Carjacking is a dangerous proposition … just ask this man who got trampled by a pissed-off driver, and it’s all on video.
The attempted carjacking went down last year but started trending this morning because the video was released for public use yesterday. In the video you see a black man trying to stop a car by standing in the middle of the road as he pulls out a gun.
The would-be carjacker receives instant karma as the driver of the car hits the gas and sent him flying down the street.
The moment of impact did some heavy damage to the man, as two people come to his aid immediately, and people allege that they also wanted to aid the robber. The car driver must’ve been seriously pissed of or scared?
Ya gotta see the video … it’s better than anything you’ve done in GTA.
The video was allegedly filmed in Florida.
Video below:
Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes. Karma at its finest.
This is an act of self-defense from the driver. The man entered the street with a gun with the intent to rob the driver of their vehicle, the driver could’ve been scared for their lives and decided to act in self-defense to that individual’s hostile intentions.
Note that there were three of them, two on the opposite side and then the action man who is as much a distraction from the other two as the point of the spear. This is consistent, usually, carjackings are a team of two to three.
Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes. Karma at its finest.
I could watch these all day!
I’m Gumby, damnit!
The driver did so much right in this video that it’s a teachable moment. Dont stop, eliminate a threat that may shoot as you pass and don’t stop to evaluate your handiwork afterwards.
Now the question is...how long before the police track down this vehicular homicidal maniac and bring him to justice? ~sarc
GTA MF!

I wonder how the call with the insurance agent went the next day (i.e., ‘deer in South Central’).
“That’ll buff out”
Love it - hit the high beams and the accelerator ... and the perp. To bad he (?) missed bouncing the perp off the tree.
This is a mini-action movie:
First, you learn to see the bad guys being bad. Then, you want to see someone “get them in the end”. Then we go to the end of the movie where they bad guy is trying to hurt/kill/rob, and the good guy gets them in the end.
That is why these videos are so satisfying. The “plot” like a mini version of a typical action movie. The only thing missing is the side love story.
That was excellent. It’s a shame that tree wasn’t a couple of feet closer, though.
Yeah, the tree was a major contributor.
My wife asked “Couldn’t the driver have swerved around him?”, and I said “NO! He would have gotten shot as he passed. The only safe thing is to stop the shooter.”
Didn’t hit him nearly hard enough
It is refreshing to see the driver realize he is in a 4000 pound weapon, and use it in self defense by running into the criminal, and tossing him harmlessly aside. I don’t know that I would have had the presence of mind. It is nice to see.
All of us driving are in a fantastic defensive weapon if it is called upon to use it in self defense. We just have to remember that.
Good going by the intended victim here. Good to see.
Plot twist: Driver was the thief, guy with the gun was the “good guy” trying to get his car back with the help of friends Smiling face with open mouth
Look at the suddenness with which everything happens. There is no time to think. Just act. The driver keeps rolling and immediately swerves. If his first reaction was to stop, the criminal would have had ample time to shoot into the car if the driver began moving again.
By not slowing, the initiative was maintained by the driver, and the would-be carjacker had no time to think about shooting. By maintaining speed and just swerving into the assailant, the criminal had no time to think about shooting into the car, and instead was instantly thrown on the defensive and tried to flee. This kept the driver from being shot at.
Had the driver’s initial reaction been to come to a full stop, then started moving forward, he could easily have been shot by the criminal. By maintaining speed, that changed everything in the situational dynamic. The perp went from offense to defense and had no time to think about shooting.
I wonder if I would have kept rolling or if my instinct would have been to come to a stop. It is not natural to run somebody over in your car. I have to wonder if I would have come to a complete stop, losing the initiative. I just don’t know.
The crime victim did the right thing - kept moving and maintained initiative.
Love it! Watched it about 10 times. Just had to laugh.... Is that too harsh?
He quickly turned that guy’s life around!
