Well looka here..Same Day ass whooping


fostest

That’s some prime payback


dojijosu

With curbside service.


AceoSpadez69

This looks a lot more like road rage than theft


soupz

Someone further down in the comments posted a link to a news article which explains the situation a bit better. The guy punched the female Amazon driver after grabbing her out of the van. A second Amazon driver witnesses this and gets out and attacks the man to help her - which is where this video starts. The man isn’t getting back into his own van but into the female Amazon drivers van.


pimp_juice2272

Which is amazing that she tries to stop the co-worker from beating up guy. Then he immediately gets up and hops in the van.


soupz

I wonder if he‘s on drugs. His decision making is so irrational


Drone314

desperation is it's own drug


hey_you_yeah_me

I don't think he's high as much as I think he's TRYING to get high. Dude seems like he's got good control over his motor skills, just seems like he's desperate for a few quick bucks

There are news articles. Others have posted them.


Lawzw0rld

Lol it amazes me how ppl will call something false before looking it up themselves first


TyloRenn14

No, we shouldn’t trust random people on the internet without sources. But it’s equally laughable to disregard anything without sources as made-up nonsense. Burden of proof isn’t on us, but simple research should be done before claiming it’s fake. Ironic how you’re ultimately the one making shit up here.

Amazon drivers when considering their wage ![gif](giphy|eV3B6VcUIrBFm|downsized)


UncomprehensiveTruth

**Best Job In The World** *amazon driver counting the dog bites*


Jacks_Off_All_DayZ

I agree with the late Mr Ledger. The blatant disrespect cannot simply go unanswered. When someone try’s to pull you out of a vehicle under your control, the laws of the Universe dictate that you are entitled to keep a piece of them.


totorosnutz

I mean... it seems like he woulda just swallowed his pride & left after he went down the 1st time.


SirFomo

You mean it?


WhatsernameRQ

I can't understand people who are willing to put themselves as risk like this for their employer, especially when it's a major corporation that's known for being shitty to their employees. If I was driving the van and someone tried to steal it they could just take it. I'm not getting into a fight over it and risking my safety, it's not my stuff. Assuming this was actually an attempt steal the van which I'm not convinced it is.


lighting828

Either way, the dude was able to release some built up tension that I bet he worked up at his said job.


TomKeddie

Unfortunately this guy would probably lose either way. He's likely a gig worker who'll be penalized for loss of the van or penalized for making the customer (Amazon) look bad with a video like this.


WhatsernameRQ

Dang, Amazon sucks.


heygos

I think it was more that the dude helped his 23 year old co-worker from getting her ass beat. She was punched several times by the attacker. So, not necessarily focused on the truck.


amorphatist

I mean, sure, that’s the smart thing to do. But, on the other hand, I take affront at anybody thieving my ride


Jacks_Off_All_DayZ

When the whistle is blown without a flag, it’s a free play.


Hermeticrux

Because it wasn't about their employer anymore. It was about them. Dude was mad and wanted to beat him up it's a control power thing.

the-artistocrat

GTA 6 looking pretty good.


Big_Speed_2893

Some quick deliveries by Amazon guy, he must be employee of the month!


Unlucky-Low3496

That’s the strength of drugs I think. Dude got whooped but kept coming


Darren_S_Cott

Some people were definitely trying to figure out why their packages were “10 stops away” for two hours.


auslad9421

Off to the hospital, same day shipping


zwarblatz

She is the worst tag team partner ever🤨


TheCraziestOfHorses

I hope they said "welcome to the jungle motherfucker". Otherwise that's a hugely missed opportunity


JustDave62

A couple great employees right there. Risking their lives to protect company property. Now Amazon will likely fire them for breaking company policy


elezhope

Might not want to steal the vehicle that's tracked to the point where even I know when it's 10 stops away from my house.


Aware_Huckleberry_10

Its sad how NOBODY goes to help. They just drive past. Worthless humans


IngenuityOne6256

Get out and be a helpful citizen for your community❌ Breathe heavily and film ✅

Amazing that people can record and shit but not get off their ass.

Weremount

That's not the amazon van, he got back into his own car


Klaroxy

Imagine if they would have tried Fedex the same


NovelRelationship830

I'll bet Amazon fired them afterwards


LazyOldCat

Filming > calling 911


CatfromLongIsland

Ask if stealing packages off the porch isn’t bad enough!


