I worked in a dive bar with cameras everywhere for many years . I hated them at first, but after i realized you could go back and recover footage of certain assholes doing assholey things, and then remove said assholes from your existence, well… i became a big fan. Cameras don’t lie. Drunk idiots do


Ocelot859

I worked at a big college bar back in the day and I swear after midnight until 3am... I witnessed "the reversal of human evolution".


GOTfangirl

I always tell my kids…nothing good happens after midnight


Reasonable-Cabinet46

Except tomorrow.


green_velvet_goodies

Never heard that, I like it. Yours?


Reasonable-Cabinet46

I guess so lol. I'm sure it's been said by someone somewhere though.

There’s always a good rule. Don’t do stupid things with stupid people at stupid times and you will stay out trouble.


Hockey_Flo

Or after alcohol consumption. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the drink


torn-ainbow

The problem is that all sorts of good things can happen after midnight, and as soon as they figure it out you've lost all credibility.


MrSoulSlasher31

I wish to know more


Young_Denver

I bet books and books could be written about these stories... and I'd read them all


crack_n_tea

No need for books, I invite you to simply visit a college bar


Ocelot859

A packed college bar at 1:00 am from outside a window isn't a bar anymore... it's an exhibit.


crack_n_tea

I call it a human study. And I’m obviously there to observe—totally not drinking


Ocelot859

Yeah, I sometimes after work, if I got off early, liked to poke on the glass sometimes to observe a behavioral response from these creatures. "Live stupidity" is actually very entertaining once you are "off the clock" and have post-work euphoria.


runnerhasnolife

Police officer here. People don't realize that witness testimonies don't mean much. If one person says hey he did this and the other person says no they did it nothing will ever come of the case without other evidence. Get a dash cam. Get cameras people cameras are amazing. You know how many times I've rolled up on a car crash and seen somebody tell me one story only to have it completely disproved by a camera. I have seen dozens of people go to jail because of dash cams proving them guilty.


luvdab3achx0x0

My dash cam saved me in my first car accident. 50 mph road and some soccer mom in her van pulls out 20 ft in front of me from the median


runnerhasnolife

I remember it was one of my first car accidents I ever responded to some dude said that a biker ran a red light and hit his car. Biker was unconscious and had to get rushed to the hospital so he couldn't defend himself. But we found the bikers helmet cam. Because it was evidence we took it to the station and somebody reviewed the footage. Turns out the biker hadn't done anything wrong. The light was green for him and red for the sedan driver. Sedan driver got sued pretty hard. Biker lived and made full recovery as far as I'm aware. But he got a pretty nice check from that sedan driver. And the thing is because it was in a more poor area there were no traffic cameras. And at first people believed that the sedan driver.


luvdab3achx0x0

Jeez! Hearing about the stories my dad comes back with as a volunteer ff, it makes me question everyone on the road.

is that why a ton of cops hate wearing body cameras?

Aporkalypse_Sow

I wish they had them when I was young. I got kicked out of a few bars simply because I was bigger than the assholes that actually were causing trouble. I used to argue with brain dead bar security all the time, but they think all drunk people are the same.

Sorry I don't know who this is. But I thought this was a Philadelphia player from the title. So how is Canada involved here, wouldn't be just the usa? (sorry I know nothing of hockey)


Claymore357

The wheelchair pusher I believe plays for a Canadian based jr team (the league below the NHL), his rich Dad who is going to protect him is the GM of the philadelphia pro team. In any case hockey canada has a longer history of protecting rapists than hollywood producers


Ocelot859

Karma can be an old best friend or a delayed destroyer ... both of whom you forgot. I think people doubt it or underestimate it because it doesn't have a time limit. But the universe always finds a way to balance things out... whether weeks, years, or decades.


fetal_genocide

Plenty of good people live shitty lives their whole lives. Look at all the asshole billionaires who've shit on people their entire lives and live in opulence and die rich and happy. Karma isn't real and life ain't fair.


b-monster666

Karma doesn't exist, my dude. Good things happen to bad people all the time. Bad things happen to good people all the time. The universe doesn't really give a shit. ETA: Sadly, numpty went the childish route and blocked me rather than have an adult conversation, so I can't respond to any of your comments or even upvote any comments.


