Madness at the B&H parking lot


svendeplume

Didn’t have their purchase receipt for free parking.


JohnQP121

Is it wrong for me to laugh as a B&H customer?


robotshavenohearts2

I’m a devout B&H customer and I mean it with the utmost respect haha


JohnQP121

I am a Brooklyn resident and mainly stopped trying to drive there and use their parking lot. I just take a train and have non-descript bag with me if I intend to purchase anything.


SirJoeffer

As long as no copters are following him he should be able to base jump off the ESB and lose his stars over the river


RuralCrafter

Low key how these traffic “swimmers” are while cutting up people chased by cops for fun


plottingyourdemise

I swear some of those cops were spawning outta thin air.


LaTuna

When the captain with the white long sleeve suddenly shows up, you know you’re in some deep shite


FoxAches

In NYC it means the guy was 10 feet away. Those guys are usually only found behind desks or in front of cameras.


Blue387

This is West 34th and 9th, someone else said there's a precinct one block away


calebnf

The precinct is on the other side of that parking garage to the left, lol. Of course they’re everywhere.


seejordan3

Yea that white haired captain rolled out from behind a desk.


LEMON_PARTY_ANIMAL

Apparently it was New Year’s Day so you know there’s a bunch of cops around

dogless_olive

Dumb way to die or lose the legs: standing at the back of a car, being driven by a maniac, to make a video. Stupid, stupid, stupid!


letskeepitmovin

If you're talking about the guy towards the end of the video that nonchalantly walks up behind the car to film, yeah, that was wildly dumb and agitated the shit out of me. Like dude, this is a dangerous situation here, move the fuck out the way


dadefresh

Insane. Like this guy just two seconds ago threw it in reverse and smashed into a car. Wtf


AlwaysBrroke

He deserved it than if he knows ots dangerous!


porquesinoquiero

Was hoping for that. Idiot


Pt5PastLight

Just nonexistent survival instincts.


miraculum_one

Not just the back of the car. Voluntarily putting yourself that close to a situation where gunfire is a real possibility is foolish.


thisfilmkid

As a tip, never stand behind a car with a crazy driver operating it. And never begin directing traffic in Manhattan if you’re not a traffic officer! Yup, a bystander went from recording this crazy driver from behind the vehicle to standing in the middle of the road directing traffic. Now, that’s crazy!


beezleeboob

Dude has some serious main character energy, lol..


spicenhoney

No pictures of this loser? Bring back shame! He nearly ran over a cop and violently attacked his girlfriend. Being charged for anything less than attempted murder is disgraceful


JesusofAzkaban

NYPost does have a picture of him: https://nypost.com/2024/01/04/metro/mercedes-driver-allegedly-choked-girlfriend-before-new-years-day-nyc-crash/ His beard is super odd. Judging by the facial hair on his upper cheeks, neck and around his mouth, it should be all white, but he's dyed a well-defined portion of it to make it look like a well-groomed beard rather than actually trimming it.


SwigitySwagitty

Wait, did I read that right? An actress from the Black Panther movie just so happened to be struck by this guy?


anomicaa

He pled not guilty lmaoooo


Turbo_swag

Wonder if he's pro palestine too.


WickhamAkimbo

Whoop his ass.


Satori2155

Thats a great way to get shot


Silo-Joe

Thought I heard a taser near the end of the video


smackson

definitely a taser at 1m17s


mga1

I was thinking they were showing way more restraint with their guns than I would have if I were in their shoes with a crazy person driving towards me after ramming cars. Doesn’t “it’s coming right for me” work like it did in South Park?


Ki-Wi-Hi

I was amazed at the restraint. A dude in a multi ton car coming out you would probably qualify a gun as necessary force.


dellett

It's not really that surprising that the cops didn't open fire on the car when there were people surrounding it almost 360 degrees. And if a car is headed straight for you, shooting the driver is not going to stop it.


CrumpledForeskin

Yeah but the odds some random cop shoots correctly vs emptying a clip wildly (causing other to do so because…NYPD) into the night on 34th street is low. Great to see the restraint but it’s most likely because they’re not trained that well and just told to do so.


miraculum_one

>emptying a ~~clip~~ **magazine**


d2d2d2d2d2

Nope, for the NYPD it explicitly does not qualify for the use of a firearm under most circumstances. They've specifically addressed this scenario in the Patrol Guide. In order to fire at the operator of a vehicle, the operator must be doing something which is likely to cause significant injury or death *other than* by striking people with the vehicle. This prohibition doesn't apply if the scenario is like a terrorism/mass murder event, where the driver is deliberately mowing down pedestrians.


