Looks like somebody’s gonna have a bad next few years.
Wow.
I knew some medical school students who lived in those apartments but that was thirty years ago.
It was on the very edge of an acceptable neighborhood back then, but the ghetto is ever-expanding, like kudzu.
It’s close to Rhodes College. Not to far from where a student was murdered a few years back.
Hope the repo man will be ok.
Too bad, not advocating violence, but far too many people are just stupid, including the police.
If a car is moving, GET OUT OF THE WAY. I see cops try to jump on the hood or through the window—for what. Its stupid and it can get you killed. Stop being stupid.
You can make out from his head that those tires are pretty bald.
Four blocks from my house. Nothing but hood-rat animals over there.
I’ve had to deal with bad renters, who often have their cars reposed and are more or less in the same mental class. For the typical encounter, they seem normal, but with exposure they can’t make the simplest decisions. Do I spend forty dollars on lotto tickets or buy some food? If you guessed food, even knowing they were hungry, you got it wrong. The average IQ is 100. But it’s a Bell curve and there are plenty of people under the far-left side of that curve. Seventy is borderline retarded. But I’m guessing some people are at fifty or worse. And running over someone who is there to do his job without thinking of consequences is par for the course.
Did he open the trunk? Never let a repoman open your trunk. Never.
The life of a Repo Man is always intense.
Tow trucks are now sentient?
Or was the other guy driving a tow truck?
My buddy was seeking employment so he tried repo work. He was preparing to tow a car when a BMA yelled out to him: put your hands on that car and that is where they going to stay. He pulled away, no seizure and no job as he quit.
A friend of mine from childhood was having several difficulties in his life when the bank repo guy took his car a few days before Christmas. All his Christmas presents for his two young children were in the trunk.
I knew the bank president, and called him on the phone. As soon as he answered, I said, “Bah Humbug you Scrooge.” He asked what was wrong, and I explained the situation, saying that the negative publicity for the bank taking this car and children’s Christmas presents right before Christmas would cost the bank more than the value of the car.
He agreed, I gave him some money to get the loan current, and my friend got his car back that same day. The Grinch got a heart that day. (He also knew that the owner of the local radio station and the president of the local newspaper were friends and clients of mine so it would have been easy to get a tear jerker story out.)
Thankfully, that’s how small towns used to work. Not any more.
He could get a job as a speed bump if he’s unemployed
It used to be that American TV News would not show the viewer something like a man’s head being run over. The camera might break away or become a still shot at the last moment.
Now, apparently, the average viewer wants to see all of that detail.
Some News will even go further, and show someone within camera range, as they get killed.
It was just a few weeks ago, when some illegal chose a random woman sleeping on a subway, he threw some kind of fluid on her, then lit the lady on fire. The cameras showed the victim as she stood, immobilized by the pain, surrounded in leaping flames. That used to be called a Snuff Film.
That indeed was hard to watch. I guess the loss of his car has been added to by bigger problems, and deservedly so. I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t face attempted murder charges. He better hope that the guy survives.
Repo man got a new nickname now: Hardhead.
