It's New Yorkers, some language NSFW.

At least the owners have a video record of what happened.

 

lol... hey man... this is good for me. Darwinism... hopefully they will die doing something stupid and that puts more food on my plate...

 

Hope it wasn't parked illegally????????
Makes no difference in my opinion in this case, but you never know.

F'ing retards though!

 

If the tape wsn't made they likely would have just driven away

City workers for the win.............

 

I can't even imagine living in a place where I would have to deal with that snow and parking on the street.

 

Al, I have to disagree.

Dumb would have been the scenario starting as it did and hitting the Explorer in the first place. Dumb is forgivable.

What they did was not dumb, nor is it forgivable. That is a clear case of the modern human condition... dont give a flying f*ck about your actions and their consequences as long as you don't have to pay for them directly.

I'm not big on the whole I'll sue you craze that has swept our society. But obviously the vehicle should be repaired/replaced as necessary.

Most importantly IMO, criminal charges should be brought up. An accident is an accident. But continuing to destroy property simply because it is convenient and you're too lazy to consider other options is NO accident. I mean this wasnt an ambulance carrying someone one critical condition was it?

People like this need to be castrated to prevent passing on their genes

 

This is a total lack of respect for others. This is a learned trait, not inherited. This could be corrected if it weren't for the workers being protected in their jobs. They, both the tow truck and the loader operator, should be fired. But, they won't be.

 

wow is all I can say. sure would be nice to know what happens to these idiots.

 

I have no words... just utter amazement

 

I dunno about that. This even made the news here in Canada!!!

 

Well said. And those workers should be fired. The lady in the background made me laugh though. "Nobody leaves here until I get a police officer here."

 

two more guys filing for unemployment...

 

Im sure they have insurance for that kind of thing.

 

Agreed. There is no difference between that and someone taking a baseball bat to a random strangers car.... What a couple ******* morons.

 

Here is what will happen:

Both operators will get a short, paid suspension
City insurance will pay out about 1/2 of the claim value
The owners will have to sue to get the rest

The city will claim it was a "snow emergency", btw.

EDIT - It is a city-owned truck, so, NM. The taxpayers will front the whole thing.

 

You forgot about the extra $1 million in punitive damages that the owner is going to sue for ha

 

Check my edit (which you quoted).

 

You are of course correct, but who engrains personality traits on children the most? Typically parents Now an adult has every ability to consciously be his/her own person. But our society that caters to these kinds of mentalities sure wouldn't promote a willing change in personality like that.

yep
and yep, with the above quote still in play

 

I saw your edit. I'm not just saying that the vehicle will have to be payed for by the taxpayers. I'm saying that the owner is going to claim emotional distress and sue for an additional million dollars of punitive damages

 

The "owner" is the City of New York!
You think the city is gonna sue itself for "emotional distress"?



















Actually, in light of the current cultural climate, that might actually be possible.

 

I like when the front loader driver gets out to look at the damage on the tractor. Pure Douche Baggery!

 

I think everyone is forgetting the vehicle in front of the SUV. That was a victim as well, or was that vehicle city-owned as well?

 

That truck is a 1995 Ford SUV, City owned.

but the Toyota in front of its privately owned, BUT both of them are "used" by the same city worker.

Bloomberg said oh if you suffer property damage just file a claim against the city ... what a f-ing douche.

 

Let me rephrase... The driver of the car is going to be suing for punitive damages... Whoever had the keys to that car in their pocket when that happened is seeing potential dollar signs right now and is going to do everything in their power to get them haha... They will say "It was so traumatic seeing what happened to the car that I was in possession of. That was the car that I drove and was responsible for and I was extremely distraught when I saw it destroyed." Then their lawyer will tell them to go talk about it with a therapist so that he can say "my client had to seek professional help for the emotional distress that this incident caused."

When something like that happens, anyone directly connected gets really greedy and does anything they can to make a lot of money haha.

 

The second vehicle that hit actually has to file a claim against the first vehicle. Since the car was rear ended by the SUV its the SUV that has pay for the damage to the car. If that other car WAS the owner of the SUVs then there is no coverage for the second vehicle. You can't hit your own vehicle and file a claim. So if he owned both cars hes fucked. If he owned just the SUV he is responsible for the damage to the car.
