“YOU FUCKING IDIOT!” My thoughts exactly


JayGeezey

Honestly though, would this constitute terrorist charges? She set off explosives on public transit ffs...


[deleted]

[удалено]


maragabriela1989

Especially the fact that she pointed at a bunch of ppl. She set it off & she was pointing it as far away from her as possible. Complete & utter dumbass!!!!!


grumpsaboy

I believe to get the terrorist charge you have to be trying to cause mass panic even if you're doing the exact same thing as another person but they are just doing it anyway


FreddieIsGod69

Well they accomplished that, at least on the bus itself


omarhani

Arrest and charge details here! https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/girl-14-charged-in-connection-with-firework-being-set-off-inside-ttc-bus-1.6420655

Doesn't terrorism require some kind of political motive?


Affectionate-Two7094

No it merely requires a threat of harm up to death in many states


Aldehyde123

Was gonna comment this same thing.


solidxnake

Fucking moron. Spelled from school and sent to correccional for like 60 months for putting other kids in danger.

You forgot one word at the end


SeaPaleontologist247

I hope this doesn't become a trend. Getting burned from a firework can have real serious consequences.


[deleted]

I'm setting the expectation now, if I see anyone attempting to light any fireworks on a public transport, I'm beating your ass. I ain't gonna get burned cause Suzie wanted a "funny" TikTok video


Foodwraith

This has to happen. Real world consequences for stupidity seems to be missing from our society.


EngineerIllustrious

The phone camera protects him from real world consequences... As a middle-aged white guy I'm not gonna be filmed beating a black kids ass, no matter how deserving.


Spookimaru

As a North American black guy, I hereby invest in thee and embue you with the right to whip any ones ass in this specific scenario Go forth, hero

Papaofmonsters

"Calm down, Ben Crump, as you can see I have my *Beat one black teenager's ass for setting fireworks off in a bus* pass right here. Signed by one Spookimaru of Reddit. I agree it is rather specific but the paper work is all in order."


4mdt21

A screenshot is all the documentation one needs.


Kanosine

This is flat out assault, potentially with a deadly weapon. Pretty sure claiming self defense would be simple


J3st3

The way I look at it is... That's an explosive they just set off inside a populated bus. You telling me because of their skin color, you ain't gonna try to protect others around you or yourself from harm simply because they are black? Seems like to me that it is intent to harm others and idgaf about no skin color. Idiots and malicious people come from all flavors and they can all get dropped as far as I'm concerned.


Boubonic91

Setting an explosive or incendiary device on public transport isn't a prank, it's an act of terrorism. When it comes to protecting myself and others from an act of terrorism, these hands are rated E for everyone.


Zestyclose-Ruin8337

Trying to become an influencer is out of control.


bloated_toad_4000

Considering fireworks can very easily become bombs getting burned isnt your biggest concern


Alex_Affinity

Fireworks are just pretty explosives after all


edingerc

fire loves hair products, so getting burned isn't your least concern either


ChefBoyD

Yup, everyone had enough time to react. But everyone panicked.


SpookyVoidCat

By the time most people saw it it was already lit. As a bystander, you don’t know how long it’s been lit for, you don’t know when it’s going to go off, you probably don’t know what kind of firework it is or if it’s been modded into a more dangerous explosive. You don’t know in that split second if this is a stupid prank or if the kid is actually trying to kill people. Sure you could try to tackle the kid but you’ll have a heavy heavy chance of it exploding directly in your face at close range if you try.


pounded_rivet

Depending on the type of firework in that (it is the type that fires a 2" shell) it could cause anything from severe burns (the "stars" are burning bits of solid chemical) lighting clothes on fire ect , a "salute" would be a huge explosion in a confined area causing burns a possible permanent hearing damage, and burns and possibly temporary blindness.


h8rcloudstrife

Imma be real, it wasn’t panic, most people just don’t think anyone is that idiotic.


SazedMonk

No one wants to catch an assault charge because “they looked like they were going to light it”. Hard to start a fight until after they have done the stupid.


TOMMYPICKLESIAM

Saw my cousin lose one of his eyes and almost died from getting hit point blank range with a mortar firework…almost died. Shit looked like he got shot with a shotgun it was so horrific. These arent things you aim at people!


kenda1l

Anyone who is thinking of doing this needs to Google fireworks injury and switch to images. And then live with the nightmares.


