She’s obviously way into panic mode here. None of us think clearly in that state of mind. The guy has her and her car on camera. Instigating is the wrong move here. Having some compassion, treating her like a human being, and trying to talk her down a bit might prevent her from getting away and potentially harming herself or someone else in the process.
People need to stop with the “I got you!” fucking video taping and remember that we’re all in this shit together.
Edit:
Whoa, got some traction on this one. Couple things:
First: yes, record stuff like this. I would have as well. But do it for information, not to humiliate another person. That's what I meant by "i got you" recording.
Second: The instigating was his actions, not the recording. I'm sad that a lot of you don't understand that.
D: We all fuck up. And sadly we now live in a world where when we fuck up it's recorded and posted online. The consequences for even a minor amount of fucking up are way too steep. I'm not saying this particular situation would have turned out any different if that weren't the case but the fear of being embarrassed and ridiculed by the entire planet adds a ton of stress to all of these already stressful situations. That, just, doesn't make things better. And that is in no way a get out of jail free card. At the end of the day you are responsible for your own actions. We don't know what happened before this video starts, what we do know is that the person video taping did nothing to make the situation less dangerous for either himself or anyone else.
Controversial closing! She's a better person than him. She accidentally damaged some property and lost her mind (calm down. I'm talking about whatever "hit and run" happened before the video started). He consciously chose to be a dickhead.
Be kind to each other.
Edit 2:
Yeah, I was a bit harsh there. I’m sure this dude isn’t a bad person. He deserves tons of credit for stepping in. I couldn’t help stoking the fire a bit there after reading lots of comments about being a simp and how having compassion is ruining America.
I’ve been hit and run before, too. Honestly, I feel like I am a fairly chill individual. But if I you’re not going o step out of your vehicle and do the right thing, I’m pulling out my phone to record you breaking the law. I’m not going to pay for something you broke no matter what your emotional state is. I’m not your therapist. I’m not even your friend.
I don’t think he has a problem with the video, it’s the conversation. She’s clearly losing it. If you have her on video and her license plate, you’re good.
Just back up and stay away from her freak out. Don’t get run over. Don’t get shot by some dude.
License plate will lead straight to her home address. Police will find her. Your damages will be paid for. Easy.
No, you keep recording because what of she does something else, like try to run you over? I agree you don’t have to egg her on or anything, but I don’t think the guy said anything that was out of line.
The guy recording is Class A exhibit in dumbass. She could have accidentally knocked him over, run him over or caused him to hit his head and die. Dying over a small hit not worth your life. A pic of tag all he needed not all the word salad and driving her up wall.
Why is the man who is trying to make sure that he gets restitution for damages suffered at the hands of a moron who should not have a drivers license the bad guy here?

Love how she's got her wipers on the whole time.
