No that is not photo shop. Not staged.

The face plant with both feet off the ground is devastating.

ETA: Pedestrian is left with a fractured skull after a runaway TYRE strikes him on the back of the head

Well. Sounds like he’ll be fine. By fine, I mean still breathing.

Sometimes fates a b!&ch !

That seems almost like it was supposed to happen I wonder what the dudes background was?

Ecclesiastes 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

In other words, **** happens. To everyone. Whenever it happens.

 

[2A_Tom]

Basically.

That looked fatal. If that dude recovered, he's one lucky guy.

Somebody didn't complete the rotation job... I couldn't resist.

Somebody didn't complete the rotation job... I couldn't resist.

But... did he sue? And for negligence, or statutory auto repair fraud?

Man I am not sure which hit did the most damage....the tire hitting his head or the ensuing face plant.

This will have to be my last comment on this - dead horse and all that.

You guys are right - and the court backs you up on that.

But that is legal stuff and I am not a lawyer, I just know reality stuff.

If the job was completed the wheel and tire would still be on the vehicle.
If the job was not completed the wheel and tire would come off the vehicle.
The wheel and tire did come off the vehicle.
Therefore the job was not completed.

OK, I am done. I'll just keep my incorrect opinion and move on.

No you are absolutely correct. The job was not completed. That the car s lowered and on the tires, the lugs are torqued to factory spec then the job is completed. It is beyond obvious that this last part of the process was not done.

Legal Bravo Sierra aside.

Sydney Knife Attack Victim Pulls 20cm Blade Out Of His Own Stomach And Stabs Man To Death


Despite being the first to be attacked Hargrave-McKey was initially charged with murder. Yesterday, he plead guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter.


Well, that's kinda B.S.
Sounds like defense to me.

That's par for the course in countries without actual liberty.

Sounds like crap - but there are so few details it is hard to say anything for sure.

Dude, pack your **** and come on over. We've got more jobs available than asses to fill them.

 

[actaeon277]

It's like a dystopian future where people can't imagine defending themselves.

Exactly. Its time for the people to revolt with rulings like that.

Oh, wait. They cant.

I'd say you described how it should be done properly and not negligently. How about this, the mechanic misreads the torque wrench or misreads the required torque in the manual and over tightens the lugs. A couple of blocks down the road they snap and the wheel falls off. Was the job not completed or was it completed but negligently? Compared to you go in to get a tire rotation done and tell them you want new lugs and nuts installed too, they say okay and charge you for it. But only rotate the tires and put new shiny nuts on, a couple of days later the lugs fail and the wheels fall off. First case I'd say negligence which the law the guy tried to use does't cover, the second would be fraud which the law does cover.

Sounds like defense, but he stabbed the guy 11 times in the chest and back. I'm gonna guess the back part is what got him.

He was assaulted with a deadly weapon.
If the first stab killed the guy, it would be okay. At least here.
11 times. 11 stabs can happen in about 3 seconds.
And in close combat, people kinda move all over. Just cause there was a back wound, doesn't mean he stabbed the guy running away.

Had he stabbed the guy once, and stopped (so it would be "fair"), the guy could have grabbed the knife away, as had just happened, or pulled another. Then he could be dead.

 

[actaeon277]

Wow.
Woman makes a statement on Facebook about her ex-husband refusing to pick up medicine for the sick kids.
Husband is an officer, gets another to swear out an affidavit for her arrest for defamation.
Prosecutor says, just because it's not against the law, doesn't make it right.
Wow.

Shoot until the threat has stopped. Seams reasonable the same would apply to knives.