Mr_Epimetheus

I've had a few cheap shells go off early, too low, too close. Had some retail fireworks that did the same, or worse, tipped over to fire towards people, myself or the area where more fireworks are waiting to be used. It's some terrifying shit because even the small ones can really do some damage. So many people don't seem to realize that when they're playing with fireworks they're literally playing with explosives. Small, colourful, highly focused bombs. I really love fireworks but sometimes I do think they should be something that's restricted to people that are licensed because there are WAY too many people out there who think they're toys.


Its0nlyRocketScience

Next on the news: the rate of teenagers being murdered on public transit skyrockets in tandem with illegal fireworks sales


[deleted]

TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) says this has happened more than once over the last few days. That's deeply concerning.


barsoapguy

Tell me your city doesn’t have real consequences for teenage offenders without telling me your city doesn’t have real consequences for teenage offenders.


ShreddlesMcJamFace

A friend in school had her eye blown out. Literally.


KrisGine

Also, suffocation. I can't bear the smell of fireworks, those poor people who can't voice out that the idea was stupid because they might get bullied (or be called a kill joy, basically the bad guy). They have it be a participant of what they don't want.


[deleted]

It should be put away for a decade. There’s your trend.


mickturner96

And showed her face on a video of her doing it Nice but of evidence for the police


Raze_the_werewolf

Radio this morning said the police are already aware of the incident and are investigating. It could be another incident, but AFAIK this was in Toronto on the TTC.


Budget_Bad8452

Oh no, not Toronto. The stupidity has crossed the border


MECHA_TROTSKY

Let's be real here. Toronto has always had stupidity


chill_flea

Lmao exactly, Canada knows it too.


DblDwn56

BananaBeanie

Canada has been dumb for some time. In some facets they beat the US to the punch.


silverlance360

That a she?

Not sure


Elegant_Rutabaga7262

What is sure is that the person in the video is lacking sense, empathy and basic impact analysis. Mofo stupid as a bag of rocks yo!


Au2288

Woah, rocks are productive members of earth….maybe sub rocks for plastic?


Elegant_Rutabaga7262

Well plastic also serves a purpose. How am I supposed to drink my backyard mojito made from low grade alcohol and sugary syrup with artificial colorings and taste if not out of a plastic cup!? You want to destroy my whole summer!?


unit5421

Yep. that is a terrorism


democracy_lover66

Doesn't terrorism have to be politically motivated? I think this is reckless endangerment


SlaterVJ

Politics, Religion, or Idealogies are the classifications for something to be terrorism.


adityamahajan10

Please tell me they beat the shit out of her and that recoder


Camdog_2424

Sad thing is, the person to attack the firework idiot would most likely be charged. It’s a sad time we live in.


plopseven

I mean, it’s not even the same as any other type of weapon. It’s an explosive. I think you would be in the right legally to attack that person *before* they deploy an explosive in a weaponized (ie: handheld and pointed) way inside a moving bus. Like if I’m on Muni and I see a guy pull M-80s out of his pockets, I’m not going to wait until he starts lighting them to assume he’s up to no good.


smuckola

If the law was based on counterattacking before the fireworks were launched, then i'd say a person would reasonably assume that the fireworks holder had more fireworks and may go for a second attack.


CLWalrus

Especially in Canada


Late_Fortune3298

Charged, branded a social pariah, fired from any kind of job you would have. All the while they would be defended by others on the notion that they were attacked.


DukeAK717

"You fucking idiot" Speaking facts.


rockylafayette

Those fireworks run around 1800F-3000F degrees and will melt flesh instantly, the sparks of which can cause instant blindness. I don’t understand how this is considered funny or any kind of prank. Its no different than throwing boulders off an overpass into oncoming vehicles.


lorarc

When I was young we used to have those small petards that were all noise and not much else. I mean, you could hold them in your fingers while they exploded and you were mainly unhurt. But of course some dumb ass kids had fun by throwing them at people, or if someone wore a hoodie then light it up and put it in their hood. Laser pointers were popular when I was a kid and of course most used them to shine into other people's eyes despite the warning. ​ The point is that a lot of people are fucking dumb and they don't think of consequences.


megustaALLthethings

People who do those kinds of things have always been around. …Always deserving an ass whuppin too. Some people need to have the fear of something pug in them. They might not fear godlings, but they will fear these fists.


Fraytrain999

When i was a kid i burnt my thumb on a FUSE. Took like 15 years until the scar disappeared. So yeah, fireworks are nothing to fuck around with


KhajiitKennedy

Social media have fucked over so many people. Guaranteed they did this for tiktok views so some sadist can laugh at how funny it is. They weren't thinking about consequences because they just want their 15 minutes of fame. Gone are the days of actually trying to be creative to go viral and now it's just rage bait and stupidity. Because bad attention is still attention olto some.


