"we'll take the knife out in a minute sir, first I gotta get a picture. Reddit's gonna love this."

[–]SupermanV2 5 points6 points ago

Well usually it goes like this:

Step 1: Horrific Injury
Step 2: Take photo for reddit
Step 3: Hospital

It went a little differently this time, but with the same end result.

Step 1: Horrific Injury

You win this round Playboy.

[–]uranus86 1 point2 points ago

If it wasn't for those meddling kids, you might've gotten away with it

[–]youregonnaloveme 1 point2 points ago

You guys are cute together.

[–]youregonnaloveme 1 point2 points ago

Am I being punked? That's cool mate

[–]SupermanV2 0 points1 point ago

It's real.

[–]myusernamestaken[S] -5 points-4 points ago

Saw it on my facebook feed and had never seen it.

[–]youregonnaloveme -2 points-1 points ago

Except for the whole this being old thing.

[–]Audioworm 5 points6 points ago

Considering there is a KNIFE IN HIS FUCKING FACE, he seems pretty chill about the whole situation.

[–]SupermanV2 8 points9 points ago

He's probably lost a ton of blood and doesn't really know what's going on.

[–]FerretHydrocodone 4 points5 points ago

He's also probably on a lot of morphine and doesn't really know what's going on.

[–]uranus86 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, he's likely in shock.

[–]larsbrunsvold 1 point2 points ago

A paramedic showed me this pic a few months ago. I'm not sure if he got it from the Internet though or if he was there. His pic was from a different angle.

[–]balkonkind 3 points4 points ago

It's an old picture.

[–]LogicWizard 1 point2 points ago

this pic is fucking YEARS old.

[–]-Eyedontno- -1 points0 points ago

There's two other people taking a picture in this photo, was it from one of those angles?

[–]larsbrunsvold -1 points0 points ago

It was more from the angle like the cell picture to the left but better quality than a cellphone. The backstory I heard about this guy is that he was actually shot before this , then got the tat. Not sure how the stabbing happened. Think it happened in Oakland. Could be totally wrong though.

[–]Faint94 2 points3 points ago

suddenly my face hurts...

[–]mrchicano209 0 points1 point ago

Fucking repost.

[–]Blcoks 0 points1 point ago

I havn't seen this yet, and god damn i'm even annoyed it's been posted that many times.

[–]miss_j_bean -1 points0 points ago

Since everyone isn't on the internet at all times, I don't see what the problem is. If you've already seen it, move along and look at something else. If it seems like everything is reposts, maybe that says something about you (like go outside).

I imagine you being at a dinner party and someone starts to tell a joke and you punch the guy in the face and yell "REPOST."

[–]moosemoomintoog 2 points3 points ago

Every emergency worker in that photo is... taking pictures of the guy with a knife in his head.

[–]uranus86 0 points1 point ago

In most circumstances they need to document the injury for ya know, legal reasons, and for the inevitable "HOLY SHIT! LOOK WHAT CAME INTO MY ER TODAY" pics they show their friends later.

[–]miss_j_bean 0 points1 point ago

I like how at least 3 people are taking pictures of him, because camera phones are the best way to document pictures for medical records. :D

[–]SupermanV2 -1 points0 points ago

To be fair, I'd probably be doing the exact same thing.

[–]-Eyedontno- 0 points1 point ago

This is why you shouldn't pick your nose with a knife.

[–]spankthatweasel 0 points1 point ago

God damn it every time I see this photo it makes me angry because regardless of whether or not they could do anything to be helping him immediately it seems so unprofessional to take the picture. I wish it was possible to figure out what hospital's employ's did this just so I could direct my rage.

[–]Whichguy 2 points3 points ago

calm calm its okay

[–]harvard_9A 2 points3 points ago

Taking a picture can actually be helpful. First of all the police, can use it as ecivdence, it would also be good for EMS to have one to keep with a report and to pass on in the Patient Care Report that goes to the ER, and finally the Doctors can use it to send to others doctors around to get second opinions on a treatment plan.

[–]Wirenutt 0 points1 point ago

My assumption is that they; are stabilizing him/have stabilized him, and are now waiting for a variety of surgeons with different specialties to show up, and for an operating room to become available. They're not gonna just yank that knife out if the ER. The tip is probably right up next to his brain.

Anyone know if the dude survived this or if he succumbed to yet another challenge to his ill-conceived tattoo?

[–]jandalofdoom 2 points3 points ago

This is a very good reason not to get tattoos that read as a challenge.

[–]thebigcupodirt 1 point2 points ago

Have a terrifying mutilation? Let me administer 8 megapixels of cell phone camera.

Don't worry, sir. We'll pay for your surgery with all of the sweet, sweet karma.

[–]zLakai77 0 points1 point ago

I used to have the phone!

[–]BadassButterfly 0 points1 point ago

I'm sure it's for evidence but it seems strange that everyone is filming it instead of, you know, getting that fucking knife out of his face.

[–]sisternetty -1 points0 points ago

HOLY CRAP. That is one tough guy!

[–]Lefty07 -1 points0 points ago

ouch, that looks like it's in his sinus's

[–]SaladFengasPapit 1 point2 points ago

Does his head explode if he sneezes?

[–]AdNoctum 1 point2 points ago

"Here just let me write something on your chest. No, don't worry it's medical"

"Man up! If you don't sit still I won't be able to get a karma gold mine picture!"

[–]pblokhout -1 points0 points ago

What kind of idiot tries to kill someone stabbing him in the nose?

[–]GroovenileDelinquent -1 points0 points ago

Is gonna need some sudafed... lots of sudafed

[–]Gypsin 0 points1 point ago

that should have a NSFL label. seriously.

[–]Jadamq 0 points1 point ago

it's funny because he is actually hard to kill.

[–]SupermanV2 0 points1 point ago

a bit of gore

HE HAS A FUCKIN' KNIFE IN HIS FACE!

[–]ThisIsMyRedditLogin 0 points1 point ago

I see he's played knifey-spoony before.

[–]manuel_robot_cleaner 0 points1 point ago

For once a stupid tattoo actually makes sense.
