assault.โ
that is either harmful or offensiveโ:ย The defendantโs conduct must present either a physical threat or offensive behavior to the defendant.ย Thus, pretending to kick the victim may be an assault, as would be attempting to spit on the victim (offensive behavior).
Actually when she was walking toward him aggressively and backing up toward him, those would be assault. Charges could be filed. Most people think assault and battery are the same thing. I did too until a few weeks ago.

No but if she hits one of them later this might be able to be used to show motive.
And also the fact she's driving barefoot which I'm fairly certain is a crime in most states.

They might call her and give her advice? "Look mam, you might not have appreciated adults talking to your parents, but if there's kids playing in the street and not clearing for oncoming cars, the parents are exactly who you need to talk to."

Actually the foul mouth she had is a crime in Florida. She shouldn't be spouting those words at minors in florida.
However, the police should care about the content. She walked towards him in a threatening manor and expressed an intention to do physical harm. Hitting someone is battery, but the threat of physical violence is assault. She very clearly assualted that boy and I'd be interested to know if she is being prosecuted.

She was nervous tho, thats why she came back twice when she saw the kid recording her plates. Her voice was cracking, shes saying nothing remotely intelligent. Telling a young kid hes not tough and she would beat his ass. That lady just looks like a complete loser from every angle.

I dunno about cops, but if someone at her work sees this video she's going to get fired.
She was totally driving without shoes. So maybe nothing arrest-worthy happened, but I bet this lady would've gotten a hefty ticket just for that and MAYBE ticketed for parking her car and leaving it running multiple times in the middle of the street.

I worked in juvenile psych for years, and what we have here is what the shrinks called a power struggle. Adult wants the last word, at minimum, submission at best. To have the power of an adult in the situation, even as the frustration of having some kid backtalk her mounts.
Some people are not very good at recognizing they're caught in this loop until they're too angry to calm down on their own without being removed from the situation, and some kids are REALLY good at spinning people up by being juuuust defiant enough to provoke this reaction while still looking perfectly innocent.
Lady's obviously in the wrong, of course. My personal motto when it came to dealing with power struggles like this was "If you find yourself yelling at a 14 year old, you're wrong."

THIS. I am a teacher and specialized in behavior at my previous job. She totally got sucked into a power struggle. There were several other ways to address this (or just walk away). I have talked to kids about being in the street before, but you have to help them understand it from the perspective of the driver. A great way to make that connection could be to lead in by talking to them calmly about when they start driving, or express concern for their safety.
All I could think was...I hope she doesn't have kids of her own. Too many adults go bat shit on kids like this too often. This is how they grow into toxic adults. And so it goes...

So how do you handle issues with kids who want power struggles?
People who are in control of the situation don't really need to get mad and scream. It's more in line with someone who feels like they aren't. Honestly, what did she gain by fighting with the kid in the street? If she really felt like what the kids were doing was illegal or dangerous why not just calmly inform them? In the case where that isn't effective, she could call the police complaint line (not 911) and let the police come out and resolve the situation possibly resulting in contacting their parents.
I also work with pediatric and adult Psyche patients. I calmly inform them how things are going to go. They can say whatever the want in protest as long as they follow the instructions. If they don't (in the case of things that are not safe or are harmful) then I follow through with what I communicated would happen. Usually restraints if they are trying to hurt me or themselves, a mask if they are spitting, or whatever else is required to make a safe transport.
Not a psychologist but was a teenager at some point. Give them a punishment then walk away for them to think they "won" until they realize that they still got punished even if they got the last word. That's how my SCHOOL punishment always worked. Home was a bit different

Could you give an example? I don't know how I could punish a random kid that I've happened to get in a fight with but have no real authority over.
If you're not in authority over the kid, you don't get to punish them. Even if they cuss you out and insult you. Even if you're completely in the right. Unless you can find someone who does have authority over them or they've done something illegal, you have 0 recourse other than to walk away and continue your life knowing you're better than some shitty kid.

The entire core dynamic of a power struggle like this is the idea of 'winning' a yell-at-each-other match.. and having the other side KNOW you won. As soon as you realize that, and that it doesn't matter who 'won'.. the sooner you can get back to whatever you were doing .
A random kid? You like random people, you can't win.
At school though, if a kid is texting in class and has some random excuse. You give them a choice so they have some control. Always offer a choice and make the punishment simple and manageable. (also doesn't waste your time.)
"Give me your phone now and you can have it at the end of class or you can fight with me and then it goes to the office where you have to pay. We only have 20 minutes of class left."
The best option is obvious but it still gives the kid power to choose.

I like random people?
Also, in this instance the kid is random, because unknowing people with no prior connection started arguing about an unforeseen event.
I was originally thinking the of adult being teacher/parent of said teen. But no reason I can't try to find an application of this as per circumstances of the video. Let's say that some kids are using your yard for kicking a ball around but you don't like that and they won't listen to you telling them to get off your property. Because knowing where they live to have the parents deal with them would be to easy, let's assume you don't know.
In this instance, after 3-4 minutes of them being blatantly in the wrong and pushing on your rights you give a warning that you will call the police because it is in your right to do so. They will most likely respond with "DO IT, I DARE YOU" or something of that nature because they don't think you care enough for that. And then call the cops because it is an actual problem that requires their assistance because you do not have enough authority over them to do anything other then prolong the conflict.
Not the most satisfying answer but this is about all you can do as an adult with no connection to the kids other than they are on your lawn actually abusing your rights. I will reiterate I instinctively thought of a teacher/parent role for this advice not someone without prior connection to the problematic kids.

So how do you handle issues with adults who want power struggles? (Serious question, 30 something year old dealing with a retired mother who still treats him like he's 13. Send help.)

HA! My dad told me I wasn't pulling the anchor up right the other day. I was literally being told that I was pulling a rope up incorrectly. I didn't bang the anchor off the bottom of the boat, I didnt let the rope get disorganized, I wasn't doing it slowly.
I'm assuming that you live on your own, support yourself, etc. because that makes answering this question a lot easier. The answer? Don't engage. You are a 30-something year-old man. You do not need your mom's permission. So, if you tell her something, and she's like "You shouldn't do that or you should do it this way," calmly state, "Thanks for your advice, but that's what I've decided to do." The end. Keep calm, change the subject. She can't have an argument with you if you don't join in.
The proper way to deal with these kids would have been carefully navigating around them and continuing on her way home. I really don't understand her thought process. "I'm gonna tell them they're wrong, then they'll change their behavior." Ha ha ha. Has she just never talked to anyone between the ages of 12 and 23? 'Cause if you think you can talk sense into them, especially with no ability to punish them or incentives to offer, she's crazier than we thought.
MDKAOD ยท 7 points ยท Posted at 20:25:10 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The answer? Don't engage.
I've started doing that. She lives on another coast and decided on her own, without consultation, that she would be staying with my and my family for 10 days. I told her she wasn't welcome to stay for more than two due to previous recent issues. Now, she's throwing a temper tantrum becauase I "hurt her feelings" while she completely disregards mine and won't speak to me directly but through my 11 year old daughter by saying things like "This is why your father and I are fighting". The crux of the issue is she makes decisions for me, without my knowledge citing that she "wants the best for me". For example, I'm renovating my home, so she bought tile she liked without as much as a phone call. It's that kind of stuff.
DAYUM. That's messed up. I actually had a grandma who pulled shit like this on everyone and when my mother tried it too, I had to cut her out of my life for several years.
You could try telling your daughter to tell her grandmother that she should talk directly to you and that she doesn't want to be in the middle of it. Poor kid. :( It's good that she doesn't live too close to you guys.

My daughter is understanding. We sat down and has a great conversation about everything that's been going on, of which I've left out a metric ton of detail. She goes "oh don't worry I know the way she's acting isn't okay and I definitely know I didn't do anything to cause it"
At least I know I'm raising her right. Credit goes to my wife. She's a great bonus mom to my daughter. Wouldn't know what to do without her.

There's a fine art to engaging without engaging. Redirect, and don't give them the control over you they're wanting.
The funny thing IMO: if you're reacting to something, it's 100% in control of you. There's a few million evolutionary years of difference between reaction and response.
It's both funny and sad to watch this woman stoop to the level of a tween while this kid dances intellectual circles around her. She has no idea how dumb she is.
I used to run a pizza place in an area that had riots in 2015, and the week after we kept having issues with teenagers. They were waiting on a bus stop outside my store, and they were throwing empty bottles at each other, but "missing" and hitting the windows, and sitting on my drivers car. My driver started to flip shit at them, so I sent him inside, and told him to call the non emergency number and ask the police to do a drive by. Then I sat out front and recorded it with my phone, because as long as they were in the parking lot, I had permission to do so (woo I know my city's laws!!). The kids flipped out at me and I just sat there recording them asking them to leave my property please. Finally one girl goes "omg guys stop! She's recording!" And they all were like "idgaf fuck the police!" And she goes "Guys! We're in our SCHOOL UNIFORMS! AND SHES RECORDING US!"
I just smiled and told them to have a nice day. The girl started to point out that I was gonna get them in trouble with the school, who would contact their parents (and yes I would, since my AM was the Valedictorian at the same school). The police showed up and chilled with me while we waited for the bus to come, and the kids stood there silent and angry, sulking. They left, the cops and I laughed. I didnt send the video in, but I have it to my AM who thought it was hilarious. Never had an issue with those little shits again.
As an experienced middle school teacher, this is exactly what I was going to say. Two people who feel like they are entitled to the last word: one because they are the adult, one because they are the teenager.

Yep. Kid was definitely instigating her. Everyone involved was being dumb assholes.
I personally think that both are at least somewhat at fault. He kept provoking her, and she retaliated. If I were in that situation, I'd like to think I'd have just shut up and fucked off.

Oh definitely. This kid wasn't 'intelligently dealing with an angry adult'
He's deliberately spinning her up. Why else would he throw out that one last line when she's in the process of leaving? To reel her back in. Why? Because it works.
And yes, she should have left about ten seconds into the video. Knowing the reason behind a behavior explains it, but it doesn't excuse it.
Yeah I think it wasn't him trying to bait her for the sake of getting a good video but more about him being too prideful too back down knowing he was in the right. He simply thought "why should I take this from this lady when I'm right, she should be the one to leave not me". walking away from an argument when you know you're right requires a level of maturity many Adults don't have and to expect kids to have it is just unrealistic. Both wanted the last word in and the adult was not mature enough to actually break the cycle.
I meant in the kids shoes lol. I'm closer to his age than hers. I meant that if I was in his situation and I was trying to go on my way, I'd have disengaged and just let her "win"
If we get belligerent people acting like that we can ask them to move on, or call the cops. We have anti-social behavioural orders for people that cause constant problems in the UK, and we have prison sentences if they continually violate their orders.
Years ago I worked outreach with offenders. Some of my colleagues got attacked because they were too soft, or were actually disrespectful. There was one reason I was never attacked. People knew I would hurt them if they ever became remotely violent towards me. I made a point of letting anyone that seemed belligerent that, and it neutralises them. As a result of not treating them like snowflakes, I'm the only person I know that has had people turn weapons over to me.
It's not an immature adult to say "I won't accept your shit", or "this is what will happen if you try your regular stuff with me". It's not uncaring or unfeeling at all. By establishing a concrete ground, you have a foundation to build upon. Until you've met young people covered in scars, missing eyes, because others have put them in their place, you have no right to an opinion on what happens to these brats.
It honestly sounds like the institution you were part of was harming and perpetuating delusions these types have. They are not entitled to respect when they threaten a woman as individuals or members of groups.

Hah. Are you unaware that teenagers have been assholes since caveman times? It's called hormones dude.
If a woman had told my dad I spoke to her like that as a teen, my ass would have been beaten regardless of me being stupid enough to film it. I'd have been made to apologise, and I'd have been grounded, which is why we did covert brat things.
I still find it funny when kids do covert brat things, but this was overt, threatening, and tbh makes me understand why that guy shot that little punk a few years back.
These little a-holes start the video threatening violence upon a woman. Imagine how she feels for a second... She's not that large a woman, I'd guess low 5-feet, maybe 140lbs, there is one of her, at least two adolescents with testosterone, at-least her height, telling her "If you were a guy".

Dude, you and your childhood sound insane. And you have to understand your opinions on raising and disciplining kids are formed by your psycho dad beating you.
The kids did not threaten violence upon her. She's the one that chose to stop and engage them just because they're playing in the street. If your dad would've beaten you for talking to an adult like that, your dad is a piece of shit. After reading your asinine ramblings, I don't really care about your opinion on raising children and nobody should.
So you're pro a group of male teenagers saying to a woman
"retarded fuck, I wish you were a guy right now. Oh my god"
That is a credible threat of violence by a group of multiple people, larger than she was. If she hits them with her car next-time, good!
I don't really care about your opinion on raising children and nobody should.
Ditto. If anyone is on the fence, this person thinks it's okay to threaten women in groups over "your perceived rights", rather than focusing on "your responsibilities as a citizen".
I have no criminal record, I've been a lecturer and vetted for young people's safety by other professionals working in that space. I've got an enhanced criminal records disclosure and I earn just under 10 time my nations minimum wage, and insist upon paying others a living wage for work undertaken.

I don't know. My initial reaction is to say, who gives a shit? You're in a moving vehicle going forward. Go on with your life. What exactly would be the aim here? What could you possibly accomplish? Okay, so BEST case, what? The kid says oh my god I'm so sorry, sincerely? Realistically though, a few little shit teens don't care, it's just funny to them you're getting riled up. You're just feeding into at that point. What is to possibly gain? Winning an argument with a kid you don't even know?
I left Florida just as that became popular in like 2014. It was basically someone said "Well I mean assholes had No Fear on their car right? Well it's about time that came back."
I'm a Floridian and started noticing Salt Life on a lot of cars out of nowhere. I couldn't read the font and thought it looked more like Slut Life (didn't notice the A) at first. I was very confused.
I'm not the only one, then! It took me awhile to figure out what the new phrase I was seeing on the back of cars actually was. I knew it couldn't be "slut life" but the A was just too small so my brain filled it in as slut instead of salt.
Everyone keeps saying she's barefoot. When I'm pretty sure she had flip flops on. She took them off when she got out of the car and at one point picks them up. Still, fuck that lady.
It seems like half the people on the roads down here have either Salt Life, Local (with Florida's shape used for the "L"), or the t = <3 stickers. I don't understand any of them. What am I doing wrong that I haven't been invited to any of these cults?
You're not the only one. A few people have those stickers on their cars at my office and the conversation has come up, and everyone seems to think it says slut life. It must be a common interpretation. You'd think they would have caught that before making it their logo.
Iโm so glad Iโm not the only one. The first time I saw one on a car I sped up because I couldnโt believe someone would put it on their vehicle and I knew I was reading it wrong.
Idk if this is florida. That kid is wearing a long sleeve and by the looks of his shadow hes got the hood on. I live in florida and if this video is recent this kid is fucking nuts. Its been 110"f for about 3 weeks
The entitlement and egotism is what gave her away for me. People here are all about "Me Me Me Me" it's why it's an awful place to live regardless of the weather, no one here behaves like they live in a society, everyone behaves like they own the whole state and everyone else is annoyingly in their way at all times.
LPT: If you can't think your way out of your current situation in an argument, you ain't gonna be able to argue your way out either. Cut your losses and move on.
This woman's got it all...doesn't know the law, can't come up with good quips, loses the comeback war, leaves and comes back to say more...she's got "I'm losing this argument" written all over her. She even resorts to picking him apart for name calling, which he didn't even do.
This woman probably is married to a pushover guy who swears when he argues and she uses that to win every argument. Her husband is probably smarter than her but more socially awkward so doesn't leave or stand up for himself out of fear of being single forever.
The answer is "yes"...when you act like a tool in public, you are often that transparent...
It's what made us this advanced conversely as well I guess. We wouldn't have video games and other cool shit not being so advanced, so there's your silver lining.
Wonder Showzen, "hidden camera" (in the sense that people are being recorded but if they know it they don't know the real reason) sketch comedy show presented as if it's children's educational television. In this sequence a puppet is used to ask offensive, awkward, or just provocative questions to people and they film their reactions.
This guy, apparently monstrously retarded, took offense to someone recording him and, as a result of being fundamentally broken in the head, followed the camera for two minutes while complaining about being on it.
The show itself is pretty incredible. It's not like some shows where they do a reveal, it's straight up people thinking they're on educational television and then a kid calls them a nazi or something.

He was clearly waiting for the dude to turn off the camera, I already saw that several weeks ago and it's pretty clear by his behavior (and the fact he walks in a circle with the camera man) that he wants to hit the cameraman.
Because some people think everything they don't like is illegal.
That isn't the way it works, but i mean... We're talking about the kind of woman who just tried twice to reverse her car into a child who was recording her doing so.
Because some people think everything they don't like is illegal.
That sums up way too many people. Everything they want to do is legal (or should be) and everything they don't like needs to be punishable with 20 years hard time.

or unconstitutional. Ever ask one of these people exactly which part of the constitution the ACA violates? Fun stuff.
Edit: And here come the downvotes lol.
Edit2: The ACA haters here seem to be missing the point. This post was never about whether the ACA is good or not. It's about idiots that go around calling everything unconstitutional despite a clear absence of anything in the constitution that addresses it. It's not a political discussion about whether the ACA should remain or go. In fact, I specifically avoided making any comments supporting or demeaning the act. You'll notice that i did not make a single comment on the contents of the ACA itself.
Of course, if these people could separate an argument about a subset of people hate on the ACA from one on whether it is constitutional or beneficial I wouldn't have needed to make this post. The replies below are a really good illustration of what I mean about people being unable to separate unrelated arguments, and viewing "unconstitutional" as a personal insult rather than one of fact.
Tl;DR: People use "unconstitutional" as an insult against anything they disagree with all the time, particularly the ACA. It's silly to deny that fact, regardless of your stance on the ACA.

Go ahead and read my original post and all of my replies. None of them argue about whether the ACA is good or not. You people are the ones turning this into a political discussion.
It's not that the ACA "violates a part of the Constitution". That implies that the federal government has the right to do anything except the things the constitution says they can't do. That's actually the total opposite way the Constitution works. Right there in the Constitution it actually says that the federal government's powers are "limited and enumerated" to the ones listed in the Constitution. Which means that by default, the federal government is allowed to do nothing at all. The only things they are allowed to do from there are listed and limited to the powers the Constitution is allowed to have. None of those powers listed says anything about healthcare however they do have the right to regulate commerce so maybe the ACA could be justified that way? But seems like a strech imo.
I don't know why everyone answering you is speculating about the ACA's legality when the Supreme Court has literally already addressed the issue. Only 4 justices said it was supported by the Commerce Clause (Kennedy voted with the conservatives). Instead, Roberts joined the liberals to say it was justified under Congress's power to tax (referring to the penalty you pay if you don't have your own insurance).
Anyone mentioning anything about Congress's power to legislate for the "general welfare" of the people has no idea what he's talking about. That's only found in the preamble, which does not enumerate any legislative powers. The preamble is just saying, "Hey, the general idea of this whole Constitution thing is secure liberty, make people better, that kind of thing."

Article 1 section 8 of the constitution:
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
And the Supreme Court has already spoken about that mention, too, saying that is not another enumerated power, but a qualification on the taxing power.

Right so Congress has the power to tax and spend for the general welfare which is in and of itself a pretty large grant of power including the ACA.
I don't disagree. I was mostly just responding to people calling it the general welfare power, which doesn't exist. It's the taxing power. That specific mention about general welfare has traditionally had little to no teeth in actual legal interpretation.

Right but that is kind of a minor technicality because there is a general welfare power it's just tied to taxing and spending. I think people are referring to that and not the preamble when they mention it.
Great comments by Morgio and diagonalproof. Good to see that some people can still have discussions without making everything black and white or lumping everyone into two categories.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment, be sure to see the post Morgio made about article 1 section 8, they are
right. The general welfare phrase is indeed not just in the preamble.
Anyway, most people have a hard time having a nuanced discussion and instead turn everything into a left vs right fight. I am not interested in political debate but I was happy to educate this person on how the constitution works with regard to the powers of the federal government. I'm offering no opinion. I am merely stating that the Constitution says that the federal govs powers are limited to the ones listed in the Constitution. If that fact offended anyone then I don't know what to say haha.
It is a sad truth that many US citizens believe the federal government can do anything they want unless the Constitution says they can't. They couldn't be more wrong. The federal governent is not allowed to do anything at all unless they can point to the part of the Constitution that says they can. My only goal is to give facts and let ppl make their own opinions. Some ppl think that the general welfare clause or commerce clause are justification for the ACA. That's ok with me. As long as they understand that the federal governments powers are limited to the ones listed in the Constitution. That's too much for some people who care more about getting their way than they do about the foundation of our republic :)
Is this the same logic behind banning gay marriage and abortion, because of all the references to them in the Constitution? Right-wingers only seem to use this philosophy when it benefits them.

Actually yes. That's why states have enacted laws regarding those things. The federal government did not.
The Supreme Court had cases brought to them regarding those laws and a decision was made on the legality of the laws.
The ACA was not a state law and also is not specified by the constitution as being within the federal governments power. Therefore it is not legal per the constitution.
But then again loads of things that Congress have done is not legal per the constitution. So at this point the constitution is just a talking point.

At least for gay marriage the federal government should be involved. The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment (part of the constitution) means that everyone should have equal access to marriage.

Ah ha. Yea I suppose there did have to be some. Would be pretty weird if your marriage in Georgia wasn't valid in New York. And yea, they gotta do something about it for tax purposes.
And yes, not sure why it came up but the military is part of the federal government.
Well, that's what 5 of 9 supreme Court justices "think" (I think at least some of them ruled their way due to politics and not the Constitution). The equal access to marriage thing is baloney, under the old rules everyone could marry someone of the opposite sex. There was 0 intention for that meaning when it was written and nobody had taken it to mean such for 100 years. Politics were so far behind that the judges took it into their own hands, which unfortunately they did have to do.
I think it would've been better with its own federal law.
I don't really understand your argument for why equal access to marriage is baloney. I would consider marriage a protection under the law. It's a way for two people to join their accounts/estates to facilitate a family unit.
here was 0 intention for that meaning when it was written and nobody had taken it to mean such for 100 years.
The 10th amendment states it explicitly and clearly:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Article 1 section 8 of the constitution:
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence[note 1] and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
Congress has the power to tax and spend for the general welfare
Tax and spend is indeed a power granted to the federal government. However, they cannot say for example, general welfare would be improved if no one used swear words. Or general welfare would be improved if private property didn't exist. The federal government is granted explicit power, and everything else is denied.

But they could tax or spend to achieve those goals so the distinction is kind of meaningless.
Depends on your point of view I suppose. If you think the constitution exists to let the government do anything it feels like, then I suppose you think the distinction is meaningless. Or, if you think the constitution was created to curtail the power of the federal government (which the overwhelming majority of historians and scholars agree with) then the distinction is quite important.
Taxing and spending for example is fine - compelling someone to purchase insurance, or say, taxing at 100% anyone who uses the word "fuck" is probably out of line with what the constitution was intended to do.
To be fair, at the time of it's writing, I do believe we still had doctors not necessarily washing their hands between patients. We didn't have the ability to save people from dying from things like cancer or even diabetes that we do now.
Also, the censorship "law" you "propose" would run directly afoul of the 1st Amendment, so that would be interesting to see how it goes. But we did used to have towns and such with vulgarity laws.

It's true that the constitution is a limitation on federal government power but you seem to assume that because something is limiting that power that the government should have little power. That's not really the case.
compelling someone to purchase insurance,
This has been decided by the Supreme court to not be a violation of the constitution and I agree. Taxing someone who doesn't have health insurance is fine because their choice not to buy health insurance harms the general welfare by increasing prices for everyone else. It is pretty much exactly how the constitution intended it to work.
It's true that the constitution is a limitation on federal government power but you seem to assume that because something is limiting that power that the government should have little power. That's not really the case.
That actually exactly the case and the original intent of the constitution. No one denies that; not a single historian that I know of. The only matter under disputed is we care or can "re-imagine" the intent as we see fit from time to time. This something to be careful of, even for you - as it means it's perfectly acceptable for the composition of the court to change and for them to change their mind.

Is it the case though? The constitution was a response to the inadequacies of the articles of confederation whose primary problem was that it created a government that was too weak and powerless to get anything done. So then you have a clause which provides that Congress can provide for the general welfare (pretty broad right?) as well as a clause stating that the government can enact any law that is necessary and proper to execute any of the granted powers (again pretty broad language right?) Then you have founding fathers saying:
In April 1787, James Madison, second author of The Federalist, wrote to George Washington his aim for a new Constitution: "The national government should be armed with positive and compleat authority in all cases which require uniformity." (Madison also wanted a rule that no state law could take effect until Congress explicitly approved it.)
As early as 1780, Alexander Hamilton (one of the authors of The Federalist) wrote to James Duane that "[t]he fundamental defect [in the Articles of Confederation] is a want of power in Congress. It is hardly worth while to show in what this consists, as it seems to be universally acknowledged, or to point out how it has happened, as the only question is how to remedy it."
John Jay, third author of The Federalist, made clear to Washington his own view: "What Powers should be granted to the Government so constituted is a Question which deserves much Thought--I think the more the better--the States retaining only so much as may be necessary for domestic Purposes; and all their principal Officers civil and military being commissioned and removeable by the national Governmt."
Your entire premise is wrong. There is not a clause giving congress the power to provide for the general welfare. You're citing the justification for the power granted instead of the power granted itself.
As I'm sure you're aware, the bill of rights was added to the constitution to directly combat the point of view you listed here.

Sorry typing too fast but we just discussed this, the grant of power is to tax and spend for the general welfare so yes it exists.
I know the constitution is meant to limit, my point is that just because the constitution is inherently a limit, doesn't mean the grant of power is small.

The 10th amendment states it explicitly and clearly:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
But they have been delegated by the federal governement. That's what the ACA is...
You'd need to amended the Consition. Yes, the ACA is unconstitutional, but so are tons of other laws and acts. No one really cares though and you can usually get stuff through by using loopholes in the way it's worded.
Yes, because it's basically agreed upon in American politics that the Constitution means what we interpret it as, not what it was intended to mean. So technically most federal programs are unconstitutional if you consider the original meaning.
Maybe one of them (Jefferson?) advocated doing that, but it wasn't written in the document, so you really can't say that was what was supposed to happen.
There are many things the Constituion gives congress the power to do. It's not really opinion when they give you a clear list. The difference of opinion is between understanding the document with original intent vs. interpretation of how it's written.
You do realize multiple judges in those supreme court decisions commented both times in their dissents on what a mockery of the law\constitution the ACA is right? It was passed on pure leftist politics. Our Supreme Court is no longer impartial, and they haven't been for a long time.
Democrats and Republicans would both agree with the supreme court not being impartial, and both would be referring to perceived bias for the other "side".
I'm not sure what you are trying to get at with this response, but just in case I will tell you this has zero to do with my "perceived bias" for one side or the other.
I don't have time right now to list a million examples, but the Supreme Court, and to a lesser extent courts like the 9th Circus of appeals have made hilariously absurd decisions that cannot be justified by any other reason than pure bias on their part-- not mine.
I don't read the article headline and call it day. I read their decisions they actually wrote themselves. Some of their arguments on why they passed or denied a law are so awful a ninth grader could refute them with ease, and I am not exaggerating.
If you want to laugh out loud, take a look at the most recent Travel Ban decision(ruled unconstitutional) by the Ninth Circus and read their arguments for declaring it unconstitutional. That decision was so bad the supreme actually ruled unanimously against it. I can't remember the last time I have seen that happen. That's what a joke their decision was.
I could go on and on with this. Point being, impartiality has been extremely bad with our recent courts and it has nothing to do with perception and everything to do with our stupid extremist political climate where no one can be the middle ground anymore.
I was saying that whether you are on the right or the left you more than likely view the Supreme Court as being biased against you. There are reasons you can list regardless of your political leanings. Liberals take issue with the hobby lobby ruling, Shelby county, citizens united, and a others. And there are rulings that Republicans immensely disliked. The ACA being a prime example.
I wasn't referring to their reasoning.
In any case, I hope you enjoy your day. I have things to do and people to spend time with. I wish you and yours the best.
I always learned that the Constitution is more like a list of powers granted to the federal government. So don't federal laws have to be explicitly/implicitly permitted by the Constitution as opposed to not prohibited by it?
It's a pretty shitty argument to claim that the founding document of our nation is simply not relevant anymore because it's old. And I don't think we've betrayed it either. The Constitution does grant a lot of powers, and I think the courts have upheld the integrity of it when it was threatened.

This doesn't change the fact that you can't cherry pick enforcing these laws when it benefits Republicans while ignoring them when it doesn't. We're at the point where all parties are clearly beyond this argument. Pulling them out now isn't a valid argument when this has clearly not been enforced for everything else.
I'm not talking about the ACA, man. The courts decided that the ACA is not unconstitutional, and frankly I don't know any better, so I'm going with them. I'm really just arguing principles.
Oh I don't disagree. We have amended our Constitution over the years, and that's totally fine, often necessary like you say. But change it before passing laws that wouldn't otherwise be allowed by it and always abide by the Constitution in its current state, regardless of its age.
For clarity, I'm not talking about the ACA at all, just how constitutional documents work in general.
Not as simple as a majority, but yes it can be changed with an amendment.

Depends on the section. The original constitution itself lays out powers, who has them, and basically says all powers not otherwise enumerated go to the states (who often then forward what they don't use to the counties, and in the cases of those counties with charters, often then forward it to the municipalities, and from there technically it's your own private property then you make the laws (as long as they don't violate any of the layers above yours)). The amendments to the constitution (primarily the first 10) - often called the bill of rights - describes limits on those powers, or any forwarded powers, that cannot be broken by any layer of government.
So Article 1 of the constitution describes various powers explicitly given to the legislative bodies. The first amendment to the constitution describes the right to free speech which the government may not violate with any power at any level.
I was walking down the street in a large city not long ago and this dbag with a camera kept getting in my face and followed me for series of city blocks. Of course I asked him nicely to leave but he kept saying it was his right blah blah blah. After a few minutes of that crap I just wanted to hit in his mouth so bad. I was really loosing myself in anger. But then I saw the look in his face that I've seen before as a kid. A look of someone who wants to ruin people's lives. He wanted me to hit him and he wasn't really hiding it. I'm sure he would have sued me and said that everything he did was legal. This brief moment of sanity also gave me the insight to walk into a retail store where they could tell him to fuck off. He passed on and I went home and not to jail.
Not saying everyone who knows the law, or thinks they know the law are aggravating turd holes but this guy was for sure. He wanted the attention and drama of me causing a scene.

Whether or not it's effective is besides the point. There are still an absolutely insane number of people calling it unconstitutional despite the fact that there's nothing in the constitution itself that remotely relates to it. My comment was directly addressing those people.
What? Bringing up the ACA was besides the point of this whole thread. I haven't seen what you're talking about at all with people saying it's unconstitutional. The main complaint of the ACA is that it doesn't actually do anything to lower healthcare costs and it is a massive financial burden on lower income policy buyers who are forced to purchase bad coverage plans or else they get taxed thousands of dollars.

Bruh, you need that non-essential coverage at all times. What, only wanted catastrophe insurance (like a broken arm or heart attack)? Lol, go fuck yourself, here's non-essential addons because we have to make this worth it for the sponsors bruh.
The ACA was upheld 5 to 4, with Robert's vote 5 almost having gone the other way. He upheld the law not because it was constitutional, but instead because he feared that striking the law down would somehow politicize and harm the Supreme Court as an institution.
Ever ask one of these people exactly which part of the constitution the ACA violates? Fun stuff.
Why don't you ask the 4 United States Supreme Court justices who held that the ACA is unconstitutional? Better yet, read their dissenting opinions where they explain it to you.
Even the majority who upheld the ACA rejected ALL of the government's arguments in support, and instead only saved it by invoking the tax power, when the ACA's proponents explicitly said it wasn't a tax, and the bill wasn't written as a tax.
Oh, and you are correct that the ACA does not violate any specific part of the Constitution. That is not the end of the analysis, though, because that is not how the Constitution works. It is not "do whatever you want unless this document says no", instead, Congress has no power to do anything unless the Constitution gives it that authority. The problem with the ACA is that nothing in the Constitution gives Congress the right to force me to have health insurance.
I'm pretty sure I recall even Keith Olbermann ranting about how the ACA is unconstitutional, and he is as left wing as people get.
instead because he feared that striking the law down would somehow politicize and harm the Supreme Court as an institution.
Do you have a source for this? That would make him a pretty shitty judge... because then he would be making rulings based on politics rather than how he believed the decision should be made based on the law/constitution. Ironically the exact thing he was trying to avoid.
I remember reading news stories about it at the time discussing how the conservatives had his vote, but then Roberts turned on them later on because he was afraid that striking down the ACA would cause a crisis. The conservatives were really bitter about it.
Conservatives saw it as Roberts caving in to left wing media pressure. I saw other comments about how Roberts was more concerned with politicization of the Supreme Court and its legitimacy being undermined in the eyes of liberals if he dared to strike down their major policy victory of the past 8 years.
Roberts is a smart man. He initially sided with the conservatives because that position represented his true beliefs, I do not believe that he suddenly "woke up" and realized the ACA was constitutional on the merits. His tax power argument essentially re-writes the law into something other than what was passed.
Hmm. But you see what I'm saying right? He digs himself into a whole either way. Either he appears to politicize the court by striking it down, or he actually does politicize the court by changing his vote, voting based on politics rather than the based on the law as he interprets it. I don't know which one would be the right way to handle it.
or he actually does politicize the court by changing his vote
he picked the liberals over conservatives because he thought liberals would revolt against the USSC and destroy it as an institution, whereas the conservatives would get over it. of course the USSC is politicized anyway, and his bad call left us with the health care mess we have now.
Yea, but did liberals really have the power to take down the Supreme Court? Like if he had been the fifth vote to shut it down, what recourse would the liberals in congress have had? Do any politicians have the ability to take on the Supreme Court, given that they dominate the legislature?
his bad call left us with the health care mess we have now.
Well, I would argue that most of the problems with Obamacare stem from the fact that it is not a true single payer system, something that the Republicans were unwilling to try. But that's a different discussion.
They wouldn't need to take it down literally. They would just stop respecting it, and stop caring what it said, like Fox News. Anything that is ever on Fox News, if you bring it up to a liberal, they will completely dismiss it. Roberts was scared of this happening to the USSC.
Also, he was worried about "the politicization of the Court" whereby the court just becomes another partisan entity with no real respect for the rule of law, but that has already happened. Republicans and Democrats already try to stack the court with people who will vote for their side.
Well, I would argue that most of the problems with Obamacare stem from the fact that it is not a true single payer system, something that the Republicans were unwilling to try. But that's a different discussion.
I'm pretty sure Ive read that single payer would cost trillions of dollars. Yep:
When Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) proposed a โMedicare for allโ health plan in his presidential campaign, the nonpartisan Urban Institute figured that it would raise government spending by $32โtrillion over 10 years.
I'm pretty sure Ive read that single payer would cost trillions of dollars
What a ridiculous dismissal. Interestingly enough every other developed country with a single payer system pays less per capita for healthcare and most of them have better healthcare outcomes than the US. The current system is the most expensive in the world(wiki), so while yes a single payer system in the US might be expensive, it is still likely to be less costly than the system we currently employ... which is, again, the most expensive in the world.
I'm allowed to have an opinion on whether something is Constitutional that differs from what gets 5 votes on the USSC. I happen to agree with the minority. Besides, the court could overrule its prior opinion at any time.
Correct. In fact, there was debate over whether or not to include it because many of the founders thought it was obvious.
James Madison argued "I admit they may be deemed unnecessary: but there can be no harm in making such a declaration, if gentlemen will allow that the fact is as stated. I am sure I understand it so, and do therefore propose it."Source
It is a good idea, because I've found that in legal matters, people can engage in some pretty ridiculous mental gymnastics to reach the result they want. I've had multiple cases where legal issues so obvious that there is no case law on the subject arose because the other side was just making up how it thought the law should work as it went along.
I mean, 4 out of 9 Supreme Court justices concluded that the ACA was unconstitutional. Presumably, there is some substance to that position, unless you think that Scalia, Thomas, Alito, and Kennedy are four "idiots that go around calling everything unconstitutional despite a clear absence of anything in the constitution that addresses it."

And they don't like the idea of being recorded because they are well-aware of how inappropriate and ridiculous they usually are. Only instead of doing something about it, they're trying to make the world around them be just as shitty as they are so that they don't stand out too much.
Sometimes it happens with police officers too. There was a recent case out of Florida where a man was walking across the street but the walk signal turned to stop while he was walking, so a police officer pulled him aside. The guy recorded the whole thing, including the cop's response when he said he didn't have ID on him, as he was just walking around. The cop said he could book him for just that, but according to Florida law you only need ID when driving or operating machinery
I had a guy drunkenly drive up to us while we were all hanging outside, threaten to kill one of my friends, chop him up into little pieces, take those pieces out to the ocean and dump him (if you didn't know this was Florida yet, now you know). Why did he threaten my friend, because the drunk guy was worried about his kids... This was at 10:30 at night. On a school night.
We weren't scared of his threat, but the man was a drunk POW with a record and known by the police for having to take calls involving him, and he was threatening a group of high schoolers...
To be fair, had this been during the day, his fear would have been credible because his children run around the yard and street and have no regard for their own safety. Not even a look both ways deal; just, "my ball is in the street now, must run out from nowhere and get it immediately!"
Yeah, I loved the "I don't have to yield!" line. Yes, you do. It is your responsibility to avoid an accident if you are able, and if that means stopping because some kids are in the road, then that is what you must do. Maybe they could be cited with jaywalking, or are breaking some other law, but that doesn't give you the right to hit children playing in the street of a suburb.

Jaywalking is litterally a 1$ fine in my state, which makes situations like these hilarious. "They were doing something that they would get fined 1$ for, so its perfectly acceptable for me to commit vehicular homicide."
Believing in what could essentially be a death sentence for jaywalking is insane.
Surely if they are in the road breaking what I'll admit is a minor law, they are on some level declaring they don't care about their life?
It might not be so simple as "a death sentence for jaywalking", what if there was another car on the opposite side of the road, and you're both going 20 and can't stop? It could just as easily be stopped by y'know, not jaywalking. This is why some nations take it very seriously.
As an adult, I don't cross the road if there are cars within visible range, or if I can't see more than 50m. I'll walk until I find a legal crossing, or have 50m visibility in both directions. It's not logical or reasonable to rely on everyone else to protect your life, there is just too much to predict, but as it's the most precious thing you have, why not take some responsibilities along with your rights?

Just take this to it's logical conclusion. You have to stop for any citizen in the road, despite the fact they are not a car... Car-jacking would be much easier then.
The kids themselves may have been endangering themselves
Agreed
that doesn't mean she could deliberately ignore them and act however she pleased.
Again it depends. I'm not arguing for carte-blanche here.
Some kids got hit near where I live a little while back by some asshole BMW driver that was beyond speed limit and failed to stop even after hitting them when they were crossing a road horizontally. That is a bad attitude and a danger on the roads, and I feel sorry for them. They didn't flip the driver off, they were'nt being rude, attempting to intimidate, and the two young adults that hit them should rot.
Other kids near where I live have been known to cycle up roads, in the road, and throw bricks at cars.
It really depends and I think should be an individual call, but I've told my wife that I feel if she is ever in danger, to run problem people over. I would absolutely feel she was at least partially to blame if she did not do all that she could to defend herself including harming others regardless of the outcome.
When one of my cousins was 14 I saw him at my grandparents house. His foot had been run over. I was so mad at the driver. About an hour passes and I'm still pissed-off. Then he says "I don't even know what they were doing on the inside of a roundabout?" On a 50mph road. I told him flat out I no longer had any sympathy for him, and thought the driver should lawsuit him for damage to their car. This is the type of problem we are dealing with. Do you really want your kids breeding with idiots like that? He went on to lose his apprenticeship at 18 for drilling through a live water main...
Sounds harsh maybe, but I think people like that (would walk vertically up a road, in the road), are a drain on the species.
I think driving a car should be a far greater privilege than it is today. We should have computers recording all movement and velocity on every car so we automatically know about people who speed - specially in places with loads of children - , people who speed up instead of slowing down when they see a pedestrian crossing the street, people who drive like maniacs, just record all of that stuff in a central computer and automatically take away the licenses of people who consistently drive irresponsibly. Thirty thousand people die every year in car crashes and a fair percentage of those is due to people who were driving like idiots. Fortunately, driver-less vehicles are around the corner.
Even better, we can just plug everyone into a computer at birth and completely remove free will all together! I agree it should be a privilege but some people being bad drivers is not an excuse for Mass spying
No need to remove free will. You have free will to choose to drive stupidly, the machine registers this and automatically removes your ability to continue driving stupidly. No need for thousands to die pointlessly. We put very stringent demands on pilots of planes, yet planes are much safer than cars, we take extreme measures to prevent terrorism, yet far less people die from terrorist attacks - the only reason we tolerate 30,000 dead is because we have become acclimatised to this yearly toll. It didn't use to be like it - when people started getting killed by idiots driving like idiots, people were outraged and mobilized against this - but the car industry fought back with a huge amount of money by criminalising pedestrians and normalising those deaths as the price of progress. Your spirited defence of a system of organising ourselves which at the moment is the leading, and in too many pointless, cause of death for anyone under 45 is the result of those efforts.
Lmao you're all for it until Everytime you creep over the speed limit you get mailed a ticket, oh what's that? You've don't that x amount of times? Can't drive anymore. That's a horrible system. Just bc something is dangerous doesn't mean the government should get control of it. And for that matter, who controls this machine? I don't care enough to argue about this anymore though bc you're idea will never even have a chance of fruition so long as people can vote.
I don't care enough to argue about this anymore though bc you're idea will never even have a chance of fruition so long as people can vote.
Not at all - if it's just creeping over the speed limit then the computer would know exactly that that's all it was. The problem is idiots who speed to 60 in 25 mph zones - why should we wait for them to kill someone? Or wait for a camera to catch them? Of course the system would work the way it does now, the punishment would be proportional - if you just creep over the speed limit it would only be a warning. If you are driving at dangerous speeds in residential area it would be revoked. This is actually the system we have in place, it's just badly enforced. And to be honest, with the use of sat navs and mobile phones this information is already pretty much being stored anyhow, I wouldn't be surprised if we see more and more of it used in courts.
That's a horrible system. Just bc something is dangerous doesn't mean the government should get control of it.
Yet most things that are dangerous the government regulates. For some reason. I mean, try to buy some radioactive material or secure a missile in the black market, see how it goes. Try to use specialist heavy machinery or fly a plane without a license, see what happens. We have stringent rules for all of this, except for the largest cause of death for young people in the country - for that we don't care too much about what kind of irresponsible moron is behind the wheel and think 30,000 deaths a year is a price worth paying.
I don't care enough to argue about this anymore though bc you're idea will never even have a chance of fruition so long as people can vote.
*Your idea, not you are idea.
And no. But driver-less cars fortunately are very near, it's very likely that the next generation won't tolerate idiot drivers once the tens of thousands of lives are saved every year and getting driving licenses will become extremely difficult, if not phased out altogether.
Where I grew up, you had to yield to anyone under 16 regardless of the situation. Kid runs out from between cars into the street? Better pray your reflexes are good. Theory is that anyone under the driving age isn't presumed to know the rules of the road.
This sounds like a misconception. Maybe it's not illegal for the kid to do it because they don't understand, but the way you worded it you would be allowed to run over someone over driving age because they should know better. Unless you are in a really oddly run country.
You would not be allowed to run over someone of driving age, since most rules of the road explicitly state that everyone has a duty to avoid a collision. It would just mean a pedestrian of age also has a duty to follow the rules of the road/right of way.
Yeah I find it hard to believe that any state would have a law allowing people to be charged for jaywalking in a neighborhood

It's a culdesac and most places have culdesac as completely able for kids to play in the street. Street basketball and shit like that happen all the time, I don't think they'd even be hit for jaywalking. It's a residential culdesac not a travel roadway.

You dislike mocking of conservatives and you think the politics subreddits are an echo chamber. Yeah, I'm making some assumptions about you, but I'm willing to bet I'm not wrong.
While I don't agree with it, last I checked some states require 2 party consent for audio recording.
This happened to me in Illinois several years ago, some dude was threatening my friends and I and followed us home we recorded it and called the police. When I told the police I had it on video he said if I wanted to use it as evidence he would have to charge me with wiretapping. We looked it up after and IL required 2 party consent (I'm pretty sure this has changed already in IL).
But if this state required 2 party consent just remove the audio and it looks even better for this kid. Basically you have a middle aged woman assaulting a teenager repeatedly and then trying to hit him with her car at least 2 times.
You can absolutely release the audio in court if the conversation is public and neither party has reason to believe the conversation is "confidential" (capable of being eavesdropped on by other individuals). If you're both in a public place and nobody else is around, that's legally private. If people are around (such as the friends), then it's public. He can release this without issue.
The part I don't understand is that her license plate has been made public when it's a means of identification. This could potentially lead to unwarranted abuse her way. Is it legal in America to post that stuff. I didn't even think reddit would allow it

Yes. As far as I know, there's really no law against posting somebody's personally-identifiable information. Doxxing is almost always something handled between private individuals (i.e. a person and a moderator of the website hosting the info). Some jurisdictions might have anti-cyber-bullying laws, but who the hell knows what those cover.
I didn't even think reddit would allow it
Oh, this is about 100% against this subreddit's sidebar rule #9 (no videos of assault) and about 99% against sidebar rule #2/Reddit's sitewide rule #3 (no personal info). Even if most people don't have access to license plate lookups for Florida, that's definitely personal information, and it's called to the viewer's attention that it's being captured for the purposes of identifying the woman.
Of course, doxxing is one of those things that people only think of as wrong when it's done against somebody they like, so I doubt it'll get taken down on those grounds.
You sure about that? I know a kid that got in trouble for accidental trespassing, and when the cops were called he wanted to record what happened but didn't tell the cops so he's being charged for it.
Hope he has a good lawyer because you can record whatever you want in public, as has been confirmed time and time again. You have no expectation of privacy in public. States and municipalities have done everything they can to obfuscate this point.

I imagine if you're being arrested for trespassing, we can assume that space isn't public.
I know a lot of people are continuing to get upset over recordings in places where we haven't normally made recordings. But I think when it comes to our public servants--and make no fucking mistake about it, the police are our servants--we need to allow people to create a foundation to protect themselves against injustice in law enforcement.
Well, if someone touches my family they have no reasonable expectation for me not to fuck them up. However, if I punch them in the face, that's still illegal.

You can talk about our laws. That's fine. Just learn what they are, first.
I mean, unless talking about our laws is illegal in your country. Then you probably shouldn't.
I had an incident in Florida that I surreptitiously recorded, then was told by my attorney friend that Florida is 2-party consent and in actuality if I went public with the recording I could be sued. He provided a then-recent case supporting this info, but that was 2 years ago and I don't remember it now.
I had an incident in Florida that I surreptitiously recorded, then was told by my attorney friend that Florida is 2-party consent and in actuality if I went public with the recording I could be sued.
Depends on where the incident took place and who was around
Florida's wiretapping law is a "two-party consent" law. Florida makes it a crime to intercept or record a "wire, oral, or electronic communication" in Florida, unless all parties to the communication consent. See Fla. Stat. ch. 934.03. Florida law makes an exception for in-person communications when the parties do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the conversation, such as when they are engaged in conversation in a public place where they might reasonably be overheard. If you are operating in Florida, you may record these kinds of in-person conversations without breaking the law. However, you should always get the consent of all parties before recording any telephone conversation and any in-person that common sense tells you is private.

When I told the police I had it on video he said if I wanted to use it as evidence he would have to charge me with wiretapping. We looked it up after and IL required 2 party consent (I'm pretty sure this has changed already in IL).
2014 Supreme Court of Illinois; People v. Melongo
In People v. Melongo, Docket No. 114852 (Ill. Mar. 20, 2014), the Supreme Court of Illinois held that Illinois' two-party eavesdropping statute, 720 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5/14-1, -2 (scroll down), was unconstitutional on its face. The statute made it a crime to use an "eavesdropping device" to overhear or record a phone call or conversation without the consent of all parties to the conversation, regardless of whether the parties had an expectation of privacy. The Court held that the recording provisions of the statute, as written, adversely affected the First Amendment rights of people making recordings in a substantial number of circumstances where there were no legitimate privacy interests. The Court further held that a provision of the statute prohibiting the disclosure of recordings likewise ran afoul of the First Amendment.
That cop was wrong and doesn't know the legal elements for wire tapping. That's why cops write tickets and the prosecutors decide what to actually charge people with.
A. Wiki is not legal authority and B. It was been held unconstitutional to use the statue in that way.
As a criminal defense attorney I can guarantee the evidence would have been admissible (as long as it overcame and relevance and hearsay issues) and not deemed criminal.
It was been held unconstitutional to use the statue in that way.
In 2014... and the guy said that his incident had happened several years ago, other answers provided the context that it was prior to the ruling by the IL supreme court in People v. Melongo.
If you are in a public place there is no expectation of privacy; wiretapping laws do not apply. Police often get this wrong, because dirty cops don't want to be recorded on duty. Should have talked to a lawyer.
The big issue here with the recordings is whether or not the recording occurs in a place where the people being recorded have an expectation of privacy. So even where states have two-party consent recording requirements, like California, will nonetheless have caveats where you are allowed to record in public with or without other people's consent.
Well the reason that for example in Google Maps the license plates and faces are blurred out is so that you can't see who the person is that is parked in front of/walking into the brothel, sex shop, ...
Well this is only one extreme example where you wouldn't want a picture taken. (e.g. you are seen before are mosque and some crazy guy will try to 'dox' you) There are lots of other cases. so it makes sense to have it be a general law.
Recording isn't, but publishing can sometimes be a legal issue.
Edit: there are different state/country laws, as a non US citizen I don't exactly know it there but there are laws, commerical reasons or not, that protect certain rights. Here in the Netherlands we have 'portretrecht' which is also usually not a issue in public area's but just to make a point be careful in thinking you can film and publish anything you want, even though it is mostly 100% legal.
Yea I remember hearing something about Cali about needing permission to record somebody

The link you posted has no relevancy to this video, only to phone calls or audio where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy.
There is no reasonable expectation of privacy in the middle of the road. You can record whatever the fuck you want in public places and publish it all you want
Not in the US if the recording happens in a place with no reasonable expectation of privacy. Posting a video taken inside someone else's home without their permission, illegal. Posting a video taken outside on the street, legal.
Well, the thought is that you're recording people's lives without their consent, in this situation though, the kid is right and should record this. That lady was bananas.

Everything he's doing is fucked up. It may be legal but its still weird and creepy as fuck.
this is incorrect. it varies from state to state, but many (if not most) states require a "reasonable expectation of privacy" for it to be illegal. if you're walking down the street, you dont have an expectation of privacy. if you're on your property, you do. many TV shows blur by default just to be safe.
have seen this US TV show called Impractical Jokers.. they usually film on the streets.. they appear to abide by one rule that is if the person coming in the frame is less 18, then it needs to be blurred..
Aye the scientology one was definitely in harassment territory, though being who they are I'm happy to let that slide.
Aside from that though I don't think I'd agree. Uncomfortable for most people? Sure. Weird? Yep. Harassment is a strong term though. Which ones in particular?

It's hard to judge distances, but to me, entering someone's personal space and recording them is harassing/alarming/distressing, which would be an offence where I'm from.
Following someone/moving towards them when they have told you not to and/or have made attempt to walk away would also be H/A/D to me.
Standing outside the personal space and not moving, or maintaining a safe distance from someone approaching you is annoying and a bit dickish but lawful.
33 min-ish, the yellow bridge. That to me is creepy to the point that it could cause a reasonable person to feel intimidated. (27 mins) Dry cleaner one was a bit iffy. (28 min) guy with the chair. (35 mins) retired GI Joe. And of course the people playing dominoes.
What? Where are you from? If you brush by someone on the street is that an offense? Surely not. What if you do it with a gopro on your head? Is it an offense then?
I've never heard of somewhere where being mildly annoying to a stranger is literally criminal.
Someone making you feel intimidated isn't a crime by the way. Those darn hooded youths would all be in lockup if that was the case. Nor is something being "a bit iffy". The dominoes one may well have been trespassing.
I don't think this guy is some hero, or that it's all entirely reasonable, but there are people responding to this such as yourself implying it's criminal activity / the rudest thing ever and I'm playing a bit of devils advocate here. A fair amount of it is pretty borderline, but it's a good video and raises interesting discussion.

No, but that's not what the guy was doing in the video.
I've never heard of somewhere where being mildly annoying to a stranger is literally criminal.
You don't think someone coming up to you in public and sticking a camera in your face whilst remaining silent despite your questions isn't at all intimidating?
Someone making you feel intimidated isn't a crime by the way.
In most places it absolutely is.

I said some of it was bordering on, as in approaching, not at criminality. Whilst it's not the ruddest thing ever, intentionally invading someone's personal space is extremely rude and a hostile act in the UK.
but it's a good video and raises interesting discussion.
I agree, it's clear he's trying to imply that people have no issue with CCTV watching them but if a guy with a camera does it then it's 'creepy'.
I'm just across the way here in Ireland. We share a similar enough culture regarding these things and our laws tend to be near identical, so I'm wondering what it is you're referring to when you said
harassing/alarming/distressing, which would be an offence where I'm from
Because simply being in someones personal space, even if you are being weird, is absolutely not a crime here. Being physically or verbally threatening is. There is nothing inherent in the act of recording somebody to suggest malice, or make someone fear for their safety. That is an irrational response (mostly, I'll get on to that.)
There are a few reasons people don't like this being done to them.
There is a weirdo. That in and of its self isn't really an issue. Weirdos are absolutely everywhere. The issue with there being a weirdo is only that their attention is directed towards you. If the guy was filming someone else you probably wouldn't give a shit. A quick "lol weirdo" and you're on your way. However, with how willing people are to confront him (women included) I think it's fairly safe to say they don't fear him in a physical sense.
Your actions and words become part of a record. This is the main issue at play here, and the one that spurrs good conversation. It raises the whole (terrible) argument of "if you don't have anything to hide you have nothing to fear" and so on. Why do they care? Well, some people just do. (In response to what you asked, no, I do not care in the slightest. I do not find it intimidating. Not because I have nothing to hide, but because I just don't care.)
Vanity. People like to control their image, and they can't control it if some guy just strolls around filming them on an average-no-effort day. This sort of ties in with 2., in that over all it has to do with potential damage to social standing and so on, but really I don't care about the vanity side of things at all and am not willing to discuss it beyond accepting it's a real issue for some.
Anyway, yeah. Regarding point number 2, the only legitimate argument I can think of on behalf of all of the subjects here is that the footage of a company's cctv is handled by reasonably known and guessable set of protocols, but you've no idea what the random filming guy's footage will be used for. Because of that his comparison isn't legitimate, but that doesn't mean the experiment as a whole is without value.

Ultimately comes down to whether a reasonable person would be distressed by someone sneaking up and sticking a camera in their face and remaining completely silent when questioned.
I say a reasonable person would be, you say they wouldn't.
Oddly, I take the people's reactions in the video of proof that they are alarmed.
Ultimately you won't answer the question I've asked twice, and are now just being a bit sarcastic and spouting hyperbole. If you've no interest in talking that's fine but don't get lazy and send me tripe like that.
(Side note: I don't think most / any of these people have been confronted by this issue before and are reacting with their gut. Given an outside perspective and time to digest it, like you and I have, they may not be so "alarmed" as you put it. It's unfair to judge it at such face value.)
How2999 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:32:06 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
There is only one question in your previous comment and it was clearly rhetorical... Where have I used hyperbole?
It's not unfair to judge it at face value, an offence occurs at the time. It's irrelevant if with hindsight the victim believes their emotional response would not be the same next time.
When the whole clown scaring shit was going on, the fact the victim learned it was a 'prank' and never in harms way does not change the fact they had been assaulted.
I think you're applying characteristics on to a reasonable person which don't belong there.
so I'm wondering what it is you're referring to when you said
harassing/alarming/distressing, which would be an offence where I'm from
My question above stands.
Where have I used hyperbole?
Here:
sneaking up and sticking a camera in their face and remaining completely silent when questioned.
In almost every case he very plainly walked over and stood there, obviously. Just because you're not instantly noticed does not mean you are sneaking.
He pretty much never sticks the camera in anyone's face. Sitting across the table from someone is about as close as it gets. I may be mistaken (and I'm not going to watch it all again) but even if it does occur it's rare. When people go to push his camera away they have to move towards him and extend their arm.
He talks in a very large portion of the clips. Thus, three counts of hyperbole.
It's not unfair to judge it at face value, an offence occurs at the time. It's irrelevant if with hindsight the victim believes their emotional response would not be the same next time.
I'm not following your logic here, if there is any. The main issue of contention is point two above, in which we toss about a discussion of what it means to be recorded. Considering essentially nobody in the video is capable (at the time) of verbalising a cohearent argument with the guy we can inferr this isn't a situation they've given much thought to. Due to that we can't judge how they feel about the issue in a real and rational sense; because all we're left with is the gut-reactions. Allowing other people's gut reactions to taint the discussion from our current perspective isn't useful and lends little-to-no value.
When the whole clown scaring shit was going on
I had to google the clown thing. It is absolutely unrelated in every way. That was masked people being physically and verbally threatening, which is literally assault. We're talking about a not entirely unpleasant guy in what we can presume is normal clothing, with a nice camera, calmly standing around and responding to questions in a relaxed manner. Any relation between the two is entirely fictional and of your own creation.
I think you're applying characteristics on to a reasonable person which don't belong there.
What characteristics, and who's the reasonable person, and what belongs where? I've no idea what you're saying.
Well, for a start he's not physically touching people, and he's also not pretending to be with the news. If questioned he just says he's taking a video, which is exactly what he's doing. Now and then points out that surveillance is practically omnipresent. Overall it's much more fly on the wall (and he was also the first one to popularise this sort of thing.)
Rude? That's up to the person who's being filmed to decide. Some people take it quite well and whilst they consider it weird they don't seem to think it overtly rude. Some people react awfully. It's not really up to you to decide if it's rude on their behalf even if you consider it rude yourself.
It would be reasonable to say that many people find it rude and disruptive, but a blanket statement isn't useful here.

This is precisely why it's rude to do it at all. It's not about deciding on behalf of the individual, it's about the common courtesy of not doing something that is understood to make many people uncomfortable. And disrupting an entire classroom is patently rude.
I'm not necessarily arguing that he shouldn't have made this video. I get its purpose and why you prefer to the other guy's videos. But I take issue with calling him "where it's at" simply because if I ran into this dude he would annoy the shit out of me.
right, surveillance is omnipresent. but i believe it's totally different to be filmed for security purposes vs being filmed for some strangers own personal benefit.
I didn't even look at the time length on that video...almost 1 hour just recording people.

It was quite cringy. I just jumped around a bit and just going up to people and standing there, filming them.. just... why? You proved your point by doing it once. Makes me think this guy has some weird fetish for this or if he has some kind of social disorder.
No, fuck all the people that do this. They're assholes.
Recording in public when there's a valid reason is one thing, but invading people's personal space to get a rise out of them should be considered harassment.
He was arguably several meters outside of many of these people's personal spaces and that didn't stop them acting any differently to the people he was closer to. Quite a few of these people were inside buildings, and came out to him. What about all of them?
But at what point is this guy harassing those people? Yeah he can record them. And yeah security cameras record people all the time. But since when do security cameras run their perverse likely-future-serial-killer fingers down people's faces?
This guy would have gotten knocked out if he did this to me and touched me after I explicitly told him to leave.
Define "release it." If someone in another country films a fun event at a concert or whatever and strangers are invariably in the shot, they can't share it online?

The legal standard is about a reasonable expectation of privacy. In public, you don't really have one.
[deleted] ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 15:33:05 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I think because of the social nature of it. It is very much frowned upon to film others when they dont want to be. I think we also have a very poor understanding of public life and what our rights are and aren't.
It goes way back to the days of like the 80s where at one point you had to have consent to take a photo of someone etc. not sure when the law was passed that you can record anything but it wasn't always like that

Well technically in some states it's illegal to audio record someone without their consent. Usually not enforced all that often though.
I mean....I personally don't want my photo taken. Regardless of where I am. I don't do illegal shit. I'm just uncomfortable because I'm insecure of how I look. lol but I guess it's sorta cool being in the background of some ones memories ๐
Because they remember common decency. This kid might be right and he might be polite but there is such a thing as understanding how and when you're the one completely escalating the situation anyway.
Just because you're allowed to do something doesn't mean it's a good idea. Dude could have just slipped his phone in his pocket and walked away but people love to escalate when they feel they're in the right.
Take away someone's reason to be angry and you're done a lot quicker than when you stand there and antagonize them just because you can.
I think what he meant is that some jurisdictions don't give a damn about expectation of privacy in relation to consent

If you upload an image/video of someone here in germany without his/her permission, it is indeed illegal and he/she can sue you. Especially if the image/video hurts this persons image.
because people think that it infringes on their right to privacy. The issue is that it wouldn't apply in a public place because you have no expectation of privacy.
Pair that with it being illegal to use people's likeness without their permission, it can easily become confusing for laypeople as to what the law actually is.

I don't know how it works in the states but don't some places have a two party consent law for filming someone?
Authoritarianism. Some people sincerely believe that there is nothing more to the law than enforcing a strict social hierarchy, with adults above kids, all other things being equal (i.e. assuming no difference in race or family connections) and that the police exist solely to enforce this social hierarchy, with the law being a faรงade.
I think it's some weird misconception with appearances in media. People know their image/likeness cannot be recorded with the intent to sell products/be used in many types of media without permission.
I think this mentality spills over to any sort of recording without permission.
In short, People know weird fragments of laws regarding public recording without really knowing how they are applied.
Probably because of you try recording a cop in public he'll tell you it's illegal and to stop.

In some states such as California you need permission from he person your recording but in general it's not
There are a lot of filming laws and some require both parties to agree to the filming and some laws are open filming. Another law is that you can film if you believe a crime is going to be commuted such as this case.

Because a lot of police officers lie and say it is when they are being recorded.
I think it is in certain places right? Don't you have to get people to sign a release or get video/audio recording of them giving permission in California? Or is that only if you publish it online?
I don't know if it's because I'm Canadian or in my thirties but when the fuck did it not become normal and acceptable for kids to play on the street in a residential neighborhood?...
I remember playing hockey on the street (Wayne's World style), Ghost in the GraveYard, Hide and Seek, Cops and Robbers... Like seriously, when the fuck did kids stop being allowed to be kids?
Fellow former cul-de-sac-er here. Playing baseball there was the shit, or riding my bike in circles endlessly really fast when I was wasn't old enough to leave the street on my own yet. Ah, youth.
I definitely agree. I grew up on a cul-de-sac and it was awesome! However my neighborhood has since become a training area for drivers ed school because of the way the residential neighborhood is designed. Now there is so much traffic from perfect strangers driving in to the cup-de-sac that the kids can't even play.
This is what bothered me the whole time.
They are playing in a cul de sac.
Is this bitch trying to get her weekly stress relieving donut session in, and that's why she's so mad?
You shouldn't need to be going more that 5-10 mph in a cul de sac, anyways.

I was a teenager boy and lived in a Cul de Sac. The kids know everyone and their regular visitors. Maybe not by name but by your goofy look. Also they're a bunch of dicks. Harassing a gang of kids that age almost definitely makes you top target for ding and dash, over turned garbage cans, a roof littered with frisbees and old toys, and any other annoyance they find irks you the wrong way. None of it illegal so calling the cops only ends up with the cops hating you because you're why they have to go scold a bunch of teenagers everyday instead of actual work or no work at all depending on county.
Right like not on a main road or a off road that is connected to a major road. A cul de sac lol.. the like ultimate suburban area for kids to do kid things like ride their hoverboard or bike.. etc. She is right though and tottalllyyy handled that situation correctly

That's like the whole point of culdesacs. Decrease through traffic so kids can use the street for activities.
Right? All 12 families that live there know when they turn onto their street, someone will yell "CAR!" Everyone will move out of the way for them to park, and then the general mayhem will continue. It's what being a kid is all about!
Agreed. I spent most of my childhood playing in front of the neighbors house 1 block away from my own home. We went there because it was a cul-de-sac and there's no traffic. CAR.... GAME ON!
It looked like a cul de sac to me also. For Christ's sake families often buy houses on a cul de sac or dead end street because the lack of traffic makes it safer for kids to play.
I live in Florida and spent all of my childhood riding bikes and skateboards in the street in front of my house. My students do the same now. This lady is just pissed off at life and looking for someone to take it out on.

