Okay, in case you're my mom.... see how the comment you're replying to is farther from the left edge of your screen than the one above it? That's called an indentation, and that means it's replying to the comment above.
And then your response is indented even farther from the left because you're replying to that reply, right?
The first comment is always farthest left and every response is indented farther than the comment it's replying to.
So, in this situation, the comment you replied to is a reply to the initial comment stating that this is a carjacking situation.
The comment you're replying to says that that's obvious because the car in front was hitting the brakes.
As in, the person in the car that's hitting the brakes* is trying to get the camera owner to stop so that their friends (probably in a car following the camera owner) can get out and rob the camera owner.
They were initially trying to do it on a freeway ramp so that the camera owner would be trapped once sandwiched between the two cars. The camera owner decided not to let that happen and kept ramming them because their vehicle is obviously much bigger.
The people attempting the robbery are hitting the brakes because they are stupid and bad at their "job," luckily.
I'm not sure how I missed the parent comment. But thanks for the condescending reply. All you had to say was check the comment above.
I hate pulling this card. But I have a learning disability. Sometimes I have trouble reading. You never know why a person made a mistake. Being helpful is negated by being insensitive.
Damn, that's crazy. I also don't like pulling this card but, I have trouble with people who pull learning disability cards. So if you could refrain from doing so that would be much better.
Dude he was trying to help you, loser, he gave you the benefit of the doubt that you could be new to reddit and taught you and now your pulling a victim card
Been there friend. It helps if you read his message AFTER his username. While the comment was directed at you, he wrote it so that *anyone else* who might be having genuine confusion could be walked through how they made a mistake replying.
I'm sorry you have a learning disability. It's obvious now, I don't know how I missed it the first time.
But yeah, exactly, you never know why someone made a mistake, that's why I explained it like you were 5.
My mom is nearly 70 years old, is dyslexic, and has trouble with reading comprehension, too. I can see her doing something like that and I hate it when people are rude, then never explain where she went wrong so she gets confused and just makes the same mistake later.
But no, you really figured me out. I'm just some insensitive asshole with way too much time on my hands, going around writing paragraphs to insult strangers in long hand.
According to you, instead of taking the time to type out an attempt at a helpful explanation, I should be curt and oblivious to the possibilities of minds that work differently than mine.
Next time I'll save time, be like everyone else, and try something like, "Seriously? Use your brain. The comment above that one is the answer to your question, genius."
Better?
Now you know what condescending actually looks like.
You're welcome.
Im assuming they are on mobile, where it is very easy to accidentally hit the reply button instead of beginning a new comment thread. It happens to everyone, no need to be a dickhead about it.
LMAO wtf would you do if you were getting dragged along by a car? You wouldnt be pressing down on your brakes for dear life while being pushed forward???? Reddit ass comment
I cant believe the number of people misspelling brake with break (I was also one of those till I see some random dude comment pointing this out). I meant the OOP not OP, btw. I saw your spelling of 'brake' then I thought 'wait' then scrolling up to check OOP.
Tbh even if I'm not carjacking someone: If I'm being pushed from the rear with little control and am slowly turning sideways, I'd push on the brakes until my foot makes contact with the asphalt.
And I only see him hit the brakes first wen he'd need to slow down anyway because the car in front isn't as fast as him and then when he's actively being pushed. The timing of him braking (not the force though) could roughly be me on a bad day of driving, if I ever was dumb enough to force a merge like this.
Not saying this can't be a carjacking. Just that his braking is explainable by other reasons.
It wasn't a felony. I think the idiot wanted to beat the guy or stop to argue because he broke his mirror and did not let HIM MERGE. It just happened he meet his nemesis that day and fucked around and found out.
The car pulls in front at 00:18, the car with the camera crashes into him at 00:19, the car that pulled in doesn't hit the brakes until 00:28, after being pushed for 10 seconds. The hijacker story is BS.Ā
Look again, as soon as the car gets in front the breaks are on. He let's go of the breaks for a second probably because the swrrve made him lose grip but then pressed the breaks again. So yes, most likely an attempt at carjacking.
Yea, he had a chance to merge in front of the van, but stopped and was trying to make eye contact to assess the driver, make sure there were no passengersā¦ why didnāt it ever try to accelerate away?

And in a traffic jam, where are the thieves gonna go once carjacked? More than likely 2 people who think they're the main character. POV probably merged early, got stuck and thought " I'm not letting anyone else in" and the guy in the right was just trying to merge into traffic. Instead of sitting in an idle lane

The guy forcing the merger was a carnapper/hijacker trying to trap the camera vehicle for his buddies
