Fucking beautiful when the community comes together. Fucking asshole...

Seems like we're I live in PDX except the walker will evil eye you even before you honk. How dare you drive on a road when I am walking>

right next to a sidewalk I refuse to walk on. I have seen people have to traffic because these morons cannot walk on sidewalks

I glad it didn't go any further than the shove with correcting dialog. Dipshits need correcting, not killing

Do stupid things earn stupid prizes
milkmyrod
Need to be careful. All it took was that (fuck knuckle's) head on the kerb edge and it's at minimum manslaughter...
thenaughtyseamonkey
Yeah true. Better to bear hug the guy, pick him up, and move him off the road
Evieling
the guy looks drunk, or on something. something about how he's walking just doesn't seem right.
thenaughtyseamonkey
He’s walking like he has a stick up his ass because he thinks he owns the road. I don’t think he’s drunk
someonesomewheresometimes
Violence is not the answer. It's the solution.
TreasonousCheeto
Threat of violence is an age-old societal constraint on behavior. If no one ever finds out, more will feel free to fuck around.
herrcane
Violence is the question. The answer is Yes.
retrostone21
It looks like he is about to go and start walking in the road again as the video ends.
Awomdy
Fyi, this is Melbourne, Aus. Ltl bourke st btw Elizabeth & Swanston. Its a pedestrian right of way all along the road. Hes still a twat tho.
UnhelpfulAnswers
I'm so glad someone did that

The right move is, drop into neutral and floor it. He'll get right out of the way

Fucked around and found out. Why would you even do that?

Ah Melbourne, Lt Bourke St. Yeah frankly not surprised. If your that big of a dickhead deserve a shove.

tankygirl049
It looks like he's about to go back into the street to continue walking.... videos that end too soon
nclu
And start too late
kiathedead
Agreed, Im curious what started him to walk in front of the car in the first place
GiddyKipper
Guarantee he crossed slowly, car beeped impatiently, and he decided to put-dick move him. I deal with drunk people constantly.
SleeperXib
That he goes back to it for the next car makes it harder for me to think he was provoked.
PlanckEraWasMyBestEra
Right?? I'm not convinced this guy was the original asshole. People in cars can be real dicks to pedestrians
vilikke
He'd be the original asshole to the innocent drivers after the first car though

However, I don't see any.
AFrugalMoogle
Yeah but it takes a real idiot to bring their body to a car fight.
Exdeath5000
Did he try to act like he was deaf at the end?
ojioni
Deaf people know better than to walk in traffic.
okbruh
No, I think he said " do you think I'm deaf?". Which suggests he knew exactly what he was doing. What a douche
YouEatYellowSnow
Yeah, must be blind too if he cannot not see the headlights behind him.
dorenavant
Cocksplat can’t even use headphones as an excuse.
Rookvlees
He knew exactly where he was walking
Wapusk
Can he use "fuck cars & car culture" as an excuse? If the issue is that horn is disturbing people, get mad at the guy that made THAT choice.
Fonepointfour
MrPowPow
Headphones are never an excuse. We have ears to help us navigate our surroundings not ignore them.
RideTheStimutacs
Except when a creep is hitting on a girl on the subway.
MrPowPow
The exception that proves the rule? I definitely want my headphones off so I can hear him. She should definitely put hers in.

Ya you'd see the lights behind you. You can see the asphalt. Guys just a twat
Rogahar
Fuck in most places I could tell from the way the ground feels underfoot that I was on road. Especially in urban centers like this it's >

Rogahar
> multiple senses just to satisfy his own douchey desire to walk on the fuckin road.

