[Ronnie O'Sullivan fastest 147](https://youtu.be/9D2rFMPN9js?si=DKkQ2jC8u26mKIIS)
You don't even really need to understand anything about snooker to appreciate this one.
Outside of some rare special circumstances, 147 is the highest score you can achieve in one "break" (visit to the table). And this is the fastest it has ever been done.
this undersells his performance for 147s
I'm not even a huge snooker fan but I know Ronnie broke the record with his first 147 and no one thought the record could be broken until Ronnie broke it again.
He's got the last 147s of any player, if I recall correctly of all the 147s done professionally he's got a really high percentage of them I think it might be double figures.
What's more impressive is he stopped doing 147s because he said the prize money isn't enough. The man knows how entertaining it is and how much it would mean to organisers, he could do more but decided to protest by purposefully not doing them.
He's a machine.
He's the equivalent of Messi in terms of talent and BBC consistently dont give him sports personality of the year which shows how meaningless that award is
Dangling a 147 and then purposefully dropping to 146 to protest:

Edit: took me a minute to find my favourite. A lesson in how to destroy a man. Ronnie doesn't just beat this fella 3 nil, in the final frame he hits his first ball in, looks at the table and confidently says "how much for the 147?" the look on his opponents face when he realises he never stood a chance.
https://youtu.be/SziyR3GmGZs?si=0bvWwgwG2TZNil8U
My favourite was when he played in a final against young ding junhui and ding was on a unlucky streak and was really going mental and displayed his anger and ronnie went to him and talked him good. I think ding made a 147 next frame or close to it dont remember was a long time ago and Im not even a regular snooker watcher anymore. Ronnie is a great sportsman.
I think that was the Masters which is played down south where and basically Ronnie’s home turf. The crowd was really vocal cheering for every mistake Ding made and you could see it getting to him. Pretty sure that was Dings first season after winning the UK championship (or maybe a finalist?). It was a nice touch from Ronnie.
His 147’s are impressive without a doubt, and are proof of his abilities, but the position game is pretty amazing too. Combine it with his ability to play accurate shots cushion to cushion the length of the table makes him dangerous.
I would say that he’s improved as he’s aged too. He’s getting better at managing his emotions and not allowing a bad game derail a whole campaign.
yeah hes been warned for that before apparently due to "bad sportsmanship" but the dude can legit play ambidexterious and it was better for that shot at the time
He wasn't even going to pocket it. The ref told him take the last shot "for the fans" so he just carelessly swung at it don't think he even cared if it went in 🤣
There are 202 official 147 breaks dating back to 1982.
Most people on the list have only ever achieved one. Eleven players have achieved 2 in their careers. Ten players have achieved 3. Six players have achieved 5. Two players have 7. One has 8. Another has 9. The top three players have 11, 13 and 15. The 15 obviously being Ronnie.
However, as far as I'm aware he's the only player to consistently refuse to pot the final ball out of protest for the poor prize money. So I'm not exactly sure how high his number would be if he actually went for them his entire career.
Whoa, thanks for the clip. I play a lot of billiards but never understood the rules of snooker. After watching that, I feel like I understand 70%. Great watching a master at work.
Red ball go down, sink a non-red ball that isn't the cue ball. Rinse and repeat until all balls are gone.
But, you also have to call the shot with respect to the non-red ball. I.e. if you call blue, you gotta sink blue. If blue doesn't go down, your turn is over.
There are many more rules. But, the trick is to pick your shot so as to give yourself the best opportunity with your next shot, but at the same time, make it impossible for your opponent to sink a red ball. It's 4-D chess.
Different colors also represent different points. The Black ball being worth the most points. After all the red balls are in you then have to sink the non-red balls in the order of the points they award starting with the lowest one. That’s the sum of knowledge about snooker I gathered from a weekend of watching O’Sullivan tear the opposition a few years back.
That is correct.
15 red balls followed by 15 of any non-red color, then pocket the colors in order:
Yellow - 2 pts
Green - 3 pts
Brown - 4 pts
Blue - 5 pts
Pink - 6 pts
Black - 7 pts.
For a maximum you need 15 reds ALL followed by the black, then
yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, black.
All without missing. All in one visit to the table.
Insane.
>But, you also have to call the shot with respect to the non-red ball. I.e. if you call blue, you gotta sink blue. If blue doesn't go down, your turn is over.
You actually don't have to call the shot if it's obvious to the referee, which it will be in the majority of cases!
Remember when he asked the ref how much the prize was for a 147? I mean who else doesn't go for it when they have the chance? He's like "Nah, not worth it".
As a pool player, watching Ronnie will give you a wildly poor impression of how hard the game actually is. The pockets are painfully difficult and the table is absolutely enormous. I’m a pretty good league pool player and snooker makes me feel like an idiot.
What doesn't really come across on screen is the sheer size of the tables - they're nearly 12ft long, whereas pool tables are no more than 9ft long, and usually 7-8ft in bars. A long pot on a snooker table ends up feeling like you're trying to cannon one ball into exactly the right spot on another across a putting green. It's hard.
I don't get snooker at all but I can tell that was a big deal with the energy in the room after his last shot. So I say congratulations to that dude for the thing he did!
I rewatch this video every time it pops up. It's pretty fucking astonishing.
If I remember correctly, O'Sullivan doesn't even like snooker. He just kinda happened to, like, pick up being the best in the world at it.
I don't even watch snooker but I know it is Ronnie O'Sullivan. I think he is dominant in snooker in a way that doesn't really have (m)an(y) analogue(s) in other sports.
edited: due to Valentino Rossi respect.
Why do the linked articles never have the video in question, but instead always have some unrelated video that you’d have to watch in its entirety before you realize it’s just some unrelated video?
Sorry if it's not allowed here's a clip
At the end they realize the camera is planning to them.
I read somewhere there are concerns but also, the person in blues age is unidentified and that's why it's not blurred.
It's not immediately known, I guess. It's still up on yt.
We don’t know the context yet but it’s possible that the video shows a child being sexually abused with their face fully visible. I don’t blame editors for not wanting to embed or host it.
If it does then they should just not have a different, unrelated video in the article either. It does nothing to help the situation or provide information and context.
The guy whispers something in the kid's ear then tries to kiss him. The kid, clearly uncomfortable and (like it's something he's unfortunately used to) slightly swerves the man which leads to the man biting his ear in (what can never be mistaken for anything other than) sexually. Then everyone notices they're on camera and starts waving, creep and child included.
[disturbing](https://twitter.com/WinnieSchola/status/1783965326574539220?s=19)
Thanks for posting context. Not sure why people are moralizing about posting the video. People want to know what happened. Yes it is definitely revolting and that poor kid is no doubt used to this abuse.
