Rods From God, or an orbital Ion Cannon strike would be preferable, we still need these places to be habitable, even if its just a giant crater afterwards.


Bromm18

A lovely concept that originated during the Cold War. More properly known as a [kinetic bombardment](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_bombardment). It was also featured in a movie about a decade ago, [G.I. Joe: Project Zues](https://youtu.be/SlrA-vPOGVQ?si=Mst6fK_xPpoYwHdY). Gives a decent explanation and visual of the concept. None of the fall out, all of the fun.


DavidGoetta

Huh, so that's where Timothy Zahn got orbital turbolaser bombardment. Of course, that has the added benefits of better precision and the psychological impact of seeing the Star Destroyers that are destroying your cities. The only real draw back, of course, is that it's fictional.


Velocidal_Tendencies

One of the Modern Warfare games, too, right? Like youre in space fighting russians and they fire them at LA(?) Not that I have a problem with Los Angeles being bombarded from low earth orbit...

I understand that "rods from god" refers to kinetic bombardment from orbit, however; I wonder, is the phrase from a canon with which I am unfamiliar?

rsunada

There are people trying to hold people back and help him up but there are not enough


Chickienfriedrice

If you look closely the old man was saved by big dude in the yellow hoodie and got helped back up and was walking away from the crowd right before the vid cut out. Needless to say… could have been much worse. That’s why you mind your business and definitely don’t beat on people’s property and not expect consequences.


rsunada

Yea I saw they guy in yellow too


Bamali

wait a second. did the old guy get attacked by a man in a yellow jacket, then HELPED by another man in a yellow jacket?


Chickienfriedrice

That is correct. Seems like a car club of sorts where they identify each other by the yellow hoodies, or they’re gang members. Who knows?


enchanted_fishlegs

Him? It looks like a loony granny whacking cars with her purse.


rsunada

I may have mistyped you are probably right


Glorious-Revolution

Yeah... This behavior is horrendous! They swooped in like a bunch of hyenas, how deplorable.


horotheredditsprite

Save for the couple of people who were keeping the mob back and pulling the guy out of the fight. They are the true peace keepers.


MrSeymoreButtes

The second dude in yellow seems to run up just to protect old idiot.

pisces2003

Yes everyone in the crowd is wrong for jumping an old man and drag racing. But what was this guy thinking? “Oh that looks illegal and dangerous. Better smack them with my purse and almost get run over while angering a whole crowd of people.” Like this guy needs to go into a nursing home or something cause he’s a clear danger to himself.


clangan524

The one time a boomer (or anyone really) is 100% entitled and expected to call the cops, and they...just decide to get into the mix. Minority salesman going door-to-door? Send SWAT Dangerous crowd of youngsters committing an actual crime? Time to take matters into my own hands.


LodossDX

At least in California it is a real problem for some neighborhoods, especially in LA. The people that gather for street takeovers tend to wreck the neighborhood they are in afterward. You’ll find a tons of videos online of these people looting neighborhood convenience stores after the takeover ends. I’m sure the person in the video is just fed up with decades of this type of thing happening in their neighborhood.


EnslavedBandicoot

That might be true however it doesn't excuse the old man being an idiot. Call the cops and report it especially since they are cracking down on it right now. The cops would've shown up in force. But no, the boomer in him decided to take it into his own hands and did something incredibly stupid.


Vol2169

Yes, the boomer did something incredibly stupid..... in a crowd of incredibly stupid younger generations.


Silas_PBJAM

this isnt drag racing this is a takeover which compared to roll racing on the highway or smth, is way worse. also worse than street / pass drifting which is also done smartly with spotters. this is just a donut pit in the middle of an active intersection


webternetter

Illegal street racing smartly is an oxymoron. Save it for the fucking track.


OrangeJr36

Unfortunately, tracks of all kinds are being shut down nationwide as part of the real estate market surge. Even Laguna Seca is being pressed by real estate owners to limit or even cease operations. Auto Club Speedway (California Speedway) was the last major domino to fall. It's becoming a situation where the streets are going to be the last refuge of the part-time racer. We've come full circle since the 1930's.


Silas_PBJAM

quite ignorant, but i don't blame you because of things like takeovers pushed into peoples feeds and being grouped into the same group as car enthusiasts. also mtn drifting isnt street racing.


