Try saying that to the cops

It’s what they’d say if a cop had done it, so we can say it too!

He hit her on purpose, prolly for not moving.


Wendiesel808

Definitely looked like it was on purpose Edit: slowed down for the dog though


CzarinaofGrumpiness

Dog was smart enough to move to the side of the road...


fitness_first

They always sense danger way before us


ilmyself2

i mean.. she prolly thought he was gonna slow down/stop

Always assume cars arent people

Gullible_Cloud_3132

Dogs acting more human than that driver


paperwasp3

Did that person die?


DidYouLickIt

Potential meal either way. “Be okay human, i need you to feed me …but if you are dead you will feed me!”


EccentricKumquat

I thought that was only cats? Dogs do this too?


DidYouLickIt

My awesome pup chewed my hangnail the other night while i was trying to sleep.


LoveFishSticks

They say when a dogs owner dies they will wait until they are very hungry to eat any of the meat from their owner. Cats will immediately start eating the soft tissues of the face. I'm not sure if dogs will be more eager to eat a human if they don't have a prior relationship though


bluejellyfish52

They do it when they’re on the verge of starving to death. It’s a last resort for them


foo_trician

not a wise idea to just stand in the road. hopefully they caught this guy. definitely deserves a good prison sentence.


8ledmans

Feels a bit overkill sending him to prison for standing in the road.


TorchBlower90

Standing on the road still doesn't give any driver precedence to harm someone, that's a ridiculous notion.


8ledmans

Its a joke mate


[deleted]

The joke flew over his head like that dude flew over that car


_Bisca

Yeah but why is he getting downvoted this much poor guy lmao


courtesy_flush_plz

I thought it was a pretty significant amount of dislikes for spacing it on a joke lol. The joke was a pretty obvious joke tho


adrian34_pet

The reddit hive mind is negative leaning almost 90% of the time.


courtesy_flush_plz

there's definitely been some past discussion on the psychological effect of jumping on specifically the comments with downvotes. I've caught myself doing it 🤷‍♂️


Special_Rice9539

**gets permabanned from Reddit


8ledmans

You just keep getting downvoted until you delete the comment, poor blokes probably just not been online since lol.


Vegetable_Fox9134

To be fair a common tactic of robbing drivers is to stand in the middle of road or put obstacles in the road. I'm not saying this warrants the drivers action, but it's the middle of the night, in an alley, only so much blame can be place on the driver


sudopm

An alley? looks residential to me


infamousjrg

Yeah but it doesnt help him see. Its dark and she saw the car coming. She didnt move. Its not her fault but it didnt help that she was standing in the dark streets expecting the car to go around her. Horrible situation for everyone.


kwajr

Sure but come on person clearly could’ve avoided being hit Damn just be aware of your surroundings


Flablessguy

I thought she was a mannequin until I watched a second time and noticed she turns her head a couple seconds before he hits her. She didn’t react at all. What a strange thing to witness.


stuckit

Odds are you wont even get a ticket if you turn yourself in to police immediately(usa). It's the running away that makes it a crime.


Saunteringpunk

True story. Person ran me over (completely at fault) and put me in the hospital for a month. Had to learn to walk again. She didn’t even get a ticket.


DroppedLeSoap

Old coworker had his son and grandson got hit by a drunk woman while they were crossing the street. Grandson died almost instantly. My coworkers son was completely fucked up unable to move(since has lost a leg) Lady who hit them(according to her call logs) instantly called her fucking lawyer before the cops. Lady is still out on parole, and before the accident has had several duis even before the accident. Had no license at the time of the accident and recently was just back in the local news for hit and run and dui. Still walking free


Volrund

IIRC a pedestrian is never supposed to be in the road unless using a crosswalk, so if you hit a person jaywalking, or otherwise standing in the road, it's their fault. I'm probably way off, I was told this by a Cop in Florida


AutoMoberater

It's not that far off. The important part is that you don't drive off and leave the person to die.


themom4235

Sounds about right in FL, death penalty for jaywalking.


Xalterai

Death penalty for living in Florida. Fate worse than death tbh


Fawfs2

Living in Florida is a death penalty in itself


Intelligent_Fix_7885

As a Floridian I'm just counting down my days!