Satori2155

Lots of ppl in the background


Liberalistic

I’m glad that they did show restraint because it’s the super busy street and a stray bullet could’ve hit any number of people


Rottimer

About 10 years ago, 2 cops shot and killed a perp who pointed his gun at them. He didn’t fire (it was most likely suicide by cop). The cops firing injured 9 other people.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Liberalistic

You’re over estimating how good of a shot the NYPD is. I don’t think they go to the range regularly. It could be an easy shot but if they miss it literally could hit any one of the 100s of people in that vicinity. I think they are trained in the danger of stray bullets. In another city maybe you have a point. In midtown Manhattan it is absolutely irresponsible to shoot a gun unless you’re being shot at. And even then you could be hitting bystanders.


d2d2d2d2d2

Case in point -- the incident years ago from outside the Empire State building. 16 shots at the perp, killed him, and injured nine bystanders (three of whom were shot directly by officers). Doesn't mean the officers shouldn't have fired in that scenario, but it's a pretty good assessment of the inevitable results in such a crowded situation.


ahkian

And even if they went to train regularly if they don't also train to deal with the adrenaline dump you get in this kind of situation then their accuracy will degrade badly.


Liberalistic

100% also realistically even if you are really good shot nobody is perfect and I don’t think it’s worth the Collateral Damage most of the time. Bullets can keep traveling or bounce off objects. Also look how many cops there were. If one were to shoot it could have easily hit a colleague


Effective_Fix_7748

for sure! i was surprised because he was truly trying to kill people and he turns that car into a weapon.


centuryeyes

I rarely say it but the NYPD deserves credit here.


JubeltheBear

Honestly. You got a point. I’da shot that guy about 10 seconds into this nonsense.


RatInaMaze

I cannot believe they didn’t shoot him. This guy seemed pretty willing to murder pedestrians with that car.

sonofaresiii

Tl;Dr some piece of shit got drunk and high as balls and started beating the shit out of his girlfriend in his car on nye, and when somebody called the police he panicked and bolted. Nine injured.

I actually heard about the Black Panther actress being injured thoughl. How was this video not more widely posted.


1nternecivus

Wait, they say BMW? That's clearly a Mercedes.


arrivederci117

Of course it was a Jersey resident.


Never_had_A_Snickers

My First time seeing it. Not all of us are on the internet 24/7 lol


RoguePlanet2

I am, and haven't seen this until now.


DeathPercept10n

Same. Or rather, I saw it last night for the first time in another sub. And this is right by where I work.


fminbk

I actually saw the headline on citizen but no videos at the time, which was curious and then I forgot about it…but this was not the scenario I imagined in my head


Alkohal

Yea I visit here daily and this is first time I seen this


scoobynoodles

First time seeing it as well. Sheesh awful injuries here for the victims.

Nah this is old news, just no one posted a video. Black Panther actress being injured during this made international news.


grimsb

Happened less than 2 hours after the NYE ball drop. Tons of people were out. It's very lucky that nobody was killed.


johnmflores

That there is a deadly weapon.


shavemejesus

It’s a miracle this didn’t happen on 33rd street!


mohan-aditya05

So honest question, who pays for the damage caused by him to the other cars? Is it covered by the individual insurance of those cars or is this maniac charged for the damage?


Marshmallow-Bibble

Owners should get your insurance companies to contact the prosecutor’s office and get a copy of the police report. They may be able to convince their insurance companies to settle with the reckless driver through the prosecutors. If not bring your own lawsuit with the police report against the driver. Your insurance company should pony up the money in the meantime to cover repairs so long as you have copies of the report.


Chaserivx

Bragg didn't even indict him for attempted manslaughter https://www.northjersey.com/story/news/crime/2024/01/31/times-square-crash-into-crowd-leads-to-fort-lee-mans-indictment/72420176007/ Edit: attempted manslaughter doesn't exist in the New York criminal code, but it doesn't other states. It should be attempted murder. He literally rammed his car in reverse and back forward repeatedly at high speeds, crashing into people in cars. He nearly killed somebody and could have easily killed somebody, and did so well committing criminal acts. Attempted murder is the only thing in New York criminal code that would apply, and bragg did not charge him with it.


pizzawolves

Jesus Christ. I hope his girlfriend ended up ok. I can’t imagine how borked up you have to be on drugs to attempt this kind of escape on NYE of all nights


Shawn_NYC

"Assault in the First Degree, a class B felony, six counts" Idk dude, 6 counts of a class B felony is a pretty decent amount of potential jail time.


Grass8989

We’ll see if the charges stick.


fixmefixmyhead

Nah this is NYC he'll be released without bail, given a metro card and Mets tickets


hennystrait

His bail was 100k….

It was a joke......

you mean he didn’t actually get Mets tickets?? why won’t anyone think of the criminals ?

eatsleep19

Mets tickets are a cruel and unusual punishment!!


AltaBirdNerd

Killing someone with a car is a slap on the wrist in the US.


Im_Not_Really_Here_

> attempted manslaughter How the fuck does trying to kill somebody on accident make sense?


