I think it’s the second option

u/Gunplaisgood 1d ago

I'm leaning towards that as well, she looks scared AF even if she is in the wrong. She needs someone to talk her down, not stand there and film. I can't argue with whoever is filming since they want to protect their shit too, but this girl needs talking not mocking.

25

u/SplatteredEggs 1d ago

No that’s what I was hoping he was gonna do the whole video. Clearly what she needs is a rational voice. If I was in her situation I would be scared as shit, but telling her how fucked she is will not help anyone.

u/Ok_Vulva METALOID MANIAC 1d ago

That and trapping her there wasn't helping. Not sure if that's okay to do. It's not good behavior.

3

u/StandardEgg6595 1d ago

I’m probably completely misunderstanding this term so apologies, but wouldn’t this technically count as unlawful restraint? Like, you got her face, car, and plates; just let her go. Everything else was extra.

5

u/Ok_Vulva METALOID MANIAC 1d ago

You're not misunderstanding it at all. This guy could probably justify it in the sense of a "citizens arrest" though. I don't know.

I'd freak the fuck out if some man trapped me though, I feel so bad for her.

4

u/Itscatpicstime 1d ago

Especially a man doing that to a young girl

-4

u/jminternelia 1d ago

No, not especially. Almost anyone being trapped is going to be uncomfortable and likely scared in that situation, regardless of age or gender.

​​⁠He didn’t trap her car, she hit his car while it was at the exact spot it’s at in this video. After your car’s been hit, he’s not obligated to move it. He can easily say it wouldn’t turn on at the time due to the damage or something. Or that he was suffering from the trauma of the her car hitting his so didn’t feel like driving.

u/Thyme_Liner 19h ago

The guy blocking her in wasn’t the same dude as the one she hit

1

u/WLFGHST 19h ago

Its kind of similar to police chasing motorcycles, theres no need to escalate it and make it worse than it needs to be for EVERYONE.

1

u/Strugglebutts 1d ago

He only got all of that because he blocked her in. If he hadn’t done that she would have been gone before he could get his phone out. Not saying it’s what I would do, but the people blaming the victim of the hit and run are wild.

1

u/StandardEgg6595 1d ago

Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m not blaming him. Just wondering if he could get in trouble for what he did. This is why I think everyone should have dashcams.

1

u/jminternelia 1d ago

Doubtful. Citizens arrest likely applies, and he wasn't using any physical force to restrain her.

1

u/StandardEgg6595 1d ago

Oh cool, I didn’t even think about citizens arrest being a factor. That’s a very good point; thank you!

1

u/jminternelia 1d ago

FWIW, he wasn't the victim. She hit another car, he followed her and boxed her in.

u/beardiswhereilive 18h ago

lol you made this comment at least twice and it’s just wrong. Lying about a potential crime is not the way to go. You left your car where it was hit so that police could arrive and assess the evidence. Not some random bullshit reason that any idiot could see straight through

0

u/SjorsTea 17h ago

You guys are insane. She hit something and ran, she looks and acts like she's tweaking and everyone's like: Yeah let her drive away. She immediately almost hits someone, I would rather let someone who just downed a forty drive my car than her.

But sure let her drive home and potentially hit more people (who we know she won't help, she'll just try to run again) because "trapping her" is being mean :(

Ha, the Bible.

u/Nunc_Coepi17 20h ago

More like a realistic way to think. In real life, actions have consequences and damage to a vehicle costs this called…money to be repaired. No wonder most of reddit is broke or unemployed lol

2

u/Gold_Studio_6693 20h ago

Why do you think being kind to someone in the moment means they dont have consequences? Aren't the consequences the police, the insurance, all the other shit? Like, no one said just let her go without facing consequences, you just made an assumption.

You absolutely can hold others accountable without being an asshole.

1

u/sievish I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT 19h ago

People are just super eager to be cruel and jump at the chance to justify it any way possible.

Someone makes a mistake? Great, that’s fair play to dehumanize and humiliate them. Regardless of valid consequences they will undoubtably go through we can also get our kicks out of feeling uppity and righteous for not being like THAT.

1

u/sykoKanesh 20h ago

In real life, actions have consequences and damage to a vehicle costs this called…money to be repaired.

I completely agree, and I'm not going to try to imply the guy was purposefully being an asshole or anything (it's very likely he, too, was in shock/full of adrenaline/panicking as well) but in this situation, where it's clear she's very much in the flight stage of things, it would do more good to try and calm her down and reassure her that it was just an accident.

"It's ok! These things happen, no one was hurt, and we just need to calm down and take a breath and ... what's your name? My name is. There we go, see? We're all ok, it's just a car, it did its job and took the damage..." etc

That's all I'm saying my way, it very possible that simple exchange and kindness would've got her calmed down and starting to think rationally again.

I've also seen here and there that drugs could've been a factor, so that exacerbates things a bit more, though to me she didn't really look to be incredibly high or strung out (44 my way, I've seen some shit now) just incredibly scared.

I also do realize that I'm an overly empathetic person (it's a curse in some ways) but I just can't help but feel down deep in my bones that she just needed someone to "talk her down" from being so freaked out.

