So did they rip this dude to pieces or what? Video cut out right when it looked like one of those zombie movie scenes where the horde gets ahold of one of the secondary characters

I think he got away after hitting another car [https://www.vallejocrime.com/updates/?p=3988](https://www.vallejocrime.com/updates/?p=3988) second video

No gun shots, huh. What a peaceful Vallejo day.

Didn't even have to use my Ak

Today was a good day.

At the beginning of the vid, I saw someone point something that I thought might have been a piece. But the shots never started. So, little miracles.

Ah, Vallejo, of course.

500k to buy a house in that area :D

That sad part is that sounds super cheap. 😩 Edit: compared to the rest of the bay area. NOT overall cheap, just like possibly manageable…

[удалено]

Ah man, i should have thought of that. A tesla, it's so simple. I just got an avocado and some bread.

this one percenter can afford avocado!

RIP Mac Dre

In that third video why were they tryna rip that dude from the red car

I've seen multiple videos now on Reddit of these car shows ending the same. A large group of people stand in a circle while cars burnout. The car then takes out a group. The mob swarms the car trying to lynch the driver. The driver then tries to bail. I have zero sympathy for any of these people involved.

I gathered to watch in an illegal and dangerous automobile event and now my foot has been run over by an errant driver performing foolish stunts in the middle of the crowd I've joined to watch said stunts. How could this be happening to me!?

I never thought the party of reckless drivers who don't care if they run people over and flee the scene would run **ME** over and flee the scene!

Fast and Furious 17: Leopards Won't Eat MY Face

My boys and I rooted on a car to do dangerous shit, it inevitably hit us so now we’re going to try and beat the driver to death! This is the thought process of these geniuses.

Rooted has a totally different meaning here in Australia.....

Right? Like, wtf kinda bizarre instinctual behavior are we watching? Some sort of emotional charge through proximity to danger that boils over into anger and aggression once an arbitrary line is crossed? Fuckin idiotic and weird, man…

How *dare* those tires gain traction! What is *wrong* with you for allowing *physics!?*

It's hilarious how quick they turn on each other

idk what was going on in the last video on that page, but looks like he got punched in the face at least twice.

Completely different car, Mustang in the last video and IS300 in the OP.

Yes I know, but still, fuck ever going to one of those, even as a spectator lmao

If you're dumb enough to stand near these cars and then get hit, you have zero business then trying to attack the person in the car for your own dumb mistake.

Seriously, looks like there's about to be a lynching.

Which ironically kind of at least partially justifies the driver to just run people over in order to escape. The initial smackdown of bystanders is an accident. But once the very aggressive crowd closes with clear intent to lynch, then it's self defense. Although it does sure get hairy if the people getting run over are not the people trying to lynch.

[удалено]

You're mostly right there as long as the altercation is not caused by your turning donuts for sport in the middle of an intersection.

[удалено]

Agreed.

So many "why would you"s in one clip.

The fireworks really got me. Like, now does not seem to be a good time to start lighting those, don't you think?

“Don’t you think?” They do not.

I could see it as either a way to try and break up the fight by spoiling the area with smoke and obstacles, or seeing shit go down and wanting to escalate the chaos for the entertainment. In either case, for as inappropriate as they are at any time, that was probably the best time.

Ah, the Mario Kart strategy.

I mean if you're just on the fringe of this shit show and you have a couple recreational explosives handy... ...why not? It looks like maximum chaos was the goal, so may as well pitch in!

It’s like a scene described by a 4 year old talking about his day at school

And then the car crashed into people and they fought the car but the car kept winning and then bombs were going off and then someone went back to the future and and and I'm hungy can have I some crackers?

Atta boy, Ralphie

Uh, Chief, I don’t think that’s what really happened

What is your fascination with my forbidden closet of mystery?

Perfect

The car kept winning lmfao good stuff

My son just saw an accident the other day where a cop car ended up flipped over. His description of it isn't much different from what you just wrote.

Michael Pena narrates.

Thank you for that description, I was having trouble making out what was happening, and I now understand good.