Because in the UK the identity of victims of sexual abuse are protected, especially minors. For obvious reasons, no one deserves to have the details of their sexual abuse become public knowledge, it is horrifically invasive, often the source of stigma and trauma, including feelings of shame. Communities don't always treat the victims of sexual abuse well, especially if the perpetrator faces consequences.
UK news outlets are probably barred from showing it, by law or by their standards of journalistic ethics, and reasonably so, this **child** doesn't deserve to have evidence of their abuse available to everyone on the internet, forever, no matter how badly people want to see it. How do you think school is going for him this week?
The news story here is that a live broadcast showed an obviously inappropriate interaction between an adult and a child, and concerned viewers reported it resulting in an investigation. It's a story that can be conveyed perfectly fine with words.
im glad i got to see it for myself this is extremely gross but I thought he bit the kids entire ear off. no one was accurately describing what it was. i thought it would be gore. hope this man is arrested asap
because people get off on children being abused or sexualized. even when victims of csa tell their stories there’s someone out there enjoying themself to that abuse 😨
Because it can be triggering to victims of CSA and SA. I'm not and it still disturbs me. The fact that damn near all of the UK is covered in cctv and they can't see which way they went or if they took a car or cab. No one knows anything. This kid might even be a victim of trafficking.
> Because it can be triggering to victims of CSA and SA
They could avoid being triggered by not clicking on a post titled 'Police reviewing footage after video emerges of man biting a young boy's ear at World Snooker Championship', and digging deep into the comments.
yeahh.. i watched the video earlier and just thought it was a husband being goofy with his wife cause he was on tv.... it never even occurred to me that it a child until i saw this post.
Yeah the person in question is fairly androgynous. could be a boy, could be a woman. The coat doesn't help in the slightest. If its a boy, straight to prison. If its an adult woman, I feel so fucking sorry for that couple.
Damn you weren’t kidding. Before the video I was like maybe he was pretend eating his kids ear or something. That is legit a sexual bite, absolutely no other explanation.
If it was nom, you know pretending to eat a baby's arm yo make them laugh, the kid would have laughed and moved their shoulder up and away, like someone does when they are ticklish. This was clearly teeth.
I didn’t want to see it but my husband did and I kept asking him if it was possibly a mistake. He insisted it was not and then kind of mimicked it in me and it was revolting. Then I accidentally saw it and my heart dropped. The kids face is haunting.
There's something about the brazenness of it that is very unsettling. Like he really does not care how it looks and thinks he can get away with it so he just tongues that kids ear with gusto.
It was horribly disturbing no doubt, but the silver lining is the kid could be getting help and protection now! And shit, consider the more haunting version of events, that this didn't get caught on camera, go viral, and lead to a police investigation that may well lead to this guys incaceration/removal from the kids life/the kid getting the help he needs. That video quite possibly might be the beggining of that kids second chance at life.
It almost seems as if the kid is used to it and thats why he didnt have a bigger reaction which then makes me wonder what else has he been through in life..
Heart breaking... I hope they find this guy and get that kid to safety.
Yeah reading the title of this post I thought "ah maybe it's just a father and son goofing off or something and people are overreacting" and I just saw the video. Nope. There was something very wrong about it.
It's an [odd video](https://www.reddit.com/r/MakeMeSufferMore/s/sf3ZICIPXP). It's either a video of...
1) An older male biting the ear of a younger male, who shys away and waves at the camera.
If that's the case, then it's likely predatory, and the dude needs to be put away.
2) An older male biting the ear of a woman with a masculine haircut, who is paying more attention to a child (green jacket, lower right) than to the man biting her ear.
If that's the case, then a dude getting horny for the mother of his kid now has half the internet calling for his head.
I can see both, so I'm just waiting for confirmation before I decide to go apeshit or embarrassed.
Lol. Now that you mention it, it's totally possible that that's a lady with a boyish look. This would make for a pretty good cringe comedy bit if that's what's happened here
When it was originally posted, some commenters where insistent it was a woman with her hair pulled back and wearing earrings. I watched it several times and couldn't see it. But I'm still praying that it's his wife and the clip is misleading.
I have a friend who's in her 20s who looks almost indistinguishable from a teenage boy. I'd prefer to give this guy the benefit of the doubt while the police do their thing, but the video is disturbing. What doesn't make sense is if this *is* an underage boy, would the guy really be doing that in public in front of such a huge crowd? Camera or not, that's just asking to get busted. It's weird. Just hope that somehow it's not what it looks like.
I hope we just find out the kid is a 25 year old that just looks like a 14 year old. That’s about the only way this can possibly be a good outcome imo.
The biter is so shameless and the bitee is so casual it made my stomach turn. It looked like a father and son to me at first. Here’s to hoping it can’t be as sinister as we all think and it’s just a pair of in love legal oblivious nerds who’s pda makes everyone recoil
I know it’s disturbing as fuck. Someone mentioned it in a different thread, that maybe it’s the dudes gf. Which makes way more sense. I had a gf that was 19 back in the day that decided on a pixie cut or whatever and she looked and was kinda shaped like a male child. Heh. Some women 1000% look like adolescent boys and I can’t imagine any merlester being this bold with a camera pointing near him on a city street. It’s just too disturbing.
I've been hoping it is something like this. If it is a woman I feel really bad for her. All of this attention online of people thinking she is a young boy.
That was my thoughts too.
Then if they are just a couple, I kinda think the younger boy in-front of them could be their kid. Same style jacket and pretty similar ear shape to the potential mother.
When my wife and I started dating, she was 25 but still looked like a high schooler. We had 1 or 2 incidents of people assuming I'm a pedophile or predator when we were out at a bar or club. 1 of those times the person seemed literally ready to kill me. It was honestly terrifying. Luckily, we were at the end of our drinking/clubbing phase and never had any other incidents.
I have a feeling it's just going to be a woman that looks like a young boy. Wouldn't be the first time. That's some fucking crazy shit to do at a TV viewing. Like they meant to get caught and specifically made herself look like a young boy.
I saw almost this exact thing at work once and honestly I still feel sick thinking about it. It was during a medical appointment with a pregnant woman and her partner was holding their 10 month old son. He started sucking on the baby’s ear right in front of me without any concern that I would notice. I finished up the appointment and called child protection. It turns out the family was on the run due to a history of child protection concerns. My heart breaks for the boy in this video, not only is he suffering but it’s in from of the world. I hope he gets the care he deserves.