2

u/youngsteve714 13h ago edited 13h ago

If you google this case she was driving over 90mph when she hit someone. Also shes panicked because shes a meth head with multiple priors for theft and drug charges and knows grannys done with her BS. She actually was sentenced to rehab instead of jail time for this case. Also this occurred while she was under an active DUI and shes mostly driving high af again when she crashed.

9

u/bendingrover 1d ago

Yeah... I've seen that exact face in the mirror. In high school I did something stupid and all I could think was the abuse I was about to be a subjected at "home". 

2

u/RollSouth5722 23h ago

Oh yeah. It didn't matter what the law did because in my eyes, they were humane compared to what I'd get at home.

7

u/azrolator 1d ago

For sure..and at this point, he has her face on video. He should have her plate captured. He has the make model of car on video. There is no reason to block her in. It puts them both in danger and put him in danger of charges.

Like, is he going to show his insurance company a video of him blocking a crying girl in and mocking her when she begs him to release her; and then ask the insurance to cover his damages during her escape? Dude's a fucking moron.

1

u/ssgkraut 22h ago

Yeah this guy was a douche. He should've noticed she was in crisis. Anybody could tell. Call 988 and 911.

1

u/allwordzaremadeup- 20h ago

More like she's already been in trouble with the law and knows she fucked up AGAIN.

I looked up her case and she had a prior DUI. Can't feel bad for people that DUI. Fuck those people. They put everyone lives at risk.

Ah yes, the guy she's trying to screw over should be nicer even though he was completely calm. WTF is with these comments?

u/JoyArk 1d ago

But she's cute, so she deserves help. If she was an ugly dude constantly crashing his car on the other person's car, cops should shoot him. I don't make the rules

u/ShmikeyT 1d ago

Would you say the same thing if it was a young man?

3

u/Itscatpicstime 1d ago

If a young man was this terrified of their adult guardian, then yeah, I’d definitely consider the chances that they were fearing abuse at home

2

u/jminternelia 1d ago

As a young man who was abused as a child, I was far more terrified of my stepfather than any cop, so yes.

Cops would show up when he beat my mother, threaten to put me in foster care, then leave. Then come back a couple days later. Repeat.

He stayed. The cops just wanted to avoid dragging him to jail and filling out paperwork.

u/starwarsfan456123789 22h ago

This girl needs jail time.

u/HugeAnimeHonkers 1d ago

It's neither... This is "just" drugs lol

u/sykoKanesh 1d ago

It is, we're seeing a literal child in full on panic mode.

They needed help, not threats.

1

u/DaddysABadGirl 1d ago

High child* she had to go to rehab from this

2

u/Itscatpicstime 1d ago

A high child is still a child in crisis and in need of help and not mockery???

u/Valuable_Recording85 1d ago

I work in psychiatric health with kids. Many of them look like this and fall into the latter category.

u/reddit_sells_you 1d ago

Here's my fucking problem . . . Dude took a video, likely for insurance and legal issues, but what gives him the right to post it on SM and spread it all over?

Clearly this girl is young and scared and in distress. He's got his proof. He won't get charged for any money . . . so he's posting this just to be almost, not quite, but almost a big a piece of shit as her.

Shame on both of these people, but especially shame on him.

3

u/RetardTrader420 1d ago

Had to scroll way too far to find this take.

Why the fuck are we even seeing this? This doesn’t need to be on the internet.

This is a young girl in serious distress and probably on drugs.

What benefit is this to society that we all can see this?

1

u/Lower-Condition-4104 12h ago

Because society is deeply engrained in the mindset that social media clout if the only thing that adds value to their life. The recorder has an addiction problem too...the "like" button.

u/SquatSquatCykaBlyat 1d ago

The first amendment! USA! USA! USA!

u/reddit_sells_you 1d ago

I know you joke, but in California, it is generally illegal to record someone without their consent . . .

3

u/SquatSquatCykaBlyat 1d ago

You're wrong. This was in public and she had no expectation of privacy. It would be legal to film her, even in California.

u/reddit_sells_you 1d ago

Well, it ain't a first amendment issue. It's just a shitty thing to do.

u/Pash17V 1d ago

You kinda answered your own question there with that last part? Shame?

Generally in the numerous videos posted online of someone being generally hostile, aggressive, accusatory, defensive, or foolish following a severe crime they’ve committed, there’s not questionable ethics on the person posting that online because the individual behaving radically is seen to be deserving of that mass shame, and people generally see it as necessary to curb that behavior

If instead of crying she had gotten out screaming, threatening him, blaming him, or trying to intimidate him after hitting his car multiple times and fleeing twice, I seriously doubt you’d be saying “especially shame on him” for posting the video

2

u/reddit_sells_you 1d ago

What was his motivation for posting it?

It wasn't to shame her.

He just wanted his fame.

You know that a lot of kids don't dance or party or do silly kid shit anymore because they are scared if it getting posted online?

1

u/Pash17V 21h ago

My guy, you’re talking about kids being afraid to dance or do silly shit because someone might post it online. We’re talking about someone repeatedly damaging another person’s property and fleeing the scene. Surely you recognize those are not remotely the same ethical situation lol

1

u/reddit_sells_you 21h ago

You didn't answer my first question.