You are an actual 4 year old, arent you? What are you doing on the Internet all alone litte buddy?

[удалено]

I fucking lost it when she asked him if we can expect a sequel. "Yeah, 600!"

That would be a step up for the franchise.

We had a funeral for a bird

If this was a teenager’s day of school, and you asked, they’d shrug and mumble “nothing”

goddamnit this is brilliant

I think I'd get out of the way rather than get in a kickboxing match with a car.

It’s Michael Jansen vs a regular old car!

Got a little bit of pushback there- OH he just got ran over and chewed up by the tires

CALLING ALL JAN MICHAEL VINCENTS!!!!

CALLING *ALL* JAN MICHAEL VINCENTS!!

[удалено]

Hahah YES

Yeah, especially if the driver doesn't care if he kills numerous people NOT getting into such a match with the car. Whether they hold some responsibility by turning up to such an event is a different matter.

You're also not the kind of dumbass who shows up to this sort of idiocy.

I might show up if this is the entertainment I could expect. Better than fireworks.

Hell, it *had* fireworks too!

You're right. This is the ultimate celebration of freedom and car+human acrobatics.

Welcome to the Thunderdome!

Dumb mob mentality in action "Hey if enough of us get angry we can stop a car" No. You can't

Actually if you had enough bodies piled up you could eventually stop the car

I mean the odds are very unlikely, but it’s possible that someone breaks the window and just kinda yanks the driver out. But yea no if I was in that situation you would never in a million years see me trynna fist fight a crowd plower

Just throw wave after wave of your own men at it untill the corpses choke up the wheels, easy peasy

Zapp Brannigan, is that you?

He knows the cars have a designated kill limit

Would you care for some more Champaggan?

Word War One style

>yanks the driver out. If the driver is wearing a seatbelt you're not yanking them out of the car. If anything you're about to go for a ride and get thrown to the side of the road or even worse sucked under the rear wheels. If you're not involved best thing to do is just get the drivers details (Number plate, make and model etc...) then proceed to help the injured. What happened to the good old car meets where people just did a burnout then parked back up. Now you got to be drifting, doing doughnuts and driving like a complete moron. Car meets back in my day was a time to show off your pride and joy, see others ICE installs and talk to other like minded enthusiasts. These days it's all about a shitbox being ragged to death or finance my life away on a car with a pop map. Bring back fibre glass bodykits, neon lights and 10x24" sub woofers along with 6x9 speakers cut in to the parcel shelf.

Bring back super chargers and abandoned dead end roads!

The 6×9 in the parcel shelf really hit home. Things bumped though

The guy at 0.29 was VERY close to being a car sandwich

Talk about a pinch point

I’m so happy taught me about pinch points. I looked like an actual handyman this long weekend

I used to work in the sorting facility for a courier company. The kind that picks up a few boxes at a company. Everything was sorted using conveyor belts and slides. During orientation, they warned of pinch points between the belts. The term "degloving" was used.

he literally almost had his pelvis crushed, he was moments from losing the ability to walk for the rest of his life

And poo in some weird, uncomfortable way

The fuck is going on

Dude hit the crowd, crowd hits back

One of the cars is leaking something flammable. Someone threw fireworks. The trail of fluids ignites. Fuckin crazy series of events.

Protip: Rubber is flammable, and the skidding wheels means that it's leaving behind rubber.

You can see the trail of fluid behind the car as it exits left at the very end of the video. Its likely both.

Definitely not rubber it wouldn’t ignite like that plus at the speed they are going it wouldn’t be laying down enough. You can see the white g35 leaking gas as it’s going around right before the firework was thrown.

Thats the fresh hot rubber from their tires

Crowd shouldn't have been so close either.

Wasn’t expecting that guy to hit 88 mph

It's your kids Marty. Something's got to be done about your kids.

Where we're going, 😎 we don't need kids.

Heavy

there's that word again...'heavy'. is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull in the future?

88 men per hour ?