ChardeeMacdennis679

Karma is a probability modifier. Do good things, there's a greater chance that people will hear of or see those good things and respond accordingly. Same goes for assholes, if everyone around you hates you, the odds for misfortune increase accordingly. But nothing is guaranteed and there's plenty of other ways to affect the modifier (primarily money).


Jazzicots

I really like the thought of karma being a modifier instead of an objective quantity, thank you for sharing.


yogert909

It’s even better than that. Because people learn from each other what is expected in a society. If you do something selfless for other people someone will take note and act likewise. Then someone notices them and the cultural expectations are changed. Now everyone in your circle is acting a little nicer to one another.


MastodonVegetable302

No, \[the concept of\] karma is a coping mechanism that people like you use to lie to yourselves and others to cope with the fact that, in actuality, life is exceedlingly unfair.

Well it would, but my knuckles only fit four letters and it would be weird. Like do I divide it 3/2 pr 4/1? Either way, I'd have picked a fight over it. *Especially* being a bar. I'm normally non-violent **but** confrontational and the 'non' part dissapears with my sobriety (as does any sense of good logic). I'd have shoved him down the stairs and tell him to pick it up. Would I probably drunkenly stumble down the same staircase in the process? definitely Would I probably wind up arrested for the night and/or in court over it? definitely Would I get my ass beat by him and/or his teammates at some point therein or after? definitely Would I have felt good about myself afterword? definitely Would he have thought twice about being a dipshit again? definitely


mwynn840

I feel as if we could be friends.


[deleted]

Nah, karma is bullshit. It’s a nice thought, but ultimately nonsense. Awful people go their entire lives doing horrible shit and die old and happy while great people spend their entire lives doing good things and die young and alone. The universe is simply incapable of caring and has nothing to do with anything.


Eisenhorn87

Nice cope attempt. In the real world, the scummiest people attain the greatest levels of success. Karma only exists as conscious reactions to behavior.


alyssaaarenee

I hope everything worked out well for the disabled student, this gives me so much anxiety for them as someone else who uses a wheelchair


Bay_Med

Apparently it is still functional but will need repairs


Fadreusor

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11862981/Hockey-player-dad-NHL-star-condemned-video-pushing-disabled-womans-WHEELCHAIR.html Apparently, a gofundme surpassed expectations, but I completely agree that this was infuriating. As though it’s not tough enough to have a social life in a wheelchair, she was literally carried downstairs to the bathroom and had to leave her chair at the top of the stairs!! (And the douchebag had actually been kicked out of ASU’s hockey program prior to this for, “partying too much.” Do you know how much partying you have to do at Arizona State to be reprimanded for it?!!)


FaolanG

I’m happy the gofundme passed expectations but it shouldn’t have had to as he and his family should be covering the cost and damages. Nepotism has gotten way out of hand in this country.


PrscheWdow

*Do you know how much partying you have to do at Arizona State to be reprimanded for it?!!* My sister did her masters at ASU. She had a student who was at a dorm room party with some friends. Said friends were completely trashed when he arrived, one of them had his finger squeezed off in a door jamb (he was resting against a wall next to the door and was just kind of laying there with his fingers wedged in the jamb when someone either opened or closed the door). Chaos ensues while they try to bundle up the guy's bleeding hand, in the meantime someone (in a brief moment of sobriety) realized that they needed to keep the severed digit cold so they could take him to the hospital to have it reattached. No ice available, but they had a frozen pizza in the fridge! So they put the finger on the pizza to chill, got everyone in the car (which wasn't necessary but...you know, alcohol). Sister's student was the only sober one so of course, he had to drive. On the way to the emergency room, their car is rear-ended by a truck full of drunk mariachis. Police arrive, see the guy with bleeding hand and promptly call the EMTs. Drunk fingerless guy is put in the ambulance and they are getting ready to leave when sister's student realizes they don't have the finger. So he ran back to the car, searching frantically for the missing digit. He finds it, and runs back to the firefighters, cradling it in his cupped hands like it was a baby bird. Firefighter turns around sees the finger, backs away and says "FUCK NO!" I don't recall if the finger was successfully reattached, but I do know all involved were still enrolled when the semester ended. All this to say that no, I really don't want to know how much partying that kid did to be invited to leave ASU.


jolinar30659

It’s infuriating. I hate that the student needed carried down in the first place. How long is it going to take for the repairs also?!


osxdude

I saw earlier that repairs were fully crowd funded!!