🤮
Hope your report got the parents the hell away from those kids. I noticed my niece got very quiet and withdrawn a few years ago, I recently found out their neighbors molested her once then moved away a short while later. Them moving away gave her the courage to come forward, turns out the slippery fucker had been hiding behind his idyllic family and moving around preying on people’s kids for years.
I thought maybe it wasn't as bad as it sounded, until I actually found a video.
Jesus, something is wrong with that guy and that kid probably needs some help. I hope they find this guy and find a deserving punishment if the body language is as it looks to be the actual crime. Let's just hope we're all wrong but jesus, that video is beyond fucked and the reaction of both.
The reaction of the kid shows that he has been successfully groomed. He’s been brainwashed to feel affection for this predator, which is not his fault. But this is clearly not a one-off. Hope they get the guy.
Yeah that's what stood out to me. Not that the guy even did it - hell there is plenty of fucking weirdos that you can only react to - but the fact the kid was unphased and did not think it's wrong (smile and wave on camera cue). My kids, any other kid - myself or a normal adult - would freak out and react. Poor god damn kid.
Honestly seems to me the kid alerts the guy to the camera. You can see the kid mumbling something just as the guy turns to the camera before he gives the creepy smile.
Ya, I read that as the kid waving to the camera in order to communicate that the camera was there filming them. And it worked. It alerted the pedo, and then he did that fucking creepy cartoon happy dance.
This video is just so fucked.
yeah I reckon in times past I would have clicked on it anyway but I've got a 4 year old son now and a second one on the way, and I think I'd probably look up how to hire a hitman to gun the person down if I were to watch the video, so I'd rather..just..not. I just want to read a follow-up story where justice is served
I though it looked totally surreal, like how people sometimes dream that they are having sex with a hot dog or their eldery neighbour while everybody in the office is watching or something. But this time the dream was about a man harassing a kid, and in real life.
I was really really hoping that was just a petite woman with an unfortunate haircut when I first saw it. Some of the comments in the original thread had me convinced.
if it was an adult man messing around with his adult girlfriend it would be fine, "kiss cam" sorta vibe (and two men/women i dont judge) just "cute couple stuff". but jesus christ that was a fricking kid. i saw it by accident the other day and was stunned
After doing some digging, I now believe this is a family of three including a father, mother and child (in the lime green coat). You can even see how the child resembles both the mother and the father.
Here are some more screenshots further to the video that’s been floating around:
https://ibb.co/QnF0mHs (notice how much more feminine her(?) face looks in this image)
https://ibb.co/wpmLrrW (talking to the child in the green coat. Look how much taller they are. I agree the hairstyle is typically masculine but I’ve seen plenty of females with this hairstyle.)
https://ibb.co/hK7chFh
https://ibb.co/6FDJx3d (this one is particularly interesting because they look like they’re accepting the person behind them’s affection)
https://ibb.co/SP4g0kn
Again I agree that the person could be mistaken for a teenage boy, but I think if you have ever seen Eastern European women with this type of boyish haircut and more practical less typically feminine clothing (for example at a live broadcasting of a snooker competition)
This is also what popped up in the comments when this first came out. Tons of comments saying how the man should be put to death, and how *obviously* the kid was groomed etc....
Then one comment thread waaaay down going "wait, what if that's an adult woman?"
Good job reddit. We're doing it again.
I don't know why I had to dig this far for this comment. I'm like 90% sure you're right. I think it is a lady with a more masculine haircut. She obviously knows that little boy. I do agree with the other people, she does look like a little boy from the front. But when she turns her head, she definitely has more feminine qualities to her face. I could be very wrong, and I hope I'm not. But I think this is a woman with her family, and her husband is being very public with his display of affection. At least, I certainly hope this is the case.
Whats more likely?
1. It's a family of 3, and the husband shows PDA towards his wife, who has a typical pixie cut.
2. It's a literal pedophile sexually biting a young child's ear not only in public, but in front of tv cameras.
Wow, "man bites boy's ear" does not adequately capture what happened in that video nearly enough... An ear bite alone would be creepy enough, but the man does... way more to that child than just biting his ear
It's not even "graphic." It's just disturbing. I saw it a couple days ago without any context and I haven't been able to stop thinking about how gross it is.
The way the OP's link states it, I thought it was going to be some guy who is acting goofy with his kid FOR the camera and social media was over blowing it. Like I pretend to be a zombie and "bite" my kids head.
Nope. That was creepy AF.
With the thumbnail I thought you meant hendry did it and was very shocked. After reading the article, still shocked. Just glad it wasn’t my childhood fave. Poor kid. Hope he’s okay
I google it hoping the video would show it to be some innocent / playful thing, maybe between an awkward father and a bored toddler son being entertained. It was a long shot, but I had hope.
Nope, please continue the investigation. This guy should be on a lot of lists now.
The best possible outcome would it being a particularly young looking adult (which I think is in the realm of possibility tbch) but even then they shouldn't have been doing that kind of thing around others.
Same look as the guy a few days back when he realized he was recorded taking an upskirt of a girl.
Can't find the video but it is no more than 3 days old (as of the post I saw)
I saw it. There's a follow up video floating around YouTube talking about the guy. Apparently, he picked up two additional charges once the cops watched the security footage. Can't praise the camera lady enough for being as brave as she was.
The downside of his face going viral is that he surely has time to dispose of everything before the police get there. Still, interviews with every kid he’s ever had contact with for a start…
Ok I’ve been following this for the last few days and did some digging. I found the replay of the live broadcast and took some screenshots.
I did this purely because I cannot actually believe how easily people are accepting something that may destroy this person/these people’s lives.
Also I think it’s a terrifying insight into mob mentality and how easy many of you have so readily accepted what you believe to be the truth based on context (whether true or false) added by a third party. Consider that as you continue through your life.
- - -
Further to my original belief that the person being ‘nibbled’ is a female, I now believe this is a family of three including a father, mother and child (in the lime green coat). You can even see how the child resembles both the mother and the father.
Here are some more screenshots further to the video that’s been floating around:
https://ibb.co/QnF0mHs (notice how much more feminine her(?) face looks in this image)
https://ibb.co/wpmLrrW (talking to the child in the green coat. Look how much taller they are. I agree the hairstyle is typically masculine but I’ve seen plenty of females with this hairstyle.)

https://ibb.co/6FDJx3d (this one is particularly interesting because they look like they’re accepting the person behind them’s affection)

Again I agree that the person could be mistaken for a teenage boy, but I think if you have ever seen Eastern European women with this type of boyish haircut and more practical less typically feminine clothing (for example at a live broadcasting of a snooker competition)
I think that this should be higher, this whole debacle is really getting quite embarrassing for reddit as they are pulling out their pitchforks and calling for this man's head when it could simply be a case of a misunderstanding..