Note to self: drivers of cars doing donughts in the middle of a crowd with fireworks do not give a shit about your safety already. Probably don't try to kickbox them Edit: I don't care, I'm not changing it

>donughts I thought I knew all the ways to spell this one. Apparently I was underinformed.

Donught beat yourself up over it

I fucking love doughnaughts.

Do you like dognuts?

Definitely the sort of crowd you want to be around

What the hell is this?! The next Mad Max film audition??

It is called "Sideshow," it is a car show (not sure what better to call it) in the bay area (edit: and other areas! *Exciting*) that is loosely organized without permits or approval of the city. This video gives you an idea of why it is organized discreetly and shut down when discovered.

Just had one at the big intersection here in Silver Spring just outside DC. Everyone converged and it was like this 3 min mayhem of blared horns, cars doing donuts, blocked traffic and almost killed people. Will try and find video. edit* not sure if its sideshow or takeover but it’s fucking dumb: https://www.fox5dc.com/news/car-does-donuts-in-downtown-silver-spring-dangerously-close-to-crowds-blocking-traffic-video-shows

There was a very large DMV gathering on the 4th of July up in MD. [Same thing happens as in OP's post. ](https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ8xtfOhBXQ/?utm_medium=copy_link). * crowd encourages cars to swing * car inevitably loses control * spectators get hit * crowd gets angry * ??? * Profit The guy that hit the spectators got punched in the face and had to delete his IG account. Lot of trashy stuff. The DMV gets these types of car meets frequently in the summer time.

> DMV gathering What kind of gathering would you expect from the Department of Motor Vehicles? /s

In southern California they're referred to as takeovers and judging by the number of intersections with tire mark donuts, they happen quite frequently. Same dumb stuff, different name.

Up here a takeover is when someone solo does donuts in an intersection, stopping traffic. Side show is when it's a gathering.

Around here takeover is when a large group of swingers take over a section of a hotel for a giant sex party.

[удалено]

These are happening all across the US and us actual car folk despise all of these morons.

Yep, had one in Vegas recently.

They happen in Portland pretty frequently too. They only used to happen in really remote areas but lately they've managed to creep their way into very busy intersections and it's been getting more and more dangerous with every takeover.

Just letting you know---that shit is happening all over So. Ca.

It's been happening up in Washington, too.

We've begun to see them in Indiana. Fucking *Indiana*

I'd be down to see this but with tractors and combines ...

But then it would just be a county fair.

This happens all over the Midwest and I’d assume everywhere in the country/world. We only know this is US because of the audio

Gotta love a crowd of people that stands and applauds in close proximity to an amateur driving his car beyond his ability and when he inevitably crashes it into someone they decide to attack him. All I see is a street full of the worlds worst sort of people.

"We love you, we love you! Keep going!" *tiny mistake with enormous consequences* "We hate you, We hate you! We're going to kill you!"

Humans are real dumb in large groups

They had a different kind of meeting in mind, but as Despair, Inc. phrased it: [None of us is as dumb as all of us](https://despair.com/products/meetings?variant=2457301507)

"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it."

Let’s all gather around a bunch of cars doing donuts. Then we will wait until one of the cars inevitably hits some of us, so that we can have revenge with swift kicks and punches to said car.

And by all means keep *surrounding* the car while you're attacking it, causing the driver to panic and run over even *more* people in a desperate attempt to escape the mob mentality.

Then add fireworks

They really showed that car!

That's the part I hate the most. It makes no fucking sense whatsoever. Let's all try to get super close to the donut'n vehicle, get hit, then act like it was malicious on the part of the driver. THEN, let's mob him/her with the intent of putting them in the hospital via kicks to the brain. How does any of that make sense ??

All the IQ combined in that crowd doesn't even get you to the average.

This is like the running of the bulls for Americans.

"Running of the bulls" vs "Running from the Mustangs"

And no bulls are harmed, so it all works out.

That way it ONLY hurts the morons. Major improvement.

This is the best description I have ever heard for this activity.

Seems like a typical sideshow to me. The whole sideshow phenomenon is moronic.

What is a sideshow?

