The most fucked up part is that the guy who laid down first was actually able to get up before getting smushed! And it was his freakin idea!

petedacook · 2012-09-13T00:05:20+00:00

It was a protest at a woman's health clinic. They were trying to stop people from getting into clinic. They laid down in front of the truck in such a manner that the driver was not able to see them and ran over them.

How NOT to protest.

FTFY. Sorry, really bothering me.

AnElegantPenis · 2012-09-13T01:18:07+00:00

Guys, I realize I fucked up on the title.

I would change it if I could but I can't.

I bet Whitney's miltank is driving judging from the devastating Rollout.

Mack488 · 2012-09-12T13:50:20-07:00

And they all immediately regretted that...

JebronLames23 · 2012-09-12T23:04:03+00:00

I IMMEDIATELY REGRET THIS DECISION

WorksForMe · 2012-09-12T21:14:10+00:00

It's super ineffective!

fairwayks · 2012-09-13T04:32:39+00:00

"Warning: death?" No one died. Hell, no one was evenly seriously injured. Your karma ran over my dogma.

Yet there was a shit storm when that Rachel Corrie broad did this in front of a bulldozer.

They're all stupid.

princesspenny · 2012-09-13T00:41:51+00:00

They deserve it. Don't lay down in front of a moving vehicle and then get mad when you actually get run over.

Yet, if you post something that involves occupy protesters, reddit sings a different tune. This thread, and this site, is sometimes full of hate speech, hypocrisy, and intolerance.

My_Boss_Is_A_Dick · 2012-09-13T04:04:39+00:00

There are times when Reddit disgusts me. I'm agnostic and don't give a shit about moral issues involving abortion, I'm married and too old to really care what you do with your body; but, the blatant disrespect towards Christians is just pathetic.

If this would have been a pro-choice protester all everybody would be up in arms about the evil pro-lifer driving the car., instead it's make fun of the person that was run over day.

One might think that visiting Reddit may offer you a chance to gain insight of other cultures and people who may have a different belief system than you do, it very rarely does that when it comes to the Christian faith.

At least the woman that was run over in this video had enough balls to stand up for what she believed in, I doubt I'd find too many people that visit this web site that would do the same.

soulcaptain · 2012-09-13T01:31:35+00:00

The takeaway is if you are going to throw yourself in front of a vehicle to stop the driver from moving forward, make sure the driver can see you.

skyjello · 2012-09-12T21:57:08+00:00

This kills the protester

joaniesteelie · 2012-09-13T01:50:51+00:00

Well...that was a bit horrifying.

Inspectrum · 2012-09-12T19:03:39-07:00

I dont know, I'm pretty sure they were protesting whilst getting run over.

Imm1n3ntd3th · 2012-09-13T02:14:08+00:00

I was... Not... Fucking... Ready... For that gif....

Weedhopper82 · 2012-09-13T02:14:32+00:00

lol ahh shit I did not expect people to get ran over.

MostlyUselessFacts · 2012-09-13T05:05:27+00:00

Yay /r/justiceporn! People got what they deserved. Fucking idiots for lying down in front of a car.

PNut_Buttr_Panda · 2012-09-13T01:34:20+00:00

FYI people, It is COMPLETELY ILLEGAL in the US to block any kind of public roadway for a protest. If you do this stupid shit the police will shut it down immediately. Emergency vehicles MUST have a clear path, in the event of a fire or medical emergency. PERIOD. DONT LAY IN THE FUCKING STREET ASSHOLES!

Redbullwings · 2012-09-12T13:50:28-07:00

Proper construction of speed bumps

AlexxxG12 · 2012-09-13T01:30:43+00:00

"Why did you run over me?" BECAUSE YOU LAID DOWN IN FRONT OF MY FUCKING VEHICLE.

1millionaccounts · 2012-09-12T16:58:31-07:00

At first: OMG are they okay?

After I find out what they were doing: Wow what a bunch of morons.

adamantiumrage · 2012-09-12T21:36:03+00:00

Anyone know what the protest was about?

Sonris · 2012-09-13T00:21:10+00:00

I dunno, hard to rally any kind of pity for them. I'd expect to get run over if I did that to a driver.

gopackgo2211 · 2012-09-13T01:41:31+00:00

If you lay down in front of a moving vehicle you're going to have a bad time

VeryWrongImpression · 2012-09-13T02:36:04+00:00

Protip: Throwing yourself in front of vehicles to protest only works if the driver can see you.

Otherwise, you're just a glorified speed bump.

SaintSnuggles · 2012-09-12T22:53:53+00:00

All I could think was "Well that's what they fucking get for laying in front of a fucking car!"

Ontopourmama · 2012-09-12T21:48:50+00:00

HOLY FUCK! Give a guy a warning! That's brutal!

mememellie · 2012-09-13T03:08:36+00:00

That's fucked up.

And it's fucked up that many of the comments are glorifying that people were run over and hurt. They have opposing views than you, and what? Everyone should be able to tolerate someone voicing their opinion, even if it is not something you'd agree to. And it is not funny or good that someone is hurt in the process of exercising themselves.

I wonder what the comments would be had the protesters were protesting something you believe in.