"You made me have to slow down and watch for you to not dash in front my car. Just who the fuck do you think you are?!"
It started when the 24 hour news cycle convinced parents that there was a pedophile behind every tree just waiting to abduct their child. So, sometime in the 90s.
Yup, I'm 28 and by 8 years old my mother sat me down and told me all about the rapists out there and told me about what to do if some horrible man or woman tried to do things to me. Then she decided that I needed to learn about (with pictures) every STI, and that I needed to understand the term "fudge packing" for some reason.
She didn't let me cross the street without an adult until we moved in with my aunt in the middle of nowhere Montana when I was 13 and my aunt asked me to walk across the street to grab her mail. My aunt literally didn't believe me when I said I wasn't allowed and had to ask my mom.
My mom figured that kids playing outside could only lead to: 1 - kids not paying attention to where every friend is resulting in me getting snatched, or 2 - we were gathering together solely for drugs or to think up a crime we could commit together. Then she wondered why it took so long for me to make friends and get out of the house..
Fuck the 24 hour news cycle. Makes man hate their fellow man.
Okay and I'm 26, when I was 7 a man called me over to his car and told me my mom sent him to pick me up from the bus stop. He had his full erect penis in his hand and that is my first time seeing a penis.
I feel like its not a bad thing to tell your kids about the actual realities of the world. Had my mom not had that conversation with me, I might have gotten into that car thinking my mom really sent him to come get me. Instead I ran to the fire station (closer than my house) and told an adult I can trust.
Youe mom did take it too far, but I'm not going to pretend kids don't really get snatched off the street when nobody is paying attention because it literally could have happened to me.
[deleted] ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 20:12:38 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I think in your case your mom just had issues dude. I wouldn't blame the news.
Uhhh, I was born in 98 and I played in the street growing up constantly and literally never got any complaints. (maybe one or two that I don't remember). Most people don't care, this lady is just a dumbass.
Ditto, '97 here and as long as no stray airsoft pellets hit "civilians" or cars we were good to go. Though that was in Alabama and the whole state is a couple decades behind in both good and bad ways.
Growing up in the 90's it wasn't strange to wander about town as a kid, and kids did it constantly on their own, even in a decent sized, sketchy city like mine. Now, you just don't see it. And if you do, most people half freak out about a lack of parents. It's a shame.
Idk about that, I used to play in the streets of my neighborhood all the time whether it be on foot, bikes, skates, etc and I never got shit for it from anyone and that was all the way up until middle school basically and I was born in '95. Lived in IL, AZ and GA too so don't think it's a regional thing either. I think things probably changed some time during the late 2000's but I mean this is all just anecdotal so who knows.

I think the real change is that far too many adults nowadays are entitled crybabies that can't handle minor inconveniences in their life.
Since kids are often a cause of minor inconveniences they're often the target for the anger of immature adults. Adults, I might add, who grew up in a world where kids weren't expected to act like miniature adults all the time and were free to play and roam and act like kids.
I think the real change is that far too many adults nowadays are entitled crybabies that can't handle minor inconveniences in their life.

I live in a suburb in the US, kids playing in the streets is still rather common. It can be annoying but it is better than living in an area where parents have deemed it not safe for their kids to play outside
It's perfectly acceptable. This lady is just dumb. First of all, she DOES have to yield to them, and second of all, it's not like kids stay in the street and don't get out of the way when there's a car coming, at most you'll have to slow down for a few seconds, big deal. I genuinely don't know why she was so upset about this.
It still is. She's just a lunatic who got startled because she probably wasn't paying attention, and decided to pretend they had personally affronted her, rather than just give a wave and maybe even an apology if she had gotten too close before they could move.
Around 2002. That's when the cable networks started with the "Its 10 o'clock...do you know where your children are?" broadcasts. That was, like, the transition when suddenly kids doing anything by themselves became dangerous.
Not sure if you're joking, but those were around way before 2002. They started in the 1960's. It was a PSA meant to remind parents of a new curfew in effect because of recent riots.
They must've been on hiatus for a while then. I honestly don't remember them before around the 2000s, but they still show them now. But, yeah, not joking
WTF are these? I haven't lived in the States since about that time so I believe you on when, but could you explain a bit about what there are and why they started ?

Canadian here, played on the streets most of my childhood.
And this same woman probably posts shit on her Facebook like, "Anyone else remember when we were kids? Didn't have no goddamn vidya games! We'd play out in the street like real people!"
Anyway... I love what the kids said at the end. People these days! Exactly.
I think kids are still allowed to be kids. We just didn't have the tools necessary to record things like this and the widespread use of the internet for exposure. Let's face it, assholes have always existed and will continue to thrive.
I grew up in Toronto in the 80s-90s; the Scarborough Rapist/Paul Bernardo era. That seemed to me to be the turning point. Kristen French was grabbed in broad daylight. It put the fear into a lot of parents.
I've spent a few summers in Glasgow and was amazed that little kids - as young as 4 or 5 - regularly roam the streets there in little packs. They haven't had the same fear drilled into them as we did, I suppose.
That's why in Germany we can designate residential areas with a lot of kids as "Spielstraรen" (play streets), with own signs and all. There, you have to drive extra slowly and are hopefully aware that there may be children playing. Of course, you also have to yield to playing children everywhere else, but it gives an extra level of security to children playing in these Spielstraรen.

Yeah it's really sad. I wonder what effect growing up without playing outdoors with other neighborhood kids will have on the new generation. maybe nothing? maybe positive? I just can't imagine not having grown up this way.
Yeah, I wonder this as well. I'm curious if their social abilities will be hindered or if they just evolve with the times and everyone kinda evolves with them...
Well yeah, but the 30's were a much different time. You could push a hoop down the road with a stick or kick a can all day long without fear of an old jalopy running you down.
Canadian living the USA now here. We live in a nice, quiet neighbourhood, on a cul-de-sac, within a few houses of an elementary school. Idyllic really. The perfect street for children to grow up on.
My neighbours have literally called the police on my children (9 and 7) for riding their bikes on the street without my wife or I being present. Boggled my mind. The police were cool, mostly embarrassed they had to check it out, and completely fine with what was going on. It's a real "phenomenon" here -- that the world isn't safe, kids shouldn't be anywhere but backyards.
We figured we'll just TP everyone's house at hallowe'en to get them back -- we're equally opportunity TP'ers, eh.
I'm in my twenties, American. I really don't like kids playing in the street. They don't look where they're going, my neighbors go way too fast to make it safe, and the younger ones like to dart in front of cars and laugh about it when you slam on your breaks. They leave their bikes in the middle of our street (no joke, it was evenly placed on the divide), balls scattered everywhere, and god forbid you tell little Timonthy to please keep his bike out of the road.
We have tons of yard space on each property and a park next door, so it's not like it's the street or nowhere.
This is a total flashback to my childhood. I had a lady scream at me and threaten to call the police when me and my friends were standing and talking on a street corner sidewalk. She kept driving around the neighborhood and swinging back to scream at us for still standing there. Kansas suburbs.
It's like people now see kids in public and think it's just a huge annoyance. I don't understand why some people think it's okay to go yell at a stranger's kid to grow up. Thats not how adults act, that's how sad/miserable people act.
There's even signs around saying "slow, kids at play". I grew up in a residential area (2000s) and we played in the street all the time and it was pretty accepted.
Rules were simple. Just play and keep an eye out for cars. When one comes by someone shouts "car!" And we clear the street to let them pass. No problem really so long as the kids aren't being dickheads and the driver isn't speeding or distracted.
I grew up playing in the street, those same games, but when a car came, we understood to give way. The game went on pause and we let the car pass before resuming.
Especially in hockey there is an unspoken code between the players and the driver. The driver sees the players, and stops. The players see the car and yell, "CAR!", move the nets, step to the side, and the car passes. The nets are replaced and some one yells, "Game on!" and all is good in the world.
We obviously don't know what actually started this, but it sounded like the kids were not moving out of the road, and respecting that code.
They're in a cul-de-sac too. cul-de-sac I grew up on was a basketball court, bicycle proving ground, skate park, roller hockey rink, wiffle ball diamond, tennis court, fireworks display zone, rendezvous point for all briefings and rule setting before we played Guns.. it was our area to do what we wanted. Sure when a car came up the court we'd suspend activity and move, but if you didn't live on our court and you kept driving up and down the court in the middle of us jumping our bikes off the curb we'd eventually ask you if you were lost or something. Basically "get the fuck off our court, we're busy here".
Live in Washington and can confirm kids still play in the street here. It's actually part of why I move my kid here, part of being a kid is having to stop hockey games so cars can pass.
I remember once when I was visiting my cousins in canada playing street hockey when a passing suv dropped off 4 random kids from hockey practice to play with us and the driver bought us all sodas. Apparently that's normal.
Right. Im in florida and the kids call my street ramp road because of the uneven sidewalks. I appreciate the kids are out there entertaining themselves and more importantly, enjoying their childhood. Game on!

Growing up in the mid-80's in a city with a high crime rate. My parents wouldn't allow us to be anywhere near a park or recreational center, because that is where the gangs and drug dealers do all their deals and recruiting. So, my siblings and I would play on the streets where my parents can keep an eye on us at all times.
Yes, we almost get hit by cars on the daily. But my mom would rather have us get run over by a car than be affiliate in a gang.
it has always been and still is acceptable. The lady just appears to be having a bad day. That and had the unfortunate experience to deal with a kid who was beautifully mature, and got the crazy on film.
As a kid one day playing street hockey with my friends one of the ladies from my neighborhood drove by and started bitching us out for playing in the street and how she was going to call my parents and the police and get us removed from the street so i quickly went and got my dad and oh lord, i dont think ive ever seen my dad go in so hard on cursing someone out before. Ive never felt more like the world was on my side

I'm a Canadian and I don't understand why it's acceptable. Roads are built for transportation. There are parks and playgrounds for kids. Some kids near me routinely play basketball and hockey in the street 40 ft away from a paved and fenced playground. Makes no sense.
Maybe it's because I grew up on a road with an 80 kph limit and my parents taught us to stay out of the way of cars if we want to live.
Of course now all the people that moved into that area with new children petitioned the city to lower the limit because they seem to have a hard time teaching their kids to stay out of the way of cars.
I'm 32 and live in a neighborhood where there are usually kids running around in the street during the summer. When that happens I calmly stop and wait for them to notice a car needs to pass. Eventually they clear the way and I slowly drive through. It literally adds no more then 90 seconds to my drive. There are more important things in life to get THAT pissed about.

Around the same time "free range parenting" became a thing.
I played in the street all the time. Had friends further down in the neighborhood that I'd go meet and we would play in the street. Never died, obviously.
It's because when we were kids the people on the roads didn't have cell phones and all kinds of shit to distract them. I think we just stopped trusting each other.
I live on a street that looks like a dog bone (cul de sacs on both ends) with the entrance to the street right in the middle of the cul de sacs so that should be super safe right? We still don't let our kids play outside of the yard just because you never know when someone's going to glance down or away at the wrong time.
When an idiot gets caught blowing through a residential neighborhood doing 45, barely misses tagging a kid, then thinks its the kid's fault that they don't know the fucking speed limit.
I live in an apartment complex with a lot of kids running around during the summer, and we've had the same douchebag nearly hit a few kids four or five times this year.
I was a kid in the early 2000s. We were told stay off the roads but they were semibusy and we had sidewalks and frontyards. I'm guessing theres not as much traffic in most of Canada and people are more lax, cause there is gangs and child molesters. I was almost molested a few times by creepers in the neighborhood. Glad I grew out of it and became unappealing.

Yeah, I'm in Canada too. My neighborhood has like 4 different kids with hover boards and they're in the roads all the time. I just give them a nice wave when they move to the side for me to drive by. It's not a big deal.
I understand where this comes from but can you seriously say many? Have you done a study across the world or America to find out if kids really are little assholes now or if it's just the way we are preceiving them. Maybe it's because of where I live but kids still move out of the way of cars here. I've never once seen kids be little shits as you describe. Fuck even in this video the kid appologizes to her and she's the one who goes off. If we have issues with kids now a days, it's because they're not being taught their fucking manners and that's on the parents.
The woman was wrong, I'm not arguing that. However, we dont know what happened before the camera came out to prompt this reaction. Furthermore, I said "many" kids. Not, "all", not even "most". Just "many". A hundred could be perceived as "many". Your argument would sound more intelligent without all the eff bombs. Now go get your fucking shine-box.
Agreed, but it is also a curteousy to move out of the way when the cars approach. When I was growing up, that meant stopping street hockey or whatever we were playing to move the equipment and allow the driver to pass. I have a feeling this kids were "hoverboarding" in the road with no courtesy for drivers. There are loads of kids like that.
Considering her actions afterwards I'm more inclined to believe the kids did nothing too bad. Or possibly hit a ball into her car. Either way nothing I can imagine could deserve the responses that kid got

In the UK there are a lot of places where the roads only serve the houses (no through routes) and many of them have signs specifically stating that kids can play in the road and to drive with extra caution.
Exactly. I remember we chalked up the whole ducking street with maps and shit. Played some really silly game called land....
any one ever play it? I hardly remember the rules and thinking back it really does sound ridiculous.
Nope, never heard of it. Though we also played some weird ass games too. Some of my fondest memories are playing ghost in the GraveYard up and down the street at 11pm while our parents all drink on the porch.
I'm not siding with the lady here because I think they are both idiots, but you are comparing childhood to a group of 14 year olds. There is a big difference. No one minds innocent fun in the streets, but how many games of cops and robbers were you playing at 14?
I get that, but 14 years old is prime age for being a piece of shit. Friendly games of street sports with respect to drivers is nothing to fret about. This entire thread is comparing 14 year olds to their 9 year old selves.
It's genetic where the fat is stored probably. She is obviously an apple shape (big boobs, stomach, but no ass or hips). I'm a pear shape, so when I gain weight, it goes to my hips, butt and thighs and not my breasts. She may drink alot and have a beer gut; who knows. But I knew a girl in middle school who already had like double D boobs, but her legs were super skinny like the woman's in the video. It always looks off.
And women with the apple shape tend to have higher testosterone (I think that actually is what drives the shape) which may partially explain the behavior observed in the OP.
Like other people said, this is a result of fairly common, and unfortunate, genetics combined with poor diet and exercise.
It's commonly referred to an apple-shaped body, in which hips are narrow and the midsection and shoulders are wider. When women with this body type are heavy, the fat gets stored heavily in their stomach in a outward gut shape and big boobs. Meanwhile, their thighs may be disproportionately skinny, while their hips are very narrow with no ass.
All my life my legs have been super skinny - when I was a kid they called me bird legs. Even when I've been to a personal trainer I've been told that I'd have a really hard time getting my calf muscles big because of how I'm assembled (something about where the tendons insert). My mom and sister are the exact same. Just a normal genetic variant.
None of us have double-G cup boobs to go with it tho, jesus.
While I agree, I'm surprised by all of the people in here praising the kid. Obviously the woman was acting moronic, but the kid wasn't acting that mature, a lot of what he was saying he should have known would bait the lady into reacting. If he actually wanted to defuse the situation he really should have stopped talking at the beginning when she was about to leave instead of trying to getting the last word in.
Just because he was in the right and had good arguments doesn't mean he couldn't have handled that shit better.
No one's saying it's easy, but calling it surprisingly intelligent is somewhat of a reach.

He did seem to have the upper hand on several points against this lady. Namely, basic laws like yielding to pedestrians and the right to shoot video and take pictures in public.
And? Nothing wrong with that. It's his free speech. Her car and threats of harm are not. Period. Maybe the title is misleading but that's the best response we could have seen from a 14 yo. I would have likely kicked her car when I was 14 lol
I dont care about her feelings but if you want her to leave just dont say anything when she's driving away. If you want to make a liveleak video of annoying people then keep you keep talking.

For me, it really doesn't matter what the kids did because as an adult she should have never gotten into this argument. If they flipped her off, she should have ignored it and kept going. Arguing with a 14 year old about someone flipping her off is not something an adult should do. It's just so silly.
Yeah, I think a lot of it had to do with the kid knowing that he was right, and refusing to back down. Real maturity comes with not having to get the last word in, and the kid clearly wanted to get the last word in. I think it was only fear/annoyance at the filming that drove the lady away.
I think the point wasn't that he's acting perfectly, but that he's giving a much better response than a lot of people would. Certainly most 14 year olds.
You're judging the kid as an adult though. For a 14 year old with his friends standing around, he did pretty good. Judge the woman as if she's a 30 year old adult, because she is, judge the kid differently, as if he's a 14 year old, because he is. Different standards
Exactly the kid acted very mature for a 14 YEAR OLD. Of course he baited her who wouldn't, why does he need to be the one to act like an adult and walk away. When he is arguing with an actual adult. People just expect kids to be submissive cause their younger but then also expect them to act like adults.
Yeah he is like 14 years old and you expect more than him being more mature than the adult? Lol seems you just had to find something to disagree with, ah reddit.
Man, when I was 14, I would be doing the exact same thing. You know she can't punch you, cause she's on video. You know she is making herself look like an ass, cause she's on video. What's the worst that can happen? This little dude's adrenaline was probably at 1000, and it was the most fun those kids probably had all week. She fell into their trap, and they got a good laugh, and a viral video. What more could a 14 year old with a camera ask for?
So we should shame the teen for acting like a college student? He did act older than his age by a few years and she acted his age. So imo yeah he kinda was more mature.
I agree. I watched it and thought he probably should have stopped talking a lot sooner. While he didn't really do anything wrong, it probably could have ended sooner. She certainly wasn't right in how she was acting. Any rational adult shouldn't let a random kid on the street get them that worked up, especially one pointing a camera at you. But it could have probably been a non issue if she had driven away the first time, and if he hadn't yelled at her car as it was driving away. And I know I said any rational adult, and clearly she wasn't rational, so I get it. But it's a kid. Why does this lady care so much? And it's embarrassing to get into an argument with a kid. She's a sensitive person, it seems.
I didn't see or hear anything surprisingly intelligent from the kid. He was a bit less annoying than the adult, which I suppose is surprising from a 14-year-old.
Eh true, but in fairness my comment didn't say he was surprising intelligent.

I think that we need a better descriptor than childish. I have been thinking about it a lot lately given the nature of the president. I work with kids of all different ages and while they can sometimes be overly emotional they are more often a much better version of people. They are kind, compassionate, they have a better moral compass, they share, they support others, they are honest, and they are hard working.
I need to come up with a more sophisticated version of brat.
Don't forget the damage to the front quarter panel. Usually damage like that is caused by the driver of the vehicle. She's a shitty person AND a shitty driver.

Didn't even notice the zip ties, the Florida plates already told me everything I needed to know.
I had some rage yesterday when seeing spiderman. The theater lets you pick your seats as they have fancy chairs. This old cunt comes into the movie late with 2 grandkids. Then proceeds to act like my seats are hers. I tell her no we picked these. She then goes to the row in front of me and forces 4 senior citizens to move all the way to the front. It was hard for me to not rage and if the movie wasn't already started I would have said something. But this dumb cunt literally got to come to a movie late then get prime seating because she made people move. I remember when picking my seat the back of the theater didn't have any 3 seats open. This dumb bitch picked seats at the front but thought she was picking seats in the back and forced old people to move just because fuck them.
That would be a perfect april fool's joke. Switch /r/trees with /r/rage

He came off as OK - annoying, but OK. The intelligent thing to do is walk away and not provoke her. The reason the video went so long is he refused to disengage. The "surprising intelligent" title is just click bate.
You never know what kind of life another person has, what has happened throughout their lives or that exact day for that matter. There could be numerous things happening to her at the moment that would make it easy for her to snap. I encourage you guys to read or to listen to David Foster Wallace's speech This Is Water.

I am not disputing that. I am agreeing with the parent comment in that this video is annoying because everyone is annoying. The kid behaved more rational than most, but was still annoying, which made the video unpleasant to watch even with my justice boner.
I think people are saying that when you're 14, you're kind of annoying regardless. Its part of growing up and figuring out where you belong, you act out, say brash things and such. But eventually people are expected to grow out of that. Like I said, the kid is being a kid and the people here that act like thats wrong sound like they would get along with this woman more than they think

I guess people indiscriminately use it to mean 'woman' in the US now, even though every one of its definitions carries some connotation of superiority, refinement or gentility (except when it's used to refer to a wife, girlfriend or mistress). I'm not quite sure what's wrong with calling a woman a woman, and a woman with good manners and higher social status a lady. But people gonna people, I suppose.
I mean, I always thought Lady was widely accepted to be a formal way of addressing any female.
aabeba ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:23:17 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Supposing that to be true... this is still Reddit, right, so formality sort of goes out the window, no? I never hear people call men 'gentlemen' or 'lords'.
Still... I've never heard anyone consider 'lady' a formal variant of 'woman'. Do you have any evidence of this?
Fuck me I'm not trying to defend the woman, the fact that she's an idiot is clearly out of the question. But going after her and saying "have a nice day" like that was not a mature thing to do at all and he was clearly trying to provoke a reaction by doing that
All of these answers from people that really don't understand what we find odd about the kid's behaviour really highlights how many people are confrontational and don't even consider just dropping the argument.
It's like how people respond to the people that are downvoted to hell on reddit posts.
100% agree.
Also there is a huge circlejerk around this video too and people having a justice boner for the kid and wanting to hate on the evil woman. I also get the feeling that these arguments are more common in the United States where people love to recite 'muh rights' to people and think they can't be in the wrong because of that. Just because you're not doing anything against the law doesn't mean you are morally superior and should act like a confrontational cunt to people. More and more of these videos exist. The fact that they get a reception like this on social media is only a bad thing, because people will actually go looking for confrontations and film it on their phone, just so they can have a viral video. The whole morality/ethical stanpoint in the every day situation is thrown out of the window and left for people on social media to discuss basically.
LOL What? She was being a shithead and he said "have a nice day"... so she came back and escalated. Why people are so fucking afraid of confrontation, I have no idea... but that's why cunts like her act the way they do.. because everyone around gets all fucking squeamish when someone puts someone else in their place publicly.
Had this cunt backed up at a cop like that, even just to mouth of to him, she'd be laying in a pool of her own blood surrounded by "POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS" tape so fucking fast your head would spin - but you're on his shit for fucking having the AUDACITY to demand an adult not reply to his attempt at deescalation with "fuck you"? That reeks of pushoverism and cowardice and is 100% the reason bitches like her act the way they do.
It has nothing to do with "justice boner" or "social media" and everything to do with enforcing the social contract of "act like an asshole get treated like an asshole". How many charges at him with closed fist must the kid take before he's allowed to actually feel threatened? You think a cop would have stood for half of those? Fuck off.
Lmao you're so angry. You're the kind of person like these two people in this video, who won't let go of stupid shit and argue it out purely out of principle. Try to focus on more important things in life instead of getting riled up over trivial situations like this.
This is not the type of situation where it is necessary to stand up for yourself, because it has nothing to do with your personal situation or reaching personal goals. And besides that, how do you not see that him filming this whole thing had something to do with the way he reacted? He clearly had a goal with this as soon as he was recording it which was completely unnecessary. It's fine to stand up for yourself and yes it is needed in certain situations, but he had a motive that had nothing to do with that.
I don't know why I'm even arguing this, because I wasn't even implying that the kid should necessarily have let it go. I'm only saying that he isn't the saint in this situation and that he is not morally right, as much as the woman isn't. They're both cunts. It's weird that you try to make it about "pushoverism" and "cowardice" or "being afraid of confrontation", but you must have some deep seeded issues about these things.
I don't understand. He kept talking so this grown woman just HAD to keep arguing and and try to hit him with her car. Just seems like she's so petty and childish that even a 14 yr old is more mature than her. She should realize that she can't treat this kid like another adult, and back off immediately. She has a car and could have driven away immediately after saying fuck you!
uhhh she tried to run him over... after he said have a nice day i'm sorry that happened... then she got out of the car and started yelling. she was looking to cause trouble. i dont get how u can watch that video and blame that kid even in the slightest
They're obviously both in the wrong and having a retarded discussion that doesnt need to take place in the first place! Jesus christ, I'm not trying to defend the retarded woman at all
One of them is fourteen years old, though. It is not his fucking job to diffuse the tension of a situation, nor is it his job to police his own language and intonation so as to not escalate a situation further. He's a fucking child, speaking to an adult. His maturity is irrelevant.
What is your point, if not to defend the "retarded woman"? I read your other comment, the one whining about confrontations in the media. You don't seem to actually be interested in conversation, and you want to blame a fourteen year old child equally for someone attempting to run him over, as the adult woman who was driving the car... so... I'm not sure what you actually want.
Help me out here, bud. How do we turn this into a win for you?
uhhh he apologized and said have a good day, she was the one that kept getting out of the car. Its on her to leave.

Oh come one, if you didn't detect hefty sarcasm and rudeness in that "have a nice day" your sarcasm detectors are off.
I'm not defending the woman's response, but the kid was was laying down polite words with insulting intent. He loved her reaction and baited her for more.
sounded to me like he was tired of the situation and just apologized (even if he didn't mean it) figuring that would end it and everyone could move on. had she been a sane person that would have worked.
She starts charging at him multiple times threateningly. And almost hit him after he apologized right away. Standing there didn't work and would have gotten him assaulted probably.
My interpretation is that the lady only came multiple times at him only because she was dumb enough to want to have the last word against the kid.
If he had just recognized she was an idiot and repeating 15 times his basic knowledged about the law was useless, the situation would have never escalated.

I don't know; I wouldn't have acted like that at 14 and I'd hope my kid wouldn't. I don't know what happened, but if I did defend a friend out of solidarity for flipping off someone who needed us to move out of the street, I wouldn't expect anyone else to think I was in the right.
I think people's expectations of kids are just too low. That other kid literally spit on her car. That's completely inappropriate no matter what age you are. I don't care if you're six. For all we know the kid's friend flipped her off just because she was trying to drive by with them playing in the street. And then this kid goads and baits her.
That's the first thing he says in the video. How many 14 year olds admit fault, apologize and then try to end the situation before more trouble arises?
Then she responds with "how about you go fuck yourself."
You say you wouldn't have acted like that, but I feel like most of us acted shitty in some way or another as a kid/teen, maybe we just don't remember it like that because we thought we were in the right at the time. Kids can't really be expected to act rationally until they gain some life experiences, so under the circumstances I feel he behaved appropriately and her behavior was just unbelievable. Also, he didn't seem to be defending his friend at all, only himself.
I think it starts a little rough because he's understandably rattled, by the end it didn't bother me at all but I get where other commenters are coming from. He started out seeming a bit like a know it all teen but wound up being a very collected rationally responding young adult.
If he's 14, he's been a teenager for at least a year

I felt like it went the other way. At the beginning he seemed like a rattled kid trying his best, then as it went on he realized he was in a position of power.
Let's not praise him because he showed more maturity than that woman. It's like saying Mussolini was a nice guy because he didn't kill as many as Hitler.
qbak ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 00:14:03 on July 24, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Why does every analogy must lead to Hitler and the holocaust. He started his conversation by apologizing to her. I think that was nice.
People are claiming this kid is "mature". He is only mature because the lady is that much more immature than him. If we didn't have the lady as a comparison no body would be lauding this kid as mature.
In comparison to Hitler Mussolini isn't considered that bad. Benito helped save some people from the clutches of Nazi Germany and he didn't murder nearly as many. He was the accomplice not the main murderer. However if you look at Benito all by himself you'd be like 'man that guy is awful!'. Nobody would laud him as being a nice guy.
Glad to see I'm not the only one that thought this. The lady was definitely crossing lines, but he was kinda baiting her as well tbh. Definitely no young Gandhi.
His behaviour was definitely due to the adrenaline and stress response though.
He was not trying to escalate it. He was genuinely threatened. It was more likely an auto-pilot response, and he did pretty damn good staying as articulate as he did (even as he stumbled over words).
But I also believe she's not entirely in the wrong.
Her behaviour and attitude was not conducive to resolving the situation, but if the kids really were hanging out in the street and not moving, then something probably should have been said.
If the two attitudes were reversed, the thread would be full up of people supporting her, and people saying, "I would have gotten out of my car and put my foot down. I don't care, I would have whooped his ass if he was blocking my car and threatening me."
The context of the attitude is extremely important, obviously, but I think (depending on what the instigation actually was) she probably had a reason to confront them to begin with, and I think giving her attitude, he had a reason to be in a sort of stress mode, and squawking away.
Reddit clings on to whatever side is taken in the title when really there's just two sides to every story. That being said if that were me,!I would have driven off the first time you gotta be a crazy bitch to back up at some kids
His behaviour was definitely due to the adrenaline and stress response though.
As was hers too. She might bear more of the blame for this stupidity because she's not 14, but the kid was taunting her to do something to him at a point.
In truth we'll never fully know what they are feeling/thinking. But as u/Ringelreddit pointed out: at 00:35 in the video you can see one of the kid's friends spitting on the woman's car. No innocents in this fight. Then again, we've all been 14 once ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Well cops have shot people for walking towards them. him being 14 y/o and being pressed by a 35ish y/o whale, i can understand him bringing up being threatened.
Every time she walked back to her car, he followed her. He was walking towards her just as much as she walked towards him. They all look like assholes.
What do you do when youre talking to someone from their car? You walk up to the window. The lady's mistake was to still talk to the kid while she was in her car. Not to mention that she got baited and out witted by a 14 year old.
They both could have eneded the argument at anytime if either one of them decided to just walk away. But she had a bigger reason to walk away because she lost the argument.
And she had her car running to go someplace

Did you mean to do a double negative? I agree that cops do shoot innocents. The point is that they behave terribly and nobody should emulate them, which your previous comment appeared to suggest.
This. At least once or twice she pounds her fist into her hands. I wouldn't have been mad if someone slapped her in the back with a hoverboard at that point. The fuck are you thinking? "Don't assault me" like 9 times and you charge at someone with a closed fist?
If he would have hit her, the internet would be up in arms.. "don't assault me" that many times and still everyone would be hating him... And yet Kelly Thomas is dead for "resisting" being beaten to death... without injuring a single cop. Yep. Par for the fucking course.
Kid should have laughed and left or something as soon as she was out of her car, or better yet, just leave after saying have a good day, baiting people like that is pretty petty. Pushing people's buttons for the hell of it is shitty imo
Why do people who are arguing with each other tend to speak super fast and with no delays? To the point where a lot of what they say doesnt make any sense? Thats what's most annoying about this video.
Honestly in my opinion everything that kid was saying was dripping with sarcasm and the common better-than-you spoiled attitude most teenagers have nowadays. Also the "She tried to hit me with her car" when she backed up. No... she was reversing to continue the cringy-screamfest. They're both fucking morons that need some common sense.

If a crazy bitch tried to BACK HER CAR into me, I'd feel pretty threatened as a 14 year old, especially since she was threatening to "beat him, because his parents don't" at one point in the video. Given how large this whale of a woman is, I'd say it's pretty unlikely the 14 year old can safely assume he'd win in a fight with her. Compound the fact that she's also trying to run him over with her car, I'd say it's pretty threatening.
She slightly cut the wheel to turn towards him. That's what changed it from a stupid argument to potential assault. Now I'm not saying she'd be convicted, but she was certainly trying to scare him and threaten to find out where he lives. She's an adult, she threatened him, he felt threatened. Shame on an adult for even engaging with teenagers in an argument.
LOL He's just smarter than you give him credit for.
"I feel threatened" is the non-cop, non-asshole version of "stop resisting". He's setting himself up to be legally protected from culpability if two things happen:
(a) She acts dumber than seen and actually assaults him - now he's got it on video that multiple times he felt threatened by her and told her to stop and she continued.
(b) He freaks out at something she does and beats her ass - now he's got it on video that he was in fear of harm and responded in self-defense.
He isn't being the victim, he's practicing CYA.

What's more annoying than someone standing their ground and not letting themselves get intimidated, am I right?
"Get the fuck out of the doorway people are trying to get on" - "Why are you being so rude"?
"Excuse me can you move your bag off the seat?" - "Fuck you. Then I'd have to hold it." - "... You're serious?" - (others) "Leave them alone"
You see - people hate confrontation. It makes the coward in them hella uncomfortable - so they don't know how to act about it. Ever try calling someone out for cutting you in a long line? Holy shit you're the bad guy, even for a gentle "uh excuse me? there's a line"... Everyone stares daggers like "how dare you call someone out publicly!" I say fuck that.
There is a right way and a wrong way to confront others. You should confront others in the right situations, and you should do so in the right way. You should confront people when they're doing something socially unacceptable (maybe without realizing it), but "get the fuck out of the doorway" isn't the right way to do it. Saying just "Out of the way" or "please move people you're blocking the door" is the way to correct them without also insulting them and instigating an argument.

Yep. What is it with assault in the US? It seems like everybody in these videos a hoping for minor physical contact so they can claim assault. Weird mentality.
Yup and the kid also could have ended it himself given how cool and know it all he seems, but he kept egging on what seems like a pretty stupid individual. So its like noone is good there, kids spitting on her car, and she is also a woman which is pretty nice mixture to the whole thing. A dude would have handled it differently - being same stupid and angry. Probably would have taken the kids phone and ran over it or smth but here shy gyrates from wanting to be the victing to a total badass to the one who couldnt care less. its disturbing.
Right, the lady was wrong because she kept going after the kid in her rage, and the kid just kept running his fucking mouth and egging her on. Lady should have just called the non-emergency police line if she thought the kids were in the street and being a problem. I just don't get the whole "let's verbally assault people!! They will surely think I am a rational person and understand their errors!"
I feel like they were just instigating each other. The kid has some more leeway given he's 14, he makes valid points, but where are either of them accomplishing by screaming at each other? Plus we don't know what happened before the video. I mean a group of teenagers, they probably were in the street and for all we know she could have been driving down the road and the kids were doing that bullshit thing when they see you coming but still walk purposefully slow to piss you off...
They really should have just said fuck off, or flipped the bird and moved on with their lives.

The movie not being in stock is a reason to talk to a manager. There not being a discount is reason to talk to a manager. Not being offered help they never asked for is reason to talk to a manager.
Crazy people will find any reason that they're a victim and should be compensated. Don't you know the customer is always right?
I had someone lecture me, take down my name, and tell me they'd take me up with upper management just yesterday, after I had managed to locate and have order in, at no charge to them, an item they wanted, which we didn't have in the store at the moment. I still have no idea what they were upset about, because I was as nice as ever and the entire exchange went fine, but they still felt the need to threaten me for something.

This lady definitely complains when she goes out to eat.
The one positive I take out of shit like this is more then likely this woman has a very sad life. You don't try to pick on a 14yo if you are winning in life and the fact she lost the argument tells me her life is nothing but a massive disappointment.
No. You shouldn't ever look at someone in a worse situation than you and think "Yay for me" in the same way the existence of astronauts and Olympic athletes shouldn't make you depressed.
Way I see it is no one deserves love. Everyone has done something that they lost ye right to be loved and some people never earn that back. But we should still love them regardless. Even the worst of the worst
Based off of her incredibly fragile ego, and repeatedly demanding respect from a random teenager, I have to assume that she has never known unconditional love, from anyone, especially her parents. She will also never be capable of giving unconditional love, and the cycle will perpetuate.
She is 100% wrong here. But she will likely never know or understand why. And she probably has children, who believe that it is normal and acceptable for their mother to scream and cuss at them, just for being kids, and acting like kids. They in turn, learn, "This is how you treat children", and the cycle will never, ever end. What an enormous tragedy of mankind.

She probably doesn't think so. This is an attitude she'll take on with any person that gives her lip, it's just more pathetic that she's doing it to a stranger that's a kid. She likely has kids of her own. This is the south's equivalent of the party hard girl that "knows how to have a good time" of the chunky variety.
I'm surprised that other people are finding this as a rarity as far as her demeanor. I can list several dozen people I've known or currently know that behave in this exact manner. You can see it in complete strangers when you're around it long enough, which is pretty much anyone that's been through high school here or subjected to the existence of such trash...
The one positive I took out of this is that this kid's parents have done a fucking excellent job of teaching him how to be respectful and keep his cool. I'm highly impressed with this kid's behavior
The sad thing is you're probably wrong, at least until now that this is viral.
The dumber people are the more right they think they are usually. The sort of person who does this to a kid drives away thinking they were right to act that way and that kid was an asshole, then go on with their day like it never happened. I grew up near trash central in SE Michigan, I've known a lot of people like that.
I'm not saying they don't think they have won or were right, but public perception. She is tone deaf to the world around her. The reality is people like this don't go on to do anything with with their lives because they burn bridges and do high risk things without thinking.
You can be an asshole an win in life. Jordan Belfort is the the perfect example of this. The difference between the two is Jordan is a cunning , smart, funny, presents himself well, and thinks before he talks. Jordan has redeeming qualities.
This woman isn't very attractive, doesn't present well, talks harshly to strangers before she has a real read on them, does shit out of anger, and despite her age has less of an understand of the law then a 14yo kid that coupled with the tattoos (tattoos aren't a bad thing, but they can help you read a person) in this case they say white trash.
If you want to be an asshole in life and get away with it you have to have redeeming qualities to outweigh the bad ones. The reason Zack Braff got away with the same thing is he is a funny, smart, well read guy. That buys you a lot of rope in life.
EDIT: ok, the reason nobody bought the Do5 bullshit when they dressed up nice for camera with the cosby sweater is because we have seen their videos, we know how they really dress, how they really act. You don't build an outward perception of yourself by picking you at your best it's done in the day to day. if day to day you wear jeans and a tshirt, but once in a blue moon you scrub up and put on a suit it won't change how most of the world sees you
They sometimes make it very difficult. There's a teenager who hangs around a place I frequent a lot who loves to make demeaning comments about everyone.
The other teens just banter back, which frankly seems like a stupid way to spend your time. Vying for who can put down their friends the most.
But if you ignore him he seems to think it's weakness and he'll just hover around doing it non stop like a buzzing mosquito. It's hard to resist tearing the little shit a new one even it is just to get him to shut up for the amount of time it takes you tell him off.
But yeah, when you do that you're the grown up shitting on a kid.
Honestly, multiple times in this video she sounded kind of hopeless. Total bitch move in her part, %100 wrong of her. But it still seems like she's having a hard time in life and it kinda sucks that it's probably worse now because people are making fun of her on the internet.
But she should have handled it better, so oh well
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
That's the opposite of possitive. It shows that if her life wasn't as sad, pathetic and unfulfilled, she might've been a very contributing member of society. In a different universe, with different, more positive life, she could've been second Marie Curie or Rosalind Flanklin. Instead, here we are...
Everyone's acting like she's Hitler. The rest of the kids sounded like they were little shits, we didn't see the what happened before the video. The kid sounded condescending when he said you can have a good day mam she probably didn't even acknowledge the sorry part until after she said fuck off. She's definitely a bitch, but I don't think she'd actually try to reverse into the kid.
how is that a positive? isn't that really sad? it amazes me how easily people seem to disassociate themselves with the flaw of others. maybe she didn't have a quality education or good parental guidance growing up? maybe she had some other stressor/trigger that caused her to lash out?
I'm not saying anything she did was right. I'm just saying if you took the time to pause and think about this woman's life (which most people don't do b/c hey it's the internet and that's fine), how can't you at least be more understanding instead of more judgmental?
As someone that was nearly beaten to death by my dad I can tell you all that stuff is just a weak "it was done to me so i'm going to do it back to the world" excuse. That behavior isn't exceptable towards anyone, let alone a 14yo kid.
I'm not without sin. There was a good 3 years where i was an asshole, but I was 21-24 when I took my pain out on other people. While that is legally an adult you are really still haven't becoming your own person at that age.
You know what I realized at 25? nobody likes people like this, nobody goes to bat for you when you need it and as much as I used to say I didn't care what people thought of me the simple fact is everyone wants people to like them.
So rather the poke outward when I thought someone wasn't listening to me I made a better effort to listen to that persons...turns out if you actually take an interest in someone life in most cases those people will make a bigger effort with you.
She looks at least late 30's more than likely in her 40's. At what point do you have to stop blaming others and take ownership of your own life? At some point you have to grow up and be an adult. So no i'm not going to give her the benefit out the doubt because her character tells me she isn't going to change and i'm only willing to meet people half way

Actually, in Florida, pedestrians must yield right of way if they are not on a crosswalk.
Every pedestrian crossing a roadway at any point other than within a marked crosswalk or within an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles upon the roadway.
Lady should still be arrested tho

That doesn't mean that if they're in the road they can be run over, it just means they have to give way. For all we know, she sped into the area and the kids didn't have time to do so. That law is more of a guideline for traffic flow, if a person is crossing, you still need to stop. It's possible they could get fined for improper movement, but safety is above any rule of right of way.
No, of course it doesn't give the driver licence to commit murder, but if the original incident, in the way in which it was described in the video, was recorded and presented in a court setting, then I'm confident they would rule in favor of the driver. Drivers have right of way outside of crosswalks. It's up to the driver whether or not they want to exercise that right and potentially spend the next fifteen to thirty in prison with a second or first degree felony, at least in Florida.
Rhaedas ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:30:58 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I don't know how a court presentation would go. One would assume that if it got to that level, some damages were incurred, either to her car, to herself, or to one of the kids. While the beginning of the whole thing would be important, I think charges would be based on the actions that caused the reason for the law suit, and not just because some kids were in the road when she came by.
Right, a hypothetical setting in which the court would determine who, in fact, had right of way. Her car was damaged, but probably from another incident involving her exemplary driving.
I don't think drives exercise the right to kill or not kill a pedestrian based on a jaywalking rule... it is a neighborhood too. I don't think you paint such a broad brush with laws in a residential neighborhood. Kids are in the streets all the time, are you gonna call the cops to give them a citation?
I don't believe that the cited law on right of way states that pedestrians aren't allowed to be in the street, just that they must yield right of way to cars, if the pedestrians are not in a crosswalk.
Im not that stubborn haha. Citing that law just seems pointless when it was a group of kids playing in a neighborhood street.
Obviously that lady has a weird interpretation of that law if shes screaming that she doesn't have to yield to them... well they aren't crossing the street... they are literally hanging out in the street. And they are children.
Yea, nor can I. In the Florida State statute regarding pedestrian right of way it says very clearly that pedestrians must yield on all roads meant for vehicular travel.

I think technically only emergency vehicles have the right of way. All other times one drive has to yield the right of way to another but that doesn't mean the other driver has the right of way.
That's not the cheerleader effect, that's the ugly friend effect, just with intelligence. The cheerleader effect is when a bunch of people of average attractiveness get in a group and look more attractive together than alone.

No, I see his point. The way you're wording it makes it sound like only the most attractive in the group benefits from the cheerleader effect, when I'm actuality all members of the group do.

The cheerleader effect doesn't have someone who gets the short end of the stick and looks uglier. Everyone gets an upgrade of attractiveness from being in the group, which the lady in the video does not.
Since she doesn't look smarter by interacting with the kid, and instead only makes the kid look like a scholar (your words, so unless you're saying the woman looks smarter because she's arguing with a 14 year old, I'm not being pedantic) it's closer to the ugly friend effect, which is making only one person/group look better because another is uglier/stupider, with no benefit to the latter.

if you were so annoyed about people arguing you wouldn't be arguing
i think a better idea is you not using the wrong terminology and then getting angry because you got corrected
"the cheerleader effect" is just a blatantly wrong term to use here. the kid is smarter in comparison, sure, but it's not the cheerleader effect. not even close.
Compare his maturity to that of his peers in the same exact video. Saying, "Oh, god, if you were a guy..." (insinuating that if the lady were a male he'd hit her) and also spitting on her car. Not that I necessarily disagree with him doing the latter, but the kid filming is clearly way more mature than the rest of his friends.
In her defense, in her day and age that was a thing. Back in the ole "Takes a community to raise a kid" days. Adults who weren't teachers couldn't beat you, but if you didn't show respect to your elders they'd just tell your parents, and your parents would take their side regardless and punish you accordingly. Not saying it's right, or not annoying, but I can see why she still believes she should have authority based on seniority.
Oh, for sure. I'm 31, so all of my aunts and uncles are around that age you mentioned. A couple of my mom's sisters still cling to that despite my sisters and me being well into adulthood. It's pretty sad.
They show us no respect and are quick to tell us how rude their own grandparents, uncles, and aunts were to them (I guess my great grandma was notorious for not giving children the time of day or even looking them in the eye). I tell them that if my grandmother treated me like that, I wouldn't talk to her. "You wouldn't talk to your own grandmother?". "Not if she acted like a bitch". Then they get all angry.
I'm your age and I've noticed that too. My parents (mom especially) demand utmost respect, but don't give it to me or my sisters and still treat us like kids despite the fact that we're all grown women now.
Its like she spent her whole childhood being forced to kiss older peoples ass and when shes finally older nobody has to kiss her ass and that probably sucks for her.
"Do you have any yard to play in, do you have to play in the street?"
"Yes, street rulez son."
Also I can side with the kids simply because of the way she acted. She didn't give any actual reasoning for about the first 5 minutes but she does eventually say, "Every time you play in front of my yard you end up in my yard". They're playing soccer so I have no doubt she's right that every time they play it, since they're aiming for the net, when they miss it ends up in her yard and they have to go get it. And while you might think it's childish to not want kids on your lawn some people like others to respect their property and stay off of it.
That being said, she didn't say why they couldn't play in front of her house for a while and just pulled the bullshit "I'm your elder" card. I bet if she had nicely explained it like a cute little old grandmother they would've been fine.
Yeah, a lot of people don't know that you catch more bees with honey than vinegar. Being nice and respectful goes a lot further, even with assholes. If you get aggressive with people over dumb shit like this they'll only get more defensive and aggressive in return.
"Hey kids, playing soccer again? Oh that's great. I hope you're having fun! Hey, can I ask a favor of you fine young gentleman, would you mind playing over on the other side of the court, I'm worried you might lose your ball by accident on my side of the property. Thank you, have a good day!" Problem solved.
They said they were playing kick ball. So instead of kicking the bell into the net, they would be kicking it away. The ball can still end up in her yard, but not near as much as if they were playing soccer.
[deleted] ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 17:56:07 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah, the net is probably to catch missed pitches specifically so they DON'T end up in her yard
Dude. Your front yard isn't some fortress of solitude. If someone drops a ball they can pick it up. Front yards usually aren't fenced off. If it got kicked into backyard then ya go ask before going into someone's backyard because it's fenced off with a gate.
Even if that's the case, so fucking what? Are they damaging her yard by walking on it occasionally -- y'know, the activity its made for -- to retrieve their ball?
Our neighbor's kids end up playing in our yard half the time they're outside. Again, so what? They're not damaging anything, they're not causing any disturbance. Who cares, let em have their fun.
Just because this old coot is frustrated about her hideous unfuckable mombod doesn't mean she can take it out on some innocent kids just trying to play. She's not a neighbor, she's just some old bitch that happens to live across the street.
Some people care about their lawns like how some people care about their cars. Just because you don't care about yours and would lean on your own car doesn't mean I'm okay with you leaning on mine. Do I think you'll scratch the paint? Probably not, but you might and I don't want to have to fix it if you do. The kids probably aren't hurting the lawn at all but kids being kids they could I don't know, trip and pull part of it up? Also from the sounds of it she said, "You're making that dog go nuts" and a kid says, "Yeah, your dog" so yes, they very well could be causing a disturbance. The dog knows it's property and probably barks at the kids every time they're on the lawn which would be super annoying.
Okay, that's actually a good point, with the caveat that grass is meant to be walked on. Auto body panels are not meant to be leaned on (unless it's a gritty work truck or something) and it will definitely scratch the clear coat.
Edit: also, you can see her yard is patchy and full of leaves 'n shit. Pretty sure this is a case of "bitchy old hag," and not, "I care tirelessly about my lawn."
Or maybe she can discipline her dog? Train it?
My dog barks when someone knocks or is in our front yard, but she knows that if she barks and doesn't stop she's in trouble.
My Father in Law loves his lawn more than some of his children, he once accidentally used weed killer on a part of his lawn and he fucking cried, But he knows people are going walk on it. He's not an idiot.
If someone gets injured on your property, even while trespassing, they can sue you, and potentially financially devastate you.
This lady definitely handled the situation poorly. Those kids are absolutely within their rights to play in the street, or on the sidewalk in front of her house.
However, if they step a foot off of "city property" onto "her property", and end up tripping over an exposed tree root on her front lawn and breaking their arm, she would be liable.
IANAL, and she could likely argue that the kids were "trespassing", so she is not responsible for any medical bills, however, their attorney could argue that kids entering her front yard was a "foreseeable event", and she failed to remove a hazard (exposed tree root that caused the kid to trip and break his arm).
In a situation like that, if you have no homeowners insurance and can't afford to pay a landscaper to fix the exposed root issue, you'd likely find yourself properly f**ked.
Well to be fair, this is in response to the kids saying there's a difference between videos and photos. Which I don't think there is, legally speaking.
Lol what a dumbass. Old people are just vindictive assholes. And this chick had literally no argument other than "you arent allowed to play here" which is false. Every single time these kids had a valid argument she just parroted it back. "I know what stalking means too" Lol how daft can you be

See I figured she didn't want them missing the goal and hitting her house / window. That actually would make sense to me- and deadass if the kids hit the soccer ball close to my window I would politely ask them to move it- but I'd explain why. A broken window costs money and is overall a huge pain in the ass nobody wants to deal with. It's an urgent matter. But no- she did not have the iq to explain herself or somehow bullshit the situation. Huge fail

From the sounds of it she said she's fixing a part of the lawn which I'm assuming means she has recently planted fresh grass. If that's the case then stopping people running on it can help the grass grow nicer. Still, she could have simply explained that to the kids and asked them to walk around the grass as much as possible instead of straight across it.
Yeah, it's not the kids occasionally running into her yard to get a ball that she doesn't like, it's the hours of nonstop screaming and revelry that will accompany the kids' playing. Some people just like their peace and quiet. She should really move to a "retirement community" if that's the way she wants to live, not a neighborhood that's obviously chock full of children.
Whenever people talk about "southern hospitality", I just remember shit like this from my childhood. Ain't no such thing as "southern hospitality". There are just as many assholes in the south and just as many kind welcoming people in the north. (And god forbid you don't live your life according to how they want you to, or that 'hospitality' goes right out the window.)
I dont, actually. They seem to have a full culdasack to use, they could be placing that net anywhere, but they seem to be trying to antagonize her. Not 100% sure though, but this video feels different.
There's a clear difference between lack of experience and stupidity. Middle school kids are just inexperienced and haven't seen the world all too much. They're still relatively smart
They are an awesome age imo. They want to know more and gain experiences. They just need the opportunity. The unfortunate thing is that people assume young people are just dumb or that their own experiences are more valid.
Back in middle school I found nothing more frustrating than people downplaying my experiences or opinions just based on my age, so I have to agree with you.
Yes, she did. She committed assault with a deadly weapon. If the kid showed this video to a cop in his town and requested to press charges they wouldn't hesitate to go arrest her for disorderly conduct and would probably give serious consideration to assault charges. She also would likely be ticketed for running the stopsign and having a taillight out if the light was still not operational when they came to arrest her. Laws don't stop having value because you broke them last week.
She's also driving barefoot which is illegal in some states and she wasn't wearing a seatbelt
Edit: yes I'm wrong, after doing research instead of believing what I've been told I've learned that it's not illegal in any state, just highly discouraged. Even though I'm being downvoted for this I'm leaving it as is because it's good to learn from your mistakes and if I believed it's illegal I'm sure others believe it too.

None of what you said is right. And you may have violated ethical standards by giving what is very close to legal advice while representing yourself as someone qualified to do so.
First of all, assault varies in the different states, but the English common law basis for assault is established well enough that every state I know of includes "putting someone in reasonable apprehension of physical harm" as a kind of assault. This kind of assault is typically a misdemeanor, but almost every state also has a law that states that any assault against a minor under 15 (or thereabouts depending on the state) is a felony. Mine certainly does.
Even if the kid wasn't a minor, backing up a vehicle in a manner that is intended to put someone in reasonable apprehension of physical injury can absolutely be assault with a deadly weapon, and depending on the state can be prison mandatory. I have represented at least one client in a case where the person accelerated aggressively at someone else and was charged with dangerous nature prison mandatory assault with a deadly weapon (a vehicle is almost always a deadly weapon).
Secondly, there is nothing even slightly barring a DA from pursuing this case. All they have to do is put out a warrant, which they can do with the license plate and general description. No detectives, no significant resources wasted.
Thirdly, there is no point where the city gets involved in this. First of all, this is a felony, so it is tried in state court. Misdemeanors are still violations of State law. Cities, on the other hand, are only responsible for traffic citations. There are very few instances where cities have the legal and constitutional authority to create misdemeanors and they are typically in the field of commercial regulation (e.g., if you fuck up the wiring on your restaurant, you can be charged with a violation of city incorporated coding standards that becomes a misdemeanor because a State law says you can't violate coding). City police departments are paid in part by the city (but also substantially through state and federal grant funding); they are not beholden to the city, they have the authority to enforce state law alongside county and city regulations. Once a misdemeanor is charged it can either go through a city or county court depending on the states constitution.
Fourthly, disturbing the peace is not what you think it is. Disturbing the peace is typically defined as "conduct where one reckless disturbs the peace of another," it is intentionally very vague and frequently operates as a catch-all crime with 'add-ons' that mean it can be charged as a felony. The key distinction in this case is that the lady here did intend to cause the minor to reasonably apprehend a physical injury (even before she backed-up at him she approached him with her fists displayed and said "I'm going to kick your ass," this is textbook reasonable apprehension).
Finally, and most important. DON'T make representations about what the law is. It is grossly inappropriate and your State Bar association could (and has) very rightly denied people a licence to practice law based on it. You should know that you aren't qualified to make legal representations, you know what a "Pre-Law Degree" is. Law students can't make legal representations, law graduates can't make legal representations. Only licensed lawyers can make legal representations. You are avoiding that very closely by talking about the law in general (as am I, because I no longer practice) but you are getting dangerously close to that line and being very wrong while doing so. The reason it is a big deal for you is that you are saying what the law is. You can't do that. You haven't even remotely been trained in Florida State Law, not even Law Schools train on the actual practice of any State law. In the future, you need to a) couch your fucking terms to reflect your acknowledge. Don't say "No. Assault requires..." say 'this may not be the case, the law typically requires... but I don't know because I'm not legally trained." b) not ever ever ever represent a Pre-Law Degree as a source on anything legal. It's like saying completing a high school shop class qualifies you to be an engineer.
I said a lot of stupid shit about what the law is when I was in law school, it's inevitable. Everyone who does it feels like they suddenly have joined some private club and get all these rights and responsibilities, and I got the same STFU from a lawyer for doing it. You could fuck your future up, not to mention spreading some serious ignorance about the law--don't forget that idiots refer to Reddit as if it is a real source, I've had actual clients tell me they didn't do anything wrong because the internet said so. People can actually get in trouble for thinking that this kind of behavior is not an assault.
That's a super good point in the beginning. Ever since I became licensed in my field(currently a PharmD student, so, licensed intern) I have become very cautious when giving any sort of medical advice, especially within the context of medication effects, interactions, etc. If anything, being a a subject matter expert should lead you to be even more judicious in citing sources as you can be held accountable for disseminating incorrect information or advice.
So, thanks for pointing that out. And this dude(above you) is just in a pre-law program, so he's just taking classes that are useful for getting into law school, taking the LSAT, etc. He's definitely not the expert he thinks he is.
Dude, you need to drop out of law school. When she reversed her car and swerved towards him, inciting fear and threat of bodily harm using a car, that's assault with a deadly weapon. Seriously, you're not a lawyer or a cop and you need to go read statutes instead of spouting off.
What did she say that is considered libel? As far as I'm aware libel is basically stating untrue things with the intent to damage someone's reputation... I don't believe she did that here
Libel is WRITTEN. This moron who claims he's pre-law is telling you that she published a written defamation of the kid's character and he should sue her in civil court for it by using that word. AHAHAHAHAHAHA

No, it's not in law, because I actually wanted to be employed when I grew up.

Yeah. She backed up her car and swerved it towards him. That's intent, with ability to kill, and created a well founded fear that she was going to harm him. Because the car is a deadly weapon, this escalates from a misdemeanor to a felony.

Dude, you're not a lawyer. You're delusional. Pre-law means you have like, a degree in English or Philosophy and are planning to take the LSAT so you can get into a law school. You have no legal education. You're not a cop. Your interpretation of the law is based upon no respected foundation of education or reason and is dramatically different from the established interpretations US judges have set with precedent. You're just an asshole on the internet with a big mouth, probably the same kind of person who yells at 14 year old kids for playing in the street, commits assault with a deadly weapon against them, and then tries to act like it's not a crime worth acknowledging. Stay off my streets, because I'd definitely press charges and have you jailed for threatening our neighborhood kids.
"In 2001, the five most common majors of students entering law school were political science, history, English, psychology, and criminal justice.[2] The five majors with the highest acceptance rates were physics, philosophy, biology, chemistry, and government service.[2]"
I'm pushing 30. Not only do I have more than one degree, but I don't need to whip them out and get in a dick measuring contest with a fake lawyer on the internet. Quit spouting incorrect legal advice you aren't qualified to give. Impersonating a lawyer is a crime, giving legal advice and misrepresenting yourself when you aren't qualified to do so is a crime. You're not quite there in this thread, but you're close enough that a reasonable person would infer you do in other situations in your life. Stop now, before you do so and get yourself and other people in trouble. You have a degree in knocking on doors, kissing babies, and reading polls. Since you won't be getting into law school if this is how you behave, your most likely professional outcome is a job with the federal government. They don't like to employ people with criminal records.

You didn't go to school for law. Quit calling people retarded, it's inappropriate. Learn to read. This thread happened because you can't read freely available statutes, or admit you're wrong. Then you quoted a statue clearly stating that assault does not require physical contact and tried to cherry pick to somehow claim it does. You're not a lawyer, you have no legal education, you're just an asshole on the internet.

What legitimate school offers a โPre-Law Degree,โ by the way? Serious question. Iโve heard of some offering concentrations, but not a degree.

Her plates and face are posted clear as day on a viral video. Considering she didn't actually do anything, I'd say thats justice served for being a grade A POS.
They come equipped with a potential weapon and a high tolerance for pain.
Haha, it's true.
The other day a bunch of us were legally skateboard down a side road that runs parallel to two main roads, and a car driver got pissed at us for legal stopping at a stop sign (like for real, we use stop signs to let the slower riders catch up)
Dude in a car with his lady starts yelling at us.
So we say sorry and step out of the way (most of us going onto the sidewalk) , but dude kept yelling at us.
Older longboarder with us says to him in a super calm voice, "Listen man, we are more that 20 of us in fit shape (lifts up his longboard), all with weapons. Is this really a fight you think you can win?"
Car driver just paused, then drove his car past us at top speed.
We all laughed and gave high fives to our friend, lol
Let this be a lesson to all of us. A camera phone wields the same stopping-power as a goddamned 44 Magnum. Once someone pulls it out, immediately cease what you are doing and get away
Ok they may have been on hover board. However you could see that they were in a residential area, where kids could be playing. So if she was being irresponsible and not paying attention she would be at fault.

I can imagine a situation where the kids keep milling around in the street and not clear out of the way of traffic. It's even plausible they're just trying to provoke their neighbor to get an inflammatory video.
Yeah, I am sure that the kids are not completely innocent. However it is just sad to see how this woman who is an adult acted in this situation.

It is a situation few of us have had to deal with. Kids getting a lot of lip and provoking someone as a group is pretty shocking and it's hard to come up with an appropriate response.
Your deff assuming it's all the children's fault. Where are all your assumptions that it's the adult at fault? I only see one side from your view.

Oh, mainly just to counter the near-unanimous assumption here that the adult started it and is wholly at fault. I'll just advocate the theory that maybe the kids were being a gang of confrontational little shits so they could become famous by filming a neighbor blowing up after provoking her.
Nope, I don't know that. But we don't know otherwise, the video starts after the critical context.
Yeah neither side is right. I would say that the kids were probably trying to get a reaction and she gave them what they wanted. I have experience with trying to get a reaction being a younger sibling.
On a related note, streets are not for the exclusive use of cars, especially in neighborhoods.

You never know who or what you'll be dealing within these circumstances. Some people you may encounter do have mental health issues, having a seriously bad day, or just outright don't care. Best thing to do is stop at the apology and disengage. Get away. Don't be the aggressor in any way to include speech. Doing otherwise can be construed as a lack of fear for one's self or others and potentially negate any justifications in a judicial review.
(Honestly, of all the police officers I've worked with this is the same point where they fail during a violator engagement. Take whatever enforcement action and get out of there. No matter how much lip you get after all enforcement action is done and further detention is no longer necessary or authorized.).
But he tried to do that right from the start and the lady just wouldnt let it slide. He apologized even though it wasnt his fault, he tried to end it as peacefully and as quickly as possible. After that he was still completely on the defensive side, and was very explicit that he didnt want any sort of confrontation. Sure one can always nitpick on places he could have done better, but as long as theyre humans with some level of emotion its not gonna be perfect.
That lady wanted to "win" she wanted to have the last word and he wasn't having it.
He apologized and she went ape shit
"How about you go fuck yourself"
I think recording her was the tight thing to do because she was clearly going to hit the boy, hell, even with the camera on her face she was going to hit him or even run him over with her car. She should have left before the things escalated
The boy knew his rights, you can't hit/assault a kid (stranger no less) just because its pissing you off
In a way, yes. The boy was practically letting her know that he was the one in control just by having a camera recording.... but when the video starts you can hear that the lady is already screaming so he started to record to get evidence for whatever she was trying go do, she wanted to take away his hover board and he knew he had to prove it was her but he gets mad too when she starts walking towards him with that menacing look
I ask, what was her reason? Was she gonna smash the phone to destroy the "evidence"?
Was she gonna slap the boy "like a mother would" for misbehaving?
Either way she should have stayed in place "arguing" whatever she wanted to argue, by following him like she wanted to punch him and trying to hit him with her car tells us that she handled it poorly and with so much anger.
Adults explode, we know, but that's no reason for you to go cussing and trying to hurt some teen because they're annoying you.
This reminds of the time my friends and I asked a neighbor who was going construction if we could have some of the old wood he was throwing away. He said of course. We walked it over to my friends house down the street and started building a skateboard ramp.
We had an old women basically screaming at us for "stealing" wood from the neighbor. My friend was very polite and kept saying over and over again "ma'am, I understand you're upset, but please go ask the neighbor, we took it with his permission"
"BULLSHIT! I saw you walk over there and grab it right out of trash!"
After his mom came out and told her to leave the police showed up and we had to take the ramp apart, carry the wood all the way to the neighbors house and apologize, just to have to neighbor say, "for what? I told them they could have this!"
Dealing with adults can be so frustrating as a teenager. They immediately assume you're doing something wrong...
Also, I'm pretty sure I learned in high school government classes that when something is thrown in the trash it becomes public property. Or am I wrong on that? Would we have had the right to take the wood even if we didn't ask?
This stupid trash should hide in a hole for the rest of her natural born life. Surrounded by her almost certain constant diet of Mac and cheese and mountain dew

Driving $300 of busted up 15 year old Toyota, massive thigh tattoo, ridiculous fake tits, has not managed to maintain the body she had when she got them, standing in the street arguing with a 14yr old, and OF COURSE driving with no shoes on.
Right, so by adding the modifier "fat" to the noun, you are saying that they are fat, even when compared to the level of fattiness that would be expected under normal circumstances.
I also think people have a predisposition against being barefoot in public rather than safety concerns. Her entire presentation is bad enough, but the fact she is barefoot in the road kind if sets it off.
I thought she kicked them off in prep for some throw down, which is even worse. It means she is prepared and ready and familiar with this kind of bullshit. Ready to throw down with a fucking child

They have open government laws that make information like arrests and public records super easy to access. This means that reporters can get a lot of information on weird ass crimes, and since weird stories get attention, they tend to write about them a lot. This combined with Florida's large population means that we get a lot of stories about "a Florida man" doing something bizarre, and since Florida's kinda unremarkable otherwise it stuck and earned them the reputation of being trashy/weird.

This is a pretty judgemental comment. The only thing you can truly say is not classy are her actions. Tattoo, car, and large breasts are not necessarily indicative of class.

I mean. In general, sedans with broken blinker lenses are not super classy (this is coming from someone whos sedan is from 1992 and only has one working speaker, but no broken lenses)
Amen, I drive a 25 year old beast of an ancient Benz and its classy AF. Of course, it's also maintained. I was gonna say well-maintained but I think any maintenance at all would benefit that Camry.
I was thinking it might be one of those times where we feel like it's not really as long as as it was, like thinking the 80s were 20 years ago or that a 1997 jeep was just 10 years ago instead of 20.

Well, to be fair, you could a nice person and work really hard and life can still screw you up. Not everyone can be successful enough to afford a brand new car. Or heck, it could be even like an older car someones has lying around.
Umm yes. It has all of those things. Let me tell you, she isnt the best driver in the world. At a certain point getting it replaced is more than the car is worth. Still works like a charm though.
I know I replied to you elsewhere already, but sometimes things happen out of our control, and especially for cosmetic car damage repair, these things take low priority.
Most people don't have the cash for unexpected car repairs.
Having a dent is nothing to be ashamed about, especially if it happened at no fault of your own.
May not be a "classy" car, but that's not something to judge the character of a person on.
I can immediately think of someone really close to me who worked 12 hour factory shifts to squeak by and support his 4 daughters, but it was barely enough and he had an old Toyota hatchback that served him well, until some troublemaking kids in the neighbourhood decided to drive grocery carts into all the cars in the parking lot, and smash his back hatch in.
He didn't have the money to fix it, no one was ever caught, so he ended driving a beaten up old Toyota hatchback, that ended up rusting, and looking very sorry. Still one of the most classiest and giving men I know, and is a safe driver, none of the damage was his fault.
You start of with saying "I respect that people do what they can to get by" and then immediately jump to "at her age [its] not classy."
What does age have to do with it?
For all we know she's a hardworking single mom, who bought a used car cause that's all she could afford, and had a particularly bad day, reacted very poorly, went home and immediately felt shame and guilt, and tried to do something positive to account for it.
Maybe she went whereever she was going and continued giving attitude and learnt nothing.
Either way, the car really doesn't say much at all.

