They are pretty good on gas and people want the extra room and options. Trucks appeal to truck people and I dont think too many truck people will suddenly switch to a prius because of gas. I replaced my V8 Grand Cherokee with a Cherokee Trailhawk, one of the reasons for the decrease in size being gas. But I wouldnt go any smaller. Are you the goof with the vanity license plate that says Trailhawk?

Is that a Burnt Orange jeep? I think that colour is most popular for Trailhawks. I dislike. Mine is white.
Brandon Posted May 10, 2018 Report Posted May 10, 2018 Meh I don't really care about videos like that because we don't have the video showing what happened before. Who the hell knows what those two guys said before filming. In the heat of the moment people will say anything... many a times I've seen angry people wishing someone else to die and deep down they don't truly mean it.

What might they have said that made her reaction appropriate? For the record the woman’s own account is that she heard them speaking in their language and turned to look at them and one guy was looking back and she asked him if he had a problem. By her own account they said absolutely nothing to her. Edited May 10, 2018 by The Unknown Poster
blue_gold_84 Posted May 10, 2018 Report Posted May 10, 2018 They were speaking in another language amongst themselves. That shouldn't trigger a rational person to lose their mind and go off like she did. There is absolutely no justification at all for her what she said and did. What a disgraceful human being.

I don't trust videos like this because I've seen more then enough other clips where in one video it portrays someone as a victim... then later on an extended video from someone else shows how the original "victim" was antagonizing and being complete a-holes provoking someone else to lash out. For this particular video I don't know or really care about... in general though I don't trust anything unless you view the complete scene.

However diminishing the words and actions of the woman by questioning what the victims might have done to provoke her isn’t right. What might they have done to make her actions appropriate? In this particular case, we can figure out more of the story. Her words and actions don’t refer to anything specific. There is no “how dare you say/do that”. She’s attacking them for no apparent reason. Does that mean they did nothing? No. But other witnesses and her own statements tell us they did nothing wrong. In this case you can trust the video because it’s supported by other evidence. And ultimately nothing they could have done makes her actions acceptable
Brandon Posted May 11, 2018 Report Posted May 11, 2018 Videos such as this is why I don't believe anything unless the full story is shown uncut on camera: https://www.liveleak.com/view?t=alm7H_1525753426 I found it more amusing to watch the bodycam footage first followed by the lady falsely crying racism and being targeted The Unknown Poster 1

The point peolle have made is, what could the guys have done that would make her racist tirade appropriate?

So many videos like the lady getting mad at the restaurant only show one aspect of the complete situation. I reserve judgement only until I see the complete story of what has gone on. Far to many videos on the net of people crying victim only for them to edit out or only show a small part of the full picture.

Again, what could the men have done that would cause you to say “I agree with her”?

As TUP said, there are witnesses at the restaurant who back up what the men have said.

Why go to such lengths to defend them? they are indefensible. Especially now that we do know the entire story though her remarks should be universally condemned regardless.

At what point am I defending her, I said that I don't like videos like these because they do not paint the full picture all of the time. I even pointed out that I did not care about this particular incident.

My point ( as others) was it doesn’t matter what they did. And we know they did nothing. It’s a free country. You don’t have to condemn her words if you don’t feel it’s warranted.