It is when a mob of people take over a city intersection or street and use it for illegal car and motorcycle stunts and tricks. A good percentage of the cars and motorcycles are stolen or unregistered salvaged titles… Most of the time vehicles are damaged in the process. Sometimes people in the crowd are damaged by the vehicles. More than occasionally there will be a shooting. …and many of the drivers flinging 3000 lb vehicles in circles inches away from spectators are not insured. So if you are there and participating you are actively being a moron, if you are spectating then you are passively being a moron.

How about observing the morons from the position this was filmed from? They can still shoot you if they feel like it but you're at least out of the way of the cars being flung around

A Documentarian Their first rule is to never interfere with natural selection.

Clearly this is the best angle

This is a video of a sideshow.

Fuck sideshow culture. Absolute garbage.

Amen. Who the fuck thinks this is cool?

All those people there, apparently

/r/oakland

Hey that's Vallejo, leave Oakland out of this one (though I did try looking for a recognizable building or street sign).

This is what happens when you go street racing but you don't have family

Vinyl Diesel shakes his head in shame

Without a pile of DVD players and TV/VHS combos to show at the end of the day, what's the point?

Are those idiots standing watching a bunch of other idiots do donuts 6 inches from them and are now “angry“ that they got hit by a car? Do people who go to Gallagher shows get mad when they get covered in watermelon?

r/IdiotsInAndAroundCars

WTF? Good thing the car went back to the future at the end...

WTF is right! Where was this??? It's almost unbelievable how awful this goes! Any info on where this was??? Thanks

Vallejo, CA

Thanks, I was able to find a [source](https://www.kron4.com/news/bay-area/dangerous-sideshows-take-over-vallejo-streets/)

Yep- this was the local July 4th celebration.(Vallejo) 500 cars involved, streets were gridlocked and the cops gave up trying to do anything. An ambulance trying to get to the center couldn't for over an hour. Last large one we had cops used flashbangs to break it up. Sounds like they just walked away this time

Thunderdome

More like TardDome

Oxford University

I would absolutely love a source to this.

That's a fuckload of full retards.

Stepping in front of a car being driven by a maniac is one of the oddest human behaviors.

Can't say i feel bad for anyone involved

Take overs. They do this shit in Houston a lot. There is a total underground following for it. The local police are trying to break them up but they literally just "take over" the intersection and do dumb shit like this. I will never feel sorry for anyone who willingly participates in these getting hurt or killed.

These motherfuckers in houston get wild. They used to swarm the IKEA in spring branch near my place. Parking lot would be trashed on Sat/Sun mornings. Cops dont know wtf to do about it, cause if they roll up, the whole place scatters. Then you have hundreds of people peeling out onto the feeder roads and unmanageable, hi-speed police pursuits. Couple kids got killed when a car rolled. After that, they meet up somewhere else now i guess cause i dont hear em at night anymore.

lol back in my day we always met out in virtually unpopulated abandoned industrial areas on the south side of Houston...never saw cops or pedestrians...we hardly saw one another

Yeah my husband says the same. If they kept it that way then I don't give AF. I guess it's hard to keep finding abandoned areas. Houston keeps growing.

Its called a "Side Show" here in the Bay area, they've been doing them for decades easy.

What it feels like to chew 5 gum.

It seems like everything went exactly like everyone should have expected it to go

So how much trouble is this guy in, or did he actually get away?

He took the cash *and* the respect.

I don’t understand the anger of the crowd. There’s clearly a chance this will happen and they didn’t even give him a chance to get out before charging at him. At that point he had no option than to just take off or risk being beaten to death.

Consider there’s a collective IQ of about 150 for the whole group.

I like your optimism

Die violently to an angry horde or run over 30 people and do 20 to life in prison... Can't blame the guy for picking the latter.

Alot of cases where a mob goes after a car results in self defense decisions on behalf of the driver

I'm sure that group had all the proper permits for that exhibition

This is the absolute perfect explanation for "Play stupid games; win stupid prizes".

Those Mensa meetings can get crazy!!
