ok.

listen to your dad, jakob!

Yeah man! ( legs are for walking away from "creep-age" like that.)

actually I was kind of waiting to see if it was going to escalate into a real fight!

Woah! Jakob's dad is here too?! How awesome is that?!

i'm sorry but - hehehe i find it so ironic your name is 'mobtown' and you suggest mob violence is bad hehe

Haven't you ever heard of a mob acting sensibly?

Mobtown is where I live. That's all.

i didn't hear nice driving james dean.. thats... pretty incredible

This was amusing. I am glad it didn't get out of hand or else Zach would have fucked those 2 guys up with his kung fu magic.

You're impersonation was awesome.

"I fucking came in my pants when I told that guy to back the fuck up. I could feel my fucking dick throbbing."

You should watch IDIOCRACY... it will bring you right back.

Oh yeah, and i really enjoyed Zach's "no parking" moment

Yeah, you better watch that keepin' warm bull. We don't tolerate that shit around here!

the "no parking" moment is where i thot Zach was about to get pummeled. eek!

me too!! I was praying for him by that point!!

He has a point though, only fags wear grey scarfs.

More like, only fags wear GAY scarfs....yes! See what i did?

i did! i did! i think those guys are the only idiots in the village!

Wow! Thanks for posting that link. I have found a new favorite photo gallery!

Dear German,
They sound nothing like British people.

lol

haha

no... they sound like Brooklyn stereotypes... the kind that embarass anyone from the state

I felt it was more of a Staten Island thing...

you're probably right... after all... I'm in California... I don't really know the NY accents that well

Hey, one of those guys is my dad!!

I thought Carl was your "daddy".

Does "heart" = mindless willingness to swing your fists at anything?

dalas, did you look that up on urban dictionary?

NO dalas it means they are willing to swing their ride into anything!

Yeah, Courtney owned.

People here need to relax. As the proverbial chill Californian that I am it's always been hard for me to understand the intensity of the NYCer.

In 40,000 years there will be no more drunk drivers!

You would hope so, but I expect they've already spawned 14 illegitimate kids by now, to carry on the family tradition.

i must say the "it said no parking" is def. my favorite part too!

We had just finished eating, and came out to find they had crashed into everything on the block. Thinking we were making fun of them (we weren't), they picked up Kat's bike and threw it at Courtney and a group of us.
But we've got more friends AND more heart, and don't put up with that.

ahh i see now...got it.

You should have thrown the bike back at 'em! :)

*applauds*

Girls like you are awesome! I had a girlfriend like you Courtney, who like you, had no patients for a-holes like them. She had your same reactions, only she would start pushing. ... Enter me to pull her out, which inevitably put me in the fight that I didn't start but was going to finish (that part not so awesome). ...Ah yes, good times.

Great analogy trpO!

I agree with your first point. The Brooklyn Boys were definitely out of line, but the Vimeo Set certainly could have avoided all that provocation. And additionally, chest-thumping can take on many different forms. One side was obviously guilty. But in a more subtle way, wasn't the other side also?

No, we weren't guilty at all, because we weren't making fun of their accident. We were making fun of the fact that our friend's bike was destroyed in what seemed like an insane coincidence.

Watch the video closely; we're not making fun of the car or otherwise chest-thumping.

Jakob, sorry to belabor the point, but is there any fundamental difference between making fun of someone's scarf with the intent to belittle and making fun of someone's accent with the same intent? Honestly, wasn't one group acting superior because of their brawn, while the other was doing so because of their brain. Am I misreading that?

i'm not justifying their meathead bullshit but it's tactless to take pictures and laugh near a car accident. the chest-thumping is obvious with the "no parking" and "james dean" jokes and your Geico bit. it's really funny but it's also pride and ego being thrown around.

for what it's worth, I didn't "like" this one because, in all objectivity, I have to agree with Scott and Erick. While I admire your numerous pleas to leave the scene, I was disappointed in the accent-mimicking. Tempting as it is to do, it just perpetuates negativity and misunderstanding. I dunno, maybe I need to lighten up...

I guess I was thinking of "chest-thumping" as "starting a fight", which we weren't doing. I thought our group's behavior was reasonable considering they attacked us, but we certainly weren't 100% right and they weren't 100% (who ever is?). I guess the right thing to do would have been to walk away after the guy threw the bike?

I made fun of their accents because they had funny voices and we were in a fight with them, not because I have a superior brain. If they'd been stuffy professors I would have been saying, "Ah, yes, is this Geico? It appears I've had an automobile collision, etc". The accent mimicking was my way of fighting them, since I wasn't going to throw a punch.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to these analysts uploading their own high-pressure incident footage the next time one occurs!

i agree with scott, erick, and mrs. jakesmom. if i had just got in a car accident and a group of kids was standing at the scene laughing loudly (for one reason or another), i wouldn't be happy and rational either. the best thing to do would have been to walk away and not get involved.

hey, it's four of us against you jake. you think you got more heart, wiseguy? why dont you getta fuck outta here wich yo video site ya schmuck? ;)

Ricky, we already *were* involved because they crashed into our friend's bike. We didn't make a choice to get involved.

A bigger point is that even if we were annoying them, and even if you can relate to being angry after a car crash, that doesn't justify their violence. You should still do the right thing even if you aren't happy about a bunch of kids laughing.

Is our friend excused from acting rationally since her bike was destroyed?

it was an accident. and everyones laughing and touching someone else's car. making light of an accident. and you guys could have just picked up your bike and talked to the driver, you could have worked it out but you guys just took pics and laughed.

lol

I think the protocol is the same in Santa Cruz.

here we would calmly wait in the car a moment or two, get out - exchange details, and if not serious, laugh about the predicament and go on your way happy you're alive even if your car is slightly dinged

They hit the pole that the bike was chained to knocking the pole out of the ground. They may have hit other things before hitting the pole as well.

haha....craziness

They hit a taxi, too, before hitting the pole.

What if someone had been on the sidewalk? They could have been killed pretty easily. If the driver actually was drunk (I couldn't tell) I hope he got busted for it.

word...

Williamsburg

P.S. I feel sorry for anyone that has an incident like this in front of people that own a video site....

That was really priceless!