Very true, but that's just a choice some people choose to make. My coworker is still driving his '88 Toyota, and it's running beautifully. I'm just saying that a car being old shouldn't be an instant 'oh that person isn't classy'
Obviously every car is different, and it's a whole different deal if they take care of their car, but age just isn't the worst thing ever.

You can't apply the same brake pressure barefeet compared to wearing appropiate footwear in emergency situation, thus you are endangering other road users. I know driving barefeet is illegal in Germany for that reason edit: or rather, if you're involved in an accident while driving bare feet, you're in deep shit
you cant apply the same break pressure barefeet compared to wearing appropiate footware.

Well that's entirely dependent on if you're able to bottom out the brake isn't it? If I can push the brake in all the way barefoot what difference does it make?
Acc87 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 16:37:45 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I see you're not aware how a brake pedal works. Hint: Travel โ pressure
That doesn't even make sense. Why would you not be about to apply the same breaking pressure? Driving with shoes on is the same as driving with winter gloves on, I can do both fine but I have more control with bare hands/feet.
I regularly workout barefoot, both weightlifting and running. I usually drive with shoes on just because it's inconvenient to take them off unless I'm going on a long trip, but I defiantly feel safer driving barefoot.
Do you leave the house with shoes and then just take them off in the car, or do you just leave without shoes at all? Where would you be going barefoot?
It's not the driving that's the problem - it's more a suggestion for what happens if you get into an incident. Imagine a fender bender and there is broken glass all around your car and you need to get out.
Now in your case you'd have swampy shoes you could put on, but what if you needed to put them on quickly and couldn't? Or you broke an arm somehow and aren't able to?
I know, crazy situations that would never happen, but that's the point of being prepared. Driving shoeless can be fine if things go smoothly, but it's a preventative measure in case things don't.
For me, it's like driving in the winter without a jacket with you. Sure, your car is heated and you don't even plan to get out. But what happens if it breaks down and you need to get out? You'd want that jacket.
TL;DR Just because something is legal, doesn't mean it's the best practice and an all-encompassing solution. Just be prepared for the unexpected.
Not illegal but still gross. Like walking in a garage station bathroom with no shoes

I barefoot drive all the time. I automatically remove shoes to drive. It's more comfortable, and I get better pedal feel. And also my feet are extra wide so with shoes on it makes it awkward to drive.
I do this, too. I don't think it should be illegal.

Didn't realize one thigh tattoo made you trash. Those are 100% real boobs. And she was driving with shoes on. You can see her pick them up off the ground. Your comment makes you sound even trashier than she is.
Around here, regardless of miles or condition, if a honda or toyota turns over, it's AT LEAST $1000. If it makes it through a test drive without dying you're looking at $1500. That ~97 camry with a beat up fender and 200,000 miles would be an easy $2500.
No lie I see 20+ year old civics on craigslist with beat up interior and exterior, no engine, and they're asking $800.
She picked her flip flops up before she got back in the car and threw them in. So she literally took her flip flops off to walk toward this child in the streets... ๐
She has flip flops which you can see towards the end of the video as she is picking them up. Also, when you wear flip flops is better driving barefoot, than wearing them.
Haha no I think she actually picks her shoes up (around 2:00) when she gets back in the car. She threw those bitches off when she got out of the car. She was ready for a Jerry Springer smackdown.

The boy got very heated, and I suppose he really could have just literally walked away at any moment and the problem would have just ended. But he didn't want to be walked over, and literally nothing he did was against the law (except possibly whatever he did on his board before the video started, which was likely just a mistake). He stood his ground and made logical arguments, and kept his phone running knowing he wouldn't be assaulted as long as he kept it running.
I know he didn't "win" anything, but I respect the way he handled it. He never insulted the woman's physical appearance, her car, or her lack of intelligence, like everyone else is doing here. All he ever did was criticize her actions, which is what matters.
Highfire ยท 163 points ยท Posted at 14:48:30 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
If it's how he generally conducts himself, I can see why he'd stand his ground. Lots of adults seem to relish in their adulthood when there's a chance to "let it shine" in a conversation (or conflict) with an adolescent. If he ended up dealing with much of that growing up, he's probably just a bit fed up with people trying to assert their opinion as near-fact just because they're older or more experienced.
It would also explain why he only criticised her actions and not her. It's not about who she is, it's about what she did.
Beyond that, him getting heated is not really a problem to me. He controlled the situation really well and I can understand how pissed off I would be if I was put in that situation. Nearly hitting you with a car (or at least not making any effort to make sure you don't get hit) and telling you that you have no respect would rightfully infuriate just about anyone.
Unfortunately he took the approach of the 'Stand your ground' abusers when he calmly stated, "I'm in fear of my life", yet did nothing to get away from that situation. Police should have been involved if he was that fearful of getting assaulted.
The events unfolded rather quickly. Every time he thought it was over she tried reversing after him and re-engaging with him. It's not fair to say a 14 year old should've called the cops in this ~5minute altercation where (honestly) beyond being driven over, she didn't pose much of a threat (judging by appearance he most likely could've out run her).
Police aren't going to be there to help you within the time-frame of the events that transpired. The time he would've spent with dispatch was used to continue defending himself, leaving the police free to take care of more important matters.

When seconds matter, the polices are only minutes away.
Either she was going to attack him, and then he could defend himself and call the police afterwards to arrest her (or pick up her corpse), or she wasn't and a police call would be a waste of time.
Good decent people don't need to "get away" from situations where they aren't doing anything wrong or illegal.
If I were in 'fear of losing my life', I would be getting away from that situation as fast as possible. Should it matter who is right or wrong? Police can be taken video of the first part of the confrontation at a time when it is safe.

I think it's ridiculously important that more and more kids develop similar ways of conducting themselves when in the face of shitty adults, and shitty people in general. I never would have had the balls to do this as a kid, and it's left me as a meek, miserable adult. I have hope for the current generation of young people
Can confirm -- I'm 20 now, people tell me that when they talk to me they think I'm older (so maturity I guess), but I've been exactly the same person since I was 15. If anything messed me up in life it was being treated as a child with no autonomy or substance to my life for 3+ years of basically being a mental adult.
The kid didn't swear or go after her because he was filming and would've looked bad to his parents later on if he had to show the video. I'd like to think without the video he would've been a normal 14 year old telling her to fuck off.
It would've been really easy to make fun of her appearance or cuss her out, but he handled it very maturely for being that heated, and you can tell at the end of the video that he was just really peeved and wouldn't stand for the harrasment just because she's an adult.
And he could have walked away and not engaged her further, but also bear in mind he's 14, and certainly doesn't have the same logical capacity as an adult should have. The fact that he remained mostly calm by comparison and she continued to go back to the argument because a fourteen-year-old was "goading" her speaks to her immaturity rather than his maturity. Because quite frankly I don't expect a fourteen-year-old to be mature. They're still a child as far as I'm concerned.
I agree with you here. I replied to another comment saying that it probably could have ended a lot sooner if they weren't egging each other on. Not that the kid did anything wrong. But that's a good point you bring up, at least he didn't insult her personally. Because it could have easily gone that way. He has more restraint than the people here on reddit. She wasn't in the right either.
The kid could have actually been his own worst enemy here. He kept his phone running, yes, but he also baited the woman to assault him. If I tell you to hit me, and then you hit me, it's probably not going to hold up real well when the police gets involved. If he wasn't a minor, this could have gone very wrong for him.

The tone is clearly not him actually encouraging her to hit him. It's more him pointing out that if she actually did hit him, she was going to regret it. A lot of times when people say "I dare you", it's to emphasize how stupid they're being.
I'm not a lawyer though. But cops and juries aren't just robots who can't understand context. No matter what, the woman would have still have assaulted him.
He definitely should have avoided using that language though. It wouldn't have helped him in any case although if it had become a case, she still would have been crucified. Especially backing up WITHOUT turning when he was right behind her.
Frankly I think he should have called the cops about someone road raging.

He continuously escalated the situation rather than descalate it.
"keep walking towards me, do something do something" At this point he's goading her on to physically attack him. If he was in that situation and behaved that way with someone who kept it real like him, it could've went a lot worse.
In that situation, you shut the fuck up and move away from the person. The kid is setting himself to live his life like this:

I see what you're saying, but I do think the intent of the boy wasn't to goad her so he'd have an excuse to fight her or even get her arrested. I think the intent of the boy was to let her know she's doing something risky.

I agree. Definitely two Type A personalities going at each other.
Lmao you respect this?? He's clearly out looking for an argument and trying to make himself look good on camera by forcedly saying "Have a nice day!" over and over when it really wasn't appropriate to say it. He basically said it to taunt her, but at the same time trying to act like a saint. Truly the worst type of little shit in my opinion.
Now I know if a middle schooler has an attitude with me, I as the adult, don't have to be the bigger person. I can instead drive in reverse at them, cuss them out, and threaten them by beating my own hands. If that doesn't work I can threaten to tell his parents and threaten to ruin their stuff.
For fuck's sake, I'm not saying what the retarded lady did was right at all, the fact that she's an idiot is out of the question. The whole situation is idiotic and pointless

Most of my life people have walked all over me. I'm just starting to really speak out when I think people are being unfair to me. So I do think that the conflict would have resolved much more quickly if the kid stepped away, but, regardless, the kid never did anything wrong, and he stood up for himself. I respect that, and I do think it is important to stick up for yourself. It's important for yourself, your own mental health. Therefore, he definitely gets my sympathy.
If he was truly the worst little shit he would have insulted her, maybe even attacked her or her car.

I think the kid probably got a lot of respect online for how he handled it, and that it will be a good lesson for him and others on how to stand up to authority in a controlled way.
I don't think there was any attempt to try and make a viral video here... You can see he started the camera after she had probably said something and if anything were to happen, he wanted to make sure it was recorded.

When they have a means to destroy you or otherwise engage with force. Authority is either commanded out of respect or force or both and this lady was a fat force to be reckoned with, until she got outwitted by a 14 year old.
The kid was about ready to let it go and be the better person ("you have a great day") when the woman backed up towards him as he was crossing the street. I'd say a little bit of sass on his part is justified at that point.

I love that you apparently can't understand that both can be in the wrong. The lady is of course way off, but that doesnt mean that the boy couldn't have handled it better. But then again, its pretty childish to demonstratively stand your ground for no other reason than being right.
Again, he's 14. Youre expecting him to settle this dispute like a 30 year old? The bitch was swearing, yelling, and reversed towards him in a way that would get most kids and adults nerves fired up. Yet he kept his cool. He handled this WAY better than most people would.
What was the event that triggered it all?
Sure, she handled the situation like a dumbass, that's incontrovertible. But what situation? What happened before the boy started shooting the video?
What if, for example, the kids were riding their bikes in the road, pulling wheelies and stuff, and nearly got knocked over? She'd be upset, and faced with a crowd of kids full of righteous indignation, would get angry. The escalation would be stupid, pointless, and the acts of the kid would only escalate the situation further, not diffuse it. Stupid reaction from her, but more understandable.
I'm not saying that that is what happened, I'm not saying that the kid is entirely wrong. What I'm saying is that people don't walk around like that all the time.
Shit happened off-camera that no-one here knows about.
All I hear her say is "you guys were in the road." She never made mention of a close-call or any other situation. It's all on camera. Not sure how you can conclude that there is understanding to be had on her part. I've been triggered before and I was wrong, too
Well, go ahead and create whatever scenario you want. She never said anything remotely like "do you know how close I was to hitting you?". Kids simply being in the road is enough to trigger certain people. No reason to think anything else happened here. Even if it did, you find her how she reacted to be an understandable response?
Well, go ahead and create whatever scenario you want
I don't need to. All I'm saying is that we don't know what the scenario was exactly. No more than that. There is uncertainty.
Even if it did, you find her how she reacted to be an understandable response?
Again, I don't know, because I don't know what her response was a reaction to. Uncertainty.
You have seen that film, seen her being an asshole, and without knowing exactly what preceded this scene, assumed the kids have done little wrong to engender that particular reaction.
Now, to clarify, I'm not saying they have done something that would engender that particular reaction. All I'm saying is that because we don't actually know what what done and said before that clip, assuming that the women is 100% the cause is an assumption.
My original comment was that 'I don't think the kid is entirely blameless'. By which I mean that I don't think the kids where just doing nothing at all, and then this angry women just opened up on them.
And like I mentioned elsewhere, we are all very lucky our less-than-desirable moments in public weren't caught on video. We've all been triggered at one time or another
Even I thought he was being condescending at first until I heard him say sorry, I don't think she heard or realized it until after. Like to me it sounded like he was basically saying "whatever lady, fuck off, have a good day"

I'm in the US (Florida) and drive a manual barefoot when I'm wearing sandals/flip-flops because the heel gets stuck on the carpet sometimes. I shift gears fine but my left foot will get sore after while.

As someone that only drives stick there is no issue driving manual with no shoes. Safer than trying to drive in flip flops so I just take them off.
Something tells me there might be some history here. These videos that start right in the middle of some conflict...ehhhhh, I'm skeptical that there are any innocents in this one.
She says at some point they need to stay out of the road. The kids have bikes and hover boards so they were likely riding them in the road.
To speculate further: she probably came around the curve too fast and nearly hit a kid and thus the video ensues
From the video it looks like a Cul de sac, meaning essentially a dead end road. it's literally one of the safest roads to play on because cars can ONLY come from one direction, and no one has any reason to go down there except the residents.
Yet this lovely specimen has a reason to yell at children, so it's all good....
I've lived on a cup-de-sac my entire life (as a kid and as a parent), and while yes, they are typically safe, there are 2 pretty big issues with them:
Residents who live on cul-de-sacs almost always assume that there is no traffic in the street, so they burn rubber hauling ass-backwards out of their driveway (if I had to guess, I'd say this is likely what spurred the conflict in the video -- the lady appears to live on that street).
People who do NOT live on the cup-de-sac treat it as their own personal U-Turn, which wouldn't be an issue, except usually they're conducting the U-Turn because they missed a turn and are pissed about it, so they barrel down the street at 40-50 MPH.

Not totally true. Cul De Sacs are used to turn around for obvious reasons.
Sorry but I can tell you from experience that a Cul de sac does have two way traffic, otherwise vehicles would stack up pretty fast.. or the limited vehicles would eventually empty out of the Cul de sac. :)
I think what you meant was that it is a no through road so nobody "with sense" goes fast. This woman has neither sense nor grace, nor intelligence.
As mentioned, I'm skeptical. I'm not saying that's not what happened, just saying that maybe the kids were antagonizing her to make a YouTube video they could post. One could say that probably anything could have spurred this altercation. Still skeptical.
Lets assume the worst for the kids, and they were intentionally playing in the street to fuck with drivers. She's still the adult. And if she hit one of them, it'd still be on her.
The correct response was to honk, wait for them to get out of the way, and proceed with her life.
I don't think assumptions and possibilities are fair assessments as to what preceded this. I do agree she is an adult and should be taking the high road. Would you agree that it's also possible that these kids are the neighborhood assholes? I mean, one kid does spit on the lady's car.
Possible, but this lady lost any moral high ground she had as soon as she backed up, got out, and started walking towards one of the kids. Why come out of your car and start an altercation with a bunch of kids? Whether they were assholes or not is truly irrelevant.
You contradict yourself, if they plan on making a video then you see the start middle and end of this nonsense. If you are doing your kid stuff and shit goes sour, you pull out your phone to help provide some protection from asshole lady, thus you end up with just the middle and end.
she probably came around the curve too fast and nearly hit a kid and thus the video ensues
That's some pretty heavy speculation...

She says at some point they need to stay out of the road.
And if you look at the surroundings of the video, you'll notice that it's a residential area with no sidewalks. Where else are the kids supposed to go? I guess she thinks they should just stay inside playing video games all day instead of going out and enjoying the nice weather.
She did say they were in the road. My neighbors never had a problem with us playing in the road. Children's should be safe and encouraged to play outside....keeping a look out for cars of course.
you can play outside without playing in a road. a friend of mine was hit playing in the street when we were kids. They were too busy playing to see the car was coming around a bend. It's just a sad loss for everyone. Yes the driver could have been driving better, but as a parent, I wouldn't want one mistake to cost me the loss of my child.
I get what you are saying about us not knowing what happened before the recording started and it's a valid point, but you make it sound kind of nefarious that these videos just conveniently start in the middle of a conflict.
Most of us aren't walking around recording 24/7 so aren't going to capture the beginnings of confrontations.
Judging by dumb stuff I would do as a kid and by what I see kids today doing, they probably were internationally playing chicken with her car or trying to get in her way/annoy her.
Then when she starts to get really heated, you start recording and give sarcastically polite comments acting like you did nothing wrong.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
It was probably like she might've almost ran one of them over.
The lady may have been driving a bit faster than she was suppose to in a residential street....and the kids may have not been paying attention to clear the road to let her pass in a reasonable amount of time.
It's really about compromise here.
Clear the way if you see a car coming, honk or stop and wave to let them clear if they aren't paying attention, and don't drive fast in a residential street.
And kids should remember, that if an idiot driver hits them-no matter how fucked up the driver is- they are usually going to be the one who sustains more injuries...not the person in the car. So it's in their best interest to watch out for themselves for idiot drivers. Of course again, drivers shouldn't be idiots to begin with either so it does go both ways.

Most videos start like this. If they started before the conflict, you would be even more suspicious. Because you would wonder why they were filming if nothing was happening and if it was set up.

Except for the fact that she's an adult and they're children. In my mind, the children (even if acting childish) are innocent. I'm not saying they weren't being shitheads because they might have been (we've all been 14 year old shitheads at one point in our life) but the adult isn't supposed to then assault them for it.
The history is he's filming her. That's where it always starts with these arguments. Chances are if he hadn't been doing that she'd have just driven off and we wouldn't have had a four minute argument that he could upload to youtube when he got home.

Two idiots. You're over-complimenting the kid, as all he does is try to overtalk the idiot woman, say the same things over and over, and still doesn't listen to the only reasonable thing the idiot woman is saying about being in the road. They're both idiots.
Maybe it's just my observation coming from Germany, but I feel like a ton of Americans are just waiting to unleash their "righteous fury" upon anyone who just wrongs them in the slightest. That's why Trump presidency almost feels like revenge votes from the right, because it's not about being responsible adults anymore, it's about indulging your base feelings like a fucking child.
Oh yeah, then an actual child shows you up and of course no further reflection is triggered by that.
American citizen here, your response is not helping your case, actually quite to the contrary, you seem to be playing into my argument.
But no, instead of using your unique position to leverage some good, it's more interesting to do some grandstanding and boasting, because of course with great responsibility comes great arrogance and callous behavior.
I don't care. There's no reason for this moron to take shots at Americans for no reason at all. This isn't about Americans as a people, it's about an annoying woman that exists in every society. Look how badly and desperately you want acceptance from euros. Just like a euro to take a shot at Americans as a people when they aren't they subject of the video.
I just think it's indicative of a larger cultural problem in the US, how the macho shoot first ask questions later mentality permeates many layers of American society.

Yeah, crazy macho Americans who'd just start shooting people if women were being publicly gang raped like in Germany, instead of asking self hating questions about themselves like the good little Germans.
I think it's a cultural problem how effeminate European men are. Spineless and pushovers. I can talk about shit that got nothing to do with the video too
I don't think he was taking a shot at his fellow Americans at all....just the ones who were stupid enough to rage vote for Trump. Look at you getting all defensive so easily and unleashing that righteous scorn! You're making his point for him.
I don't give a damn to be honest. I don't like when Euro morons think they are superior to us when they think about us all day and take shots at every opportunity they can. Then you got sellouts like you who desperately seek acceptance from them and agree with them even if their sentiment has nothing to do with the subject. Seriously? Talking about trump in this video? It's pathetic and typical Euro behavior. You want acceptance so badly you wouldn't dare criticize them either and just take their shit like a bitch

Germany huh? Your anti-rape underwear in a twist today?
This looks like Florida. This kid is lucky he has a phone. It may have stopped her from getting physical. When I was a youngster is Florida we had a similar situation with a neighbor. No cell phone cameras back then so the guy chased us down the sidewalk in his car. But not after we taunted him first. The cops just said leave him alone. Makes me chuckle. The 90's where different times!
Children have been playing in the street centuries before the advent of the horseless carriage. Motorists are so entitled they flip out when anyone else uses the road.
If you're a 14 year old, awkward back and forth is a part of your daily life. It's a learning experience. If you're 14 years old you have 5 arguments as annoying as this before lunch time every day.
In a couple years, you look back and say "Hey, remember that big argument we had about whether Bionic or Kung-Fu is stronger? That was stupid and embarrassing for both of us. Let's never do that again." 14 year olds have these experiences so that when they're 16 or 18 they'll be slightly less awkward.
If you're 44 years old and still doing this, you've failed somewhere along the way.
I definitely agree, this woman is clearly in the wrong and should have just moved on with the "teenagers will be teenagers" reassurance. But it feels like people are praising this kid for simply reiterating verses he has heard on YouTube and passive-agressively telling her to have a nice day while his friends spit on her car. And of course when she gets close to him he yells assault, yet continues to do the same to her throughout the video. Neither should be commended.
BTW cunt your motor is about to blow up from the sound of those valves so have fun with that shit. Maybe pay attention to your oil changes instead of harassing teenagers and you won't have to replace your POS cars every 2 years.
Lol.....there are a million on YouTube that tell every story I could rely on here. Search for "stupid, crazy bitch at work" and you see classic examples. Who doesn't work with an overweight, butt-ugly, less than zero confident female that draws her eyebrows on, can't figure out why she can't lose weight, cant understand why her neighbors HATE her wuvable pit bill (qho kills neighborhood pets when it gets out). I'd say these bitches need to be put in their place, BUT no concern - they are already suffering. We should pity them instead.
I think we can do better than commenting on her physical appearance. Say this post was about her being made fun of for that reason. Then everyone here would be defending her saying she doesn't look that bad, and that it's bullshit that we tie a woman's worth to her physical appearance and to fuck the haters and all that.
But because she did a bad thing, that all goes out the window. We get to say that she's "top-heavy" and make fun of her for driving barefoot, and snark at her tattoo, say she has either fake or fat boobs... Like, that kind of stuff is still bullshit.
First of all it's hilarious he says "what's wrong with people these days" as if he's old enough to have lived through a better time when people didn't act like this.
Second, if this was my kid, I'd be super proud. He handled that well and stood his ground. Bitch be crazy.
Neighbourhood kids were playing on my drive way over the weekend. I was driving my car out, and one ducked out in front of me on their bike, I was furious. Still, I managed to be polite, and asked them to not be so silly, and to be more careful, or they could get hurt. Why couldn't this woman just do the same?
Just disgusting. Kudos to the kid, crazy mad kudos.
I live in a gated community and one day I park my car out by the pond to watch some YouTube and have a smoke (I don't smoke in my house). I'm sitting there in broad daylight and a ~60 something year old neighbor with his wife confronted me asking me who I was and what I was doing there. I said I'm enjoying the day and I live here. He didn't believe me at all and walked around my car taking a picture of my license plate and employee parking stickers to see where I worked. I was shaking I wanted to get out of my car and shove him. He started cursing at me while his wife stood there approvingly. I told him to step away from my car and rolled up my window.
I now see that guy weekly while driving through the community and not once has he tried to apologize nor does he look remorseful. I'm his fucking neighbor and he treated me like some low life outsider to his perfect world.
Some people are just too stupid to argue with or confront with the intent of anything being solved. That neighbor threatened to call the sheriff, the sheriff! For what? I'm in my car in my neighborhood.
This video just reminded me of that interaction. This woman needs counseling.
I think everyone is giving the kid too much credit. It doesn't show what happened before he started recording. He wouldn't do anything on his camera to make himself look bad. Everyone is wrong here imo. There should be no takeaways from the video other than "haha Florida people".
Yeah really, everyone is praising the kid when all he did was escalate.

Her backing up and then getting out of her car multiple times escalated it far more than anything he did. I mean it's obvious they were doing stupid shit before though but she should know better she's over twice his age

You could say the same about anyone in any heated situation. No excuse to act like that to a kid and it's not the kids fault if it is one of those days
You can experience good behaviour and still be badly behaved. Both are "personal experience" in this case he was projecting his bad behaviours onto someone else.
You want someone to judge behaviour from personal experience. You can experience others behaviour and you can experience your own behaviour. These are distinct from each other. Op guy says he was a "cunt" (presumably when he was 14 or so) and recognises his behaviour as such and projects that behaviour onto someone else.
He was like that at 14.
Other people have different behaviour patterns at 14 presumably not all of them are "cunts" yet dude mcDude assumes kid was behaving like himself at that age. Clearly there is a spectrum of behaviour.
If you can't grasp this then I have no further need to waste my time, have a great day.
So "mcDude" thinks the kid was insincere based on his own personal experience, we've already established that.
It's you who hasn't shown any evidence that isn't true. In fact the only thing you've done is belittle him and say he's projecting while (again) giving no evidence that is the case.
I don't need to prove kid was or wasn't I simply said dude mc dude was projecting based on him thinking the kid was a cunt and him saying he had been a cunt himself as a kid.
Nothing controversial there. Unless of course English comprehension is difficult?
And I said, the guy is just saying the kid was insincere based on personal experience. Do we need to get restate the entire conversation to the point where I questioned if your comment made any sense? Talk about english comprehension.... or were you just mentioning projecting in an attempt to learn what it may or may not be? Because your declaration of it certainly doesn't make it so.
Nono the point is because you're backing out of the debate. Whatever that debate is we've clearly taken opposite sides and clearly you're giving up. Thus the field is mine to claim! *Plants flag of victory
Reproaching when she walked away and repeatedly engaging in the argument is escalating.
[deleted] ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 16:05:10 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
He tried to end the situation by apologizing and she freaked out and he defended himself. She is the one that continuously escalated by threatening to take his phone and constantly approaching.
I also don't think it's the responsibility of a child to deescalate the temper tantrum of a grown ass woman. You are expecting a lot out of a 14 year old.
I didn't watch the whole thing, but from what I saw, his "Have a nice day" felt like he was mocking her, not because he actually meant it. Reapproaching and continuing to talk is not trying to end the situation, it is escalating, as I said.
I didn't expect either of these two to properly handle it and they didn't. Thus, they were both wrong, being a kid excusing one from responsibility, not from being wrong.
I agree, chances are the kids or atleast his friends were not so polite before the recording started. Still though no matter what the woman was horribly in the wrong.

Reddit thinks one of the people in this video is making "Surprisingly intelligent responses"...
It's not worth writing a cogent argument on this point myself, so I'll just quote Mr. Twain: "Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience."
I've done that a bunch when I pick my girlfriend up from work. I'm on my feet all day and when I leave work I just want them to breathe. More comfortable
It's very unhygienic - the amount of bacteria your feet picks up from just walking to your car and back is unfathomable. I won't even mention the pedals... You can wear flip flops or sandals and your feet can still breathe.

Honestly, both of them were annoying and trying to provoke each other, the difference is there is nothing surprising about the 14yr old's response, but that woman should know better than to back her car toward a boy filming her.
Seriously, she's lucky she didn't hit anyone while trying to scare them. But is no one talking about how the kids are playing in the middle of the road? That seems to be what started the whole argument.
It's completely normal for kids in the U.S to play on neighborhood streets. One kid usually looks out and yells "Car!" when one is coming. The kids probably should have paid better attention while in the road, but nothing that the woman did was remotely acceptable.

Anyone who actually thinks that is an idiot, he should know these things by 14. The beached whale in the video certainly makes him look smarter though.
That's not the sound of anger, that's the sound of stress.
His repetition is stress-response.
He would have been better to just walk away, obviously, but a stress-response like that, squawking like a parrot sounding an 'I'm scared' alarm is way better than a teenager barking like an angry dog looking for a fight.
I believe him, and I believe he believes himself when he says, "I'm not tough". This is his way of protecting himself, and I think he did a decent job.
He wasn't particularly intelligent, or surprisingly intelligent for that matter, but I don't actually think he was being mouthy or trying to escalate the situation.
yeah I remember me at 14 I wouldn't have backed down , probably would have thrown insults at her too when you're under 18 you're mostly "invincible" against adults because you know they can't hit you.
In fact I think I would have made everything to make her more angry. I was not as "mature" as he is
Yeah the adult in the car definitely shouldn't have driven away, nope she was definitely in the right reversing back to those kids twice, totally and completely in the right, the kids were totally the ones that should have disengaged. Damn kids.
That's a strawman arguement, nobody is suggesting that. Yeah she should have known better and driven off but he could have just walked away too. He kept aggravating the situation by acting so cocky and continuously filming her and saying stuff like "lets get that license plate". Had he walked away he would have come off looking much better than he does in the video, but again he's 14 and she should have taken the responsibility to drive away too.
No that is the truth. An adult has more responsibility to do the right thing or act maturely than a child does. The kid wasn't perfect but the lady was completely in the wrong
It's a straw man arguement because you are assuming that /u/simmonjam1 is saying that the woman is totally innocent in this situation just because he said the boy should have walked away. Yes she has the responsibility to walk away but at 14 years old you're perfectly capable of making your own decisions and he could have taken the responsibility and been the bigger man. He shouldn't have to, but that doesn't mean he couldn't.
He kept aggravating the situation by acting so cocky
Being right=being cocky?
and continuously filming her and saying stuff like "lets get that license plate".
If someone was threatening me, I'd want it on camera, and I'd definitely get the plates. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Had he walked away he would have come off looking much better than he does in the video, but again he's 14 and she should have taken the responsibility to drive away too.
Its hard to walk away when a car will just follow you back down the street.
It seems to me like he wanted her to do something, as if trying to get a rise out of her, that's why he seems cocky. He could have just stopped at any of the points she got in the car but he kept talking and filming, egging her on further. And how do you know she wouldn't have just driven off had he not kept filming? She clearly wanted the last word and so did he, neither of them come off very mature.
Seems like the group of kids were using their hover boards in the street.

Is it legal in America to specifically film one person in the street? Not the first time I see videos on Reddit in which someone "denounces" some misbehavior by filming the scene and Reddit is getting its pitchforks. I would be pissed if someone was filming me in the street because (s)he decided I did something wrong.
Yes it is perfectly legal. Anytime you are in public space, you have the right to film whoever or whatever you want as long as what you are filming is not illegal in itself (such as filming up women's skirts). One of the advantages to the law being as such is that when you are caught in a situation such as this you can record the events and not have to worry about getting in trouble and are able to provide proof of the interaction should you need it. Being that the kids are so young, had they or their parents gone to the police, it would have been a "he said, she said" situation where they most likely would have believed the adult. But now they have video evidence of the encounter. If you're being filmed and dont like it, then leave.

In public it's usually legal. You can't do it on private property though.
It never comes. It's a trashy lady, who was probably pissed off for something stupid 14 year olds did, yelling at a group of dumb ass kids who are acting holy, until she tries to leave, then he follows her.
I have strong feeling that the 14 year old with 'the follow me on instagram' message in the video is not as innocent as he portrays. And man is he good at baiting her.
So the 14 year old was in the right. But honestly, he could have ended the conflict much earlier by just letting her drive off the first time without trying to have the last word.
For fuck's sake, what a pointless altercation. Obviously it's even worse for a grown adult to get involved in meaningless shit-flinging like this, but juat walk away already, kid, instead of deliberately trying to provoke people for no reason. Literally just shut up and leave is what I wanted to say to everyone involved throughout.
Why you are going to risk getting arrested, possibly lose your job, and face civil lawsuits for petty shit? Yeah, the majority of the time people who do this aren't going to sue or get the cops involved. All it takes is the wrong person to mess up your life and your ego is going to let that happen.
But what's the point in getting involved in shit like this? What's the purpose of it? Why waste time and effort arguing over pettiness when you could just... not?

That comment was kind of out of left field. I am a 62 year old man that only wears shoes if forced to. To me the stuff that grows in your shoes and makes your feet stink is gross. Feet like your hands by themselves are not gross, shoes have horrible germs growing in them and also the pressure they put on your skin and bones deform our feet.
Shoes on the other hand like gloves are tool and in some ways are needed. In Arizona right now, shoes are almost life savers.
I understand why you might think bare feet are gross, feet you are used to seeing stink and are deformed, and you were probably taught by society to feel that way. Kinda Brainwashed.
Just because I'm an old guy, that does not make me right, please don't be offended by anything I said.
I don't think bare feet on their own are gross. However, I do think that shoes offer better protection against whatever is on that ground she is walking on. That is what disturbs me. I'm no feet fetishist but on their own, they don't gross me out, just the idea of spits, washed away piss or worse and whatever else is sitting on the road is being stepped on and latched to her feet. I probably should have expanded in my original comment.
I can see how you might think that. In reality though, much of what we worry about does not hurt us unless we already have something else wrong with our feet. Back a hundred years ago, my grandmother used to step in cow manure to warm up her feet because they could not afford shoes to work in. She was very healthy and lived to almost a 100.
I wasn't just kidding about the germs in shoes. Because of the humidity and skin cells in your shoes, germs that are very harmful to humans grow there. That is why I make sure that I always wear clean socks if I have to wear closed toe shoes. At least I have that between the germs and my feet.
If you have to wear shoes, as much as you can, wear something that is not tight and is open to the air. If you do wear closed toe shoes, wash your feet before you put them on, wear clean socks, and wash off the germs after taking them off. If you do that, you will cut down the damage the shoe does to your feet.
She pops them off when she gets out of the car, you see her toss em in the car at some point, flip flops are not for fighting in, she clearly planned on hitting that kid.

It is not illegal to drive barefoot, in any state...I never understood why people think this. Some states have recommendations, however none have a law requiring you to wear anything.

there was a big thread about this the other day. it's prefectly legal to drive without shoes almost everywhere.
She's chunky at most, and hella big tits. Tits stick out well over her stomach. Truly fat people have a stomach that's close to as far out as boobs. And no being skinny doesn't just mean you have abs. I work my ass off for mine! Well I would have if I ever had one to work off.

The whole issue was they were blocking the road so she couldn't drive through. But it's hard to tell for sure because the recording started half way through the incident suspiciously.

What would be an unsuspicious time to start filming? lol
It's a good point I take back that smart ass part i wrote. That being said we still only saw half of it and he basically admitted his friends were blocking the road.
And even if they were she is still an immature adult who argued with a child and treated to take his phone and attempted to hit him with her car. Doesn't matter what they were doing.
It could have ended so much sooner, but they were both provoking each other further, by not only trying to get the last word, but also by approaching each other numerous times.
The 14 yr old could have stood his ground, but actually got close to her when she was at her car door. Plus they outnumbered her. If they did that to a cop during an argument, he'd be on the ground. Not saying he meant to do any harm, but it easily could have been perceived that way.
Word of wisdom: Just shake your head and go on about your day. Let her dumb ass yell all she wants; don't feed the troll.
+1 - it is kinda strange that it is legal. (i know people in the US have different opinion about that) Filming people Filming people 2 Filming people 3 In other countries, you are allowed to film, but not allowed to release it. you need the permission...
+1 - Always good to balance it out with the DFW video. This is one of the all time best you may come across in your lifetime. (IMHO). She may have a father she's taking care with Alzheimer's. She's really not looking too healthy, sounds not highly educat...
I'm a bot working hard to help Redditors find related videos to watch. I'll keep this updated as long as I can.
TL:didn't finish. However, this kid is going to need to learn that deescalation skills will get him farther than hoping for a viral video. At least by traditional measures anyway, who knows these days?
Not wearing shoes is actually alot better for your foot health, and it's no more dangerous driving barefoot than with shoes, and much safer than driving with flip flops.
As a swede... America seems like a really weird place. I understand this doesn't happen a lot over there... But here it would be condensed into like 5 words, some awkwardness and then her driving away
So she's mad kids were playing in a neighborhood street? Don't adults complain about kids playing video games too much? What exactly do adults want kids to do all day?
So I'm assuming she almost ran one of them over because they were playing in the street and that is what originally set her off? It's hilarious to me that the older people get, the more they feel the world owes them. Pedestrians ALWAYS have the right of way in the road and considering she is in a residential area the speed limit was max. 25. Kudos to this kid for not stooping to her level.
I'm guessing these kids were in a cul-de-sac hanging out and accidentally ended up in front of her. Then she freaks out on them and that kid used common sense instead of engaging her ignorance. Good on him.
"You have no business being in the road" said the person parking in the middle of the road. Also, she's driving around with bare feet. No matter how much better control, its illegal in some states. And yes, I'm not dissecting the video to see what state tag she has and searching up statutes.
Driving barefoot is illegal in Florida. Playing in the street is probably illegal in that community (it's illegal in most). Leaving the car running (presumably in park) while walking around is dumb, but probably not illegal. The throwing it in reverse twice is questionable.
The need for everyone to have the last word? Yeah. That's why dumb shit happens.
Why do people have so much rage when driving? Whatever happened before the video, why not just shake it off? It's not worth it to drive around that enraged. I see it all the time, some minor inconvenience happens and you see a driver go berserk with bloodlust. Bad things happen, people aren't always on their "a" game, just be happy no one was hurt and move on.
I'm confused. She seems to be suggesting that if there are kids playing in the road, that because it is a road, she does not have to yield to them and it is their fault if they're hit. This can't be true, right?
Way to go!!! You are absolutely correct!!! Very angry lady. Respect is earned not just given. Her inability to cope with the situation. Plus having her ass handed to her by a intelligent confident young man. Made her feel threatened and again angry. "Know your rights".
But be careful, crazy people who are at the end. No job, shit car, shit life. Have No compulsion to harm You! With gun or car or whatever. BE CAREFUL!
Who spends that much energy arguing with a 14 year old? Forget about who's right or wrong - you're literally getting out of your car, pausing your day, getting riled up, all over an argument with a kid you don't know..
And that bully was making threatening gestures towards him, smacking ehr fist into her palm, backing up her car towards him, yelling and swearing at him.
It's sad that some adults believe they can act however they want because they're an adult. Adults should always been role models and setting the example for today's youth.
How ironic, she's upset with them for blocking the road, yet she stops and exists her vehicle in the middle of the dang street, then proceeds to run a stop sign.

If she wanted to talk about ruining her life, she should start by talking about that thigh tattoo...
I love the last line from the boy " what is wrong with people these days". While I completely agree with him it is funny that a 14 is saying what I would have expected an old man to say.
My God, the hypocrisy; If I was that guy, I would've dared her to lay a finger on me. In the scenario she did, I'd defend myself, wait for her to inevitably hurt herself, laugh, and hopefully get a picture of her license plate before she did anything even stupider.
As a parent of young children, I want them to grow up and have the composure of this kid. Well spoken and educated, and able to think when flustered and not just scream.

Videos like this used to make me angry, but I've since started looking for silver linings so it doesn't bum me out so much.
The take-away from this video is "Hey! I may not feel too hot today, and stress has been building a bit, but I'm not internet famous for shrieking at a 14 year old. I have it pretty good."
All these people sticking up for the kids makes me wonder. She shouldn't have done any of the shit she did but kids are brats, especially now with their attempt at viral videos and social media attention. I was in Target and kids were trying to annoy adults to get a funny video. They were putting merchandise in strangers carts without them knowing. Recording who they thought was ugly or fat. I would've loved to smack one. Definitely not run him over. The kid in video sounds like a condescending little prick.

How should he have reacted. He apologised for being in the road and told her to have a nice day. She escalated it unnecessarily - its a minor suburban road - a cul-de-sac too by the looks of it. How much inconvenience could he have caused?
Just the fact that he had out his camera, probably looking for trouble (it's not something new, i've seen it so many times). He should've just walked away, all of them. It's the first thing we teach our kids "do not talk to strangers" if this was my child (i have 2 kids) if i allowed them to play with their hover boards in the street made SURE they did NOT obstruct any traffic and if they saw any cars coming to be on the side of the road ahead of time. Ok, being realistic, if that didn't happen and some asshole like her came out yelling, i would neat my kids for engaging in that and feeding the fire. They were taunting the woman who was pissed bc they were in the street mouthing off. She handled it super poorly and im not saying she was right but I'm sure she has a lot more on her mind than these kids playing in the street. So this was just an aggravation in her already aggravated life. Kids these days, like the kids said, can film anywhere the want. But at an adults expense? She was right, when she said he should show some respect. But by getting out of the road. Never said she handled it correctly, she stooped to their level, a bunch of entitled little brats.

You made a typo but if you meant to say you would beat your kids for that I have nothing to say to you except you are worse than the woman in the video.
I was being sarcastic. I would never ever beat them. Figure of speech. Meaning I would probably yell at them, ground them and take away privileges.

I wouldn't do anything. At 14 years you need to be starting to stand up to adults or you never will be able to and as an adult you will become scared of confrontation.
We also don't see what happened to initiate her behavior. If my theory about todays kids is correct, they probably were being little pricks. He says condescendingly have a great day while snickering, which if I were pissed off, would make me even more angry. Again, not enough to run someone over.

Even if he was being condescending so what? You drive on and don't get in to a confrontation. You know like an adult.
My only problem with this whole video was that the kids got no backlash. Just the woman. I never said she was doing the right thing, in fCt she absolutely was doing the complete opposite. BUT in general kids lately are brats and they weren't golden children in this video. Thats all.

need more context. how did this happen? i can't say who's in the right or wrong in this situation. sure the kid sounds reasonable but maybe he was at fault for fucking around the street with car passing by. at least in my country it's very annoying, not sure illegal, to do your business where cars are supposed to drive
Can we talk about how she says that she doesn't have to yield to them? Idk if this is law in all states, but yes, yes she does. I wish the kid was a couple years older so he would probably be taking drivers ed so he could school her on that, too.
She's driving in a neighborhood and is surprised that there will be children playing in the street? And then to scream and curse at young teenagers like that is absolutely unacceptable!
When she got out of her car to come at him, I really wanted someone to jump in and drive off with it (not one of the kids, just a random perfectly-timed thief!).
Im glad im 14 also.
Makes me realise that the world isnt 100% stupid

I thought pedestrians always had the right of way. People like her are why it's so dangerous for bikes and people to be in the road, just because you have the biggest thing in the road does not mean you have more right to it that other people do. When you're in a residential neighborhood, especially a cul de sac, expect kids to be out playing

Not really surprising to be honest. Most of the time if adults are arguing with kids the kids seem to be more mature. Especially because adults who are arguing with kids should probably grow up a little themselves.
Is there anywhere I can find out if she got in trouble for this?
EDIT: he put up another video of that same woman confronting him and his friends at an ATM. A few months later, so I doubt she actually got in trouble.
Sorry, but if someone is walking where you don't have to yield... You still have to yield. You're driving a one ton hunk of machinery.
Get them for jaywalking or some other offense, but you do NOT have the right to hit people.
Also, did you see her run that stop sign at the end?
I feel like the internet will make this crazy bitches life hell . I bet her employer fires her after this goes viral and yes, she deserves to be charged with attempted assault.
I really hope someone (hopefully the police) finds that woman and has a long conversation about appropriate behaviour when in public places when talking to a 14 year old.
The 14 year old acted more maturely than that woman, if you're having a bad day don't take it out on other people.
Prior to seeing the license plate, I speculated this incident occurred in Florida. I was not wrong.

Not only did he handle it very well, but he also kept his composure.
He wasn't shaking the video or panicking. Keeping calm in a situation like that and structuring arguments is something that is actually very difficult. Even as an adult.
When you watch a lot of videos like this, people shake, trip over words, and aren't able to reference parts of the interaction in an organized way.
For 14 years old...he killed it.

He also never insulted the woman. He could have easily called her a fat idiot by the end, or made fun of her car, or whatever, but he didn't. I think most people, not even just children, would have resorted to low-blows like that, like she did first chance she got (making fun of the poor kid's lisp).
Idk any video where I see someone arguing with someone who is clearly crazy/an idiot looks like just as big of an idiot. The kid should have just walked away. That women clearly has problems and with this video being posted she just becomes a sideshow for people to mock. Just because the kid didn't resort to her level of stupidity doesn't me he's not a dumbass for poking the bear, and he clearly had to have the last word.
He did try to walk away. He apologized and told her to have a nice day multiple times, and he started walking back to his friends. She kept getting out of her car, driving 50ft away, reversing and getting back out of her car because the kids were still in her mirror. As an adult she should have just drove off. If the kids were causing problems in the streets then she should have called the police to go check on them and make sure they weren't being mischievous.
Edit: I get the whole point about being critical of videos that start halfway through an altercation. But then again, if they were recording before it happened, people would be asking why they were already recording. Can't win I guess

I can see what you are saying,
But he did try to diffuse the situation. He even apologized. She kept going and walking towards him.
The whole process that he went through was a great way to establish himself in the 'right'. She threatened that she knew where he lived and now he has evidence that he tried to diffuse the situation while laying out the things she did wrong, including throwing her car in reverse and violently driving towards him. Of course that wouldn't have happened if he just walked away.
But I would counter that with the fact that she was in the wrong and these sort of people do need to be called out in my opinion.
The kid wouldn't shut up. If you want to film crazy people go ahead but repeating shit over and over doesn't make you look intelligent, let alone "surprisingly intelligent".

Ever played CSGO? Because this is very impressive for his age
Indeed. I become very cynical of participants in arguments who are filming the exchange. And even more cynical when they make the decision to upload that footage to the internet.
Oh.. ok. Great point. Way to add to the conversation. Hey guys fuck this kid, what a faggot. Right?! Doesn't even know his place when an adult is talking to him! What a douche!

She may be having a particularly shit day and kinda lashed out. We all have those.
Also we don't know what started this, why she stopped in the first place, as it's not in the video. Could have been anything.
Seems like they were on their hover boards blocking the road and they started jawing.
But that's the point right? Don't curse out some kids on the street, it's just dumb and shows a real lack of maturity that you probably don't want in the work place.

But she was maybe having one really shitty day and this is not a fair reflection of her character. You know the kind of day. I'm sure you've had at least one of those where everything goes wrong and then something happens and you snap.
Plus, you know, getting lippy with some cocky kids on the street is not exactly a crime. Not a good look, but definitely not a sackable offense, especially if it was just a one-off, which as far as we know it totally could be.

Eh. I don't know the full story. Video starts after shit started. Convenient. Knowing kids though, I have a strong feeling thru started the whole thing. Him advertising his Instagram isn't a good sign either. He also greatly overreacted to her simply getting out to talk. He kept egging her on as well. He was inciting violence with his comments so he's not innocent at all.
Don't think he overreacted at all, he clearly felt threatened by the woman and reacted accordingly. The adult should have had more sense than to argue back and approach the teenager. Should have driven on instead of reverse back. Not saying that the teenagers behaviour is mature, but it's much more dossapointing seeing a grown woman engage and be equally, if not more immature.

The teenagers are in a cul-de-sac.
The most likely scenario is as follows:
Resident (lady in car) waits in her driveway for 3-5 teenagers skating in her cul-de-sac to clear the road so she can pull out of her driveway. Teenagers skate off to the side. Resident pulls out. Friend of videographer skates out onto road nearly causing a collision. Resident upset with teenagers not knowing common sense road safety. Smartass videographer decides this is his 5 minutes of fame to harass obviously stressed out mother(? by those clothes, probably). Resident just wants stupid teenagers to be aware of cars. Smartass decides to take a cocky attitude "move along and have a GOOD day!" Resident obviously perturbed by smartass decides this is her time to tell kids common sense.
Fast forward to her reversing.
Smartass is obviously (again) in the middle of the fucking road even after he has "gotten her number plate" and tries to win the Academy Award by overplaying the "you tried to run me over!" even though Resident has complete control of the car and stops a good 5m before Smartass.
Anybody remember playing in the street and whenever a car was coming, at least one child yelled at the top of their lungs "CAAARR!!!" and then everyone went to the side of the road until it was clear? What happened nowadays?
EDIT: I'm a fucking illiterate moron that spells "of" with 2 "f's"
Yeah... a 14yr old with his friends skating in the middle of the road AND he apologizes politely; that's like finding a unicorn shitting rainbows.
I'm sure his "apology" had snark undertones with the sarcasm that all 14yr olds have when they're with friends
At first I thought he came across sarcastic but when she started to rile up, and when he was actually making sense (don't touch my phone/don't approach me), he was much calmer than her.
Nobody knows what the fuck happened here. Sounds like this kid is part of this self entitled generation. "I tried being nice and told you to move along".
Telling someone to move along is far from "being nice". It's quite the opposite actually. It's a nice way of saying "get the fuck out here lady and leave us alone".
From what I gather they were in the road and didn't move when the woman in a car was trying to drive. One of the kids flipped her off, typical 14 year old shit, and the woman got mad.
She should have just flipped them off and kept driving...as the adult.
She makes herself look bad for sure, but the title of this video is highly inaccurate. That kid sounds like a manipulative little prick.
I assume most of the people reading this response are the under 21 or don't even have their drivers licenses. If these kids were all in the road and failed to move it would be annoying.
Judging by the woman's response she probably honked or something which prompted the kid to react.
If these kids were playing in some random back road in suburbia I literally would feel nothing like a normal person and deal with the 5 sec slow down. Also weird you picked such an incredibly young age as the cut off.
lets be clear- we dont KNOW what happened before the video started recording. the kid did what in legal terms is known as an "admission of guilt" by apologizing, which heavily implies that HE FEELs that he did SOMETHING wrong to her. Otherwise, why apologize?
also, she NEVER tried to hit him- her car never once VEERS towards him in fact she stays on the right hand side of the road, where the car is legally supposed to be driving- she never once steers it towards him. If anything he was in the wrong for being in the MIDDLE of the road where traffic is supposed to be.
So lets be honest- did she freak- yes, do we know what happened before he started recording- no, did she try to hit him- no, did he apologize implying some level of guilt- yes.
Look at what happened without seeing an unattractive loud mouth lady and see it for what it is.
That kid's whiny, machine gun voice is still going through my head

I'm surprised no one has commented this yet, so maybe I'm the one who is wrong, but I'm going to say it anyway.
The video started when they were already arguing, so I'm betting that the kids drove out in the road and egged her on before the video began. That doesn't excuse the way she behaved, but it really only paints one side of the picture. Also, he probably got a lot more reserved and looking to draw "evidence" of her being a bad person when he pulled out his phone, whereas that creates panic in the woman, causing her to act more instinctively.
It's like the mr. met video when he flipped off the people. They intentionally only showed that part and left out how much instigation. Yeah, adults are supposed to be the mature ones, but I will only tolerate being pushed around so much by anyone of any age.
Videos like this will make that woman's life really, really awful when it doesn't even tell the whole story, and there is no way she can defend herself without seeming crazy.
This is the problem social media causes. You can't even have an argument with someone or lose your cool for a minute (despite adrenaline rushing because some kid ran out in front of your car and you were nervous you would hit them) without looking like a monster.
The problem with videos like these is we don't see what happened before the kid started filming.
He could have been a complete asshole himself and then hit the record button and all of a sudden he's this perfect kid who did nothing wrong.
In no way am I justifying what the woman is saying or doing however, we don't know what drove her to this point.

The kid was instigating throughout the entire video. Making statements like "Come at me", "Swing on me, go ahead" etc. This was not someone trying to deescalate a bad situation he created, instead its a kid puffing up and making this a bad situation. The kid is extremely lucky he didn't run into someone who acted the exact same way he did because the child could have been killed. His parents needs to talk to him about how to carry himself in public. Because if he behaves this way with someone whose armed, he'll be dead if the person is a hot head.
Just to be clear it's the 14 year old you're pissed at about being immature

At 14 I had enough common sense to pull away from situations like this. If my parents saw me behaving that way, I would've gotten in a lot of trouble for not getting the fuck out of there and mouthing off to someone who could've been armed and insane. Essentially he screwed up and was blocking traffic and did an off the cuff apology or wasn't sincere and the lady took issue with it. From then on, the child tried assuming a dominant stance in the conversation for an issue he started and wasn't contrite. Unfortunately, the adult picked up on this and kept the situation going. In a worse case scenario, he could've picked up an adult with the exact same ego as the child and the child would've been dead.
When you fuck up, apologize, if the person doesn't accept it and appears aggressive keep your eyes on them and move out of the situation.

I am so proud of this kid. He reminds me of an eighth grader I taught 2 years ago. Parents raised him right. He still has the cocky 14-year-old demeanor like he can take on the world, but damn, he can hold his own respectfully against bullshit. What a marketable skill.
I hate it when ghetto people have to hit their hands to make a point. There is something subconsciously violent about that. Makes you look even more dumb than before.
I bet the kid did something to piss off the woman who was stupid enough to retaliate when he put the camera up. Not gonna jump on the praise bandwagon because he knows his rights. There is someone who spits at the car at 0:36.. and there is an age old saying where you are defined by the people who you surround yourself with
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:49:03 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah, but to a degree man. He's 14, who is he supposed to surround himself with? I can imagine a situation where most of the time that kid isn't spitting on cars, however, given the circumstances of elevated aggressiveness on behalf of that lady the kid made a poor choice that a number of teenage boys surrounded by their friends would make.
Keep in mind also that the prefrontal cortex in these kids are still relatively early on in their development which will lead to poor decision making and wont be fully finished for another decade.
Probably because she got out of her car and started yelling/threatening a few kids like a crazy person. The kid clearly knows video evidence is damning if she tried to spin a story to his parents or the cops.
Oh yeah, most people don't know the difference between assault and battery. But this was clearly assault(threatening someone is the assault part) and if she would have hit him it would be battery too.
I really hope that kid's parents are proud of the awesome person they raised. He was respectful, smart and quick on his feet. And he knows his rights! Nothing more beautiful than a kid who knows his rights and how to stand up for himself in a non violent way.
Uh does anyone know if a judge saw this? If that lady had previous convictions for anything( substance abuse, aggression, piss poor driving) and a judge saw her yelling at neighborhood kids like that, especially 14 year olds.... with talk of physical abuse and clearly trying to shake them with thoughts of impending doom... literally got out to walk down a kid halfway down the street for his phone...
Idk man I hope she got prosecuted for some serious shit so maybe she can learn a lesson... because it's scary to consider she thinks she can do all of that to any child..
I've seen many 14 year olds, and being a peer myself I've never seen an 8th grader nearly as intelligent. Pre-Ap students are literally the only organisms I can properly communicate with, while regular ed is like speaking English to an un-contacted tribe.
I've talked about this before but people like her don't seem to realize that people have the right to walk around on residential streets too. I don't mean they have the right to block traffic but you have to share the street with the residents there.
I walk my dogs every day in my neighborhood and these assholes zoom right past me only 2 feet away at 35 MPH. Slow the fuck down this isn't a highway. And if kids are playing in the residential streets, just be fucking patient. You don't own the fucking road just because you're driving.
Assholes like this lady really tick me off. That kid is a fucking champ.

It's more like material possession than rights, then again American view of rights seem to be deeply affected by property. I just find it crazy to hear it from a kid. I've serious doubts you can hear it from kids of other nationalities.
It's not like it's some crazy in-depth legal jargon. Property is a basic concept. I'd be more worried if European kids didn't understand it, especially by 14
I don't condone the stupid bitch's actions, but is this what we're reduced to? Resorting to random pseudo-lawyer bullshit in everything? Whatever happened to kids just egging and tping her while running away, like you know - kids? I need a drink...

The three people I've had stop us from playing the street throughout my life were all women exactly like this lady.
How the fuck is playing on a side street (they're actually in a cul-de-sac) dangerous? And if that's the area they live in, then she obviously lives there, too. I bet her child (probably a toddler) will be playing in that same street in a few years.
Man all she could do was point fingers the whole video.

As far as I can tell she's mad at them for like, being in the street in their own neighborhood? It is nice to see a kid sticking up for themselves and their friends when faced with a crazy adult. I think we can all agree however that the best response would be to let her think she got the last word, wait for her to drive off and then start playing in the road again. Appealing to reason doesn't work for unreasonable people.
I once got stuck watching YouTube videos of people going crazy on skaters for HOURS, and yep, this is par for the course. Idk why middle aged people have such a problem with kids having fun in public but they sure fuckin do
How are we surprised with intelligent responses by a 14 year old ..they're 2-3 year olds that can work a whole phone and 10 year olds that whoop all kinds of ass on video games ..I'm not surprised at all ๐๐ญ

I wish I had so much spare time in my day to day that I could stop and harass children.
Women like this in general aggravate the fuck outta me. One incident happy at my local Walmart. I was pulling out of a space it's me and my girlfriend Bella, as I pull out this chick who had to be 500 pounds and driving a rusty truck. She was alone. She is waiting then she accelerates more toward my brand new car. So she drives forward into the space and scratches my.car from the passenger side back door to the right wheel and this happened to a T except my girlfriend almost got in. Fist fight with her
Nice to see a young man standing up for himself in a positive way. I have spent most of my career teaching 12-14 year olds and they are amazing humans. Yes, yes, I know not all, but most, we only ever report on the trouble makers. This young man's parents need to congratulate him for his respectful dealing with an obviously obnoxious adult who has forgotten that respect is a two way street. Kids in the road? They have played there as long as there have been roads, and yes lady you do need to yield for them that's your responsibility when operating a motor vehicle. What kind of human are you that you cussed out some kids like this, just for playing. Were they throwing things at cars? Trying to get hit? Refusing to move? Nope, just playing. It's a sad world, but thankfully this young man will grow up to make changes as the awesome adult he is bound to be. Well done, kiddo!
Best part about this is swearing at minors is a minor crime in most states. In Idaho its contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Even better is the minor filming knew his rights more than the "adult," as well as the minor controlled his emotions better.
It seems like he turned the camera on in the middle of their exchange, and it also seems like there mmmaaay be more to her side of the story. Like he was being dick unprovoked. Then, when adult gets irate, pull out the camera and troll them some more

He was clearly enjoying antagonising her and taunting her lack of power in the situation. That doesn't make him wrong though. It also doesn't make her any less of a bonehead for getting sucked into it.
The only thing surprising about this is that apparently OP thinks it's more surprising to be a teen with their shit straight than the lady berating the poor kid like an angry momma hippo.
Am I the only one that thought it could have been handled better? I just would had have stopped talking after an apology. It is almost like he was trying to egg her on and make the situation worse or get viral on the interwebs.

Actually, in most places, it's legal to play in the street in a residential neighborhood. They had as much legal right to be there as she did. Meanwhile, she is driving without shoes and the last time I checked that was a civil offense in all 50 states.
People always asking what's wrong with our country these days need to understand this lady is not an isolated incident. People like her literally make up half this country.
Good for the kid. He should take the video to the cops. She committed many driving violations. Probably would be in some legal jeopardy for threatening/intimidating him physically etc... She's also just an asshole. She acts like she's never driven through a residential neighborhood and seen kids playing in the street. I'd love her to come to my house and complain about my kids like that.
I respect the young gentleman but honestly just would have preferred it if him and all his friends all jumped on and her and started elbow and leg dropping her when she took too long to get up.
This lady reminds me of my sister.. A crazed wildebeest that does nothing but cause trouble in everyone else's lives because she's a retard that got knocked up by some 500lb bozo she met at a bar and had a bunch of kids she can't take care of
As a parent i would be finding every legal option to prosecute her ass. Especially if my child held his tounge and kept his cool like that. The kid deserves a medal and the woman needs learn what respect is and that it is not given but earned. What a disgusting example of an adult behavior.
He's got her lock, stock and barrel. Not only does she threaten harm as well as aim her car at him, she actually DOES give him permission to put it on social media. Bet she aint sleeping well

This kids deserves respect for not arguing the way that woman did.
This woman needs therapy for arguing the way she did. ASAP, before she tries to run over the next child.
I'm usually always on the side of the adult, but this woman was more immature than the kid. She was cussing, constantly charged the kid, had ample opportunity to leave but kept coming back for more.
It's the adults responsibility to be mature and act responsibly. Also, isn't it against the law to drive barefoot?

In Florida, https://youtu.be/gevbtHeKlww?t=103, this behavior may constitute Simple Assault. She's approaching the kid in a threatening manner, pounding her hands together while saying "...beat your fucking ass...".
This kid is informed! He's more adult than that crazy lady.
Reminds me of Black Mirror and the death to hash tag episode. Think she'd make the top 3 at least
These kind of retarded discussions only happen in America, where everybody is looking for sensation or a way to be a success online by stating their rights on camera. How many videos like these have we seen now? "Step away sir, I know my rights! This is muh property! You have no rights!"
I'm sorry for this group of kids. I hope very few of their days are spent dealing with neighborhood conflicts such as this. This kid was having none of it and I applaud him, but it's not healthy having to deal with this shit on a regular basis.

I love that she keeps yelling at him for being in the road, yet she stopped her car in the middle of a street, is walking around the road and forcing the child to move backward in a road with her threatening demeanor.
I love his sentence at the very end after she drove away: "What is wrong with people today?!" This boy has spent merely 14 years on this planet and is already fed up with people's shit. I can totally identify with him.
I don't know. We didn't see the initial incident. The kid is obviously in the road. Entitlement mindset? Maybe. Regardless his adrenaline is probably going and is verbally egging her on trying to be cunning with his words. At first she is not irate and wants to speak to his parents. If he is innocent, why not encourage it, ask for her number, call it, so they can exchange numbers. He pushes her and she is frustrated because you cannot hurt a kid. She chooses poorly and cusses all over the place. Both parties need to have the last word. A sign of immaturity on both sides. Bottom line, who wins? No one. Nothing came out of this. Kid is probably still riding in the street. She is probably still driving like crap. We all are entertained for a minute but will forget this by tomorrow. I'm wasting my time typing. Lol
When I was a kid a mom at the playground thought I did something (still don't know what) to her daughter. I was about 6 or 7. This lady came over, grabbed me and started shaking at shouting at me that I should never do it again. Despite telling her I didn't do it she persisted screaming at me. It was terrifying. Never told my parents, because I thought maybe I had done something wrong.
Don't confront children. It doesn't make sense, and if you are doing it you are very likely in the wrong. Or an idiot who needs to feel powerful.
This appears to be in a neighborhood. Sure, if might be annoying if some teenagers are in the middle of the street, but children play in neighborhood streets. Vehicles should yield to them. Not surprisingly, FL has horrible pedestrian fatality rates.

Assault is the threat of violence which I think is evident in her accelerating at him in reverse and probably also clear in her threats to take his phone. Battery as I understand it is the actual physical action of hitting someone.

Unfortunately when I was younger, stuff like this trigger me hard and we'd know since we were minors we wouldn't get charged heavily hitting her especially when someone irrational like this was harassing us.
Florida is just full of shitheads. I mean regardless of how the law is, it's the state that let a man go LOOK for trouble while having a gun, exact vigilante justice, kill relatively innocent teen, then walk away to brag about killing the kid. Pretty sure most states will charge you guilty for looking for a fight/confrontation while being in possession of a firearm. That shit is a huge red flag but nah it's Florida nah mean?
I didn't hear one intelligent thing in that whole video. Sounded like a bunch of people running their mouths off when the smart thing to do would be to shut up and get on with their day.

An adult acting like a child and a child acting like an adult
This kid is in the right, he's trying to apologize even though he's done nothing wrong, but the other kids were kinda being dicks, one of them spat on the car.
When I was a kid we biked and skate on the road. A car comes we got out of the way sometimes smiling and waving also good afternoon or what not.
Now a days I have been that person,not as aggressive but I have stopped and yelled at kids for not getting out of the road when cars go bye. It's like they think you have to wait on them, they don't have to move. I even let a parent have a piece of my mind for playing in the road with her kids and not getting out of the way.

Are neighborhood streets really public property? I thought they were all private. Road rules don't apply in private property and on private roads unless an accident occurs, then it can be argued to apply. I'm pretty sure recording laws are the same as public though.

These videos never show what led up to this point. Judging from his friends, he probably became polite after he started recording. The woman shouldn't have talked to the boys. shouldn't have stopped. If they were that much of a problem call the cops instead. Arguing is a waste of time.
The kid was right on all counts but one... I counted 4 times when he technically was assaulted.
1) The first time she backed up the car towards him.
2) The first time she continued towards him while talking and motioning in a threatening manner, his response was to back away, meaning he likely felt threatened.
3) The second time she back the car towards him.
4) The second time she walked towards him, again talking and motioning in a threatening manner, this time he actually stated he felt threatened.
Legal definition of assault...
An assault is carried out by a threat of bodily harm coupled with an apparent, present ability to cause the harm. It is both a crime and a tort and, therefore, may result in either criminal or civil liability. Generally, the common law definition is the same in criminal and Tort Law.
This lady clearly assaulted a minor multiple times in a single incident, and the minor didn't instigate the situation, though he did try to instigate an attack or response at least one time.
When did the kid starting trash turn into a woman assaulting a kid? Clearly the kids were riding around in front of the car and started the whole thing.

Honestly the boy recording wasn't great either. She didn't try assaulting him, and he could walk towards her, but not her to him? He didn't seem like he felt threatened either, much like the other way round.
Now that woman, should have just driven off and not played this silly game with the kid.
Assault doesn't require physical contact. A belligerent lady jumping out of her car and getting in a child's face is probably enough for a criminal complaint... maybe not a conviction... but it would be massively inconvenient for her.
Am I the only one who was hoping when she got out of her still running car multiple times that some random guy was just gonna jump in it and drive away?
Any updates on this? I'm very pleased with how the boy handled himself.

