sure it is news, but seriously, this is fuckin' disgusting. i won't even watch this clip to see if they used the full clip that they did on tv...it was one of the most gratuitous things i've ever seen on the news. the driver had turned himself in, so you cant even pretend they were trying to find the guy.

Go ahead and watch it. It's not that bad really.

well, i saw it before....i just thought it was gratuitous. O and A love calling out these news stations for shit like this. well here is another example.

do you guys think they're going for the "we're showing this because we don't want your kids to be like this kid and randomly run into the street" excuse?

I was just being an ass. The news folks would sell out their mothers for ratings. I agree, it's definitely gratuitous since they already had the guy.

They paused it before he got hit. The only thing offensive to me is the low-to-the-ground hacky shot of the shoe in the street.

Lesson: don't be playin' in the street.

The accident happened at 1:24 a.m. Saturday on East 42nd Street in East Flatbush.
WTF is an 11 year old doing out on the streets at that time of the night?

I know that's no excuse for the hit and run part but if he was a home where he belonged
at that point he would still be alive today. Jesus fucking Christ people are just stupid
when it comes to raising kids anymore.

QFT That's EXACTLY my first thought when they told the age and the time that it happened. What do you expect to find at that time of night??? An ice cream truck???:icon_roll

What's up with the fucked-up vampire teeth on the guy whose video cameras caught the event? Fucking undead Santa Claus-lookin' motherfucker. . . Geeesh!!!!:icon_eek:

You both nailed my thoughts. I'm glad Busta Rhymes turned himself in too. Just surprised nobody else was injured during the 1:30 am block party.

I know the the douche driver. Not in a personal way but workwise. He and his friends are thee biggest thiefs of hondas in the hood. Bunch of asshats, the lot of 'em. Wanna bet the car he was racing against was boosted? or at least had stolen parts in it. I hope he goes away for a long time.

And 11 yearolds hang around all night in the ghetto. Sheeeeet . Where you been?

Can't wait for someone to actually call out the douch media for the whores that they are. Not like joe on the corner which will never get air time, but someone in a position that people feel they have to listen.

he was outside because of the heat? How fucking hot is it at 1:30 in the morning out there? Kid couldnt sleep so he went out with his buddys? Take a bath and go back to sleep douchebag...

This was Brooklyn .. they were probably looking for a fire hydrant to open in order to cool off