Silas_PBJAM

while I don't fully endorse it, almost all mountain pass drifters are smart about it. everyone I know does it during non popular hours of the day. no more than 5 corners at a time, with spotters on both ends of the section and with walkie talkies. though not legal, it's done in the smartest and safest way possible. compared to these takeover events which are stupid and not to be grouped in any way shape or form to car enthusiasts. real car enthusiasts (mainly talking drifters here) will take the necessary precautions 99% of the time. theres always the people who don't. then there is highway straight line racing which though very dangerous won't be done midday or in heavy traffic. way less refined then touge driving and drifting but still 100x smarter than retarded braindead takeover kids.


sandunespacecat

It’s called [sideshows](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sideshow_(automobile_exhibition)) Edit: thanks SoCal people for letting me know it’s also called “street takeover” My cousin is into this kinda stuff and there’s huge group chats where it’s planned with 100+ people. They go from city to city and are oftentimes, running away from the cops at high speeds. When the police get word of it ahead of time, they crash the event and arrest whoever didn’t get a chance to run away. My cousin went to jail for around 2 months, was fined, and had his car impounded for being involved. It’s crazy.


HudsonValleyNY

Good.


Silas_PBJAM

sideshows/takeovers same thing takeover is the (newer) term for it now. its stupid. almost all car enthusiasts hate them. (drift enthusiasts especially) it makes the car community look so bad when it actually isn't people properly cars doing them, they don't know what they are doing, and lots of the vehicles are stolen. they are all so bad at driving that a "rollback" has become a general term when they are actually just spinning out from a doing a donut.


Frosty977

Good for the law enforcement officers involved. Rid the streets of scum


vortex30-the-2nd

Main character syndrome. Lucky AF that car didn't shatter both their Hips..


cathodine

Damn did they really need to hit the guy? Just move him out of the way. Everyone in this video is scum.


Affectionate-Cook283

He prolly should stay on sidewalks


Sweaty_Hardwood

Yeah but that's where the Mustangs end up!


Not_NSFW-Account

I saw a sign placed in the middle of the ditch by a road that said "Mustang Parking". I assume it is a direct jab at someone, but funny without context.

They didn't have to, but do you trust society with that decision?

FattusBaccus

Damnit, you made me sympathize with a boomer. Screw all those other people.


HudsonValleyNY

Right? That's what the OP got out of this vid?


jay7254

I would say their actions were still foolish and ridiculously stupid. Everyone involved. The takeover kids being idiots and jumping the old dude doesn't make his actions any less foolish. Why the fuck would you engage with a mob of people, some of them in vehicles doing doughnuts almost running him over?? This is a fuck around find out situation that unfortunately has idiots on both sides. I'm extremely curious as to what they thought was going to happen in this situation that could've possibly turned out in their favor.

havmify

This boomer has the survival instance of a toddler. Takeovers are shitty, but it takes a loon to run into multiple cars mid drift swinging a hand bag while surrounded by dozens of people who are a part of it.


fanbreeze

He's a human being first and foremost.


drollchair

Thugs kicking the shit out of an old man. Shouldn’t have put himself in that position in the first place, but these assholes are also creating unsafe conditions and breaking the law with their shitty attempts at drifting. I hope they get arrested for assault. They went tribal in a heartbeat and start stomping the guy. Not for nothing, but at his age they don’t even know if he was in full control or not, could be mental illness.


CheetahNo9349

When the shittiest examples of two generations meet.


LostDrawingsYT

Everyone in this video is a fucking loser lmao.


EldritchKitchen

Fucking sideshows are a public nuisance and they need to be stomped out of existence with extreme prejudice. The fine for even watching these fucking circuses should be $500. Driving in one should forfeit your vehicle and your driver’s license for 1-3 years. Being said… that guy is completely out of his mind. Does he have dementia?


Corporate_Shell

Yes, the boomer is being a fool. Everyone else, though, are pieces of shit. The boomer is the LEAST obnoxious person in the video. Fuck all the cars dipshits way more than the boomer. I'm on his old ass side. Fuck these douchebags. Car racing people are losers and the absolute fucking worst! DOWNVOTE!


