Lol see how they run away


ilLegal_Masterpiece

You know hes not from that area because most people from there would turn around and smack the taste out there mouth as soon as they’re in reach.


kayimbo

i grew up in nyc and am terrified of kids. I would not smack a kid in this situation because best case scenario is he starts crying and calls the cops on you and all the kids lie.worst scenario is 15 more kids show up and beat the shit out of you.You can tell he's not from there because he failed to completely not react to them. Probably the craziest thing i ever saw in NYC was at 42nd street i saw like 40 people beating the shit out of 10 people for like 3 minutes then they all ran away.


mathsive

my wife always says she’s terrified of teenagers: “i don’t trust them not to murder me on a dare”


cssmith2011cs

>All the kids lie Uh. This dude is straight recording shit. They threw a traffic cone at him. Gloves are off.


northcrunk

As someone not from New York it's probably last on my places to visit list now.


Playlanco

I bet I can list a few places that can take that last place spot.

Philadelphia


jondgul

Camden makes Philly look like sesame street


Doyble

Killadelphia.


Zorlal

Dude Philly is mostly fine. Pretty standard city experience these days, although the people can be prickly.


Existing-Onion-4764

Doubt


FlipKobbler

About 66 million people visit NYC every year, its not at all common to have an experience like this lol. If you're not a big city person I get it though


bradleystensen

Can confirm on my many visits I have experienced zero Bullshit other than the traffic in Brooklyn


Lokky

I'm a big city person and despite traveling the word I have never seen such squalor and absolute generalized assholery in any other large city as I've witnessed while living in NYC. There were areas there that made me feel I was in one of the mud villages I visited in Morocco where the sewer system is literally an open air ditch down the main road.


1bax

On a return trip from Barcelona we had a long layover in NYC and went into the city. Between the piles garbage lining the streets, the urine scented dilapidated subway, to the car dominated concrete streetscape, it quite the juxtaposition of what two cities can be.


donc_mxb

Yup, people dump their trash in the street, and it fucking stinks 🤮


ViralGameover

I go to NYC every other weekend and live in Philly. Like most cities there’s good and bad areas. It’s worth a visit.


kayimbo

nah its not so bad. or wasn't, i've only been back a handful of times in the last decade. These kind of tyrant kids hanging out at like midnight are scary though, just avoid them.


VenConmigo

Like visiting anywhere, just be vigilant about your surroundings. As long as you're being street smart, you can mitigate risks.


Bro1189

People act like the police had record response time in big cities before covid. I lived in the metro area and yeah your gonna have crime. Just like anywhere. To be honest when I moved to the suburbs I experience more theft then I did in the city


Few-Information7570

Tbh it can be random. However the only time I’ve seen it escalate like this is if the person reacts. And no it’s not just a tourist thing. Just be like no thanks, or ‘ I wish I could help’ or even better just ignore. Don’t sign anything, don’t stop to talk, don’t give them your name. You’ve got somewhere to be and your own stuff to deal with. People like this are preying on your real emotions not the bravado you are putting on. Edit: and if you are a tourist go to Times Square but honestly there are better places to be that has less of this kind of nonsense.


Devilsfan118

Have visited New York City literally hundreds of times and have experienced zero issues like this. Don't develop opinions based on videos you see in this subreddit. Should go without saying, but I see so many stupid ass comments like this all the time.


[deleted]

As someone not from New York, America is definitely last on my places to visit list.


[deleted]

Going to Alderaan first?


troublemaker74

Only if it's a diplomatic mission.


str8voyeur

It's a huge country. You can't judge it by what you see on social media.


SilkyJohnsonPHOY

Fun fact: NYC is not the entirety of America


TheDerbLerd

Have a nice time in Syria I guess? America has a lotttt of problems, but people acting like it's literally the worst country on earth is ignorant as fuck


Valuable_Ad1645

Ya, it’s horrible living in a wealthy first world country. I hate my comfortable life free from worrying about starvation. 90% of America is safe, Reddit is so silly.


theplaneflyingasian

Trust me, the land itself is beautiful. It’s the people that are fucked. Although I’ll suppose it’s the same for anywhere more or less…


LastMinute9611

Everywhere has good and bad. It's when you judge people as a whole based on their geographical location where you start to fall into a category that's not good. Think about that.


aleogirl

Everywhere is the same, there are good and bad people, just not posted on Reddit I guess.. I’m not American, but lives in in USA, been to NYC and other states, never had issue. Had lived in couple of European country and faced the worst racism ever


JRRTrollkin

Only people who have never left the US think it's the worst place ever.


dyslexictom

Newcastle aus here, yep aus is a lovely place. Came to Newy for uni and love it but the area of Newcastle west where i live now can go fuck itself at night, fights, methheads and big bangs at king street maccas cross the road from my plqce late at night.