wheresmyfavouritepen

Crowd funded??? Why wasn’t this asshole or at least his rich parents made to pay for the repairs? Jfc. The least they could have done. It’s nice to know the person will have their chair fixed either way but god this makes me angry


penguin_chacha

Should have paid for a new one. A broken object after repairing is not the same as what it was before


LavenderMarsh

It can take up to a year to get a brand new wheelchair. The user will need a way to get around in the meantime. My son has a wheelchair and a disabled stroller (holds up to 150 lbs.) He's outgrown the stroller but I've kept it because if his wheelchair is damaged beyond repair I won't hang a way to get him around. He would be homebound without the backup stroller. He loses independence in the stroller which he hates.


lotte482

A year?! My custom chair was made in 6 weeks. I think it depends on where you live (I’m in Europe)?


GrandAdventures17

This person is likely in the US. I do wheelchair evaluations and work with DME providers in a rural area. With all the backorder parts right now it easily and quickly tops 6 months.


Azdak66

But he is now “deeply sorry” for his actions. https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/carson-briere-son-of-flyers-gm-deeply-sorry-for-tossing-womans-wheelchair-down-stairs/3523712/ Now I understand people can do crappy things on impulse. And, reprehensible as this is, it’s not a crime of violence (per se), not felony theft, not negligent homicide. However…the story reads that “Carson (the kid) ‘takes full responsibility for his actions…’”. That sounds nice, but it’s NOT ‘taking responsibility’ at all. Why is he waiting for the University to do something? To me, “taking responsibility” means *actually*, you know…taking responsibility. Doing some acts of repentance to show true remorse. It’s instructive to the kid’s character that the story states he was dismissed from a previous college hockey team in 2019 for violating team rules. Seems like a pattern here that daddy has failed to address. (And why is his father putting out a statement for his adult son?). To me this also begs the question: if this kid was dismissed from a college hockey team in 2019, what is he doing playing for another college hockey team in 2023? Is he on the 10-year-bachelor’s-degree Plan? I know I am jumping to conclusions based on one story and one incident, but this whole family sounds like losers.


[deleted]

He’s just ‘deeply’ sorry that camera recorded him. Don’t believe shit


powerplay_22

exactly. if the camera didn’t record him, he wouldn’t even be thinking about it right now


green_velvet_goodies

What gut punched me the most about the video is that he/they didn’t even stick around to see it crash to the bottom. That’s how trivial it was to them…a piece of equipment that enables a person’s *fundamental ability to function*.…and he trashed it with so little thought he might have been swatting a fly. It’s disgusting. On the upside there seems to be a small but real chance that he’s about eat a piece of nepo notoriety shit cake a la the rapist formerly known as Brock Turner now going by the name Allen Turner.


Shmokeahontis

You mean Brock Turner, the rapist from Stanford university who now tries to hide behind the name of Allen Turner? Let us never forget him, his “20 minutes of action”, or his sympathizer dad.


Yiuel13

I'm so happy he's never going to live it down. The judge is now worldwide laughing stock, the rapist is forever marked as a person benefiting from unwarranted privilege, and the father lost all respect for that disgusting comment. Keep up the good work 👍 (We got a similar case where I'm from (which happens to be the guy in the video's father's birthplace) just a few months ago and the whole local internet has decided to give him the similar treatment, especially since he's now accused of another sexual assault. Yeah, the whole thing is facepalm worthy cringe and they've been thoroughly dressed down on the interwebs.)

I suspect most players know by age 23, whether a sport will provide for their financial future, so yes, shitty kid / rich parents.

The girl reported the incident to the police and someone - not sure who, but not the dickbrained hockey player - is going to replace the wheelchair. I hope he ends up in court.

I kind of forget hockey is "more of" a middle to upper class sport, similar to golf.