Her car is wrecked as fuck in the front and she didn't seem to bother fixing it
She is driving with no shoes (classy)
Is she really picking a fight with a 14 year old?
If he's in the middle of the road with his friends, they will move when they see her car approaching. She shouldn't gun the car towards them...
She said she didn't want to ruin her reputation by assaulting a minor, but tried running him over not once but TWICE
I don't know what went on before this video, but the kid seems in the right. If he claims she didn't bother stopping for them to move out of the road, and she's crazy and screaming, I feel like the kid might have the story straight.
It looked as if she took her sandals/flipflops off on the farside of the car all other points aside though, I must say barefoot is pretty comfy for driving.
Look lady, 14 y/os are little shits! Fact of life. However, engaging the kid is a HUGE mistake. I don't like video taken of me without permission either, but its the sign of the times. If the video-taking REALLY bothered you, just call the police! They would have authority to involve the kids parents, assuming wrong-doing on their part. IF you had a case against the kids, noticed the one spit on your car, then you could've taught an actual lesson to the kids. Which would be more Important for society than yelling at them. But, getting out and arguing with them?!? Teens LOVE that shit, and you just end up looking like... well, read all the other comments about your appearance.
Any adult that argues with a kid obviously suffers from mental illness. I've seen this video before and still can't manage to watch all of it. The worse thing is she's completely in the wrong. She does have to slow down and even yield if she sees children playing in the street. She'd have to be committed if she lived in my neighborhood where kids play street hockey with tennis balls all the time.
EDITED: How hard can it be to smile, wave and say; stay safe and have fun kids. Gheezus
I hate the fact that events like this make it to the internet and people spend their time watching and judging. Hard to find someone in the right when situations like this occur.
Wow. I do hope this woman was reported to the police. She did physically threaten the kid, and then she did back towards him at a recklessly fast speed for how close she was. Her prior threat gives strong evidence of her assaultive intent in backing up.
They're both idiots. Kid was mature at first when he deescalated the situation but it goes downhill from there. She crossed the line when she got out the car and started threatening the kid. Any maturity the kid had before went out the window when he started getting in her face and escalating the situation. Seriously both of you shut the fuck up.
I don't know why, but I imagine the kid being Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender.
In all seriousness though, props to the kid for standing up for himself and being mature. You go, kid!

While she should've taken the higher ground (seeing as she is the actual adult there) and just walked away, keep in mind this video doesn't show the whole story (as usual).
Right as the video starts you can hear the kid's friend saying "(...) you retarded fuck. I wish you were a guy right now! [so he could fight her, like he would fight a grown man anyway]... oh my god.."
That's pretty bad (and retarded), who knows wtf they were going off on before the video started.

"Get out of the road" Proceeds to stop the car into the middle of the street. Honestly, if a kid is playing in the streets of a low traffic area, let them and just go around them.
You have to be a special kind of white trash to pick a fight with a 14 year old. I would not have been as patient as this kid. Suppose that says a lot about my maturity lol

Can someone confirm though is this woman in any actual trouble? Did she break any laws threatening this kid and taunting him with her car (provided that there is now video evidence)?
I'm sure she is guilty of a few things, but if I were this kids parents I would let this whole thing go. No harm, no foul. Plus, she is going to be ruined for a while after this video
edit: her backing up the car towards him was the main mistake she made

Okay I just wasn't sure if this was incriminating enough for a viral video to fuck her over without any action from the kids parents. I completely agree with you it's a lot of headache worth little satisfaction.
It all baffles me though like you can see she realizes she fucked up in handling the situation but continues to charge towards the camera man.
Very smart of that kid to just tell her to stop because he felt threatened.
Okay I just wasn't sure if this was incriminating enough for a viral video to fuck her over without any action from the kids parents
Well, I know what you are driving at here. She is out of control and it's easy to slam her, but I sure would hate to have some of my "bad moments" caught on video. We all have some public interaction that we aren't so proud of
Good for this kid, man. Good for him. Let's just hope he doesn't run into any trouble with somebody who doesn't give a shit about the law. That would be very unfortunate.
ehhh the kid is kinda annoying too, hes well spoken and a smart aleck but he should just chill. its smarter to be just be quiet then screaming at the crazy woman whose just tried to run you over, coulda got himself killed if she was super super crazy (you cant tell who is nowadays)
Would like to point out that Assault is the threat of harm and that Battery is actually causing that threatened harm, she is or should definitely be guilty of Assault in this case and would probably be given community service but not much else.
"I don't have to fucking yield to you!"
Uh, you do. He's a pedestrian you dumbass, and you're in a fucking neighborhood. If you can't slow down for some kids there then you're not going to at anyplace with more people.

As usual, the reditard brigade is willing to upvoted and praise a video that takes place after the altercation. While the woman is not justified for her behaviour, none of you idiots know what the brats did to upset her so much. But that's okay, because in your eyes it's okay to make a wrong. So long as no one wrongs you back.
"none of you idiots know what the brats did to upset her so much"
Yes we do. She says it herself, "you guys were in the road" and nothing else. White trash gets triggered VERY easily. Why the need to defend her? Are you wearing a sleeveless t-shirt?

This stupid woman, what is she doing? She sees the kid filming and she thinks she's going to "win" in this situation by intimidating him? And if that doesn't work, violence is the backup plan (pun totally intended)? Just walk away, no one ever comes out on top when someone else is filming them, and if they ever did, the video would be deleted. But you can be sure the world will see when you lost an argument to a 14 year old. And now she'll probably get threatening calls and mail because her license plates are in the video and people can search them. Should have just gotten in the car and driven away like an adult with better things to do than argue with kids.
is driving barefooted a thing? I always consider if I might need to take off running.
On topic though good for you kid, please keep your cool head as you grow older.
Nothing worse than listening to the sound of whiney fucking Yanks, what is wrong with that nation, just full of people that won't stop running their dumb mouths.
I can never understand these videos, why in fuck are they even circlejerk discussing, if that kid was actually as og as everybody is saying he is, hed just stop talking to her and go ride his hoverboard no matter the age. Sheeesh
Did anybody else notice the second time he said, " lets get that license", right before the car started back up towards him again, he sounded like a robot?

"Intelligent responses" sure yelling 'it's my property' and 'assault me' is gonna help. In contrast to the raging bull infront of him, I guess it was a little smart.

The only thing I can think of when I see confrontations where people are standing their ground by screaming at a psycho about how their actions are against the law, is how our prisons are likely bursting at the seams with people who didn't give a shit.

The kid was fairly smart but the lady was extraordinarily dumb. You should have titled it something focusing on the lady instead of focusing on the kid.
I wonder if the state they're in would register her attempts to reverse the car in their direction as attempted assault with a dealy weapon or something similar
I am not a lawyer but I am pretty sure you can't just demand someone's phone even as a minor. Kid is right, it might be paid by his parents but that still means it is the property of his and his family. That's like saying "Let me take your bedroom or car!" And I am pretty sure moving towards someone in a threatening manner towards a minor is illegal.
To be fair, hardly anybody who lives in Florida is actually from Florida. They are hillbillies and white trash that graduate high school, put on sleeveless t-shirts, grab their girlfriend, smokes and a case of Mountain Dew and then head down to Florida to work at Wal-Mart.
Here is my thing, and I am not great at judging age. I have seen women who had one or two kids, maybe twenty-four, and they looked in their 30's to me. And I see some women in their 40's that have aged very well. There are too many times I can't tell that well.

I hope he actually reported her to the police, or at least showed that video to his parents and maybe some of the other adults in that neighborhood, she was exhibiting unacceptable and dangerous behaviour, and should at least be given anger management and road rage classes. Irresponsibility in a vehicle can cause serious injury or death, and at the very least some trauma, completely despicable
Should have called the cops. Attempted assault with a vehicle and endangerment of a minor are serious offenses. She would have been arrested, which is what she deserved.
This kid is amazing. Bravo to him and his clear headed and intelligent arguments. He stayed calm under fire and kept his cool. He gives me hope for the future.
this is a metaphor for the conutry's political sutuation.
overweight, unemployed, dumb old people support Trump and think they deserve respect and deserve to be middle class only because they are older.
while intelligent young people with logic on their side try (unsuccessfully) to explain to the overweight unemployed person that they in fact do not deserve to be middle class.

She would have been much better served by snatching that phone and pissing off w/o trying to threaten the little guy.
Lady does not know how to talk to kids. He was very respectable. If it was someone else she might have ended with a black eye and a bruised face.
The kids should have called the police and I bet you she would have left the minute she heard it. People like this are dangerous they need to be reported.
I will say this, we ALL have had a bad moment or two in public and if it were to have been caught on video, we would look pretty bad as well. This lady went too far and it's her own fault, but I sure am glad some of the things I've done in public were never caught on video
Interesting assumption you make there, that we've all had a bad moment in public. Who the hell are you hanging out with, that you try to normalize this kind of behavior?
She is being more childish than the kid itself.
And it's just a 14 year old kid, why the hell she keeps threatening him and acting insanely?
This woman is so rude.
I guess her parents did not teach her what education is.
I find that there are a lot of adults and people like this. They demand respect and anyone younger than them are automatically deemed lesser than the oldest in the room. I've grown up with these kinds of people and deal with them nearly on a monthly basis (retail). I believe it isn't about right or wrong but rather they try to feel superior and better than you.
People are always in such a hurry today. Just a few months ago I was driving up the middle of my town going 23 or so in a 25. Out of no where this car came up, started riding my ass and passed me the first chance they got in a no passing zone with crowds all around. I like to think they had some place to be that was a matter of life or death. But most likely just some asshat being a prick.

I remember when I was a teen riding around with a few of my buddies. Some older guy got cut off by another group of teens about 100 m ahead of us. For some reason the man saw us and latched onto us and followed us for a few km honking at us and yelling at us at stoplights. My buddies and I were freaking out, finally decided to find a police car (way before everyone had cell phones) and park near it, except no police in it so the guy gets out of his car. At this point we're hemmed in, no way to escape, so we're basically trapped.
Figuring we've done our best to avoid a confrontation, we figure we'd rather go down on our feet then in our seats. I really thought staying in the car was best, but the quick (maybe 5 second) conversation we had was if he had a gun we'd be sitting ducks, at least on our feet we could hide if it came to it.
Up to this point the man had been yelling obscenities at us, but he calmed down pretty quick when he saw the 4 of us, two of us being almost twice his size. We told him we were sorry that people drove like shit but unless he wanted to get reported to the police for wreckless driving and assault that he needed to calm down and drive away. Within moments he did just that, but I learned that day that even full grown adults can flip and reason goes out the window.
This is why the saying "respect your elders" is bullshit. If someone is in the wrong then they are in the wrong.

The problem I see here is they don't completely deescalate the situation with her. Don't get me wrong, she was very much in the wrong. What I'm saying is that these kids could have calmed her down easily.
I don't agree with kid either, imagine being annoyed by a group of teenagers using those shitty hover boards all over the road. Then one of them is filming you hover boarding all around you daring you to assault him.
This wasn't surprisingly intelligent, the woman is obviously in the wrong, but it's not one sided

I have the same theory on middle-east. Can confirm, am miserable when overheated.
Also, this chick should consider getting laid once in awhile.
Despicable behavior on her part. Hope she learns from this.
Kudos to the string-willed future attorney with the cam.
There was no way the foul-mouthed piece of trash could quit while she was ahead, because she was never ahead in the first place. After being totally owned by a bright kid less than half her age (and a third of her weight) she kept coming back for more, hoping for the last (dirty) word.
And she just got owned again. And again. And again.
america is the only country where i consistenly hear people scream stuff like "this is my propertyyy. this is my propertyy" or "i do not consent!!! I do not consent!"

This dumbass woman has less of an idea how to conduct herself than a 14 year old hover boarding in the street. This pathetic excuse of a person probably votes too.
She also ran that stop sign. The license plate was clear as day at the end. Florida is really missing an opportunity if they don't send this bitch a ticket in the mail.

She is the type of woman who goes to a football game wearing a jersey of a player that has long since been traded or retired and the numbers are all faded sometimes with the team's old colors.
If he called the cops, she could go to jail for at most a year I think. More if she is charged with not stopping at a stop sign, stopping and getting out of her car in a roadway, and not signaling.

Somebody tell me please. What is the deal with white people and not wearing shoes? I see this all the time. Walking down the street with no shoes in hot ass Florida. And it's 80/20 women. I don't get it. Age doesn't seem to be a factor either.
I think the funniest thing about this is that they're in a fucking cul-de-sac. Now we don't have the whole story so either this lady lives in there (doubt it cause she'd probably know those kids then) or she purposely drove down a dead end road to fuck with some 14 years olds
Not surprised because of how trashy Florida is. But in all serious....is this the standard now a days? So many things are wrong here. The chick needs to be an adult and just leave already. The kid kinda screwed up saying if" you assault me I'll assault you". I don't see why this just isn't " hey get out of the rode", " you almost hit me" and then everybody just move on since no one got hurt and nothing was damaged. Stop making things more than they are. Pretty good composure from the kid, wish he would have stood his ground instead of backing up when she charged him.
They were walking around and riding a hover board in the street. She either yelled at them or she tried to hit them. She did say something about if she hit them or should have it was a quick statement.

So that's a little context but we're still just watching the lives of other people that we will never meet. It has nothing to do with anything but entertaining ourselves with strangers suffering. Like we find it entertaining to hate a real person that we don't even know. Even if we did know her why would this be entertaining. It's dumb.
Yelling at kids is ineffective. I find showing disappointment and calmly explaining the problem is much more effective. It worked on me when I was younger. I cut a pickup truck driver off on my bicycle once and he stopped the car and waived me back. Older guy Got out and said "The road is a dangerous place to be riding your bike so you really need to be aware of your surroundings. I'm glad you're wearing a helmet but its made of styrofoam won't help much if you get hit by a truck, so please be careful out here." He was calm and cool, he didn't yell, but I got what he was saying and that it was disappointing for him to have to stop and say something.
Eugh, I really don't like the overuse of the word fuck. Same with many on reddit too. It's annoying as fuck!!!! But this is obviously way worse, when talking to people so young.

Both of these people are what we in the UK call 'twats'. She's a twat for engaging, trying to run over, and continually arguing with the child, and the boy is a twat for riding that abomination in the road potentially causing issues for traffic, then giving the woman grief when he could have just rode off.
Urgh... twats.

Surprisingly intelligent? Ya i can tell. Why couldn't I have been raised to think of laws and regulations by 14... I was smoking weed and planning on what my hard drug would be to do in the future.
Is there an update of this? Did the kid give his video to his parents or something? Someone send me an update or link about this my curiosity is killing me
Someone add the video of all the kids playing soccer in the cul-de-sac and the angry old lady that sits there saying they can't play because it's "private property". Those kids had sound logic, too.
To be fair, the kid was also super fucking frustrating to listen to - kept escalating that shit again and again. But hey, the kids a kid, and kids are dumb, adults aren't supposed to be.
Let's be real this 14 year old is a fuck boy that's trying to get this reaction out of people.... with that said she should have been smarter and not reacted like a 14 year old girl
When I was about 18 and living at my parent's house, I drove down my street but there was a number of the local kids playing in the road. They split up for just enough space for my car to get through, which made me feel incredibly uncomfortable driving through it.
So while passing through slowly, I stopped and said to the oldest "please don't stand in the street like that when a car is trying to go through" and left. Absolutely politely, not disrespectfully at all.
An hour after I got back home, the police were there asking me if I'd yelled at the kids while driving past. The stupid kid complained to her parents that I'd yelled swears at them as I drove past and called the police on me about it.
This still bothers me to this day. I'm not really sure why the police would come over kids complaining about being sweared at, but it really bothers me that they lied about it.
I'm afraid this kid needs to learn that angry people don't always think about laws and the consequences of their actions though. He may have been in the right, but his presence was just winding the woman up even more, he and his friends should just have walked away from that scene. There's no point having the law on your side when you're laying on the pavement bleeding heavily.
ELI5: Can the kid/kids parents do anything about this in a court of law? I mean this lady is clearly driving carelessly when she backs up (rather quickly) towards the kid, threatens him with property destruction (and maybe some other things? I couldn't quite hear her over his voice.) The kid was right in that she is assaulting him. Which is a crime in of itself (does is differ state to state?) The street is public property and as far as I know it is acceptable to play in the street in these kinds of neighborhoods(?)

Boy should have just rode away once she was in the car. Even though she was in the wrong, him continuing to address the lady (who was clearly in an aggressive state) just escalated the situation. Of course he's just a kid and likely hadn't learned that lease on, but this is a great video for everyone to learn how not to handle a situation (on both sides).
What if she had a gun and snapped? A knife? Confrontation just isn't worth it if no harm has yet been done to body or property.
I'm not saying he wasn't in the right in case something went down, but from what I've heard in some states it's actually illegal to film people without their permission.
Like I said, he was in the right to do so since shit coulda gone sideways, but it's still something I wanted to point out.
those laws generally have the element of "...if they have a reasonable expectation of privacy." Standing in a public street, yelling at people, does not fulfill that criteria.
When your only response is "You're not as tough as you think you are" when they're not trying to be tough it shows you're in the wrong and an idiot because it means you have nothing better or relevant to say.
It also shows this 14 year is more mature than you... good job.

I don't know about surprisingly intelligent responses. Sometimes it's better to let the crazy people pass you by instead of shouting them down and getting into a heated argument.
Every aspect of this is pathetic, in my opinion. The art of de-escalation is so lost on modern society, and this tableau of morons yelling at one another in the middle of the street waving phones about and bleating about rights they scarcely understand is the consequence.

Lots of pitchforks in here about physical abuse or even just popping your child once. Just because you don't get physical doesn't mean you don't abuse. Most often non physical abuse is worse. Don't abuse.

Driving without shoes is illegal. She should be ticketed for that. She should be ticketed for failing to stop at a stop sign. She should be ticketed for assaulting a minor. She should be ticketed for disturbing the peace. She DOES have to yield for pedestrians in a neighborhood.
Sorry, Driving barefoot is legal. There was a report in the news last month about little known assumptions that were incorrect about laws. Like when the traffic lights are out here. Everyone says the intersections become 4 ways stops. That's not true either. They go by right of way.
This woman has committed: 1) tortuous assault in 2 different ways ((a) attempted battery and (b) intentional act causing reasonable apprehension of imminent offensive or harmful touching). She has committed criminal attempted battery.
I mean I guess good for this kid, but like seriously fuck this kid. I was just annoyed listening to him the whole time I really hope he try's and pull that off with a kid his age and he just gets beat up, now that's a video I'd love you watch
I'd be really happy if this kid would have pressed charges there for assault. There was clearly the intent to harm with the way she was piloting her car. If that kid we're me I would have feared for my safety.

What kind of brain-dead scum is an adult and acts like this with a 14 year-old? This woman needs some mental help O.O I hope this video gets her fined or in jail...
The kid later made another video when they found this woman at the ATM, where they confronted her. She seemed much more mature about it then (and was dressed better). She was probably having a pretty bad day here.
She's all 'I don't have to listen to this!' and she stays and keeps on blabbing. wow. If that was my kid, I'd upgrade his phone and get a restraining order on this woman.
An adult is supposed to set an example to these kids about how the world works. How is it that the minors are setting the right example? The adults are filled with mental issues and the children pick up from it and this is the world we get. How is it always us vs them on race, generation gaps, class gaps, police and citizens. Where did the trust and caring go?
In all honestly, she didn't "almost" hit him. She wasn't even close and its clear there was no intention of hitting him, so lets not get it twisted. That being said, she's got some serious personal issues.
"I don't have to yield to you if you're in the road" proceeds to not stop at the stop sign and repeatedly stop and reverse in the middle of the road, so apparently road rules don't mean anything to you?
She's very not intelligent! But he was trying to bait her. I would of taken out my phone and recorded him right back and showed that to his parents or the police.

I still find the kid annoying, I think the mature thing to do is identify you're dealing with an idiot, shut up and let her get on with her shitty life. It's not a battle that needs fighting. But he's a kid, he's not meant to be mature, and the lady is much worse.

Sorry if this is repeat, didn't want to read 5k comments but legally speaking you do have to yield to pedestrians, also if you see one "jaywalking" and decide hey it's their fault, you could get charged with vehicular assault, not to mention on a minor. Good job getting that license plate dude!
Isnt it weird that life and history just circles back? This situation used to be reverted, life moved on and those kids thar used to trash talk got older and now drive the car just to find polite kids in the side of the road doing the same thing they used to.
It goes round and round. Until it completes a full circle and resets.
TBH if you have nothing better to do in your life than cuss out a 14 year old in the middle of the road when you're a full grown adult you need to find a fucking job or something, how do you say to yourself. Hey! There's a 14 year old kid messing around with his friends outside like every 14 year old in the world is doing. Let's stop in the middle of the road and yell at him for 5 minutes straight, that seems like a good idea ๐๐ป
He'll eventually learn arguing with people like these is not worth it and just a waste of time. She on the other hand had learned nothing and has no excuse
But what if that kid is a dick? What if he almost ran into her car or did? Like yeah, this woman doesn't seem to be too bright, but am I really the only person to ask what happened before the video?
I wouldn't say surprisingly intelligent, more like he had some common sense. And it isn't legal to just film anyone whenever you want in public without their permission in all states....that being said the lady was cray
Well, it's true that the video starts that way. But we don't know what happened before that, without making assumptions. Maybe he was justified in saying it, maybe not.
That's not even the point I was making above. I was saying that for anyone to watch this video and take away from it that these kids "don't deserve to live" is a chilling thought.
And "don't try and play innocent with me" is a nice and menacing touch, well done.
She's a whiny little bitch, but hearing a child talking like that saddens me... all this legal talk, already sick enough people doing that all the time.
That woman child is just mad and disappointed about her own life, the only reason people act like that, they're not satisfied with where or who they are in life.
This kids parents are raising him right. Which can't be said a lot about this generation. Kids raising kids, doesn't make for the best society. That woman needs to check her self though. She's so immature it's scary.

Not sure about the assault charge but he's got evidence of her driving without shoes, which is illegal, and also not stopping at that stop sign. Personally, I'd get the police involved so they can remind her that they do have a right to be in the street - it is a neighborhood not a highway - and that she does not have the right to threaten them. I hope she doesn't have kids but if she does I can guarantee they are as bad or worse than she is.
It's good to see kids who aren't trying to stir up some drama but this lady should be brought back down to preschool because all she must want to do is fuss and throw temper tantrums.
Someone needs to figure out who this woman is. She literally tried to run over a 14-year-old. If there isn't a smarty a lawsuit pending, her employer should at least be informed.

You know what though its not even just an argument, when you approach someone in that manner it can qualify as assault (not battery obv). And if you are doing this to a 14 y/o, you could expect a judge to rule in their favor. Especially with video evidence lol. Some fucking people bro lol

There are plenty of 14 year olds that are this intelligent, and unfortunately interactions like this with adults have the chance to turn this kid super cynical , super fast.. hope he uses his intelligence to make himself successful, instead of being a 23 year old redditor who was "smarter than my teachers, but I didn't really try in school"
why do these people never phone the police and why have no other adults come out to resolve this.
there was a thing outside my house with some kids getting balled at so i went out to mediate... probably saved the kids a beating and the adult an assault charge
"If you're in the middle of the road, I don't have to yield to you." - Some white trash on the street.
"...law requiring the...vehicle to yield...to a pedestrian crossing a roadway within any marked...or unmarked crosswalk". - Department of Motor Vehicles.
So at what point did two people screaming at each other become "surprisingly intelligent" ? Both parties are escalating here. "Intelligent" would be walking away or defusing.
I don't actually know if what i say is accurate, but if people like keep developing an attitude like that the US might go into an economic bust very fast
Let's be honest here... this video was about an adult being pissed off that she wasn't being shown respect. Also the kid wasn't being polite or shit, he was being patronizing. She was being a bitch and he was goading her on.
Hey, I also saw the warlocks.... those are two midget-heads!

Never heard the "intelligent" comment.
That kid never stopped antagonizing her and when he told her not to attack him he then would threaten attacking her. This is some serious kiddie ass end millennial bullshit brought on by little cocksuckers who think YouTube is the Bible.
One day they will pull this stunt on the wrong people.
Not saying the lady was not wrong but little cocksuckers like that kid will get a sweet lesson one day.
Does no one else see this as the kid egging her on? He's not being obvious about it, and he's wrapping it in pleasantness, but when the video starts, the altercation is already over. And then he tosses out the last word. Very pleasant, but if he kept his mouth shut the whole thing was over. At 1:10 she starts walking back to her car, and he uses the same line AGAIN, and she stops walking away, AGAIN. 2:10, she starts to leave a 3rd time, and he announces "License plate, License plate!" and.... she comes back again!
Just like every person in every pointless fight ever, he's not concerned with the fight ending. He wants the fight to keep going on until someone recognizes how right he is. And given that we have no idea how this fight started, I'm inclined to say this kid is in no way the 'good guy' here. He's just modeling different bad behavior.
It's a common tactic in retail. Kill them with kindness. The kind that's so nice and plesant that it does nothing but send them into a rage. It's one of the small joys of a retail worker.

And yes, that's exactly what that was. She tried to bully a 14-year-old for his property. Sweet Jesus, I hope this woman never breeds.

Well played son.....
I got my left arm broken by a driver so bad that I still have steel plates in it. He hit me going about 5 MPH at the time. A car can do lots of damage to a human body.
100% assault, I was involved in a court case like this. A woman came after me with her car, was caught on security camera. She pleaded out and received probation, she was facing 5 years in prison.
I'v seen this fat bitch in other videos bitching at kids on youtube. How many children do you have to harass and threaten before the law gets involved?
Set up! Total setup. Come on. She isn't trash. She is just gullible. Call the cops keep your mouth shut. Anyone notice the kid spitting on her car in the background. Thr kids were trying to get a video and hits. Adults need to learn to deal with crap like this in an adult fashion. Witnesses, Authorities, don't engage. In that order. Welcome to the technological age folks. Camera's are everywhere and everyone wants to be a star.
Attention-seeking or not, she shouldn't have continued to engage him. He tried to get her to move on and she continued threatening to take his phone, driving recklessly, and insulting the kids.
I prefer my "comfort" upright and not looking like they belong on an 80 year old torso. Not sure how any comfort could be found trying to dig her nipples out of the rolls of her muffin top.

Kid continues to instigate throughout entire video. If you really wanted the confrontation to end - just drop it. This kind of behavior doesn't help anyone, not trying to defend anyone here but if you're ever insulted or feel the need to argue over something trivial with a stranger just stop for a second and realize you're not the center of the universe and move on.
Listen. You can't say "I feel threatened leave me alone" and then continue. You have enough douchebaggery at that point to move on. You also have to realise that this kid is an instigator.
Jesus Christ...it's easy to avoid these situations entirely. All he had to do was shut the fuck up...that would be the only actually intelligent response.

To be fair, and not to sound like a cranky neighbor; but about 6 years ago my block was nice and quiet. We always had kids, not much traffic, etc.
Then the neighbor who had lived across the street all my life passed away, and a family connected to the mob with spoiled brat kids moved in.
My block became the defacto hub for all the neighborhood kids with minibikes/quads. These kids would be incredibly disrespectful, use the loudest mufflers possible and literally play chicken with cars. This was extremely disturbing for most of us in the neighborhood because a year or so before they moved in a teen who lived around the corner got in to an accident and died just 3 blocks away from his house.
The kids were smart enough to use police scanners, so whenever a neighbor called the cops on them they would hide ASAP. I myself had been in a car accident while riding a bicycle as a kid that nearly killed me. So the whole playing chicken with my parents cars thing didn't really fly with them; because it was idiot kids with full reckless abandon making light of a situation they didn't even know about.
So my parents went to the police station to ask what they could possibly do to make them stop. These kids were also going ALL DAY long until the sun went down. Basically from noon to sundown all you could hear was the deafeningly obnoxious tones of crotch-rockets. The cops said that the kids were obviously in the wrong no matter what; because the vehicles are not street legal. They said they literally can't do anything though unless they catch them in the act. As far as the games of chicken go? The cop straight up said to not worry about hitting them because they would automatically be at fault.
A little bit of sweet justice came at a price about 2 years into dealing with the wannabe mini-bike mob. It was late spring, and a few friends and I were having a fire-pit in my backyard. No one else was home at my house, then we see bright headlights shine all the way to my back yard then through my house as we hear a truck peeling out. A friend was inside the house and saw the whole thing from my the front door.
One of my neighbors idiot friends thought it would be funny to peel out of his driveway then drive across/tear up my lawn. Eventually the cops came and he spent some time in jail...the stupid kid was already on probation.
Anyway, kids are assholes. You don't know how often/long they have been harassing this woman. She even says that she wasn't talking about the kid recording she was talking about the other kids who were in the road. Pulling out a camera on someone AFTER provoking them isn't exactly fair. You can troll someone while seeming intelligent at the same time. Doesn't make you any less of a dick.
Anyone else realize she's wearing a "Salt Life" shirt... I know it's a fishing apparel company- but still - she's undoubtedly leading the salty life. That is a beat Toyota Camry. I had the same one 4 years ago - except mine didn't look like it had herpes above the front right wheel . I'm not wealthy either. She must be struggling. Plus she's not exactly fit. Living the "salt life" indeed.
Wow great job keeping your cool head kid but risky that bitch was nutz she could have really caused some trouble. I can't believe that silly bitch would stop and curse at a bunch of kids doing what kids do if I had a nickel for every time there were kids playing in the road in my neighborhood I'd put those nickels in a sock and beat that bitch down with it.

I really wish people wouldn't walk backward to avoid a physical conflict when being approached by an aggressor that the person walking backward could easily plaster into the ground.
First, if you're walking backwards, you can't see where you're going.
Second, walking backwards emboldens the aggressor. Stand your ground and get ready to swing once they violate your space. Maybe warn them that approaching to to within their striking distance is the same as starting an attack. And back it up with your posture.
Dude, she's behaving irrationally, and in Florida. You don't know what she might be on. You want to risk a physical confrontation with a psycho who might be on bath salts (or whatever it is the kids smoke these days) just so you can stand your ground?

But still, slowly backing away is the absolute wrong tactic. Either stand your ground or actually fucking leave.
He didn't seem that intelligent. If anything, he should've just brushed her off and let her go along with her day. She should've done the same of course.
Either way, they're both little bitches.
made it two minutes in, I'm assuming intelligent responses came after that?
>Don't assault me bro!!
>if you assault me I'll assault you!!
>I'm filming your licenses plate
This cannot be what OP was referring to. Exchanging cursing with white trash in the middle of the street is like running the 100m in the special olympics: even if you win you're still retarded.
If I was this kid's parents I'd definitely be talking to local cops about the woman harassing minors and driving recklessly in my neighborhood where they frequently play. Jesus, she's a disgrace.
In NC what that lady is doing is classified as assault. No physical touching needs to take place, if someone comes at you and you are scared of physical harm, you can charge that person with assault, and it will stick. I learned that lesson the hard way.
One of millions of piggish, overweight, bitter, angry people who are always looking for a fight or someone they can pick on. These are the lowest form of life on Earth, people who would pick on a child in order to get some tiny sense of superiority in their pathetic lives.
If someone like this tried to assault me, I would not hesitate to punch her in the face. Best of all, she apparently drives barefoot, giving me the opportunity to step very, very hard on her feet to disable her. I would enjoy that.

Everyone's focusing on the lady, but that kid is so annoying. Just trying to be an internet hero. All he's doing is egging her on. She's dumb enough to take the bait though. "If you assault me, I'll assault you". Haha what a little twat.
The crime here is kids daring to be outside and play. The lady need to take a flying leap of a cliff. Her and her stolen basketballs, ugly ass tattoo and fish t shirt need to get a life. She surely has none.

This woman earns adulting points for:
1.) Arguing with a child.
2.) Cursing at a child.
3.) Threatening said child to : break his personal property and beat his ass.
4.) Reversing into said child to scare or hurt him.
5.) Returning to argue with said child not once, but TWICE.
6.) And finally, breaking basic laws like: stopping at a stop sign and signaling.
What a winner in life, folks! Another day in Florida.
Edit: Oh yeah, and for thinking she doesn't have to yield for a pedestrian. You know, another basic driving law.
I kept staring at her big tits and bare feet. Obviously her son has no idea how to deal with this. Let her hit you, cop a feel, record it save said feel, use tape to blackmail for sex. Hasn't pornhub taught these kids anything? Instead these autists ate more worried about their lame fucks "hover boards".
fat entitled woman, the video, you can tel no one ever told this fat bitch "no" and no point in the life she has wasted making it worse for others who tolerate her bullshit
She's just so mad at him. The true reason behind her anger is for the simple fact that a young man with a mind of his own is able to counter every attempt to get him to fight her. Wow!
I wouldn't normally post on something like this, but I've seen it reposted multiple times now and it always irks me. I get that it's fun to make fun of the woman for getting in an argument with a kid, but praising the kid is absolutely the wrong thing to do. The kid even remarks at the beginning about how he wishes he was a guy so he could fight her. The woman is in the wrong for arguing, but yeah, flicking off drivers, spitting on their car, making claims that are ridiculous (when she backed up the she didn't swerve one bit to either side of the road, but he jumps backward for dramatic effect) and recording them getting upset at your shitty behavior is something reddit shouldn't be praising because "omg, standing up for his rights, so smart." We already have too many people who consider it "surprisingly intelligent" to do shitty things, and then claim they have a right to do those shitty things, somehow absolving them of any judgment. Just look at that acting, man, "what's wrong with this world" indicating that the woman is irrationally irate after he watched his friend spit on his car, and cut out the first half of the encounter in the video for "unknown" reasons.
Video in the middle of an altercation so you don't know what happened first? Check.
Snarky polite comments so you can claim that you were a polite young man? Check.
Claiming the other person is violating all of your rights so people google it and go omfg totally maybe could have kinda had a claim? Check
These videos are surprisingly easy to make, just look at reddit, this kid has bamboozled thousands of people.

She had fairly large breasts, the palm trees in the back ground looked awesome and do many people drive bare foot? I tried it once and it just wasn't right. Thank you.
She at least broke the law a few times here... She ran the stop sign at the end, also i am not sure if in florida it is legal to leave a car while it is idleing, it is at best poor judgement. I almost hoped one of the kids locked the doors and shut them. or better yet gotten in and driven away.
Intelligent? No. He's just regurgitating what his crazy culture taught him.
Let's have a closer look at what is happening here: He is using his phone to record somebody without that person's permission and then uploads this video online for thousands of people to see. Many of those viewers then proceed to make fun of the person who never agreed to any of this. This person lost the right to her own likeness and features in an uncomfortable video that can never be fully deleted from the internet ever again. And the little shit's argument is "this is my property". It's akin to justifying beating somebody up with a pipe by saying that one owns the pipe. A society in which this kind of reckless, asocial behavior is considered "normal" is truly crazy. Fuck this kid, fuck his entire generation and fuck its ridiculous sense of entitlement.
That's almost completely bullshit. They're in the middle of a street, so there's no assumption of privacy. Yes, he's using his phone to record the interaction, but he's not being secretive about it. If she didn't want to be recorded being a harpy, she could have stopped, gotten into her car, and left. She had the ability to disengage, and chose to continue being awful to some kids who were playing in the street.
Comparing that to someone beating another person with a pipe, which itself has the potential to render someone unable to disengage, is the crappiest straw man I've seen this week.

Let's have closer look at your ignorant argument:
In public, you have no expectation of privacy. Do you think when news outlets film busy sidewalks they stop potentially hundreds of people to get them to sign release forms? No.
Because you act like a lunatic in public, someone else has taken your likeness? This makes no sense. Don't want to be filmed attempting to hit a kid with your car? Don't do it in public. Don't threaten people either. None of these kids made her do any of the things she did. Those were all her own actions.
Filming someone in public is not the same as beating someone with a lead pipe. Are you insane? He was letting her know he wasn't going to sit there and let her take his property (cell phone, hoverboard). Even if someone is in the wrong, you don't have the right to take their property. If you stopped someone from drunk driving and you took their car home, that is theft.
Yes, people like the women in this video are ruining society. Also, please step down from your soapbox... It's not safe up there for you without your helmet
You say that as if this was the universal law of the universe. In Germany, for instance, you actually do have the right to your own likeness regardless of where you are. That's why you can get in trouble for focussing on individual strangers while filming in public. When you're not particularly focussing on anybody, it's different.
Don't want to be filmed attempting to...
How about not wanting to be filmed at all and then have it put on the internet? But I guess everybody know has to deal with it because you kids cannot live without your surveillance equipment on you all the time.
Filming someone in public is not the same as beating someone with a lead pipe.

Do you know how many cameras are filming public areas in America? Lots of cities have cameras on every street corner. Tons of businesses have security cameras. And by the way, a cell phone is not "surveillance equipment".
Using "reductio ad absurdum" like that just makes you look like a complete moron.
EDIT: fyi, /u/OscarTheFountain edited his/her comment and removed the "reductio ad absurdum" part. By the way, I'm not your "honey"
Wow...I start by saying that society is crazy for allowing this, then get the response that it is allowed (duh that was my point to begin with), give an example of a better alternative and then get shut down by "moot point".
Ok, so I guess all arguments against, let's say, torture are also "moot points" because the USA does it and if the USA does it, then it must be ok and therefore all arguments against torture must be moot points.

Surveillance by the state is a little different. For once, it's not uploaded to the internet for everybody to see.

Throwing around little name insults makes you look very intelligent. You're obviously a person with an abundance of brilliance and charm.

Don't act like an idiot in public and nobody wants to watch it on youtube.
A good alternative is the so-called German "Bildnisrecht".Taking pictures or videos in which another person is the main focus without his or her persmission should not be legal. Publishing such pictures or videos anywhere should be doubly illegal.
Look further than the end of you nose once in a while.
It's funny that the person who cannot even imagine a good alternative calls others shortsighted.

I live in europe. I know about the european ideas and they are not better.
The problem that anyone who understands the importance of free speech will appreciate is that this kind of law is very easy for powerful people in business and government to use to shield themselves.
If you wan't to live in that kind of place then fine, go live there.
Its a public space and you do not have to give permission to be filmed. If you're at your front porch and someone is in the street they can still legally photograph or film you because you are in plain sight from a public space.
As to the woman's likeness being smeared across the internet, how about you not act like a lunatic in public? If you feel the kids are in the wrong call the police non emergency number and tell them to go check it out, from my experience cops are very enthusiastic to check out public complaints on groups of minors. Even if they are in the street, you're in a fucking car. Drive past them.
Its a public space and you do not have to give permission to be filmed.
You say that as if this was the universal law of the universe. In Germany, for instance, you actually do have the right to your own likeness regardless of where you are. That's why you can get in trouble for focussing on individual strangers while filming in public. When you're not particularly focussing on anybody, it's different.
As to the woman's likeness being smeared across the internet, how about you not act like a lunatic in public?
So the appopriate punishment for doing something ill-advised or embarassing these days is to have it forever pinned to a giant bill-board for the entire world to see. And it's the same punishment for those who don't even do anything bad but who were misrepresented by a recording out of context, or those who just don't like being filmed at all. Yep, that's totally "normal". Not insane at all. Seriously, fuck this generation.
no I say that because it happened in florida, not Germany, go somewhere else with that argument.
and i'm not saying what is and is not an appropriate punishment. If I was that kid, you bet I would be recording to protect myself. As other people have stated, if anything were to have happened, the kid(s) would have lost the he said/she said the event would have become without the recording. also, I think anyone trying to hit anyone on purpose with a car and losing their freaking mind in public is a lot more than just 'ill advised' or 'embarassing'.
It's 100% legal to film somebody in public, same with taking pictures.
She shouldn't have gone off on a 14 year old with full knowledge he is recording if she didn't want to be cast in a bad light.
Your "pipe property" arguement is flawed in so many ways. Filming someone with your property and beating someone with your properties aren't even in the same ballpark. Hell they aren't in the same baseball league.
He's entitled as shit to play out in a cul de sac with his buddies on his hoverboards, on public property. At least he isn't in sitting on his ass eyes glued to the TV.

I get this all the time and it starts to piss me off. Do people really not understand what logical equivalence is? No, filming somebody and beating somebody are not identical. I never suggested otherwise. What I said is that the supposed justification is ridiculous in both cases for the same reasons. The pipe example was an extreme case used to illustrate this. Denying a black person a job solely because he is black and beating a black person solely because he is black are also wrong for the same reason, i.e. racism. That obviously doesn't mean that beating somebody and denying somebody a job are the same thing. Why do I have to coach you through reading simple sentences?

Why would hover boarding in the street be illegal? It's essentially a skateboard. And what do you mean the kids behavior? Him quickly backing away from the angry ham beast stepping at him? How tf is the kid a scammer, what did he get from this confrontation? Why do you assume the children are lying?
Honestly? If someone starts filming and harassing me I'd rather deal with paying for breaking their phone than having them try and get a rise out of me with a video and put it online for the very reasons you've just said.

Harassing is different than protecting yourself with video recordings. You think these kids were following her on foot, recording her? Physically taking someone's phone and breaking it can lead to a day in court for you on charges like battery, or worse. Walking away takes nearly no effort. Are you short tempered?
In the context of this video - this woman was harassed as she was driving away. Including, at the beginning of the video, a comment telling her the three of them would kick her ass if she wasn't a woman.
So yeah - in this particular situation, and not in some made up scenario to support your "in a perfect scenario" argument, I might've broken this kids phone, especially if the kids instigated this whole thing - and with the threatening things that were said at the beginning coming from the kids - that may well have been the case. Convenient it wasn't recorded!!

Just think about that for a minute. Multiple times she backed up at the kid while he was standing behind her. WHY??? She is driving away! She had plenty of oppotunities to drive away and not argue with a little kid.
At :55 she gets incredibly aggressive in the way she is charging towards the kid. Again at 1:40, reverses towards him at 2:15, and also didn't stop at the stop sign at 4:17.
Anything that happened before the video is hearsay.
Yes, they were in the street, but it was a cul-de-sac. Me and my friends spent half our childhoods playing in the street. It doesn't look to be a busy street so that shouldn't be an issue.

Make up your mind. Do you want to talk about what was witnessed in the video or not?
You would have been 100% in the wrong to break his phone. I know if you would have broke my phone, I would have broke your face.
Sounds like your mind is made up that the kids did no wrong, so there's no reason to waste my time on this.
And yes, I would've been in the wrong , I never said it would've been right. As for your reaction... you'd be shot dead if you tried, so, maybe not your best move.

I'm just going off what is available to me in the video. Antagonizing someone that is threatening you does not mean you get to break their property.

I see how your brain works. A couple wires crossed.
Yells at kids to stop playing in street. Threatens them
Kids antagonize adult
Adult commits battery, destroys or steals property
The shooting bit wouldn't have been appropriate in this video - but were it me, and I were harassed (they instigate) and filmed, and I knocked the camera out of the kids hands and broke it and then they came at me, then I'd put them down, and justifiably so.

Dude lol..
When I was 14, I would've fucking took her phone and kicked her review mirrors off of the car and told her to do something about it lmao(I was an asshole).. Fantastic self control by the part of the camera man and his friends.
But it seems like she was just trying to pick a fight or vent her frustration on some easy targets, but the kids others friends are bigger than her.. grown ass adult couldn't even pick on a little kid lol that's so embarrassing.
She is a total idiot, BUT That kid needs a good lesson in respect. He was being 100% aggressive towards her (passive aggressive) It's always selfish arseholes like this 14 year old clown, that shout about "Their" rights while, not showing any respect to anyone else.
I would have put my foot up his arse, he wouldn't have got away with that shit with a Man.
This is why we have kid's, taunting a drowning Man... They need a lesson in responsibility's !!!

At the beginning, he was apologizing for whatever he and his friends did wrong, and the woman escalated the situation by not driving away from them, like a mature adult would do. It appears they were just in the driveway, then the woman started to be aggressive and try to drive her car into the boy, like a totally normal person would do.

Let's not gloss over this kids behavior/demeanor. This kid needs a father in his life to kick his ass for being such a disrespectful little brat. He was purposely being a passive-aggressive little asshole. He needs to get flogged by a responsible parent once in a while.

Well, I'm from Canada and I got the belt or wooden spoon or switch every single day, growing up. I look back at those times and I thank GOD for the parents I had, that kept me in line. If not for them, I'd have turned out to be a little scumbag....but no, I did not mean a "closed-fist, ass-kicking"....just corporal punishment and an ass-chewing.
That isn't as bad as what a lot of others are doing.
I'm a firm believer that you can get the same (and better) effect without physical punishments. I think I can say the same as you regarding my upbringing, but I never received physical punishment even once (neither did my 3 siblings).
Not saying you're a terrible parent or that your parents were, but science and experience are pointing to the fact that there are equally good or better ways to get kids that behave well when they get older.
Personally I don't ever want kids (luckily, neither does my GF) so my interest is purely because of curiosity.
On a different topic, I like Canada! I could easily see myself living there for some years. It's scary close to the US though. I feel safer here in Norway.

Well, given the immigrant situation in Europe, there's Nor-way I'd live over there! rimshot
...but to get to your point, I don't care what "science" (whatever science you are referring to...hopefully not psychology)...can say what it wants. Millenials are a PERFECT example of why kids should be spanked (not overly spanked), just spanked, when necessary....and this kid in the video is the poster boy for that. The reason so many teachers, et. al, are having a hard time in school, is because these little brats know they can't be touched. In my day, the teacher would leave your indentation in the locker....that's why we grew up with more respect for our elders and did more for our world and ourselves than millennials will ever do. There's a reason millenials get no respect from the older generations.
The immigrant situation is mostly in the media. I live in Oslo (the "worst" city) and you don't really notice it that much except for media and Facebook comments :p
I can understand her rage a bit. There was a kid that looked
fifteen at the most.
He's blatantly swerving into traffic in my neighborhood, doesn't care and was obviously enjoying the reactions.
I ignored him and went around, the guy behind me gets out of his truck. He snatches the kids bike and tosses it in a pond next to the road. The kid yells, pulls out his phone and starts recording. The guy instantly snatches that and flicks it's next to the bike.
I knew I had to step in and do something, I pulled over and walked back to him, looked him straight in the eyes and shook his hand.

Good on the kid for not calling the whale what she is. A pathetic fat piece of shit. At least as far as I know he didn't. I couldn't stand listening to her for more than 1:30
She's lucky those kids are polite. She was a walking chirp target, just fucking asking for it. Fat, shit car, shit clothes, shit tats, shit attitude, probably fucking stupid, not attractive, possibly barren...

tbh if this was in a different neighborhood, someone would've just got in her car and drove off while she's out arguing with a 14 year old, then the 14 year old would've jumped her with his friends and left her on the street wondering wtf just happened
Technically, she was already assaulting him. Obviously the child doesn't know the difference between assault and battery ๐. Seriously though, the kid could have been a totally punk to her before he started filming, but it still wouldn't warrant this type of response from an adult.
I'm annoyed by everyone in this video, tbh. No one ever ends an argument with "You have a great day" and means it, it's a backhanded passive-aggressive way of saying "screw you".

That is false. They have an exception for places where they don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy where they might be overheard...the middle of a neighborhood qualifies for the exception since they literally had multiple people around hearing the entire thing.

This is what happens when stupid collides with stupid. The kid is antagonizing her but acting "polite" so he can post it online and come off as the good guy. He knows what he's doing. Every time she starts driving away, he says something he knows will reel her back in. She is also a complete idiot for obvious reasons. There were more than enough chances for both sides to walk away. Neither did. The only intelligent people in this video are the ones who kept their mouths shut.
I haven't read anymore than just a few top comments on here, but no one else thinks he's instigating? Yeah she's clearly having a bad day and letting it take control, but the kid is instigating allot and he knows it.
Yeah very true. And she's in the wrong for sure. But people are acting the like the kid is doing nothing wrong. That's when you grow up thinking you can do noting wrong, and turn into that lady.
Technically the lady has to yield to the children because if they in a neighborhood. More than likely there's a sign saying "children at play" which is basically saying watch out for children.
This kid obviously handled himself better than she did but sometimes I think videotaping and posting videos like this should be illegal. They escalate the situation, not deescalate. If I was mad at someone and then they put a camera in my face, I think it would make me angrier.
People are stressed and living tough lives. Not sure putting it all in videotape helps. I'm guessing that's not a popular opinion here.
That's because it's a wrong opinion. The camera possibly de-escalated this situation, ensuring that her bad behavior was recorded and she became aware that she wouldn't get away with violent assault.

To sit there and antagonize a stranger for no other reason than to put a stupid video on the internet. Get the hell out of there. Nobody who means anything to you gives a shit about your YouTube video.
We are all social human beings. What I've found more and more is people's legal interpretations thrown at each other in an effort to win.
The kid, probably coached from birth on his constitutional rights with finger wagging creates an atmosphere of contempt for this lady. Saying have a nice day is a statement to diminish the situation for the watcher. The one with the camera controls what we see and hear.
What's the lady's back story to this altercation?

Young man learns the hard way about "that time of the month". We always ate dinner as a family, my wife and two daughters. Once a fight blew up between the three. The dog and I were dumbfounded. Suddenly I realized and began laughing hysterically. They stopped, looked, I explained they were synced. Situation solved until the girls started college and had dorm roommates.
The kid's an honest cunt here, tbh. One of those shitheads that spend 30 mins researching American law and then try to "outlawyer" everyone. He could've legit walked away, but jnstead argued with a grown woman. Christ.
Mfw you are frying to shit on him instead of the adult along with being a retard and trying to intimidate a14along year old, reversed her car towards him AND claimed she didnt have to yield for pedestrians and if she hit them with her car its theur fault.
That's not even close to what I said. This thread shat on the adult enought, I just think the kids fucking annoying. I mean, 2 mins gojng on about muh property and reddit thinks he's smart LOL.
Damn this is some bitch ass trash who ain't got no shoes. Real fuckin heated with all dat screamin and heavy breathin. She needa suck a dick and quit bein a lil bitch.
Yes he handeled himself well, but his best course of action with his friends would be to not engage this crazy lady at all, if they just walked away over someones lawn she would have driven away.
Fucking white trash. This bitch obviously can't drive because of the giant dent in her front right hood and she's just throws strawmans at this kids left and right. He held his ground pretty good. Now just have the bitch "stand her ground" by pulling out a gun.
Whatever. If my mum saw that video (and I was the 14 year old) I'd have been getting a whoppin'. I feel old for growing up in a time when everything was the kid's fault.
This stupid cow can't control herself. She would've punched the kid if the camera wasn't rolling. Shouting your parents need to beat your ass while walking towards him and punching her hand says it all. Piece of human garbage.
sigh, videos like this can be so misleading. It's disturbing how people jump to conclusions. Not saying it is in this case, but nobody is seeing what led up to this event, the woman is probably an asshole, but kids can be pieces of shit pushing people over the limit.
Personal information, why?... why is this becoming a trend in reddit lately. Why is this shit not down already.
Rule 2. No Personal Information
Such as names, Facebook pages, phone numbers, addresses, etc.
This can also include contact information of public officials or groups (see rule 3). This is grounds for an immediate (and likely permanent) ban, so consider this a warning.
Some day after the young man gets his drivers license, he might look back at this situation and understand her frustration. And she needs to act like an adult in dealing with this situation, and especially not use such fowl language towards this young man. Lady, you might feel better, but you just look stupid. You can't win this argument.

"I don't have to yield!"
Bitch yes you do! Idk what states still allow you to not yield to pedestrians (in sure some don't care).
But in Colorado, if you don't yield to a pedestrian (which always has the right of way [from what I remember, it's okay to correct me]), you could be looking at some serious legal problems in your life.
I've hear Texas isn't exactly pedestrian friendly but I can't say that is fact, simply hearsay.
Common decency, it's a cul de sac and not a thoroughfare, you need to respect the residents of small suburban areas.
Trashy thigh long generic tattoo, and broken headlight faรงade told me everything I needed know about her attitude and driving etiquette.
Yes the kid was snarky with his "Have a good day" lines, but he remained cognizant and aware of his actions.
Actually they both sound pretty fucking stupid. As is the case with most arguments like this, the best solution is probably found somewhere in the middle. Something like, "don't swear at kids" and "don't play in the street."
What a sad state... both the young man and woman are idiots! Clearly he was antagonizing the lady. Why would you repeatedly aggregate someone who clearly has anger issues? People snap.... that's what people are forgetting. Ugh!
Why in all of these videos of people having aggressive confrontations do people feel the need to constantly intersperse their arguing with 'it's my right' 'i have a right to' 'hey you need to respect my rights.' Shoehorning the phrase 'my rights' into the conversation 50 times isn't going make people magically agree with you.
As a kid who grew up around entitled sociopath housewives with a God complex and pension for talking down to every kid they see; I absolutely laugh when people say "respect your elders."
Nobody is entitled to respect. You earn respect.

In a just world, you should be able to take this video to the police station, and the cops would issue her citations for backing up in the street, driving without shoes and running a stop sign.

That's a fucking residential neighborhood, kids have every motherfucking business to be in the road, it's your responsibility as an adult to slowly roll up to them, wait for them to move out of your way, and move back on your day, all of 5 seconds behind your earlier timeline. Fuck I hate people sometimes this video makes me want to put sugar in her tank.
i don't think it was anything close to intelligent to keep this argument going. the kid kept provoking this woman and just repeated over and over again what he probably learned from watching hours worth of road rage videos and the like on youtube.
Nah, the punk is being a POS just as much as she is being a bitch. Try pulling that sarcastic "Good day and move on." to a kid your own age when you don't have a camera rolling.

What a disgusting cow. She literally doesent work and lives off the government. Wonder how her 1996 carolla got fucked up? Hitting other kids while eating her McDonald's? When this bitch dies of a heart attack or jetsky accident, not a single person will donate to her funeral costs.
Of course she doesent have family and can afford it. Look at her. Look at her car! Look what she's spending her time doing right now? Trying to hit kids because they're playing in the street. Clearly no job, no family, and OBVIOUSLY no boyfriend or spouse.
Maybe she killed herself already? Nah, the she would have to take responsibility for her own actions.
She says she doesn't have to yield to them on the streets but I'm studying for my drivers license and taking a class and it literally says drivers has to yield to pretty much everyone and everything. Maybe it's different for each state? Can anyone confirm? I feel like this woman got her license without even knowing how to drive correctly
Am I in the bad when a teenager is looking at his and riding a bike and almost rides into me and my kids that I'm pulling in a cart and he says "make up your mind" when giving him the space to ride around and I tell what the fuck is wrong with you?

How can you be on the kid's side? Little fuck wouldn't stop running his mouth, sounded like a damn lawnmower. Sure he might be right, but if you're right while sounding like a little cunt then I'm still gonna hate you. I'm on the lady's side.
Because a full grown adult should know better AND act better than a 14 year old? The 14 year old acted like a... well 14 year old. The adult lady acted like a 10 year old. And you still side with the lady? You don't see the issue here?

She wanted to smack the little punk across the head but couldn't because he was filming the whole thing. I can completely understand her.
You can completely understand a barefoot woman in a beat up car stepping out to confront and threaten children?
The whole point is the adult in this video SHOULD be the bigger and more mature person. Yet the adult acted more immature and child like than the 14 year old did. If you think that is the appropriate reaction then I pray you never have children.

I would most definintely get out of the car if a little shit who's 20 years younger than me starts screaming like a moron. The video fucking starts with yelling... Yeah I'm SUUUURE the kid just went up to simply give a nice little apology and she answered "Fuck you". That little shit was clearly doing his best to provoke her, hoping for a reaction.
Edit: Here's how things should've gone down. He should have sincerely apologized, she should've answered either "It's okay" or "Fuck off you little shit", whatever she feels like. No matter what, he should've just answered "Yes ma'am".

Well it sure wouldn't surprise me if they'd steal the car. These are American kids we're talking about after all, with apparent zero sense of morality, who shoplifts, steal cars and break into homes.

Kids are not going to "toe the line" (whatever that means) every time, because they're kids, and kids are usually like slightly retarded adults (because they simply don't know better). I mean adults can also be stupid, but we can almost always assume that they were even more stupid as kids.
What annoys me here is that this kid is celebrated for being an annoying little shit. In America in general, kids seem to get in way less trouble when they act like morons. Often with the fucking "it's just a phase" excuse. Well put an end to that phase then!
As a kid, if the neighbour came over to my dad and said "your son has been doing this and that and I don't like it", my dad wouldn't go "HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT ABOUT MY BEAUTIFUL LITTLE SON?!", he'd make me apologize.

Yea lets just listen to every crazy bitch that tells us what to do. Just because someone is older than you doesn't mean they're in the right. They're in a neighborhood, maybe you never had a childhood or maybe you just stayed inside and played with legos all day and had no friends so you don't know, but kids play in the street in front of their house when living in a neighborhood. Shes an adult and should fucking act like one. Its sad when a 14 year old is acting more reasonable and mature than some 30 year old lady. And they have every right to film, especially when an adult is being unreasonably aggressive towards them.
Man, if I thought someone might actually "wanna go" with me, I'd film too, in case I ever needed it. Some of the people in this thread are evidence enough that there's an incredible bias against kids, in general. No attention paid to who's actually being the adult.
It pisses her off because she knows shes acting immature. The only time people ever have problems with being filmed in these situations is when they know they are in the wrong and are acting crazy. The kid has every right to film, because as he stated they are in a public space, not on private property. Call me disrespectful all you want, but if i was 14 and was in this kids position, i would have done the same thing. I certainly would not have listened to some crazy lady who i have no clue who she is try to tell me what to do and act like my parent just because theyre older than me. Should the kids have just walked away? Sure, but theyre kids and dont think about these types of things. But she is a grown ass adult and should have the mental capacity to collect herself and see the situation for what it is and go on with her day. If she does this kind of stuff to a bunch of 14 year olds playing in the street in front of their house, then its certainly not the first time she has acted like this and probably has problems with her temper. Shes a child and deserves to be treated as such. The idea that age means you deserve respect is ludicrous. Proper manners and being a decent human being wards respect. But until you show me that, i dont give a fuck about your age.

Or, he could have put his phone away and she might have assaulted him for it. She threatened to throw his phone in the gutter. That likely means putting hands on the boy, also the "your parents should beat you!" Implies she wanted to hit him. The kid tried to walk away. He actually starts turning around the first time she speeds up to the stop sign. She comes back. She's the adult. She should know better

He didn't just repeat that. In many different ways, in the middle of a very emotional situation, he articulated to her what they each were and were not allowed to do. He filmed it because she is exactly the type to make false accusations. Very few people can keep their heads straight in a fight-or-flight situation. He avoided the situation escalating into violence while not letting her get away with her bullshit. I have two teenage kids, and think his parents should be proud.

All along.
She is a pedophile harassing young boys .... double standards had it been an adult male doing the same we all know what the Internuts would say about it. Feminist
The title of this video is very misleading . This kid doesn't say anything intelligent . It's what any smart ass pansy teenager with a cellphone would say . Hell, he can't even form a proper sentence half the time . That woman should've just moved on with her day , and he should have just shut up like 30 seconds into the video .

"Intelligent" LOL The kid is just a smartass with no respect for others. Probably some kind of antisocial disorder combined with bad parenting. He also run into an redneck and filmed it.
Wtf. Why are all comments supportive of the 14-year-old. That lady should've obviously let it go, but he's the bigger asshole in this video trying to instigate shit after his friend was purportedly blocking the road. And I saw no attempted assault like the YouTube title suggests.
Sure, man. I guess everything's up for interpretation, but I saw no intent to run him over in that video. She just wanted to get the last word in, which is of course a totally inane idea especially against a 14-year-old.
We really need new laws around the world. Dumb enough to engage an adult in confrontation, dumb enough to be beaten, shot, run-over, taken out of the worlds collective misery.
It's not like she woke up and thought about having a go at a 14-year old, she was just driving, and they came to her causing trouble, then continued to cause trouble.
All the adults feeling sorry for this kid, you are the reason cops shoot kids. Your kids do not deserve to live. If they are so stupid they care more about finding ways to twist their rights to harass and annoy others, they should rather simply be put down so the rest of us don't have to put up with them.
To Quote the kid at the beginning
"retarded fuck, I wish you were a guy right now. Oh my god"
Honestly, you think it's alright for a 14-year old kid (only one of them actually seems anywhere near that young) to talk to a woman like that? That is literally how the video starts. No wonder she swears at him.
It seems like these kids were riding hover boards in a cul-de-sac, and this lady got upset because they were in the street when she tried to drive through.
So sure, that's annoying for her. But your response is that the kids don't deserve to live? That's like... Stalin-level brutality, man
"retarded fuck, I wish you were a guy right now. Oh my god"
They start by threatening violence to a woman. Don't try and play innocent with me. We both know other things went on before the camera started rolling.
The kid is clearly antagonizing the lady with his phone. Both people are acting like total assholes. The kid is supposed to be 14 and is acting like a 10 year old who keeps reciting the one line he read from "laws for dummy's." So they both fall well below the expectations society should have for them

The media demonizes teenage boys. That's wrong! Most of the stories in the press are about crimes committed by "hoodlums" or "cutaways" or even "louts." Do you know that three inner city kids watched a young man drown? It was a huge story. These bastards filmed this man drowning and they were literally laughing their heads off. Very bizarre stuff. So it's nice to hear a feel good story once in a while. But this isn't it. These little rapists are terrorizing this woman for no good reason. They're vagrants who need to get off the street and get jobs for Christ's sake. Stop pretending like they're articulate. They're stupid losers. Oh and by the way, their jobs should be cutting grass or flipping hamburgers. Their not future rap stars or basketball players. Their bums.

Haha. Curious that we don't see any of the video from before she gets angry at him. Having known plenty of 14 year old boys, and having been one myself, I really doubt he's the innocent victim in all this. Everyone here's talking about how he handled himself really well. No he didn't. He was being a douchey little cunt most of the time who occasionally calmed down and sounded more reasonable than the woman but at no point was he "surprisingly intelligent". Considering one of the first things we hear in the video is the guy's friend making a remark suggesting he wanted to assault the woman, no one should have sympathy for, or side with, this guy or his friends. The woman had every right to confront people who initiated remarks of violence.
Everyone in the video is. He's the only one being praised, so it was only worth pointing out his reasons not to be. What's really odd is everyone falling sucker to a video that doesn't give us enough information to draw any of the conclusions that this kid was, unprovoked, being treated unfairly. And yet, that is the unanimous conclusion.
Well, give me a scenario where her response to these kids would be considered understandable? She mentions "you guys were in the road" and nothing else. I've seen plenty of people get triggered by something as simple as this. Happens all the time. Even I find myself saying (to myself) "get the fuck out of the road", but I don't lose my goddamned mind over it
I don't think her response is understandable or justifiable. She overreacted. My point is the kid and his friends weren't being the polite and upstanding citizens everyone in the comments is treating them as, poor victims of an outraging woman. They overreacted as well. The first thing we hear is a guy saying he wishes the lady was a dude, presumably so he could... compare dick sizes? A minute later one of them spits on her car. Their behavior isn't defensible, and hers isn't justified. Everyone loses.
I agree. And as I recently mentioned, all of us have a moment or two where we weren't at our best (in public). We're just lucky it wasn't caught on video. I don't feel bad for this woman, but I can't say I've never been triggered a time or two, myself. I hope I am smart enough to simply shut up and back down when the camera comes out
Yeah, I think it being caught on camera is the only thing that sets this apart. I've lost my cool before, and I've certainly witnessed others losing their cool, but I'm not aware of these events ever being caught on video and posted online to immortalize a few brief minutes that people would rather forget. I think with any memorable public encounter, if it goes a certain way we extrapolate a much larger picture of that person in our mind and think that specific encounter represents the quality of their person. Especially if it's caught on camera.

No, let me explain, this isn't illegal. Are there illegal things happening? Yes. The kids are basically loitering/jaywalking (I guess), the lady stop her car in the middle of the road, and then makes two other traffic violations by slamming her car in reverse. The kid had every reasonable right to record her. She came at him in a threatening manner. When what she should have done is just call the cops and say he these kids keep crowding the street can you do something about or talk to their parents. It's a wash man. This video isn't illegal the kid recorded probably cause he was ass but you could argue he legit thought that lady was going to do something to him. You're wrong.

If you work in the service industry for a few months, you'll quickly realize most people never grow out of their tantrum phase. It's actually amazing what will set some people off.

This! I worked at one of two restaurants in my hometown for years. One time our restaurant owner decided it would be a good idea to take our only cook and cashier and have them hand deliver pizzas (which he never even had fixed before). I didn't mind, though. I took a lot of pride in our food and was happy to be outside for a change.
Our very first delivery a storm hit and we were stranded. It was hard enough to stay positive and my friend kept insisting we just turn around. Despite this, we kept pushing until the storm eventually settled and made it to the gentleman's house.
Upon arrival, he realized we had forgotten his drink he never ordered in the first place. We apologized profusely but he just wasn't having it. Irate, he shouted "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO EAT THIS WITHOUT MY DIET DR. KELP?!" and slammed the door in my face. Exhausted, I just sat and cried.
Sometime afterwards my friend, the cashier, talked him down and said he ate every last bite. That was our first and last delivery.

At 320 a night, 5 nights a week, 50 weeks of the year, you are making 80k/yr. I managed a chain where servers and especially bartenders cleared 320 a shift easy, mostly cash, every shift. Why is this so crazy to people? Not to mention working doubles, picking up extra shifts, and the money printers that are drinking holidays.

Not saying this is impossible, just someone making 80 grand a year and still working at a fast food chain... I'll just say there used to be a special pizza place where you could order a pizza with the special ingredient in it and it'd be tasty and get you high. Point is he doesn't make the money or doesn't do it legally. Or he's got dumb time management.

I have a theory that some people want to be unhappy. I worked at a comedy club, where you'd expect most people come ready to laugh and have a good time... But so many people would go looking for things to be upset about. "This isn't the seat I want, this table is too small, these drinks are too expensive, this material offends me," it would go on and on. Is it really so hard to just sit and enjoy yourself?!