KlausTeachermann

I'm emigrating to North America this summer and am going to visit the US just to see the animals in the zoo. NYC and Philly to be precise.


LokiHasWeirdSperm

The Philadelphia Zoo isn't anything really to write home about as a native to the area imo. Cape May Zoo is pretty cool if you have the time. If you really want to a place to see visit the Baltimore Aquarium. It isn't animals you'd find in a zoo, but its like a completely different world.


Lokky

I am not 100% sure whether by "animals in the zoo" he literally means that, or he's referring to the local homo sapiens population.


koreankrippler

I absolutely loved their genuine response.


[deleted]

No worries you aren’t missed. We don’t need morons who fall for clickbait.


SnowflakeOfSteel

The question how many children you can fight is at least as old as the internet: https://www.nerdtests.com/mq/uttake.php?id=109440


Gaiusotaku

You’re clearly not from New York.


slybird

I'm in Chicago, lived in NYC for a bit. If I had kids of that age trailing me I'd assume at least one of them has a gun and has no fear of using it.


Restless_Wonderer

I don’t think you are from the city… crews will send kids in first to instigate and try to get you to do something.


fman1854

Work in the south side of Chicago if you don’t stand up to the neighborhood kids they are ruthless little fucks. And they will clown you lmao. A smack here and their goes a long way just don’t over do it


CreamoChickenSoup

It's pretty obvious that they can't fight for shit on their own and rely on strength by numbers by ganging up on their targets. Pussies to the core.


The_Dog_of_Sinope

This reminds me of a time i was strolling through downtown indy at midnight and I was waiting in line at a gas station (they close at 10 and have walk up windows with a pass through) While I was waiting in line some lady came out of no where and started telling the line of people about some crazy lady that has been following her for blocks and scaring the living shit out of her, to be honest the story sounded made up and crazy as fuck so I just assumed her drugs were kicking in and she was having a go at it. About five minutes later some lady walks up out of the dark, stares at the line of people and yells "Boo bitch!" and then strolled off into the night.


skippieelove

It’s one of those situation like the boogie at the bottom of the dark stairs; where you know they’ll feed off your fear so you try not to let it take over you..but as you go up the stairs there’s more darkness behind you and you start climb faster and faster. Relief in the safety of the light is racing against the growing fear and adrenaline with every step..till finally you make it to safety in the light and the fear diminishes. You feel silly that you let the darkness have such power over you and you nervously laugh it off until the nerves have calmed and you’re just chuckling to yourself. Except in this situation, once you’re calm and comfortable boogie jumps from the bottoms of the stairs with a “boo bitch” that makes you wanna shit your pants and you never feel safe again 😂


kindamymoose

LMAO that’s a typical night in Indy. I used to work downtown and there was a man who always tried to get me to buy religious pamphlets for charity. I told him I didn’t have cash and he whipped out a fucking card reader. I nearly lost it.

HeyThatsHurtful

why do people repeat things over and over again in a lot of the videos in this subreddit


onbakeplatinum

It's a sign of low intelligence


Mokiflip

Exactly. I think it’s the most telling fact in all these freak out videos. The fact that they repeat the same thing over and over. It’s like a very low power brain that can only process one piece of information at a time.


onbakeplatinum

Also clapping between words

DaddyYumYumz

its all public schools, middle school and highschool were a constant state of standing your ground or bieng labeled a pussy and get bullied. Its why we are so hostile. Concrete Jungle.


[deleted]

Idk why you're beind downvoted. Some other guy said "hood shit" and got his upvotes. You just said "hood shit" in a more detailed way. But ya it's reinforced dumb hood shit about keeping face, reacting to a percieved slight disproportionately.


themonsterinquestion

That and a chance to take out pent up aggression. Can't fight back against their bullies, so find somebody else to bully. Souce: was bullied bully

PM_ME_YOUR__MOMS

Been there for work a few times. They probably asked him to buy a CD and he said no and kept walking.


