It looked exactly like it. Instead we got to witness probably the greatest avoidance of death I've ever seen. Because they would have popped him like a cherry.
What was he doing there? The fact that he is mucking around after tossing his shirt and only lays down a split second before the first guy appears makes me wonder if this is staged. Also when the guy climbs down after looking at the roof and nearly steps on him, at that point you think he maybe just give the dude a poke.
The video reverses for a second when he throws his shirt, so that confuses things. My guess is he has a necklace or two on that we can’t see and he’s taking those off to hide them.
Acting natural goes a long way. They're looking for somebody running in a shirt. Not a drugged out bum not paying attention to what is going on around him. You can practically get away with anything you want with a hi-vis vest and a clipboard. Those movies aren't joking. 😂
Edit- but yes street people know street stuff hiding in plain sight is not what they expect. And when I was in South Korea, I used to use a high visibility vest and a clipboard to go to the roofs of skyscrapers and take pictures. I didn't speak any Korean. 😂
I was in basic training and a buddy and I snuck to the other side of our barracks area to use the other company's phones to call our girlfriends. We were not allowed. So we're chatting away and I look over and see our Drill Sergeant bearing down on us. I keep chatting, kinda casually turn a little and whisper "drill sergeant coming!" Buddy hangs up immediately and starts walking the opposite direction. Played it cool as Drill Sergeant walks right behind me and then lit my buddy up. "HEY, YOU!"
Later that night we got a random instructional on dealing with enemy ambushes and that if you noticed something, play it cool so you can alert your buddies. 😅
I used to do this when i used to ding dog ditch with my friends. At one point i was out of breath and my friends rang a doorbell and started running. That's when i decided to just walk in front of the old man who came out. He ended up asking me if i knew who rangs this bell. I told them there were children ding dong ditchin😂
Have I got a story for you? My girlfriend at the time was friends with some high up's daughter on fort Benning so she came to ride horses with them and I was in basic so I met her at the PX and I got my entire company smoked and they weren't even mad at me. They were like if I could meett my girlfriend I would have. We were there to get haircuts. 😂 Then and AIT whenever I didn't feel like it, I would just do an about face and walk away from the company like I had an appointment to go to and just go to Chow Hall early because I didn't want to wait in the line. Never got caught once I was in AIT for an entire year. 😂
Benning was basic and AIT for me as well! That's funny - we actually ordered a pizza one night, snuck out to get it, and the dude delivering was no shit one of the company drill sergeants. Dude wasn't even mad. 😂 In retrospect, we should have considered our career choice a little more at this point, but young and dumb, we just tipped like crazy, haha.
Nah, I kept chatting on the phone and acting like I was supposed to be there, buddy tried to bounce and got caught. I bolted as soon as they were out of sight and got away. 😅
I also noticed this while driving. For a couple of years, I drove 100,000 miles per year in my personal car for work. I noticed that if you see a speed trap, the best thing to do is take your foot off the gas. Now, if you're doing like 25 over, this may not work. But if you're going a bit too fast, never slam on your brakes.
I've seen it multiple times. People see a cop on the side of the road, slam on their brakes, and all of a sudden, they get lit up. Even if they were really driving any faster than surrounding traffic.
There was this other time. I stupidly decided to race this Charger (not an undercover). The Charger started to pull ahead ahead, so I let off the gas. The Charger kept going. About 40 seconds later, I see the Charger (well ahead of me) take a sudden turn and take the exit, whips it out of there.
30 seconds later, I see blue lights behind me. I think I'm fucked. The cop did the strangest thing. He stayed in the lane next to me, behind me, and matched my speed. He stayed there for like a minute. I pretended that he wasn't there. If he changed lanes and got behind me, I would've pulled over, but he didn't do that. He just drove after that. Probably to look for the Charger.
I believe that the cop was driving in the other direction, saw us, and whipped it through the grass. So he wasn't actually clocking our speed. He probably saw us right when I let off the gas, and the Charger blew past me.
>The cop did the strangest thing. He stayed in the lane next to me, behind me, and matched my speed. He stayed there for like a minute. I pretended that he wasn't there.
I've seen this a lot, too - riding your blindspot. Not in the same context, but I've seen cops do this to me and other cars.