I have a pet theory that people stick with the level of social development they acquire during the last or "highest level" of prolonged social interaction they have experienced.
For many people, this is high school.
For this woman, I think the last time she experienced prolonged social interaction would have been high school or a job where she was surrounded by others who didn't develop socially past high school.
This would explain why she's behaving like those high schoolers, she seems so comfortable arguing like that.

I suppose you could consider it a part of the service industry, but I work on a Desktop team for a gigantic corporation. It's incredible to me that end users I work with regularly will yell at us, belittle us, and try to report us to our managers for the most inane things (sometimes it's literally for following company policy)- and then the very next day behave as though nothing ever happened.
Again and again and again... It has completely destroyed my faith in humanity.

My 5+ years in customer service have taught me one thing: extenuating circumstances are the sole reason for these kinds of blow ups. It's something else, not this particular interaction, that set them off. Everybody's waking around with a clock ticking on their own bomb, and everybody's clock is times differently, and their bombs are different sizes.

Today a waitress friend of mine had a customer spill a little butter on her own dress and get super upset about her top being ruined. My friend tried to offer her more butter (idk why that made me laugh when she told me that) and a free drink to make up for it, but the lady refused.
Later she and her friend both reviewed the pub on FB and gave it shitty reviews, talking about how her favourite top was ruined and "the waitress couldn't give a shit." (Nevermind that the last part is 100% true)

I worked in the service industry for years and I disagree, 99% of people grow out of their tantrum phase and can handle minor inconveniences without throwing a fit. It's 1% of the population that seem to leave the house with the sole purpose of harassing and humiliating people whose job it is to serve the public, unfortunately that 1 asshole who comes in can put you in a shit mood for the rest of the day.
One more thing, nearly anyone is capable of a public tantrum if pushed far enough. Sure this lady is probably just being immature but there is a small chance she got some terrible news 5 minutes before this video and then when some kids skateboarding or hoverboarding were zooming in and out in front of her car and that she lost judgement and snapped.

I worked at a comedy club! I get that people get mad when they're hungry, but I was serving beer to people who came ready to laugh. Then their table would be smaller than they expected, and it would entirely ruin their night and they'd take it out on me/the other staff. I never took it personally, I'd just roll my eyes and avoid their table, but some of my co-workers would get really upset about it.

Thats the same for basically any crap low pay job but mostly in the service industry and when you work retail jobs where you run into a lot of shitty people.
Best example I have is one guy who refused to listen to reason and I remained polite and respectful even as he insulting me even talking about my family etc. Now this whole time I was leaning against a wall trying to calm him down but he got mad enough to throw a punch which I dodged and I started to laugh my ass off as he was grabbing his hand which was clearly broken from him punching the wall. Best part was the dumbass wanted me to pay his medical bill for HIM punching the wall and breaking HIS hand.

A lot of people just feel the need to be pricks to everyone who even slightly wrongs or inconveniences them. A little respect and sympathy go a long way to make the entire interaction much less volatile.
I had a guy lay on the horn behind me while I was walking through a parking lot and then get out of his car and attempt to talk to me like a child. I just didn't notice him there and all he had to do was tap the horn and then have a polite conversation with me about being aware of my surroundings if it was really a big deal to him - it's not like I was intentionally blocking him from where he wanted to go. I politely told him "go fuck yourself" and walked away. He threatened to call the cops on me for some reason, as if they would be able to do anything, as I was walking away. I'm assuming this interaction with the kid is something similar.
Interactions like this never have to happen. It's really stupid that they do. Everyone has different lives, different experiences, and different habits and not everyone is going to behave the same exact way you do.

I forget the episode of Radiolab, but there is a very applicable segment for explaining this. Say for instance, the driver was having a bad day. Then she misinterprets something that this kid was doing, frustration compounds, and she feels the need to threaten him and start yelling, basically anything to express herself. She's unlikely to ever chill out unless she starts off relaxed and listens to him because her bad mood is only going to persist through the encounter, leading her to feel the need to keep harassing him. It takes a lot of cognizance to always know when to back off, and while we don't always get on a r/videos post for yelling at some kid, there are times when everyone needs to change how we express frustration sooner than it actually occurs to us.

She parks her car right in the middle of a road to argue with the teenager while ignorantly spouting off palpably false claims, she's not wearing a seat belt, and she runs the stop sign at the end of the video.

Agreed.

It's not worth getting into arguments with teens, she should just let them be and carry on.

Common misconception, they just wire them to the windshield wipers. When you put the wipers on high it turns on the hazard lights and limits the cars speed to 15 MPH. This system also prevents the car from being able to switch lanes to the right.

That's just for the bluehairs. For people her age the blinkers are left anabled in all 50 states to act as an IQ test that a lot of people fail. It's how they can broadcast their idiocy long range to everyone driving near them, so people know to keep a long distance.

That's what got me off it.. Lived in a big city with a 4 mile commute that took hours. Had a 1,600lb sport clutch in an old Toyota pickup. My left leg nearly grew twice as big as my right from working the clutch in traffic so much. It's fun when you're younger but as I age I realize that it's not worth the headaches any more.

if you're in a higher gear, you can downshift to a lower gear (like 5th to 3rd) and the engine will slow the fuck down real quick.
Spark_Dancer ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 17:45:23 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
If anyone's interested in trying this you can use it to slow your descent down a steep hill without using the breaks, even if you're driving an automatic transmission vehicle. Ease off the gas, then move the gear selector from D to one of the numbers. Don't use gear 1 at speed even if your car allows it.
You will hear the engine roar and see the RPM climb dramatically. This is normal as long as you aren't letting it get close to it's limits. You aren't using up extra gas or anything.
Long-Time-Coming ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 23:02:30 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
From what I remember from an episode of top gear is that this is actually way more fuel efficient than putting your car in neutral or pressing the clutch down and coasting. The car actually ends up using more fuel keeping the engine running in the last two options. Not sure if this still applies to automatic cars as I'm fairly sure they were just talking about standard, although I'm sure it's a similar concept unless something happens with the computing side in automatics. An odd fact that stuck with me from obsessively watching TG.

I very nearly hit a woman once because my sandal caught on the gas pedal. I had just started accelerating out of a massive park when I saw a lady a little ways up ahead about to cross the road. I tried to lift my foot to hover over the brake, but my foot caught, snapped back, and tapped the gas, and made my car lurch forward. I got my foot to the brake and stopped, but not before I scared the life out of that poor woman.
I apologized over and over while she shouted profanity. I've never been more pleasant and polite to someone calling me names. She deserved the stress release. I stopped wearing certain styles of shoe when I drove.

I have to drive with no shoes so my feet don't get caught under the brake pedal when I let off the gas. The side of my shoe will catch the brake pedal and prevent me from letting off the gas when I should be braking. Anybody else here with a larger shoe size will probably have had the same problem.

Barefoot driving itself is not a crime, but it is strongly discouraged. Ohio for example wrote the following warning directly into law.
Your feet can easily slip off the pedals and are more likely to miss the pedals entirely. That's not even considering what happens when you get into an accident. I don't know about you but I'd rather have shoes on if I want to get out of an recently crashed car. It might not be lifesaving but will at the very least protect from broken glass or burns
g2g079 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 17:44:00 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

ctaps148 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 18:11:06 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Sure, if you want to, but the extra protection would have less benefit. In the event of a collision, your upper body is cushioned by several airbags, and many cars even come with knee airbags now. But there are no airbags for your feet. The only protection between the metal in the footwell and your tender flesh are the shoes on your feet.
Tsrdrum ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 18:10:47 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Why does this misconception exist? I can't think of a way being barefoot compromises your ability to do anything in a car. In fact, I find driving with shoes on makes it more difficult to feel which pedal you're on, and my shoes sometimes get stuck behind the brake pedal for a second as I'm lifting my foot off the accelerator. I just started driving barefoot a few days ago after hearing a freakonomics episode about the background and history of wearing shoes, which inspired me to go around barefoot or in socks most places except restaurants. I don't want to drive unsafely but I honestly can't think of how being barefoot while driving could possibly be unsafe.

First of, thanks for calling me a jackass. That is very classy of you.
"They" would refer to whoever is writing you a citation. Yes the law is written so broadly because literally anything can obstruct your view. It's up to the cop to decide if it warrants a ticket and up the the judge to decide if it will be upheld.

TIL! In Belgium on the other hand, it's illegal to drive barefoot, and illegal to drive with flip-flops. Your footwear is required to have a strap around the back of your foot. Like I've seen some of those crocs that have a heel-strap especially for that purpose. This is to prevent your foot from slipping out of your shoe/flipflops/etc.

As someone else said, it is legal to drive barefoot. However, if you're in an accident and it (miraculously) ends up in court, it is worth mentioning to your lawyer that the other driver was/wasn't barefoot when driving. Something about the way pressure is distributed over the pedals while wearing shoes, makes it easier to push them when reacting.

In Flordia (I think it's Flordia because of the licence plate) pedestrians have the right of way in cross walks, otherwise pedestrians are supposed to yeild to cars.
I'm not saying that her thretening/trying to mow down a bunch of kids is the right thing to do, or that she would get away with it, but the kids don't have the right of way. Also if they're on hover boards they might be considered vehicles so then they would have the right of way.

Even in a state where it is not the law to yield to pedestrians (except in parking lots) it's still something you do, because manslaughter with a motor vehicle is still against the fucking law.

Not really. "Pedestrians always have the right of way" is actually a myth. If you jaywalk and get hit (or do something else illegal) then the pedestrian is at fault.
With that being said as a driver, you need to do whatever you need to to keep yourself from hitting them. If someone was jaywalking and you see them and go "Well, they're breaking the law so I'm going to plow into them!" It won't end well for the driver. If you're driving through a green light and a pedestrian walks right in front of you while you're going 30 mph in the middle of the intersection, the pedestrian would be at fault.
Playing on the street would be pretty easy to see though, unless they're around a corner or something.

IANAL, but the way I always saw it was -- A driver is responsible for avoiding every single hazard they have a reasonable chance of avoiding. So you've got the stopping distance from the speed limit - reductions for bad conditions + a fraction of a second reaction time. Someone steps out inside that window, you're legally off the hook. Someone's in the road outside that window and you're legally on the hook even if they were jaywalking or otherwise not supposed to be there.
Same deal with hitting someone who brakechecks you -- yeah they did a universally stupid thing, and illegal -- but you can't get caught up in the accident if you're also driving legally.

It's only law to yeild to pedestrians at crosswalks. This is why J-walking is illegal. Or playing in the middle of the street. What is illegal is running stop signs, reversing through a road, and using that method of stupidity to get her point across to 14-year olds does not help image.

In most states (all?) you're not supposed to yeald to J-walkers. If you see someone standing to cross the road at what is not an officially marked crosswalk, you are not supposed to stop. It could cause vehicles behind you to get in a wreck because you stopped suddenly. If they're already in the road you obviously have to slow down/stop, though.

I feel like you're drilling down on the strict legal definition of yield (that person is waiting, I must stop and offer them the right-of-way) versus the casual use in this thread - The lady is driving down a road with a clearly visible pedestrian, she must yield to the pedestrian standing in the middle of the road even if the pedestrian isn't legally supposed to block the car's right-of-way.

I think she's saying that because you don't have to yield for someone who's about to cross a street illegally. Like if someone was standing on the median in the middle of a busy street you wouldn't stop for them to cross.
Completely different story if they were already in the road though, of course you'd have to yield.

it depends on where you are. In Ontario, in Canada, pedestrians don't have the right of way unless they are in a marked crosswalk, and even then it's dicey. Compare with Alberta, where pedestrians DO have the right of way, regardless of J-walking status or other considerations.

If it isn't written down in a statute or binding legal decision stating those are in fact considered vehicles, then they are pedestrians. Period.
Oznog99 ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 21:00:02 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
No, they're quite likely vehicles, which are still generally legal, but it does vary:
http://abc7.com/news/parents-upset-over-new-state-hoverboard-law/1149030/
Washington state, for example, says pedestrian is a "means of conveyance propelled by human power other than a bicycle". So skateboarders are pedestrians, but NOT electric skateboards, including hoverboards. Those are motorized vehicles.
My most likely case for this video is they were milling around blocking the street- probably habitually- and harassed her instead of getting out of the way.

I don't see her trying to hit anyone. If so, it's not shown. She backs up to yell at them again, arguably pointless, but I don't see any indication she was trying to hit them or got anywhere close to such a thing. THEY are yelling like she's trying to run them over, which is bogus.
doc_samson ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 01:45:34 on July 24, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I wasn't saying they definitely aren't vehicles, just that if there is nothing in the law that would either specify them as vehicles or that implies they are or are not vehicles, then it should default to them being pedestrians. Of course a judge may interpret vague laws differently. But if it is written like that in statute then certainly they would be vehicles.
I agree with you though, I assumed they were just screwing around in the road and generally being dicks. Doesn't give her the right to escalate, but the anger is understandable. She said she's dealt with it for a long time and was tired of it. Once you reach a certain age you just want to mount spikes and machine guns on your car to deal with shitheads.

Actually if you pause the video and really look her over(like I just did) you would see that she isn't more than a little overweight. She has a big fat mouth for sure. Her neck is not fat, her torso might be but you can't really tell, her legs are not fat, she does have huge titties. It would be hard to judge her "fatness" without removing her clothes.

There is definitely a "type" that advocates for hitting kids. Sure, they could be doing worse. They usually have an apartment, a car, a job, and reasonable social skills. But they also live paycheck to paycheck, that apartment is $300 a month, the car is a banged up '96 Honda, they look like this woman, wear sweatpants to Walmart, and spend long evenings at a local tavern.

Shit it's more of a southern thing anyway. I remember picking my own switch from the willow tree as a kid, just like my cousins, friends, whoever else. I also grew up going to private school, a good college, and grad school. One of my cousins is currently in undergrad at a good university, and the other is in the final year of medical school.
There's nothing wrong with things like spanking imo as I think there are benefits from it. Now if you're legitimately beating your kid to the point they are hurt, then thats fucked. But people saying things like spanking oare wrong have probably never been spanked themseleves, it's not as bad as people make it out to be and it's usually effective.
I don't get this narrative that all kids who are switched/spanked end up as trashy people that don't know how to spend money. Maybe it's just a southern thing, but literally every person I grew up with either got belted/switched/spanked and they all turned out fine. Granted I'm not that for belting/switching, but spanking isn't that bad. (Even switches weren't that bad, I would just prefer to not do that to my kid as that shit stings like a mother).
Edit: Lol spanking only hurts for about 5 seconds, have any of you who disagree with it actually been spanked before? I don't see how that's 'beating your kid' if anything I think it's was less volatile than screaming at your kid/grounding them for months on end.
Saiboogu ยท 13 points ยท Posted at 18:35:17 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Not buying it. Sure, there's varying degrees of assault - one spanking isn't "equal" to physically beating someone, which tends to imply multiple punches and other hard blows.
But ultimately it all boils down to physical violence to demonstrate your authority. Whether it's a spank or a punch or a switch, it teaches the lesson that "might is right," and that physical victory is a valid means to prove yourself right.
It provides a shortcut to enforced behavior without actually teaching the reasons that is desirable behavior, and it leaves behind the cognitive dissonance that "We do not strike others" and "My parents struck me to teach me a lesson / because they love me / fill in your own justification."
In my eyes the only need for physicality comes from removing someone from danger or removing them from being a disruption - ie grab your kid's hand with the force necessary to stop them if they're about to dart in the road or grab a sharp thing. Pick your child up and carry them out or to a private spot if they're throwing a fit, a tantrum, not following directions.
Striking someone isn't necessary, whether it's light or hard, regardless of what you call it. It's a shortcut.
Survival isn't an endorsement of a parenting method.

Interesting argument, also thanks for actually giving a detailed argument rather than just coming out swinging with insults like a lot of people have been doing ITT.
Anyway, ideally I would never want to spank my child, I also don't think I'll ever spank my kid, but I get why people do it. I also think there are certain situations where spanking is beneficial still, for example:
If my kid is being a bully to everyone at school/starting fights, then I think it'd be beneficial to spank him. If I spanked him and tell him look, you're beating up on all these other kids how does it feel to have someone hit you (Pop on the fanny)? I think it would deter my kid from acting out again physically.
Now I think spanking is bad if you're spanking your kid over every little thing like grades/melt downs/whatever else. Shoot I had one friend who used to get beat with those things that are used to shut your blinds. Now I was like holy fuck that's harsh as shit, and I see that as the line you shouldn't cross, which was only made worse because they were beating him over making anything other than an "A." Now I get how that's fucked up completely, but I still don't see how a handful of pops on the butt (over the coarse of an entire childhood) is really that bad.
I guess I should also clarify real quick that I see spanking as good if its one hard firm pop on the butt. I also think it's important to not hit the kid full force, for example my mom was the one who spanked me not my dad, as my dad is a big ass dude so he thought it'd be excessive for him to spank me. Also I got switched by my grandma (she was bitch and I hate switches still) which is why the AP thing is pretty messed up to me because he was an NFL RB who was switching his kid... that can legit mess up the kid.
See I agree with this, but I've also seen parents go way to far with punishments like 'timeouts.' At least around where I am, there are still people who take there kids and lock them in the car when they misbehave, and don't see it as harsh at all. If you ever asks those parents why they think that stuff is ok, they will tell you it's because they aren't actually hurting the child... but fuck idk if it's cause I'm claustrophobic or what, but I see that as extremely messed up. I feel like spanking can be the same way.
If you take your child and spank him firm, not hard, and only enough to get the point across then I don't see it as a big deal. If you are hitting him as hard as possible, multiple times, or with foreign objects then I think that's entering the abuse level... just as I see timeouts as a justified means of punishment, but I see it moving to that abuse level when your locking your kid in closets/cars/whatever.
Also I just realized how much I wrote, I'm sorry for the wall of text! Again though, thanks for giving an actual reply/argument rather than some of the other stuff people have been saying on here. I think I was just more or less pissed because the guy above is saying those who are spanked will end up as the People of Walmart... like damn I think there's so many different factors that lead to people ending up like that... and I think people interpretted me saying spanking as hauling off and beating the ever living fuck out of a kid. I mean it as a hard firm smack on the behind, one of those 5 second stingers that make you say ow I don't really want to do that again. I think my parents also did a good job with it by making sure to never spank me if they were drinking, never spank me super hard, never yelled at me leading up/during/after the spanking, and make sure to sit down and talk afterwords.
Then again maybe I just see spanking as more ok because I grew up around it and I never felt it was excessive. Idk maybe I'm wrong but it's just my POV because I think my parents handled it really well. ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ Anyway once again thanks for not flaming and being constructive! I completely see your point of view and it makes a lot of logical sense, I think it's just one of those things where my personal experience for just makes me see it differently.

The dude above said people who have been spanked/switched end up as unsucessful bottom dwellers in society, I'm simply saying it's far from the truth. The south is rampant with those forms of punishment (or at least it was as I was growing up) and everyone turned out fine that I knew. I guess I should go put on my camo and go to wallmart with my government check as a southern boy who got his fanny popped right?
Spanking isn't that bad, it hurts for all of 5 seconds then goes away. I'm not saying beat the fuck out of your child or do anything that legitamently hurts the kid, but fuck y'all act like things like spanking are capital punishment that ruins lives. I've never seen anyone's life ruined from a few pops of the fanny (Although I'm not a fan of switches, that shit blows lmao).

But there are ways NOT to raise kids, and physical punishment is one of them. There is an overwhelming body of research implicating "normative physical punishment" with seriously negative outcomes for the children. Sure, if a parent hits their kids to make them obey their parent in the moment, the kids will probably do it to avoid physical pain... But think about what kind of damage that does to a child. Is spanking guaranteed to ruin a child of you do it? No. But it's lazy and cruel parenting to resort to physical abuse to enforce your authority with your kids.

Not 100% true. It depends on the kid. I'm not advocating child abuse mind you. I have raised 3 children, and 2 of them were best served by taking away the things they enjoyed, giving them extra chores, and the like. The other one had a "you're not going to spank me, so I can talk to others and treat others any way I like" attitude, and the only way to correct that was to spank him. It was always the last option, and I always gave him plenty of opportunity to correct his actions before we went down that road. It was very effective with him, and he turned out to be a very productive and kind person. When done responsibly, this is actually an effective discipline for some children. The key word here is "responsibly". There are some parents out there that don't have the self control or the common sense to be given this responsibility.
Edit: As a side note, I always sat down and talked to him afterwards, explained why I did what I did, discussed the actions that led to the punishment, and made it very clear that I still loved him and would always be here for him no matter what.

He isn't the only one. I spanked the other two a couple of times. I get that you're trying to turn my parenting into some kind of traumatic event, but you're just wrong in this case. I grew up in a very abusive household. My stepfather was an abusive alcoholic. He would beat me with sticks, fists, or anything else he could get his hands on. He chased me around the house with a loaded pistol when I was 8. Understand that I'm no stranger to abuse. That's not what this is. For a long time I had the same perspective as you. "There's no reason to ever resort to physical punishment with a child", so I understand where you're coming from. I felt that way until I was raising my own children and my options were exhausted. I had tried everything. Nothing worked. So I sat down and thought about the most effective way to implement this discipline, and how to do it in a way that achieved the results I needed without causing any long lasting trauma. We fostered a loving and open home environment. Encouraged the kids to talk to us. Taught them responsibility and kindness. I don't feel that disciplining children is wrong. It's how and why you do it that can be the problem.

Among all the other (wonderful) things you taught, you also taught them that violence is a valid option to select in handling day to day problems.
I'm not trying to make your parenting out to be terrible, and perhaps that is what the other person was trying to do - get at you with guilt. But I will not agree that your options were truly exhausted. I've been stressed to the point of breaking in my parenting experience, I've truly wondered if that was the way to go before - but I've managed it. My kids treat people with respect. They act well in public, and don't treat each other any worst than siblings are apt to do in childhood. When there's bad behavior we try talking things through and failing that we remove people from situations ("OK, if you won't treat so-and-so nicely while they're playing with their stuff across the room, you don't get to be in the toy room anymore - sit in your bed until you're ready to apologize and see what you did wrong" as an example), or remove privileges until they earned them back by not only eliminating the bad behavior but going above and beyond with good behavior (Stop messing with your sister's toys, and go pick up extra chores for awhile without complaint or prompting, for example).
I've known plenty of friends and family who spank or threaten spanking as a punishment, and none of them are facing worst behavior than we've addressed without spanking. None of their kids are any better behaved - in some cases quite the opposite, and they simply learn to better hide bad behavior.
tl;dr - Spanking is a shortcut to immediate results, but teaches that violence is a valid tool for human interaction. Bad lesson to teach, and self perpetuating.

Yeah, I get what you're saying, and I appreciate the perspective, but this particular child had some pretty nasty tendencies. Things that if done as an adult would lead to prison sentences or death. We had tried therapy, positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement in things like time outs, taking privileges, extra chores, among quite a few others. He only respected or responded to physical dominance. He would extort and bully other children, he would manipulate therapists and everyone else around him, he would steal, lie, and generally treat people as either objects or obsticals. These were traits that needed to be removed before he got older and started hurting people. He wasn't your typical child, and he had to be handled differently than most kids. We really did try everything that was available to us before deciding on this form of discipline. I wouldn't suggest it with every child. You have to put in the work. Jumping straight to something like this is lazy and dangerous. Notice I said "not 100% true" in my original post. I truly believe that physical punishment should be the absolute last resort, but I feel that it is a viable option with some children IF DONE CORRECTLY. It worked. The kid turned out better than we could have ever imagined. It was a gamble, and it paid off. I would much rather deal with the pain of disciplinary action that I hated to administer, and the indiscriminate downvotes from people that were never in my shoes, than deal with the worry of a child at risk of dying from drugs, violence, or whatever else and thinking to myself "I should have tried harder."

Undisciplined children are cancer. Some kids are hard headed and require a pop on the butt every once in a while to get their attention. I know parents who don't discipline their children, don't even tell them no. They're rotten kids.

Even if you don't view corporal punishment as inherently immoral, there are many studies1 that show that spanking is horribly ineffective and contributes to antisocial behavior.

It's not immoral. There is nothing immoral about it.
And studies are great but studies are pretty useless on a case by case basis. Studies give trend for a general population, which more than likely is lined with unfit parents. If I had a dollar for every useless study I've heard about X or Y causing cancer I would never eat anything.
It's a grey subject and I hope that legislation is never passed to ban physical discipline in the domestic setting. Beating and bruising and starving and isolation are not what I'm talking about here, however. Those are heinous crimes no matter the age of the victim.

That's just not true at all. This isn't some black and white topic lol. "It's never okay to spank your children." What in life is that certain... you may have that philosophy sure, and there's nothing wrong with that. But some parents don't teach that way, and there's nothing wrong with that either. I was spanked as a child. I have a fantastic relationship with my parents, I love them to death and thank god that they did what it took to teach me right from wrong. I cussed out my grandma once and she put a drop soap on my tongue. I never did it again. I'm not here 20 years later having nightmares about the soap or the belt.
When I have children, I imagine there will be points in my life where physical discipline will be necessary. That doesn't mean I've fucked up at all. It just means that there is more than one way to skin a cat.

Sure, from your perspective. While I agree that life is not black and white, I would say that we may see shades of grey differently.
I think that physical discipline is a good tool when used correctly. It has to be used correctly though, and cannot be abused and lines cannot be crossed. But people saying that there is never a time to physically discipline a child is hypocritical at best when looking at it with respect to your black and white argument. Can't have it both ways.

No, actually there are long term studies that prove empirically that spanking your children makes them turn out worse. It's literally a black and white issue you are just wrong.

Well I believe that there are times in life where violence can be a necessary plan of action. I know you're going to have difficulty understanding that with your limited worldview. You seem like the type of person who hears the word violence and you instantly tune everything out that follows it.
I was in the military. Violence was necessary to train people. it creates a stressful environment which mirrors the oftimes stressful life that being in the military can be.
You're not going to prove anybody "wrong". You literally can't prove me wrong on this subject. Not because you are incapable, but because the dichotomy of right and wrong doesn't exist here. If that's your goal, then you should just quit.

It's different beating a kid, and giving him a spank when he doesn't listen to reason (because, you know, he is 3 and doesn't understand reason).
My parents only spanked me twice I think, both times they already had tried speaking and asking for me to stop and it didn't work, so to stop me from misbehaving, and learn to not do that again, they spanked me. I really don't see a problem with that.

Because she was clearly beatend as a kid.
And FYI there's a difference beternal beatinget your child and giving them a slap on the button (or whatever people do these days). Nothing wrong with mild, physical conditioning so a child acting rude or being violent learns to behave. Of course people often forget it's a combination of physical and verbal interaction that tends to work best.
YonansUmo ยท 18 points ยท Posted at 15:59:57 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Actually there is a problem with a bottom slap. Children are not adults, lightly hitting other adults is okay-ish, but they can handle it. Children can't handle it right, it messes them up. Statistically, children who are even lightly spanked are way more likely to end becoming anti-social and engage in violent behavior.
Children rely on their parents for feelings of safety, they can't feel safe if they're afraid of getting hit. And nobody want's to get hit, no matter how soft.
EDIT: Down vote me all you want. These aren't even my personal beliefs, they're just facts that anyone can find on the internet.

I mean, if you saw an adult doing something you don't approve of, you can just walk up to them, take off your belt and start beating them. Cops can't arrest you for that, because you're teaching the other person a lesson. It's totally fine.
Oh wait, no, sorry, it's only okay if you assault your own kids. Because that's what parents are for. Making their children afraid.

I deliver pizzas, and we're right in front of a college campus. As such, I find myself traveling through said campus multiple times daily.
I of course always keep a sharp eye out for pedestrians, but there's been a couple of close calls where some dumbass college kid looking at their phone just strolls right out directly in front of me while not even looking up from their phone. They weren't even using the cross walk which was only a few hundred feet down.
Even with me watching and only doing like 30 MPH, they both almost wound up in the hospital and got me fired.
It's the responsibility of the people in vehicles to not hit pedestrians but I do also believe that at least some of that responsibility falls on the pedestrians themselves. I mean god damn, if you're not going to use the cross walk, at least stop and look both ways.

IANAL - Under most jurisdictions, hitting someone who walks out in front of your vehicle isn't necessarily a crime. There are a variety of factors that can change this (alcohol, speeding, cell phone usage) but the general idea is that you often can't stop a vehicle in time to prevent the collision. The same cannot be said for a person walking into the street - they could have looked and simply not crossed the street at that time. If they weren't crossing at a crosswalk and just walked out in front of you when you hit them then the police can't charge you with a crime as long as you stop at the scene (or in a relatively safe spot and report it immediately - failure to do so becomes a hit and run which is very illegal).
Right of way law favors larger vehicles over smaller vehicles, bikes, and pedestrians due to the laws of physics - it often times is physically impossible to stop a vehicle in time to avoid a collision if a pedestrian walks out directly in front of a moving vehicle.
While the drivers of vehicles have a responsibility to not hit pedestrians, the pedestrians also have a responsibility to not walk in front of vehicles.

Driving in the US we are taught to anticipate pedestrian actions in neighborhoods like that. If you see anyone near the side of the road looking like they might cross you stop. Move to the UK and driving 40+ in neighborhoods is standard. My driving instructor had to teach me to ignore the pedestrians and just go. That lady would do well here.

The law in most places in the US is actually far more favorable to motorists than pedestrians than most people have any idea of. The idea that pedestrians always have the right of way is risibly false, usually to the dismay of people who casually walk across 4 lane highways between crosswalks and expect lots of money when they end up getting hit.
ClumsyWendigo ยท 9 points ยท Posted at 16:32:34 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
of course a pedestrian has to take care when crossing, and an accident can be a pedestrian's fault
but if there is an accident cops are going to video and witnesses and on scene evidence
and if the motorist was not exercising proper operation of a motor vehicle, they're fucked
this is a suburban cul de sac not a four lane highway. if she hit one of those kids, the law is definitely not favorable to her here. you are misrepresenting this situation
what the fuck does this have to do with the video you are watching
why are you trying to change the topic to some unrelated hypothetical?
bigthama ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 16:43:44 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Because you seemed to be referring to the popular mythology that pedestrians always have the right of way. Outside a few municipalities this is rarely the case. Unless there are street markings stating that the traffic laws have changed inside the neighborhood (which sometimes happens) then the kids don't automatically have right of way; slowing down and being aware of kids playing is mostly just an understanding between decent human adults.

On country roads this is true. You don't have to yield to a pedestrian who is not within city limits in most areas because of the obvious risks associated with both walking in these areas, and yielding in most of these areas with windy roads and blind turns. Keep that in mind next time those asshole runners are out and you can't pass for an extended period of time because there's 36 of them making it pretty much the equivalent of 7 semi trucks being passed on a curvy 2 lane road

If you hit a jay walker, stop, call an ambulance and try your best to help, you're fine.
But hitting a pedestrian and not stopping, you're charged with a hit and run. And because you ran, and didn't help the person, you get charged with involuntary manslaughter. But as long as you stop, you're covered.

Related story: I deliver pizza. A few weeks ago, I parked my car on the side of the road and started walking up to the customer's door with their food. Just before I reach the door, I hear a loud crash and turn around to see that someone living across the street had backed out of their driveway straight into my car. And then they just started driving away. So I chased the guy down and had a chat with him, he told me he was going to file a report because my car was 'in the road'.
Apparently people have the right to destroy anything in their path, so long as they're driving.

Well, yeah, she took her driving test in Florida. As someone who got their license in FL, (but learned a lot more from my parents who are both good drivers), I can tell you that the driver's test in FL is severely lacking. I think I caught a lucky day at the DMV, but the entire trip (driving there, waiting in line, taking my test, filling out all the paperwork, driving back home) took like just under an hour.

Except not really. Maybe the ones you've interacted with, and hey, maybe there has been an increase due to having the ability to monitor them more effectively with their phones and whatnot, but it's not all the kids. At least anecdotally, I always see kids playing in the street, at parks, loitering at whatever supermarket - just being outside.

I mean, it isn't ALWAYS coddling, I wasn't allowed to play on the street because we were on top of a hill that people flew through all the time. The speed people were going, they wouldn't have seen me coming up the hill.

Jebus. I mean my son is 4 so he doesn't play in the street or outside without me, but that's just common sense. Once he's 7 or 8 I really don't see the problem with playing outside unsupervised. He's already crashed his bike once because he leaned too hard on the training wheel.

Yes, I don't want my kid to get hit by one of the many cars that speed down my residential street daily with no regard for the fact that it's a neighborhood with many small children, so I don't let him play in the street. I'm such a wimp.

I always see kids playing on the street. Stops around middle school - then they just go to the mall, or parks where they use the fields and courts and stuff there. High school you still have the middle school stuff, but people are also engaging in school activities more, so they're much more likely to just be on school campus doing their thing until the evenings - that or they hold part time jobs.

My next door neighbors did. I used to always play in the street with my friends and my neighbors were always pissy about it. They even used to walk outside and start recording us from their front porch to "use as evidence for the police", thats what they really said.
There was even one time where me and my friends saw them driving up the street, so naturally we walked to the side so they could get through no problem. But these crazy ass neighbors decided not to drive past to their house because we were standing in the gutter area of the street and not on the sidewalk.
They spent around 25 minutes arguing and complaining about how we need to be on the sidewalk. It was apparently the worst thing in the world for them because they ended up driving all the way around the block to get to their house the other way.

People who have jobs that require them to drive down residential streets: delivery drivers and any kind of home service providers. Oftentimes these people are not paid for extra driving time. I don't get angry about it, but it irritated me to no end that the neighbors' kids would constantly play football or baseball in the street when there was a park literally on the opposite side of the street.

Totally. I played on a long dead end street as a kid. No one ever had a problem. Most of the time they would just drive past us and wave. Sometimes if we were playing a game we would have to kind of step out so they could drive in between us, but it's just not a big deal.

Not sure if it's universal, but at my college campus the law for jaywalking was that you couldn't cross the middle of the street if both intersections at the end of the block had traffic lights. So if the end of the block had a stop sign, you were completely allowed to just walk across the street wherever you felt like it. Jaywalking and just hanging out in the street aren't identical, but I feel like there's a similarity

Lots of places you can get a permit to literally put up basketball hoops on the street like that. They are essentially public parking lots at the end of streets. It's just perfect for kids to play, like tiny public playgrounds.

because we will unfortunately at some point in our life run into them. we need to know our rights, and we need to have our wits about us and keep calm but be firm and not be victimized. and ideally, record that shit: good kid!
this 14 year old, to be that coherent and composed when dealing with the dragon, is in for a good rich life, and we should all wish our own kids, never mind ourselves as adults, to be so lucid and unyielding in our rights, and not be abused by bad intentioned trash like this

Im 90% sure thats not how that works...you are allowed to be on the side of a street, so hoops near the curb are okay. But actually in the street is a no no. The sign is to be cautious, not a right for kids to be in the street.

Well maybe I'm off on that point but I can say it's a common thing to have kids running around in the street. Generally they'll get out of your way but it's nothing like a main road. This also looked like it was in a culdesac and those are where the parties are. Plus it is sort of a right for the kids to be in the street. Otherwise, why would there be a sign there? You don't see a "watch out for jaywalkers" sign on the main road. That's what red lights and crosswalks are for.

Depends on your state. Some states have what's called "Highest degree of care," meaning that if you are operating a vehicle, it is your responsibility to operate it with the highest degree of care. This includes being aware of your surroundings and having the wherewithal and decision making skills to protect pedestrians when that becomes an issue. In other states, pedestrians are expected to follow pedestrian traffic laws just like cars follow car traffic laws. Theoretically, if you are hit and killed while jaywalking, your family could receive a posthumous ticket.

The strict legal wording varies by state. Drivers are not always required to yield the right of way to pedestrians so if a pedestrian does something outrageously stupid and/or illegal and gets hit by a car it's not necessarily the drivers fault.

I think there's some kind of caveat that if you feel your life is in danger you can proceed forward if it's the only way to go.
Like there was some kind of protest because the cops killed this redneck asshole who shot at them with an assault rifle (white people, man) and this cloud-shaped lady was standing in front of a car stopping them from proceeding. But then a bunch of other protesters swarmed the drivers seat so the driver proceeded forward and the cloud-shaped lady got hit.

There was a situation in NYC a couple years back, bunch of bikers swarmed around a minivan on the highway and one dude kicked the minivan after break checking the minivan.
Driver of the minivan had his wife and kids in the car and felt threatened and BLASTED over the break check biker, also knocked a few other bikers down.
Bikers then took chase and chased the guy off the highway and into the streets where he couldn't drive anymore. They beat on his van for awhile then the cops arrived and it ended.
One of the bikers had the whole thing on video and wasn't part of the situation, he was just riding and documenting.
Break check biker who instigated ended up paralyzed in some form (if I remember correctly) but the minivan driver still didn't face any charges due to the fact that he was in a threatening position and feared for his and his family's safety.

Actually it's the other way. Pedestrians have to yield to vehicles. She shouldn't have let these punks get to her. If she really wanted to, she could have contacted police and filed a report. They're minors, so I don't know if anything would come out of it. But I did hear of one example in my home city where the cops asked if the driver wanted to PRESS CHARGES on a jaywalker. No one got hurt but the pedestrian dinged up his car with groceries.

So it depends on jurisdiction, but where I live it works like this.
Pedestrians crossing at controlled intersections have to obey their signals Pedestrians crossing mid block are required to yield to traffic. A driver that encounters pedestrians crossing mid block is required to make every effort to avoid a collision
That means, if you're on a fairly major road, you should attempt to avoid any pedestrians, but if someone jumps out in front of your car at the last second, at night, wearing all black, the driver will not be charged with anything.
In a residential neighborhood, in broad daylight, you should absolutely expect children playing on or near the road, and there's no conceivable excuse for hitting someone unless the full out sprint in front of you from behind a parked car.
This woman is insane, and absolutely in the wrong.

Not in every state. Well, you're always supposed to yield but what changes is really who is responsible. In California, pedestrians can cross wherever they damn well choose, but in New York, you could be waiting in the street for an hour trying to cross, no one is obligated to stop for you when your are not at a crosswalk.

Yeah, I was going to say. No court is going to let you off if you hit some kids and you had ample opportunity to stop and not hit them. you definetely also will not get away with hitting a kid because you're annoyed with him

If you hit someone by accident when they're not at a crosswalk then the driver isn't liable. If they did it with intent that's a different story, but there's no way to prove that. So it's better to yield and have a dash cam

In California, the driver has the right of way right up until they hit the person.

Back in highschool a cop almost ran me over at a cross walk. While I had the right of way. Then flashed the sirens and gave me a lecture in the gas station parking lot about looking both ways, and not cutting off cars.
Straight up told him that pedestrians have the right of way and it was the drivers responsibility to check for hazards, especially when turning on a red light through a school zone cross walk. He wasn't amused.

That is not true. Growing up, shortly after he learned to drive a friend of mine hit a kid that ran into traffic. Multiple wittnesses said he tried to stop but couldn't and the kid just ran out. Sadly the kid died, but my friend did not get a ticket - there was nothing he could do to yield. That's just one obvious example but it's not accurate to say "always".... another example, if a mob of people surround your car and you fear for your life, you don't have to sit there to wait to be killed, you are allowed to protect yourself. That said, NONE of those situations apply to this woman but I'd hate to learn that someone died or didn't stand up for themselves because they think they must yield in all circumstances to pedestrians. There's always exceptions.

Kind of. If a person darts out between cars nowhere near a crosswalk into an avenue where cars going the speed limit are hitting 50 mph, the drivers have absolutely no expectation of seeing a pedestrian in the vehicles' right of way. Yes, the driver should do absolutely everything in their power to safely yield, but physics happens, and if this ped is struck, it's likely the driver won't be charged with anything. This is me speaking from experience of exactly this. I was the first person on the scene after witnessing exactly this happen. The pedestrian died, the driver walked away Scott-free (legally). They must have been mentally and emotionally fucked.

Actually no, if the vehicles have the right of way then they do not have to yield. For example if someone is walking across a state highway with no cross walks, you are not under an obligation to yield to a pedestrian.

Then you'll still need to explain why every gas station in my area (Okaloosa) sells 40s. They might be breaking the law, but that doesn't change the fact that you can easily buy a 40 in fl.
emotionlotion ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 18:05:32 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Which is more likely?
Every gas station in your area is breaking multiple laws by not only selling 40s, but also illegally shipping them across state lines to bypass the alcohol distributors who won't sell them in state.
You're mistaking a 32 oz beer for a 40.
Artrimil ยท -4 points ยท Posted at 18:09:41 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Pretty sure i can see the difference between the numbers "32" and "40". Old English 40s all have a big 40 above the name, so it's kinda hard to mix up the sizes. If they're doing it illegally, then so be it. No one is getting hurt from it except maybe alcoholics, but they can just go buy a growler instead and get even more.
emotionlotion ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 18:26:35 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
So you're suggesting that despite this not happening in any other part of the state, all the gas stations in your area are risking legal action, fines, and loss of their licenses by illegally selling alcohol, illegally purchasing alcohol from non-licensed distributors, and either illegally transporting alcohol across state lines or conspiring with someone who does, just to sell a low profit margin item like a 40 when a 32 is perfectly legal? Seems incredibly far fetched. The far more likely explanation is that you're mistaken.

Call me wrong all you want, I'm just saying what I'm seeing in stores. Also, I don't care whether or not you're convinced, as I can see for myself when I go to those stores. What reason would I have to lie about buying a 40oz beer, anyway? That's not exactly something to be proud of.

False. I live in Okaloosa County and have never seen a 40 in Florida. Not only is it illegal, but the beer distributors don't have them here so there's no way to get them to your fictional gas station that carries them. Aside from growlers, 32 oz is the biggest you can buy here, which is what every gas station carries.
Artrimil ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:58:33 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Off 98? Pretty much every gas station i go to has them, so unless you're in North Okaloosa, you should be able to get them at the Tom Thumbs on 98. Santa Rosa even has one that sells em

I don't need to explain that, either they are doing so illegally or you are mistaken about the volume of alcohol you are purchasing. Just because one store in your small town may be selling it, doesn't make it easy for the whole state. I've been all over fla and never seen one being sold.
Artrimil ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 18:06:37 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Considering the label has a big 40 above the name, I'm pretty sure it's an OE 40oz., so yeah they must be selling illegally, but that's fine by me. Let's me get 40s and no one is a victim so no harm done in my eyes

I can go to the corner store not even a 2 minute walk away and get one any time except between 4am and 8am. Hell, I had one last week, so they're definitely sold here and in my experience, almost every gas station in my area has them.

You are probably drinking a 32 ouncer.

daltsteve ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:13:06 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Oh definitely. Lies My Teacher Told Me was written for a student receiving an education in most US settings. So, most of my knowledge of American history leaving high school was skewed from reality. One of our history teachers would literally show clips from Fox News. Typical things like Christopher Columbus being a decent human being I learned in college. But, some teachers were really good-like we had an American Problems class. We read about economic systems and poverty and war. We actually engaged questions thought to be taboo like abortion and religion.
But, I didn't live in Chicago. I was downstate, so there are many different experiences. But, mine was colored by rural poverty. That probably matters a lot.

Barefoot driving isn't illegal in any state. (including Florida). It's possible in any state that if you are in an accident they may hit you for reckless driving if they determine being barefoot was the cause. But the act itself is perfectly legal. Not trying to be a contrarian. Just want you to know you have the option.

Driving bare foot is illegal? That's bizzarro. I've always heard people say "oh it's dangerous to drive barefoot" but... it fucking isn't. You don't need shoes to operate the pedals effectively, if you're in a serious wreck, shoes won't stop your feet from getting mangled. It's a myth. It doesn't hold up to scrutiny. In fact, I'd say it's more dangerous sometimes to drive while wear shoes, like sandals, flip flops, certain kinds of boots, definitely heels...

Not defending her at all, just an observation. She had flip flops on the first time she got out of the car, she picked them up off the street and threw them in her car when she got back in the first time. So she wasn't driving barefoot at first.

There are a lot of assumptions involved.
Assuming your car floor isn't clean, like most of us, it's possible you might step on a pebble or branch or something pokey and that might cause you to momentarily lose control of your vehicle. For example if you need to stop suddenly and quickly and stomp on the brake but hit a pebble that is stuck to the pedal you will reflexively pull your foot off of the pokey object thusly not stopping and hitting the whatever object caused you to stomp on the brake.
The consistently flatness of the bottom of a shoe is assumed to have more reliable control of the pedals than the inconsistent bottom of your foot.
I believe that often the regulations are actually about wearing shoes not specifically about driving barefoot. If you take off your shoes and try to drive in socks/nylons/stockings your feet have less traction and additionally might slip within the confines of your sock/stocking/nylons.
That's how it was explained to me. I don't know if that is completely correct but it makes sense-ish.

My honest to god opinion is that it has to do with the heat and humidity. I'm in Canada, so we get maybe 2-3 weeks of anything that even approaches summer, and usually the number of days where it goes over +30C can be counted just on your fingers. Here we are end of July, and here we had one day of 30 degrees so far this year. But when it happens, people turn stupid. I seriously thought it was just confirmation bias on my part, and that because of the heat I just notice these things more and they aggravate me more. But I started to consciously observe what people are doing, and whenever it gets hot, people do get dumber. Which sort of makes sense - if your video card gets overheated, you start getting artifacts on the screen. I'm guessing much the same happens with human brain. And given Florida temperatures and humidity, year after year, it just stacks up.

Honestly have no idea if Flouride is good or bad or whatever, but it'd probably be nice to not have it added to the water. Other countries with good water don't do it, seems like a thing we don't really need.
That said, I don't think Florida is the only state that does the whole flouride thing, so I doubt it's causing the crazy. The other stuff they brought up though I'm pretty dang sure I don't have in my tap water so they may have a good point there.

Apparently it's an unpopular opinion to say that I'm not a fan of unnecessary teeth cleaning chemicals being added to the water? You can have clean water without Flouride.
Like if you want to use flouride then have that be an option, obviously. But why allow it to be something that everyone has no choice in if it's literally only for cavity prevention? Seems like an awful lot of money being spent on something that you can take care of yourself on the cheap.

Google disagrees with you... Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, etc etc etc. All disagree on that front. Some use salt flouridation, some refuse any flouridation at all. Japan apparently goes for calcium flouridation instead of "industrial sodium flouride". And none of those places are renown for their awful water.
You can have clean water without flouride, since the point of flouride is to prevent cavities... There's plenty of other things that go into cleaning water, as far as I'm aware.
Anyways, point is I'm not a big fan of unnecessary chemicals being added to the water. If you can have clean water without it, don't use it.
OhLookANewAccount ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 15:47:30 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I've heard arguments go both ways on Flouride, gotta admit I'd prefer that it wasn't added and instead left as an optional add in thing for individuals to choose.
That said, fucking hell, there's that much other garbage going on in the water there? I was halfway kidding, but if that's the case it honestly probably does explain it.
Kinda like how unleading gasoline solved a shit ton of violence issues in America, maybe fixing what's going on in the water will fix Florida.

To elaborate on the other comments, in the USA vehicle registration is done on a state-to-state basis, not by the whole country. So, some states require two plates, some states only require one, some states require annual inspections, some require only when you buy the car, some don't require any at all, it's kinda all over the place. Every state has their own sets of rules for how they handle cars.

My real concern is why is this lady complaining about kids playing in a culdesac?
She had to have gone out of her way to try and hit these kids who were playing in the road. Either she knows someone living in the culdesac, and should be respectful of the children of those families, or she turned down a street so she could get enraged over nothing.

It's possible those kids refused to move out of the way as she approached. I've had that happen to me, not with kids playing, but teens crossing the street. They go extra slow. I just stop, put my elbow up in the windowsill and lean my head on my hand like I've got all the time in the world. Since I'm not getting angry like they want me to, they realize pretty quickly that they actually want to be somewhere other than the middle of the street and move on. But maybe these kids were trying to get a rise and succeeded.

90's Camrys had the shittiest door handles, recently replaced all 4 inside and out on a '94 Camry, all were broken off ($30 for a complete new set inside and out though, so at least cheap to fix). Window regulators also commonly go bad in those, so it's also pretty common to a window or two taped up. The engines run forever, so there's a lot more opportunity for other stuff to break before they go to a junk yard.

I more meant the attitude that the kid has, rather than their actions being pranks. As I implied, I'm not sure what exactly happened, I just think there was a reason given. Needless to say, no reason is good enough to justify this crazy bitch's actions.
EDIT: There are also skateparks, and I meant in the middle of the road, not down the sidewalk.

Yeah exactly, cars understood this and drove slowly through neighborhoods. When a car came, it slowed down and waited and you had to move your improv goal posts/etc and get out of the way, and then re set up. Nobody had a problem with this, it was how kids played in the suburbs. I guess now people aren't used to it with the internet/etc so they get heated. What a crazy lady. It's hilarious that I saw a Florida joke last week about how whenever you see a video like this and wonder where it's from, it's always Florida... and then yup.

I hate this mentality and i've seen it first hand too many times. A few months ago i was working as a race marshall for a marathon that came through a suburb. I was standing at a T-junction telling people to turn around and drive down 2 blocks where there was a properly manned crossing. This one dude absolutely wasn't having it. He tried to force his car on the course so I stood in front of his car and he almost ran me over. Several people had to come up and help me talk this moron down. Then evetually he drove off in a huff and said "Since when did people become more important than cars".

You are right that this incident had nothing to do with white privilege. However you're wrong saying white privilege is rare. It's everywhere If you look for it. The term annoys me too because I grew up poor and experienced it less. But it is a thing that happens every day. Example: a story of a white woman moving to Harlem and continuously complaining to the police, city and mayor about an ice cream truck playing music out on the street because it annoys her. That is a form of white privilege showing. Source: am white person.

Why you have nothing to be sorry for? Just like black folks that live normal lives don't have to apologize when some random gang members kill an innocent bystander, which happens all the time mind you. Just like legal hispanics in the country either born here or came here legit and got citizenship don't have to apologize for other hispanics legal or not that kill people drunk driving, or rob people or bring their crime mentality here. Just like Muslims who are normal like me and you have nothing to be sorry for when some radical asshats lop off another head or shoot up a Florida night club.... why are you so sorry for people you don't even know? Because they have less melanin in your skin like someone else who did something bad? Quit apologizing till you did something wrong. You contradicted yourself in your own statement.

The kid is whit too! she has suburban mom privilege! Thats it! Becuase the kid is white too! Is this shit too hard to understand for leftists? And this guy is not white, so of course every conflict he encounters with a white person is because of white privilege. Not class privilidge, not wealth privilege. Its because theyre white and hes not and hes being systematically oppressed. The implication is that if this happens to anyone who isnt white, its proof of white priviledge. MAKES SENSE

Alright, I'll just come clean about it, then.
It was a microaggression, intended in good fun. Regardless of your feelings about microaggressions, racial humor or the state of race relations in the US right now, I think you'd have to admit that our particular situation involving that particular word between white and black people, and the different spellings of that word and how they are used and what they mean under what circumstances and between which people is something probably completely unprecedented in human language and cultures. I don't think any other groups in history would have been so educated and so interconnected in communications and news to care enough to get things this complicated.
But maybe we can sometimes go too far, too. My joke isn't funny despite being prickly. It's funny because it's prickly. I'm ribbing whomever is sensitive enough to feel it out there-- in this case, maybe you. If so, ha!

But who's getting rid of them? We know they are spawning at an alarming rate.
And yet, whenever we read about people getting killed, with the exception of a few Darwin Award-winners, we just assume that the people killed were not pieces of trash like this woman...But they are, aren't they?
Maybe we should just start assuming that at least 75% of all the people killed by anything were absolute trash, since that seems to be the percentage of people I meed who are trash. If we assume that, then every tragic news story becomes quite a bit less tragic.
We should have ways to determine whether or not someone who died was trash. Then, if they were, we can reward the person who killed them, rather than punish.

I did like Animal Kingdom for events and rides and Epcot for food though.

I'm not generalizing based off Reddit. I have gone to Florida almost twice a year for 20 so years. My father worked in social work helping inner city kids. We took trips to Disney and other parts of Florida yearly. As well as went as a family other times and when I became a teen I went for spring break with friends. Even was down there one summer for the Daytona 500. All my generalizations are passed of my experience down there. Also in other comments I have pointed out how ass backwards Florida politics are. The people are douches and the politics reflect that.

I mean he literally just apologized to her in the beginning of the video and told her to have a nice day. That should have been the end of it. Her actions were extremely childish, he was being more of an adult than she was. We never saw what happened before hand, you can't just say that they jumped out in front of her trying to antagonize and provoke her.

Yes sometimes 14 year olds can be dicks. I think almost everybody was like that at some point when they were kids. But if you're an adult, show some maturity and just walk away from it. If they're not seriously harming you and are just doing what kids do then why bother? You should be above this, you need to set an example for them. Just a simple warning to the kids to be careful when they're playing on the road would have been more than enough.
Verbally threatening or physically assaulting children will never help them to learn anything. It will only make them more fearful and untrusting of adults. This just reinforces negative behaviours and makes them worse.
A fully grown adult seriously threatening to beat up a random child is just pathetic.

"You can go just go on," is not how a sincere apology starts. That's how you exert authority over someone else. She was dismissed from his presence.
The behavior of the group also matters. A kid was screaming at the start and one spit on her car, too.
Her complete trashiness and immaturity unbecoming her age aside, no one in this video is demonstrating great conflict resolution skills.

From what I gathered the kids were on the street (doesn't seem to be any sidewalks) and the lady passed, presumably close to them or something like that. One of the kids flipped her off (not the one filming) and she didn't take it very well.
While it seems neither party was really in the right, her reaction, especially when directed at kids, definitely puts her in the wrong.

I imagine the argument is that its protected by the 1st amendment- state laws cannot violate the US constitution, so it becomes a federal issue.

However u cannot reason with stupidity and this situation is a prime example of when u should turn the other cheek. If this was my daughter I'd be far more proud if when he apologised he then continued on his way. Then he had the high moral ground.

Exactly. Everyone seems to have forgotten about this thing called "context."
She's still a shithead, but I have a feeling that the kid is likely also a shithead. Weird how we have no video from him showing whatever he might have done! So inexplicable...

Honestly it seems like she tried to speed by them in the neighborhood since she claimed she didn't have to yield to them. Sounds like s lady who has a problem with kids playing in the street.
Imagine your kid riding his/her bike in the street and some car barrels within inches of them just to prove a point. I know I'd be pissed.

I mean, he's 14. That's what kids that age do. That woman though...
Even he had been an asshole, and even if he had genuinely been nasty to her from the start, any adult should know better than to start arguing with a random 14-year-old boy on the street.

Even if he yelled at her and cursed her out she's an adult. She tried hitting him with a car and was going to get in his face and take his phone. She doesn't have the right to do that. If I saw someone talking to my kid like that and threatening my kid and trying to run them over wed have a big problem id be calling the cops right away.

She doesnt have the right to do that but lets not pretend the kid is completely innocent either which was what OP was saying. If I saw someone doing that to my kid, I would call the cops but I would also check if my kid wasnt being a little shit either.
Too many parents believe their kids are little angels that could do no harm and get blinded by fury if you dare imply otherwise. You have to be non-biased towards these things
trapper2530 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 16:08:09 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I can still punish my kid afterwards if need be and protect them from being attacked from a crazy lady. Even if my kid cursed her out and keyed her car if she tried to hit them with a car that's not ok and I'd protect them. A good parent should be able to do both.

Neither of us were diagreeing with that though. See:
Both me and OP were pointing out that even if the lady was going too far, we are also missing the first part that lead to this. We're too quick in making this black and white.

There are many species of cleptoparasitic bees. They prey upon other solitary bee species (which most bees are), waiting for the mother to go out for another round of pollen or nectar collecting. The cleptoparasite swoops into the nest, kills the mother-bee's egg and replacing it with her own. When the mother-bee returns, she resumes her normal activities...unaware that now, she is raising an intruder. She will end up raising this illegitimate child off of her own labor.

I wish the assistant manager at my last job knew that. She was a bitch, yelling at people, writing them up for things that weren't even their fault, blaming people for stuff that didn't even happen when they were on shift. And because the owner didn't like confrontation she just let the ASM run rampant.
Then there is me, the youngest shift lead there at 20 years old. So I was closer to the age of most of the employees. I was nice to them, I talked to them like they actually knew how to do their jobs, and wow, they respected me and did everything I asked of them. But according to the ASM, because I was nice they didn't respect me and it was my fault that they didn't respect her. Mhm. Makes sense.
Hell, even the lady who was ASM before her and stepped down was really strict, and had ACTUALLY seen me managing the crews for extended periods of time, was like "what the fuck does she mean? You're doing fine and they respect you more than they respect her."
Can't tell you how many times I heard the current ASM bitching about how she needs respect and how shitty and disrespectful the employees are.

Nah, I'm with /u/throwaway150106 here. While /u/jordantask's line was poetic, it's sadly untrue.
Sure, I can think of lots of times when people "demanded respect" as a roundabout way to demand baseless authority over someone else...
But I can also think of plenty of times when people who seriously deserved respect from their community/peers were given none, and had to ask for it forcefully before people realized they needed to shut up and listen.

Because with her out of the way the road is clear & it's not a problem to anyone; he's getting another shot of the license & if they need to get off the road quickly, it's very easy to do so. eg. As he does when she starts reversing.
& no actually; she's an adult who's screaming at young teens for playing outside, & then threatening to break their phone & "beat their ass" & refuses to simply move on a few times. She's clearly very irrational, hectic, not really thinking straight at all; so assuming "she's trying to hit me with her car" isn't that big of a leap.

Yup. I learned at a very early age that you need to respect anyone who is older than you is complete and utter bullshit. Some people are just children that have never grown up. They have possessions and responsibility but nothing else. You can't demand respect it's something that needs to be earned.

I disagree with the earned part. I think everyone starts out with a standard amount of respect, and we adjust from there. I don't have a complete lack of respect for strangers.

The problem here is that respect has two meanings, and those who demand respect blur the two. Respect can either mean admiration for someone's qualities and achievements, or it can mean due regard, as in respecting someone's personal space. When people say respect must be earned, they mean the former - you must earn anything above the baseline of common decency. When people demand respect, they act like they mean the latter but often strongly imply the former, as the respect they demand often goes far beyond simple due regard for their needs or acknowledgement of their presence, and crosses into surreal demands.

I believe similarly but also believe some respect is earned contextually. (Age, power, position) Additionally, respect does not necessarily mean what a lot of people think. I can respect the "Uniform" but not the person wearing it so to speak.

Just 5 days ago, I was with my older friend (18) who is living with his friend (also 18). Now I've been in his house a few times and I was there playing UFC with friend 1. (Non)Friend 2 comes back from work and says hi and all that I say hi back. 2 is looking for his lynx can and it's beside me in the couch (I didn't use it seeing as I'm allergic). 2 orders me, orders me to give it to him. Now I just stared at him and he ordered me to give it to him. I looked at Friend 1 and he had his head down looking st the floor. I said to 2, if you want me to hand it to you, treat me with a bit of respect and ask, not order, that I wasn't a dog nor a slave. 2 went on this rant about how I was a disrespectful little fuck and how he'd love to kick the crap out of me and that if he thinks 1 is going to stick up for me he was wrong, (1 couldn't stick up for me because that's his only place to stay and I understood thst) and that just because I was in foster care that he thinks that would stop him for beating me around the place or how I'm only 16. I just laughed and started saying I couldn't speak English in Spanish and he got more aggressive, he kicked my leg and threatened to kill me and I told him to stop with the threats and if he was going to do it, that he should just do it and he screamed at me to give him respect or leave his house (when in reality it's his fathers). 1 said to him to calm down and leave me alone and 2 turns to him and says "you have no place in this and if you think you do, you no longer have a place in this house, as mh friend and as a person who pays me rent, you listen to me" and I just laughed there and left the house. And I have always been respectful towards him, I've never insulted him or laughed at him, I've been supportive whenever people talked down to him but I guess that's the way he is So long story short, give respect and you'll get jt, it's earned, not granted

Not everyone needs a huge amount of respect. The baseline is toleration of their presence, any more than that and they should or you should do something that confers a need for more respect in the moment like proper greetings.

Because anyone who believes it is a piece of shit. No one should be treated any different because of their age so them saying hey you need to respect me because I'm older than you is not any less bigited than saying "hey you need to respect me because I'm a man and you're only a woman" or "I'm white and you're black".

If you start off by treating people older than you with a little deference, you get an opportunity to learn something from their experience.
I always defer to the old guy. Whatever I'm doing, he's probably done before so he gets a little more respect than a 20 year old kid who doesn't have half the experience I do
It's not always accurate. there are old guys who don't know shit and kids who are experts but age is usually a good indicator of experience
alexthealex ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 15:45:59 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
IMO by default everyone should be respected. From acknowledging the smallest child talking to you to actually listening to people when they're speaking with you instead of having your face in your phone while having a conversation to holding a door open for someone with their hands full, everyone deserves a modicum of respect.
The issue at hand is that in many situations, when older people use the term respect towards younger people, they really mean obey. There is the idea that age is the deciding factor in who is correct, and that the younger person should defer to the elder and obey when they direct them to act one way or another.
By default I will absolutely listen to and respect the opinions of someone, but if their interest disagrees with my own I will not obey.

This exact thing happened to me when I was 15, except it was just before smartphones became ubiquitous enough to do lots of video and and it was a 51 year old man who was attempting to assault me because I said "holy shit, slow down" after he nearly ran over a 11 year old playing in the street whole going 40mph in a 15mph residential area. I still remember his mouth twitching after he slammed his car into full reverse to yell "the fuck did you just say to me you little punk?"

That's why I don't take anyone seriously when they say I need to be respectful of my elders. In most circumstances I am respectful of my elders, because I know that I've gotten a lot fuckin smarter as I've grown older, but some people are mongaloids. Some people are as dumb, or dumber than this lady. I don't give a fuck what this ladies age is, she's a fucking idiot.

Eh, we came into this video after shit went down.
Having been a 10-14 yr old kid who hung out in the middle of the street, I have good reason to question the idea that these kids didn't really do anything and she's just being crazy.
Maybe these kids didn't do shit.... maybe. But they're at the age where they can be real douche bags and you can't really do much but get pissed and swear because beating their assess isn't socially acceptable and there's the fact that the video starts with one of the kids saying "I wish you are a guy", which is to say he wishes it were socially acceptable for him to hit her). And these days the part where you know they deserve to be smacked in the mouth but you can't do it so you're frustrated and can only tell them to fuck off is recorded and you look crazy because at that point, they're being cool. And was the "politeness" actually genuine or we he being a smartass?
I don't know exactly what went down here. But I'm not ready to rule out that they were being complete shit heads and her reaction is really just frustration because she knows they're little shits and can't do anything about it.
Did she handle it well? No, not really. But I'm in no way convinced that these kids aren't shit heads nor that the one kid was being genuine in his politeness.

Well, shy of damaging her car or physically impeding her from driving away, nothing merits that reaction. The only thing I heard her mention was them being in the street and one of the kids flipping her off. They could have been trying to be the shittiest of shitheads, but the moment she parked her car in the middle of the street and got out, not even to mention the reversing towards him, she was acting worse than them.

Nope. Never. They didn't even know about it until either they got home or someone told them they had spit on their back.
And I didn't do it to anyone who didn't deserve it. There were plenty of people in my small town who would literally go out just to start a fight with people. They were royal douche bags and pretty much nobody outside their trashy click liked them either.
For example, one guy kept groping my friends' girlfriend (now wife, 15 years later) against her will and telling him to "do something about it". This guy is super nice and was trying to quell the situation maturely. However the idiot started some shit talking and shoving, and the fight was broken up before too much happened. He kept going around talking shit the whole night, so I hocked a big loogie on his back without him knowing. People were laughing at him behind his back and he never knew who did it. Later on in the night he picked a fight with one guy that he didn't know was a junior boxing champ. He went to the hospital. I think what I did wasn't so bad in comparison.
I wasn't a fighter but nothing pisses me off more than innocent people getting picked on. So I got my revenge in more indirect ways. If you are a dick, then expect people to be a dick back.

If, in their experience, teachers have been power tripping assholes, who has the right to tell that person not to express it?

it's not a gross generalization, it's an observable reality. any bureaucratic institution is going to attract people who enjoy exercising power over others. while some of these people might be decent and good, some of them are certainly very broken, very insecure individuals. you can say this of basically any bureaucracy, but public schooling is the only one that is both compulsory and not punitive, at least in america. we can hold it to a different standard and criticize it for its failures in a different way.

Public schools tend to be crowded and staffed by overwhelmed teachers and other employees that tend to become jaded towards their students. It's not a bright, shining reality but it's life.

and in every other instance, i'm either A able to walk away freely, or B held under threat of force. it's only in schools that freedom of choice is removed (e: without directly punitive measures). that might be for a good reason, but when you encounter incompetent, insecure, or otherwise unfit leadership, there is absolutely nothing you can do to get away.
arguing that everyone does something doesn't mean your one pet profession gets a free pass.

But no, it is an opinion though. It's a subjective thought that was agreed upon by multiple people, but not you, that's why it's subjective. Secondly, you shouldn't feel offended (if that is what I'm picking up from your comments) because we're not talking about you or teachers you know. We'd only be talking about that group of people if it contained power freaks and lying, scummy teachers that tried to take advantage of their superiority over the students they teach...