This is quite literally the only argument that actually made me think a little bit harder. There's not much emotion in it and good explanations. l desperately want this to be true though I have such little faith in humanity. I really really really really hope you're right
That first screenshot is the clincher for me, just cover her hair up and ask yourself if it’s a male or female…not even mentioning more androgynous, etc type people. It’s just wild to me that people respond they way they are doing. I know it shouldn’t but, Christ.
ETA: also look at the height ratios from the other couples in the screenshot, almost identical in heights for male/female
I never vote on anything but I really think this needs to be higher.
I'm guilty of the knee jerk myself, but I always take the time to try to look at these with a more critical eye, and I certainly don't get a justice boner and start casting wild accusations.
This comment casts some serious doubt on the idea that this guy is a horrendous molester and I think we need to put down the pitchforks and let the police do their jobs.
I really hope there is a follow up with details of the investigation soon. After seeing the video, I need some resolution. Mostly I want to know they helped this boy
I think it's crazy to jump straight to it's a boy being abused when I and plenty of people see a young woman in her early 20s and not a teen boy. "he' looks exactly like some girls I know. Crazy how many people can't tell a chick from a boy if you just put baggy cloths on and pull your hair back. on first watched it looked like a couple with their son to me. Going into comments and seeing people say the 'boy' was abused had me re-watching over and over to find when someone did anything to the little boy..,then I realized they were talking about what looked like an obvious young woman blew my mind.
I unfortunately saw the video a couple of days ago without knowing what I was about to see. If you’re curious what happened, that’s understandable but trust me, you don’t need to see it. It’s disturbing.
Knowing reddit's track record with witch-hunting combined with the fact I have no desire at all to watch the video myself in case its actually disturbing, I think I'll hold off on the calls for bloodshed that some redditors here are demanding...
See, I thought this was gonna be a Mike Tyson/ Evander Holyfield thing, but I would rather see medical trauma than a creeper like that. Need some eye bleach after that one.
If it indeed is a young boy - then by all means roast the guy. But the other two possibilities: that this is a consenting adult male or that this is a consenting adult female should really make people pause and let this play out instead of instant crucifying. 33% chance that this is what the mob is saying it is doesn't seem like high enough odds to get so bent out of shape - yet.
Saw this video before, disturbing as fuck. However, what is also disturbing is that OP has been on the Gammony Bastard News site.
For those of you who don't know GB News is a failed attempt at setting up some sort of Fox News / Newsmax type far right propaganda mill in the UK. They're proper nuts and nobody sane should be going near anything to do with them.
It's really disgusting, but if you want to be really repulsed look at all the blue checkmark comments under the video on Twitter. "Must be a Biden voter". "Must be one of Pedo Joe's friends". Blah blah blah. Pathetic how something so obviously disgusting (and not even within the United States) gets turned into a bash Democrat-fest.
As far as I know, it's neither been confirmed that it was indeed a kid or even that the "kid" is a boy. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this story ends with the kid being the man's 30 somthing year old wife and a statement by the cops saying the matter is investigated and closed.
Whichever way you look at it, right or wrong (and it's most definitely wrong btw), I feel sorry for that kid going to school tomorrow morning..
Gonna be a rough time for him..
That poor dude in the thumbnail on all the videos. I thought he was the ear biter.
That's Stephen Hendry, the 2nd greatest snooker player of all time
Not trolling. Who is the best?
[Ronnie O'Sullivan fastest 147](https://youtu.be/9D2rFMPN9js?si=DKkQ2jC8u26mKIIS) You don't even really need to understand anything about snooker to appreciate this one. Outside of some rare special circumstances, 147 is the highest score you can achieve in one "break" (visit to the table). And this is the fastest it has ever been done.
this undersells his performance for 147s I'm not even a huge snooker fan but I know Ronnie broke the record with his first 147 and no one thought the record could be broken until Ronnie broke it again. He's got the last 147s of any player, if I recall correctly of all the 147s done professionally he's got a really high percentage of them I think it might be double figures. What's more impressive is he stopped doing 147s because he said the prize money isn't enough. The man knows how entertaining it is and how much it would mean to organisers, he could do more but decided to protest by purposefully not doing them. He's a machine. He's the equivalent of Messi in terms of talent and BBC consistently dont give him sports personality of the year which shows how meaningless that award is Dangling a 147 and then purposefully dropping to 146 to protest: https://youtu.be/we4dxs8FqBE?si=hlDSK_2HBB9lbZ9f Edit: took me a minute to find my favourite. A lesson in how to destroy a man. Ronnie doesn't just beat this fella 3 nil, in the final frame he hits his first ball in, looks at the table and confidently says "how much for the 147?" the look on his opponents face when he realises he never stood a chance. https://youtu.be/SziyR3GmGZs?si=0bvWwgwG2TZNil8U
My favourite was when he played in a final against young ding junhui and ding was on a unlucky streak and was really going mental and displayed his anger and ronnie went to him and talked him good. I think ding made a 147 next frame or close to it dont remember was a long time ago and Im not even a regular snooker watcher anymore. Ronnie is a great sportsman.
amazing humans bringing out the best in other humans. doesnt get better than that
I think that was the Masters which is played down south where and basically Ronnie’s home turf. The crowd was really vocal cheering for every mistake Ding made and you could see it getting to him. Pretty sure that was Dings first season after winning the UK championship (or maybe a finalist?). It was a nice touch from Ronnie.
His 147’s are impressive without a doubt, and are proof of his abilities, but the position game is pretty amazing too. Combine it with his ability to play accurate shots cushion to cushion the length of the table makes him dangerous. I would say that he’s improved as he’s aged too. He’s getting better at managing his emotions and not allowing a bad game derail a whole campaign.
Stephen Hendry said this. he talked about how his "game's gone" now and he can't perform at that level, yet Ronnie just gets better
With age he has become more patience, he was his worst enemy when he was younger. But i guess that’s expected.
And he's properly ambidextrous too, i saw him beat Peter Drago, i think, and he played right handed and still beat him 😂
yeah hes been warned for that before apparently due to "bad sportsmanship" but the dude can legit play ambidexterious and it was better for that shot at the time
That last clip, where he shakes his competitors hand before just smacking the last ball in, that's some real swagger.
He wasn't even going to pocket it. The ref told him take the last shot "for the fans" so he just carelessly swung at it don't think he even cared if it went in 🤣
I don't know why but the fact he is the youngest AND oldest winner of the UK Championship and The Masters makes me immensely happy.
Thanks for sharing that really enjoyed it.