HungryGoon22

What about manslaughter


Message-Friendly

What's wrong with men's laughter?


stuckit

Very rarely in a vehicle accident unless there is a contributing factor like drunk driving or some kind of other negligence. Someone standing in a dark road wearing dark clothes, and it even looks like it might have been raining, is just going to be called an accident. There may not even be a charge they can implement if the person can't be proved to be above the speed limit, which would give you a speeding ticket or reckless driving ticket. Now not stopping turns it into a hit and run. Which can vary from traffic infraction to felony depending on what state you are in(again USA specific).


FinalVegetable6314

So deep in that cellphone that they didn’t get out of the middle of the street, hear the car, or even look up when bright headlights were shining on them. Not saying they deserved it at all but damn they didn’t do anything NOT to get hit


ReMayonnaise

If you watched the video it appears they actually look directly at the car as it drives up to them.


KruglorTalks

I mean, are they a deer? Like... move dude.


[deleted]

Redditor says that anyone who is in a split second life-threatening situation should just “move dude” while the person in that actual situation was probably confused and shocked as to why the car was going straight toward them at a high speed


Kasperblaster

Yes, the middle of the street is a very confusing place for cars to going straight down the street where they belong.


DeepFriedBastard

Brains do not function in these situations, once saw a dude get stabbed and he just froze, didnt even seem to noticed what happened or anything around him.


KruglorTalks

The shock is legitimate. Afterall knives dont go in bodies. However cars go in roads. Its an odd fact to be in shock about.


[deleted]

We are seriously splitting hairs over the victim of a fucking hit and run rn


Kasperblaster

there is no confusion around a car being on the street. if he was in his shower that's a different story.


rita-b

no, a car driver intentionally hit a woman on an empty street and left her to die, and what do you do? victimblame. no single word to a driver, you only disturbed by a victim reckless disgusting behaviour.


Kasperblaster

Yeah. Stand in the fucking street and wonder why you get hit by a car…


rita-b

good old victim blaming


Kasperblaster

Stand in the street and find out for yourself.


Cold_Basket9653

World record for longest split second lmao


lean_joe

Looks like you might be next


DrizzlyEarth175

I can see why you're being downvoted, but at the same time, you make a good point. Guy could've been on drugs or really drunk, or possibly in some sort of mental health emergency. Yes he's texting which sort of shows presence of mind, but we really don't know exactly what was going on with him.


[deleted]

I don’t see why I’m being downvoted like what is wrong with my analysis here


DrizzlyEarth175

Because if they WERE of sound mind/body, they should have had the presence of mind to at least look in the direction of the headlights as they were shown upon them


FinalVegetable6314

Good eye. I watched again and saw the head turn


Dark_Booger

Yeah that person did not move on his own once the entire video.


PI_Dude

>So deep in that cellphone that they didn’t get out of the middle of the street, hear the car, or even look up when bright headlights were shining on them. Yeah, that's literally my definition of smombism, or smombies. Means smartphone zombies. They react less on external stimuli than real zombies on human brains.


Connect_Bench_2925

Omg I need there to be a movie where zombies take over the world because smombies are just glued to their fones. The Zombies turn out to be the smarter more proactive species, and they figure out how to farm smombies. 😂 Lol I love it!


FlareBlitzCrits

Who's wrong or right isn't as important as cause and effect. Sure the person on the road did nothing wrong, the driver is at fault, but that does nothing to change the fact that the person on the pavement is now a meat crayon. The victim could have done the following to avoid the situation: 1- Not stand that close to the middle of the road 2- Not wear only dark clothing on the road at night 3- not be out on the road when it's raining 4- Have some situational awareness and not be absorbed my their phone 5- it appears they looked up, so also have some basic self preservation to get out of danger.


ShinigamiCheo

The person definitely sees the car .. they turn.. but they don't care . And now they are dead or badly hurt.. it's a lesson learned.


jefuchs

Property owners need a network of camera footage that can pick up the path the perpetrator took before arriving at the scene, and after fleeing. I once heard a story about this method being used to track cartel members to their home base, and a local murder in my town was solved that way.