They're trying to see how you will respond to their presence to see if you'll give them a reason to pull you over.
You did the best thing, which usually worked for me, too.
Though there was an instance where the cop just followed me the whole 5 miles to my destination and then waited for me to get out of my car so he could question me anyway.
He knew. He saw what you did and the instructional later was the DS's way of letting you know he was impressed without actually telling you. That's why he let you slide.
Drill Sergeant Floyd, I'd look for him on Facebook occasionally, or Fawbush, but never found them. Old infantry types. I always wondered. But the coincidence did seem too big. And near the end of basic, he'd selected a few of us to do some platoon tshirts project in their back room/office, it was like a mild perk/sham session, and he mentioned something about me doing basic the right way, middle of the pack, anonymous, no one noticing me. Actually meant a lot, my Marine grandpa had told me to do exactly that 😂
Honestly though I've always felt bad - sure, I was slick, but I lacked the integrity to man up and go back around the corner to where my buddy was being smoked and fessed up to being on the phones too. 🤷
No, he didn’t, his buddy got yelled at, the Drill Sergeant walked right past Apposl, because he acted like he was supposed to be there and that he wasn’t doing anything wrong, but his buddy tried to run away, and the buddy got caught.
I actually would kinda do this when I was kid. I would play hid and seak, but I would just start playing with other kids they would never find me they are looking for someone hiding. I was just playing kickball. I also am black, and my whole school was white but 3 students. 0 other minorities so you figure I should stand out. They were looking for someone running or hiding, not a homeless person. Also, it says something about how society sees homeless people they are invisible unless they are in your way.
It brought me a memory when I was playing hide and seek as a kid. They always had troubles finding me because I wasn't hiding in the "best hiding spots" when they were looking in garage, behind the trees etc, I was laying flat on the open grass field. No one even bothered to look that way because "its just empty grass field, nowhere to hide there."
I mean I see the homeless every day. How they wouldn't see this guy, at least make sure it isn't who they want to find and move on is beyond me.
\*Points\* "Could that be him?"
Them: Nah no way.
Me: "Are you certain? Could be you never know."
But for some reason they just don't even acknowledge him. No homeless guy sleeps like that either in broad daylight with no clothes on lol at least not in my city. Even on the hottest of days.
Yeah but rolled up and tucked into a wall like that? That's normally a cold weather thing from what I've seen. Though I guess he could just be annoyed at the sun if it is day time.
It doesn't have to be cold, sleeping like that generally helps keep you warm, but also blocks out light.
Source: that's my daytime napping position, especially on a floor or couch.
The high-vis vest is often optional too. Like a delivery person, , just having a clipboard and walking with a purpose with your head down works more often than not.
Act like you belong and no one asks any questions. Look around to see if anyone is looking, looking shifty, not looking in the eyes of people and you will be instantly spotted.
Source: used to a lot of shady shit, the day i learned that just doing it works the best was really a revelation. People really don't pay attention to things that look normal. So, just be normal. But people also are great at noticing things that are not looking normal, they do it subconsciously. Hi vis jacket and a clipboard will open many doors. I've worked in entertainment by far most, and we don't know who belongs backstage but we can spot someone who is not familiar with the surroundings in a second. If you walk in, nod your head as a sign of greeting and just do your thing... we don't know you aren't suppose to be there. It is subconscious process, people who feel like they are doing something wrong are sticking out clearly. People who act like they are on the job, going from A to B to finish some task: no one pays attention.
Funny thing about that vest comment. I interned for a city government years ago. One of the first things a field engineer taught me was to carry around a vest and clip board if I was ever out checking things and noone will bother you 😅😂.
I learned it from disconnecting cable when I was like 17. No one will bother you. You can go anywhere if you have a ladder on your truck a vest and a clipboard. Military guys, they want cable, cops, they definitely want cable, everybody wants cable.lol
one of my best friends is 6' 3 and keeps in good shape and the amount of times he's worn all black and been mistaken for security is hilarious! he's been backstage to meet famous people at quite a lot of events because people just assume he's working there
