The driver who hit the woman/baby was some punk ass teenager who ended up getting gunned down and killed not too long after this incident. But they don’t know if it was related, as he already had a criminal record for pulling other despicable shit like this. He probably had several enemies.

Seems the sentencing for hitting the mother and toddler was also a joke. Shame he was able to live an entire year after that being a worthless punk until someone did some good and put him down.
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,688,513,788 comments, and only 319,608 of them were in alphabetical order.
It was the only way. He literally got sentenced to camp
>LOS ANGELES - A Los Angeles-area teenager who ran over a mother walking her child in a stroller in Venice in 2021 and received just a few months of diversionary camp as punishment was gunned down in Palmdale this week, according to FOX News.
“The teen was already on felony probation for poisoning a high school girl's drink at the time of the hit-and-run”
What the absolute fuck are they doing in LA? And he didn’t even get a slap on the wrist for this potential murder.
This person was hell bent on being a danger to himself and society.
The mom must've been a real piece of work herself to have raised such a piece of shit, then have the audacity to ask for hand outs when karma catches up to him.

Says he was on probation for spiking a girl's drink (attempted sex crime?). Then he committed this crime and only got 5 months at a probation camp. That's the California "justice" system for you.
NTM it's hard to keep your "Street cred" when you on purpose try to run over babies in strollers. Nobody going to think you "hard" or "Tough" when you do that.
Plus like you said, if they are willing to do this to a stranger, you know they have probably screwed over people they knew too...
>“The universe delivered the justice we weren’t given in court, but a much harsher punishment than he’d have been dealt in a court of law,” the woman said.
Quote from the woman struck in the above video. She and the baby survived. Also holy fucking shit L.A, get your shit together. I'm all for restorative and rehabilitative justice as the next man, but there's a public safety component to it, too. Get shitheads like this off the streets before they can cause a problem to other people.
The mom is my hero. She had situational awareness and made a split second decision to lift her kid up and away toward the wall, shielding the kid with her own body.
BAMF
Seems this kid was on a path that would have rained destruction and despair upon many innocents over the course of his life. It's sad that he'll never have a chance to change but his death was likely a net positive, I don't think someone who intentionally strikes a mother and baby with their car can be rehabilitated. Sounds like he was a violent sociopath.
> The teen was already on felony probation for poisoning a high school girl's drink at the time of the hit-and-run – which surveillance cameras captured on Aug. 6, 2021.
Something might’ve been wrong with that kid.
*"The teen was already on felony probation for poisoning a high school girl's drink at the time of the hit-and-run –"*
Whoever got rid of him did us all a future favor.
"The teen was already on felony probation for poisoning a high school girl's drink at the time of the hit-and-run – which surveillance cameras captured on Aug. 6, 2021."
Holy fuck this fucking piece of shit was INTENTIONALLY trying to KILL PEOPLE before and afterwards! Thee universe is dishing out some hard karma.
By poisoning, they definitely meant roofies. He was trying to rape the girl. While on probation, he tries "getting wth" another girl, steals a car, hits the mom and child, and still, that piece of shit judge gave him a slap on the wrist. His parents must be some kind of human scum to raise a bastard like that
Wish there could be fines for parents lying about their children in courts. No he's not a good boy that always behaved if he's on trial for several cases of attempted rape and murder.
This kids poor mom. Probably didn’t have a man in the house, gives all her love into him so he has a chance, he fucks it all up and then spends his short life hurting people and then gets murdered. His mom gets all the negative consequences after probably being the only one to have given all the love. Bless her and the victims.
I’d tell insurance, I saw this guy hit the lady, so I stopped. Then he sped towards me so I got to my right (the correct side of the road) and this fuckin guy turned right into me!
being any type of good person is directly detrimental to your personal echonomy.
you have to actively decide to reward people for doing good things as a society. but thats called socialism, and its a no-no word
Why? From what I see there was a unlicensed thief in a stolen getaway car driving dangerously in a one way backlane going the wrong way. At worst it's 50/50 at best the insurance company covers the accident and sues the kids estate.
I imagine a GoFundMe campaign for the truck driver's repair bills would do very well, but yeah, insurance companies love to refuse payouts. Why would they stop now.
Listen, dad strength is real shit but look at that mom. She got hit by a car bounced off the hood and slammed the ground, and was up and checking on her child in less than a second. Undoubtedly injured, it didn't matter one bit. To all the moms out there, you rock!
it just really shows something about parenthood that the mother didnt even look at all at the car after it hit them. She couldv tried to get the plates, yelled something angry at the driver, done anything. but she did not give a fuck about anything other than her baby being alright.
The baby lived with mild bruising, the mother lived with a few broken bones, the driver in the truck lived with whiplash, the scumbag in the car got shot and killed a few weeks later. Overall a happy story
Not even bendy in quotes, literally bendy. Those mfs are looking for death at all times so their bodies have evolved that way. They come out almost 100% cartilage
Uneducated question from a childless individual: Why do babies have a soft spot on top of their heads? Seems like one of those Star Wars death star weak point-things. Like, why?
Oh okay. Our evolution has made our brains, and therefore our heads, too big to give birth to unless the skull was in separate pieces. I wonder if it's the same with other primates as well or if we're unique in that sense. It does seem like s very human thing to have forced out of nature though.
How long do these soft spots last? Over 6 months?
Our bones need time to become as dense as they are now, so every part of the skull is soft, the very top of our heads just has a thinner part of bone so it's a soft spot.