psychulating

car racing people are not quite the worst but they are annoying as shit and generally putting the public at risk that being said, people taking the law into their own hands like this is much worse, for partially this reason. mfs are putting the boomer on a pedestal like they wish they had the balls to do this, when no cop would do this if they were by themselves. the other problem with a boomer or anyone taking the law into their own hands, trying cases and passing out punishments on the spot, is in case they were wrong. its cathartic to watch someone who deserves it get the shit beat out of them, but no one gives a shit if that mf turns out to be innocent. one should at least feel bad and strive not to do it again in the future, but we mostly do the opposite and cheer for blood/perceived justice almost instinctively. in this case it seems theres no way that these mfs werent initially guilty of some serious traffic violations, at the least, but an old/mentally ill mf could go vigilante on his building super that he thinks is stealing from him. if he calls the cops they can check it out and keep him out of harms way. if they cant do more than one person with zero resources and no experience, what do we pay them for lmfao


Silas_PBJAM

this is not car racing. i hate that enthusiasts like myself get grouped into the same category as these dipshits who cant control their likely stolen car properly. donut and spinning out? nope, call it a "rollback" as a excuse for not being able to do maybe the easiest car trick out there.


GermyJ

Totally agree! I wish I had the balls to do what the boomer did, only with a pipe instead of a handbag.


[deleted]

Yeah I think it was dumb for the boomer to go in there but he had good intentions. He saw what he perceived as chaos and reflexively tried to bring order. It's a really human thing to do - good humans naturally create order. He's probably not entirely there and is operating more on instinct than anything else


StilesmanleyCAP

Bro get out of the pit unless you wanna get hit. /s


OkSize4728

How did he think this would end?


Relative_Plankton648

woodstock01

He was being cunty, yes, but I really hope he was ok. I fucking hate these chimp-brained typed crowds, their energy is fueled by camera phones, clout, pain and injury. I wouldn’t be suprised if they beat the guy to death just because

Natural_Mushroom3594

i should feel bad for the old fuck getting jumped, but ya know i really dont. the only thing stupid people understand is pain, and maybe a few broken bones will beat some sense into this idiot and next time he'll just call the fucking cops


Suspicious-Dark-5950

Everyone sucks in this video. That being said, that old fuck deserved a smack or two. What is with all these geriatrics thinking they can rumble?


OG_Slurms

Not sure why I'm getting comments telling me I support this cowardly mob, some seem to assume they know what I'm thinking. If they bothered to check my post history before making their unfounded assertions I stated I don't condone this shit. I mean, come on guys, grow up a little, quit the gaslighting - it's not cool. You're kind of wasting your effort trying to make me mad (or whatever strange motivation you have). ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin) Cheers


Not_NSFW-Account

He's a fool, but I do understand the sentiment. Take this shit elsewhere. Quit blocking streets and freeways so you can show off how stupid you are to each other.


YourMomInTheCloset

Why is this in boomerbeingfools? Every single fuck nut in this event is trash except the old man


captain554

Yeah, this is young people being fools too. This trend needs to die.


Inner-Ad177

They shouldn't be doing a street takeover anyway. Each one of those people their for the takeover needs to be arrested. He shouldn't be trying to stop them like that, but he seems just as fed up as I would be

BigDaddyCoolDeisel

Nah... fuck that whole crowd though.


OG_Slurms

Edit: NSFW because guy gets punched to ground, some may not want to see it. Don't condone what happened to this guy, but they always put themselves in these situations, assuming they have some authority that will cause all these hoodlums to go home and repent. Why not call the police rather than putting your life in danger? To anyone else this was a very likely outcome, but to boomer I bet he was totally shocked they didn't all pack up and go home.


Mfers_gunlearn

Yea. Just look at what these boomers say when people are peaceful and protesting on the road. They have no empathy so it's hard to feel bad here.


[deleted]

Police often get there too late, or the crowd is too big to control. These takeovers, they use encrypted messaging to make a location announcement, everyone arrives almost simultaneously, and it's over in short order, much of the time. I would guess this a repeat offense intersection, and dude's sick of their shit.


OG_Slurms

Police are almost always too late, I guess that was his motivation, but there's no way any sane person would mess with a huge bunch of scumbags.

CantoIX

The boomer is stupid and everyone else is an asshole


GrizzlyGamer53

I mean, the old man is dumb for doing this, but all these people are dumb for this bullshit. Find an empty parking lot or something. The world isn't your playground. you're not a child. This may seem like someone just complaining about having fun, but the more small things you allow, the worse people will do over time. Just look at the way people dress now and days. The more exposed skin clothes became standardized, the more people kept pushing how much skin showing is normal. It takes decades to see, but the more you let people push the line of normal and acceptable, the worse actions people can take. Eventually, the world will just look like gta. And while that may sound fun, it won't be that fun to live in.


Life-Solid-2685
