Literal hit and run

Valencia is the best place to pull shit like this, everyone that witnesses it is going to be checking in on foursquare, tweeting it, or updating their facebook.

I hate people.

I'm trying to become mayor of hit and run corner. :x
 
At least the guy didn't ride off on a bicycle!:thumbup

If he'd ridden off there would have been two options.

1: He would have blended in with every other Valencia street cruising, floppy haired, skinny jeans wearing hipster chode on a fixie and escaped forever.
2: A quick stick through the spokes would have him on the ground.
 
Welcome to my world..... everyone stands around but no one takes the effort to stop the guy. Better to have the video rather than the driver.... amazing.

not attacking you personally, but how many times have you defended cops that shoot unarmed peeps because they made a threatening move/reached into their waist/looked like they had a weapon?
and now you're busting balls cause no one chased a felon? I'd bet donuts to dollars if a cop woulda chased him and the runner turned around suddenly, deadly force would become a viable outcome.
remember? only bad guys run.

how many cases in court right now where a good samaritan is sued for stopping a douchebag with force causing injury?

witnesses schmitnesses, a video is better proof than any six people telling six different versions of events.
 
Curiosity on my part, regarding your inference that no one had the ...common decency? to follow someone who just caused an accident, retrieved a backpack, and left the scene of the accident that looked like it caused injury (my understanding is that makes him a felon). I heard people yelling (to follow him? identifying him? I'm not a video testimony expert), and saw a few people head in the direction he went. He didn't saunter off, he fuckin ran.

It seems off-putting that you appear to hold society in general in contempt cause no one immediately gave chase/attempted to tackle the guy, but those exact same set of circumstances are grounds for a possible use-of-deadly force by the police if things go awry, with officer safety and split second decisions all that are needed to justify shooting an occasional innocent.

I hope I don't come off as antagonistic, or trolling, or whatever. That is not my intent. Not to make up scenarios to fit my point of view, but it isn't a stretch of the imagination to picture an officer shooting the bad guy just for reaching into the back of his truck, let alone grabbing a backpack and running away.