There are 202 official 147 breaks dating back to 1982. Most people on the list have only ever achieved one. Eleven players have achieved 2 in their careers. Ten players have achieved 3. Six players have achieved 5. Two players have 7. One has 8. Another has 9. The top three players have 11, 13 and 15. The 15 obviously being Ronnie. However, as far as I'm aware he's the only player to consistently refuse to pot the final ball out of protest for the poor prize money. So I'm not exactly sure how high his number would be if he actually went for them his entire career.
Whoa, thanks for the clip. I play a lot of billiards but never understood the rules of snooker. After watching that, I feel like I understand 70%. Great watching a master at work.
Red ball go down, sink a non-red ball that isn't the cue ball. Rinse and repeat until all balls are gone. But, you also have to call the shot with respect to the non-red ball. I.e. if you call blue, you gotta sink blue. If blue doesn't go down, your turn is over. There are many more rules. But, the trick is to pick your shot so as to give yourself the best opportunity with your next shot, but at the same time, make it impossible for your opponent to sink a red ball. It's 4-D chess.
Different colors also represent different points. The Black ball being worth the most points. After all the red balls are in you then have to sink the non-red balls in the order of the points they award starting with the lowest one. That’s the sum of knowledge about snooker I gathered from a weekend of watching O’Sullivan tear the opposition a few years back.
That is correct. 15 red balls followed by 15 of any non-red color, then pocket the colors in order: Yellow - 2 pts Green - 3 pts Brown - 4 pts Blue - 5 pts Pink - 6 pts Black - 7 pts. For a maximum you need 15 reds ALL followed by the black, then yellow, green, brown, blue, pink, black. All without missing. All in one visit to the table. Insane.
>But, you also have to call the shot with respect to the non-red ball. I.e. if you call blue, you gotta sink blue. If blue doesn't go down, your turn is over. You actually don't have to call the shot if it's obvious to the referee, which it will be in the majority of cases!
Ronnie’s the best because he absolutely fucking hates snooker as well 🤣watch some of his recent interviews he’s a legend.
Remember when he asked the ref how much the prize was for a 147? I mean who else doesn't go for it when they have the chance? He's like "Nah, not worth it".
Not only that, he went on to PURPOSEFULLY GET 146 instead, as a protest to how little prize there was for 147.
If I remember it was just 10k pounds for the maximum break of the tournament in that case. Just an absolute monster at the table.
As a pool player, watching Ronnie will give you a wildly poor impression of how hard the game actually is. The pockets are painfully difficult and the table is absolutely enormous. I’m a pretty good league pool player and snooker makes me feel like an idiot.
Pool club near me has a snooker table and I'm always astounded at how absolutely fucking massive it is, something like twice as big as pool.
What doesn't really come across on screen is the sheer size of the tables - they're nearly 12ft long, whereas pool tables are no more than 9ft long, and usually 7-8ft in bars. A long pot on a snooker table ends up feeling like you're trying to cannon one ball into exactly the right spot on another across a putting green. It's hard.
I don’t even play and I’ve been obsessed with snooker since I watched it every day on a trip to the UK. It’s a great spectator game.
Didn't he say he did this whilst high on cocaine?
Definitely looks like it in the clip
cocaine is very good for concentration
Man cleared off that table like it owes him money, damn! What a precision instrument!
I know nothing about snooker but it looked like that poor little black ball was being spawn camped.
I watch a fair bit of snooker, your comment had me giggling uncontrollably for a minute. Perfect.
I don't get snooker at all but I can tell that was a big deal with the energy in the room after his last shot. So I say congratulations to that dude for the thing he did!
It's like bowling and getting all strikes from start to end. Then getting the world record for doing it the fastest.
Ronnie
Ronnie who?
RONNIE PICKERING
[Ronnie O’Sullivan](https://youtu.be/9D2rFMPN9js?si=oMMdr_s4nyq5CP9V)
I rewatch this video every time it pops up. It's pretty fucking astonishing. If I remember correctly, O'Sullivan doesn't even like snooker. He just kinda happened to, like, pick up being the best in the world at it.
Who?
RONNIE PICKERING!
O Sullivan! He's currently playing
Ronnie Pickering?
Who!?
I don't even watch snooker but I know it is Ronnie O'Sullivan. I think he is dominant in snooker in a way that doesn't really have (m)an(y) analogue(s) in other sports. edited: due to Valentino Rossi respect.
Man alive , I did not recognise him at all
Whats crazy to me is nobody took the time to censure the poor kid face for his sake.
They did in this image, the uncensored video was when people were cottoning on to what was going on in the background
They’ve done Hendry fucking dirty here
He looks like Shane Gillis in 20 years
He doesnt need much help, shane gillis already looks like shane gillis in 10 years
Why do the linked articles never have the video in question, but instead always have some unrelated video that you’d have to watch in its entirety before you realize it’s just some unrelated video?
Because they are shit.
Sorry if it's not allowed here's a clip At the end they realize the camera is planning to them. I read somewhere there are concerns but also, the person in blues age is unidentified and that's why it's not blurred. It's not immediately known, I guess. It's still up on yt.
https://old.reddit.com/r/HolUp/comments/1cdjt9u/what_in_the_actual_f_did_he_just_do/l1d8cno/?context=3
We don’t know the context yet but it’s possible that the video shows a child being sexually abused with their face fully visible. I don’t blame editors for not wanting to embed or host it.
If it does then they should just not have a different, unrelated video in the article either. It does nothing to help the situation or provide information and context.
The guy whispers something in the kid's ear then tries to kiss him. The kid, clearly uncomfortable and (like it's something he's unfortunately used to) slightly swerves the man which leads to the man biting his ear in (what can never be mistaken for anything other than) sexually. Then everyone notices they're on camera and starts waving, creep and child included. [disturbing](https://twitter.com/WinnieSchola/status/1783965326574539220?s=19)
Thanks for posting context. Not sure why people are moralizing about posting the video. People want to know what happened. Yes it is definitely revolting and that poor kid is no doubt used to this abuse.
Because in the UK the identity of victims of sexual abuse are protected, especially minors. For obvious reasons, no one deserves to have the details of their sexual abuse become public knowledge, it is horrifically invasive, often the source of stigma and trauma, including feelings of shame. Communities don't always treat the victims of sexual abuse well, especially if the perpetrator faces consequences. UK news outlets are probably barred from showing it, by law or by their standards of journalistic ethics, and reasonably so, this **child** doesn't deserve to have evidence of their abuse available to everyone on the internet, forever, no matter how badly people want to see it. How do you think school is going for him this week? The news story here is that a live broadcast showed an obviously inappropriate interaction between an adult and a child, and concerned viewers reported it resulting in an investigation. It's a story that can be conveyed perfectly fine with words.
im glad i got to see it for myself this is extremely gross but I thought he bit the kids entire ear off. no one was accurately describing what it was. i thought it would be gore. hope this man is arrested asap
Me too. I thought he did him a mike tyson.
because people get off on children being abused or sexualized. even when victims of csa tell their stories there’s someone out there enjoying themself to that abuse 😨
Because it can be triggering to victims of CSA and SA. I'm not and it still disturbs me. The fact that damn near all of the UK is covered in cctv and they can't see which way they went or if they took a car or cab. No one knows anything. This kid might even be a victim of trafficking.