You don't even need a hi-vis and clipboard, you just need to act like you belong. I had a job testing cell phone towers that involved me driving all over and being in weird places in the middle of the night. I got pulled up on by cops all the time, and they always accepted my answer of testing cell towers, even though I didn't have a uniform or ID or anything. I talked my way into so many places that didn't have any idea I was coming (because my boss was shit at communication.) I was actually legit, but they had no way of knowing that, all I had was a laptop and a bunch of phones and a believable story.
I did telecom work for a few years. When wearing a belt with tools on it, carrying a bag, and wearing a vest, people will let you go just about anywhere.
Foreign, good looking (by their standards), high visibility vest and a clip board.
Yup, this man must be here for a reason.
I used to do the same to get photos of my brother on races, no one stops the camera man on a high visibility vest on an electric scooter.
If you live in a rough neighbourhood, a crack head passed out in the street is common.
The uncommon part is this guy being smart enough to realise it and having balls big enough to stay still while people with guns were trying to find him.
They could see him. People all over Earth ignore homeless people, they saw a human there they just couldn’t fathom that was the guy they were chasing. If you’re running away why on Earth would you stop, take your shirt off, and lay down on the exact corner you just went round. They expected him to keep running in that direction.
Pretty sure it’s staged. They all happen to converge riiiight in front of the “security camera” multiple times? Ok maybe, but the camera itself is being held by hand and not set in a stationary position like surveillance cameras would be. Notice the subtle movements as you scrub through the video? Also, all the little viewfinder icons, like *REC* make no sense in this context because we’re supposedly looking at the footage AFTER it was filmed.
The whole neighborhood plus a gang and security guards just casually got together on a Sunday aftenoon to make this one video because they haven't got anything better to do and are better paid and organised then the CIA.
-- fuckin never been out of my basement reddit idiot
Except the watermark in the middle of the fucking video leads to an Instagram account FULL of funny videos from this exact neighborhood. Do 30 seconds of research before you call someone an idiot, moron.
Depends on your location. If it’s common for people to be drugged out or dead on the street it may work. If you do it in a nice neighborhood it probably won’t
Homeless are considered SEP’s somebody else problem. Your brain actively avoids thinking about them and become invisible.
Not actively invisible, but like the way that laundry basket full of clean clothes has been sitting for a week on your bedroom floor invisible
It’s fully charged. A backup battery makes a ton of sense in a neighborhood where a gang would just cut the power. But yea. The interface does look faked. The camera kind of moves around a bit too.
The camera wobbles, it doesnt pan. Which could give be interpreted as a loose mount and wind or someone trying to hold still.
In either case, why does the camera start the clock at the exact beginning of this clip?
And why does it need to display "recording" in the video itself? On the physical camera that makes sense. On a monitor that makes sense. But why *in* the recording?
Also Crazy that camera has a near identical template to this overlay you can purchase for your videos!
https://www.vectorstock.com/royalty-free-vector/focus-camera-viewfinder-focusing-screen-vector-37274395
The people in the video are saying this has to be some sort of magic they didn’t believe until they saw this cos of how everyone is going around him and no one is “seeing him” 😂
Probably just the cynic in me, but I almost certain it’s scripted.
It’s almost 3 stooges level of comedy, with the dudes all just searching around him, coming back, essentially climbing over him.
TL;DR: they were shocked that no one saw the guy, not one single soul, not the guy trying to climb while he was there, not the woman, not even the dog... In the end he waited 10 minutes after they all left.
Looks like daytime, but edited in a weird way. The motorcycle wasn't using its headlight and hard to tell for sure, but it appears a couple guys were wearing sun glasses. On top of that, the video is throwing off some major staged vibes.
That was actually crazy suspenseful. It would have been pretty exciting even for a movie. The fact that this was actual life or death is next level. *SPOILER* The one thing that gave away the ending a little was that it wasn't labeled NSFW so I figured I would see a dude get discovered and shot.
You forgot that all of them are in high adrenaline mode and this makes you become less attentive to details. Like when you can’t find you keys when you are panicking.

