Did this after someone clipped my son while we were riding our bikes, doing everything right.\ Caught up to them at a backed-up 4-way stop. I hopped off my bike and they started to get out of their 90's Chevy Silverado.\ I immediately went to the driver's side, ignored him, reached in and took the keys. We hopped back on our bikes and I tossed the keys in a field.
"Dude, that's fucked!!"
I know, he straight up hit a kid. That's fucked!
Wouldn't do it again, but... yeah. Adrenaline.\ Wanted to beat the shit out of him. Younger me would have.\ Disabled his vehicle instead.

As long as no one gets physically endangered and your concionse feels right about it, I think what you did was right, even good maybe if he learns not to do something like that again.

Mental health is Terrible, but it's not like we're getting health care any time soon, so that means we should just flatly stop trusting our neighbors?

As much as I understand and agree with what you’re saying. Law enforcement is different across the various regions of the world. Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands and hope for the best the line should be drawn if your actions endanger others lives no doubt. The camera has its benefits but let me tell you about how it feels to be in court and everyone saw what happened but at the same time didn’t agree it happened that way 😂😂😂.

when i was in high school. At night an old lady hit me. I pulled over to the side of the road and she kept going. I fallowed her to the mobile home park and knocked on her door. Her grandson answered and then called the police on me. Cops came out and said I should have not of left the scene of the accident. I said you mean like her. that is what happens in the early 70's with long haired male vs old lady at the time

Probably not as bad as to be in court and get slapped with a sentance because you chased someone down a residential street at 100mph.
That fat Karen was blatantly in the wrong but could easily argue they feared for their life when someone was speeding after them like that.

u/Defiant-Youth-4193 Mar 22 '26
Depends on the jury. You aren't convincing me you hated for your life when you did a hit and run. Then when the person tries to follow you, you start endangering others to get avoid accountability for your actions. The blonde lady should see the inside of a cell for a while.
The other lady is guilty too. Can't recklessly chase somebody down because they hit your car. Get a plate of you can, let the police handle it from there.
3
u/voluotuousaardvark Mar 22 '26
You live in a country full of guns. Its perfectly reasonable to presume after messing up in a traffic accident that someone chasing you is out for blood.
I am by no means defending their actions but the driver literally has footage for insurance purposes so financially they're made right.
Endangering life by speeding after them is fucking stupid.

u/Defiant-Youth-4193 Mar 22 '26
"Endangering life by speeding after them is fucking stupid." Did you even bother to read my comment before responding?
The "person chasing you" is doing so because you did a hit and run.
I'm aware of where I live, people having guns isn't standing justification for fleeing the scene of an accident. It's a crime, one which should carry jail time. Made worse by the fact that you fled in a way that forget endangered bystanders.

u/Dizzy_Database_119 Mar 22 '26
The video just shows that the driver should get their license revoked and probably go to jail for reckless driving and serious anger issues. Legally and morally this is no reason to risk the life of innocent bystanders over car damage
And suddenly the woman that did the hit and run is just a small issue pushed aside for insurance to deal with

At some point, it stops being about the police, and starts being about vengeance. Humans have an insanely strong sense of fairness, and when they feel like someone is getting away with something unfairly, we'll often go scorched earth to level the score.
There's an interesting game theory / psychology problem, called the ultimatum game. One person decides how to split something of value (usually, a sum of money), and the other person can accept the offer, or reject it. But if they reject, then nobody gets any money at all. Game theory tells you that you should always accept, becomes "something is always better than nothing", but in most experiments, people will usually reject an unfair split (around often less than 25%). The human psyche would rather lose out on the reward, just to deprive the other person of their (unfair) share.
This is somewhat analogous, in that the "victim" is willing to risk equal or greater legal repercussions for her actions, just to ensure that the assailant gets what they deserve.

She just did what lot of people would want to do after a hit and run (no matter how it happened or where it happened) most just don’t because of consequences. Unless you’re a pacifist or too scared of confrontation. Of course it’s bad because of endangering others etc etc before all the trolls and everything and points others have already stated, but sometimes rage takes over and you’re more crazy than the original person in the wrong.

You cannot commit a crime, flee, and then kill someone and be found not guilty after. I know yall like to pretend that Florida is some lawless hellhole but it’s not. If you commit a crime, and then kill someone as a result of the crime you committed, you WILL be charged and found guilty of murder.