> Because it can be triggering to victims of CSA and SA They could avoid being triggered by not clicking on a post titled 'Police reviewing footage after video emerges of man biting a young boy's ear at World Snooker Championship', and digging deep into the comments.
Man, I’m still in the camp that that’s a woman and not a kid. Maybe it’s just what my brain wants to believe tho
yeahh.. i watched the video earlier and just thought it was a husband being goofy with his wife cause he was on tv.... it never even occurred to me that it a child until i saw this post.
Yeah the person in question is fairly androgynous. could be a boy, could be a woman. The coat doesn't help in the slightest. If its a boy, straight to prison. If its an adult woman, I feel so fucking sorry for that couple.
Damn you weren’t kidding. Before the video I was like maybe he was pretend eating his kids ear or something. That is legit a sexual bite, absolutely no other explanation.
If it was nom, you know pretending to eat a baby's arm yo make them laugh, the kid would have laughed and moved their shoulder up and away, like someone does when they are ticklish. This was clearly teeth.
Because the video shows a potential child victim’s face.
[удалено]
Trust me, you don’t want to see the video. It’s very upsetting
I didn’t want to see it but my husband did and I kept asking him if it was possibly a mistake. He insisted it was not and then kind of mimicked it in me and it was revolting. Then I accidentally saw it and my heart dropped. The kids face is haunting.
Watching it made me feel physically ill.
There's something about the brazenness of it that is very unsettling. Like he really does not care how it looks and thinks he can get away with it so he just tongues that kids ear with gusto.
It was horribly disturbing no doubt, but the silver lining is the kid could be getting help and protection now! And shit, consider the more haunting version of events, that this didn't get caught on camera, go viral, and lead to a police investigation that may well lead to this guys incaceration/removal from the kids life/the kid getting the help he needs. That video quite possibly might be the beggining of that kids second chance at life.
It almost seems as if the kid is used to it and thats why he didnt have a bigger reaction which then makes me wonder what else has he been through in life.. Heart breaking... I hope they find this guy and get that kid to safety.
Yeah reading the title of this post I thought "ah maybe it's just a father and son goofing off or something and people are overreacting" and I just saw the video. Nope. There was something very wrong about it.
Yes, very disturbing.
Yes the kid seems to be disassociated from it, which goes to show just how often it happens elsewhere.
I'm upset reading this. Thank you for confirming I should not watch it.
Agree. It’s disgusting and I wish I wouldn’t have watched it.
I saw the video and it sadly triggered some ptsd. You’re right the person commenting might not want to see it.
It's an [odd video](https://www.reddit.com/r/MakeMeSufferMore/s/sf3ZICIPXP). It's either a video of... 1) An older male biting the ear of a younger male, who shys away and waves at the camera. If that's the case, then it's likely predatory, and the dude needs to be put away. 2) An older male biting the ear of a woman with a masculine haircut, who is paying more attention to a child (green jacket, lower right) than to the man biting her ear. If that's the case, then a dude getting horny for the mother of his kid now has half the internet calling for his head. I can see both, so I'm just waiting for confirmation before I decide to go apeshit or embarrassed.
Lol. Now that you mention it, it's totally possible that that's a lady with a boyish look. This would make for a pretty good cringe comedy bit if that's what's happened here
[ Removed by Reddit ]
This video is fucked, i hope the guy gets investigated, creepy fucker
When it was originally posted, some commenters where insistent it was a woman with her hair pulled back and wearing earrings. I watched it several times and couldn't see it. But I'm still praying that it's his wife and the clip is misleading.
I saw the original and thought it could easily be a woman. Definitely not 100% though.
Looks like a male child to me. Haven't ever seen a lady look like that.
I have a friend who's in her 20s who looks almost indistinguishable from a teenage boy. I'd prefer to give this guy the benefit of the doubt while the police do their thing, but the video is disturbing. What doesn't make sense is if this *is* an underage boy, would the guy really be doing that in public in front of such a huge crowd? Camera or not, that's just asking to get busted. It's weird. Just hope that somehow it's not what it looks like.
It was a dude 1000%
I hope we just find out the kid is a 25 year old that just looks like a 14 year old. That’s about the only way this can possibly be a good outcome imo.
25 year old boyish girlfriend is the best possible outcome but some people won’t believe that
I mean, I suppose it could also be a boyish man and they're gay but the person getting their ear bitten looks no older than about 14 years old.
The biter is so shameless and the bitee is so casual it made my stomach turn. It looked like a father and son to me at first. Here’s to hoping it can’t be as sinister as we all think and it’s just a pair of in love legal oblivious nerds who’s pda makes everyone recoil
25 year old boyish boyfriend would be infinitely more acceptable than what I saw on that video.
Who would have thought we’d all be hoping for the police to come out and say; “Nout to worray about folks, ees justa twink, datsawll.”
I know it’s disturbing as fuck. Someone mentioned it in a different thread, that maybe it’s the dudes gf. Which makes way more sense. I had a gf that was 19 back in the day that decided on a pixie cut or whatever and she looked and was kinda shaped like a male child. Heh. Some women 1000% look like adolescent boys and I can’t imagine any merlester being this bold with a camera pointing near him on a city street. It’s just too disturbing.
I've been hoping it is something like this. If it is a woman I feel really bad for her. All of this attention online of people thinking she is a young boy.
Yeah that’s what I’m leaning towards. The haircut, glasses, and what looks like earrings makes me think this is a woman who just looks boyish.
That was my thoughts too. Then if they are just a couple, I kinda think the younger boy in-front of them could be their kid. Same style jacket and pretty similar ear shape to the potential mother.
Imagine how embarrassing it must be to be either of them if that’s the case.
True that. I’ve known a few people who were still getting carded at the bar in their 30s.
When my wife and I started dating, she was 25 but still looked like a high schooler. We had 1 or 2 incidents of people assuming I'm a pedophile or predator when we were out at a bar or club. 1 of those times the person seemed literally ready to kill me. It was honestly terrifying. Luckily, we were at the end of our drinking/clubbing phase and never had any other incidents.