As a former teacher who understands that side of it, I am bothered by attitudes that perpetuate the negativity surrounding the profession.
Teachers are underpaid, overworked, overwhelmed, and make massive sacrifices in their daily life to do their job through the school year. This is a tradgedy that fortunately a lot of people are aware of it and can attest to it, and are committed to changing it. There are others who clearly lack the perspective of what that work is really like, which is bothersome. It bothers me more than most due to my work experiences.
A professor in my credential program summarized and predicted this well; "One problem we have is everyone thinks they understand the education system because everyone went through the education system."
Sorry if this seems restrictive to the conversation, but attitudes like this guy's are literally the perpetrators of why that profession is in the shitter.

Trust me, I know you guys work hard and are underpaid for it all, my friends mothers will agree with that wholeheartedly. However, I, at least, appreciate and love the teachers that, despite this situation, love their job and are passionate for the kids in a positive way. Most teachers are so quick to blame their lives and use that to give them a purpose to become assholes to their students, however how do you think a student would feel? I'm no teacher, hey, I'm still in high school, but I've had a fair share of amazing teachers who were constantly beat down by life and kept that in their personal life, not professional, and I've had a fair share of the worst teachers I'll ever have. The latter group let their lives mix and took it out on the people who deserved it least of all, and I have no room in my heart for teachers like that. I apologize greatly for all of your collective issues with the profession, but I only ask from a student that you all continue loving your jobs and being amazing, or quit; the youth will not learn from people they can't respect...

buying some sympathy are we? teachers choose to teach. students choose what they want for lunch. the hoops you have to jump through to remove yourself from the influence of a poor teacher are incredible, and taken to their absolute extreme can destroy a kid's entire social sphere by basically removing him from his circle of friends.
the fact remains, the public school system is a bureaucracy, and like any bureaucracy shit rolls downhill and Pournelle's law applies. i think the least we're allowed is a degree of polite disdain.

You have a negatively skewed perspective on who exactly ends up being teacher, and once again, I wish you had a better experience in high school. Your experience is not indicative of the whole, I have experienced many negative teachers myself. However, they are far, far outnumbered by the skillful, caring and tactful people that decide to take that path regardless of the negatives.
Take it from someone who has worked in 4 school districts in a metro area. Your experience is not indicative of the whole, and your sample teachers were clearly unfortunate.

this is your effort at answering the trend i suppose. who's to say, of course, that this is not your own subjective reading of the relevant concern? it's not like you wouldn't be biased, being, yknow, a former teacher and by extension urban saint. you know people are dissatisfied, and you know the reasons why. answer those rather than telling us, once again, just how great your colleagues are. sweet mrs. applebaum could be the nicest lady in the world, but from the authority she's granted and the pressure she's put under, she could take just five minutes to destroy the self esteem of an insecure teenager and think she's helping them the whole while. the amount of power granted to teachers is too great for any person to hold.

I don't mean to butt into other people's internet arguments, but are you ok? Did something really bad happen to you? Nobody is ever this angry at teachers unless they've had a truly terrible experience. If you have, you might consider talking to someone. It's not good to harbor so much disdain and hatred in you. Especially for a group of people that are just trying to do their best at their job. Sure, HS teaching jobs tend to attract a ton of sycophants, but surely not every teacher out there is a power hungry twat. You're right that any semblance of authority tends to make people into abusive dicks, but those people were like that in the first place. My point is, don't let anger blind you. If your school is full of bullies who happen to be teachers, try and find the good ones. They might help you do something about it higher up in the administration. Or if not, maybe find someone to talk to. Don't let this ugliness fester.

You had to turn them in at the front office every morning. If you were caught with your phone, they'd give you ISS for a month. ISS was suspension where you were still on the school grounds, but you got a hardass teacher who would find any reason to give you detention, you were stuck in one room all day until lunch, but you didn't get to go to lunch until every grade from K-12 were done, so you had no outside contact unless you met someone on the way to the classroom in the morning.
I'm already in the office for "sassing" my math teacher (pointing out he did PEMDAS wrong in a problem), I'm not gonna pull my phone out in the vice-principal's office and give them more ammo.

Thing was I knew being at home meant I could play video games all days and not be stuck in one classroom w/out the ability to talk.
There is a fundamental difference between punishing and torturing kids. Social isolation w/out the ability to move around and no mental stimulation is nothing more than torture.

That sounds like the level of bullshit you should get your parents involved in. I mean obviously you know your parents better than me, but I think most parents would go on the fucking warpath about that. Pointing out a teacher's error shows that you're paying attention and learning the material, and I would DESTROY a school that tries to punish my kid for that.

My school wasn't exactly like this, didn't have to turn our phones in but if you had it out you'd have them taken from you and you'd get detention, if you refused you'd be sent to Internal exclusion which is exactly what was described above.
We used to have cubicles that faced the walls, so even if you decided to be funny fuckers and you entire group got Internal Exclusion (our ISS) then you were still isolated. You'd chat shit to eachother through the walls and get IE increased for another day. In the end you just learn to not get sent to IE.
But yeah, even lunch was the same for us, we did have a morning break but you didn't get to have break with everyone else and nobody saw you. I got IE for a month once, hit a girl, one of my mates thought I'd got massacred by her older brother or something because nobody heard from me for the entire time rofl.

I disagree with taking a kid's phone. I think it escalates the situation and makes the kid feel powerless. It is their property after all. By no means should they be allowed to use it during class, but I think a better course is to remove the kid from class for the day and maybe assign extra homework. They learn their lesson, while still being shown a bit of respect.

Oh, I used to moderate phone usage and have them put them away during lectures, stuff like that. It does not serve our productivity well. I changed that two years ago. It's been fabulous since.
I don't give a shit if they feel "powerless". If they can't manage to not have it out, I can see that I get those results in another way.
Removing them from class is too extreme and will cause them to fall behind (and make me do extra work). And, homework should never be added as punishment, nor reduced as a reward.

I dunno, I just think forcing them to give the phone to you exacerbates the problem and might fuel the underlying cause. Just seems like a "I have the power in this situation and there's nothing you can do about it" type of response. An exercise in dominion.

An exercise in a teacher running his classroom as he sees fit!
It never exacerbates the situation when I collect a phone. Only once in the last two years did a student talk back about it, and his parents got a swift phone call within the hour. I was assured that there wouldn't be a problem with his phone again. There wasn't.

I can see the last bit happening, and I understand, but teachers feel threatened when they are corrected, because it diminished their intellectual authority. I assume it wouldn't have happened if you talked to him after class.
I've had a few bumps like that, but no detention. I corrected my science teacher, by telling her that the skin was the largest organ, and that it takes 8 and half minutes for light to reach the sun, instead of the millions of years she said. Sometimes, the teachers have bad information in their books.

Teachers that feel threatened by being corrected are bad teachers. Period. It is ok to be wrong and that should be taught to kids because everyone is wrong sometimes. Everyone makes mistakes. Now if the kid did it in a sassy way then, yes, the kid is in the wrong, but ISS is still completely unnecessary. The teacher could have simply acknowledged their mistake, corrected the kid's tone if an inappropriate tone was used, and everyone moves on having learned something.

This was before smartphones, mind you, but a teacher once tried to take my phone in study hall. I was in the middle of a pretty big family thing and had to be ready to leave at pretty much any moment, so I would discreetly check my phone every ten minutes or so and call between classes. So my teacher sees me pull out the phone, check it, put it away, and go back to what I was doing. He told me to bring it to the front of the class and give it to him. I walked up and told him what was going on and why I couldn't do that. He cut me off twice and told me he didn't care and to just give it to him or he'd call for one of the officers. I told him to kiss my ass and walked out of class towards the office because I could see where this was heading. He followed me out and was screaming at me like a lunatic telling me how poorly I was raised ect... At the end of it all I just called my mom and had her pick me up and nothing much really came of it. The teacher and I had a little ten minute session with a mediator the next week and I basically told him I had zero respect for him as an educator and as a man, but I wouldn't let it show in class (only a week or so left in the semester). I did wind up feeling a little bad because he went to the same church as my girlfriend and her family and her dad let him fucking have it one day for being so rude. Evidently it made church really awkward for him for a while, which kinda sucks.

Because depending on the administration I have to act. And depending on how the school handles it's study hall it would not be too distracting to begin with and it sets precedent for students and teachers working together to compromise. If other students realize that he was rewarded for going through things the right way they are more likely to do so as well. And lastly, when you and a student have developed a working relationship often times they will only take the inch even if you did offer a mile.

But I think you're over-exaggerating the effect that someone checking their phone has on people. in that - it doesn't. it doesn't effect anyone at all. And as u/yourehilarious Said, continuously walking up to the desk would have a much more distracting/damaging effect on everyone else's attention.

Something I would want to actively avoid is "why can X do it and not me, see it's not hurting anybody" whereas the other way it's clear an arrangement has been made. Ultimately, if the kid came up to me before class I would let him check his phone. However, depending on the administration that might be unacceptable.

That and they treat you like prisoners and little kids up until your last day. Then expect you to do a 180 and become adults right out of high school.
Sorry, you stunted that with your power play bull shit for 13 years. How about you treat people the way you want them to behave.

The same thing happened to me in grade school. I was in grade 6 or 7 and I was mad at someone so I drew a very childish picture that basically said that person would go to jail. So he doesn't care about the picture but thinks it would be funny for me to get in trouble (he told me this later) and tells the teacher. The teacher sends me to the special needs teacher (I'm not a special needs person) because this teacher was also a counselor when needed and held a few other jobs because the school was understaffed. So I am as polite as possible because I don't want to cause any more trouble but this teacher starts accusing me of yelling at her and throwing stuff at her (I didn't do either). I wish I could have recorded this but my phone was in the school office. So anyways, after school ends I am picked up (I lived outside of the bus area) and I tell my mom that the school may contact her and everything they say I did to this person is most likely a lie. I also tell her everything this woman said to me. In the end, the teacher (she wasn't really a teacher but I'll call her that for simplicity) wasn't allowed to talk to me without my mom being present.
P.S.: Thank you mom!

Sarcasm is almost illegal in school.
Teacher: "Did everybody do their Report?"
Student: "Yeah, I'm sure EVERYBODY did the Report"
Teacher: "Get out of my class"
Student: "Whatever you say, MAAM"
Teacher: "Go to the office"
Student: "No PROBLEM, I'll go straight THEIR"
Principal: "You were being a smart aleck and talking back. You're suspended for 3 day"

Yep, ya caught me. I was always doing something absolutely evil and deplorable every time I got sent to the office, and the poor, powerless teachers just couldn't defend themselves from my verbal onslaught in any way. /s
But yeah, I've met people who would break the rules and then complain about getting punished, but some of the teachers at my school were absolutely awful. The vice-principal had to be the worst, though. If you didn't say "good morning" to him whenever he saw you in the hallways, he'd give you a day of detention. You learned to keep an eye out for him so you'd be ready to say it.

My life as a cyclist has taught me "Just cuz I have the right doesn't mean I get the right" to do anything. Better to walk away and live to fight another day. You think she's crazy enough to fight a few 14 yr olds but not crazy enough to be carrying? I'm not taking that chance.

In a perfect world, both should have deescalated after the initial disagreement. Even 15 year olds can be taught this.
But in this situation, it seems like the kid was more mature and closer to being able to disengage. I think that's why people are focusing on what he should have done.
But he stayed out in the street provoking her. Immature actions, despite his more mature words.

Because you can't reason with crazy. The kid didn't do anything wrong and has every right to stand his ground, but the smartest way to deal with that level of insanity is to just walk away. Especially after she tried to reverse in to him.

Stranger danger is pretty much bullshit. Don't take food from strangers, don't go anywhere with strangers, scream bloody murder if someone grabs you.. But otherwise be polite and friendly.
It's the family members you have to watch out for, statistically speaking. Teach kids it's actually the strangers who are more dangerous, and they're less likely to turn outside the family for aid if they need it. You want a kid to be comfortable approaching someone for assistance or help.

Kid should get someone to contact police and have her arrested with aggravated assault on a minor with a deadly weapon. Video proves it crystal clear. No regard for their safety and no logical reason for her to be backing up that way on a residential street, nonetheless doing that on a street where kids are playing. I hope the worst for this lady. Shitty people like her don't deserve to reproduce. Yet she probably has 7 kids just like her.

From context clues, she was just mad that they were hanging out and playing in the road. If they had done something like run out in front of her car or menace her, she would have mentioned that. But all she said was that they're always in the road, and she doesn't have to yield to them.
sin-eater82 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 15:49:36 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The video starts with one of the kids saying that he wishes she we a guy. Presumably to say "I wish you were a guy so it would be socially acceptable to hit you".
That's "being menacing" by any definition I can think of.
Now, that's not to say they were being menacing prior to that moment. But there's good reason to believe it's possible that they were.
HawkofDarkness ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 16:29:16 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

It's clear that she's the one in the wrong here, and it's correct that she's getting away with this shit because she's a woman.

I wouldn't say that exactly. I would say that she is clearly wrong (and I believe she is wrong in how she's behaving). But saying that she's "one in the wrong" is implying that the kids are in no way wrong. And we really don't know that. In fact, while the kid with the phone is seemingly being polite, you can hear the kids in the background pretty much being shitheads.
Are you saying that if she were a guy it would be different? In what way? Do you really think the kids would actually try to fight a grown man?

Problem with crazy people is that youll never know whats going through their head while they're angry. One split second decision to grab a gun and this situation could have turned really bad really quickly. Kid handled her extremely well, dont get me wrong; but trying to talk and reason with a lunatic is like trying to talk a grizzly bear into not attacking you. Thats why I don't mess with crazy.
This woman needs help. And some anger management classes.

The kid knew he was in the right by being a kid. That shit is strong. Any adult treating a kid like that is fucked up and he knew it. Good on him. It's like looking back at all the injustices you got hit with as a kid and wishing you had your current adult mind to have done something about it. This kid was smarter than her and she couldn't do anything about it. I really enjoyed watching him make her seem dumber and dumber the longer she argued with a kid.

She probably should be arrested. A little over halfway in the video she gets back in her car, drives a distance, then violently reverses towards the kids, even turning her car to make sure she didn't miss.
I'm pretty sure that's assault.

I don't know about assault, maybe ATTEMPTED something but not assault.

MadGeekling ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 15:52:13 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Well if I'm not mistaken, assault is the act of physically attacking someone. Battery is when you succeed basically.
So swinging something or driving violently into someone would be assault. It would have been assault and battery if she actually hit the kid.
I could be mistaken though.

I wanna agree with you, but I feel like that's kind of a stretch. Anyone and their mother could threaten you. Do they have the means to carry out that threat? No? Well...
That's doesn't mean I'm defending someone who threatens another person because that shit ain't cool, I'm in no way behind that. But you have to take multiple factors into account.
In this case the lady was fucking nuts, and her threats and actions should actually be counted as assault, if what an earlier poster said, holds true

Works being an employee providing a service, too. Yell at a cashier for a wrong price and they argue back? You got a situation. Yell at a cashier who apologizes, fixes it, and tells you to have a wonderful day while you're still fuming? Congrats, you're the asshole customer people will talk about all week now.

I work at a retail pharmacy, and when I have customers who are angry without reason like this woman is, I do exactly what you said. I put a smile on and say "ma'am/sir, I hope you have an absolutely wonderful day." Pisses them off to the nth degree. But what are they gonna do? Go ahead tell corporate I told you to have a wonderful day.

Oh god I loved that being in the military. In boot camp they drill the whole stand at attention and say yes sir no sir, yes chief no chief etc. But when you get into the fleet that pretty much goes away for most people so if someone wanted to get pissy with me I'd pop to attention with the 1000 yard stare like I'm looking through them and start sandwiching replies and leaving off extra stuff like what we'd normally add in conversation. Start referring to yourself as one or this sailor.

Careful, though. The "kill them with kindness" method once almost got me attacked by a raving meth-head.

That's the best way to piss people off in general. The very first time I did it it felt so good. Some teenage girl hit my car in a parking lot while I was working at this yogurt stand (she didn't put the parking break on and it rolled downhill into mine) and got ordered to pay a couple hundred by the insurance.
She came back a few days later, saw I hadn't fixed the dent yet (and wasn't legally required to either, I was encouraged to pocket the money) and came into the store cursing me out and yelling.
I remained sickly sweet and tried to sell her yogurt. I got to yell "Y'all have a great day!" In my best sweet-southern-belle accent as she stormed out with her friend. It was glorious.

When I worked on a beach (long story) sometimes my younger employees would have run ins with assholes and I'd have to get involved. They loved to wish people a nice day as they were being kicked off the beach to make them lose their shit. The absolute best was when one did it as the cops were approaching so they walked up to find a grown lady having a tantrum at a 15 year old kid.
This just reminded me of how much of a little shit I was. When I was like 10 playing in a baseball game one of the other coaches started swearing when his son struck out. In my most annoyingly innocent voice I called out "watch your language coach" and he exploded screaming at me while the umps (who were like 16) had to try to diffuse the situation, he ended up being recalled as a judge since he did this in front of half the local parents.

I would say on average 1-2 angry people a week. They're usually mad because they owe fines and they will want us to forgive them for one reason or another and we won't because they rightfully owe fines. Or they are mad that they've lost a book and we won't forgive the fines for them. Or they come in claiming they returned something but it's nowhere on the shelf. Various things. I've had people throw things at me, yell at me, call me names. It's just like working a retail job. It's probably worse though because residents pay a tax to the library and they like to hold that over our heads whenever they don't get their way. One time I told some lady who was pissed off to have a nice day as she was leaving and told me not to patronize her...lol! It's a very eventual job.

It's because he probably has to. He seems like a smart kid but admits he's not a tough one. I grew up in a tough guy town like appears to be the case for this kid. Learning to use your intelligence as a defensive weapon is one of the best survival mechanisms possible. I wasn't beating anyone's ass, and I wasn't a tough guy, but I never got my ass beat either. Came close lots of times, but for whatever reason when people like this realize they are out smarted they tend to back down. Not always of course, but when they realize you're not going to respond in the same "tough guy" way they are behaving (this lady was clearly looking for a physical altercation), they get worried and don't know how to react.

When you see someone with damage to their car like that it means two things: 1, They were at fault for the damage in the eyes of their insurance company. 2, they have the bare minimum coverage and thus were denied coverage by their insurer to have it repaired.
Be aware, if someone like this causes an accident and damages your car, they probably don't have the coverage to fix your car either if it's a major accident, you'll be stuck having your insurance pay. I always keep a distance when I see cars like this white trash bitch's on the road.

It's not the U.K. it would probably be Assault with a deadly weapon (assuming it's in Florida based on the woman's tag) if the police chose to charge. With escalation to the sentence since the victim was a minor.

Bottom line is whether she was actually trying to hit him or not it's unacceptable.

If she hits him it is battery.
But, also assault because the "fear" before being hit (hence the common phrase "assault & battery".
Per google search, assault is: "an act, criminal or tortious, that threatens physical harm to a person, whether or not actual harm is done".
So, even when she is walking at him and he keeps saying "get away", "don't keep walking toward me", "I feel threatened", etc. he's setting the video up for clear assault evidence. Which, she arguably did commit because of the car, she kept walking (albeit just a few steps) at him several times after being asked to stop, and maybe even her threatening to break his phone/other threats of violence.
This kid knows his stuff.

Seems like assault to me. Doing something like moving a one-ton heap of steel towards a child in order to scare him definitely seems like it'd be illegal to me. It's not really substantially different from, say, shooting at someone but deliberately missing.

People drive cars around public spaces all the time. People don't go around shooting aimlessly. Legally they may both be considered assault with a deadly weapon, I'm just saying they're not exactly the same thing.

The gun is probably more deadly, but cars really are pretty deadly too. Guns hurt you in one place, whereas cars are blunt force all over your body. It all depends on where you are shot, and how fast you are hit by a car.
I don't think the kid would have died if he got hit by the woman there, but I do think he'd be in a world of pain.

Not exactly the same thing, because they would both involve different charges--pretty sure the gun one would involve a charge like unlawful discharge of weapon in public place, and the car would be reckless driving. Each state is different so I really can't say. My point is both would be also assault with a deadly weapon.
The gun charge would almost certainly get you more jail time/punishment.

If intent to harm could be proven, driving a car at someone could be prosecuted as assault with a deadly weapon. Not just reckless driving.
And you could throw a litany of other charges on the car thing too.

gigglefarting ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:24:19 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Here's a website that describes what assault is and its elements.
Elements:
Having watched the video the woman definitely drove her car at him as well as walked aggressively towards him while punching her first, so there's the intended act. The kid said out loud that "he felt threatened" that she was going to hit him in the moment, and I think his feelings were reasonable. So that takes care of the reasonableness and imminence. And hitting someone with either your hands or is harmful.
All the elements check out. She assaulted him.
Regardless of her intent to either him or scare him, I honestly thought she was going to hit him in some way if given the chance while watching the video. And even if her intention was to rip his phone out of his hands, I think that could fall under being offensive. I would be offended if someone ripped my phone out of my hands.

I think it's important to note that the exact nature can vary from state to state. For example, in my state there are no battery charges, what others would call battery we call assault, and what others call assault is something else.

Also when she was punching her hand while walking towards him - that was absolutely a threat of violence, whether she intended to follow through on it or not. That definitely would land under assault.

thisismadeofwood ยท 78 points ยท Posted at 14:24:27 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Depending on the specific definitions in their state that would be assault. Assault is intentionally making the other person fear that you are going to batter them. You aren't allowed to go around scaring people into thinking you are going to hit them with your car. People confuse assault and battery way too often. Assault is the threat or attempted battery. Battery is the actual harmful or offensive touching.

Thanks for doing the 10 seconds of research I was too lazy to do. Looks like in this case, as is common with assault, it will hinge on the fear of the alleged victim.
KillingTime187 ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 16:04:06 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Generally not the victim so much as a reasonable person in the position of the victim, under the victims circumstances (e.g. a reasonable 14 year old of the same height)
thisismadeofwood ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 16:09:00 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I don't think that's correct. In this case the victim has to actually be afraid because the crime involves the creation of fear. If a reasonable person would have been, but the victim was not, then it can't be assault unless you're going with the attempted battery form of assault
"Which creates a well-founded fear in such other person" If the fear is not created then that element of the crime is not met. All elements must be met for a conviction.
KillingTime187 ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 16:13:20 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I'm referring to the way the judge interprets the element of well-founded fear. It has to be a situation in which the act would create well-founded fear in any reasonable person in the same position as the victim, otherwise anyone could be successful filing assault charges by claiming they had fear. If a reasonable person in the same position would have had a well-founded fear, the element is satisfied.
thisismadeofwood ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 16:30:29 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
So both are correct, and you have to have both for a conviction. First, you have to prove that the victim did in fact have the fear. Then, you have to meet the reasonable person burden to show that the fear alleged would have been created in a reasonable person of similar circumstances.

It could, yes. Also, in California at least, attempted battery is assault. So attempting to commit battery with a deadly weapon would also be assault with a deadly weapon. This could also be considered aggravated assault.

Her behavior may have its own consequences but chances are she doesn't attribute any of the negative things that happen to her to her own behavior; it's likely nothing is ever her fault. If people don't pursue making her recognize what she did isn't right, then she will just continue doing it. I'm not saying taking legal action will make her rethink her life and magically become a better person, but it'd likely make her think twice the next time she tries to pull shit like this.

An automobile is lethal weapon and he had a credible belief that she was trying to harm him. That meets the definition of terroristic threat in those places. In many states that's a felony.

Does that really make that much of a difference to you? She's willing to almost run down a 14 year old kid who has tried being polite to her, and that's the part you're stuck on?
This bitch is an adult, threatening a 14 year old kid, and then veering her car toward him. I think it's pretty safe to say that she wouldn't care a whole lot if she ran the kid down. She'd cry in the courtroom when she got sentenced. Right up until then tho, no remorse.

Yes and trying to scare someone by directing a deadly object towards them is assault with a deadly weapon. Thats what the crime and tort of "assault" is in the United States: deliberately making someone fearful of imminent bodily contact - thats the "assault" part of "assault and battery" (the battery part is the actual contact).
So the kid was precisely right that she was trying to assault him...she was probably not trying to batter him.

I also assume you can't leave a running vehicle in the middle of the road while you rage at pedestrians. In Edmonton a few months ago there was a cop "panhandling" at an intersection and writing tickets for those people who took off their seatbelts to give him (the panhandling officer) change.

Most cops have kids and families, you show them that video and she would get a visit. Even if it wasn't an arrestable offense they'll show up just to let them know that they know where she lives and that they do not approve of what she's doing, it's the police equivalent of a shake down.

on the contrary, i always drive barefoot if I'm wearing flipflops (i kick of the right flipflop). it's way safer. i once got my flipflop caught up under the accelerator at a bad angle so i couldn't accelerate. i didn't want to see what happens if it gets caught up under the brake pedal.
geoken ยท 28 points ยท Posted at 15:12:42 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
How is control compromised? Race drivers wear shoes with the minimum amount of rubber because they want to maximize pedal feel. The only reason there is any rubber on their soles is because it adds grip.
Bare feet are obviously better in the pedal feel department but worse that rubber in grip. If you're going to say they're illegal because of the diminished grip, then what about all the shoes with even worse grip? My dress shoes for example have a sole that looks like finished wood (I'm sure it's actually some other synthetic material but apart from the carpeted floor at my work, they are crazy slippery). Original Toms also have a sole that seems like they found some way to force ice to never melt.

Control is definitely compromised in heels due to how the ankle pivots and how the heel of the shoe can get wedged into the carpet if you're not careful. It's, of course, perfectly legal to wear heels while driving, but it's SUPER difficult to get used to if you don't regularly wear them (which I do not).
Whenever I'm wearing a high heeled shoe, I'll either kick them off so I can be more comfortable with the pedals or (if I was smart that day) take some flats with me to wear while I drive and change my shoes back before I get out of the car. Personally, I think driving without shoes is gross (because usually people drive with shoes on and that means you're putting your bare foot on every gross thing people's shoe soles have touched-- probably more disgusting if you're in the city instead of burbs/countryside) but it's better IMO to be a little gross than to get in an accident due to footwear.
Bubcha ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 15:42:27 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
It's that they're less fixed to the foot and could hook the pedal.
A big problem (and why manufacturers now install brake assists) with normal drivers is they don't use the car to its full potential. I could see being barefoot being uncomfortable or sometimes painful if you have to slam on the brakes in an emergency and you might use even less force.

I drive barefoot all the damn time in the summer; mainly because I wear flip flops a lot. Literally keep a pair of old Sperrys tucked under my seat in case I need to throw shoes on real quick if I get pulled over.
They came in handy once a few months ago; probably won't ever leave my driveway without them in my car again.

I have always been told if you are wearing flip flops to take them off and drive barefoot.
Due to the inherent nature of flip flops, they have a higher potential of getting caught up between the pedals and the floorboard, possibly wedging themselves and causing disruption to your ability to control the pedals.

I think the intent is pretty clear if you approach a stop sign 3 times, reverse twice and then get out of your car to harass a 14 year old kid. Correct me if I'm wrong but swerving toward him clearly delineates the intent from just backing up during the regular use of a vehicle. If she can prove there was a necessity for her to back up that many times and with that speed, maybe, but I think any prosecutor could use that damning of a video to remove any doubt that a judge would have.
Also I'm glad to hear at least one cop say they would arrest that bitch. I hope someone submits this video to local news outlets so she can at least face the music in her community and not just through random reddit users bashing her.

You must be a cop in the states. In Canada someone has to basically shoot you in the face to get the cops to care. My neighbour called the cops recently because some guy was in his bushes at 4am and threatened him when he confronted him and the cops didn't even come out. They just asked for a description and told him they would 'look for him'.

Most laws would fall under this but a lot of crimes against persons would require intent to harm. Sometimes lesser charges exist like manslaughter for negligence vs. homicide for intent.

It is a law in some places. The "logic" is that if you step on the brake but it has a wasp or a piece of glass on it, you'll pull your foot back instead of stopping the car.
That said, she did have flip flops. She just apparently took them off the first time she got out of the car, because she picks them back up before getting in.

Can you cite which places have those laws? A quick Google search shows that no US state has such a law, nor does the UK. Someone else pointed out it's not the case for German-language countries either.
Also, a couple of DMV statements that I saw recommended the use of footwear, citing traction, not the possibility of stepping on a wasp. That's a very interesting and creative justification for opposing barefoot driving.

A long time ago brakes were connected to the pedal, not through hydraulics. When you stopped, the heat transferred from the breaks to the pedal and would get really hot. If you are barefoot then you wouldn't be able to hold the brakes to stop through the heat. At least that's the story I heard about why it was "illegal to drive barefoot" at some point in time.

Because especially on older cars, the pedals get very hot when the car has been running for a while. The idea is that people would step on the brake, burn their foot, release the brake, and smash into stuff.

It is in Germany. Today it is probably not as relevant anymore but car breaks used to require lots of force. Barefoot you might not be able to brake as hard. Also you are not allowed to drive with flip flops because they can get caught in the pedals or slip.

Not to mention, it's the district attorney who decides what the charges are. A police officer's ticket is only a recommendation to the DA of what to charge. He could write her a disorderly conduct ticket, but after reviewing the details, the DA could go so far as to file charges for attempted vehicular homicide. Then it's up to a jury.

LOL, that sounds so cynical but I totally agree.
Also.. why does it seem like the whole judicial process in America is based on winning or losing, instead of finding out the truth and doing the right thing?
nermid ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 22:28:23 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Well, I'm not a lawyer, but the idea is that there are two possibilities: either the State can prove that you're guilty (in which case the right thing is to punish you for your crimes), or the State can't prove that you're guilty (in which case, the right thing is to leave you alone). The fact that the State can't prove you're guilty doesn't mean you're innocent. It doesn't mean there's no way to prove you're guilty, or even that there's no legal way to prove you're guilty.
But if they don't prove it, they can't do anything about it.
So, the State is responsible for doing its best to prove its case (because theoretically, they should only charge you with something if they actually believe you're guilty), but that hinges on them being able to prove it. The trial is a judge and jury deciding whether they've actually proven it or not.
So, while it seems like everything is about winning or losing, it's really just the end of what's meant to be a long road of finding out the truth and what the right thing to do is.
For criminal trials, anyway. Civil trials are their own thing that I don't really know enough about to speak on.
Noir24 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 22:39:42 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Sounds sort of interesting but I'm mostly curious as to why the prosecuting side has anything to win by getting the defense on their knees? I mean, aren't the defense and the prosecuting side working towards the same goal: the truth?
I dunno, I've just seen a lot of movies of the American justice system, also Making a murderer and such, and I'm curious as well if this is generally how things work.
It just feels so fucked up that for example the prosecuting side's office will pay more if the accused is convicted and the same if the defense can get the accused released.
If that's how things actually are then that just seems like the most corrupt shit ever
nermid ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 22:52:27 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Truth is one of those big, capital-letter words that philosophers deal with. The prosecution is working to prove that the State is correct that the defendent is guilty. The defense is working to show that the State hasn't proven that.
The prosecuting side has something to win by getting the defense on their knees because it means they've proven their case and the person really is guilty. Because when criminals are punished for their crimes, everybody in society (except the criminal) wins.
The defense has something to win by getting the prosecution on their knees because it means they've proven the state hasn't proven their case, and thus can't punish the defendent. Because when people are punished for crimes without it being proven that they committed those crimes, everybody in society (including the alleged criminal) loses.
I would urge you to remember how well movies cover pretty much every single other aspect of life. That is, not well.
I don't think that's really how that works.

This varies from state to state. Colorado, for instance, has no crime for battery and assault is the name for attacking another person with intent of bodily harm. Generally, police here will let people talking shit slide unless it's really bad and persistent, then it'll be a harassment charge.
nermid ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:26:41 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
In my understanding, in my state assault is the threat, battery is the misdemeanor for following through with it, and assault is the felony for following through with it. So, threatening to attack somebody and then doing it is either assault and battery or two counts of assault.

Well, nobody ever said things made sense in Kansas.
I'm not a lawyer, though. I was drawing from a law firm's site on the topic, where the only thing that resembles punishing a threat is the bottom part about "intentionally placing another person in reasonable apprehension of immediate bodily harm." It's entirely possible I've misread this.
MadPooter ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:59:00 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I think the only thing you misread was the connection between the felony and misdemeanor to the battery and assault respectively. Other than that you're correct.
Actually coming into contact with someone and causing harm to them is a greater crime than threatening someone with bodily harm.

With assault the victim has to find the threat to be credible. It could be argued in this case that "a reasonable person" would have had no real fear that her threat was credible.
I'm not arguing in her favor, just pointing out that threats, by themselves, don't necessarily constitute assault.
ChubbyZombie ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:01:03 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
In the video she swerves when backing up in his direction rather than straight back. I am not saying it is worth the possible damages or whether it would not be plead down. I don't think a reasonable person would be able to argue that the threat was not credible when she had previously tried to do that and later in the video alluded to where they lived which while not a threat in and of itself, in the context bolsters the argument.
Emperor_Neuro ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 18:19:41 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Especially when the jury is given the guidance to think not of a reasonable adults standards for what's threatening, but of a 14 year old's. There's probably extra legal protections and a lower standard for what a threat is when directed to a minor as well.

The magic words are "reasonable apprehension of imminent harm."

Just to add to this, the reason why people use the phrase, "assault and battery," is because "assault" is usually the threat of harm, while "battery" is the actual offensive contact. It's possible to have assault without battery.
Anyone reading this can easily look up how their state defines both of those terms, but I think it's relatively consistent.

You may be technically correct, but I think most people associate assault with physical violence. I just think saying "I'm going to kick your ass" or making a threatening gesture towards someone shouldn't be confused with the general public's understanding of assault. If you want to make it illegal, fine, but call it what it is - a threat.
Lacinl ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 17:18:28 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Saying you're going to kick someone's ass, then stepping toward them in an aggressive manner would likely be considered assault. Simply threatening it might not be as some people say they're gonna kick your ass as a joke and it needs to be a credible threat.
When you see someone hold up a store with a gun, they are using the threat of the gun to coerce the shopkeeper into giving up their property. This is assault whether or not the gun is loaded or even real. The fact that it's labeled as assault with a deadly weapon instead of attempted murder means that the weapon was likely never discharged.
I think that the meaning of the law as written should be reinforced and that incorrect notions instilled into people by fictional television programs should be corrected.

a reasonable apprehensionโ:ย This means that the victim had a reasonable belief that they would be harmed by the defendant.ย The victim must perceive (apprehend) the defendantโs acts.โ of imminent harmโ:ย The victim must experience fear in response to a threat that is imminent, or immediately about to occur.ย Future threats, such as, โI will beat you up next weekโ do not result in assault charges.ย Also, the harm must present some sort of perceived physical danger to the victim, and so words by themselves generally do not constitute assault.โ
that is either harmful or offensiveโ:ย The defendantโs conduct must present either a physical threat or offensive behavior to the defendant.ย Thus, pretending to kick the victim may be an assault, as would be attempting to spit on the victim (offensive behavior).

Actually when she was walking toward him aggressively and backing up toward him, those would be assault. Charges could be filed. Most people think assault and battery are the same thing. I did too until a few weeks ago.

Lol, I noticed that.
However, the police should care about the content. She walked towards him in a threatening manor and expressed an intention to do physical harm. Hitting someone is battery, but the threat of physical violence is assault. She very clearly assualted that boy and I'd be interested to know if she is being prosecuted.

I worked in juvenile psych for years, and what we have here is what the shrinks called a power struggle. Adult wants the last word, at minimum, submission at best. To have the power of an adult in the situation, even as the frustration of having some kid backtalk her mounts.
Some people are not very good at recognizing they're caught in this loop until they're too angry to calm down on their own without being removed from the situation, and some kids are REALLY good at spinning people up by being juuuust defiant enough to provoke this reaction while still looking perfectly innocent.
Lady's obviously in the wrong, of course. My personal motto when it came to dealing with power struggles like this was "If you find yourself yelling at a 14 year old, you're wrong."

THIS. I am a teacher and specialized in behavior at my previous job. She totally got sucked into a power struggle. There were several other ways to address this (or just walk away). I have talked to kids about being in the street before, but you have to help them understand it from the perspective of the driver. A great way to make that connection could be to lead in by talking to them calmly about when they start driving, or express concern for their safety.
All I could think was...I hope she doesn't have kids of her own. Too many adults go bat shit on kids like this too often. This is how they grow into toxic adults. And so it goes...

People who are in control of the situation don't really need to get mad and scream. It's more in line with someone who feels like they aren't. Honestly, what did she gain by fighting with the kid in the street? If she really felt like what the kids were doing was illegal or dangerous why not just calmly inform them? In the case where that isn't effective, she could call the police complaint line (not 911) and let the police come out and resolve the situation possibly resulting in contacting their parents.
I also work with pediatric and adult Psyche patients. I calmly inform them how things are going to go. They can say whatever the want in protest as long as they follow the instructions. If they don't (in the case of things that are not safe or are harmful) then I follow through with what I communicated would happen. Usually restraints if they are trying to hurt me or themselves, a mask if they are spitting, or whatever else is required to make a safe transport.

If you're not in authority over the kid, you don't get to punish them. Even if they cuss you out and insult you. Even if you're completely in the right. Unless you can find someone who does have authority over them or they've done something illegal, you have 0 recourse other than to walk away and continue your life knowing you're better than some shitty kid.

The entire core dynamic of a power struggle like this is the idea of 'winning' a yell-at-each-other match.. and having the other side KNOW you won. As soon as you realize that, and that it doesn't matter who 'won'.. the sooner you can get back to whatever you were doing .

A random kid? You like random people, you can't win.
At school though, if a kid is texting in class and has some random excuse. You give them a choice so they have some control. Always offer a choice and make the punishment simple and manageable. (also doesn't waste your time.)
"Give me your phone now and you can have it at the end of class or you can fight with me and then it goes to the office where you have to pay. We only have 20 minutes of class left."
The best option is obvious but it still gives the kid power to choose.

I was originally thinking the of adult being teacher/parent of said teen. But no reason I can't try to find an application of this as per circumstances of the video. Let's say that some kids are using your yard for kicking a ball around but you don't like that and they won't listen to you telling them to get off your property. Because knowing where they live to have the parents deal with them would be to easy, let's assume you don't know.
In this instance, after 3-4 minutes of them being blatantly in the wrong and pushing on your rights you give a warning that you will call the police because it is in your right to do so. They will most likely respond with "DO IT, I DARE YOU" or something of that nature because they don't think you care enough for that. And then call the cops because it is an actual problem that requires their assistance because you do not have enough authority over them to do anything other then prolong the conflict.
Not the most satisfying answer but this is about all you can do as an adult with no connection to the kids other than they are on your lawn actually abusing your rights. I will reiterate I instinctively thought of a teacher/parent role for this advice not someone without prior connection to the problematic kids.

I'm assuming that you live on your own, support yourself, etc. because that makes answering this question a lot easier. The answer? Don't engage. You are a 30-something year-old man. You do not need your mom's permission. So, if you tell her something, and she's like "You shouldn't do that or you should do it this way," calmly state, "Thanks for your advice, but that's what I've decided to do." The end. Keep calm, change the subject. She can't have an argument with you if you don't join in.
The proper way to deal with these kids would have been carefully navigating around them and continuing on her way home. I really don't understand her thought process. "I'm gonna tell them they're wrong, then they'll change their behavior." Ha ha ha. Has she just never talked to anyone between the ages of 12 and 23? 'Cause if you think you can talk sense into them, especially with no ability to punish them or incentives to offer, she's crazier than we thought.

I've started doing that. She lives on another coast and decided on her own, without consultation, that she would be staying with my and my family for 10 days. I told her she wasn't welcome to stay for more than two due to previous recent issues. Now, she's throwing a temper tantrum becauase I "hurt her feelings" while she completely disregards mine and won't speak to me directly but through my 11 year old daughter by saying things like "This is why your father and I are fighting". The crux of the issue is she makes decisions for me, without my knowledge citing that she "wants the best for me". For example, I'm renovating my home, so she bought tile she liked without as much as a phone call. It's that kind of stuff.

I used to run a pizza place in an area that had riots in 2015, and the week after we kept having issues with teenagers. They were waiting on a bus stop outside my store, and they were throwing empty bottles at each other, but "missing" and hitting the windows, and sitting on my drivers car. My driver started to flip shit at them, so I sent him inside, and told him to call the non emergency number and ask the police to do a drive by. Then I sat out front and recorded it with my phone, because as long as they were in the parking lot, I had permission to do so (woo I know my city's laws!!). The kids flipped out at me and I just sat there recording them asking them to leave my property please. Finally one girl goes "omg guys stop! She's recording!" And they all were like "idgaf fuck the police!" And she goes "Guys! We're in our SCHOOL UNIFORMS! AND SHES RECORDING US!"
I just smiled and told them to have a nice day. The girl started to point out that I was gonna get them in trouble with the school, who would contact their parents (and yes I would, since my AM was the Valedictorian at the same school). The police showed up and chilled with me while we waited for the bus to come, and the kids stood there silent and angry, sulking. They left, the cops and I laughed. I didnt send the video in, but I have it to my AM who thought it was hilarious. Never had an issue with those little shits again.

And yes, she should have left about ten seconds into the video. Knowing the reason behind a behavior explains it, but it doesn't excuse it.

Yeah I think it wasn't him trying to bait her for the sake of getting a good video but more about him being too prideful too back down knowing he was in the right. He simply thought "why should I take this from this lady when I'm right, she should be the one to leave not me". walking away from an argument when you know you're right requires a level of maturity many Adults don't have and to expect kids to have it is just unrealistic. Both wanted the last word in and the adult was not mature enough to actually break the cycle.

If we get belligerent people acting like that we can ask them to move on, or call the cops. We have anti-social behavioural orders for people that cause constant problems in the UK, and we have prison sentences if they continually violate their orders.
Years ago I worked outreach with offenders. Some of my colleagues got attacked because they were too soft, or were actually disrespectful. There was one reason I was never attacked. People knew I would hurt them if they ever became remotely violent towards me. I made a point of letting anyone that seemed belligerent that, and it neutralises them. As a result of not treating them like snowflakes, I'm the only person I know that has had people turn weapons over to me.
It's not an immature adult to say "I won't accept your shit", or "this is what will happen if you try your regular stuff with me". It's not uncaring or unfeeling at all. By establishing a concrete ground, you have a foundation to build upon. Until you've met young people covered in scars, missing eyes, because others have put them in their place, you have no right to an opinion on what happens to these brats.
It honestly sounds like the institution you were part of was harming and perpetuating delusions these types have. They are not entitled to respect when they threaten a woman as individuals or members of groups.

I still find it funny when kids do covert brat things, but this was overt, threatening, and tbh makes me understand why that guy shot that little punk a few years back.
These little a-holes start the video threatening violence upon a woman. Imagine how she feels for a second... She's not that large a woman, I'd guess low 5-feet, maybe 140lbs, there is one of her, at least two adolescents with testosterone, at-least her height, telling her "If you were a guy".

That is a credible threat of violence by a group of multiple people, larger than she was. If she hits them with her car next-time, good!
Ditto. If anyone is on the fence, this person thinks it's okay to threaten women in groups over "your perceived rights", rather than focusing on "your responsibilities as a citizen".
I have no criminal record, I've been a lecturer and vetted for young people's safety by other professionals working in that space.

I'm a Floridian and started noticing Salt Life on a lot of cars out of nowhere. I couldn't read the font and thought it looked more like Slut Life (didn't notice the A) at first. I was very confused.

I'm not the only one, then! It took me awhile to figure out what the new phrase I was seeing on the back of cars actually was. I knew it couldn't be "slut life" but the A was just too small so my brain filled it in as slut instead of salt.

Leg tattoo, check.
Bare feet, while driving (illegal in Florida) check.
Car clearly damaged from poor driving skills. Check.
All she needs is a couple of toddlers in just dirty diapers rolling loose in the back seat and an open 40 to hit Florida trailer bingo.
Edit: I get it, driving barefoot is legal, it's just a myth. I also learned that 40s are illegal in Florida!

LPT: If you can't think your way out of your current situation in an argument, you ain't gonna be able to argue your way out either. Cut your losses and move on.
This woman's got it all...doesn't know the law, can't come up with good quips, loses the comeback war, leaves and comes back to say more...she's got "I'm losing this argument" written all over her. She even resorts to picking him apart for name calling, which he didn't even do.
This woman probably is married to a pushover guy who swears when he argues and she uses that to win every argument. Her husband is probably smarter than her but more socially awkward so doesn't leave or stand up for himself out of fear of being single forever.
The answer is "yes"...when you act like a tool in public, you are often that transparent...

Wonder Showzen, "hidden camera" (in the sense that people are being recorded but if they know it they don't know the real reason) sketch comedy show presented as if it's children's educational television. In this sequence a puppet is used to ask offensive, awkward, or just provocative questions to people and they film their reactions.
This guy, apparently monstrously retarded, took offense to someone recording him and, as a result of being fundamentally broken in the head, followed the camera for two minutes while complaining about being on it.
The show itself is pretty incredible. It's not like some shows where they do a reveal, it's straight up people thinking they're on educational television and then a kid calls them a nazi or something.

or unconstitutional. Ever ask one of these people exactly which part of the constitution the ACA violates? Fun stuff.
Edit: And here come the downvotes lol.
Edit2: The ACA haters here seem to be missing the point. This post was never about whether the ACA is good or not. It's about idiots that go around calling everything unconstitutional despite a clear absence of anything in the constitution that addresses it. It's not a political discussion about whether the ACA should remain or go. In fact, I specifically avoided making any comments supporting or demeaning the act. You'll notice that i did not make a single comment on the contents of the ACA itself.
Of course, if these people could separate an argument about a subset of people hate on the ACA from one on whether it is constitutional or beneficial I wouldn't have needed to make this post. The replies below are a really good illustration of what I mean about people being unable to separate unrelated arguments, and viewing "unconstitutional" as a personal insult rather than one of fact.
Tl;DR: People use "unconstitutional" as an insult against anything they disagree with all the time, particularly the ACA. It's silly to deny that fact, regardless of your stance on the ACA.

It's not that the ACA "violates a part of the Constitution". That implies that the federal government has the right to do anything except the things the constitution says they can't do. That's actually the total opposite way the Constitution works. Right there in the Constitution it actually says that the federal government's powers are "limited and enumerated" to the ones listed in the Constitution. Which means that by default, the federal government is allowed to do nothing at all. The only things they are allowed to do from there are listed and limited to the powers the Constitution is allowed to have. None of those powers listed says anything about healthcare however they do have the right to regulate commerce so maybe the ACA could be justified that way? But seems like a strech imo.

I don't know why everyone answering you is speculating about the ACA's legality when the Supreme Court has literally already addressed the issue. Only 4 justices said it was supported by the Commerce Clause (Kennedy voted with the conservatives). Instead, Roberts joined the liberals to say it was justified under Congress's power to tax (referring to the penalty you pay if you don't have your own insurance).
Anyone mentioning anything about Congress's power to legislate for the "general welfare" of the people has no idea what he's talking about. That's only found in the preamble, which does not enumerate any legislative powers. The preamble is just saying, "Hey, the general idea of this whole Constitution thing is secure liberty, make people better, that kind of thing."

I don't disagree. I was mostly just responding to people calling it the general welfare power, which doesn't exist. It's the taxing power. That specific mention about general welfare has traditionally had little to no teeth in actual legal interpretation.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment, be sure to see the post Morgio made about article 1 section 8, they are right. The general welfare phrase is indeed not just in the preamble. Anyway, most people have a hard time having a nuanced discussion and instead turn everything into a left vs right fight. I am not interested in political debate but I was happy to educate this person on how the constitution works with regard to the powers of the federal government. I'm offering no opinion. I am merely stating that the Constitution says that the federal govs powers are limited to the ones listed in the Constitution. If that fact offended anyone then I don't know what to say haha.
It is a sad truth that many US citizens believe the federal government can do anything they want unless the Constitution says they can't. They couldn't be more wrong. The federal governent is not allowed to do anything at all unless they can point to the part of the Constitution that says they can. My only goal is to give facts and let ppl make their own opinions. Some ppl think that the general welfare clause or commerce clause are justification for the ACA. That's ok with me. As long as they understand that the federal governments powers are limited to the ones listed in the Constitution. That's too much for some people who care more about getting their way than they do about the foundation of our republic :)

Galotha ยท 24 points ยท Posted at 15:00:42 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Actually yes. That's why states have enacted laws regarding those things. The federal government did not.
The Supreme Court had cases brought to them regarding those laws and a decision was made on the legality of the laws.
The ACA was not a state law and also is not specified by the constitution as being within the federal governments power. Therefore it is not legal per the constitution.
But then again loads of things that Congress have done is not legal per the constitution. So at this point the constitution is just a talking point.

Federal laws that touch on marriage :
The one that states that a marriage performed/recognized in one state is to be held as legal in all of them.
IRS rules for taxation.
There might be some involved in inheritance/estate law, but those that are most likely fall under the IRS.
Also, the military would be considered federal government, IIRC.

Well, that's what 5 of 9 supreme Court justices "think" (I think at least some of them ruled their way due to politics and not the Constitution). The equal access to marriage thing is baloney, under the old rules everyone could marry someone of the opposite sex. There was 0 intention for that meaning when it was written and nobody had taken it to mean such for 100 years. Politics were so far behind that the judges took it into their own hands, which unfortunately they did have to do.
I think it would've been better with its own federal law.

I don't really understand your argument for why equal access to marriage is baloney. I would consider marriage a protection under the law. It's a way for two people to join their accounts/estates to facilitate a family unit.

Tax and spend is indeed a power granted to the federal government. However, they cannot say for example, general welfare would be improved if no one used swear words. Or general welfare would be improved if private property didn't exist. The federal government is granted explicit power, and everything else is denied.

Depends on your point of view I suppose. If you think the constitution exists to let the government do anything it feels like, then I suppose you think the distinction is meaningless. Or, if you think the constitution was created to curtail the power of the federal government (which the overwhelming majority of historians and scholars agree with) then the distinction is quite important.
Taxing and spending for example is fine - compelling someone to purchase insurance, or say, taxing at 100% anyone who uses the word "fuck" is probably out of line with what the constitution was intended to do.

To be fair, at the time of it's writing, I do believe we still had doctors not necessarily washing their hands between patients. We didn't have the ability to save people from dying from things like cancer or even diabetes that we do now.
Also, the censorship "law" you "propose" would run directly afoul of the 1st Amendment, so that would be interesting to see how it goes. But we did used to have towns and such with vulgarity laws.

It's true that the constitution is a limitation on federal government power but you seem to assume that because something is limiting that power that the government should have little power. That's not really the case.
This has been decided by the Supreme court to not be a violation of the constitution and I agree. Taxing someone who doesn't have health insurance is fine because their choice not to buy health insurance harms the general welfare by increasing prices for everyone else. It is pretty much exactly how the constitution intended it to work.
MildlySuspicious ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:57:39 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That actually exactly the case and the original intent of the constitution. No one denies that; not a single historian that I know of. The only matter under disputed is we care or can "re-imagine" the intent as we see fit from time to time. This something to be careful of, even for you - as it means it's perfectly acceptable for the composition of the court to change and for them to change their mind.
morgio ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 20:11:11 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Is it the case though? The constitution was a response to the inadequacies of the articles of confederation whose primary problem was that it created a government that was too weak and powerless to get anything done. So then you have a clause which provides that Congress can provide for the general welfare (pretty broad right?) as well as a clause stating that the government can enact any law that is necessary and proper to execute any of the granted powers (again pretty broad language right?) Then you have founding fathers saying:
MildlySuspicious ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 20:34:27 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Your entire premise is wrong. There is not a clause giving congress the power to provide for the general welfare. You're citing the justification for the power granted instead of the power granted itself.
As I'm sure you're aware, the bill of rights was added to the constitution to directly combat the point of view you listed here.

Sorry typing too fast but we just discussed this, the grant of power is to tax and spend for the general welfare so yes it exists.

I'm not sure what you are trying to get at with this response, but just in case I will tell you this has zero to do with my "perceived bias" for one side or the other.
I don't have time right now to list a million examples, but the Supreme Court, and to a lesser extent courts like the 9th Circus of appeals have made hilariously absurd decisions that cannot be justified by any other reason than pure bias on their part-- not mine.
I don't read the article headline and call it day. I read their decisions they actually wrote themselves. Some of their arguments on why they passed or denied a law are so awful a ninth grader could refute them with ease, and I am not exaggerating.
If you want to laugh out loud, take a look at the most recent Travel Ban decision(ruled unconstitutional) by the Ninth Circus and read their arguments for declaring it unconstitutional. That decision was so bad the supreme actually ruled unanimously against it. I can't remember the last time I have seen that happen. That's what a joke their decision was.
I could go on and on with this. Point being, impartiality has been extremely bad with our recent courts and it has nothing to do with perception and everything to do with our stupid extremist political climate where no one can be the middle ground anymore.

I was saying that whether you are on the right or the left you more than likely view the Supreme Court as being biased against you. There are reasons you can list regardless of your political leanings. Liberals take issue with the hobby lobby ruling, Shelby county, citizens united, and a others. And there are rulings that Republicans immensely disliked. The ACA being a prime example.
I wasn't referring to their reasoning.
In any case, I hope you enjoy your day. I have things to do and people to spend time with. I wish you and yours the best.

It's a pretty shitty argument to claim that the founding document of our nation is simply not relevant anymore because it's old. And I don't think we've betrayed it either. The Constitution does grant a lot of powers, and I think the courts have upheld the integrity of it when it was threatened.

This doesn't change the fact that you can't cherry pick enforcing these laws when it benefits Republicans while ignoring them when it doesn't.

Depends on the section. The original constitution itself lays out powers, who has them, and basically says all powers not otherwise enumerated go to the states (who often then forward what they don't use to the counties, and in the cases of those counties with charters, often then forward it to the municipalities, and from there technically it's your own private property then you make the laws (as long as they don't violate any of the layers above yours)). The amendments to the constitution (primarily the first 10) - often called the bill of rights - describes limits on those powers, or any forwarded powers, that cannot be broken by any layer of government.
So Article 1 of the constitution describes various powers explicitly given to the legislative bodies. The first amendment to the constitution describes the right to free speech which the government may not violate with any power at any level.

I was walking down the street in a large city not long ago and this dbag with a camera kept getting in my face and followed me for series of city blocks. Of course I asked him nicely to leave but he kept saying it was his right blah blah blah. After a few minutes of that crap I just wanted to hit in his mouth so bad. I was really loosing myself in anger. But then I saw the look in his face that I've seen before as a kid. A look of someone who wants to ruin people's lives. He wanted me to hit him and he wasn't really hiding it. I'm sure he would have sued me and said that everything he did was legal. This brief moment of sanity also gave me the insight to walk into a retail store where they could tell him to fuck off. He passed on and I went home and not to jail.
Not saying everyone who knows the law, or thinks they know the law are aggravating turd holes but this guy was for sure. He wanted the attention and drama of me causing a scene.

What? Bringing up the ACA was besides the point of this whole thread. I haven't seen what you're talking about at all with people saying it's unconstitutional. The main complaint of the ACA is that it doesn't actually do anything to lower healthcare costs and it is a massive financial burden on lower income policy buyers who are forced to purchase bad coverage plans or else they get taxed thousands of dollars.

The ACA was upheld 5 to 4, with Robert's vote 5 almost having gone the other way. He upheld the law not because it was constitutional, but instead because he feared that striking the law down would somehow politicize and harm the Supreme Court as an institution.
Why don't you ask the 4 United States Supreme Court justices who held that the ACA is unconstitutional? Better yet, read their dissenting opinions where they explain it to you.
Even the majority who upheld the ACA rejected ALL of the government's arguments in support, and instead only saved it by invoking the tax power, when the ACA's proponents explicitly said it wasn't a tax, and the bill wasn't written as a tax.
Oh, and you are correct that the ACA does not violate any specific part of the Constitution. That is not the end of the analysis, though, because that is not how the Constitution works. It is not "do whatever you want unless this document says no", instead, Congress has no power to do anything unless the Constitution gives it that authority. The problem with the ACA is that nothing in the Constitution gives Congress the right to force me to have health insurance.
I'm pretty sure I recall even Keith Olbermann ranting about how the ACA is unconstitutional, and he is as left wing as people get.

Do you have a source for this? That would make him a pretty shitty judge... because then he would be making rulings based on politics rather than how he believed the decision should be made based on the law/constitution. Ironically the exact thing he was trying to avoid.

I remember reading news stories about it at the time discussing how the conservatives had his vote, but then Roberts turned on them later on because he was afraid that striking down the ACA would cause a crisis. The conservatives were really bitter about it.
I just googled up one of the many news stories: https://www.forbes.com/sites/theapothecary/2012/07/01/the-supreme-courts-john-roberts-changed-his-obamacare-vote-in-may/#6c89bde9d701
Conservatives saw it as Roberts caving in to left wing media pressure. I saw other comments about how Roberts was more concerned with politicization of the Supreme Court and its legitimacy being undermined in the eyes of liberals if he dared to strike down their major policy victory of the past 8 years.
Roberts is a smart man. He initially sided with the conservatives because that position represented his true beliefs, I do not believe that he suddenly "woke up" and realized the ACA was constitutional on the merits. His tax power argument essentially re-writes the law into something other than what was passed.

Hmm. But you see what I'm saying right? He digs himself into a whole either way. Either he appears to politicize the court by striking it down, or he actually does politicize the court by changing his vote, voting based on politics rather than the based on the law as he interprets it. I don't know which one would be the right way to handle it.

he picked the liberals over conservatives because he thought liberals would revolt against the USSC and destroy it as an institution, whereas the conservatives would get over it. of course the USSC is politicized anyway, and his bad call left us with the health care mess we have now.

Yea, but did liberals really have the power to take down the Supreme Court? Like if he had been the fifth vote to shut it down, what recourse would the liberals in congress have had? Do any politicians have the ability to take on the Supreme Court, given that they dominate the legislature?
Well, I would argue that most of the problems with Obamacare stem from the fact that it is not a true single payer system, something that the Republicans were unwilling to try. But that's a different discussion.
pewpsprinkler ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 17:57:43 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
They wouldn't need to take it down literally. They would just stop respecting it, and stop caring what it said, like Fox News. Anything that is ever on Fox News, if you bring it up to a liberal, they will completely dismiss it. Roberts was scared of this happening to the USSC.
Also, he was worried about "the politicization of the Court" whereby the court just becomes another partisan entity with no real respect for the rule of law, but that has already happened. Republicans and Democrats already try to stack the court with people who will vote for their side.
I'm pretty sure Ive read that single payer would cost trillions of dollars. Yep:

What a ridiculous dismissal. Interestingly enough every other developed country with a single payer system pays less per capita for healthcare and most of them have better healthcare outcomes than the US. The current system is the most expensive in the world (wiki), so while yes a single payer system in the US might be expensive, it is still likely to be less costly than the system we currently employ... which is, again, the most expensive in the world.

Sometimes it happens with police officers too. There was a recent case out of Florida where a man was walking across the street but the walk signal turned to stop while he was walking, so a police officer pulled him aside. The guy recorded the whole thing, including the cop's response when he said he didn't have ID on him, as he was just walking around. The cop said he could book him for just that, but according to Florida law you only need ID when driving or operating machinery

I had a guy drunkenly drive up to us while we were all hanging outside, threaten to kill one of my friends, chop him up into little pieces, take those pieces out to the ocean and dump him (if you didn't know this was Florida yet, now you know). Why did he threaten my friend, because the drunk guy was worried about his kids... This was at 10:30 at night. On a school night.
We weren't scared of his threat, but the man was a drunk POW with a record and known by the police for having to take calls involving him, and he was threatening a group of high schoolers...
To be fair, had this been during the day, his fear would have been credible because his children run around the yard and street and have no regard for their own safety. Not even a look both ways deal; just, "my ball is in the street now, must run out from nowhere and get it immediately!"

Yeah, I loved the "I don't have to yield!" line. Yes, you do. It is your responsibility to avoid an accident if you are able, and if that means stopping because some kids are in the road, then that is what you must do. Maybe they could be cited with jaywalking, or are breaking some other law, but that doesn't give you the right to hit children playing in the street of a suburb.

Surely if they are in the road breaking what I'll admit is a minor law, they are on some level declaring they don't care about their life?
It might not be so simple as "a death sentence for jaywalking", what if there was another car on the opposite side of the road, and you're both going 20 and can't stop? It could just as easily be stopped by y'know, not jaywalking. This is why some nations take it very seriously.
As an adult, I don't cross the road if there are cars within visible range, or if I can't see more than 50m. I'll walk until I find a legal crossing, or have 50m visibility in both directions. It's not logical or reasonable to rely on everyone else to protect your life, there is just too much to predict, but as it's the most precious thing you have, why not take some responsibilities along with your rights?

Just take this to it's logical conclusion. You have to stop for any citizen in the road, despite the fact they are not a car... Car-jacking would be much easier then.
Agreed
Again it depends. I'm not arguing for carte-blanche here.
Some kids got hit near where I live a little while back by some asshole BMW driver that was beyond speed limit and failed to stop even after hitting them when they were crossing a road horizontally. That is a bad attitude and a danger on the roads, and I feel sorry for them. They didn't flip the driver off, they were'nt being rude, attempting to intimidate, and the two young adults that hit them should rot.
Other kids near where I live have been known to cycle up roads, in the road, and throw bricks at cars.
It really depends and I think should be an individual call, but I've told my wife that I feel if she is ever in danger, to run problem people over. I would absolutely feel she was at least partially to blame if she did not do all that she could to defend herself including harming others regardless of the outcome.
When one of my cousins was 14 I saw him at my grandparents house. His foot had been run over. I was so mad at the driver. About an hour passes and I'm still pissed-off. Then he says "I don't even know what they were doing on the inside of a roundabout?" On a 50mph road. I told him flat out I no longer had any sympathy for him, and thought the driver should lawsuit him for damage to their car. This is the type of problem we are dealing with. Do you really want your kids breeding with idiots like that? He went on to lose his apprenticeship at 18 for drilling through a live water main...
Sounds harsh maybe, but I think people like that (would walk vertically up a road, in the road), are a drain on the species.

I think driving a car should be a far greater privilege than it is today. We should have computers recording all movement and velocity on every car so we automatically know about people who speed - specially in places with loads of children - , people who speed up instead of slowing down when they see a pedestrian crossing the street, people who drive like maniacs, just record all of that stuff in a central computer and automatically take away the licenses of people who consistently drive irresponsibly. Thirty thousand people die every year in car crashes and a fair percentage of those is due to people who were driving like idiots. Fortunately, driver-less vehicles are around the corner.

Even better, we can just plug everyone into a computer at birth and completely remove free will all together! I agree it should be a privilege but some people being bad drivers is not an excuse for Mass spying

No need to remove free will. You have free will to choose to drive stupidly, the machine registers this and automatically removes your ability to continue driving stupidly. No need for thousands to die pointlessly. We put very stringent demands on pilots of planes, yet planes are much safer than cars, we take extreme measures to prevent terrorism, yet far less people die from terrorist attacks - the only reason we tolerate 30,000 dead is because we have become acclimatised to this yearly toll. It didn't use to be like it - when people started getting killed by idiots driving like idiots, people were outraged and mobilized against this - but the car industry fought back with a huge amount of money by criminalising pedestrians and normalising those deaths as the price of progress. Your spirited defence of a system of organising ourselves which at the moment is the leading, and in too many pointless, cause of death for anyone under 45 is the result of those efforts.

Lmao you're all for it until Everytime you creep over the speed limit you get mailed a ticket, oh what's that? You've don't that x amount of times? Can't drive anymore. That's a horrible system. Just bc something is dangerous doesn't mean the government should get control of it. And for that matter, who controls this machine? I don't care enough to argue about this anymore though bc you're idea will never even have a chance of fruition so long as people can vote.
bogfield ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 22:20:35 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Not at all - if it's just creeping over the speed limit then the computer would know exactly that that's all it was. The problem is idiots who speed to 60 in 25 mph zones - why should we wait for them to kill someone? Or wait for a camera to catch them? Of course the system would work the way it does now, the punishment would be proportional - if you just creep over the speed limit it would only be a warning. If you are driving at dangerous speeds in residential area it would be revoked. This is actually the system we have in place, it's just badly enforced. And to be honest, with the use of sat navs and mobile phones this information is already pretty much being stored anyhow, I wouldn't be surprised if we see more and more of it used in courts.
Yet most things that are dangerous the government regulates. For some reason. I mean, try to buy some radioactive material or secure a missile in the black market, see how it goes. Try to use specialist heavy machinery or fly a plane without a license, see what happens. We have stringent rules for all of this, except for the largest cause of death for young people in the country - for that we don't care too much about what kind of irresponsible moron is behind the wheel and think 30,000 deaths a year is a price worth paying.
*Your idea, not you are idea.
And no. But driver-less cars fortunately are very near, it's very likely that the next generation won't tolerate idiot drivers once the tens of thousands of lives are saved every year and getting driving licenses will become extremely difficult, if not phased out altogether.

You would not be allowed to run over someone of driving age, since most rules of the road explicitly state that everyone has a duty to avoid a collision. It would just mean a pedestrian of age also has a duty to follow the rules of the road/right of way.

While I don't agree with it, last I checked some states require 2 party consent for audio recording.
This happened to me in Illinois several years ago, some dude was threatening my friends and I and followed us home we recorded it and called the police. When I told the police I had it on video he said if I wanted to use it as evidence he would have to charge me with wiretapping. We looked it up after and IL required 2 party consent (I'm pretty sure this has changed already in IL).
But if this state required 2 party consent just remove the audio and it looks even better for this kid. Basically you have a middle aged woman assaulting a teenager repeatedly and then trying to hit him with her car at least 2 times.