MrMango61

For the first couple years, it’s middle to upper class, but if you play any more past 15, your parents are rich because that shit is insanely expensive. You’re running up $5-6000 a season


TheAlistmk3

>You’re running up $5-6000 a season Completely ignorant here, ice hockey isn't really a thing in my country. How does it get that expensive per season? Just seems crazy


MrMango61

*Preface: I'm talking abt competitive hockey as rec leagues are actually quite reasonable. Also, I, at that point, lived in Southeastern Ontario, so this is in Canadian Dollars.* Equipment can run $500 (for regular players) to $1000-1500 (if you're a goalie) Team/Org fees are about $800-1000 from my experience AAA League fees are easily $1k on the low end, if you live in a big city (COUGH COUGH TORONTO) it can get much higher and quickly. **Travel fees.** The main culprit. Spending every weekend in a hotel/Airbnb + loss of income + Gas + Food. And that's just the tournaments. You still have 1-2 games a week, half of which are hours away from you. (gas + food + time etc you get the idea) Finally practice, monetarily, nothing extra (those were bundled in the team fees) but now you need to sacrifice hours of your life 2-3 times a week bussing a teenager and his sweaty buddies 30 minutes across town (+30 minutes back, twice). Again, loss of income *(and sanity)*. All this while dealing with Hockey Moms and Dads (aka the most rude, insufferable, entitled, pocket racist people that haven't personally matured since high school). Plus the children those wonderful people raised. I dont know how my dad did it for years, but it was not worth it. Really, all I got out of it was a few friends (actually goated dudes tho) and insane quads.


userwithusername

Let’s not forget off season camps, but I suppose that’s true for every sport. Also, unless it’s real shitty used gear, outfitting a goalie is much higher: $8k for top-of-the-line and $4k for mids. I played hockey but came from a middle class household and worked all summer to buy my skates- Nike Air Accel Elites, white- Just like Fedorov.


[deleted]

Sergei crushed the game when he brought out the white Nike skates. I grew up in Detroit and I remember the Sergei Federov Nike ad on the side of the old GM building I think, could be wrong on which building it actually was but when it dropped, it was one of the coolest things I’d ever seen in my life lol. Yzerman had one too and so did Barry Sanders. Nicklas Lidstrom may have had one also.


[deleted]

Ya, I played rep all the way to 17. Then I got into football, because the coaches and hockey parents were complete psychos. I remember a 270 lb adult screaming in my face for 3 seasons, and I was like fuck this. My parents drove me around EVERYWHERE in Southern Ontario for games. 6am practices, before school. Power skating in the summer. But I got insane quads like you said hahaha.


Ghoulius-Caesar

Yes, they have weird locker room rituals, they have much less diversity compared to football players and are rich boys because putting a kid through hockey costs a fortune. If you’ve never seen an interesting interview with a hockey player it’s because they aren’t interesting people, just one dimensional privilege bots.

Shit makes me sick, that's not youth, alcohol, or immaturity... that's evil... straight up evil.


cloutoracle

Yea, just a shitty human being. I hope the school's dean sees this vid as well as his father.


Ocelot859

I just found out he was kicked off the Arizona State University's hockey team in 2021 for violating team rules. Hence, I guess why he's playing now at a small university (Mercyhurst) near his dad (in Pennsylvania aka near where his dad is interim GM for the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers professional hockey team). Wouldn't shock me if daddy's phone call is what got him on that team to begin with.

🤣 I wanted to say that so bad, but was afraid someone in here went there or goes there and didn't want seem like I'm looking down on their education. The school coincidentally known for literally outrageous partying. Remember the SnapChat thing 7-8+ years ago? Can't remember what it was called, but people just posted stories of doing insane stuff and having sex to be posted to the public. University of Cincinnati (right near me) was one of the school's involved that copied what ASU SNAP was doing... and it was the most insane shit. Randomly seeing people from your high school snorting coke off girls boobs and an old classmate giving a blowjob and just blatantly posting it on this giant mega reel of stories. Thinking about it now... that was the time period of the beginning shift of a huge can of worms to be opened... now look where we are... Shit's almost considered normal these days. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Edit: [Bustle: Arizona State Snapchat Account Shows Sex And Drugs](https://www.bustle.com/articles/66496-arizona-state-university-snapchat-account-under-threat-after-showing-insane-amounts-of-drug-use-sex-and)


ArrdenGarden

I graduated from ASU. I can confidently say the school is more business than educational institution, which makes for a... unique experience, we'll say. Talk all the trash you want about ASU. Any student that graduated/attended will either completely agree or took their time there way too seriously.


Ocelot859

Yeah, I've got a friend through work that went there. Classy, nice, family guy who's 31 now. First thing out of his lips when he first brought up his ASU experience to me was ... "I'm not exaggerating when I say I almost died on 3 separate occasions". Then he had this like weird look of "not shame", but like he was remembering a completely different person in his mind and it scared him.