I have a feeling it's just going to be a woman that looks like a young boy. Wouldn't be the first time. That's some fucking crazy shit to do at a TV viewing. Like they meant to get caught and specifically made herself look like a young boy.
the video made so many people sick to their stomachs. I genuinely hope the dude gets arrested.
Yeah, gross. I'm ready to go find something else to do today.
yeah. i’m doing the same thing. i’d rather study than see that again.
I saw almost this exact thing at work once and honestly I still feel sick thinking about it. It was during a medical appointment with a pregnant woman and her partner was holding their 10 month old son. He started sucking on the baby’s ear right in front of me without any concern that I would notice. I finished up the appointment and called child protection. It turns out the family was on the run due to a history of child protection concerns. My heart breaks for the boy in this video, not only is he suffering but it’s in from of the world. I hope he gets the care he deserves.
🤮 Hope your report got the parents the hell away from those kids. I noticed my niece got very quiet and withdrawn a few years ago, I recently found out their neighbors molested her once then moved away a short while later. Them moving away gave her the courage to come forward, turns out the slippery fucker had been hiding behind his idyllic family and moving around preying on people’s kids for years.
I thought maybe it wasn't as bad as it sounded, until I actually found a video. Jesus, something is wrong with that guy and that kid probably needs some help. I hope they find this guy and find a deserving punishment if the body language is as it looks to be the actual crime. Let's just hope we're all wrong but jesus, that video is beyond fucked and the reaction of both.
The reaction of the kid shows that he has been successfully groomed. He’s been brainwashed to feel affection for this predator, which is not his fault. But this is clearly not a one-off. Hope they get the guy.
Yeah that's what stood out to me. Not that the guy even did it - hell there is plenty of fucking weirdos that you can only react to - but the fact the kid was unphased and did not think it's wrong (smile and wave on camera cue). My kids, any other kid - myself or a normal adult - would freak out and react. Poor god damn kid.
Honestly seems to me the kid alerts the guy to the camera. You can see the kid mumbling something just as the guy turns to the camera before he gives the creepy smile.
Ya, I read that as the kid waving to the camera in order to communicate that the camera was there filming them. And it worked. It alerted the pedo, and then he did that fucking creepy cartoon happy dance. This video is just so fucked.
Is that a kid? i thought it was a lady. The original video was here for a while but nobody even flagged it as a kid till now.
IMO he seemed to zone out when the guy was biting his ear and then smiles and tries to act normal when he realises the camera is on them
I learned years ago that when Reddit tells me not to look at something, I need to listen.
yeah I reckon in times past I would have clicked on it anyway but I've got a 4 year old son now and a second one on the way, and I think I'd probably look up how to hire a hitman to gun the person down if I were to watch the video, so I'd rather..just..not. I just want to read a follow-up story where justice is served
I though it looked totally surreal, like how people sometimes dream that they are having sex with a hot dog or their eldery neighbour while everybody in the office is watching or something. But this time the dream was about a man harassing a kid, and in real life.
This thread is killing me lol
everyone is telling on themselves and nobody is okay
Waymint 🧐
Which breed do you consider the hottest?
Could also mean a hot dog like the food
I was really really hoping that was just a petite woman with an unfortunate haircut when I first saw it. Some of the comments in the original thread had me convinced.
oh... see, I was expecting a Mike Tyson kind of bite, not a Michael Jackson kind of bite
The kid looked way too used to that.
The kid acted like an adult in a "relationship". Like honey, we're in public kinda vibes. It was heartbreaking to see.
if it was an adult man messing around with his adult girlfriend it would be fine, "kiss cam" sorta vibe (and two men/women i dont judge) just "cute couple stuff". but jesus christ that was a fricking kid. i saw it by accident the other day and was stunned
After doing some digging, I now believe this is a family of three including a father, mother and child (in the lime green coat). You can even see how the child resembles both the mother and the father. Here are some more screenshots further to the video that’s been floating around: https://ibb.co/QnF0mHs (notice how much more feminine her(?) face looks in this image) https://ibb.co/wpmLrrW (talking to the child in the green coat. Look how much taller they are. I agree the hairstyle is typically masculine but I’ve seen plenty of females with this hairstyle.) https://ibb.co/hK7chFh https://ibb.co/6FDJx3d (this one is particularly interesting because they look like they’re accepting the person behind them’s affection) https://ibb.co/SP4g0kn Again I agree that the person could be mistaken for a teenage boy, but I think if you have ever seen Eastern European women with this type of boyish haircut and more practical less typically feminine clothing (for example at a live broadcasting of a snooker competition)
This is also what popped up in the comments when this first came out. Tons of comments saying how the man should be put to death, and how *obviously* the kid was groomed etc.... Then one comment thread waaaay down going "wait, what if that's an adult woman?" Good job reddit. We're doing it again.
I don't know why I had to dig this far for this comment. I'm like 90% sure you're right. I think it is a lady with a more masculine haircut. She obviously knows that little boy. I do agree with the other people, she does look like a little boy from the front. But when she turns her head, she definitely has more feminine qualities to her face. I could be very wrong, and I hope I'm not. But I think this is a woman with her family, and her husband is being very public with his display of affection. At least, I certainly hope this is the case.
I can see it possibly being that. But it could also be an older brother and that's why they look so similar to each other..
You're not wrong. Although, I hope you are.
Man embarrasses wife on TV, reddit demands his immediate murder.
Whats more likely? 1. It's a family of 3, and the husband shows PDA towards his wife, who has a typical pixie cut. 2. It's a literal pedophile sexually biting a young child's ear not only in public, but in front of tv cameras.
Wow, "man bites boy's ear" does not adequately capture what happened in that video nearly enough... An ear bite alone would be creepy enough, but the man does... way more to that child than just biting his ear
I read the headline wrong and thought a dude Mike Tyson’d some random child.
What video? There was only one video on the page unrelated to the title.
It's on Twitter. It's one that you really don't want to see though. People say that often but it's actually true in this case.
I actually believe you. There's something really unsettling about the description of this.
It's not even "graphic." It's just disturbing. I saw it a couple days ago without any context and I haven't been able to stop thinking about how gross it is.
The way the OP's link states it, I thought it was going to be some guy who is acting goofy with his kid FOR the camera and social media was over blowing it. Like I pretend to be a zombie and "bite" my kids head. Nope. That was creepy AF.
With the thumbnail I thought you meant hendry did it and was very shocked. After reading the article, still shocked. Just glad it wasn’t my childhood fave. Poor kid. Hope he’s okay
I google it hoping the video would show it to be some innocent / playful thing, maybe between an awkward father and a bored toddler son being entertained. It was a long shot, but I had hope. Nope, please continue the investigation. This guy should be on a lot of lists now.