You can absolutely release the audio in court if the conversation is public and neither party has reason to believe the conversation is "confidential" (capable of being eavesdropped on by other individuals). If you're both in a public place and nobody else is around, that's legally private. If people are around (such as the friends), then it's public. He can release this without issue.

Yes. As far as I know, there's really no law against posting somebody's personally-identifiable information. Doxxing is almost always something handled between private individuals (i.e. a person and a moderator of the website hosting the info). Some jurisdictions might have anti-cyber-bullying laws, but who the hell knows what those cover.
Oh, this is about 100% against this subreddit's sidebar rule #9 (no videos of assault) and about 99% against sidebar rule #2/Reddit's sitewide rule #3 (no personal info). Even if most people don't have access to license plate lookups for Florida, that's definitely personal information, and it's called to the viewer's attention that it's being captured for the purposes of identifying the woman.
Of course, doxxing is one of those things that people only think of as wrong when it's done against somebody they like, so I doubt it'll get taken down on those grounds.

Might be worth taking a look. While 1 party consent is legal federally, you have state a municipality laws as well.
As far as video recording goes, I think you're in the clear. When it comes to audio, it would be best to consult with an attorney.

Apparently the two-party consent law in Illinois has been ruled unconstitutional.
The big issue here with the recordings is whether or not the recording occurs in a place where the people being recorded have an expectation of privacy. So even where states have two-party consent recording requirements, like California, will nonetheless have caveats where you are allowed to record in public with or without other people's consent.

Usually even in a courtroom, 2 party consent laws are a non-issue in public spaces or any space where there is 'no reasonable expectation of privacy'

Here in the Netherlands we have 'portretrecht' which is also usually not a issue in public area's but just to make a point be careful in thinking you can film and publish anything you want, even though it is mostly 100% legal.

In the US, you have every right to film someone without their permission. But if you're planning on profiting you must blur the face

this is incorrect. it varies from state to state, but many (if not most) states require a "reasonable expectation of privacy" for it to be illegal. if you're walking down the street, you dont have an expectation of privacy. if you're on your property, you do. many TV shows blur by default just to be safe.

the rest age group people are not blurred...

It's hard to judge distances, but to me, entering someone's personal space and recording them is harassing/alarming/distressing, which would be an offence where I'm from.
Following someone/moving towards them when they have told you not to and/or have made attempt to walk away would also be H/A/D to me.
Standing outside the personal space and not moving, or maintaining a safe distance from someone approaching you is annoying and a bit dickish but lawful.
33 min-ish, the yellow bridge. That to me is creepy to the point that it could cause a reasonable person to feel intimidated. (27 mins) Dry cleaner one was a bit iffy. (28 min) guy with the chair. (35 mins) retired GI Joe. And of course the people playing dominoes.
theelous3 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 16:42:24 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
What? Where are you from? If you brush by someone on the street is that an offense? Surely not. What if you do it with a gopro on your head? Is it an offense then?
I've never heard of somewhere where being mildly annoying to a stranger is literally criminal.
Someone making you feel intimidated isn't a crime by the way. Those darn hooded youths would all be in lockup if that was the case. Nor is something being "a bit iffy". The dominoes one may well have been trespassing.
I don't think this guy is some hero, or that it's all entirely reasonable, but there are people responding to this such as yourself implying it's criminal activity / the rudest thing ever and I'm playing a bit of devils advocate here. A fair amount of it is pretty borderline, but it's a good video and raises interesting discussion.

UK.
It's not.
No, but that's not what the guy was doing in the video.
You don't think someone coming up to you in public and sticking a camera in your face whilst remaining silent despite your questions isn't at all intimidating?
In most places it absolutely is.
I said some of it was bordering on, as in approaching, not at criminality. Whilst it's not the ruddest thing ever, intentionally invading someone's personal space is extremely rude and a hostile act in the UK.
I agree, it's clear he's trying to imply that people have no issue with CCTV watching them but if a guy with a camera does it then it's 'creepy'.

I'm just across the way here in Ireland. We share a similar enough culture regarding these things and our laws tend to be near identical, so I'm wondering what it is you're referring to when you said
Because simply being in someones personal space, even if you are being weird, is absolutely not a crime here. Being physically or verbally threatening is. There is nothing inherent in the act of recording somebody to suggest malice, or make someone fear for their safety. That is an irrational response (mostly, I'll get on to that.)
There are a few reasons people don't like this being done to them.
There is a weirdo. That in and of its self isn't really an issue. Weirdos are absolutely everywhere. The issue with there being a weirdo is only that their attention is directed towards you. If the guy was filming someone else you probably wouldn't give a shit. A quick "lol weirdo" and you're on your way. However, with how willing people are to confront him (women included) I think it's fairly safe to say they don't fear him in a physical sense.Your actions and words become part of a record.This is the main issue at play here, and the one that spurrs good conversation. It raises the whole (terrible) argument of "if you don't have anything to hide you have nothing to fear" and so on. Why do they care? Well, some people just do. (In response to what you asked, no, I do not care in the slightest. I do not find it intimidating. Not because I have nothing to hide, but because I just don't care.)Vanity.People like to control their image, and they can't control it if some guy just strolls around filming them on an average-no-effort day. This sort of ties in with 2., in that over all it has to do with potential damage to social standing and so on, but really I don't care about the vanity side of things at all and am not willing to discuss it beyond accepting it's a real issue for some.Anyway, yeah. Regarding point number 2, the only legitimate argument I can think of on behalf of all of the subjects here is that the footage of a company's cctv is handled by reasonably known and guessable set of protocols, but you've no idea what the random filming guy's footage will be used for. Because of that his comparison isn't legitimate, but that doesn't mean the experiment as a whole is without value.

Ultimately comes down to whether a reasonable person would be distressed by someone sneaking up and sticking a camera in their face and remaining completely silent when questioned.
I say a reasonable person would be, you say they wouldn't.
Oddly, I take the people's reactions in the video of proof that they are alarmed.
theelous3 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:01:39 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Ultimately you won't answer the question I've asked twice, and are now just being a bit sarcastic and spouting hyperbole. If you've no interest in talking that's fine but don't get lazy and send me tripe like that.
(Side note: I don't think most / any of these people have been confronted by this issue before and are reacting with their gut. Given an outside perspective and time to digest it, like you and I have, they may not be so "alarmed" as you put it. It's unfair to judge it at such face value.)
How2999 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:32:06 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
There is only one question in your previous comment and it was clearly rhetorical... Where have I used hyperbole?
It's not unfair to judge it at face value, an offence occurs at the time. It's irrelevant if with hindsight the victim believes their emotional response would not be the same next time.
When the whole clown scaring shit was going on, the fact the victim learned it was a 'prank' and never in harms way does not change the fact they had been assaulted.
I think you're applying characteristics on to a reasonable person which don't belong there.
theelous3 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 20:38:31 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
No. It was not rhetorical.
My question above stands.
Here:
I'm not following your logic here, if there is any. The main issue of contention is point two above, in which we toss about a discussion of what it means to be recorded. Considering essentially nobody in the video is capable (at the time) of verbalising a cohearent argument with the guy we can inferr this isn't a situation they've given much thought to. Due to that we can't judge how they feel about the issue in a real and rational sense; because all we're left with is the gut-reactions. Allowing other people's gut reactions to taint the discussion from our current perspective isn't useful and lends little-to-no value.
I had to google the clown thing. It is absolutely unrelated in every way. That was masked people being physically and verbally threatening, which is literally assault. We're talking about a not entirely unpleasant guy in what we can presume is normal clothing, with a nice camera, calmly standing around and responding to questions in a relaxed manner. Any relation between the two is entirely fictional and of your own creation.
What characteristics, and who's the reasonable person, and what belongs where? I've no idea what you're saying.

theelous3 ยท -5 points ยท Posted at 15:50:37 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Well, for a start he's not physically touching people, and he's also not pretending to be with the news. If questioned he just says he's taking a video, which is exactly what he's doing. Now and then points out that surveillance is practically omnipresent. Overall it's much more fly on the wall (and he was also the first one to popularise this sort of thing.)
Rude? That's up to the person who's being filmed to decide. Some people take it quite well and whilst they consider it weird they don't seem to think it overtly rude. Some people react awfully. It's not really up to you to decide if it's rude on their behalf even if you consider it rude yourself.
It would be reasonable to say that many people find it rude and disruptive, but a blanket statement isn't useful here.

This is precisely why it's rude to do it at all. It's not about deciding on behalf of the individual, it's about the common courtesy of not doing something that is understood to make many people uncomfortable. And disrupting an entire classroom is patently rude.
I'm not necessarily arguing that he shouldn't have made this video. I get its purpose and why you prefer to the other guy's videos. But I take issue with calling him "where it's at" simply because if I ran into this dude he would annoy the shit out of me.

Because they remember common decency. This kid might be right and he might be polite but there is such a thing as understanding how and when you're the one completely escalating the situation anyway.
Just because you're allowed to do something doesn't mean it's a good idea. Dude could have just slipped his phone in his pocket and walked away but people love to escalate when they feel they're in the right.
Take away someone's reason to be angry and you're done a lot quicker than when you stand there and antagonize them just because you can.

While it's generally legal to film in public places, publishing is a whole other beast.
For anything remotely commercial you need consent, I'm not sure it would hold in court but one could argue that youtube is commercial use.
Also portraying someone in a false maner is illegal, defamation, but I don't think this is relevant for this case.

Authoritarianism.

I definitely agree. I grew up on a cul-de-sac and it was awesome! However my neighborhood has since become a training area for drivers ed school because of the way the residential neighborhood is designed. Now there is so much traffic from perfect strangers driving in to the cup-de-sac that the kids can't even play.

This is what bothered me the whole time. They are playing in a cul de sac. Is this bitch trying to get her weekly stress relieving donut session in, and that's why she's so mad? You shouldn't need to be going more that 5-10 mph in a cul de sac, anyways. Like, chill lady, you'll get out of there in just a second. It's not that serious.

I was a teenager boy and lived in a Cul de Sac. The kids know everyone and their regular visitors. Maybe not by name but by your goofy look. Also they're a bunch of dicks. Harassing a gang of kids that age almost definitely makes you top target for ding and dash, over turned garbage cans, a roof littered with frisbees and old toys, and any other annoyance they find irks you the wrong way. None of it illegal so calling the cops only ends up with the cops hating you because you're why they have to go scold a bunch of teenagers everyday instead of actual work or no work at all depending on county.

Yup, I'm 28 and by 8 years old my mother sat me down and told me all about the rapists out there and told me about what to do if some horrible man or woman tried to do things to me. Then she decided that I needed to learn about (with pictures) every STI, and that I needed to understand the term "fudge packing" for some reason.
She didn't let me cross the street without an adult until we moved in with my aunt in the middle of nowhere Montana when I was 13 and my aunt asked me to walk across the street to grab her mail. My aunt literally didn't believe me when I said I wasn't allowed and had to ask my mom.
My mom figured that kids playing outside could only lead to: 1 - kids not paying attention to where every friend is resulting in me getting snatched, or 2 - we were gathering together solely for drugs or to think up a crime we could commit together. Then she wondered why it took so long for me to make friends and get out of the house..
Fuck the 24 hour news cycle. Makes man hate their fellow man.

Okay and I'm 26, when I was 7 a man called me over to his car and told me my mom sent him to pick me up from the bus stop. He had his full erect penis in his hand and that is my first time seeing a penis.
I feel like its not a bad thing to tell your kids about the actual realities of the world. Had my mom not had that conversation with me, I might have gotten into that car thinking my mom really sent him to come get me. Instead I ran to the fire station (closer than my house) and told an adult I can trust.
Youe mom did take it too far, but I'm not going to pretend kids don't really get snatched off the street when nobody is paying attention because it literally could have happened to me.

I think the real change is that far too many adults nowadays are entitled crybabies that can't handle minor inconveniences in their life.
Since kids are often a cause of minor inconveniences they're often the target for the anger of immature adults. Adults, I might add, who grew up in a world where kids weren't expected to act like miniature adults all the time and were free to play and roam and act like kids.

I grew up in Toronto in the 80s-90s; the Scarborough Rapist/Paul Bernardo era. That seemed to me to be the turning point. Kristen French was grabbed in broad daylight. It put the fear into a lot of parents.
I've spent a few summers in Glasgow and was amazed that little kids - as young as 4 or 5 - regularly roam the streets there in little packs. They haven't had the same fear drilled into them as we did, I suppose.

That's why in Germany we can designate residential areas with a lot of kids as "Spielstraรen" (play streets), with own signs and all. There, you have to drive extra slowly and are hopefully aware that there may be children playing. Of course, you also have to yield to playing children everywhere else, but it gives an extra level of security to children playing in these Spielstraรen.

Canadian living the USA now here. We live in a nice, quiet neighbourhood, on a cul-de-sac, within a few houses of an elementary school. Idyllic really. The perfect street for children to grow up on.
My neighbours have literally called the police on my children (9 and 7) for riding their bikes on the street without my wife or I being present. Boggled my mind. The police were cool, mostly embarrassed they had to check it out, and completely fine with what was going on. It's a real "phenomenon" here -- that the world isn't safe, kids shouldn't be anywhere but backyards.
We figured we'll just TP everyone's house at hallowe'en to get them back -- we're equally opportunity TP'ers, eh.

I'm in my twenties, American. I really don't like kids playing in the street. They don't look where they're going, my neighbors go way too fast to make it safe, and the younger ones like to dart in front of cars and laugh about it when you slam on your breaks. They leave their bikes in the middle of our street (no joke, it was evenly placed on the divide), balls scattered everywhere, and god forbid you tell little Timonthy to please keep his bike out of the road.
We have tons of yard space on each property and a park next door, so it's not like it's the street or nowhere.

There's even signs around saying "slow, kids at play". I grew up in a residential area (2000s) and we played in the street all the time and it was pretty accepted. Rules were simple. Just play and keep an eye out for cars. When one comes by someone shouts "car!" And we clear the street to let them pass. No problem really so long as the kids aren't being dickheads and the driver isn't speeding or distracted.

I grew up playing in the street, those same games, but when a car came, we understood to give way. The game went on pause and we let the car pass before resuming.
Especially in hockey there is an unspoken code between the players and the driver. The driver sees the players, and stops. The players see the car and yell, "CAR!", move the nets, step to the side, and the car passes. The nets are replaced and some one yells, "Game on!" and all is good in the world.
We obviously don't know what actually started this, but it sounded like the kids were not moving out of the road, and respecting that code.

They're in a cul-de-sac too. cul-de-sac I grew up on was a basketball court, bicycle proving ground, skate park, roller hockey rink, wiffle ball diamond, tennis court, fireworks display zone, rendezvous point for all briefings and rule setting before we played Guns.. it was our area to do what we wanted. Sure when a car came up the court we'd suspend activity and move, but if you didn't live on our court and you kept driving up and down the court in the middle of us jumping our bikes off the curb we'd eventually ask you if you were lost or something. Basically "get the fuck off our court, we're busy here".

Some shirts on a summer day to make goalposts and play football.
Or use 2 trees on opposite sides of the road as goals.
I spend hours doing that every day in the holidays and evenings after school.

Growing up in the mid-80's in a city with a high crime rate. My parents wouldn't allow us to be anywhere near a park or recreational center, because that is where the gangs and drug dealers do all their deals and recruiting. So, my siblings and I would play on the streets where my parents can keep an eye on us at all times.
Yes, we almost get hit by cars on the daily. But my mom would rather have us get run over by a car than be affiliate in a gang.

As a kid one day playing street hockey with my friends one of the ladies from my neighborhood drove by and started bitching us out for playing in the street and how she was going to call my parents and the police and get us removed from the street so i quickly went and got my dad and oh lord, i dont think ive ever seen my dad go in so hard on cursing someone out before.

I'm a Canadian and I don't understand why it's acceptable. Roads are built for transportation. There are parks and playgrounds for kids. Some kids near me routinely play basketball and hockey in the street 40 ft away from a paved and fenced playground. Makes no sense.
Maybe it's because I grew up on a road with an 80 kph limit and my parents taught us to stay out of the way of cars if we want to live.
Of course now all the people that moved into that area with new children petitioned the city to lower the limit because they seem to have a hard time teaching their kids to stay out of the way of cars.

I'm 32 and live in a neighborhood where there are usually kids running around in the street during the summer. When that happens I calmly stop and wait for them to notice a car needs to pass. Eventually they clear the way and I slowly drive through. It literally adds no more then 90 seconds to my drive. There are more important things in life to get THAT pissed about.

It's because when we were kids the people on the roads didn't have cell phones and all kinds of shit to distract them. I think we just stopped trusting each other.
I live on a street that looks like a dog bone (cul de sacs on both ends) with the entrance to the street right in the middle of the cul de sacs so that should be super safe right? We still don't let our kids play outside of the yard just because you never know when someone's going to glance down or away at the wrong time.

I was a kid in the early 2000s. We were told stay off the roads but they were semibusy and we had sidewalks and frontyards. I'm guessing theres not as much traffic in most of Canada and people are more lax, cause there is gangs and child molesters. I was almost molested a few times by creepers in the neighborhood. Glad I grew out of it and became unappealing.

I understand where this comes from but can you seriously say many? Have you done a study across the world or America to find out if kids really are little assholes now or if it's just the way we are preceiving them. Maybe it's because of where I live but kids still move out of the way of cars here. I've never once seen kids be little shits as you describe. Fuck even in this video the kid appologizes to her and she's the one who goes off. If we have issues with kids now a days, it's because they're not being taught their fucking manners and that's on the parents.

Agreed, but it is also a curteousy to move out of the way when the cars approach. When I was growing up, that meant stopping street hockey or whatever we were playing to move the equipment and allow the driver to pass. I have a feeling this kids were "hoverboarding" in the road with no courtesy for drivers. There are loads of kids like that.

whitemeatlover ยท 28 points ยท Posted at 15:47:30 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
It's genetic where the fat is stored probably. She is obviously an apple shape (big boobs, stomach, but no ass or hips). I'm a pear shape, so when I gain weight, it goes to my hips, butt and thighs and not my breasts. She may drink alot and have a beer gut; who knows. But I knew a girl in middle school who already had like double D boobs, but her legs were super skinny like the woman's in the video. It always looks off.
Runner303 ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 19:11:03 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
And women with the apple shape tend to have higher testosterone (I think that actually is what drives the shape) which may partially explain the behavior observed in the OP.
WAR_T0RN1226 ยท 12 points ยท Posted at 16:40:01 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Like other people said, this is a result of fairly common, and unfortunate, genetics combined with poor diet and exercise.
It's commonly referred to an apple-shaped body, in which hips are narrow and the midsection and shoulders are wider. When women with this body type are heavy, the fat gets stored heavily in their stomach in a outward gut shape and big boobs. Meanwhile, their thighs may be disproportionately skinny, while their hips are very narrow with no ass.

All my life my legs have been super skinny - when I was a kid they called me bird legs. Even when I've been to a personal trainer I've been told that I'd have a really hard time getting my calf muscles big because of how I'm assembled (something about where the tendons insert). My mom and sister are the exact same. Just a normal genetic variant.

If he actually wanted to defuse the situation he really should have stopped talking at the beginning when she was about to leave instead of trying to getting the last word in.
Just because he was in the right and had good arguments doesn't mean he couldn't have handled that shit better.

Neither parties are in the right, but there are two levels of severity here that makes it easier for people to take a side.

For me, it really doesn't matter what the kids did because as an adult she should have never gotten into this argument. If they flipped her off, she should have ignored it and kept going. Arguing with a 14 year old about someone flipping her off is not something an adult should do. It's just so silly.
Jumanji_JR ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 15:53:51 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah, I think a lot of it had to do with the kid knowing that he was right, and refusing to back down. Real maturity comes with not having to get the last word in, and the kid clearly wanted to get the last word in. I think it was only fear/annoyance at the filming that drove the lady away.
talkstocats ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 17:06:23 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I think the point wasn't that he's acting perfectly, but that he's giving a much better response than a lot of people would. Certainly most 14 year olds.

You're judging the kid as an adult though. For a 14 year old with his friends standing around, he did pretty good. Judge the woman as if she's a 30 year old adult, because she is, judge the kid differently, as if he's a 14 year old, because he is. Different standards
Pippinpaddleopsico ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 21:36:04 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Exactly the kid acted very mature for a 14 YEAR OLD. Of course he baited her who wouldn't, why does he need to be the one to act like an adult and walk away. When he is arguing with an actual adult. People just expect kids to be submissive cause their younger but then also expect them to act like adults.

Man, when I was 14, I would be doing the exact same thing. You know she can't punch you, cause she's on video. You know she is making herself look like an ass, cause she's on video. What's the worst that can happen? This little dude's adrenaline was probably at 1000, and it was the most fun those kids probably had all week. She fell into their trap, and they got a good laugh, and a viral video. What more could a 14 year old with a camera ask for?

I agree. I watched it and thought he probably should have stopped talking a lot sooner. While he didn't really do anything wrong, it probably could have ended sooner. She certainly wasn't right in how she was acting. Any rational adult shouldn't let a random kid on the street get them that worked up, especially one pointing a camera at you. But it could have probably been a non issue if she had driven away the first time, and if he hadn't yelled at her car as it was driving away. And I know I said any rational adult, and clearly she wasn't rational, so I get it. But it's a kid. Why does this lady care so much? And it's embarrassing to get into an argument with a kid. She's a sensitive person, it seems.

I think that we need a better descriptor than childish. I have been thinking about it a lot lately given the nature of the president. I work with kids of all different ages and while they can sometimes be overly emotional they are more often a much better version of people. They are kind, compassionate, they have a better moral compass, they share, they support others, they are honest, and they are hard working.
I need to come up with a more sophisticated version of brat.

I had some rage yesterday when seeing spiderman. The theater lets you pick your seats as they have fancy chairs. This old cunt comes into the movie late with 2 grandkids. Then proceeds to act like my seats are hers. I tell her no we picked these. She then goes to the row in front of me and forces 4 senior citizens to move all the way to the front. It was hard for me to not rage and if the movie wasn't already started I would have said something. But this dumb cunt literally got to come to a movie late then get prime seating because she made people move. I remember when picking my seat the back of the theater didn't have any 3 seats open. This dumb bitch picked seats at the front but thought she was picking seats in the back and forced old people to move just because fuck them.

I am not disputing that. I am agreeing with the parent comment in that this video is annoying because everyone is annoying. The kid behaved more rational than most, but was still annoying, which made the video unpleasant to watch even with my justice boner.

I think people are saying that when you're 14, you're kind of annoying regardless. Its part of growing up and figuring out where you belong, you act out, say brash things and such. But eventually people are expected to grow out of that. Like I said, the kid is being a kid and the people here that act like thats wrong sound like they would get along with this woman more than they think

I guess people indiscriminately use it to mean 'woman' in the US now, even though every one of its definitions carries some connotation of superiority, refinement or gentility (except when it's used to refer to a wife, girlfriend or mistress). I'm not quite sure what's wrong with calling a woman a woman, and a woman with good manners and higher social status a lady. But people gonna people, I suppose.

Supposing that to be true... this is still Reddit, right, so formality sort of goes out the window, no? I never hear people call men 'gentlemen' or 'lords'.

All of these answers from people that really don't understand what we find odd about the kid's behaviour really highlights how many people are confrontational and don't even consider just dropping the argument.

100% agree. Also there is a huge circlejerk around this video too and people having a justice boner for the kid and wanting to hate on the evil woman. I also get the feeling that these arguments are more common in the United States where people love to recite 'muh rights' to people and think they can't be in the wrong because of that. Just because you're not doing anything against the law doesn't mean you are morally superior and should act like a confrontational cunt to people. More and more of these videos exist. The fact that they get a reception like this on social media is only a bad thing, because people will actually go looking for confrontations and film it on their phone, just so they can have a viral video. The whole morality/ethical stanpoint in the every day situation is thrown out of the window and left for people on social media to discuss basically.

LOL What? She was being a shithead and he said "have a nice day"... so she came back and escalated. Why people are so fucking afraid of confrontation, I have no idea... but that's why cunts like her act the way they do.. because everyone around gets all fucking squeamish when someone puts someone else in their place publicly.
Had this cunt backed up at a cop like that, even just to mouth of to him, she'd be laying in a pool of her own blood surrounded by "POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS" tape so fucking fast your head would spin - but you're on his shit for fucking having the AUDACITY to demand an adult not reply to his attempt at deescalation with "fuck you"? That reeks of pushoverism and cowardice and is 100% the reason bitches like her act the way they do.
It has nothing to do with "justice boner" or "social media" and everything to do with enforcing the social contract of "act like an asshole get treated like an asshole". How many charges at him with closed fist must the kid take before he's allowed to actually feel threatened? You think a cop would have stood for half of those? Fuck off.

Lmao you're so angry. You're the kind of person like these two people in this video, who won't let go of stupid shit and argue it out purely out of principle. Try to focus on more important things in life instead of getting riled up over trivial situations like this. This is not the type of situation where it is necessary to stand up for yourself, because it has nothing to do with your personal situation or reaching personal goals. And besides that, how do you not see that him filming this whole thing had something to do with the way he reacted? He clearly had a goal with this as soon as he was recording it which was completely unnecessary. It's fine to stand up for yourself and yes it is needed in certain situations, but he had a motive that had nothing to do with that. I don't know why I'm even arguing this, because I wasn't even implying that the kid should necessarily have let it go. I'm only saying that he isn't the saint in this situation and that he is not morally right, as much as the woman isn't. They're both cunts. It's weird that you try to make it about "pushoverism" and "cowardice" or "being afraid of confrontation", but you must have some deep seeded issues about these things.

I don't understand. He kept talking so this grown woman just HAD to keep arguing and and try to hit him with her car. Just seems like she's so petty and childish that even a 14 yr old is more mature than her. She should realize that she can't treat this kid like another adult, and back off immediately.

One of them is fourteen years old, though. It is not his fucking job to diffuse the tension of a situation, nor is it his job to police his own language and intonation so as to not escalate a situation further. He's a fucking child, speaking to an adult. His maturity is irrelevant.
What is your point, if not to defend the "retarded woman"? I read your other comment, the one whining about confrontations in the media. You don't seem to actually be interested in conversation, and you want to blame a fourteen year old child equally for someone attempting to run him over, as the adult woman who was driving the car... so... I'm not sure what you actually want.

My interpretation is that the lady only came multiple times at him only because she was dumb enough to want to have the last word against the kid.
If he had just recognized she was an idiot and repeating 15 times his basic knowledged about the law was useless, the situation would have never escalated.
Also walking towards someone isn't "charging"...

I don't know; I wouldn't have acted like that at 14 and I'd hope my kid wouldn't. I don't know what happened, but if I did defend a friend out of solidarity for flipping off someone who needed us to move out of the street, I wouldn't expect anyone else to think I was in the right.
I think people's expectations of kids are just too low. That other kid literally spit on her car. That's completely inappropriate no matter what age you are. I don't care if you're six. For all we know the kid's friend flipped her off just because she was trying to drive by with them playing in the street. And then this kid goads and baits her.

You say you wouldn't have acted like that, but I feel like most of us acted shitty in some way or another as a kid/teen, maybe we just don't remember it like that because we thought we were in the right at the time. Kids can't really be expected to act rationally until they gain some life experiences, so under the circumstances I feel he behaved appropriately and her behavior was just unbelievable. Also, he didn't seem to be defending his friend at all, only himself.

I think it's a pretty decent one.
People are claiming this kid is "mature". He is only mature because the lady is that much more immature than him. If we didn't have the lady as a comparison no body would be lauding this kid as mature.
In comparison to Hitler Mussolini isn't considered that bad. Benito helped save some people from the clutches of Nazi Germany and he didn't murder nearly as many. He was the accomplice not the main murderer. However if you look at Benito all by himself you'd be like 'man that guy is awful!'. Nobody would laud him as being a nice guy.
TLDR: it's a good fucking analogy ya asshole.

His behaviour was definitely due to the adrenaline and stress response though.
He was not trying to escalate it. He was genuinely threatened. It was more likely an auto-pilot response, and he did pretty damn good staying as articulate as he did (even as he stumbled over words).
But I also believe she's not entirely in the wrong.
Her behaviour and attitude was not conducive to resolving the situation, but if the kids really were hanging out in the street and not moving, then something probably should have been said.
If the two attitudes were reversed, the thread would be full up of people supporting her, and people saying, "I would have gotten out of my car and put my foot down. I don't care, I would have whooped his ass if he was blocking my car and threatening me."
The context of the attitude is extremely important, obviously, but I think (depending on what the instigation actually was) she probably had a reason to confront them to begin with, and I think giving her attitude, he had a reason to be in a sort of stress mode, and squawking away.

What do you do when youre talking to someone from their car? You walk up to the window. The lady's mistake was to still talk to the kid while she was in her car. Not to mention that she got baited and out witted by a 14 year old.
They both could have eneded the argument at anytime if either one of them decided to just walk away. But she had a bigger reason to walk away because she lost the argument.

I mean, you're 14 and what's more likely:
If a crazy bitch tried to BACK HER CAR into me, I'd feel pretty threatened as a 14 year old, especially since she was threatening to "beat him, because his parents don't" at one point in the video. Given how large this whale of a woman is, I'd say it's pretty unlikely the 14 year old can safely assume he'd win in a fight with her. Compound the fact that she's also trying to run him over with her car, I'd say it's pretty threatening.

She slightly cut the wheel to turn towards him. That's what changed it from a stupid argument to potential assault. Now I'm not saying she'd be convicted, but she was certainly trying to scare him and threaten to find out where he lives. She's an adult, she threatened him, he felt threatened. Shame on an adult for even engaging with teenagers in an argument.

LOL He's just smarter than you give him credit for.
"I feel threatened" is the non-cop, non-asshole version of "stop resisting". He's setting himself up to be legally protected from culpability if two things happen:
(a) She acts dumber than seen and actually assaults him - now he's got it on video that multiple times he felt threatened by her and told her to stop and she continued.
(b) He freaks out at something she does and beats her ass - now he's got it on video that he was in fear of harm and responded in self-defense.
He isn't being the victim, he's practicing CYA.

There is a right way and a wrong way to confront others. You should confront others in the right situations, and you should do so in the right way. You should confront people when they're doing something socially unacceptable (maybe without realizing it), but "get the fuck out of the doorway" isn't the right way to do it. Saying just "Out of the way" or "please move people you're blocking the door" is the way to correct them without also insulting them and instigating an argument.

Yup and the kid also could have ended it himself given how cool and know it all he seems, but he kept egging on what seems like a pretty stupid individual. So its like noone is good there, kids spitting on her car, and she is also a woman which is pretty nice mixture to the whole thing. A dude would have handled it differently - being same stupid and angry. Probably would have taken the kids phone and ran over it or smth but here shy gyrates from wanting to be the victing to a total badass to the one who couldnt care less. its disturbing.

Right, the lady was wrong because she kept going after the kid in her rage, and the kid just kept running his fucking mouth and egging her on. Lady should have just called the non-emergency police line if she thought the kids were in the street and being a problem. I just don't get the whole "let's verbally assault people!! They will surely think I am a rational person and understand their errors!"

I feel like they were just instigating each other. The kid has some more leeway given he's 14, he makes valid points, but where are either of them accomplishing by screaming at each other? Plus we don't know what happened before the video. I mean a group of teenagers, they probably were in the street and for all we know she could have been driving down the road and the kids were doing that bullshit thing when they see you coming but still walk purposefully slow to piss you off...
They really should have just said fuck off, or flipped the bird and moved on with their lives.

I'm going to assume you've never worked retail.
The movie not being in stock is a reason to talk to a manager. There not being a discount is reason to talk to a manager. Not being offered help they never asked for is reason to talk to a manager.
Crazy people will find any reason that they're a victim and should be compensated. Don't you know the customer is always right?
I had someone lecture me, take down my name, and tell me they'd take me up with upper management just yesterday, after I had managed to locate and have order in, at no charge to them, an item they wanted, which we didn't have in the store at the moment. I still have no idea what they were upset about, because I was as nice as ever and the entire exchange went fine, but they still felt the need to threaten me for something.

Based off of her incredibly fragile ego, and repeatedly demanding respect from a random teenager, I have to assume that she has never known unconditional love, from anyone, especially her parents. She will also never be capable of giving unconditional love, and the cycle will perpetuate.
She is 100% wrong here. But she will likely never know or understand why. And she probably has children, who believe that it is normal and acceptable for their mother to scream and cuss at them, just for being kids, and acting like kids. They in turn, learn, "This is how you treat children", and the cycle will never, ever end. What an enormous tragedy of mankind.

She probably doesn't think so. This is an attitude she'll take on with any person that gives her lip, it's just more pathetic that she's doing it to a stranger that's a kid. She likely has kids of her own. This is the south's equivalent of the party hard girl that "knows how to have a good time" of the chunky variety.
I'm surprised that other people are finding this as a rarity as far as her demeanor. I can list several dozen people I've known or currently know that behave in this exact manner. You can see it in complete strangers when you're around it long enough, which is pretty much anyone that's been through high school here or subjected to the existence of such trash...

I'm not saying they don't think they have won or were right, but public perception. She is tone deaf to the world around her. The reality is people like this don't go on to do anything with with their lives because they burn bridges and do high risk things without thinking.
You can be an asshole an win in life. Jordan Belfort is the the perfect example of this. The difference between the two is Jordan is a cunning , smart, funny, presents himself well, and thinks before he talks. Jordan has redeeming qualities.
This woman isn't very attractive, doesn't present well, talks harshly to strangers before she has a real read on them, does shit out of anger, and despite her age has less of an understand of the law then a 14yo kid that coupled with the tattoos (tattoos aren't a bad thing, but they can help you read a person) in this case they say white trash.
If you want to be an asshole in life and get away with it you have to have redeeming qualities to outweigh the bad ones. The reason Zack Braff got away with the same thing is he is a funny, smart, well read guy. That buys you a lot of rope in life.
EDIT: ok, the reason nobody bought the Do5 bullshit when they dressed up nice for camera with the cosby sweater is because we have seen their videos, we know how they really dress, how they really act. You don't build an outward perception of yourself by picking you at your best it's done in the day to day. if day to day you wear jeans and a tshirt, but once in a blue moon you scrub up and put on a suit it won't change how most of the world sees you

They sometimes make it very difficult. There's a teenager who hangs around a place I frequent a lot who loves to make demeaning comments about everyone.
The other teens just banter back, which frankly seems like a stupid way to spend your time. Vying for who can put down their friends the most.
But if you ignore him he seems to think it's weakness and he'll just hover around doing it non stop like a buzzing mosquito. It's hard to resist tearing the little shit a new one even it is just to get him to shut up for the amount of time it takes you tell him off.
But yeah, when you do that you're the grown up shitting on a kid.

That's the opposite of possitive. It shows that if her life wasn't as sad, pathetic and unfulfilled, she might've been a very contributing member of society.

Everyone's acting like she's Hitler. The rest of the kids sounded like they were little shits, we didn't see the what happened before the video. The kid sounded condescending when he said you can have a good day mam she probably didn't even acknowledge the sorry part until after she said fuck off. She's definitely a bitch, but I don't think she'd actually try to reverse into the kid.

how is that a positive? isn't that really sad? it amazes me how easily people seem to disassociate themselves with the flaw of others. maybe she didn't have a quality education or good parental guidance growing up? maybe she had some other stressor/trigger that caused her to lash out?
I'm not saying anything she did was right. I'm just saying if you took the time to pause and think about this woman's life (which most people don't do b/c hey it's the internet and that's fine), how can't you at least be more understanding instead of more judgmental?

As someone that was nearly beaten to death by my dad I can tell you all that stuff is just a weak "it was done to me so i'm going to do it back to the world" excuse. That behavior isn't exceptable towards anyone, let alone a 14yo kid.
I'm not without sin. There was a good 3 years where i was an asshole, but I was 21-24 when I took my pain out on other people. While that is legally an adult you are really still haven't becoming your own person at that age.
You know what I realized at 25? nobody likes people like this, nobody goes to bat for you when you need it and as much as I used to say I didn't care what people thought of me the simple fact is everyone wants people to like them.
So rather the poke outward when I thought someone wasn't listening to me I made a better effort to listen to that persons...turns out if you actually take an interest in someone life in most cases those people will make a bigger effort with you.
She looks at least late 30's more than likely in her 40's. At what point do you have to stop blaming others and take ownership of your own life? At some point you have to grow up and be an adult. So no i'm not going to give her the benefit out the doubt because her character tells me she isn't going to change and i'm only willing to meet people half way

That doesn't mean that if they're in the road they can be run over, it just means they have to give way. For all we know, she sped into the area and the kids didn't have time to do so. That law is more of a guideline for traffic flow, if a person is crossing, you still need to stop. It's possible they could get fined for improper movement, but safety is above any rule of right of way.
Kluuvdar ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 15:23:53 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
No, of course it doesn't give the driver licence to commit murder, but if the original incident, in the way in which it was described in the video, was recorded and presented in a court setting, then I'm confident they would rule in favor of the driver. Drivers have right of way outside of crosswalks. It's up to the driver whether or not they want to exercise that right and potentially spend the next fifteen to thirty in prison with a second or first degree felony, at least in Florida.
Rhaedas ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:30:58 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I don't know how a court presentation would go. One would assume that if it got to that level, some damages were incurred, either to her car, to herself, or to one of the kids. While the beginning of the whole thing would be important, I think charges would be based on the actions that caused the reason for the law suit, and not just because some kids were in the road when she came by.
Kluuvdar ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 16:08:21 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Right, a hypothetical setting in which the court would determine who, in fact, had right of way. Her car was damaged, but probably from another incident involving her exemplary driving.

I don't think drives exercise the right to kill or not kill a pedestrian based on a jaywalking rule... it is a neighborhood too. I don't think you paint such a broad brush with laws in a residential neighborhood. Kids are in the streets all the time, are you gonna call the cops to give them a citation?
Kluuvdar ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 16:10:42 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I don't believe that the cited law on right of way states that pedestrians aren't allowed to be in the street, just that they must yield right of way to cars, if the pedestrians are not in a crosswalk.

Im not that stubborn haha. Citing that law just seems pointless when it was a group of kids playing in a neighborhood street.
Obviously that lady has a weird interpretation of that law if shes screaming that she doesn't have to yield to them... well they aren't crossing the street... they are literally hanging out in the street. And they are children.

The cheerleader effect doesn't have someone who gets the short end of the stick and looks uglier. Everyone gets an upgrade of attractiveness from being in the group, which the lady in the video does not.
Since she doesn't look smarter by interacting with the kid, and instead only makes the kid look like a scholar (your words, so unless you're saying the woman looks smarter because she's arguing with a 14 year old, I'm not being pedantic) it's closer to the ugly friend effect, which is making only one person/group look better because another is uglier/stupider, with no benefit to the latter.

Compare his maturity to that of his peers in the same exact video. Saying, "Oh, god, if you were a guy..." (insinuating that if the lady were a male he'd hit her) and also spitting on her car. Not that I necessarily disagree with him doing the latter, but the kid filming is clearly way more mature than the rest of his friends.

In her defense, in her day and age that was a thing. Back in the ole "Takes a community to raise a kid" days. Adults who weren't teachers couldn't beat you, but if you didn't show respect to your elders they'd just tell your parents, and your parents would take their side regardless and punish you accordingly. Not saying it's right, or not annoying, but I can see why she still believes she should have authority based on seniority.

Oh, for sure. I'm 31, so all of my aunts and uncles are around that age you mentioned. A couple of my mom's sisters still cling to that despite my sisters and me being well into adulthood. It's pretty sad.
They show us no respect and are quick to tell us how rude their own grandparents, uncles, and aunts were to them (I guess my great grandma was notorious for not giving children the time of day or even looking them in the eye). I tell them that if my grandmother treated me like that, I wouldn't talk to her. "You wouldn't talk to your own grandmother?". "Not if she acted like a bitch". Then they get all angry.

"Do you have any yard to play in, do you have to play in the street?"
"Yes, street rulez son."
Also I can side with the kids simply because of the way she acted. She didn't give any actual reasoning for about the first 5 minutes but she does eventually say, "Every time you play in front of my yard you end up in my yard". They're playing soccer so I have no doubt she's right that every time they play it, since they're aiming for the net, when they miss it ends up in her yard and they have to go get it. And while you might think it's childish to not want kids on your lawn some people like others to respect their property and stay off of it.
That being said, she didn't say why they couldn't play in front of her house for a while and just pulled the bullshit "I'm your elder" card. I bet if she had nicely explained it like a cute little old grandmother they would've been fine.

Dude. Your front yard isn't some fortress of solitude. If someone drops a ball they can pick it up. Front yards usually aren't fenced off. If it got kicked into backyard then ya go ask before going into someone's backyard because it's fenced off with a gate.

Even if that's the case, so fucking what? Are they damaging her yard by walking on it occasionally -- y'know, the activity its made for -- to retrieve their ball?
Our neighbor's kids end up playing in our yard half the time they're outside. Again, so what? They're not damaging anything, they're not causing any disturbance. Who cares, let em have their fun.
Just because this old coot is frustrated about her hideous unfuckable mombod doesn't mean she can take it out on some innocent kids just trying to play. She's not a neighbor, she's just some old bitch that happens to live across the street.

Some people care about their lawns like how some people care about their cars. Just because you don't care about yours and would lean on your own car doesn't mean I'm okay with you leaning on mine. Do I think you'll scratch the paint? Probably not, but you might and I don't want to have to fix it if you do. The kids probably aren't hurting the lawn at all but kids being kids they could I don't know, trip and pull part of it up? Also from the sounds of it she said, "You're making that dog go nuts" and a kid says, "Yeah, your dog" so yes, they very well could be causing a disturbance. The dog knows it's property and probably barks at the kids every time they're on the lawn which would be super annoying.
I'm not defending her behavior by any means.

Okay, that's actually a good point, with the caveat that grass is meant to be walked on. Auto body panels are not meant to be leaned on (unless it's a gritty work truck or something) and it will definitely scratch the clear coat.
Edit: also, you can see her yard is patchy and full of leaves 'n shit. Pretty sure this is a case of "bitchy old hag," and not, "I care tirelessly about my lawn."

This lady definitely handled the situation poorly. Those kids are absolutely within their rights to play in the street, or on the sidewalk in front of her house.
However, if they step a foot off of "city property" onto "her property", and end up tripping over an exposed tree root on her front lawn and breaking their arm, she would be liable.
IANAL, and she could likely argue that the kids were "trespassing", so she is not responsible for any medical bills, however, their attorney could argue that kids entering her front yard was a "foreseeable event", and she failed to remove a hazard (exposed tree root that caused the kid to trip and break his arm).
In a situation like that, if you have no homeowners insurance and can't afford to pay a landscaper to fix the exposed root issue, you'd likely find yourself properly f**ked.

Does that actually stand up? Makes no sense to me, especially when trespassing.
Though it can be argued that she tried to prevent the 'foreseeable event' in this video, right?

See I figured she didn't want them missing the goal and hitting her house / window. That actually would make sense to me- and deadass if the kids hit the soccer ball close to my window I would politely ask them to move it- but I'd explain why. A broken window costs money and is overall a huge pain in the ass nobody wants to deal with. It's an urgent matter. But no- she did not have the iq to explain herself or somehow bullshit the situation. Huge fail

From the sounds of it she said she's fixing a part of the lawn which I'm assuming means she has recently planted fresh grass. If that's the case then stopping people running on it can help the grass grow nicer. Still, she could have simply explained that to the kids and asked them to walk around the grass as much as possible instead of straight across it.

Yeah, it's not the kids occasionally running into her yard to get a ball that she doesn't like, it's the hours of nonstop screaming and revelry that will accompany the kids' playing. Some people just like their peace and quiet. She should really move to a "retirement community" if that's the way she wants to live, not a neighborhood that's obviously chock full of children.

Yes, she did. She committed assault with a deadly weapon. If the kid showed this video to a cop in his town and requested to press charges they wouldn't hesitate to go arrest her for disorderly conduct and would probably give serious consideration to assault charges. She also would likely be ticketed for running the stopsign and having a taillight out if the light was still not operational when they came to arrest her. Laws don't stop having value because you broke them last week.

Source: former felony trial attorney.
None of what you said is right. And you may have violated ethical standards by giving what is very close to legal advice while representing yourself as someone qualified to do so.
First of all, assault varies in the different states, but the English common law basis for assault is established well enough that every state I know of includes "putting someone in reasonable apprehension of physical harm" as a kind of assault. This kind of assault is typically a misdemeanor, but almost every state also has a law that states that any assault against a minor under 15 (or thereabouts depending on the state) is a felony. Mine certainly does.
Even if the kid wasn't a minor, backing up a vehicle in a manner that is intended to put someone in reasonable apprehension of physical injury can absolutely be assault with a deadly weapon, and depending on the state can be prison mandatory. I have represented at least one client in a case where the person accelerated aggressively at someone else and was charged with dangerous nature prison mandatory assault with a deadly weapon (a vehicle is almost always a deadly weapon).
Secondly, there is nothing even slightly barring a DA from pursuing this case. All they have to do is put out a warrant, which they can do with the license plate and general description. No detectives, no significant resources wasted.
Thirdly, there is no point where the city gets involved in this. First of all, this is a felony, so it is tried in state court. Misdemeanors are still violations of State law. Cities, on the other hand, are only responsible for traffic citations. There are very few instances where cities have the legal and constitutional authority to create misdemeanors and they are typically in the field of commercial regulation (e.g., if you fuck up the wiring on your restaurant, you can be charged with a violation of city incorporated coding standards that becomes a misdemeanor because a State law says you can't violate coding). City police departments are paid in part by the city (but also substantially through state and federal grant funding); they are not beholden to the city, they have the authority to enforce state law alongside county and city regulations. Once a misdemeanor is charged it can either go through a city or county court depending on the states constitution.
Fourthly, disturbing the peace is not what you think it is. Disturbing the peace is typically defined as "conduct where one reckless disturbs the peace of another," it is intentionally very vague and frequently operates as a catch-all crime with 'add-ons' that mean it can be charged as a felony. The key distinction in this case is that the lady here did intend to cause the minor to reasonably apprehend a physical injury (even before she backed-up at him she approached him with her fists displayed and said "I'm going to kick your ass," this is textbook reasonable apprehension).
Finally, and most important. DON'T make representations about what the law is. It is grossly inappropriate and your State Bar association could (and has) very rightly denied people a licence to practice law based on it. You should know that you aren't qualified to make legal representations, you know what a "Pre-Law Degree" is. Law students can't make legal representations, law graduates can't make legal representations. Only licensed lawyers can make legal representations. You are avoiding that very closely by talking about the law in general (as am I, because I no longer practice) but you are getting dangerously close to that line and being very wrong while doing so. The reason it is a big deal for you is that you are saying what the law is. You can't do that. You haven't even remotely been trained in Florida State Law, not even Law Schools train on the actual practice of any State law. In the future, you need to a) couch your fucking terms to reflect your acknowledge. Don't say "No. Assault requires..." say 'this may not be the case, the law typically requires... but I don't know because I'm not legally trained." b) not ever ever ever represent a Pre-Law Degree as a source on anything legal. It's like saying completing a high school shop class qualifies you to be an engineer.
I said a lot of stupid shit about what the law is when I was in law school, it's inevitable. Everyone who does it feels like they suddenly have joined some private club and get all these rights and responsibilities, and I got the same STFU from a lawyer for doing it. You could fuck your future up, not to mention spreading some serious ignorance about the law--don't forget that idiots refer to Reddit as if it is a real source, I've had actual clients tell me they didn't do anything wrong because the internet said so. People can actually get in trouble for thinking that this kind of behavior is not an assault.

That's a super good point in the beginning. Ever since I became licensed in my field(currently a PharmD student, so, licensed intern) I have become very cautious when giving any sort of medical advice, especially within the context of medication effects, interactions, etc. If anything, being a a subject matter expert should lead you to be even more judicious in citing sources as you can be held accountable for disseminating incorrect information or advice.
So, thanks for pointing that out. And this dude(above you) is just in a pre-law program, so he's just taking classes that are useful for getting into law school, taking the LSAT, etc. He's definitely not the expert he thinks he is.

Dude, you're not a lawyer. You're delusional. Pre-law means you have like, a degree in English or Philosophy and are planning to take the LSAT so you can get into a law school. You have no legal education. You're not a cop. Your interpretation of the law is based upon no respected foundation of education or reason and is dramatically different from the established interpretations US judges have set with precedent. You're just an asshole on the internet with a big mouth, probably the same kind of person who yells at 14 year old kids for playing in the street, commits assault with a deadly weapon against them, and then tries to act like it's not a crime worth acknowledging. Stay off my streets, because I'd definitely press charges and have you jailed for threatening our neighborhood kids.

I'm pushing 30. Not only do I have more than one degree, but I don't need to whip them out and get in a dick measuring contest with a fake lawyer on the internet. Quit spouting incorrect legal advice you aren't qualified to give. Impersonating a lawyer is a crime, giving legal advice and misrepresenting yourself when you aren't qualified to do so is a crime. You're not quite there in this thread, but you're close enough that a reasonable person would infer you do in other situations in your life. Stop now, before you do so and get yourself and other people in trouble. You have a degree in knocking on doors, kissing babies, and reading polls. Since you won't be getting into law school if this is how you behave, your most likely professional outcome is a job with the federal government. They don't like to employ people with criminal records.

Also, if youโre going to go to law school, get used to citing actual sources of facts, not somebodyโs degree/title. Even judges do this, and theyโre freaking judges.

Haha, it's true.
The other day a bunch of us were legally skateboard down a side road that runs parallel to two main roads, and a car driver got pissed at us for legal stopping at a stop sign (like for real, we use stop signs to let the slower riders catch up)
Dude in a car with his lady starts yelling at us. So we say sorry and step out of the way (most of us going onto the sidewalk) , but dude kept yelling at us.
Older longboarder with us says to him in a super calm voice, "Listen man, we are more that 20 of us in fit shape (lifts up his longboard), all with weapons. Is this really a fight you think you can win?"
Car driver just paused, then drove his car past us at top speed.
We all laughed and gave high fives to our friend, lol

Ok they may have been on hover board. However you could see that they were in a residential area, where kids could be playing. So if she was being irresponsible and not paying attention she would be at fault.

Oh, mainly just to counter the near-unanimous assumption here that the adult started it and is wholly at fault. I'll just advocate the theory that maybe the kids were being a gang of confrontational little shits so they could become famous by filming a neighbor blowing up after provoking her.
Nope, I don't know that. But we don't know otherwise, the video starts after the critical context.

Oximcbride ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:33:46 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

You never know who or what you'll be dealing within these circumstances. Some people you may encounter do have mental health issues, having a seriously bad day, or just outright don't care. Best thing to do is stop at the apology and disengage. Get away. Don't be the aggressor in any way to include speech. Doing otherwise can be construed as a lack of fear for one's self or others and potentially negate any justifications in a judicial review.
(Honestly, of all the police officers I've worked with this is the same point where they fail during a violator engagement. Take whatever enforcement action and get out of there. No matter how much lip you get after all enforcement action is done and further detention is no longer necessary or authorized.).

But he tried to do that right from the start and the lady just wouldnt let it slide. He apologized even though it wasnt his fault, he tried to end it as peacefully and as quickly as possible. After that he was still completely on the defensive side, and was very explicit that he didnt want any sort of confrontation. Sure one can always nitpick on places he could have done better, but as long as theyre humans with some level of emotion its not gonna be perfect.

That lady wanted to "win" she wanted to have the last word and he wasn't having it. He apologized and she went ape shit "How about you go fuck yourself" I think recording her was the tight thing to do because she was clearly going to hit the boy, hell, even with the camera on her face she was going to hit him or even run him over with her car. She should have left before the things escalated The boy knew his rights, you can't hit/assault a kid (stranger no less) just because its pissing you off

In a way, yes. The boy was practically letting her know that he was the one in control just by having a camera recording.... but when the video starts you can hear that the lady is already screaming so he started to record to get evidence for whatever she was trying go do, she wanted to take away his hover board and he knew he had to prove it was her but he gets mad too when she starts walking towards him with that menacing look I ask, what was her reason? Was she gonna smash the phone to destroy the "evidence"?
Was she gonna slap the boy "like a mother would" for misbehaving? Either way she should have stayed in place "arguing" whatever she wanted to argue, by following him like she wanted to punch him and trying to hit him with her car tells us that she handled it poorly and with so much anger. Adults explode, we know, but that's no reason for you to go cussing and trying to hurt some teen because they're annoying you.

This reminds of the time my friends and I asked a neighbor who was going construction if we could have some of the old wood he was throwing away. He said of course. We walked it over to my friends house down the street and started building a skateboard ramp.
We had an old women basically screaming at us for "stealing" wood from the neighbor. My friend was very polite and kept saying over and over again "ma'am, I understand you're upset, but please go ask the neighbor, we took it with his permission"
"BULLSHIT! I saw you walk over there and grab it right out of trash!"
After his mom came out and told her to leave the police showed up and we had to take the ramp apart, carry the wood all the way to the neighbors house and apologize, just to have to neighbor say, "for what? I told them they could have this!"

They have open government laws that make information like arrests and public records super easy to access. This means that reporters can get a lot of information on weird ass crimes, and since weird stories get attention, they tend to write about them a lot. This combined with Florida's large population means that we get a lot of stories about "a Florida man" doing something bizarre, and since Florida's kinda unremarkable otherwise it stuck and earned them the reputation of being trashy/weird.

I know I replied to you elsewhere already, but sometimes things happen out of our control, and especially for cosmetic car damage repair, these things take low priority.
Most people don't have the cash for unexpected car repairs.
Having a dent is nothing to be ashamed about, especially if it happened at no fault of your own.

May not be a "classy" car, but that's not something to judge the character of a person on.
I can immediately think of someone really close to me who worked 12 hour factory shifts to squeak by and support his 4 daughters, but it was barely enough and he had an old Toyota hatchback that served him well, until some troublemaking kids in the neighbourhood decided to drive grocery carts into all the cars in the parking lot, and smash his back hatch in.
He didn't have the money to fix it, no one was ever caught, so he ended driving a beaten up old Toyota hatchback, that ended up rusting, and looking very sorry. Still one of the most classiest and giving men I know, and is a safe driver, none of the damage was his fault.
You start of with saying "I respect that people do what they can to get by" and then immediately jump to "at her age [its] not classy."
What does age have to do with it?
For all we know she's a hardworking single mom, who bought a used car cause that's all she could afford, and had a particularly bad day, reacted very poorly, went home and immediately felt shame and guilt, and tried to do something positive to account for it.
Maybe she went whereever she was going and continued giving attitude and learnt nothing.
Either way, the car really doesn't say much at all.

Very true, but that's just a choice some people choose to make. My coworker is still driving his '88 Toyota, and it's running beautifully. I'm just saying that a car being old shouldn't be an instant 'oh that person isn't classy' Obviously every car is different, and it's a whole different deal if they take care of their car, but age just isn't the worst thing ever.

You can't apply the same brake pressure barefeet compared to wearing appropiate footwear in emergency situation, thus you are endangering other road users. I know driving barefeet is illegal in Germany for that reason edit: or rather, if you're involved in an accident while driving bare feet, you're in deep shit

That doesn't even make sense. Why would you not be about to apply the same breaking pressure? Driving with shoes on is the same as driving with winter gloves on, I can do both fine but I have more control with bare hands/feet.
I regularly workout barefoot, both weightlifting and running. I usually drive with shoes on just because it's inconvenient to take them off unless I'm going on a long trip, but I defiantly feel safer driving barefoot.

Do you leave the house with shoes and then just take them off in the car, or do you just leave without shoes at all? Where would you be going barefoot?
throwaway246oh1 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:47:17 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
It's not the driving that's the problem - it's more a suggestion for what happens if you get into an incident. Imagine a fender bender and there is broken glass all around your car and you need to get out.
Now in your case you'd have swampy shoes you could put on, but what if you needed to put them on quickly and couldn't? Or you broke an arm somehow and aren't able to?
I know, crazy situations that would never happen, but that's the point of being prepared. Driving shoeless can be fine if things go smoothly, but it's a preventative measure in case things don't.
For me, it's like driving in the winter without a jacket with you. Sure, your car is heated and you don't even plan to get out. But what happens if it breaks down and you need to get out? You'd want that jacket.
TL;DR Just because something is legal, doesn't mean it's the best practice and an all-encompassing solution. Just be prepared for the unexpected.

I barefoot drive all the time. I automatically remove shoes to drive. It's more comfortable, and I get better pedal feel. And also my feet are extra wide so with shoes on it makes it awkward to drive.

Around here, regardless of miles or condition, if a honda or toyota turns over, it's AT LEAST $1000. If it makes it through a test drive without dying you're looking at $1500. That ~97 camry with a beat up fender and 200,000 miles would be an easy $2500.
No lie I see 20+ year old civics on craigslist with beat up interior and exterior, no engine, and they're asking $800.

The boy got very heated, and I suppose he really could have just literally walked away at any moment and the problem would have just ended. But he didn't want to be walked over, and literally nothing he did was against the law (except possibly whatever he did on his board before the video started, which was likely just a mistake). He stood his ground and made logical arguments, and kept his phone running knowing he wouldn't be assaulted as long as he kept it running.
I know he didn't "win" anything, but I respect the way he handled it. He never insulted the woman's physical appearance, her car, or her lack of intelligence, like everyone else is doing here. All he ever did was criticize her actions, which is what matters.
Highfire ยท 163 points ยท Posted at 14:48:30 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
If it's how he generally conducts himself, I can see why he'd stand his ground. Lots of adults seem to relish in their adulthood when there's a chance to "let it shine" in a conversation (or conflict) with an adolescent. If he ended up dealing with much of that growing up, he's probably just a bit fed up with people trying to assert their opinion as near-fact just because they're older or more experienced.
It would also explain why he only criticised her actions and not her. It's not about who she is, it's about what she did.
Beyond that, him getting heated is not really a problem to me. He controlled the situation really well and I can understand how pissed off I would be if I was put in that situation. Nearly hitting you with a car (or at least not making any effort to make sure you don't get hit) and telling you that you have no respect would rightfully infuriate just about anyone.

He did a good job also making it abundantly clear that he (nor co.) were going to get physical as well.

Unfortunately he took the approach of the 'Stand your ground' abusers when he calmly stated, "I'm in fear of my life", yet did nothing to get away from that situation. Police should have been involved if he was that fearful of getting assaulted.

The events unfolded rather quickly. Every time he thought it was over she tried reversing after him and re-engaging with him. It's not fair to say a 14 year old should've called the cops in this ~5minute altercation where (honestly) beyond being driven over, she didn't pose much of a threat (judging by appearance he most likely could've out run her).
Police aren't going to be there to help you within the time-frame of the events that transpired. The time he would've spent with dispatch was used to continue defending himself, leaving the police free to take care of more important matters.

When seconds matter, the polices are only minutes away.
Either she was going to attack him, and then he could defend himself and call the police afterwards to arrest her (or pick up her corpse), or she wasn't and a police call would be a waste of time.
Good decent people don't need to "get away" from situations where they aren't doing anything wrong or illegal.

If I were in 'fear of losing my life', I would be getting away from that situation as fast as possible. Should it matter who is right or wrong? Police can be taken video of the first part of the confrontation at a time when it is safe.

I think it's ridiculously important that more and more kids develop similar ways of conducting themselves when in the face of shitty adults, and shitty people in general. I never would have had the balls to do this as a kid, and it's left me as a meek, miserable adult. I have hope for the current generation of young people

Can confirm -- I'm 20 now, people tell me that when they talk to me they think I'm older (so maturity I guess), but I've been exactly the same person since I was 15. If anything messed me up in life it was being treated as a child with no autonomy or substance to my life for 3+ years of basically being a mental adult.

The kid didn't swear or go after her because he was filming and would've looked bad to his parents later on if he had to show the video. I'd like to think without the video he would've been a normal 14 year old telling her to fuck off.

It would've been really easy to make fun of her appearance or cuss her out, but he handled it very maturely for being that heated, and you can tell at the end of the video that he was just really peeved and wouldn't stand for the harrasment just because she's an adult.

And he could have walked away and not engaged her further, but also bear in mind he's 14, and certainly doesn't have the same logical capacity as an adult should have. The fact that he remained mostly calm by comparison and she continued to go back to the argument because a fourteen-year-old was "goading" her speaks to her immaturity rather than his maturity. Because quite frankly I don't expect a fourteen-year-old to be mature. They're still a child as far as I'm concerned.

I agree with you here. I replied to another comment saying that it probably could have ended a lot sooner if they weren't egging each other on. Not that the kid did anything wrong. But that's a good point you bring up, at least he didn't insult her personally. Because it could have easily gone that way. He has more restraint than the people here on reddit. She wasn't in the right either.
DouthPhoenix ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:40:30 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The kid could have actually been his own worst enemy here. He kept his phone running, yes, but he also baited the woman to assault him. If I tell you to hit me, and then you hit me, it's probably not going to hold up real well when the police gets involved. If he wasn't a minor, this could have gone very wrong for him.
sje46 ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 16:18:42 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The tone is clearly not him actually encouraging her to hit him. It's more him pointing out that if she actually did hit him, she was going to regret it. A lot of times when people say "I dare you", it's to emphasize how stupid they're being.
I'm not a lawyer though. But cops and juries aren't just robots who can't understand context. No matter what, the woman would have still have assaulted him.

He definitely should have avoided using that language though. It wouldn't have helped him in any case although if it had become a case, she still would have been crucified. Especially backing up WITHOUT turning when he was right behind her.
Frankly I think he should have called the cops about someone road raging.

He continuously escalated the situation rather than descalate it.
https://youtu.be/gevbtHeKlww?t=100
"keep walking towards me, do something do something" At this point he's goading her on to physically attack him. If he was in that situation and behaved that way with someone who kept it real like him, it could've went a lot worse.
In that situation, you shut the fuck up and move away from the person. The kid is setting himself to live his life like this:

I see what you're saying, but I do think the intent of the boy wasn't to goad her so he'd have an excuse to fight her or even get her arrested. I think the intent of the boy was to let her know she's doing something risky.

Most of my life people have walked all over me. I'm just starting to really speak out when I think people are being unfair to me. So I do think that the conflict would have resolved much more quickly if the kid stepped away, but, regardless, the kid never did anything wrong, and he stood up for himself. I respect that, and I do think it is important to stick up for yourself. It's important for yourself, your own mental health. Therefore, he definitely gets my sympathy.
If he was truly the worst little shit he would have insulted her, maybe even attacked her or her car.

What was the event that triggered it all? Sure, she handled the situation like a dumbass, that's incontrovertible. But what situation? What happened before the boy started shooting the video?
What if, for example, the kids were riding their bikes in the road, pulling wheelies and stuff, and nearly got knocked over? She'd be upset, and faced with a crowd of kids full of righteous indignation, would get angry. The escalation would be stupid, pointless, and the acts of the kid would only escalate the situation further, not diffuse it. Stupid reaction from her, but more understandable.
I'm not saying that that is what happened, I'm not saying that the kid is entirely wrong. What I'm saying is that people don't walk around like that all the time.
Shit happened off-camera that no-one here knows about.
marshallreddersghost ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 16:18:48 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
All I hear her say is "you guys were in the road." She never made mention of a close-call or any other situation. It's all on camera. Not sure how you can conclude that there is understanding to be had on her part. I've been triggered before and I was wrong, too
ThinkBiscuit ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 16:25:40 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
So at some point the kids did do something to engender some reaction, therefore she is not 100% to blame.

marshallreddersghost ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 16:33:11 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Well, go ahead and create whatever scenario you want. She never said anything remotely like "do you know how close I was to hitting you?". Kids simply being in the road is enough to trigger certain people. No reason to think anything else happened here. Even if it did, you find her how she reacted to be an understandable response?
ThinkBiscuit ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 16:53:23 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I don't need to. All I'm saying is that we don't know what the scenario was exactly. No more than that. There is uncertainty.
Again, I don't know, because I don't know what her response was a reaction to. Uncertainty.
You have seen that film, seen her being an asshole, and without knowing exactly what preceded this scene, assumed the kids have done little wrong to engender that particular reaction.
Now, to clarify, I'm not saying they have done something that would engender that particular reaction. All I'm saying is that because we don't actually know what what done and said before that clip, assuming that the women is 100% the cause is an assumption.
My original comment was that 'I don't think the kid is entirely blameless'. By which I mean that I don't think the kids where just doing nothing at all, and then this angry women just opened up on them.
I don't think that's an assumption.

From the video it looks like a Cul de sac, meaning essentially a dead end road. it's literally one of the safest roads to play on because cars can ONLY come from one direction, and no one has any reason to go down there except the residents.
Yet this lovely specimen has a reason to yell at children, so it's all good....

I've lived on a cup-de-sac my entire life (as a kid and as a parent), and while yes, they are typically safe, there are 2 pretty big issues with them:
Residents who live on cul-de-sacs almost always assume that there is no traffic in the street, so they burn rubber hauling ass-backwards out of their driveway (if I had to guess, I'd say this is likely what spurred the conflict in the video -- the lady appears to live on that street).
People who do NOT live on the cup-de-sac treat it as their own personal U-Turn, which wouldn't be an issue, except usually they're conducting the U-Turn because they missed a turn and are pissed about it, so they barrel down the street at 40-50 MPH.