Well he obviously isn't blind, and he's walking down the middle of a street..
flarflarf
I'd wanna know the whole story before i agree this is justice
psmith00
I can't think of any jurisdiction where walking down the middle of the street like that would be legal. Happens often enough but not right.
MrSquiggle
fwiw in this case the walker was being an ass but that's not a road, it's technically a shared zone where pedestrians have right of way
psmith00
Appears not There is a separate sidewalk divided from the roadway by what appear to be bicycle racks. no actual curb but delineated. =>
psmith00
And the car didn't seem to be able to use the other path to get around the jerk.
flarflarf
i dont think itd be legal either but I can imagine situations where it might be justified.
Freedumbed
Is he deaf?
HuskyPirate
Sorry?
IceWeaselX
Doubt it. Even if he were, deaf people can still feel vibrations. A car honking that close would trigger danger responses.

Thought it looked like Melbourne!
louster
Lol, that makes all this anger in this post all the more insane. Wow.
BurnieCinders
It also happened at 2am. A driver being mildly inconvenienced while driving through a clubbing area doesn't warrant the guy getting clobberd
louster
It being 2am makes the horn even more obnoxious.
BurnieCinders
If anything the guy on the horn should be accosted, IMO. Looks like an uber anyway driving round at that time.
Tassyr
Why though?

Maybe the car honked at him earlier so he felt like being a knob was the mature response.
IxnayOnTheOttenRay
He seems super drunk to me
GlenL
Might just be me, but he seems to be walking like someone whose been drinking since noon
heirsasquatch
He’s part of the /r fuckcars subreddit and thinks annoying people in cars is activism

is this something you know or something that might be true
heirsasquatch
Oh I’m just talking out my ass. This is however somthing that the subreddit would champion. They really hate automobiles
Filanwizard
So some jackass from a Reddit forum thinks blocking the road is lulz. Someday someone will hit him on purpose or while distracted
CeoHuntingSeason
He doesn't think is funny in the slightest, he really thinks this will help the cause of creating more walkable car-free zones
AdrianDunne
Is this a pollution thing or just cars in general?
heirsasquatch
It’s a pollution thing, a city planning thing, and a cost thing. They don’t like how bad public transit is, and blame how society is built
heirsasquatch
To support the model of spread out city with cars. They want everything to be walkable and built around bikes. Lots of bike stans in the sub
CeoHuntingSeason
Yeah, he obviously should find a way to protest against cars that doesn't annoy car drivers!
heirsasquatch
CeoHuntingSeason
The most successful protests against discrimination of black people at coffee shops were literally to sit there anyway and take the heat
CeoHuntingSeason
Pretty sure the exposure of videos like this are the target, the driver who is getting late to work not that much
Waxilliam
If you are going buckle like a belt when a 110 pound kid puts the body on you then you should be smart enough to see it coming.
CantFocus123
The way he was walking, I assumed he was hammered. Probably barely keeping upright as it was.
MadamPuddifoot
You mean with a totally normal gait?
Waxilliam
"can't you see my headphones and cowboy boots?" "yeah, that's why you got hit."
tanebot
"If you gonna be weedy you gotta be smart."

Considering the guy he shoved was 130?

Considering he was doing something that deserved a hit, he should have been ready for it.

Show me someone who wouldn't fall over if a 110 pound person runs into you like while you're unaware of them coming.

That's not exactly a good example of buckling like a belt. Also not a good example of doing something you know will start a fight.

But even though it doesn't apply at all, I hadn't see the clip before and it's interesting so +1
chastidy