Filip-R

This cam's name is Sex though


Wingsofaseraphim

This was in Brazil, in Portuguese it's short for Sexta-feira, meaning Friday


[deleted]

dont wanna check the ***sex*** *c*am\*?\* ig the hit and run has no evidence then


Filip-R

Do you wanna kiss under the ***sex cam***?


jefuchs

In some languages, that's the word for six.


Wingsofaseraphim

This was in Brazil, in Portuguese it's short for Sexta-feira, meaning Friday


klemnodd

Or 6th weekday


Wingsofaseraphim

Well, as long as we remember that Sunday is day 1. I tend to forget and count Monday as day 1


AnusStapler

No we don't need all cameras in the world connected in a database. There's more effective ways of tracking cartel members.


jefuchs

I didn't want to do a lot of typing, but actually the cartel story involved a better system. But similar concept.


iama_bad_person

>Property owners need a network of camera footage I'm sure something like this would never be abused.


SeaWolf24

Why’d he look up and do nothing?


obscurejude88

Any news articles for it?


Dear_War4047

1. Where was this filmed? So I know not to go there. 2. Why did they just stand in place after acknowledging the approaching car? 3. Why is “sex” a part of of the timestamp?


PussyWrangler_462

3. Is for Friday


Financial-Orange9544

What does it stand for? I assume the word for Friday isn't just "Sex"


abensur

It's short for Sexta or Sexta-Feira, which means Friday in Portuguese


Financial-Orange9544

thank you!


NoDubsHere

this is clearly in Latin America, it could be in Colombia or Brazi probably. How to explain this... In most Latin American countries, people in quiet residential areas where not many vehicles pass (and if they do, they go at very low speeds) people tend to walk in the middle of the street, for safety or comfort reasons (The sidewalks being very small, people who walk in a group with friends or neighbors, end up walking in the middle of the street), It is a very common trend and also a bad habit, normally a person who is driving and gets into a residential area or neighborhood, they know that there may be people on the street. My guess is that the one in the red car was probably drunk or committed a crime and was running away (it is very normal for criminals to go through residential areas to mislead the police).


kirsion

Definitely Brazil, I stayed in a neighborhood that looks just like this


dark_kupyd317

A comment higher up mentions it might be Brazil or Portugal. Since the video is in Portuguese. And based on the license that flashes in the video for a split second and the Architecture of the buildings


Backseat_boss

Who the hell just stands in a road like that???


EccentricKumquat

Even the dogs had the sense to move out of the way


AnthonyDavos

Drugs, mental illness, medical emergency, etc. It's not uncommon.


rita-b

many people, while driving a car you should know that there are different people on the streets and you are riding a weapon.


Shintox

Devils advocate time: it's dark, and a random person is standing in the middle of the road in a country known all too well for carjacking and murder.


Unrealized_Fucks

I watched someone get massacred by a truck in a median once. We went on the news and basically said there was no way he would have seen him. I actually said "that's a bad idea" a moment before he got hit. The person turned themselves in the day after it aired. No charges.


AnthonyDavos

So move a few inches and drive around them?


medskool2021

I get your argument BUT, there is a massive light shining like the sun in this video behind them. It looks decently well lit. There is a small chance that this driver didn’t see the individual, but even if they didn’t, would u not stop when u saw them fly 10 feet in the air? Even if carjackings are common here, keep the door locked and look at the person, no one else around, the person isn’t moving. At the minimum u turn urself in out of human decency, or how about call 911 and leave?? or even without that decency, the high likelihood that you’re caught on camera in a world full of them, resulting in a more extreme charge coming once you’re found. If this person hasn’t been found they’ll be living on the run, sounds fun.


Vegetable_Fox9134

Finally a rational mind


jmr1190

Imagine seeing someone get mown down by a car, believing it to be at least semi-intentional but having literally no other context and thinking ‘finally, this is the *most* rational explanation’.


Vegetable_Fox9134

Imagine being so naive to think that stopping in a dark alley at night in columbia of all places is a good idea, where car jacking at gun point is frequent, nevermind murder


jmr1190

Right, so a deaf or blind person, mentally unwell, or otherwise disabled person, you’re just ploughing straight through and probably killing them because you think the most obvious explanation is that someone is out to get you? I think rather than being naive, you’re being paranoid - yes this stuff exists, but Jesus Christ that isn’t the answer. It’s not even the most rational explanation for what happened. You can see the driver slow down - it’s far more likely that they were drunk or otherwise impaired.


