I fail to see any humor in that video. I'm not afraid to admit that I would have been scared shitless if that had happened to me. I probably would have driven up on the sidewalk to try to get away from the lunatic, but I'm sure I too would have initially been stunned/shocked and not really have known what to do until my mind finally realized what was going on. Think about it - we saw the guy's rage before it happened and were a little more prepared for his lunacy - the lady had no idea what was going on with this guy - from her perspective, he came out of nowhere. I'm sure she was stunned and no doubt terrified.
As far as no one else doing anything - would you really have gotten out of your car and approached this guy? I find it very hard to believe that you would have. Like Eric said, what would you have done except make your head the target of his next swing? As hard as he was hitting that PT Cruiser, he would have made short work of your skull with that metal tire iron or whatever he was swinging.
The thing I find the most disturbing about it is that it was filmed. Why on earth was this filmed? If for some reason I was filming and this happened, no way could I have continued to film it, or I'm sure I would at least have said something while filming. This person just continued to film it, and didn't even make a single remark. I certainly wouldn't have walked closer like the cameraman did.
I NEVER SAID I WOULD GET OUT OF THE CAR. Read my posts before you quote me. Calling 911 is doing something and if you look at the surrounding cars, people are doing nothing more than spectating. At the very least, I would have expected some of them to LEAVE THE SCENE and call 911 to ensure the safety of their own vehicles. Instead, they acted like idiots and just sat there, waiting for the light to turn green. And the lady should have done WHATEVER IT TAKES to leave the scene. Personally, I would have gotten out of there and then came back and tried to run the guy and the camera man over, but I guess it depends on the car. If I was in a SUV, I would have had NO hesitation of hopping the curb and plowing those two ******s down. But in my G, where I'm lower to the ground more in range of the guy's hammer, I'd have second thoughts. Obviously, the camera man was a friend of his and probably only supported what he was doing.
Does nobody understand that the guy (and probably the camera man) was all doped up on drugs??? He even states it in his initial "rant". And this guy has probably already been to jail and has no problem going back in, along with the fact that he'll probably get away with that stunt. Listen to his speech and you'll understand why he did it, lol.
This guy thinks he's making something of himself by being a hard-core tough guy drug dealer and pimp, but he only ends up looking like a ridiculous lunatic....pathetic.