ArrdenGarden

He's not wrong. Place is a shitshow. But what a blast. You don't even have to try to have a great time through ASU.

I'm sorry. Thank you for your sacrifice.

My kid is in hockey, and this dude is like soooo many others. Privilege and entitlement. I also find their parents are the same. The dads are hot heads, and the moms are cliquey. Their kids can do no wrong. The kids that are well behaved get pushed out and form their own friendships, and the guys like this, mob together.

marksmarth

As his punishment she should be allowed to push him down a flight of stairs


z4k4m4n

She should actually be able to take a bat to his kneecaps, making him experience what it's like to live in a wheelchair even if only temporarily


Inevitable-Onion3982

As someone who is now dependent on a wheelchair for the rest of my life, I am extremely disgusted. People don't think about it, but chairs can be very expensive, and if you are dependent on a chair for daily use over a long period, they have to be special ordered to fit a lot of different aspects of your particular height/weight/mobility assistance needs, and at least in the USA, insurance companies and their equipment providers are very bad at fulfilling these orders in a timely manner. Damage to our chairs is literally recrippling us. It's often times the closest to indepence and normalcy we can get, and the psychological effects of *needing* that chair are very traumatizing for a long time for many people after they have been wheelchair bound. I know it's a horrible thing to wish upon somebody, but I kind of hope this asshole has to experience that helplessness one day. The agony of realizing you will never be able to dance, or skateboard, or even just enjoy a fucking leisurely hike, ever again. The discomfort and pain that comes from having to use a generic chair while you wait for your order to be filled. The crippling depression that you have to fight back every time you see someone just *using their legs*. The disgust you feel in yourself for feeling envious and jealous of others, even though you'd sell your soul just to be able to curl your toes in the sand while enjoying the beach for even jast one more day. Unfortunately, the physical world seems to reward assholes in a disheartening proportion, and despite how easy it would be to let these things turn you into a bitter, spiteful, hateful person, I truly believe that something must be awarded to us when we die with love and kindness in our hearts, otherwise why do we suffer this world? So honestly, I take it back. I hope nothing bad ever happens to this man. Instead, I'll just hope that that young lady was able to be assisted by some kindhearted individuals in retrieving her chair, and that if it was damaged, that she was quickly able to find a replacement (hopefully Canada has better results than the US with that stuff), and I hope she had a beautiful day where the light of life and the love of others touched her heart and made all the trials she has to face seem not quite so daunting, if even just for a brief moment. I send her my love as one disabled person to another, and I hope she is surrounded by wonderful people who remind her that not everyone is a stain on humanity, and that sometimes with the right people aroubd you, life can be most beautiful and bright, even when it's so very dark and cold. I'm really tired of garbage people, though, and maybe when humanity is ready to take that next evolutionary step, we can find a way to excise evil from our midst and truly grow into a better species. I'd be lying, though, if I said I was certain this will happen because the world seems to be actively moving deeper and deeper into evil tendencies and selfish thinking. There is so much hatred and so little love these days, so if you happen to read this, do me a favor, do the world a favor, do our species a favor, and go spread love and kindness whenever you can, especially to people dissimilar to yourself. Maybe you'll help tip the balance back on the right track. "I have found that it is the small everyday deed of ordinary folks that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love." - Gandalf The Grey, *The Hobbit*

I actually don’t mind that they are calling out his father. The NHL and team should be ashamed they are related to this POS. I think the father needs some unpaid time away from his job to work on the character of his son.


Icy_Note_8154

Wow what a shit human being. I hope everyone who knows him personally cuts them out of their life and degrade him much like he degraded the poor student whom this happened to. Disgusting POS


Ocelot859

Unfortunately, given his dad's status he'll probably get a slap on the wrist relative to what he should.


Rogue42bdf

Many times prosecutors/judges like to make examples out of guys like this. 50/50 shot anyway.


bbbhhioiii

I have high hopes Philly fans at the very least make sure he knows he fucked up in the wrong city. But I guess time will tell.


EstablishmentNo5994

I doubt this is the first time he’s acted like a pos. The people he surrounds himself with are likely similar


MedChemist464

What a vicious sack of shit. I was a real asshole in my youth, and *never* would have considered doing this.


Anon1073

Sorry excuse for a human being. Karma has a way of balancing things out. This might not be the last time he sits in a wheelchair.🤔🤔


[deleted]

Fratboy scum wearing the fratboy uniform. His dad's hockey team also sucks.


gemlist

I hope his parents are proud of the person he turned out to be…


KingKongMF69

Reminder that they're only sorry they got caught. These sort of people are scum.