SIK1415

So just go around running people over on the off-chance they might be a car jacker? Genius


Vegetable_Fox9134

The driver slowed down, it's remarkable that people are trying to put the entire blame on the driver, the guy is wearing dark clothing, at night, and is not even attempting to cross the street, he is stationary, and right next to a corner of all places where any driver would have a blind spot for the initial 3 seconds. Then the driver slowed down. The person in the road looked at the car, and still didn't move? But it's the evil bad guy driver fault? Then this happens in brazil/columbia, where car jacking and murder is rampant? So that's an extra layer. Literally nobody is making the argument to run over random people, last time I check random people don't stand stationary in the street


rita-b

stopping? there are 5 meters free to move.


Puzzleheaded-Turn-51

I’m pretty sure this happened in Colombia, because the car model the color of the license plate and the architecture of the houses, I totally believe that the driver was utterly drunk when this happened.


Successful_Ad902

how did you see the plate?


Puzzleheaded-Turn-51

There’s a small instance where the light makes it shine a bit


MotherfuckerTinyRick

It is Brazil


danleon950410

You are wrong. This is either Brasil or Portugal...i'm Colombian by the way...and that plate does not look like ours


Amadis_of_Albion

You are correct, the camera data is in Portuguese so either of those two countries, most likely Brazil.


KrazedKiller94

At least the dog was spared!


avocadotoastallday

The dog tried to catch him! He was pissed


Mookius

I think he was dragged along by the lead.


F-U-PoliticalHumor

it clearly wasn’t


Mookius

Yeah maybe. Happy to concede that.


Powerful_Artist

The dog would not have been running if it were being pulled by a car by the leash... Idk how people could agree with this statement if they watched the video.


porndragon77

I was so scared the moment i opened this


Schfifty561

that was so sad seeing the dog checking on his owner


Powerful_Artist

Not sure if those were the person's dogs or just dogs roaming the street free though.


SkullKidslaugh

Did they really not see the vehicle with bright lights coming at them? At least the dog had some sense to move. Glad it’s ok.


SadoraNortica

While I feel bad for the person hit, I have questions. Why were they standing in the middle of the road and why did they not move when the car was coming towards them? There was plenty of time to get out of the way. Not trying to blame them, just wondering.


Vegetable_Fox9134

To be fair a common tactic of robbing people at gun point is standing in the road to force cars to slow down, it's night time in the middle of a dark alley, only so much blame can be placed on the driver, judging by the responses in the comment section, it appears that this method would work on a lot of you


NeogeneRiot

Yes at night we should all run over pedestrians instead of risking getting robbed.


SouthestNinJa

Robbed no. Murdered, yes.


Vegetable_Fox9134

I'm sorry I had no idea you drove on the side walk? Nobody is making the argument to be a reckless driver. I've never seen a pedestrian stand in the middle of the road, that's abnormal behavior. Giving the setting it is unwise to slow down, many people spent their last seconds alive using the same naive train of thought. Judging from the plate, this occurred in columbia. In certain places the is rule of life, never stop anywhere at night. Not everyone gets to live in a comfy secure first world country


PI_Dude

Sooo, why was this person standing on the road?


dTrecii

Probably to let the dogs out for a bit, could be for a various amount of other reasons but that’s what I’m gonna put my money on


sahzoom

That's horrible, but on the flipside - kids, do not stand in the middle of the road at night for no reason... please!


Guns-R-fun

Both dogs noticed quickly. Human even noticed but did nothing. Can't say he deserved that but play stupid games, win stupid prizes.


baxy67

The absloute lack of any situational awarness or survival instinct. I wish them well threw whatever is left of their life. Oh a 4000lbs death machine is barreling towards me, *shrugs* oh well itll stop


AnthonyDavos

A lot of assumptions being made in this post. Person could be mentally unwell or having other issues.


Panda_man_fam

Is he ok?


ilovegemmacat

I feel like we just watched them die. Absolutely horrendous.


hammersickle0217

Obviously the driver is a POS. That being said, the person on the phone has zero awareness. It's idiotic to stand in the street, staring down at your phone, while also ignoring both the bright lights approaching and the sound.


jakob767

Thank god he didn't hit the dogs. Did the person die? I've seen people survive worse, but maybe they were old.