Sorry but I can tell you from experience that a Cul de sac does have two way traffic, otherwise vehicles would stack up pretty fast.. or the limited vehicles would eventually empty out of the Cul de sac. :)

Possible, but this lady lost any moral high ground she had as soon as she backed up, got out, and started walking towards one of the kids. Why come out of your car and start an altercation with a bunch of kids? Whether they were assholes or not is truly irrelevant.

You contradict yourself, if they plan on making a video then you see the start middle and end of this nonsense. If you are doing your kid stuff and shit goes sour, you pull out your phone to help provide some protection from asshole lady, thus you end up with just the middle and end.

And if you look at the surroundings of the video, you'll notice that it's a residential area with no sidewalks. Where else are the kids supposed to go? I guess she thinks they should just stay inside playing video games all day instead of going out and enjoying the nice weather.

She did say they were in the road. My neighbors never had a problem with us playing in the road. Children's should be safe and encouraged to play outside....keeping a look out for cars of course.

you can play outside without playing in a road. a friend of mine was hit playing in the street when we were kids. They were too busy playing to see the car was coming around a bend. It's just a sad loss for everyone. Yes the driver could have been driving better, but as a parent, I wouldn't want one mistake to cost me the loss of my child.

I get what you are saying about us not knowing what happened before the recording started and it's a valid point, but you make it sound kind of nefarious that these videos just conveniently start in the middle of a conflict.
Most of us aren't walking around recording 24/7 so aren't going to capture the beginnings of confrontations.
Until we all have these cameras.

Judging by dumb stuff I would do as a kid and by what I see kids today doing, they probably were internationally playing chicken with her car or trying to get in her way/annoy her.
Then when she starts to get really heated, you start recording and give sarcastically polite comments acting like you did nothing wrong.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It was probably like she might've almost ran one of them over.
The lady may have been driving a bit faster than she was suppose to in a residential street....and the kids may have not been paying attention to clear the road to let her pass in a reasonable amount of time.
It's really about compromise here.
Clear the way if you see a car coming, honk or stop and wave to let them clear if they aren't paying attention, and don't drive fast in a residential street.
And kids should remember, that if an idiot driver hits them-no matter how fucked up the driver is- they are usually going to be the one who sustains more injuries...not the person in the car. So it's in their best interest to watch out for themselves for idiot drivers. Of course again, drivers shouldn't be idiots to begin with either so it does go both ways.

Except for the fact that she's an adult and they're children. In my mind, the children (even if acting childish) are innocent. I'm not saying they weren't being shitheads because they might have been (we've all been 14 year old shitheads at one point in our life) but the adult isn't supposed to then assault them for it.

If you're a 14 year old, awkward back and forth is a part of your daily life. It's a learning experience. If you're 14 years old you have 5 arguments as annoying as this before lunch time every day.
In a couple years, you look back and say "Hey, remember that big argument we had about whether Bionic or Kung-Fu is stronger? That was stupid and embarrassing for both of us. Let's never do that again." 14 year olds have these experiences so that when they're 16 or 18 they'll be slightly less awkward.
If you're 44 years old and still doing this, you've failed somewhere along the way.

I definitely agree, this woman is clearly in the wrong and should have just moved on with the "teenagers will be teenagers" reassurance. But it feels like people are praising this kid for simply reiterating verses he has heard on YouTube and passive-agressively telling her to have a nice day while his friends spit on her car. And of course when she gets close to him he yells assault, yet continues to do the same to her throughout the video. Neither should be commended.

I think we can do better than commenting on her physical appearance. Say this post was about her being made fun of for that reason. Then everyone here would be defending her saying she doesn't look that bad, and that it's bullshit that we tie a woman's worth to her physical appearance and to fuck the haters and all that.
But because she did a bad thing, that all goes out the window. We get to say that she's "top-heavy" and make fun of her for driving barefoot, and snark at her tattoo, say she has either fake or fat boobs... Like, that kind of stuff is still bullshit.

Infuriating.
I live in a gated community and one day I park my car out by the pond to watch some YouTube and have a smoke (I don't smoke in my house). I'm sitting there in broad daylight and a ~60 something year old neighbor with his wife confronted me asking me who I was and what I was doing there. I said I'm enjoying the day and I live here. He didn't believe me at all and walked around my car taking a picture of my license plate and employee parking stickers to see where I worked. I was shaking I wanted to get out of my car and shove him. He started cursing at me while his wife stood there approvingly. I told him to step away from my car and rolled up my window.
I now see that guy weekly while driving through the community and not once has he tried to apologize nor does he look remorseful. I'm his fucking neighbor and he treated me like some low life outsider to his perfect world.
Some people are just too stupid to argue with or confront with the intent of anything being solved. That neighbor threatened to call the sheriff, the sheriff! For what? I'm in my car in my neighborhood.
This video just reminded me of that interaction. This woman needs counseling.

You want someone to judge behaviour from personal experience. You can experience others behaviour and you can experience your own behaviour. These are distinct from each other. Op guy says he was a "cunt" (presumably when he was 14 or so) and recognises his behaviour as such and projects that behaviour onto someone else.
He was like that at 14.
Other people have different behaviour patterns at 14 presumably not all of them are "cunts" yet dude mcDude assumes kid was behaving like himself at that age. Clearly there is a spectrum of behaviour.

So "mcDude" thinks the kid was insincere based on his own personal experience, we've already established that.
It's you who hasn't shown any evidence that isn't true. In fact the only thing you've done is belittle him and say he's projecting while (again) giving no evidence that is the case.

I don't need to prove kid was or wasn't I simply said dude mc dude was projecting based on him thinking the kid was a cunt and him saying he had been a cunt himself as a kid.
Nothing controversial there. Unless of course English comprehension is difficult?

And I said, the guy is just saying the kid was insincere based on personal experience. Do we need to get restate the entire conversation to the point where I questioned if your comment made any sense? Talk about english comprehension.... or were you just mentioning projecting in an attempt to learn what it may or may not be? Because your declaration of it certainly doesn't make it so.

Reproaching when she walked away and repeatedly engaging in the argument is escalating.

He tried to end the situation by apologizing and she freaked out and he defended himself. She is the one that continuously escalated by threatening to take his phone and constantly approaching.
I also don't think it's the responsibility of a child to deescalate the temper tantrum of a grown ass woman. You are expecting a lot out of a 14 year old.

I didn't watch the whole thing, but from what I saw, his "Have a nice day" felt like he was mocking her, not because he actually meant it. Reapproaching and continuing to talk is not trying to end the situation, it is escalating, as I said.
I didn't expect either of these two to properly handle it and they didn't. Thus, they were both wrong, being a kid excusing one from responsibility, not from being wrong.

It's completely normal for kids in the U.S to play on neighborhood streets. One kid usually looks out and yells "Car!" when one is coming. The kids probably should have paid better attention while in the road, but nothing that the woman did was remotely acceptable.

That's not the sound of anger, that's the sound of stress.
His repetition is stress-response.
He would have been better to just walk away, obviously, but a stress-response like that, squawking like a parrot sounding an 'I'm scared' alarm is way better than a teenager barking like an angry dog looking for a fight.
I believe him, and I believe he believes himself when he says, "I'm not tough". This is his way of protecting himself, and I think he did a decent job.
He wasn't particularly intelligent, or surprisingly intelligent for that matter, but I don't actually think he was being mouthy or trying to escalate the situation.

That's a strawman arguement, nobody is suggesting that. Yeah she should have known better and driven off but he could have just walked away too. He kept aggravating the situation by acting so cocky and continuously filming her and saying stuff like "lets get that license plate". Had he walked away he would have come off looking much better than he does in the video, but again he's 14 and she should have taken the responsibility to drive away too.

It's a straw man arguement because you are assuming that /u/simmonjam1 is saying that the woman is totally innocent in this situation just because he said the boy should have walked away. Yes she has the responsibility to walk away but at 14 years old you're perfectly capable of making your own decisions and he could have taken the responsibility and been the bigger man. He shouldn't have to, but that doesn't mean he couldn't.

It seems to me like he wanted her to do something, as if trying to get a rise out of her, that's why he seems cocky. He could have just stopped at any of the points she got in the car but he kept talking and filming, egging her on further. And how do you know she wouldn't have just driven off had he not kept filming? She clearly wanted the last word and so did he, neither of them come off very mature.

Is it legal in America to specifically film one person in the street?

xparanoyedx ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 18:01:20 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yes it is perfectly legal. Anytime you are in public space, you have the right to film whoever or whatever you want as long as what you are filming is not illegal in itself (such as filming up women's skirts). One of the advantages to the law being as such is that when you are caught in a situation such as this you can record the events and not have to worry about getting in trouble and are able to provide proof of the interaction should you need it. Being that the kids are so young, had they or their parents gone to the police, it would have been a "he said, she said" situation where they most likely would have believed the adult. But now they have video evidence of the encounter. If you're being filmed and dont like it, then leave.

So the 14 year old was in the right. But honestly, he could have ended the conflict much earlier by just letting her drive off the first time without trying to have the last word.

For fuck's sake, what a pointless altercation. Obviously it's even worse for a grown adult to get involved in meaningless shit-flinging like this, but juat walk away already, kid, instead of deliberately trying to provoke people for no reason. Literally just shut up and leave is what I wanted to say to everyone involved throughout.

Always good to balance it out with the DFW video. This is one of the all time best you may come across in your lifetime. (IMHO).
She may have a father she's taking care with Alzheimer's. She's really not looking too healthy, sounds not highly educated. Sometimes compassion may be needed. Yes, as hard as it sounds.
Check out DFW here, a life-changer, guaranteed. And may make you look at this confrontation in a different mind set. :-)

That comment was kind of out of left field. I am a 62 year old man that only wears shoes if forced to. To me the stuff that grows in your shoes and makes your feet stink is gross. Feet like your hands by themselves are not gross, shoes have horrible germs growing in them and also the pressure they put on your skin and bones deform our feet. Shoes on the other hand like gloves are tool and in some ways are needed. In Arizona right now, shoes are almost life savers. I understand why you might think bare feet are gross, feet you are used to seeing stink and are deformed, and you were probably taught by society to feel that way. Kinda Brainwashed.
Just because I'm an old guy, that does not make me right, please don't be offended by anything I said.

I don't think bare feet on their own are gross. However, I do think that shoes offer better protection against whatever is on that ground she is walking on. That is what disturbs me. I'm no feet fetishist but on their own, they don't gross me out, just the idea of spits, washed away piss or worse and whatever else is sitting on the road is being stepped on and latched to her feet. I probably should have expanded in my original comment.
cocoabeach ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 17:37:21 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I can see how you might think that. In reality though, much of what we worry about does not hurt us unless we already have something else wrong with our feet. Back a hundred years ago, my grandmother used to step in cow manure to warm up her feet because they could not afford shoes to work in. She was very healthy and lived to almost a 100.
I wasn't just kidding about the germs in shoes. Because of the humidity and skin cells in your shoes, germs that are very harmful to humans grow there. That is why I make sure that I always wear clean socks if I have to wear closed toe shoes. At least I have that between the germs and my feet.
If you have to wear shoes, as much as you can, wear something that is not tight and is open to the air. If you do wear closed toe shoes, wash your feet before you put them on, wear clean socks, and wash off the germs after taking them off. If you do that, you will cut down the damage the shoe does to your feet.

They were both in the wrong on multiple accounts.
It could have ended so much sooner, but they were both provoking each other further, by not only trying to get the last word, but also by approaching each other numerous times.
The 14 yr old could have stood his ground, but actually got close to her when she was at her car door. Plus they outnumbered her. If they did that to a cop during an argument, he'd be on the ground. Not saying he meant to do any harm, but it easily could have been perceived that way.
Word of wisdom: Just shake your head and go on about your day. Let her dumb ass yell all she wants; don't feed the troll.

It's hilarious to me that the older people get, the more they feel the world owes them. Pedestrians ALWAYS have the right of way in the road and considering she is in a residential area the speed limit was max. 25. Kudos to this kid for not stooping to her level.

Driving barefoot is illegal in Florida. Playing in the street is probably illegal in that community (it's illegal in most). Leaving the car running (presumably in park) while walking around is dumb, but probably not illegal. The throwing it in reverse twice is questionable.
The need for everyone to have the last word? Yeah. That's why dumb shit happens.

All these people sticking up for the kids makes me wonder. She shouldn't have done any of the shit she did but kids are brats, especially now with their attempt at viral videos and social media attention. I was in Target and kids were trying to annoy adults to get a funny video. They were putting merchandise in strangers carts without them knowing. Recording who they thought was ugly or fat. I would've loved to smack one. Definitely not run him over. The kid in video sounds like a condescending little prick.

How should he have reacted. He apologised for being in the road and told her to have a nice day. She escalated it unnecessarily - its a minor suburban road - a cul-de-sac too by the looks of it. How much inconvenience could he have caused?
Furthermore, she has to yield to pedestrians.
lilmase777 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 00:47:46 on July 24, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Just the fact that he had out his camera, probably looking for trouble (it's not something new, i've seen it so many times). He should've just walked away, all of them. It's the first thing we teach our kids "do not talk to strangers" if this was my child (i have 2 kids) if i allowed them to play with their hover boards in the street made SURE they did NOT obstruct any traffic and if they saw any cars coming to be on the side of the road ahead of time. Ok, being realistic, if that didn't happen and some asshole like her came out yelling, i would neat my kids for engaging in that and feeding the fire. They were taunting the woman who was pissed bc they were in the street mouthing off. She handled it super poorly and im not saying she was right but I'm sure she has a lot more on her mind than these kids playing in the street. So this was just an aggravation in her already aggravated life. Kids these days, like the kids said, can film anywhere the want. But at an adults expense? She was right, when she said he should show some respect. But by getting out of the road. Never said she handled it correctly, she stooped to their level, a bunch of entitled little brats.

We also don't see what happened to initiate her behavior. If my theory about todays kids is correct, they probably were being little pricks. He says condescendingly have a great day while snickering, which if I were pissed off, would make me even more angry. Again, not enough to run someone over.

I thought pedestrians always had the right of way. People like her are why it's so dangerous for bikes and people to be in the road, just because you have the biggest thing in the road does not mean you have more right to it that other people do. When you're in a residential neighborhood, especially a cul de sac, expect kids to be out playing

Not really surprising to be honest. Most of the time if adults are arguing with kids the kids seem to be more mature. Especially because adults who are arguing with kids should probably grow up a little themselves.

Not only did he handle it very well, but he also kept his composure.
He wasn't shaking the video or panicking. Keeping calm in a situation like that and structuring arguments is something that is actually very difficult. Even as an adult.
When you watch a lot of videos like this, people shake, trip over words, and aren't able to reference parts of the interaction in an organized way.
For 14 years old...he killed it.

Idk any video where I see someone arguing with someone who is clearly crazy/an idiot looks like just as big of an idiot. The kid should have just walked away. That women clearly has problems and with this video being posted she just becomes a sideshow for people to mock. Just because the kid didn't resort to her level of stupidity doesn't me he's not a dumbass for poking the bear, and he clearly had to have the last word.
ZWright99 ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 14:44:05 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
He did try to walk away. He apologized and told her to have a nice day multiple times, and he started walking back to his friends. She kept getting out of her car, driving 50ft away, reversing and getting back out of her car because the kids were still in her mirror. As an adult she should have just drove off. If the kids were causing problems in the streets then she should have called the police to go check on them and make sure they weren't being mischievous.
Edit: I get the whole point about being critical of videos that start halfway through an altercation. But then again, if they were recording before it happened, people would be asking why they were already recording. Can't win I guess

I can see what you are saying,
But he did try to diffuse the situation. He even apologized. She kept going and walking towards him.
The whole process that he went through was a great way to establish himself in the 'right'. She threatened that she knew where he lived and now he has evidence that he tried to diffuse the situation while laying out the things she did wrong, including throwing her car in reverse and violently driving towards him. Of course that wouldn't have happened if he just walked away.
But I would counter that with the fact that she was in the wrong and these sort of people do need to be called out in my opinion.

But she was maybe having one really shitty day and this is not a fair reflection of her character. You know the kind of day. I'm sure you've had at least one of those where everything goes wrong and then something happens and you snap.
Plus, you know, getting lippy with some cocky kids on the street is not exactly a crime. Not a good look, but definitely not a sackable offense, especially if it was just a one-off, which as far as we know it totally could be.

Eh. I don't know the full story. Video starts after shit started. Convenient. Knowing kids though, I have a strong feeling thru started the whole thing. Him advertising his Instagram isn't a good sign either. He also greatly overreacted to her simply getting out to talk. He kept egging her on as well. He was inciting violence with his comments so he's not innocent at all.

Don't think he overreacted at all, he clearly felt threatened by the woman and reacted accordingly. The adult should have had more sense than to argue back and approach the teenager. Should have driven on instead of reverse back. Not saying that the teenagers behaviour is mature, but it's much more dossapointing seeing a grown woman engage and be equally, if not more immature.

The teenagers are in a cul-de-sac. The most likely scenario is as follows: Resident (lady in car) waits in her driveway for 3-5 teenagers skating in her cul-de-sac to clear the road so she can pull out of her driveway. Teenagers skate off to the side. Resident pulls out. Friend of videographer skates out onto road nearly causing a collision. Resident upset with teenagers not knowing common sense road safety. Smartass videographer decides this is his 5 minutes of fame to harass obviously stressed out mother(? by those clothes, probably). Resident just wants stupid teenagers to be aware of cars. Smartass decides to take a cocky attitude "move along and have a GOOD day!" Resident obviously perturbed by smartass decides this is her time to tell kids common sense. Fast forward to her reversing. Smartass is obviously (again) in the middle of the fucking road even after he has "gotten her number plate" and tries to win the Academy Award by overplaying the "you tried to run me over!" even though Resident has complete control of the car and stops a good 5m before Smartass.
Anybody remember playing in the street and whenever a car was coming, at least one child yelled at the top of their lungs "CAAARR!!!" and then everyone went to the side of the road until it was clear? What happened nowadays?
EDIT: I'm a fucking illiterate moron that spells "of" with 2 "f's"

Nobody knows what the fuck happened here. Sounds like this kid is part of this self entitled generation. "I tried being nice and told you to move along".
Telling someone to move along is far from "being nice". It's quite the opposite actually. It's a nice way of saying "get the fuck out here lady and leave us alone".
From what I gather they were in the road and didn't move when the woman in a car was trying to drive. One of the kids flipped her off, typical 14 year old shit, and the woman got mad.
She should have just flipped them off and kept driving...as the adult.
She makes herself look bad for sure, but the title of this video is highly inaccurate. That kid sounds like a manipulative little prick.
I assume most of the people reading this response are the under 21 or don't even have their drivers licenses. If these kids were all in the road and failed to move it would be annoying.
Judging by the woman's response she probably honked or something which prompted the kid to react.

lets be clear- we dont KNOW what happened before the video started recording. the kid did what in legal terms is known as an "admission of guilt" by apologizing, which heavily implies that HE FEELs that he did SOMETHING wrong to her. Otherwise, why apologize?
also, she NEVER tried to hit him- her car never once VEERS towards him in fact she stays on the right hand side of the road, where the car is legally supposed to be driving- she never once steers it towards him. If anything he was in the wrong for being in the MIDDLE of the road where traffic is supposed to be.
So lets be honest- did she freak- yes, do we know what happened before he started recording- no, did she try to hit him- no, did he apologize implying some level of guilt- yes.
Look at what happened without seeing an unattractive loud mouth lady and see it for what it is.

I'm surprised no one has commented this yet, so maybe I'm the one who is wrong, but I'm going to say it anyway.
The video started when they were already arguing, so I'm betting that the kids drove out in the road and egged her on before the video began. That doesn't excuse the way she behaved, but it really only paints one side of the picture. Also, he probably got a lot more reserved and looking to draw "evidence" of her being a bad person when he pulled out his phone, whereas that creates panic in the woman, causing her to act more instinctively.
It's like the mr. met video when he flipped off the people. They intentionally only showed that part and left out how much instigation. Yeah, adults are supposed to be the mature ones, but I will only tolerate being pushed around so much by anyone of any age.
Videos like this will make that woman's life really, really awful when it doesn't even tell the whole story, and there is no way she can defend herself without seeming crazy.
This is the problem social media causes. You can't even have an argument with someone or lose your cool for a minute (despite adrenaline rushing because some kid ran out in front of your car and you were nervous you would hit them) without looking like a monster.

The problem with videos like these is we don't see what happened before the kid started filming.
He could have been a complete asshole himself and then hit the record button and all of a sudden he's this perfect kid who did nothing wrong.
In no way am I justifying what the woman is saying or doing however, we don't know what drove her to this point.

The kid was instigating throughout the entire video. Making statements like "Come at me", "Swing on me, go ahead" etc. This was not someone trying to deescalate a bad situation he created, instead its a kid puffing up and making this a bad situation. The kid is extremely lucky he didn't run into someone who acted the exact same way he did because the child could have been killed. His parents needs to talk to him about how to carry himself in public. Because if he behaves this way with someone whose armed, he'll be dead if the person is a hot head.

garhent ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 16:55:33 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
At 14 I had enough common sense to pull away from situations like this. If my parents saw me behaving that way, I would've gotten in a lot of trouble for not getting the fuck out of there and mouthing off to someone who could've been armed and insane. Essentially he screwed up and was blocking traffic and did an off the cuff apology or wasn't sincere and the lady took issue with it. From then on, the child tried assuming a dominant stance in the conversation for an issue he started and wasn't contrite. Unfortunately, the adult picked up on this and kept the situation going. In a worse case scenario, he could've picked up an adult with the exact same ego as the child and the child would've been dead.
When you fuck up, apologize, if the person doesn't accept it and appears aggressive keep your eyes on them and move out of the situation.

Multiple things, they need to get her license from this video and arrest her.
Endangering the welfare of a minor
Public nuisance
Running a stop sign (shown at end of video)
(There may be other road charges based off her going in reverse multiple times in the middle of the road, but unsure)
How do we make sure she faces the fine for at least running the stop sign?

I can imagine a situation where most of the time that kid isn't spitting on cars, however, given the circumstances of elevated aggressiveness on behalf of that lady the kid made a poor choice that a number of teenage boys surrounded by their friends would make.
Keep in mind also that the prefrontal cortex in these kids are still relatively early on in their development which will lead to poor decision making and wont be fully finished for another decade.

I've seen many 14 year olds, and being a peer myself I've never seen an 8th grader nearly as intelligent. Pre-Ap students are literally the only organisms I can properly communicate with, while regular ed is like speaking English to an un-contacted tribe.

I've talked about this before but people like her don't seem to realize that people have the right to walk around on residential streets too. I don't mean they have the right to block traffic but you have to share the street with the residents there.
I walk my dogs every day in my neighborhood and these assholes zoom right past me only 2 feet away at 35 MPH. Slow the fuck down this isn't a highway. And if kids are playing in the residential streets, just be fucking patient. You don't own the fucking road just because you're driving.
Assholes like this lady really tick me off. That kid is a fucking champ.

Please tell me she was arrested for this. She threatened a minor, attempted to run him over (twice, actually) and was a generally shitty human about he whole thing. I have a 14 year old, and I would have been pretty proud if mine if he handles himself this way.

Would like to see what the kids did to so anger the woman before passing judgement. The video, unsurprisingly, doesn't show it.
Not unlikely they deliberately provoked her somehow so they could record her response.

The three people I've had stop us from playing the street throughout my life were all women exactly like this lady.
How the fuck is playing on a side street (they're actually in a cul-de-sac) dangerous? And if that's the area they live in, then she obviously lives there, too. I bet her child (probably a toddler) will be playing in that same street in a few years.

As far as I can tell she's mad at them for like, being in the street in their own neighborhood? It is nice to see a kid sticking up for themselves and their friends when faced with a crazy adult. I think we can all agree however that the best response would be to let her think she got the last word, wait for her to drive off and then start playing in the road again. Appealing to reason doesn't work for unreasonable people.

She is waiting then she accelerates more toward my brand new car. So she drives forward into the space and scratches my.car from the passenger side back door to the right wheel and this happened to a T except my girlfriend almost got in. Fist fight with her

Nice to see a young man standing up for himself in a positive way. I have spent most of my career teaching 12-14 year olds and they are amazing humans. Yes, yes, I know not all, but most, we only ever report on the trouble makers. This young man's parents need to congratulate him for his respectful dealing with an obviously obnoxious adult who has forgotten that respect is a two way street. Kids in the road? They have played there as long as there have been roads, and yes lady you do need to yield for them that's your responsibility when operating a motor vehicle. What kind of human are you that you cussed out some kids like this, just for playing. Were they throwing things at cars? Trying to get hit? Refusing to move? Nope, just playing. It's a sad world, but thankfully this young man will grow up to make changes as the awesome adult he is bound to be. Well done, kiddo!

Actually, in most places, it's legal to play in the street in a residential neighborhood. They had as much legal right to be there as she did. Meanwhile, she is driving without shoes and the last time I checked that was a civil offense in all 50 states.

Good for the kid. He should take the video to the cops. She committed many driving violations. Probably would be in some legal jeopardy for threatening/intimidating him physically etc... She's also just an asshole. She acts like she's never driven through a residential neighborhood and seen kids playing in the street. I'd love her to come to my house and complain about my kids like that.

It's the adults responsibility to be mature and act responsibly. Also, isn't it against the law to drive barefoot?

I don't know. We didn't see the initial incident. The kid is obviously in the road. Entitlement mindset? Maybe. Regardless his adrenaline is probably going and is verbally egging her on trying to be cunning with his words. At first she is not irate and wants to speak to his parents. If he is innocent, why not encourage it, ask for her number, call it, so they can exchange numbers. He pushes her and she is frustrated because you cannot hurt a kid. She chooses poorly and cusses all over the place. Both parties need to have the last word. A sign of immaturity on both sides. Bottom line, who wins? No one. Nothing came out of this. Kid is probably still riding in the street. She is probably still driving like crap. We all are entertained for a minute but will forget this by tomorrow. I'm wasting my time typing. Lol

When I was a kid a mom at the playground thought I did something (still don't know what) to her daughter. I was about 6 or 7. This lady came over, grabbed me and started shaking at shouting at me that I should never do it again. Despite telling her I didn't do it she persisted screaming at me. It was terrifying. Never told my parents, because I thought maybe I had done something wrong.

Unfortunately when I was younger, stuff like this trigger me hard and we'd know since we were minors we wouldn't get charged heavily hitting her especially when someone irrational like this was harassing us.
Florida is just full of shitheads. I mean regardless of how the law is, it's the state that let a man go LOOK for trouble while having a gun, exact vigilante justice, kill relatively innocent teen, then walk away to brag about killing the kid. Pretty sure most states will charge you guilty for looking for a fight/confrontation while being in possession of a firearm. That shit is a huge red flag but nah it's Florida nah mean?

I want to know what started this.
When I was a kid we biked and skate on the road. A car comes we got out of the way sometimes smiling and waving also good afternoon or what not.
Now a days I have been that person,not as aggressive but I have stopped and yelled at kids for not getting out of the road when cars go bye. It's like they think you have to wait on them, they don't have to move. I even let a parent have a piece of my mind for playing in the road with her kids and not getting out of the way. Mind you the park is literally next-door No respect I think.

IM3dpenguin ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:59:07 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The kid was right on all counts but one... I counted 4 times when he technically was assaulted.
1) The first time she backed up the car towards him.
2) The first time she continued towards him while talking and motioning in a threatening manner, his response was to back away, meaning he likely felt threatened.
3) The second time she back the car towards him.
4) The second time she walked towards him, again talking and motioning in a threatening manner, this time he actually stated he felt threatened.
Legal definition of assault...
This lady clearly assaulted a minor multiple times in a single incident, and the minor didn't instigate the situation, though he did try to instigate an attack or response at least one time.

Honestly the boy recording wasn't great either. She didn't try assaulting him, and he could walk towards her, but not her to him? He didn't seem like he felt threatened either, much like the other way round.

Assault doesn't require physical contact. A belligerent lady jumping out of her car and getting in a child's face is probably enough for a criminal complaint... maybe not a conviction... but it would be massively inconvenient for her.

Look lady, 14 y/os are little shits! Fact of life. However, engaging the kid is a HUGE mistake. I don't like video taken of me without permission either, but its the sign of the times. If the video-taking REALLY bothered you, just call the police! They would have authority to involve the kids parents, assuming wrong-doing on their part. IF you had a case against the kids, noticed the one spit on your car, then you could've taught an actual lesson to the kids. Which would be more Important for society than yelling at them. But, getting out and arguing with them?!? Teens LOVE that shit, and you just end up looking like... well, read all the other comments about your appearance.

Any adult that argues with a kid obviously suffers from mental illness. I've seen this video before and still can't manage to watch all of it. The worse thing is she's completely in the wrong. She does have to slow down and even yield if she sees children playing in the street. She'd have to be committed if she lived in my neighborhood where kids play street hockey with tennis balls all the time.

They're both idiots. Kid was mature at first when he deescalated the situation but it goes downhill from there. She crossed the line when she got out the car and started threatening the kid. Any maturity the kid had before went out the window when he started getting in her face and escalating the situation. Seriously both of you shut the fuck up.

While she should've taken the higher ground (seeing as she is the actual adult there) and just walked away, keep in mind this video doesn't show the whole story (as usual).
Right as the video starts you can hear the kid's friend saying "(...) you retarded fuck. I wish you were a guy right now! [so he could fight her, like he would fight a grown man anyway]... oh my god.."
That's pretty bad (and retarded), who knows wtf they were going off on before the video started.

Okay I just wasn't sure if this was incriminating enough for a viral video to fuck her over without any action from the kids parents. I completely agree with you it's a lot of headache worth little satisfaction.

This stupid woman, what is she doing? She sees the kid filming and she thinks she's going to "win" in this situation by intimidating him? And if that doesn't work, violence is the backup plan (pun totally intended)? Just walk away, no one ever comes out on top when someone else is filming them, and if they ever did, the video would be deleted. But you can be sure the world will see when you lost an argument to a 14 year old. And now she'll probably get threatening calls and mail because her license plates are in the video and people can search them. Should have just gotten in the car and driven away like an adult with better things to do than argue with kids.

The only thing I can think of when I see confrontations where people are standing their ground by screaming at a psycho about how their actions are against the law, is how our prisons are likely bursting at the seams with people who didn't give a shit. The law isn't some invisible force field protecting you from harm.

I am not a lawyer but I am pretty sure you can't just demand someone's phone even as a minor. Kid is right, it might be paid by his parents but that still means it is the property of his and his family. That's like saying "Let me take your bedroom or car!" And I am pretty sure moving towards someone in a threatening manner towards a minor is illegal.

Out of no where this car came up, started riding my ass and passed me the first chance they got in a no passing zone with crowds all around. I like to think they had some place to be that was a matter of life or death. But most likely just some asshat being a prick.

I remember when I was a teen riding around with a few of my buddies. Some older guy got cut off by another group of teens about 100 m ahead of us. For some reason the man saw us and latched onto us and followed us for a few km honking at us and yelling at us at stoplights. My buddies and I were freaking out, finally decided to find a police car (way before everyone had cell phones) and park near it, except no police in it so the guy gets out of his car. At this point we're hemmed in, no way to escape, so we're basically trapped.
Figuring we've done our best to avoid a confrontation, we figure we'd rather go down on our feet then in our seats. I really thought staying in the car was best, but the quick (maybe 5 second) conversation we had was if he had a gun we'd be sitting ducks, at least on our feet we could hide if it came to it.
Up to this point the man had been yelling obscenities at us, but he calmed down pretty quick when he saw the 4 of us, two of us being almost twice his size. We told him we were sorry that people drove like shit but unless he wanted to get reported to the police for wreckless driving and assault that he needed to calm down and drive away. Within moments he did just that, but I learned that day that even full grown adults can flip and reason goes out the window.

I don't agree with kid either, imagine being annoyed by a group of teenagers using those shitty hover boards all over the road. Then one of them is filming you hover boarding all around you daring you to assault him.

There was no way the foul-mouthed piece of trash could quit while she was ahead, because she was never ahead in the first place. After being totally owned by a bright kid less than half her age (and a third of her weight) she kept coming back for more, hoping for the last (dirty) word.
And she just got owned again. And again. And again.
Very cool kid, btw.

This dumbass woman has less of an idea how to conduct herself than a 14 year old hover boarding in the street. This pathetic excuse of a person probably votes too.
She also ran that stop sign. The license plate was clear as day at the end. Florida is really missing an opportunity if they don't send this bitch a ticket in the mail.

Not surprised because of how trashy Florida is. But in all serious....is this the standard now a days? So many things are wrong here. The chick needs to be an adult and just leave already. The kid kinda screwed up saying if" you assault me I'll assault you". I don't see why this just isn't " hey get out of the rode", " you almost hit me" and then everybody just move on since no one got hurt and nothing was damaged. Stop making things more than they are. Pretty good composure from the kid, wish he would have stood his ground instead of backing up when she charged him.

So that's a little context but we're still just watching the lives of other people that we will never meet. It has nothing to do with anything but entertaining ourselves with strangers suffering. Like we find it entertaining to hate a real person that we don't even know. Even if we did know her why would this be entertaining. It's dumb.

Yelling at kids is ineffective. I find showing disappointment and calmly explaining the problem is much more effective. It worked on me when I was younger. I cut a pickup truck driver off on my bicycle once and he stopped the car and waived me back. Older guy Got out and said "The road is a dangerous place to be riding your bike so you really need to be aware of your surroundings. I'm glad you're wearing a helmet but its made of styrofoam won't help much if you get hit by a truck, so please be careful out here." He was calm and cool, he didn't yell, but I got what he was saying and that it was disappointing for him to have to stop and say something.

Both of these people are what we in the UK call 'twats'. She's a twat for engaging, trying to run over, and continually arguing with the child, and the boy is a twat for riding that abomination in the road potentially causing issues for traffic, then giving the woman grief when he could have just rode off. Urgh... twats.

When I was about 18 and living at my parent's house, I drove down my street but there was a number of the local kids playing in the road. They split up for just enough space for my car to get through, which made me feel incredibly uncomfortable driving through it.
So while passing through slowly, I stopped and said to the oldest "please don't stand in the street like that when a car is trying to go through" and left. Absolutely politely, not disrespectfully at all.
An hour after I got back home, the police were there asking me if I'd yelled at the kids while driving past. The stupid kid complained to her parents that I'd yelled swears at them as I drove past and called the police on me about it.
This still bothers me to this day. I'm not really sure why the police would come over kids complaining about being sweared at, but it really bothers me that they lied about it.

I'm afraid this kid needs to learn that angry people don't always think about laws and the consequences of their actions though. He may have been in the right, but his presence was just winding the woman up even more, he and his friends should just have walked away from that scene. There's no point having the law on your side when you're laying on the pavement bleeding heavily.

ELI5: Can the kid/kids parents do anything about this in a court of law? I mean this lady is clearly driving carelessly when she backs up (rather quickly) towards the kid, threatens him with property destruction (and maybe some other things? I couldn't quite hear her over his voice.) The kid was right in that she is assaulting him. Which is a crime in of itself (does is differ state to state?) The street is public property and as far as I know it is acceptable to play in the street in these kinds of neighborhoods(?)

Boy should have just rode away once she was in the car. Even though she was in the wrong, him continuing to address the lady (who was clearly in an aggressive state) just escalated the situation. Of course he's just a kid and likely hadn't learned that lease on, but this is a great video for everyone to learn how not to handle a situation (on both sides).
What if she had a gun and snapped? A knife? Confrontation just isn't worth it if no harm has yet been done to body or property.

I'm not saying he wasn't in the right in case something went down, but from what I've heard in some states it's actually illegal to film people without their permission.
Like I said, he was in the right to do so since shit coulda gone sideways, but it's still something I wanted to point out.

An adult is supposed to set an example to these kids about how the world works. How is it that the minors are setting the right example? The adults are filled with mental issues and the children pick up from it and this is the world we get. How is it always us vs them on race, generation gaps, class gaps, police and citizens. Where did the trust and caring go?

Well, it's true that the video starts that way. But we don't know what happened before that, without making assumptions. Maybe he was justified in saying it, maybe not.
That's not even the point I was making above. I was saying that for anyone to watch this video and take away from it that these kids "don't deserve to live" is a chilling thought.
And "don't try and play innocent with me" is a nice and menacing touch, well done.

Not sure about the assault charge but he's got evidence of her driving without shoes, which is illegal, and also not stopping at that stop sign. Personally, I'd get the police involved so they can remind her that they do have a right to be in the street - it is a neighborhood not a highway - and that she does not have the right to threaten them. I hope she doesn't have kids but if she does I can guarantee they are as bad or worse than she is.

You know what though its not even just an argument, when you approach someone in that manner it can qualify as assault (not battery obv). And if you are doing this to a 14 y/o, you could expect a judge to rule in their favor. Especially with video evidence lol. Some fucking people bro lol

There are plenty of 14 year olds that are this intelligent, and unfortunately interactions like this with adults have the chance to turn this kid super cynical , super fast.. hope he uses his intelligence to make himself successful, instead of being a 23 year old redditor who was "smarter than my teachers, but I didn't really try in school"

Does no one else see this as the kid egging her on? He's not being obvious about it, and he's wrapping it in pleasantness, but when the video starts, the altercation is already over. And then he tosses out the last word. Very pleasant, but if he kept his mouth shut the whole thing was over. At 1:10 she starts walking back to her car, and he uses the same line AGAIN, and she stops walking away, AGAIN. 2:10, she starts to leave a 3rd time, and he announces "License plate, License plate!" and.... she comes back again!
Just like every person in every pointless fight ever, he's not concerned with the fight ending. He wants the fight to keep going on until someone recognizes how right he is. And given that we have no idea how this fight started, I'm inclined to say this kid is in no way the 'good guy' here. He's just modeling different bad behavior.

Kid continues to instigate throughout entire video. If you really wanted the confrontation to end - just drop it. This kind of behavior doesn't help anyone, not trying to defend anyone here but if you're ever insulted or feel the need to argue over something trivial with a stranger just stop for a second and realize you're not the center of the universe and move on.

To be fair, and not to sound like a cranky neighbor; but about 6 years ago my block was nice and quiet. We always had kids, not much traffic, etc.
Then the neighbor who had lived across the street all my life passed away, and a family connected to the mob with spoiled brat kids moved in.
My block became the defacto hub for all the neighborhood kids with minibikes/quads. These kids would be incredibly disrespectful, use the loudest mufflers possible and literally play chicken with cars. This was extremely disturbing for most of us in the neighborhood because a year or so before they moved in a teen who lived around the corner got in to an accident and died just 3 blocks away from his house.
The kids were smart enough to use police scanners, so whenever a neighbor called the cops on them they would hide ASAP. I myself had been in a car accident while riding a bicycle as a kid that nearly killed me. So the whole playing chicken with my parents cars thing didn't really fly with them; because it was idiot kids with full reckless abandon making light of a situation they didn't even know about.
So my parents went to the police station to ask what they could possibly do to make them stop. These kids were also going ALL DAY long until the sun went down. Basically from noon to sundown all you could hear was the deafeningly obnoxious tones of crotch-rockets. The cops said that the kids were obviously in the wrong no matter what; because the vehicles are not street legal. They said they literally can't do anything though unless they catch them in the act. As far as the games of chicken go? The cop straight up said to not worry about hitting them because they would automatically be at fault.
A little bit of sweet justice came at a price about 2 years into dealing with the wannabe mini-bike mob. It was late spring, and a few friends and I were having a fire-pit in my backyard. No one else was home at my house, then we see bright headlights shine all the way to my back yard then through my house as we hear a truck peeling out. A friend was inside the house and saw the whole thing from my the front door.
One of my neighbors idiot friends thought it would be funny to peel out of his driveway then drive across/tear up my lawn. Eventually the cops came and he spent some time in jail...the stupid kid was already on probation.
Anyway, kids are assholes. You don't know how often/long they have been harassing this woman. She even says that she wasn't talking about the kid recording she was talking about the other kids who were in the road. Pulling out a camera on someone AFTER provoking them isn't exactly fair. You can troll someone while seeming intelligent at the same time. Doesn't make you any less of a dick.

I really wish people wouldn't walk backward to avoid a physical conflict when being approached by an aggressor that the person walking backward could easily plaster into the ground.
First, if you're walking backwards, you can't see where you're going. Second, walking backwards emboldens the aggressor. Stand your ground and get ready to swing once they violate your space. Maybe warn them that approaching to to within their striking distance is the same as starting an attack. And back it up with your posture.

2.) Cursing at a child.
3.) Threatening said child to : break his personal property and beat his ass.
4.) Reversing into said child to scare or hurt him.
5.) Returning to argue with said child not once, but TWICE.
6.) And finally, breaking basic laws like: stopping at a stop sign and signaling.

I wouldn't normally post on something like this, but I've seen it reposted multiple times now and it always irks me. I get that it's fun to make fun of the woman for getting in an argument with a kid, but praising the kid is absolutely the wrong thing to do. The kid even remarks at the beginning about how he wishes he was a guy so he could fight her. The woman is in the wrong for arguing, but yeah, flicking off drivers, spitting on their car, making claims that are ridiculous (when she backed up the she didn't swerve one bit to either side of the road, but he jumps backward for dramatic effect) and recording them getting upset at your shitty behavior is something reddit shouldn't be praising because "omg, standing up for his rights, so smart." We already have too many people who consider it "surprisingly intelligent" to do shitty things, and then claim they have a right to do those shitty things, somehow absolving them of any judgment. Just look at that acting, man, "what's wrong with this world" indicating that the woman is irrationally irate after he watched his friend spit on his car, and cut out the first half of the encounter in the video for "unknown" reasons.
Video in the middle of an altercation so you don't know what happened first? Check. Snarky polite comments so you can claim that you were a polite young man? Check. Claiming the other person is violating all of your rights so people google it and go omfg totally maybe could have kinda had a claim? Check
These videos are surprisingly easy to make, just look at reddit, this kid has bamboozled thousands of people.
tldr; woman shouldn't have been arguing, redditors are dumb as hell and the kid's a little shit

Intelligent? No. He's just regurgitating what his crazy culture taught him.
Let's have a closer look at what is happening here: He is using his phone to record somebody without that person's permission and then uploads this video online for thousands of people to see. Many of those viewers then proceed to make fun of the person who never agreed to any of this. This person lost the right to her own likeness and features in an uncomfortable video that can never be fully deleted from the internet ever again. And the little shit's argument is "this is my property". It's akin to justifying beating somebody up with a pipe by saying that one owns the pipe. A society in which this kind of reckless, asocial behavior is considered "normal" is truly crazy. Fuck this kid, fuck his entire generation and fuck its ridiculous sense of entitlement.

That's almost completely bullshit. They're in the middle of a street, so there's no assumption of privacy. Yes, he's using his phone to record the interaction, but he's not being secretive about it. If she didn't want to be recorded being a harpy, she could have stopped, gotten into her car, and left. She had the ability to disengage, and chose to continue being awful to some kids who were playing in the street.
Comparing that to someone beating another person with a pipe, which itself has the potential to render someone unable to disengage, is the crappiest straw man I've seen this week.

Let's have closer look at your ignorant argument:
In public, you have no expectation of privacy. Do you think when news outlets film busy sidewalks they stop potentially hundreds of people to get them to sign release forms? No.
Because you act like a lunatic in public, someone else has taken your likeness? This makes no sense. Don't want to be filmed attempting to hit a kid with your car? Don't do it in public. Don't threaten people either. None of these kids made her do any of the things she did. Those were all her own actions.
Filming someone in public is not the same as beating someone with a lead pipe. Are you insane? He was letting her know he wasn't going to sit there and let her take his property (cell phone, hoverboard). Even if someone is in the wrong, you don't have the right to take their property. If you stopped someone from drunk driving and you took their car home, that is theft.
Yes, people like the women in this video are ruining society. Also, please step down from your soapbox... It's not safe up there for you without your helmet

You say that as if this was the universal law of the universe. In Germany, for instance, you actually do have the right to your own likeness regardless of where you are. That's why you can get in trouble for focussing on individual strangers while filming in public. When you're not particularly focussing on anybody, it's different.
How about not wanting to be filmed at all and then have it put on the internet? But I guess everybody know has to deal with it because you kids cannot live without your surveillance equipment on you all the time.
And nobody claimed otherwise, honey. Re-read what I actually wrote until the implications are clear.

This was not filmed in Germany. Moot point.
Do you know how many cameras are filming public areas in America? Lots of cities have cameras on every street corner. Tons of businesses have security cameras. And by the way, a cell phone is not "surveillance equipment".
Using "reductio ad absurdum" like that just makes you look like a complete moron.

Wow...I start by saying that society is crazy for allowing this, then get the response that it is allowed (duh that was my point to begin with), give an example of a better alternative and then get shut down by "moot point".
Ok, so I guess all arguments against, let's say, torture are also "moot points" because the USA does it and if the USA does it, then it must be ok and therefore all arguments against torture must be moot points.
Surveillance by the state is a little different. For once, it's not uploaded to the internet for everybody to see.
Yep, it's worse because it has all the bad aspects of surveillance equipment but none of its benefits.
Throwing around little name insults makes you look very intelligent. You're obviously a person with an abundance of brilliance and charm.

A good alternative is the so-called German "Bildnisrecht".Taking pictures or videos in which another person is the main focus without his or her persmission should not be legal. Publishing such pictures or videos anywhere should be doubly illegal.
It's funny that the person who cannot even imagine a good alternative calls others shortsighted.

Its a public space and you do not have to give permission to be filmed. If you're at your front porch and someone is in the street they can still legally photograph or film you because you are in plain sight from a public space.
As to the woman's likeness being smeared across the internet, how about you not act like a lunatic in public? If you feel the kids are in the wrong call the police non emergency number and tell them to go check it out, from my experience cops are very enthusiastic to check out public complaints on groups of minors. Even if they are in the street, you're in a fucking car. Drive past them.

That's why you can get in trouble for focussing on individual strangers while filming in public. When you're not particularly focussing on anybody, it's different.
So the appopriate punishment for doing something ill-advised or embarassing these days is to have it forever pinned to a giant bill-board for the entire world to see. And it's the same punishment for those who don't even do anything bad but who were misrepresented by a recording out of context, or those who just don't like being filmed at all. Yep, that's totally "normal". Not insane at all. Seriously, fuck this generation.

no I say that because it happened in florida, not Germany, go somewhere else with that argument.
and i'm not saying what is and is not an appropriate punishment. If I was that kid, you bet I would be recording to protect myself. As other people have stated, if anything were to have happened, the kid(s) would have lost the he said/she said the event would have become without the recording. also, I think anyone trying to hit anyone on purpose with a car and losing their freaking mind in public is a lot more than just 'ill advised' or 'embarassing'.

It's 100% legal to film somebody in public, same with taking pictures.
She shouldn't have gone off on a 14 year old with full knowledge he is recording if she didn't want to be cast in a bad light.
Your "pipe property" arguement is flawed in so many ways. Filming someone with your property and beating someone with your properties aren't even in the same ballpark. Hell they aren't in the same baseball league.
He's entitled as shit to play out in a cul de sac with his buddies on his hoverboards, on public property. At least he isn't in sitting on his ass eyes glued to the TV.

I get this all the time and it starts to piss me off. Do people really not understand what logical equivalence is? No, filming somebody and beating somebody are not identical. I never suggested otherwise. What I said is that the supposed justification is ridiculous in both cases for the same reasons. The pipe example was an extreme case used to illustrate this. Denying a black person a job solely because he is black and beating a black person solely because he is black are also wrong for the same reason, i.e. racism. That obviously doesn't mean that beating somebody and denying somebody a job are the same thing. Why do I have to coach you through reading simple sentences?

Harassing is different than protecting yourself with video recordings. You think these kids were following her on foot, recording her? Physically taking someone's phone and breaking it can lead to a day in court for you on charges like battery, or worse. Walking away takes nearly no effort. Are you short tempered?

In the context of this video - this woman was harassed as she was driving away. Including, at the beginning of the video, a comment telling her the three of them would kick her ass if she wasn't a woman.
So yeah - in this particular situation, and not in some made up scenario to support your "in a perfect scenario" argument, I might've broken this kids phone, especially if the kids instigated this whole thing - and with the threatening things that were said at the beginning coming from the kids - that may well have been the case. Convenient it wasn't recorded!!
TheKLB ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 22:47:02 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Just think about that for a minute. Multiple times she backed up at the kid while he was standing behind her. WHY??? She is driving away! She had plenty of oppotunities to drive away and not argue with a little kid.
At :55 she gets incredibly aggressive in the way she is charging towards the kid. Again at 1:40, reverses towards him at 2:15, and also didn't stop at the stop sign at 4:17.
Anything that happened before the video is hearsay.
Yes, they were in the street, but it was a cul-de-sac. Me and my friends spent half our childhoods playing in the street. It doesn't look to be a busy street so that shouldn't be an issue.
Make up your mind. Do you want to talk about what was witnessed in the video or not?
You would have been 100% in the wrong to break his phone. I know if you would have broke my phone, I would have broke your face.

I'm just going off what is available to me in the video. Antagonizing someone that is threatening you does not mean you get to break their property.
I see how your brain works. A couple wires crossed.
Yells at kids to stop playing in street. Threatens them
Kids antagonize adult
Adult commits battery, destroys or steals property
Kid defends himself by throwing punch
Adult shoots kids
Unless I'm misunderstanding, please correct me.

The shooting bit wouldn't have been appropriate in this video - but were it me, and I were harassed (they instigate) and filmed, and I knocked the camera out of the kids hands and broke it and then they came at me, then I'd put them down, and justifiably so.

At the beginning, he was apologizing for whatever he and his friends did wrong, and the woman escalated the situation by not driving away from them, like a mature adult would do.

Let's not gloss over this kids behavior/demeanor. This kid needs a father in his life to kick his ass for being such a disrespectful little brat. He was purposely being a passive-aggressive little asshole. He needs to get flogged by a responsible parent once in a while.

Sorry if I might have read your original comment wrong! But the way you phrased yourself it seems like you meant literal asskicking and not just a verbal one.
And at least in my country violent parenting is frowned upon and illegal depending on how severe.

Well, I'm from Canada and I got the belt or wooden spoon or switch every single day, growing up. I look back at those times and I thank GOD for the parents I had, that kept me in line. If not for them, I'd have turned out to be a little scumbag....but no, I did not mean a "closed-fist, ass-kicking"....just corporal punishment and an ass-chewing.

That isn't as bad as what a lot of others are doing.
I'm a firm believer that you can get the same (and better) effect without physical punishments. I think I can say the same as you regarding my upbringing, but I never received physical punishment even once (neither did my 3 siblings).
Not saying you're a terrible parent or that your parents were, but science and experience are pointing to the fact that there are equally good or better ways to get kids that behave well when they get older.
Personally I don't ever want kids (luckily, neither does my GF) so my interest is purely because of curiosity.
On a different topic, I like Canada! I could easily see myself living there for some years. It's scary close to the US though. I feel safer here in Norway.

Well, given the immigrant situation in Europe, there's Nor-way I'd live over there! rimshot
...but to get to your point, I don't care what "science" (whatever science you are referring to...hopefully not psychology)...can say what it wants. Millenials are a PERFECT example of why kids should be spanked (not overly spanked), just spanked, when necessary....and this kid in the video is the poster boy for that. The reason so many teachers, et. al, are having a hard time in school, is because these little brats know they can't be touched. In my day, the teacher would leave your indentation in the locker....that's why we grew up with more respect for our elders and did more for our world and ourselves than millennials will ever do. There's a reason millenials get no respect from the older generations.

The immigrant situation is mostly in the media. I live in Oslo (the "worst" city) and you don't really notice it that much except for media and Facebook comments :p
I think you might need to watch this great video by Vsauce https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD0x7ho_IYc

I can understand her rage a bit. There was a kid that looked fifteen at the most.
He's blatantly swerving into traffic in my neighborhood, doesn't care and was obviously enjoying the reactions.
I ignored him and went around, the guy behind me gets out of his truck. He snatches the kids bike and tosses it in a pond next to the road. The kid yells, pulls out his phone and starts recording. The guy instantly snatches that and flicks it's next to the bike.
I knew I had to step in and do something, I pulled over and walked back to him, looked him straight in the eyes and shook his hand.

Technically, she was already assaulting him. Obviously the child doesn't know the difference between assault and battery ๐. Seriously though, the kid could have been a totally punk to her before he started filming, but it still wouldn't warrant this type of response from an adult.

That is false. They have an exception for places where they don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy where they might be overheard...the middle of a neighborhood qualifies for the exception since they literally had multiple people around hearing the entire thing.

This is what happens when stupid collides with stupid. The kid is antagonizing her but acting "polite" so he can post it online and come off as the good guy. He knows what he's doing. Every time she starts driving away, he says something he knows will reel her back in. She is also a complete idiot for obvious reasons. There were more than enough chances for both sides to walk away. Neither did. The only intelligent people in this video are the ones who kept their mouths shut.

This kid obviously handled himself better than she did but sometimes I think videotaping and posting videos like this should be illegal. They escalate the situation, not deescalate. If I was mad at someone and then they put a camera in my face, I think it would make me angrier.
People are stressed and living tough lives. Not sure putting it all in videotape helps. I'm guessing that's not a popular opinion here.

We are all social human beings. What I've found more and more is people's legal interpretations thrown at each other in an effort to win.
The kid, probably coached from birth on his constitutional rights with finger wagging creates an atmosphere of contempt for this lady. Saying have a nice day is a statement to diminish the situation for the watcher. The one with the camera controls what we see and hear.
What's the lady's back story to this altercation?

Some day after the young man gets his drivers license, he might look back at this situation and understand her frustration. And she needs to act like an adult in dealing with this situation, and especially not use such fowl language towards this young man. Lady, you might feel better, but you just look stupid. You can't win this argument.

"I don't have to yield!"
Bitch yes you do! Idk what states still allow you to not yield to pedestrians (in sure some don't care).
But in Colorado, if you don't yield to a pedestrian (which always has the right of way [from what I remember, it's okay to correct me]), you could be looking at some serious legal problems in your life.
I've hear Texas isn't exactly pedestrian friendly but I can't say that is fact, simply hearsay.
Common decency, it's a cul de sac and not a thoroughfare, you need to respect the residents of small suburban areas.
Trashy thigh long generic tattoo, and broken headlight faรงade told me everything I needed know about her attitude and driving etiquette.
Yes the kid was snarky with his "Have a good day" lines, but he remained cognizant and aware of his actions.

Why in all of these videos of people having aggressive confrontations do people feel the need to constantly intersperse their arguing with 'it's my right' 'i have a right to' 'hey you need to respect my rights.' Shoehorning the phrase 'my rights' into the conversation 50 times isn't going make people magically agree with you.

What a disgusting cow. She literally doesent work and lives off the government. Wonder how her 1996 carolla got fucked up? Hitting other kids while eating her McDonald's? When this bitch dies of a heart attack or jetsky accident, not a single person will donate to her funeral costs. Of course she doesent have family and can afford it. Look at her. Look at her car! Look what she's spending her time doing right now? Trying to hit kids because they're playing in the street. Clearly no job, no family, and OBVIOUSLY no boyfriend or spouse. Maybe she killed herself already? Nah, the she would have to take responsibility for her own actions.

The whole point is the adult in this video SHOULD be the bigger and more mature person. Yet the adult acted more immature and child like than the 14 year old did. If you think that is the appropriate reaction then I pray you never have children.

Yeah I'm SUUUURE the kid just went up to simply give a nice little apology and she answered "Fuck you". That little shit was clearly doing his best to provoke her, hoping for a reaction.
Edit: Here's how things should've gone down. He should have sincerely apologized, she should've answered either "It's okay" or "Fuck off you little shit", whatever she feels like. No matter what, he should've just answered "Yes ma'am".

Well it sure wouldn't surprise me if they'd steal the car. These are American kids we're talking about after all, with apparent zero sense of morality, who shoplifts, steal cars and break into homes. And then the adults say it's just a "phase". American parents have no fucking balls and treat their kids like they're always little innocent snowflakes who are never at fault.

pretty sure by not cussing back or escalating the situation, these kids have at least a little bit of a sense of morality. where are you from where kids are just going to toe the line every time? North Korea?
rafner ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 18:06:18 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Kids are not going to "toe the line" (whatever that means) every time, because they're kids, and kids are usually like slightly retarded adults (because they simply don't know better). I mean adults can also be stupid, but we can almost always assume that they were even more stupid as kids.
What annoys me here is that this kid is celebrated for being an annoying little shit. In America in general, kids seem to get in way less trouble when they act like morons. Often with the fucking "it's just a phase" excuse. Well put an end to that phase then!
As a kid, if the neighbour came over to my dad and said "your son has been doing this and that and I don't like it", my dad wouldn't go "HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT ABOUT MY BEAUTIFUL LITTLE SON?!", he'd make me apologize.
And I grew up in northern Sweden.

She tells him to fuck off with that, and when he starts mouthing off at her you're saying that he's "questioning authority"?

Yea lets just listen to every crazy bitch that tells us what to do. Just because someone is older than you doesn't mean they're in the right. They're in a neighborhood, maybe you never had a childhood or maybe you just stayed inside and played with legos all day and had no friends so you don't know, but kids play in the street in front of their house when living in a neighborhood. Shes an adult and should fucking act like one. Its sad when a 14 year old is acting more reasonable and mature than some 30 year old lady. And they have every right to film, especially when an adult is being unreasonably aggressive towards them.

Man, if I thought someone might actually "wanna go" with me, I'd film too, in case I ever needed it. Some of the people in this thread are evidence enough that there's an incredible bias against kids, in general. No attention paid to who's actually being the adult.
xparanoyedx ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:10:03 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
It pisses her off because she knows shes acting immature. The only time people ever have problems with being filmed in these situations is when they know they are in the wrong and are acting crazy. The kid has every right to film, because as he stated they are in a public space, not on private property. Call me disrespectful all you want, but if i was 14 and was in this kids position, i would have done the same thing. I certainly would not have listened to some crazy lady who i have no clue who she is try to tell me what to do and act like my parent just because theyre older than me. Should the kids have just walked away? Sure, but theyre kids and dont think about these types of things. But she is a grown ass adult and should have the mental capacity to collect herself and see the situation for what it is and go on with her day. If she does this kind of stuff to a bunch of 14 year olds playing in the street in front of their house, then its certainly not the first time she has acted like this and probably has problems with her temper. Shes a child and deserves to be treated as such. The idea that age means you deserve respect is ludicrous. Proper manners and being a decent human being wards respect. But until you show me that, i dont give a fuck about your age.

i think he filmed her for being a crazy bitch so if she did anything illegally violent he had proof of it. people do this all the time. but arguing that people shouldn't do things they legally can do because there is a chance you could unintentionally incite someone else to violently attack you seems like a non sequitur, don't you think?

Based on your logic, everyone in the world should convert to Islam immediately because clearly we are provoking religious extremists into attacking our countries. it is simply common sense to avoid this shit by simply converting to their religion. I hope you are on your way to a mosque now.

Or, he could have put his phone away and she might have assaulted him for it. She threatened to throw his phone in the gutter. That likely means putting hands on the boy, also the "your parents should beat you!" Implies she wanted to hit him. The kid tried to walk away. He actually starts turning around the first time she speeds up to the stop sign. She comes back. She's the adult. She should know better

He didn't just repeat that. In many different ways, in the middle of a very emotional situation, he articulated to her what they each were and were not allowed to do. He filmed it because she is exactly the type to make false accusations. Very few people can keep their heads straight in a fight-or-flight situation. He avoided the situation escalating into violence while not letting her get away with her bullshit. I have two teenage kids, and think his parents should be proud.

She wasn't crazy, she was just a raging bitch, and the kid needed evidence of that in case he was assaulted or run over. Don't excuse her bad behavior by saying she was provoked or crazy. She had every opportunity to walk away, she was just trying to pick a fight.

We really need new laws around the world. Dumb enough to engage an adult in confrontation, dumb enough to be beaten, shot, run-over, taken out of the worlds collective misery.
It's not like she woke up and thought about having a go at a 14-year old, she was just driving, and they came to her causing trouble, then continued to cause trouble.
All the adults feeling sorry for this kid, you are the reason cops shoot kids. Your kids do not deserve to live. If they are so stupid they care more about finding ways to twist their rights to harass and annoy others, they should rather simply be put down so the rest of us don't have to put up with them.
To Quote the kid at the beginning
Honestly, you think it's alright for a 14-year old kid (only one of them actually seems anywhere near that young) to talk to a woman like that? That is literally how the video starts. No wonder she swears at him.

The media demonizes teenage boys. That's wrong! Most of the stories in the press are about crimes committed by "hoodlums" or "cutaways" or even "louts." Do you know that three inner city kids watched a young man drown? It was a huge story. These bastards filmed this man drowning and they were literally laughing their heads off. Very bizarre stuff. So it's nice to hear a feel good story once in a while. But this isn't it. These little rapists are terrorizing this woman for no good reason. They're vagrants who need to get off the street and get jobs for Christ's sake. Stop pretending like they're articulate. They're stupid losers. Oh and by the way, their jobs should be cutting grass or flipping hamburgers. Their not future rap stars or basketball players. Their bums.

Haha. Curious that we don't see any of the video from before she gets angry at him. Having known plenty of 14 year old boys, and having been one myself, I really doubt he's the innocent victim in all this. Everyone here's talking about how he handled himself really well. No he didn't. He was being a douchey little cunt most of the time who occasionally calmed down and sounded more reasonable than the woman but at no point was he "surprisingly intelligent". Considering one of the first things we hear in the video is the guy's friend making a remark suggesting he wanted to assault the woman, no one should have sympathy for, or side with, this guy or his friends. The woman had every right to confront people who initiated remarks of violence.

Well, give me a scenario where her response to these kids would be considered understandable? She mentions "you guys were in the road" and nothing else.

I don't think her response is understandable or justifiable. She overreacted. My point is the kid and his friends weren't being the polite and upstanding citizens everyone in the comments is treating them as, poor victims of an outraging woman. They overreacted as well. The first thing we hear is a guy saying he wishes the lady was a dude, presumably so he could... compare dick sizes? A minute later one of them spits on her car. Their behavior isn't defensible, and hers isn't justified. Everyone loses.

I agree. And as I recently mentioned, all of us have a moment or two where we weren't at our best (in public). We're just lucky it wasn't caught on video. I don't feel bad for this woman, but I can't say I've never been triggered a time or two, myself. I hope I am smart enough to simply shut up and back down when the camera comes out

Yeah, I think it being caught on camera is the only thing that sets this apart. I've lost my cool before, and I've certainly witnessed others losing their cool, but I'm not aware of these events ever being caught on video and posted online to immortalize a few brief minutes that people would rather forget. I think with any memorable public encounter, if it goes a certain way we extrapolate a much larger picture of that person in our mind and think that specific encounter represents the quality of their person. Especially if it's caught on camera.

And you need some third grade grammar lessons apparently.

FriendFace is mockery for Facebook. We dont have a 3rd grade in our country due to a superior educational system (One that doesnt involve McDonalds breakfasts and a shooting massacre every 3 months).
It bothers me how cowardly and scared the online community is. The modern day witch hunts are uneducated but full of people who are up their own asses and think the world needs them.
In a world of propaganda, people still believe what the person before them said. Even the Russians got you all to vote Trump... i mean wtf you doing???

That wasn't fighting for you, that sub is where people make fun of people who say they'd do something drastic or violent.

Reddit defends 14-year-olds.
Doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

Because every party has a perspective in a dispute, and without a proper defense not every perspective is given its due consideration.
Also, she is not an "old" woman. But then again, it's completely unsurprising that anybody older than a teenager is considered "old" by reddit.

This guy is an ace and bitching and moaning. No wonder you're all the way down here haha. Your opinion is noted yet wrong. Buh bye.

My opinion is that it is not surprising to me that Reddit supports the 14 year old.
If youโre suggesting that I am wrong then tell me why I should be surprised.

She might be a bitch, but he doxed her (license plate is visible), recorded her in a public space without her consent. This is illegal in Florida where I assume this took place based on the license plate.
He could get in big trouble.

No it's not. You have no reasonable expectation of privacy in public places. Stop trying to spread your dumb false facts.

Are you sure?

Literally every link you posted doesn't support your argument. He didn't sell the video, he didn't secretly record it, and he's not trying to sue her so I don't know why you would post a link about it being inadmissible in court anyway. Are you sure?
Schekelstein2 ยท -2 points ยท Posted at 17:33:24 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Let me explain, Florida treats recording of any conversation as illegal if no consent is given. California is very similar.
Tsugo ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 18:01:54 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
No, let me explain, this isn't illegal. Are there illegal things happening? Yes. The kids are basically loitering/jaywalking (I guess), the lady stop her car in the middle of the road, and then makes two other traffic violations by slamming her car in reverse. The kid had every reasonable right to record her. She came at him in a threatening manner. When what she should have done is just call the cops and say he these kids keep crowding the street can you do something about or talk to their parents. It's a wash man. This video isn't illegal the kid recorded probably cause he was ass but you could argue he legit thought that lady was going to do something to him. You're wrong.

You completely miss the point, recording and publishing the recording on youtube is illegal in Florida without consent of the people being recorded.
If the kid thinks she did anything illegal he should hand the recording to the police, not post it on youtube.

Already posted sources, but I understand they are hard to digest legal writing so no one actually reads them.

Obviously he can't. Recording a crime is legal. You need to get a better online degree in law
Schekelstein2 ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 17:03:51 on July 23, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I he believes a crime took place, he should hand the recording to the police, not post it on youtube.
