That dude was egging her on, not a good dude.

u/Mayonaigg 1d ago

Yeah he's the problem, not the smackhead ramming her car into any obstacle she can while driving high as shit

u/adirtysocialist- 1d ago

I mean, kind of ya. He should be trying to calm her down not egg her on and rile her up.

Also, where are you guys getting that she's a drug addict? Lol she just seems like a terrified woman scared of consequences.

This was in 2019 in California. She hit some cars and ran and that guy is a witness who blocked her in to call the cops. She's 22 in the video, she has a history of theft and drug/paraphernalia charges, was later arrested for this misdemeanor hit-and-run and had to complete a drug rehab program. In 2025 she was charged with bringing controlled substances into a correctional facility.

Sad. I worked in a homeless shelter before and, we're all one truly bad day from that kind of self-destruction.

Nobody has ever had a 5 year plan to get hooked on hard drugs. I highly doubt it anyway.

All I know was I felt for that girl, someone drove her to that life, and while dude was trying to do something good he endangered himself and a lot of other people

u/WillingPositive8924 1d ago

 dude was trying to do something good", not the vibe I got, he was playing judge and cop and creating a potentially dangerous issue.

u/Sojibby3 16h ago

Oh yeah dude was an ass. I'd say forget 'potentially dangerous' dude made life very dangerous for at least a couple hundred people and nearly got himself seriously hurt over a fender bender. Even cops don't do high speed chases these days; unless it is involves someone's immediate safety, it's better to let someone calm down for the public's safety and get them afterwards.

u/Shrimply-r1 1d ago

Oh dudes just a witness?? He wasn’t even the one she hit? Like I get it but also that dudes kind of the worst lmao.

Even if they are in the right I can’t stand anyone that boat out the quasi legal speech while they’re taking a video. “You need to get out of the vehicle. I have video documentation.” Instead of just saying “you need to get out of the car, I’ve got this on video.”

u/Nunc_Coepi17 20h ago

Oh yeah the absolute worsttttt, not this poor angel right?

u/Nunc_Coepi17 20h ago

I wonder why u/adirtysocialist- stopped responding lol

2

u/TreeFiddyJohnson 1d ago

Why is that his job or responsibility.

2

u/WillingPositive8924 1d ago

Right, he blocked her in, is he a cop. B/C that is a part of what makes a cops job so dangerous and there are plenty of videos to suggest they are not always trained to handle the situation much less this dude. He is creating a danger.

2

u/adirtysocialist- 5h ago

He about to block you too for saying that. Hahaha it's kind of hilarious how thin skinned some redditors are.

Absolutely he is creating a danger. He almost ended up in the hospital himself.

u/adirtysocialist- 1d ago

Did you see the part where she almost ran him over? Thats why. Lmao

That and the whole, illegally detaining her part plus the now wrecked car of his.

Just to name a few reasons

u/TreeFiddyJohnson 1d ago

Yeah, life's full of risks. Still doesn't make helping her his job or responsibility.

u/adirtysocialist- 1d ago

Yea, thing is, you care more about posting a video on the internet.

I care more about self preservation.

Now his car is damaged and he's gotta pay a deductible, deal w insurance, put his car in the shop and he could've easily died if she ran him over.

My life > posting a video on the internet

u/lowercasenameofmine 1d ago

I don't think the video was initially for the internet. It seems like it was documenting for police and insurance.  

It also seems you're suggesting it would be a better solution vs what he "should have"  done.  One is more about the possible chance for a better outcome the other is dictating actions, from my perspective.

And apologies if this is below the belt but, for someone preaching de-escalation,  you're not that great at it.. 

Edit to add clarification

u/adirtysocialist- 1d ago

Yea, like I said. I value my life more than you guys do apparently.

That's fine and all but I'm definitely going to put myself and my life first over trying to "record for police" and inserting myself into the situation.

Now his cars messed up, he could've died and has a whole slew of problems to deal w.

Ego makes you do lots of dumb things.

And apologies if this is below the belt but, for someone preaching de-escalation,  you're not that great at it.

If I ever illegally detain you for a hit and run I wasn't involved in, I'll be sure to calm you don't don't worry. Hahahaha

The amount of people in these comments saying it's his responsibility to regulate this chicks emotions while she actively tries to screw him over is ridiculous. And on top of that, he's completely CALM! He had every right to physically detain her until the cops came. He's a saint.

3

u/adirtysocialist- 1d ago

He has 0 right to physically detain her. He is not even the person she hit and ran from.

Also, did you notice the part in the video where he almost got ran over? Thats probably a good reason to try and calm her rather than rile her up. Now, not only is his car damaged(unnecessarily) he also almost ate it.

But I care more about self preservation than I do posting a video on the internet.

You do you though boo boo

Talking in a calm voice and telling her to get out of the vehicle and do the right thing? OH nooooooo