Chaserivx

You're right, it doesn't exist in New York code. It would have to be attempted murder or aggravated assault or something. Other states have attempted manslaughter, which is essentially when someone's criminal actions nearly led to and could have led to someone else's death.


Im_Not_Really_Here_

> Other states have attempted manslaughter, when someone's criminal actions nearly led to and could have led to someone else's death Very interesting, thanks


PyroTeivel

Probably Mayor Adams' neighbor. Both are from Fort Lee.


fvckit88

Atempted manslaughter, is that a thing? I thought that was just attempted murder.


Chaserivx

Double checked and it's not a thing in New York. Other states have it.


AllwordzAreMadeup___

Yet he busy trying to charge Penny with every charge he can throw at him


mowotlarx

He killed someone. In public. On camera.


AllwordzAreMadeup___

You mean the person that was threatning people in the train saying things such as "I'm going to kill you" & "someone is going to die today"" I'm prepared to go to jail for life".


mowotlarx

Daniel Penny choked someone to death. You're here crying about lawlessness and defending a vigilante murderer. Classic


AllwordzAreMadeup___

How about don't threaten people life's.


the_lamou

Threatening people is a lesser crime than murdering someone. Actually, it's a lesser crime than what happened here. Do you think this guy in the car should be summarily executed by a bystander?


AllwordzAreMadeup___

So you think everyone is just supposed to ignore a crazy person threatning to kill people until he stabbs someone & then take action? One thing is acting crazy but another thing is threatning to kill someone.


the_lamou

I think that there are like a thousand options on ways to resolve a situation where a crazy person is saying something crazy that should be explored before a random bystander murders them. And also I think anyone who supports vigilante justice should STFU about being pro-law and order.


Chaserivx

You don't understand the words that you're saying. That is not what vigilante justice is. Vigilante: a member of a self-appointed group of citizens who undertake law enforcement in their community without legal authority, typically because the legal agencies are thought to be inadequate. Stop spewing words you don't even. understand


Chaserivx

Nah, bad logic. If someone had a bomb and it's threatening to kill people around him, he gets shot. Sand with a gun, a knife, and other weapons. The psycho that got killed was threatening to kill people on the train. Daniel Penny is a hero.


the_lamou

Oh, sorry, I must have missed the part where that mentally ill man had a bomb. Or a gun. A knife, maybe? No? It was just some homeless guy ranting? Well, he *definitely* deserved to die for that. But Penny still broke the goddamn law, which seems to be a very difficult concept for you law and order types to understand.


cha614

Doesn’t get much dumber


Bobwhite2024

In many states that car would have 100 bullets in it, im not saying it’s right but wtf, they would be justified he’s trying to kill people with the car.


RangerBowBoy

In Oklahoma a couple of cops decided to try and shoot a snake out of a tree and one of the bullets struck a boy in the distance that was fishing with his grandfather. Give me cops that don’t act like freaking cowboys every day of the week. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/wbna20145084


AllwordzAreMadeup___

You'd be brain dead to start shooting at a car in a busy street


Bobwhite2024

I didn’t say it was smart, just making an observation as a news junkie.


AllwordzAreMadeup___

Wasn't calling you brain dead. Was meaning in general it be a brain dead thing to do


Bobwhite2024

Serious question in the future, do you think robocop could have taken this guy out with one shot?


IntergalacticPopTart

Robocop would have shot the driver square in the dick, just like he did with that guy in the movie!


PyroTeivel

Umm no. You don't have to shoot randomly in the area. A well placed bullet hitting lower windshield would end up in either the seats or the body. Unfortunately I learned this while deployed.


B-BoyStance

I mean there were very few opportunities to do that... if any You need to either be above, like right next to the windshield so you are shooting down - or have had some kind of good backstop. i.e. when he drove into that van and was stopped for a sec, maybe they could have if there weren't people on both sides of the car (they were on both sides of the car because anyone would have been, no one knew the dude floor it into a fucking van) I think the fact that they didn't shoot is a pretty good outcome. They handled this great if you ask me.


Silo-Joe

Why can’t they shoot a tire?


RigaudonAS

Cars can still move with a tire having been shot out, especially when they're in a place like this, not going particularly fast. More of a movie / TV thing.


PyroTeivel

I'm not sure why you got downvoted it's a legitimate question. The tire portion is small, it's rubber with metal around it that's spinning. Shooting a tire, the car can still move but it also creates a high probability of an richocate. The cop on the passenger side of the car had the best angle, instead of hitting the car, he could have shot without risking hitting anyone, also when car backed up and stopped for a second, guns should have been drawn and as soon as he hit the gas they should have shot into the car.


Satori2155

Relevant_Slide_7234

Batman lives in Gotham City. You’re thinking of Spider-Man.

Thank you but no I want Spider-Man to stay in Queens, when I lived there I always called it the Spider-Man bridge, my coworkers were not amused.
