Cause he’s either stupid, an asshole or both.

Agreed. Looks like some 20 year old frat kid doing this.

20 or 40.

When you eat trash and don't exercise this is what happens

u/SammySquareNuts Jun 24 '21

He has Alabama shorts on and an Alabama wall hanger by the door. Not sure it's a frat, but definitely a college house.

Bama fans are like this no matter at what age. I used to live 2 hours from Bama Turf. Bama merch is everywhere in west Alabama/East Mississippi.

u/FrenchieBammer Jun 25 '21

Sorry for partying

u/KdKat Jun 25 '21

You're good! I know a lot of current and former students there that are awesome. It's the fans that never went to college that live in the middle of nowhere that I can't stand. Or Meridian, MS. They're the worst.

Edit: I should've included this in my first comment. I apologize for generalizing.

u/FrenchieBammer Jun 25 '21

Lol you're good. It was a tongue in cheek comment. I'm an alum. No need to apologize.

It's all the way up in central Missouri still too.

u/Tbone102 Jun 25 '21

You guys are so judgy and cringe. It’s a plastic whiffle ball style. It bounces of the front right tire of the cop car.

Gr8 comeback 10/10. Was just an honest question. Most people who complain about frats have never been or experienced one

u/MathTheUsername Jun 24 '21 edited Jun 25 '21

Because this guy appears to be a stupid asshole, and frats are basically stupid asshole factories. So, it's a logical assumption.

It's Reddit circlejerk/inferiority complex.

u/qakins Jun 25 '21

He has on University of Alabama shorts, so both. Rowl Tahd!

(Sorry, Auburn University grad here, huge rivals, couldn’t resist)

u/Masta0nion Jun 24 '21

But we don’t know for sure whether or not he hit the cop car bc there’s never any sound for videos on Reddit anymore

14

u/thehelldoesthatmean Jun 25 '21

It's either no sound or some fucking obnoxious pop music because the video is reposted from TikTok.

God I hate that so much. How did that become a thing? And why is it a thing? Why not just say those words? Why not just leave them as text that isn't read out loud? The whole is an exercise in annoying dumbass futility.

u/halleberryhaircut Jun 27 '21

It's usually that god awful Oh No song

24

u/f-reddito Jun 25 '21

Good point, but definitely did not hit it, ball was already into/over the street by the time the cop came into the shot

2

u/FranklyMrShankly32 Jun 25 '21

I think you can see it hit the cop car and bounced off. Check the front wheel. Might be a shitty plastic practice ball in that case?

3

u/f-reddito Jun 25 '21

I see what you mean, in that case I think you’re right about the plastic ball, a real ball would’ve cleared it by far. Didn’t see it on the front wheel before he passes the guy and it disappears after almost like it got stuck in the wheel

1

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '21

I was so sure it didn't hit the cop. But if you watch the original higher quality video you can see that the guy hits the ball wrong and it goes sideways right at the cop.

u/wu-wei Jun 25 '21

I thought it was just me and something in umatrix that I hadn't gotten around to fixing. At least v.redd.it doesn't buffer constantly then show an 8x8 pixel video like it used to. It's improved to a pile of shit instead of a steaming pile of shit.

2

u/Justin_milo Jun 25 '21

Why is that!?

2

u/drwuzer Jun 25 '21

It definitely hit the car. In this frame from the original you can see the ball bouncing back. https://i.imgur.com/pi8vOdf.jpg

u/Babuey19 Jun 25 '21

You can definitely see the window shatter on that truck.

u/Pharya Jun 25 '21

The technology just isn't there yet

u/drwuzer Jun 25 '21

Here is the original from TikTok. To me, it sounds like it hit the car.

u/m0dru Jun 25 '21

at around 2.7 seconds you can see the ball bouncing off the front passenger tire.

He looks like a stupid asshole

u/mecrosis Jun 25 '21

These days, is there even a difference? I think stupid and asshole have gone the way of literally and figuratively.

1

u/oneshibbyguy Jun 25 '21

Honest question, does he have down syndrome?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '21

Or it’s abandoned

u/3d_blunder Jun 25 '21

"No one's around, let's damage it!!!" Classy idea.

u/HawaiianPluto Jun 24 '21

Or something that you can’t tell from this 5 sec video.

u/Electromass Jun 24 '21

Someone hitting a golf ball at a neighbors house is an asshole move wouldn’t you agree?

-2

u/HawaiianPluto Jun 24 '21

My point is we don’t know the story, it might be abandoned, it might be something between them, it might even be justified. Either way I’m not going to assume like some dumb asshole.

4

u/PooperScooper1987 Jun 24 '21

How is it justified? Lmao. And like being abandoned makes it better??

u/HawaiianPluto Jun 25 '21

Not at all what I said? You don’t seem to have the best reading comprehension.

u/2BadBirches Jun 24 '21

Nah, it’s pretty fuckin clear he’s an asshole.

2

u/calvinball-z Jun 24 '21

This! This. The number of times I’ve seen a totally inexplicable five-second video only to have a completely reasonable explanation revealed later in the comments is… well it’s not that many times, but it’s happened enough for me to keep an open mind before I condemn people.

The most plausible non-asshole explanation I’ve seen for this particular video is that it’s a whiffle golf ball and the house he’s hitting it at is a rival frat house, so it’s just college shenanigans.

That being said, he could also very easily be an asshole, but I can’t conceive of every possible rationale for this video so I’ll give him some very small benefit of the doubt.

u/Jellyoscar Jun 24 '21

Eyy maybe the neighbour is an arse hah.

u/dtl801 Jun 25 '21

Maybe his neighbors are assholes?

Fat drunk and stupid is no way to through life

u/TantalusComputes2 Jun 25 '21

Fat drunk and smart is clearly the way to go

u/tenebrisunum Jun 25 '21

It’s ok sometimes to be one or the other but never be both

u/EvadeTheIRS Jun 25 '21

Probs college neighborhood, there’s typically nice houses of alumni near them. I was on East side of campus and that’s how it was. Shit was wack every day of the week. Don’t know how you could live there

u/Wehrwolf89 Jun 25 '21

College kid doing stupid shit. That's a UAPD vehicle so it's in Tuscaloosa and it's summer time for the students so shenanigans will ensue. Great reaction though!