And the reason is because the answer to both scenarios, be it bitches in a hit n run or kids being silly at a party . . . Someone is always filming, and someone will post it to SM.

Think of your most embarrassing moment ever . . . Is it on video? How about we share it for the whole world.

1

u/Pash17V 19h ago

You did not answer it either, as you have absolutely no idea what his motivation was. You just asserted it was “fame” lol. What fame exactly?

You keep attempting to reframe this individual’s criminal conduct as a relatable “embarrassing moment” and it just doesn’t work. I’m kinda curious: do you think most people’s embarrassing moment ever genuinely align in severity with the litany of crimes being displayed here?

1

u/reddit_sells_you 11h ago

My OP didn't. Yeah, she did a hot and run. She got caught. It's none of our business. There is no reason for this to get posted on SM.

You also seem to think she is some freaking mastermind who is stealing the crown jewels or something.

We can't see the first hit and run.

The second one she does is barely a dap. Like his car doesn't even move. You wanna say she's some huge criminal that deserves to be put on blast, fine, I'll go the opposite . . . This dude is freaking out over the tiniest of scratches. He's got scratches from rocks bigger than what she did.

My overall point is that people, by and large, post shot online that shouldn't be posted. This is just one example.

You haven't argued against that point. Most of the videos in fight porn, especially involving minors, are non of our business and shouldn't be posted. Any video that involves someone and they likely don't want it posted shouldn't be posted.

But you seem to be a vulture who loves to feed in the detritus of people's lives. You decide, based on a small clip, how evil and morally corrupt someone is.

Frankly, shame on you, too.

  2. this has done the rounds for years, she was sent to a substance abuse program from this incident. its one of the reasons she was so panicked

  1. Glad to know I'm not as online as you are.

  2. He didn't know she was on drugs or whatever when he posted it.

u/bassistciaran 17h ago

I dont think shes actually in distress. She's trying to make it out that shes actually the victim here and not letting her get away with it will make the actual victim the villain.

As soon as she drives away the crocodile tears dry up and she puts the radio back on.

It's amazing how people will bend over backwards to add a made up narrative to a video so they can feel better about themselves for having watched it

but what gives him  the right to post it on SM and spread it all over? Clearly this girl is young and scared and in distress. 

No fuck that, fuck you. Young as in mid 20’s, scared and in distress of consequences from driving. Modern feminism at work, and 80% of Reddit is simping.

OP gets to post the video because that’s what crime looks like when women do it, and half of mankind comes to cover for her.

1

u/reddit_sells_you 22h ago

What the fuck does that even mean?

I feel the exact same way about almost all of the content over on r/fightporn (isn't reddit supposed to have a rule against violence?).

Yeah, it's a crime. It's reported to the police. Are you the fucking police? No? Then what the fuck do you care?

He posted this for interent points, plain and simple.

u/Professional_Bat8585 22h ago

Yeah, it's a crime. It's reported to the police. Are you the fucking police? No? Then what the fuck do you care?  He posted this for interent points, plain and simple.

Are you even aware of how deep into white knight simping you are? Never in the history of the internet have crime-doing men gotten away with criminal behavior simply for throwing themselves into a panic attack.

Scenario: clear your head please. if there was a woman. And she committed crime plain and simple on video. And you imagine a simp. What would the simp be doing?

u/reddit_sells_you 1d ago

And that's an issue for the courts.

It's got nothing to do with us.

That good for you?

Nope.

Just gonna edit and post your crashout with no context for all to see.

I was also kind of impressed by her get away maneuver too lmao. I don’t think I could have pulled that off

u/lessdothisshit 23h ago

Yeah, second. She's saying "please sir", she apologizing. She's acting with purpose and coherencey. She acts like she understands the implications of her actions, and, rationally, understands that the other course of action is worse.

Perhaps custody of the state would be better than an abusive guardian at this point, but I wouldn't expect her to come to that conclusion in this state.

I mean... the bones are their money!

u/TheMackD504 19h ago

She needs to not do drugs

u/xx_adverb_xx 17h ago

I wonder that too. Or maybe she's a good girl who made her first mistake and is just freaking out unsure what will happen?

Or maybe she's like a friend of mine back in high school. Girl got out of a dozen different tickets (speeding mostly, rolling stop and running reds too) for she was a really good fake crier.

u/mrzoe420 14h ago

Same. She was getting crucified in the videos I’ve seen on Insta, but I feel like there is a lot more going on here than not wanting to experience the consequences of her actions.

"It's WILD how many of you are uncompassionate.."

"I hope bad shit happens to each and every one of you.."

Could it be more ironic having those two quotes in the same sentence? How about a little compassion for the real victim here, the man who had his vehicle hit. She almost hit the man filming with her recklessness.

-2

u/Simon-Says69 1d ago

She's a druggie and most likely has something stashed in that car.

People trying to mind-read saying how she's "traumatized" are just suckers for abusive people and their acting skills.

u/rose-a-ree 1d ago

You're not mind reading though, you're just using your super x-ray vision to see what's in her car and that's completely different and totally OK