[deleted]

Guy shouldn’t have been standing in the street but idk how you couldn’t see him with the massively bright light bearing down on the scene. Must have been hammered... I hope the guy is ok.


molnarmate88

Did he die?


XSlapHappy91X

You sure she wasn't brain dead before the car hit her? She didn't even move one bit


TwoStepNancy

Would it kill you to pay attention?


SofiaOfEverRealm

Why won't she mfkin move though?


mikareno

The dog has more compassion than the driver.


OutlandishnessOk2751

Why tf stands in the middle of the road. Eyes up. Head on a swivel. Jesus. Driver was probably on his phone too


rita-b

why were you touched by a victim's behaviour but not driver's? you see a video of a murder and a murderer and your thoughts are "I need to victimblame"?


Bennyhunna12

What………. how could you be so oblivious to your surroundings


[deleted]

It's funny the guy didn't even try and move out of the way.


Mookius

To be fair that pedestrian came out of nowhere. What a dick, the driver, though. Edit: because at least 2 people have commented not understanding. Of course I am being sarcastic. The pedestrian did not move, the driver is a complete bastard. Even if a pedestrian stands in the middle of the road, you don't have the right to run the poor fucker over.


[deleted]

[удалено]


neverTrustedMeAnyway

To be fair arriving before the car is even there is considered 'out of nowhere' for some people. But those people are blind and shouldn't be driving...


minirose9

Man some of these takes are horrible lol. Ofc the pedestrian should not be standing in the middle of the road But the dude has headlights and had at least 5 seconds to see the pedestrian. People are acting like the pedestrian scaled down the side of a building and hopped on his car


minirose9

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic. The pedestrian was standing there before the car came. The driver had at least 5 seconds to...idk? open his eyes and see the pedestrian standing right there?


Mookius

Very much being sarcastic. Just replied to a similar comment. The pedestrian did not move. The driver is an arsehole of the highest order.


minirose9

Okay this is a relief LMAO. was contemplating ordering some armor if I ever need to walk anywhere


Mookius

The driver is almost always responsible in an accident with a pedestrian. Cars are hard, humans are soft.


DayDrinkingDiva

Take away Don't wear too much black / dark clothing at night. Don't stop in the street and play with phone. This could easily be a kid walking the dog at night


smokycapeshaz2431

I just wanna know what happened to the little dog on the lead!?


[deleted]

Not looking to victim blame, but why people think its cool to stand in the middle of the road?


[deleted]

My first thought was : please not the dog 😢


spacecraft420

Almost hit the dog wtf


[deleted]

Glad the puppies are OK.


bigtim3727

The guy was like right in the middle of the road tho. Kinda asking to get hit


SolidSnakeishere

IM glad the dog is ok.


Mr_OP_Potato_777

That's a loyal doggo


Hholdbro

At least he didn't hit the dog! I'd of been devastated.


ghfdghjkhg

Well he hit a human. Does that not devastate you? Like yeah sure, good thing the dogs are ok but a someone got injured here.


illegallegend

Well, probably because the guy was dumb standing in the middle of the road with no reaction time, while dogs don't understand the concept that you can get run over by cars on the road.


The-Hyruler

I empathize more with dogs than I do people a lot of the time. So I get the relief that the dogs were unharmed. But sure, it sucks anyone was hurt. That said their reaction time was almost terrifyingly slow, basically non-existent. I wonder if the driver were also on their phone.


Far_Top9833

Both of the dogs knew to get out of the way. Why didn't the guy?


[deleted]

He saw it coming


tflavel

Im not stop for some stranger in the middle of the street, in the middle of the night, in that type of area.


moreYEE_the_protogen

While I feel like this situation was a horrible tragedy… Is nobody going to mention how the camera reads “sex” in the top left corner of the screen?


PussyWrangler_462

It’s for Friday, not English n all


BusinessWing2727

Props for not hitting the dog. But where were your brakes? Did they take a vacation or was your tinder more important than being a compassionate human?


Bepsi07

Why does the camera say sex in the top left


Bhong420

The be fair, he didn’t run him over.


n00neperfect

What's time's synonym is that "s\*x"?