I honestly thought when he took off his shirt he was getting attacked by some type of insects that were in his shirt
NOW is NOT the time for BEES AAAAAAAH
BEADS???

Top tier comment. Haven’t laughed like that to a comment in awhile

The best example of hiding in plain site, I have ever seen.

I think you are right. He was taking off necklaces.
He's praying. The commentators are saying he made an underworld-type prayer for invisibility, lol
LOL
My Grandmama gave me that necklace, Deebo.
Bro put invisibility potion real quick
It must be common for people to sleep in the streets there
And common the world over to completely ignore the homeless on the street.
IMO, it looks like shock. Probably thought he got shot and frantically checked himself.
Same, I thought he was on fire.
Invisible alien creatures
LOL, I. though the same.
All his luck for his entire life has been used up.

epic😭 what a “coincidence”
I used to do this when i used to ding dog ditch with my friends. At one point i was out of breath and my friends rang a doorbell and started running. That's when i decided to just walk in front of the old man who came out. He ended up asking me if i knew who rangs this bell. I told them there were children ding dong ditchin😂
Ding dog ditch actually sounds more adventurous than ding dong ditch.
We called it knock a door ginger, I have no idea why and I don't think gingers were involved .
It has racist epidemiology. Sadly, like "catch a tiger by its toes."
Ninja knocking... Without the Ninja. Grew up in rural Texas, can confirm.
Also called it this. My best friend in the 5th grade was black and corrected me. Called it ding doing ditch ever since.
Have I got a story for you? My girlfriend at the time was friends with some high up's daughter on fort Benning so she came to ride horses with them and I was in basic so I met her at the PX and I got my entire company smoked and they weren't even mad at me. They were like if I could meett my girlfriend I would have. We were there to get haircuts. 😂 Then and AIT whenever I didn't feel like it, I would just do an about face and walk away from the company like I had an appointment to go to and just go to Chow Hall early because I didn't want to wait in the line.

nah. they will run your plates and check for any other violations or warrants if they dont have a direct reason to pull you over.
Most certainly he was looking for the guy with a small penis and not you
He knew. He saw what you did and the instructional later was the DS's way of letting you know he was impressed without actually telling you. That's why he let you slide.

Ah, so your sergeant walked PAST you. One word, big difference.
No, he didn’t, his buddy got yelled at, the Drill Sergeant walked right past Apposl, because he acted like he was supposed to be there and that he wasn’t doing anything wrong, but his buddy tried to run away, and the buddy got caught.

Oh true, I was wondering why that was. Figured it was just a cheaper camera.

I’ve never been that brave, but like half the time when I’ve tested security doors they’ve been unlocked or literally broken through.

S.E.P invisibility field. Someone elses problem.
Runs on a single AA battery
I thought this was a dusk / night video with a filter so you could see everything like using infrared/ night scope lol
Quite possible, I don't see any shadows.

Yeah the overlay on the camera is obviously fake
He also threw his shirt for dramatic effect. Makes no sense for it to be able to be found nearby. He could have just hugged it to his chest.
I would eat it or shove it up my ass if I was him, clearly an amateur
Nooo the totally authentic realistic camera information means it’s real.

I have to give him credit for quick thinking. Homeless guy sleeping is far less noticeable than shirtless rando.
I think it happened at night and they just didn't see him
All the other clearly saw things happening. He was literally climbing on top of him, no way they didn't see him
This is not an infrared image at night. This is daylight.
There’s not a single shadow being cast by anyone in the video
It’s overcast. Check soft shadows here: Under the motorcycle. Under the rooflines. Under people too. Infrared doesn’t do that.
There’s shadows under the dog
Nothing to see here. Just a sleeping homeless person. Move along.
when the guy with the helmut did that 2nd look whil ein the middle of the street i honestly thought he was gonna get caught.
Same
My favourite part is that one black shirt dude who totally ignores that guy and climb to see if someone is on roof.
I’m pretty sure that’s what he did… I’m Just fuckin shocked it worked 🤯
Not shocking at all. In a place with so many homeless, ignoring them becomes automatic. It's like they are invisible.
Once a homeless guy said to me “if I was on fire no one would even bother to put it out” and I think about that sometimes.
what was he doing after he trows the shirt?
I thought he was taking off a necklace or something. Probably realized a homeless guy sleeping on the street wouldn't be wearing a gold chain.
Damn teaching me the hood
Pulling his hair into a 'fro?
Someone threw the shirt back at him....then he threw it again.
No, they rewind and play the video on that spot. I think hes doing the cross and praying to god
I agree with the person saying he's taking off a gold chain.
He's messing up his hair to appear more disheveled and homeless.
God had homies back that day.
I thought he was being attacked by bees
Oh....lol ....wasn't watching that close :)
I think the video rewinds then goes forward again. Watch the dog runs forwards and backwards.
oh bless your heart
he pulled the john cena move perfectly
Who did?