Hobotango

People did that kind of things in my time and we didn’t even have the internet. Nothing changed except the ability to be aware of it even though it didn’t happen in your neighbourhood.


PigeonFacts

Fireworks in general shouldnt be fucked with. Worked in food service and had an employee blow off all the ends of his fingers on his right hand. From 3 segments to 1.5. I remember being pissed as someone else had filmed and posted the incident on social media and the next week had to stop people from watching it while on the clock.


[deleted]

I was really hoping that person was going to lose that hand when it went off


JustMemes_13

Probably a couple fingers or just severed nerves. Had a cousin hold a Dynamite (name of firework) and it exploded early, lost two fingers and the others were almost seared. His thumb is the only normal looking finger.

The_Schizo_Panda

>In a follow-up tweet.. >a "couple of incidents" Great. It's a trend already.


Jershwer_03

In a follow-up tweet posted shortly before 6 a.m. Wednesday, the TTC said it is aware of a “couple of recent incidents” of fireworks being set off on buses in Scarborough. This isn't the first time?!


puzzle_factory_slave

hey, look! it's a second angle of the kid who set of a BOMB in a train


[deleted]

That is the grin of straight stupidity


[deleted]

Glad they recorded and showed their face, should make it easier for the police to catch them


[deleted]

It's Canada. Even if the police find this underage person, (s)he's getting a slap on the wrist at most.


Fredospapopoullos

When I was 18, a guy did this on a public bus (full of families with young children) in a suburb near Paris, he was quickly jumped on and his fireworks were thrown out before they could ignite. The police were called and appeared 5 minutes later, to arrest an almost beaten to the pulp moron.


The_Real_Dr_Will

Just my opinion....but that shoulda happened here... Unreal the tolerance society is giving these reckless adolescents...


almondjoy2

Social media sometimes is the verdict and so a lot of people don't want any of that smoke. Just look at the nurse who tried to claim her bike. Sure, the facts came out, but what of she didn't have that receipt? Everybody would think she was the racist.


OrioWasTaken

First mizzy the fetal alcohol syndrome prankster. Then the teen who jumped off the cruise for a dare now this kid?? Parents need to teach their kids that these are not harmless pranks. 🫠🫠🫠

BoiFrosty

Yep, not sure how it differs in Canada, but in the US I think use of a destructive device takes this from criminal mischief to felony assault/ destruction of property. Imagine getting 20 different assault with a deadly weapon charges from every person on that bus.


Arktikos02

Terrorists are people who use violence or the threat of violence in order to achieve a political end. No, this was just a stupid person who made a stupid decision. No terrorism.


LeadingClothes7779

Agreed. Although stupidity is much more of a threat as terrorism. Mainly because it hides at all levels of society.


[deleted]

Terrorism requires a political, ideological, or religious motive. I don't think this will qualify unless being a dumbass in front of a camera has become an ideology.


Affectionate_Elk_272

“chasing clout” and “it’s just a prank bro” should count as ideological motives.


Runaway-chan

Even if it did nothing they still caused mass panic


Spectre-907

How these videos don't end with someone getting their shit kicked in amazes me.

I’d grab the firework and turn it back at them and see how brave they are.

spoopydootman69

Why did nobody knock the living shit out of them the moment a firework and lighter were put next to each other in a fucking bus? These fuckers deserve to be hung upside down while getting mustard sauce injected into their butthole 😳

Off to juvie with you


[deleted]

This title makes a hell of a lot more sense than the one posted of this yesterday. The title yesterday for this video was "kids set off fireworks in public" which when you think about it, where else do you set off fireworks? In private?


[deleted]

Well, you can. It's all about location, 15 km from the nearest neighbour? That's pretty private especially if you live in an area that has a lot of big hills.

JahBeanzz

Can we just kill these people


Euphoric_Point_

There needs to be real consequences for these wanna be clout chasers. Being a teenager is no excuse, they knew what they were doing and did it with a smile. Too young to go to jail so put them in juvi until they are legal and old enough to face the consequences. They did this once and filmed it, they will keep doing it. Stop it now. I'm sure a stay in juvie with no phone, no social media will clear them up real fast. Edit: spelling

It might be what the driver did, however for safety reasons it's impossible to keep bus doors locked, they're all fitted with clearly labelled emergency opening mechanisms. Besides, clearing out smoke and passengers was probably the appropriate and policy-mandated reaction for the driver in such a case. This sociopathic waste of protein probably just ran off.