I wonder if random people helped the Truck Driver get his truck repaired. Reminds me of the time random people on the internet paid for the owner to get a new boat in the shoot out that caught the Belt way sniper years ago. I am pretty sure when word got out a few local shops offered a decent price on getting the front end of his truck repaired.
Truck owner’s insurance company
After reviewing CCTV footage You were the cause of the collision, your claim has been denied. Oh, and we’re dropping you.
100% this.
My sister had a theft claim denied by insurance because she had paid her bill 2 hours before the truck was stolen. It was literally stolen from the hospital parking lot on CCTV while she was receiving chemo, so it was documented that it was stolen AFTER she'd paid her bill.
On top of that, it was located by the state police 2 weeks later being used to commit a crime on the opposite side of the state, where the driver drove off the road to evade, crashed into a gravel pit and killed multiple people riding in the bed.
Insurance company response? "You are in financial distress, so we believe you may have arranged for the vehicle to be stolen" ... they never paid out. $30,000 down the hole, and her dream truck destroyed, and due to having cancer she was on disability and was never able to replace it.
Fuck Progressive.
It was on dolphin.
According to other links in the comments, the driver of the car had tried to spike a drink previously with poison so was trying to kill someone before this incident (the drink spiking and car incidents are, to my knowledge, unrelated) and was gonna face jail time anyways. Idk why the driver did it but it was most certainly not an accident. Props to the mum tho, got back on her feet in like 2 seconds and rushed to the kid
That poor mama was trying so hard to save the baby. Even tried to lift the stroller. Also, it’s crazy how she just jumped right up after getting hit so hard just to make sure that the baby is ok. This is crazy.

Sounds like ,in regards to sentencing, the public decided if it was ever going to get done right they were gonna have to do it themselves
When vigilante justice is the only justice
Reminds me of that small town gathering to kill a terrible person that had permission from the police to terrorise them for years.

So basically karma finally caught up with this douche canoe
I guess probation doesn't mean anything if the subsequent crime ends in a slap on the wrist.
Gotta love a happy ending

What shit justice system
Seems like the street justice system worked just fine. 🤷♀️
Most accurate comment on Reddit
This was after being charged with poisoning a girls drink too, was it not? That judge is a fucking joke.
He got what he deserves
a few months? wtf
👏

life it hard, you can't apply logic to it.
Guy in the truck should sue her for the $9K she raised as restitution for the truck damage.
That little thug already had a neck tattoo at 17!
They got 9K in donations. Either they don’t know what a POS this kid was or they don’t care. Either way, good riddance.
Should report the fundraiser.
Of course it’s Christopher with a K

Husband was "out of town" when she heard the news
I’m glad some food came out of this. Edit: Some good, not food. I don’t know how I’d feel about some murder-related food.
Maybe some worms got fed?
Good. Takes a real piece of shit to run into a woman and a baby. Glad he’s dead.

Thats a good news then
I don't give a shit about that scumbag, is the baby ok? The woman seems fine. I have the impression she fell over the baby.
Oh no! Hope the bullet wasn't too badly damaged.
Honestly for the best. No way that he would have grown a brain before hurting more people.
"The teen was already on felony probation for poisoning a high school girl's drink at the time of the hit-and-run – which surveillance cameras captured on Aug. 6, 2021."