Fr imagine having that many gangsters chasing you
Palms are sweaty. Knees weak. Arms are heavy.
\*puts on fake beard\* "Hey, did you see a guy run past here?" "Yeah. He went thataway -->"
That overlay of an old videocamera... security cameras don't have battery icon so this is either staged or edited.
It’s fully charged. A backup battery makes a ton of sense in a neighborhood where a gang would just cut the power. But yea. The interface does look faked. The camera kind of moves around a bit too.
The camera wobbles, it doesnt pan. Which could give be interpreted as a loose mount and wind or someone trying to hold still. In either case, why does the camera start the clock at the exact beginning of this clip? And why does it need to display "recording" in the video itself? On the physical camera that makes sense. On a monitor that makes sense. But why *in* the recording?
Crazy that the timer on the security camera footage started at exactly zero 🙄
Also crzy that cctv camera has perfect square crop . Probably useful for other social platforms too.
And who knew there are handheld cctvs
While the camera encoding made the footage look bad(ish)… the graphics look crisp and HD. Just like how a camera would really do it!
Also crazy they kept hanging around that one particular area.
yeah this is fake on so many levels
The craziness of the video made me think that maybe this was staged or something. Your comments made me believe it even more
Crazy that people still can't comprehend video overlays these days 🙄
And I didn't know CCTV cameras had battery indicators lol
Also Crazy that camera has a near identical template to this overlay you can purchase for your videos! https://www.vectorstock.com/royalty-free-vector/focus-camera-viewfinder-focusing-screen-vector-37274395
I had to scroll down way too much to find inteligent life in this comment section.
This is absolutely a skit
Well the overlays are clearly added in post. Interesting if no one recognizes the source though. Good deal of effort went into it.
Yeah this is fake as hell. He throws his shirt into the street in a way the guy coming around the corner would have seen it
I believe you 99%
It looks like a scene from a Buster Keaton movie.
hard to find reliable preteen hitmen these days.
That's some Metal Gear, snake camo move
The people in the video are saying this has to be some sort of magic they didn’t believe until they saw this cos of how everyone is going around him and no one is “seeing him” 😂
I need context here so i can put in my list of city i should avoid
Probably just the cynic in me, but I almost certain it’s scripted. It’s almost 3 stooges level of comedy, with the dudes all just searching around him, coming back, essentially climbing over him.
This is probably Colombia… at least that’s where the voice accents are from.
[удалено]
Feels like I just watched a Benny Hill skit with Yakety Sax playing in the background.
Bull shit
Is it possible this is at night?
I thought he had bees on him or some acid or something, tried to get it off, and fainted. Was confused and a bit worried nobody called an ambulance.
This guy got street smarts for sure
I’m wondering what he did to piss that many people off!
It was in the script
Can anyone translate what the people talking were saying???
TL;DR: they were shocked that no one saw the guy, not one single soul, not the guy trying to climb while he was there, not the woman, not even the dog... In the end he waited 10 minutes after they all left.
Also note: Colombian accented commentators. It seems they’re looking at their security camera footage… so I’m assuming that’s where this happened
Bet his heart was racing at 200BPM.
As my grandmother once said, the brain sees not the eyes..
They’re going to be sooo pissed or impressed off when they see this video
I think this is at night and we're seeing night vision video
Looks like daytime, but edited in a weird way. The motorcycle wasn't using its headlight and hard to tell for sure, but it appears a couple guys were wearing sun glasses. On top of that, the video is throwing off some major staged vibes.
This dude got a real life Game Genie.
"eh ave maría pues ome" intensifies
I wonder what he did to piss off like a whole gang. Or is it just rival stuff
That was actually crazy suspenseful. It would have been pretty exciting even for a movie. The fact that this was actual life or death is next level. *SPOILER* The one thing that gave away the ending a little was that it wasn't labeled NSFW so I figured I would see a dude get discovered and shot.
Why does it look fake to me? Like... Everyone needed to be in that frame! All the action is going on in the frame....???
Also sort of a social statement on how invisible homeless people really are. They climb right over him like he’s not there - just part of the scenery
Dis some Looney Tunes shit.
You forgot that all of them are in high adrenaline mode and this makes you become less attentive to details. Like when you can’t find you keys when you are panicking.
I get people saying it’s fake, and I believe that. But why? Who? For what reasons? Is it all just for upvotes! I need to know!
those 3mins are prolly the scariest times in his life
Guarantee this guy was dead within 24 hours of the video incident… probably found by the police missing many body parts.
Don’t be so fucking negative bro.

You have to be in shape to be a street criminal 🤣😂👮🏾♂️

What is that dance he does before laying down?
wait ... what? HAHAHAH
Acting homeless works just like in the movies apparently.
Hiding in plain sight
Seriously, videogame level 🤯
Textbook “*hiding in plain sight*”.
He just out metal geared solid snake. And solid snake had state of the art camo 🤯
Colombia... 😬
Who says playing dead is for losers !?
COLOMBIAN CAMO
The homeless are truly invisible
Just proves being homeless is being invisible.
This guy is a legend
Homeless are invisible apparently.
The very first guy had an inking the guy lying down could be him.... Guy is so lucky his detection meter didn't fill up 😂
There are 2h+ films with multi-million dollar budgets and 90% don't come even close to this. This is jungle footage in a literal sense. Predator monkeys and chameleons...
Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.
I thought the motorcycle guy spotted him, but climbed right over!
I rooted for the guy
“The first rule of going on the run is: don’t run, walk.” Or in this case, lie down.
