I mean, didn’t they even watch the video before preparing their statement? This is the worst try of self defence possible
What else could they come up with?
not saying anything would have been better
Something stupid like „we thought she had a gun“ or something. Don’t say it would be good. But every excuse would be better than this
the girl came right and we went a little left
Wild understatement:
The girl moved a barely percievable 1 inch right into the centre of the lane she was already driving straight forward in, the car drove up from behind, going much faster, and swerved diagonally across 2 whole lanes to intercept her.
1 inch is big okay?!!! also it's cold. Don't shame them!
I was in the pool!
"intercept"
Of course it was a bunch of douche-bag chuds.
Everything about those guys says "watch your drinks ladies".
If course it's India so they'll probably win too.
Yikes. Another day, another reason for north Indian men to stay home and do housework.
Women in india are safer without them.
What on earth is that grammar in the article title?? I can't read it properly.
That's standard news headline grammar as far as I'm aware
I had another go and I understand it now, but bruh, it's pretty damn fucked. I hate headline grammar. It's so unnecessarily complicated. Sometimes they'll even make it LONGER for the sake of sounding like asshats in this way.
Can we just appreciate this being one of the few times a red circle actually helped clarify something.
It's India, that woman is screwed
Were they drunk? Or was she targeted for some reason? In the longer clip, they pull up alongside her on her left and appear to be taunting her. Then she pulls up ahead. They came up and drove into her, appearing to be deliberately, from the other side.
It's wild but I found myself wondering who's filming. At first I thought she had a drone, but it seems more likely, given the crash footage, that it's a mounted camera and for whatever reason you can't see the mount. Maybe you can and I didn't notice. Wild that we have tech like that. I also saw an Instagram logo somewhere on the bike. So they're not wrong, she films her rides and posts them. She may be some kind of influencer. Doesn't justify attempted murder. Amazing that they assumed people might think it does. Influencers are annoying, sure, but do any sane people really think they should just be murdered in the street? I sure don't.
360 cameras usually leave out the mount. You can see that in a lot of extreme sports footage. I guess she is an influencer, but that's only relevant because of their ridiculous defense.
Or was she targeted for some reason?
She’s an unaccompanied woman in a religion-based fascist country.
That is a damn fine gimbal right there. It tracked with the action perfectly.
Probably a 360 camera. Records in all directions and you edit the video to show the action.
Cars are weapons. Drinking while shooting is dumb. Maybe one day when they are playing around sumtin will go off. Stupid is as stooooopid does. Thats what my mama always taught me. Watch out for the dum dums.
Hope these fuckers get fined for a lot
Should be charged with attempted murder and jailed.