therealsarahconnor
Can confirm.
LadyNetrex
He did though :P
sylkysmooth
You can very clearly see he did not, in fact, fall over. He stumbled but stayed upright.
goodluckeverybodyelse
I mean your right but he was kicked into someone out of frame who couod have helped him or completely stopped him from falling
JeffGodofBiscuits
He earned it...
Velhalv
If more assholes found out like this, there'd be less fucking around.
Soufange
I'm on my couch watching this like "just hit him, just hit him, just tappy tap him, just fuckin BOOM, MOTHERFUCKER THAT'S WHAT YOU GET."
himisti
Not really. He was just making the driver go slow. Not really something to get violent about, just annoying as shit.
louster
I am farming downvotes today saying this. Good luck.
Himura82
It's not like they beat the guy up. I agree that he shouldn't be jumped or beaten, but don't have a problem with pushing him out the way.
w1k2
It’s not earned if the car was being an asshole earlier in the vid. I almost got hit by a truck without fault of my own and the driver was
w1k2
Livid. What an asshole
kbkrow
Could something have happened earlier? Maybe, but at some point someone needs to grow up. You are surrounded by sidewalk, and you are 1)
kbkrow
2) Not only being a nuisance to the driver but everyone behind him as well. The driver can't move from the road but the pedestrian can. Plus
kbkrow
3) If the driver does actually get mad enough to lose his temper, walker is f'd. Walker is dangerously close to the finding out phase.
thebabywhale1
There are cars behind that car tho so you'd be punishing them too for no reason
IAmTheBadW01f
Consider this: if the driver was a known asshole why would you risk getting run over?
porphyre1e00
Bingo. You're breaking the law (jaywalking) and being immoral (an asshole) yet trusting the driver will follow the law and be moral. WOW.
Dontstopbelever2000ismyfavoritesoap
Should be an "Oh C'mon" statute. Push a dude slowly walking in the street blocking traffic? Fine, makes sense
MasterMookie
Would not agree he could have fallen over potentially injured or die. What if he was deaf? Or what if the driver did something to deserve it
ImActuallyNeptune
If he was deaf he should still be able to understand he shouldn’t be in the middle of the road
MasterMookie
Still don't think violence is the answer. If it was an elderly person would it be ok to shove them? Fuck all you who think it's right.
terronium12
"What if he was deaf?" Really? Is he also blind, too? The fuck is he doing in the middle of the street if he's deaf? Especially if he's deaf
MasterMookie
His mental or physical state doesnt matter violence is for when violence is acted upon you. Just fuck off.
terronium12
But you're the one that presented this hypothetical state as an excuse. Does it no longer matter because you can't defend it?
MasterMookie
It was a hypothetical to get people to empathize with the person being shoved to the ground. It was attemptto make people think before they
Exdeath5000
I believe violence should always be a last resort, but I don't think this guy would have listened to reason if you tried to talk to him
XanZi
Turns out he was deaf.
raysilverscorpion
source? Looks like he hears the car, turns around and flips the driver off. watch the video.
IceWeaselX
Even a 100% deaf person would have felt that horn and moved.
IceWeaselX
(1/2) To the downvote: you clearly don't know how deafness works. It doesn't remove sense of touch. Deaf people still rely on vibrations.
IceWeaselX
(2/2) I have to stomp on the floor or knock on a wall when I enter a room as a warning or my deaf mom loses her shit when I suddenly appear.
MimirOfTheBifrostTeats
I agree. Sure the guy deserved it but if his head hit the curb and he died, the hoodie guy would've gotten involuntary manslaughter charges.
Teledabby
Thats why no one should video of such events. no proof.
IAmTheBadW01f
Mysteriously there were no witnesses who could identify him
kushcat
He could have run away after :)
steveohnoes
Don't worry that guy is so dense that the curb would have broke
Hyzenthlay021
Really not a joke. Have a friend whose son was killed when he fell and hit his head on a curb.
pnersvfu
Fell by being pushed for being a hackass or accident? Big difference.
SecondSince
Eh, just quickly become a cop and all you get is paid vacation...
Djoarhet
This exactly. The guy doesn't seem sober. Dropkicking his ass to the curb is dumb in many ways. But hey fuck communication, am I right?

Djoarhet
Would it matter if the dude goes flying head first into the curb? He could have gotten injured seriously. This is assault.
IamTOOOLDforThisShite
Looked like the vehicle was "communicating" with him.
sylkysmooth
Nah, he's walking right down the middle of that road in a straight line. At the very least he's still more than capable of better judgement
Djoarhet
So people downvoting me would resort immediately to violence instead of doing the normal thing and talk? Got it, thanks for letting me know.

