Ok but the driver ain't getting charged for that shit right? Sounds like self defense but the "racist slurs" part has me worried bro's gonna get profiled

[–] [email protected] 36 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Poor fucking driver, thought he was stronger, he was supposed to be stronger.

The epitome of being able to dish it out but not take it yourself.

I hate to break it to you brother, but that guy was not sent to heaven.

Also, self defence argument holds here. Someone was running his mouth, he also ran his. Someone threw a punch, he returned fire. No escalation. Self defence

it says "sent him to God" no mention of Heaven. God being the energy of the universe that makes up all things in which we return to once our bodies piss off the right FedEx delivery guy (or girl)

We don't know for sure but I certainly HOPE he wasn't sent straight to heaven without going through some serious and difficult reformation of the soul first

Ok, I've heard about those that get punched once and cry, but this is a whole other, video game level shit.

It's more common than you'd think.

It happens if you get hit in the head. The skull isn't actually all that good at protecting the brain after all.

San Francisco just held its annual wild costumed (or naked) race yesterday. Reminded of this story:

I can’t stand fighting or videos thereof. Hitting someone means you’re willing to kill someone. Surely only happens <0.1% of the time. But should be reserved for safety issues (self defense), not genitalia measuring.

Damn that sucks. Pretty sure he didn't want to kill the dude. Big guys need to keep pepper spray on them. Guy I knew threw a retaliatory punch outside a club. Recipient's head hit the curb. Dead as latin. Now that guy's in prison. Not fuckin worth it.

Yeah, a long time ago, when I was working security at a very large hospital, we had a person kicked out of the ER for abusing staff. In the drive way to the ER he started refusing to leave. We radio the local police patrol. Three cops show up. After about 45 minutes of trying to talk him into leaving, he pulled out a knife and lunged. So I punched him in the side of his head, towards the back. He dropped dead. He had an aneurysm and that blow ruptured it, instantly killing him.

Luckily for me, the person he was trying to stab was a cop, so there was no question of criminal charges.

Fuck that's gnarly.

I'm a really big dude and that shit terrifies me. Some people like to target fat folks thinking they're out of shape. And I am very, very out of shape.

But the fact that I can get out of bed and walk up stairs effortlessly means I'm incredibly, incredibly strong. What most people lift when maxing out is what I lift every time I move.

If I throw a punch in anger, I could easily kill.

Calm down bro, being overweight is not turning you into Mike Tyson immediately. You know, an unskilled fist punch to the face of another man can also result in hurting or partly breaking your own hand.

[–] Thcdenton 5 points 6 months ago

Iunno bruh it sounds like he studied the blade :D But fr if he's big enough to knock you down, its the pavement - not the punch that kills you.

I took a latin class in high school, so he's probably deader than that

Unrelated: Why does it say FederalExpress Express on the truck? Is that like LCD display, but double fast, not double display?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I think it's because Federal Express the company has services which includes ground and express. Some trucks are marked FedEx ground so this is to mark that it's the express service truck I guess.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Furthermore, FedEx Express drivers are employed by FedEx. FedEx Ground drivers are all working for a bunch of contractors, similar to how Amazon runs their delivery service.

[–] Cobrachicken 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Thank you (edit: all) for the explanation!

[–] deltapi 3 points 6 months ago

In fact, sometimes the ground drivers are owner/operators.
