I agree. The cops should have felt sorry for him cause he is in a wheelchair and let the poor old man stab one of those brutal police officers. Then he could continue to abuse the daughter.

1. Not many complaints from me on how the cop acted, have to give - "ya had to be there" some credence.

2. More disturbing to me is "the crew" here laughing at the poor sod. My qualms however are based on the concept of laughing when the guy is down, rather than him actually being down and getting zapped. Stupid is as stupid does.

3. We have all laughed at another’s pain, perhaps it's conceit on my part to think we should all feel a little guilty about it. I just wish we lived in a kinder gentler world and did not champion violence.

4. This tape should not be considered "entertainment", it may however in my opinion be considered informative. That is to say; watch what happens when you don't do as the cop tells you. Don't be that guy - for your own good.

I don't know what you're getting at.

"Don't be that guy" is damn right.
I don't find the Jackass movies funny, though, so I'm missing that humor gene.

How convenient. I guess you're lacking the grapes to post it here? If I went there would I even find the link? Doubtfull....

You're all talk unless you can back it up.

This was your original statement, you still haven't provided proof that anyone was shot solely for being drunk.

Maybe reality is actually your Kryptonite.n

Are you kidding me? Videos like this are HUGE business. Haven't you ever seen America's Funniest Home Videos?

Just think what this police department could buy with the Prize Money...

Exactly. I believe most of "the crew" here is not "celebrating the violence" of the video as you claim, but rather laughing at the guy's complete stupidity. Like it or not, Blatant Stupidity = funny most of the time.

I don't have to post crap to prove a point. If I did you'd just flame on like a troll. So by not posting it works even better. I don't make **** up. If I said I posted it once, then I did, take it to the neocon bank.

Can't imagine it's the 1st time anyone has asked Red to prove himself. Been down this road with 'ol Red. I like the I'M A MAN OF MY WORD crap he's gassing now.

After all, he never seeks proof himself - why would he comply now? (UFO time travel wierdos / conspiracy theorists close Red all day long)

rjp

PS - if you need a new home Red I found you a nice place next to BOB for $25k....

PSS my 911th post! heh heh.

PSSS " I DON'T MAKE **** UP" - now that's the funniest thing I've seen here in weeks! -

He isn't a poor sod, he is an idiot. Any pain he received was entirely his doing. Sometimes being stupid hurts. That being said, there are many much more entertaining videos out there.

Personally, I find videos of idiots causing themselves pain (directly or indirectly) a fricking riot. Seeing a moron intentionally do something stupid and hurt themselves is entertainment at it's finest.

These are not accidents, these are not victims, they are assclowns, purposely doing what assclowns do, and running tape to save their assclownery for posterity.

Here are a few examples,

Idiot bodyslaming (willing) moron off a roof.

Moron hits golf ball into idiot friend

Dumbass picks a fight with the wrong woman

Moron fills a melon with gas, ignites it and hits it with a bat.

Rocket scientist on bicycle towed behind a van tries to jump to roof of 2 story building

Brain surgeon tries to rollerblade off a roof.

Einstein sticks his head in a gator's mouth

Any of hundreds of videos of sportbike riding squids doing wheelies/stoppies/stupid **** on public roads and crashing, like this one.

No video, but honerable mention goes to the guy who stuck a monster bottle-rocket between his butt-cheeks and lit the fuse. Luckily for us, his friends had a digital camera.

Launch Position, Fuse burning, Ignition, Aftermath

No, If you post the link, I will gladly admit I was wrong.

But we know you can't post the video, because you made it up. It's OK, you can admit it. We all know.

I have to state up front that I've watched only the video above. I choose it based on the title, as it seemed to be the only one which took two people to tangle, verses a self iinflected stupid act.

Even in this video I see only horor...............children watch adults resolve conflict through violence, police driving by and doing nothing........... and it all starts with a man sitting against a fence being pulled up into a fist fight and knocked around because his pride won't let him quit. Since we don't know what happened before the camera was turned on, I feel that somehow this is presented as entertainment for the lusting sake of meaningless violence- hail the victor, hail the galdiator champion.

The crew here is pretty sick to consider this kind of stuff entertainment. I would expected this on a Mustang or Trans-Am forum, not here.

Perhaps I should take the light hearted path "SoCal911SC" choose:

However, someone has to tell "the crew" they are wrong. I don't wish to be the who spoiles the party, but the voice of reason must be heard.

Edited for content. Graphic personal attack removed. -Z-man. If I wanted to make up stuff I'd say crazy stuff like 'freedom is on the march in Iraq', or 'Saddam had links to Al CIAda (in his web browser)'

There are plenty of cops blowing people away vids on the net. Don't you know how to google?

Ok, I am really getting fed up with all these personal attacks.

Thread will be closed with the next personal attack.