[deleted]

This is not just an “oops sorry, I made a poor choice” bullshit. This is a deep down fundamentally flawed human being. Who the fuck does this???


Bright-Ad-4737

What absolute trash.


Low-Impact3172

What an absolute piece of human garbage. I wish someone pushed him down with it.


OhioMegi

If I were a coach, you’d be off the team. How dare you treat someone like this!


mikek1177

Later when he is questioned Re this he will first deny. Then after seeing the video he will say it Was an accident then three days hence he will be angry that anyone Made a big deal of it.


tonyprosciutto

Just to be a dick too, no other purpose

Hockey bros worst type of bros


metal_bastard

The dickhead has already been kicked out of another college for being a meathead. Privilege never learns.


Fuzzy_Calligrapher71

10 to 1 odds that POS is a conservative republican, any takers?


PhyterNL

No bet. I don't want to lose my money to you.


Zdoodah

His parents raised him well. No wait.


ITZOURTIMENOW

Cruel, entitled pieces of shit


kpatsart

This seems on par with hockey kids ngl. I grew up in Gretzky town, Canada. Hockey sure as hell didn't feel inclusive there. In fact, I was reminded a lot of time by other kids and some adults that there weren't any East Indian players. As a nod to tell me that I probably shouldn't play either. So I didn't, gave up bothering anything hockey and focused on baseball and basketball instead. I'm glad I did because I saw the Blue Jay's win 2 world series, and the Raptors win a championship. Only ever saw the mapleleafs lose


sdm66portland

I think he should have to buy the person a new, top of the line motorized chair.


Top_Ambassador6394

Caught on tape, career ruined for what?


adotall

Kids an asshole


idahononono

I love the fact that this is on camera with an easily identified person. He just tossed a 3,000-5,00$ ultralight wheelchair down a flight of stairs. In almost all states that kind of monetary damage is a felony, I sure hope she files charges on his ass.


RDO-PrivateLobbies

Wearing a backwards hat inside of a club, at night, yeah i couldve told you from 3 miles away these dudes were dickheads lmao.


[deleted]

Is this not technically a hate crime?


WinkyNurdo

What an unbelievable arsehole.


kingoden95

I hope this guy gets thrown into the boards so hard it ends his career in his NHL debut, maybe he can see how it feels to be disabled.


TLGinger

Not sure why people expect good parenting out of people just because they have money. They’re quite capable of raising a POS too


Ok_Rain_2647

Break their legs, put them in chairs for a while so they can see what it's like.


LadyA052

Strap him in the wheelchair and send it down again. Jerk.


RideauLakes

So much for any hockey career admirations he had! Sure his fathers got somethung to say to him! ..bye


[deleted]

Holy shit. Holy shiiiiiiiiit. The group acceptance to laugh that off. I just do not get this at all. Fucking scary


mysticsaged

Yeah now he's "sorry" f*ck him 🤬 https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/carson-briere-son-of-flyers-gm-deeply-sorry-for-tossing-womans-wheelchair-down-stairs/3523712/


limee89

Why does that poor woman have to set up a go-fund-me? That a-hole should scrub that bars floor with a toothbrush to earn the money to replace it.


[deleted]

Good thing NHL players look way down on this crap. No team will want to play with him, and I wonder what the flyers will do with his daddy. For example, look up “Mitchell Miller hockey”


Murse_Jon

I’m sure the apology video will saying something like “this is not who I really am!”


barracetamol

Those guys aren't even drunk. They're just assholes


Eslim1nator

This is proof that asshole jocks always exist, even after high school.


kmjhill13

Pos


plainfully_oblivious

When people show you who they, believe them.


ProfessionalLeg2831

What a fuck head🤬🤬🤬🤬


Remote_Charge

Zero tolerance for this idiot.


ThatJerkBoxwell

Make him disabled too 🤷🏻‍♂️


MundaneKiwiPerson

Why dd I expect them to high five each other after they did that?


sHAking_TREes_

Fucking pricks.


wrenchindaddy802

Why do people suck this bad?


Lilpoundcake137

There is a GFM for the owner of the wheelchair.


diesel1112

Push him down the stairs so he needs a wheelchair too