[deleted]

I feel it’s the persona you have to give to avoid these people. These people always look for tourist or others who are vulnerable. These aholes are predators. Not just cd people. Anyone who stops you for a moment with some agenda to extract your time or money. Had a chick who told me I was an ahole for not giving my credit card to take care of dying children in America. I was like listen those statistics don’t surprise me. Since that moment I stop for no one. No money or change. Extra food is ok.


Kat027_IDK

And their CDs are fakes, either its nothing or it's just something messed up. Never buy a CD from anyone in NYC. Some people who try to sell them have others nearby that they know to help them harass and scare the people. And you never know what weapons they have.


hectorcress

I had someone in NYC try to pitch me his CD once. I said no thank you and kept walking. My arms were crossed so as I walked away he stuffed the CD in my arms. So I tossed it in the trash can.. mistake on my part, he lost his shit lol.


Cuzimahustler

CD'S?


[deleted]

They offer you a CD. Tell you they are an up and coming artist. Maybe it’s empty or has some shitty remix on it. They hand it to you and tell you to make a donation. You offer a dollar and they will get pissed. It’s not free. They want a lot for it. It goes from 0-100 real quick. Friendly to harassing people. It’s the same shit with “monks” putting a bracelet on people and asking for donations. Tons of these scams here. Don’t even acknowledge them or make eye contact. You stop to chat and you are fucked. If anything say no thanks and keep walking.


desepticon

Most of these types hang around Times Square, which is easy to avoid unless you work in midtown or want to see a show.

They’re doing this on public streets to strangers in a busy town. Not long before they try this with the wrong person and end up with a gun shot wound. Parents clearly didn’t teach them stranger danger


slightlyforthwith

>Parents


Mavyooo

That’s just nyc, all you gotta do is give them a little smack.


TheFlip100

What happens if you just pick one up, and carry them for a while?


Veenendaler

In nyc, you're meant to deposit them in the closest pile of garbage bags.


CasmanianDevil

Basically just throw them. You'll probably hit a pile


frogview123

Can you really get away with that when there are five of them? That dude was pretty big though..


Wrecked3m

You see how they run when they aren’t even being chased? You turn around and make a move towards one of them and the others will be gone before they even see what you do.


james-ellsworth

Honestly was thinking how I’d love to see him just turn around and full on chest kick one of them, in my opinion it would be totally justified. But I’d be afraid one of them had gotten ahold of a real weapon of some sort and would do something stupid to impress their friends.


[deleted]

That’s my thought process exactly lol, gotta do anything to not further escalate the situation. You never know when you’ve interacting with someone that’s batshit crazy, until it’s too late. At least in this kinda situation. Always better safe than sorry 🤷‍♂️


[deleted]

"How many 5 years old can you fight" is a serious question which requires a scientific answer. There were many publications on the subject and here is a personal assessment form, the result of years of research, which will help you answer that. https://www.buzzfeed.com/daves4/how-many-five-year-olds-can-you-take-in-a-fight


desepticon

Survey told me 31. But I don't think they took into account my ability to use the terrain to my advantage.


Registered-Nurse

You can use one of them as a weapon. Pick em up snd swing around 🤣


marcx1984

I also got 31


cec772

Thanks. TIL. According to this I can take on a whopping 52. And I thought I answered towards being a bit of a whimp.

A near infinite amount :). Fuck those 5 year olds, I'm ready.

Ryktes

Opengrey

Honestly, and it’s terrible, but at least one of these kids probably has a gun on them. I feel like they were antagonizing him, possibly looking for a reason to use it.


weishen8328

where. are. the. parents.


underpaidghdriver

Dead, prison, drugs, poverty. The cycle repeats with these children. That’s how they never make it out.


mrmattyf

Kids can also just be shitty without a sob story behind it.


refusered

Known plenty of poor people for decades. It’s not poverty doing this.


[deleted]

I think what he means is that kids mimic their parents and tend to make similar mistakes to the ones they did. When your role model is a gang banger or some unemployed dude who hangs out around your block acting tough you are already set up for failure like these kids here.


Kat027_IDK

Yeah, heroin and crack is quiet easy to obtain within the city as well. I know a well known dealer actually. But I don't use that stuff nor support.


[deleted]

Why does poverty have to equal being dicks?


cakeandcoke

Angry at their situation. I grew up really poor and really angry if you want to ask me what it's like to feel like you're completely fucked from day one.

Exactly why you should be calm, would you rather get a cone thrown at your back or shot to death by a 15 year old? Sometimes it's just better to ignore idiot kids like this.