For as long as I have been alive, roads are for vehicles and not walking. How does "the vast majority of human civilization" change that?
EndofDaisies
2/ expectation that roads are for vehicles & people aren’t entitled to walk in them is both recent & Capitalist-promoted.
louster
Particularly absurd when it's a parking bay by shops, not the middle of a busy road.
JeffGodofBiscuits
name the person that's been alive for the vast majority of human civilization, and I'll give them a pass.
TacoPoweredHelicopter
There was a sidewalk... It's like like he has no where to walk.
kbkrow
My problem with that is this: he has a place where he can walk, safely, where cars cannot go, on both sides of the street. 1)
kbkrow
2) the sidewalks are ample, with decent crosswalks, and the street has speed bumps where cars can't drive too fast. I live in a place w/
kbkrow
3) no sidewalks, where people have to walk as close to the side of a the road as possible, and people have died. F this guy.
louster
Fuck that. He was being a jerk but violence as a result of inconvenience is an awful take. How about the guy lay off his horn and stop -
MeestowKitty
Then you believe in a world without consequence for assholes.
louster
No: I believe in a world where consequences are proportionate.
porphyre1e00
As you point out, the consequences of the horn noise fall on more ears than the walker. What does the walker have against those people??
louster
The walker is not causing the horn. The man pressing the horn is causing the horn. Horns are not supposed to be used to express annoyance -
trayal
Inconvenience? Bullshit. Obstructing the normal flow traffic like that endangers others by potentially causing accidents.
louster
Are you kidding me? This is a parking bay with speed bumps, not a freeway.
louster
- deafening everyone nearby for no good reason? The kids clearly attacked the guy in the street to shut the horn up.
Exdeath5000
So they attack the walker, yell at him to have some respect, instead of the driver whose window was down. Interesting world you live in
Exdeath5000
2) Then let the driver go right by, and never say a word to him, or direct any anger at him. Yep 100% about driver / horn

Desperately trying to get forward. O4 a much more likely scenario. All those people who are being slowed and stuck could possibly loose-
zenoxomega
Their jobs or get reprimand for being late. All because Mr. DickHead has to walk down the road when he has sidewalks on both sides
louster
Also: do you realise this is a parking bay by the shops with speed bumps? You think an ambulance is going to come down here at speed?
louster
If you want to modify the situation to where it matters, yeah, it matters. In this situation, it doesn't. Simple.
zenoxomega
My interactions with you have been the perfect example as to why talking to the dick head who blocked traffic wouldn't work
ImActuallyNeptune
There is no way for you to know if it mattered, it’s always better to assume something matters than not, it prevents a lot of headaches

That saved the car maybe 2 minutes. I don't think hurting someone is worth saving 2 minutes. But maybe that's just me.

Nope. But that's OK. Imgur tends to shun violence from some, until they agree with the reason. Then it's A - OK.
louster
And like, there's plenty of justifiable reasons for violence. Self defense or defense of someone else, for example. But this is not one.
sambaah05
Exactly. Being annoying isn't a justification for violence.
OhWhoaDannyJoe
Agreed, idk why people think violence is an acceptable response. Could have seriously injured h8m. Classic, 2 wrongs, don't make a right.

Because you believe in a world without consequences for assholes.

Being annoying isn't a justification for violence in my book. That's fine if it is for you.
Exdeath5000
Maybe, just maybe, next time he thinks it is a good idea to be a dick, he will remember this incident and choose differently
sambaah05
Sure. But would still be assault if these guys got caught.
JustAlex94
In America that's illegal. Also illegal to not let people cross when it's a pedestrian crossing. Cause safety matters unlike you cunts.
JustAlex94
And I don't see a pedestrian crossing sign so the guy walking in the wrong place will get arrested if he continues like that.

It's not about the immediate situation. It's reminding the fucker that being an inconsiderate asshole in public has its consequences.

The consequences for those guys if they got caught would be assault charges.

If police had been present to arrest these guys they would have yanked the moron off the street themselves.

That is true. He committed a crime. But the other guys did too.

Then they won't be a law abiding citizen then. Recent updates to road rules mean bicycles have priority and they should ride center of lane.