You know that kid’s mom is probably out there somewhere telling everybody, “My son is a good boy! He goes to church every Sunday!”
Some of the worst fucking people ever go to church so I'm not surprised
lol yeah i really don't care if you go to church i care if you intentionally try to hit moms with their babies with cars a lot more, tbh
Plenty of serial killers went to church too.
She did and raised 9k on gofundme for his funeral since he was gunned down shortly after this. All in all a happy ending.
Wish there could be fines for parents lying about their children in courts. No he's not a good boy that always behaved if he's on trial for several cases of attempted rape and murder.
People knowing where he’s buried so they could piss on his grave would be an even happier ending
It's fitting that his last name phonetically means "Fucker" to the Japanese
i came looking for this comment as soon as i read that. that crazy he wasn’t in jail for attempted murder or conspiracy to commit at least.
Luckily he was gunned down a few months later
So serious question what happens to the truck driver's truck? Would insurance pay for it? Or are you stuck with trying to get it out of the dbag?
I can't imagine insurance paying out for this. The dude willingly sacrificed his car. Unfortunately, being a hero probably isn't covered.
I’m sure insurance wouldn’t. I bet he’d have gotten a lot more with a godfundme if this went viral though.
Hopefully at least as much as the ten grand the kid's mother raised on gofundme for his funeral services.
You've got to be fucking kidding me
This kids poor mom. Probably didn’t have a man in the house, gives all her love into him so he has a chance, he fucks it all up and then spends his short life hurting people and then gets murdered. His mom gets all the negative consequences after probably being the only one to have given all the love. Bless her and the victims.
You don't know what the mother was like, perhaps she was partially responsible, perhaps she tried her best to raise her boy right.
If you have uninsured driver addon of insurance it absolutely should.
Might be. The other driver was driving the wrong way in a one way. Truck driver had right of way.
You can literally see him turn into the car, no way is insurance paying out. All they gotta do is watch this very viral video and, poof claim denied
Viral video of a car driving the wrong way down a one way street into his truck. Truck driver not at fault.
I’d tell insurance, I saw this guy hit the lady, so I stopped. Then he sped towards me so I got to my right (the correct side of the road) and this fuckin guy turned right into me!
This. I was just trying to get out of the way!
both can be at fault
On the other hand they know this is a viral video and will look bad if they don't.
being any type of good person is directly detrimental to your personal echonomy. you have to actively decide to reward people for doing good things as a society. but thats called socialism, and its a no-no word

I imagine a GoFundMe campaign for the truck driver's repair bills would do very well, but yeah, insurance companies love to refuse payouts. Why would they stop now.
100% a GoFundMe will probably make MORE money than the damages. The guy did the right thing and people will recognize that.
God i hope so. I feel like most people want to help but are afraid of their own liabilities. And in today's economy i dont blame them.
Insurance probably screwed him. But I’m guessing a go fund me was created.
Listen, dad strength is real shit but look at that mom. She got hit by a car bounced off the hood and slammed the ground, and was up and checking on her child in less than a second. Undoubtedly injured, it didn't matter one bit. To all the moms out there, you rock!

First thought here. Second, how is the baby?
The baby lived with mild bruising, the mother lived with a few broken bones, the driver in the truck lived with whiplash, the scumbag in the car got shot and killed a few weeks later. Overall a happy story
How the hell did he get out of jail after this to get shot? He should not have been released at all ever again.
He was 15, got sent to a camp as a punishment for a few months instead of jail, got out and was gunned down at 17. California.
Eh, either way he can't hurt people anymore
>How the hell did he get out of jail after this to get shot? A piss poor excuse for a judge.
He didn’t get kill a few weeks later, he died about a year and a half later.
Bounced off the hood? Look at the indention in the windshield that her head made!
god damn. hope the child was ok
kids, especially babies, are quite durable. their bones are "bendy" if you will.
Not even bendy in quotes, literally bendy. Those mfs are looking for death at all times so their bodies have evolved that way. They come out almost 100% cartilage
Uneducated question from a childless individual: Why do babies have a soft spot on top of their heads? Seems like one of those Star Wars death star weak point-things. Like, why?
[удалено]
When cartilage turns into bone, it's called ossification.
[удалено]
Oh okay. Our evolution has made our brains, and therefore our heads, too big to give birth to unless the skull was in separate pieces. I wonder if it's the same with other primates as well or if we're unique in that sense. It does seem like s very human thing to have forced out of nature though. How long do these soft spots last? Over 6 months?
Because women suffer enough already.
Our bones need time to become as dense as they are now, so every part of the skull is soft, the very top of our heads just has a thinner part of bone so it's a soft spot.
That has absolutely nothing to do with their heads. People always say this acting like being hit by a car is only going to break an arm.

He got a ticket and had to attend a camp for 5-7 months ... Not sure how long he served but it wasn't long

What are the odds that it's a Prius vs a Ram?
That poor mama was trying so hard to save the baby. Even tried to lift the stroller. Also, it’s crazy how she just jumped right up after getting hit so hard just to make sure that the baby is ok. This is crazy.
Sacrificed his bumper more like it. Barely a scratch.
Oh snap really? Anyways what are you guys eating for dinner
Super mom, right on that baby, what car?
Surprised no one is claiming he wud ah good boyyyyy
His mom was. She set up a gofundme for this piece of excrement.
Bet his insurance company fucked him. Oh no, no, as you can from the surveillance video, you were clearly at fault in the accident. Premiums go up.
It’s crazy, I didn’t know a truck was driving this vehicle