Doktor_Rob · 2012-09-13T01:10:49+00:00

I'm game. We'll see who rusts first.

Tri-Beam · 2012-09-13T01:38:14+00:00

If the protesters died, it would be considered a suicide. Most likely become candidates for a Darwin Award, they are really that stupid. The driver could not see the protesters lie in front of his truck, especially that woman WHO FREAKING LAID DOWN NEXT TO THE MOVING TIRE.

keno1964 · 2012-09-13T01:38:53+00:00

I haven't been able to read through all of the comments, so if this was asked/discussed already I apologize for rehashing it, but...

I wonder if it's possible for those idiots to sue the driver? I mean, they did willingly lay down on a surface designated for motor vehicle traffic, knowing a vehicle was approaching and all....

And shouldn't this action be designated as 'attempted suicide'? (Unless they're actually killed, then good old fashioned suicide...) That's what they call it when people lay down on train tracks, knowing a train is coming.

The_Auryn · 2012-09-13T01:55:18+00:00

This is exactly what happens when people protest, even when the truck isn't tangible.

lickwidforse · 2012-09-13T02:00:51+00:00

If you are gonna lie down in front of a car or truck you better be ready to suffer the consequences.

GFYSAD · 2012-09-13T02:05:31+00:00

ITT: Reddit is disgusting.

CamCamJenkins · 2012-09-13T02:07:41+00:00

Natural selection is just a theory right? lol

Lacuta · 2012-09-13T02:08:30+00:00

No, this is how you SHOULD NOT protest

CoyoteStark · 2012-09-13T02:10:00+00:00

If you lay in front of a 2 ton vehicle, you need to be prepared for the consequences.

rileyhimself · 2012-09-13T02:10:28+00:00

Occupy the bottom of the tire. Success!

Uluvmylean · 2012-09-13T02:27:17+00:00

Do they really think a man in a truck trying to get an abortion for a baby he probably accidentally created is going to stop for a bunch of protestors?

BlitzN9ne · 2012-09-13T02:30:27+00:00

If you're gonna lay in front of a bus, you're not very pro life.

wesleyt89 · 2012-09-13T02:33:27+00:00

What were they protesting? I feel stupid for asking but I have no clue.

funkymoose · 2012-09-13T02:38:15+00:00

You know, as bad as the protesters are, how do you not see three people walk up in front of your truck and lay down seconds before you start moving forward? It was an obviously crowded area and you're just going to start driving forward without looking forward seconds before?

seth11111 · 2012-09-13T02:45:41+00:00

Uuh what do you expect to happen when you lay down in front of a moving vehicle, fuckin idiots.

colinmurphy00 · 2012-09-13T02:45:53+00:00

And Americans bitch if their cuffs are too tight.

JustBrowsing4Chan · 2012-09-13T02:56:53+00:00

Is it bad that this is the funniest thing I've seen all day?

It's like they tried to be tank man but the driver just didn't give a shit so they were like "oh shit oh shit oh shit!"

The_Caring_Banker · 2012-09-13T03:06:15+00:00

You really wanna know how NOT to protest?

This is probable gonna get buried but well...

Yesterday was 11/09 in Santiago, Chile. The first thing that might come to mind for you is of course the terrorist attacks in NY, but here its a whole different story.

For a reason I will not explain in this post (too long) this date is reserved for "protests" for "human rights" and whatnots, but mainly its just commies breaking stuff just because they want to.

So every year is the same, they "protest" by trashing people cars, breaking traffic signs and looting supermarkets. This year one 28 year old cop was guarding a supermarket when a 17 year old scumbag kid hiding behind a tree shot the cop 3 times for absolutely no reason (other than it was 11/09). He died on the spot. The kid even stole his helmet and shield, and later started bragging about it with his friends (the whole thing on camera). Yeah, they are THAT retarded.

I heard today in the news that the police caught him and they are gonna prosecute him this week. Since he is a minor he will probably be out by the end of this month.

So yeah, protests.

EDIT: spelling.

JZ129802 · 2012-09-13T03:31:08+00:00

Is it bad that I fantasize about rubbing over high school kids who will stand in the middle of the street, and when politely asked to move, flip you off?

Captain_Aizen · 2012-09-13T04:08:51+00:00

I remember that, but I don't think anyone died in the incident. Also I believe the driver was unaware of the people under his tire because he couldn't see them due to the crowding. In the video footage you can hear one of the guys under the tire scream "HEYYYY, what the hell are you doing!"

derekferguson942 · 2012-09-13T04:46:52+00:00

Can't tag this as death. No one died. They say so in the actual video.

essentialgenitals · 2012-09-13T06:17:59+00:00

Why were they surprised when they got run over? Why did they even get out of the way? It's like lighting yourself on fire in protest and then putting yourself out.

spitfire690 · 2012-09-13T00:20:04+00:00

If only the Westboro Baptist Church would lay in the streets...

lemmysdaddy · 2012-09-13T01:00:00+00:00

Reddit logic:

Christians get run over by police for doing the same shit that libs do every fucking day: Christians are morons.
Libs get pepper sprayed by police for repeatedly failing to comply with orders: OMFG police brutality! It's a police state!