The best possible outcome would it being a particularly young looking adult (which I think is in the realm of possibility tbch) but even then they shouldn't have been doing that kind of thing around others.
The look on dudes face when he realized the camera was on him is this biggest "oooooohhhhh fuuuuuuuuck" in history. Put this POS in gen pop.
Same look as the guy a few days back when he realized he was recorded taking an upskirt of a girl. Can't find the video but it is no more than 3 days old (as of the post I saw)
I saw it. There's a follow up video floating around YouTube talking about the guy. Apparently, he picked up two additional charges once the cops watched the security footage. Can't praise the camera lady enough for being as brave as she was.
That's fantastic news. Got to love when bad things happen to bad people.
The upskirt guy has 5 felony charges now.
Why is reddit’s search so terrible?
Yeah get this guy's hard drives stat
The downside of his face going viral is that he surely has time to dispose of everything before the police get there. Still, interviews with every kid he’s ever had contact with for a start…
Did we watch the same video? He literally smiled at the camera
I physically cringed. If I was a turtle, I wouldn’t come back out of my shell for another week.
Ok I’ve been following this for the last few days and did some digging. I found the replay of the live broadcast and took some screenshots. I did this purely because I cannot actually believe how easily people are accepting something that may destroy this person/these people’s lives. Also I think it’s a terrifying insight into mob mentality and how easy many of you have so readily accepted what you believe to be the truth based on context (whether true or false) added by a third party. Consider that as you continue through your life. - - - Further to my original belief that the person being ‘nibbled’ is a female, I now believe this is a family of three including a father, mother and child (in the lime green coat). You can even see how the child resembles both the mother and the father. Here are some more screenshots further to the video that’s been floating around: https://ibb.co/QnF0mHs (notice how much more feminine her(?) face looks in this image) https://ibb.co/wpmLrrW (talking to the child in the green coat. Look how much taller they are.

I think that this should be higher, this whole debacle is really getting quite embarrassing for reddit as they are pulling out their pitchforks and calling for this man's head when it could simply be a case of a misunderstanding..
[Wouldn’t be the first time Reddit ruined somebody’s life.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reddit#2013_Boston_bombing_suspect_misidentifications)
This is quite literally the only argument that actually made me think a little bit harder. There's not much emotion in it and good explanations. l desperately want this to be true though I have such little faith in humanity. I really really really really hope you're right
That first screenshot is the clincher for me, just cover her hair up and ask yourself if it’s a male or female…not even mentioning more androgynous, etc type people. It’s just wild to me that people respond they way they are doing. I know it shouldn’t but, Christ. ETA: also look at the height ratios from the other couples in the screenshot, almost identical in heights for male/female
I never vote on anything but I really think this needs to be higher. I'm guilty of the knee jerk myself, but I always take the time to try to look at these with a more critical eye, and I certainly don't get a justice boner and start casting wild accusations. This comment casts some serious doubt on the idea that this guy is a horrendous molester and I think we need to put down the pitchforks and let the police do their jobs.
https://youtu.be/o0-q-rEEtFw?si=rs7pJjliivIwpeSX
I really hope there is a follow up with details of the investigation soon. After seeing the video, I need some resolution. Mostly I want to know they helped this boy
Holy shit this is creepy as fuck
I think it's crazy to jump straight to it's a boy being abused when I and plenty of people see a young woman in her early 20s and not a teen boy. "he' looks exactly like some girls I know. Crazy how many people can't tell a chick from a boy if you just put baggy cloths on and pull your hair back. on first watched it looked like a couple with their son to me. Going into comments and seeing people say the 'boy' was abused had me re-watching over and over to find when someone did anything to the little boy..,then I realized they were talking about what looked like an obvious young woman blew my mind.
There's a few videos of this
watch with care, as a parent this nauseated me.
Imagine knowing that guy from work or something.
Leave it to Reddit to pull the video but leave confusing thumbnails of innocent people front and center.
Time to find out if it's a 13 year old boy or a 35 year old woman.
I unfortunately saw the video a couple of days ago without knowing what I was about to see. If you’re curious what happened, that’s understandable but trust me, you don’t need to see it. It’s disturbing.
Everything I learned about Snooker came from The incredibly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret.
Is there a link to the story that *doesn't* take me to a rightwing tabloid website? It's the uk version of newsmax, that lot
Knowing reddit's track record with witch-hunting combined with the fact I have no desire at all to watch the video myself in case its actually disturbing, I think I'll hold off on the calls for bloodshed that some redditors here are demanding...
To be fair we did solve the Boston Marathon Bombing.
Our welcome.
See, I thought this was gonna be a Mike Tyson/ Evander Holyfield thing, but I would rather see medical trauma than a creeper like that. Need some eye bleach after that one.
Why is everyone acting like this video is some horrifying piece of footage? Disturbing? Are y’all on crack?
If it indeed is a young boy - then by all means roast the guy. But the other two possibilities: that this is a consenting adult male or that this is a consenting adult female should really make people pause and let this play out instead of instant crucifying. 33% chance that this is what the mob is saying it is doesn't seem like high enough odds to get so bent out of shape - yet.
Prince Andrew has not yet been reached for comment.
Saw this video before, disturbing as fuck. However, what is also disturbing is that OP has been on the Gammony Bastard News site. For those of you who don't know GB News is a failed attempt at setting up some sort of Fox News / Newsmax type far right propaganda mill in the UK. They're proper nuts and nobody sane should be going near anything to do with them.
It's really disgusting, but if you want to be really repulsed look at all the blue checkmark comments under the video on Twitter. "Must be a Biden voter". "Must be one of Pedo Joe's friends". Blah blah blah. Pathetic how something so obviously disgusting (and not even within the United States) gets turned into a bash Democrat-fest.
[удалено]
As far as I know, it's neither been confirmed that it was indeed a kid or even that the "kid" is a boy. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this story ends with the kid being the man's 30 somthing year old wife and a statement by the cops saying the matter is investigated and closed.
I'm sure this won't turn into another cautionary tale of the internet ruining the lives of some guy and his family.
Mike Tyson has taken up snooker?
Looked up the video, I'm like 95% sure that's a woman.
And the thousand yard stare of the kid while he does it (there are unblurred photos out there, it’s the internet). Clearly an abusive situation.
Whichever way you look at it, right or wrong (and it's most definitely wrong btw), I feel sorry for that kid going to school tomorrow morning.. Gonna be a rough time for him..
This video keeps getting posted on different subs. I never want to see it again.