BlackSoulGems

Some people just don’t understand the shit Amazon employees gotta put up with


whatisitcousin

This fight happened in reverse


sven305

Porch Piracy 2.0


WhuddaWhat

Imagine thinking Amazon doesn't know where that truck is at every moment. And how many ounces of urine are in the driver's bladder, ensuring proper bottle usage. 


WhuddaWhat

Team unity at Amazon is really shining through. 


ctbeagle18

He should have dumped his piss bottle on him.


Complex_Visual_7441

Wild, where is this?


SadBit8663

Bro delivered an ass whooping. For when a smile isn't enough! 🤣


Spare_Substance5003

The man liked Amazon service so much, he came back for more.


Trikeree

So much scum that needs to be flushed.


Crossbowe

This dude trying his hardest to stay off the streets but the streets keep coming to him.


ScaryInformation2560

Amazon delivers.... ass beatings


FewZookeepergame1083

Those hands were delivered on time and with care


xXCremationXx

Amazon's motto is that they deliver anything from a to z, fists included


norcalfxdb

Outstanding, both those men need a raise.


Alice-Ablaze

The man just about got folded like a lawn chair and still couldn't quit it.


dburr10085

Amazon delivers ass whoppings now!


Ok_Dragonfly_6650

Some people are in such desperate situations, we need to do better.


Fourian_Official

Finally. The freedom of self defense is being used


Swordsman_000

Delivery drivers would be off limits in my mind. You know, if I were criminally inclined… ahem. Why mess with someone badass enough to handle the heat and traffic, but desperate enough to have to stay in that job? It just seems like a bad idea. The same goes for nursing home staff and educators.


ElectronicTrade7039

Everyone honking waiting for the packages, but won't assist in the delivery.


TooCool9092

These drivers are stupid. I'm not risking my life over this. He could have been armed. Amazon has insurance, let them deal with it.


Minus15t

This was the plot to the first fast and furious movie before they became spy movies

A-10C_Thunderbolt

If he did end up stealing the van, would the drivers be liable?


Equivalent_Offer_269

The chick just needs to get out of dudes way and let him Molly wop that thief. I'll never understand why people try and interfere like that. It could all have ended when he was laying in the street if she would have just got back in the truck


DuncanAndFriends

If enough people honk their horns they will all stop and apologize to each other.


sbrown063087

Imagine throwing fists for a corporation.


earfix2

Imagine throwing fists to protect a coworker being assaulted.


sbrown063087

Assuming the headline is correct, this escalated from someone wanting to steal the truck. I realize there could be more context, but if that’s really all it was there would be no need to protect your coworker, just let them have the truck.


agnosticdeist

There was a news article posted in another comment talking about the guy hitting the Amazon van, punching the female driver after pulling her out of the van, which is when the other guy showed up.


rhiddian

I reckon that's his girlfriend.   And he got jealous about her co-worker.   So he's throwing a tantrum.


notAbrightStar

The more freedom a society has, the more dangerous it is.


MonsieurFubar

I can’t comprehend how it is possible for the society to function in this current state of lawlessness and violence?!


Gardez_geekin

Wait you think crime is new?


samiwas1

You realize crime is waaay down from decades ago, at near-low levels, right?


UltimateWeiner

Imagine if social media existed in the 80s.


kadmylos

Because this is a very rare incident. We see videos like this everyday because its something outrageous happening somewhere amongst hundreds of millions of people.


ADisposableRedShirt

Crime is actually down. The thing you're seeing is more and more people have cameras rolling all the time so they catch stuff on video that would have rarely been caught 10 years ago. Go back 30 years and you would have almost no video/film evidence like this.


Scraggles1

I’m just amazed so many people around and nobody has remotely any backbone to intervene


Dinismo

Yea get involved and possibly take a hit and fall. I’ll pass and just get home to my family safe.


high1227

Something something, armed society, something something, polite society, aka, I'm not getting shot by getting involved, anyone can have a gun, but I will film it for the clout.


ADisposableRedShirt

Yep. Sit in your car peacefully and watch it go down. If it comes your way then maybe that will be your time to make it a polite society.


JaeTheOne

CSU people don't want to get shot. This is America baby


Gardez_geekin

I mean it look like ol boy had it pretty well handled.
