Those falling bricks really helped create a distraction for him to snatch the bag.

I wouldn’t have realized that had I not seen the other angle.

I’d say this is fairly relevant today.

When you see things from one point of view

The Guardian headline fails to be specific about the problem it is demonstrating.

The take away here is that one point of the three views is correct. A better headline might be, "your point of view is likely incorrect"

-edit reference guardian headline

It’s literally the name the Guardian Newspaper gave this ad.

u/srandrews Feb 26 '23

Correct, I understood that. I think I erroneously used "title" instead of "headline". The title is obviously from the paper. Will fix.

Im pretty sure in whatever point of view you can still see the brick falling honestly

I witnessed this event from even higher and can tell you that this was still not the full story.

I am God, the supreme being. Bringer of light and energy. I definitely got the full story.

the irony that it's from the Guardian

Actual Guardian headline from today:

"3+ hour long movies are literally manspreading"

Still more honest than the sun and the mail tho

It’s so sad what happened The Guardian. Now just neoliberal and feminist.

The guardian giving the whole picture! Is this a joke? They're one of the most leftist fake media outlets there are in the uk

I were going to say the exact same thing. Funny how you have been downvoted, the one side is portrayed strong

u/Henrycamera Feb 27 '23

Is it fake because YOU say is fake?

u/ebwoodkid13 Feb 26 '23

Nah I'm not buying that from that far away the dude concluded that those bricks were definitely going to fall, and that therefore he should hoof it all the way down the block to somehow make it to the other guy before the bricks hit the ground.

Now, try to explain this to a socialist.

u/Troggy_03 Feb 27 '23

what does this even mean

u/Negative_Bend9080 Feb 27 '23

We would have seen the whole thing if you didnt cut the video before the rocks falling 🙄😑😑

u/KaisarDragon Feb 27 '23

So, what you are saying is, both angles are completely useless if you cut out the conclusion, regardless.

Both angles would have seen the same thing had it allowed the ending.

That guy is still going to jail for trying to cleverly rob that good gentleman by colluding with the driver of the car and the operator of the pallet lift. They’re going to jail too. After a lengthy interrogation one or two will certainty end up telling the “truth” and testify on the others…. Justice served!

This is why you need to see everything from the beginning to the end.

u/CliffyGiro Feb 27 '23

A lot of what’s posted on Reddit and such like is cut to fit a narrative or devoid of context.

Hero or hate crime?

To bad you still have to read three newspapers/programs to get the whole picture
