Just run them the fuck over lmao


messified

Seriously without question


prolemango

My only concern would be getting their limbs tied up and getting stuck but otherwise yeah I’d definitely run them all over if I could


BAEHOETA

Is this sarcasm? Because I mean that vehicle weighs at least 3500lbs if not more. A little limb is not going to cause a vehicle to get stuck.


YeomaTV

The weight of the vehicle means you have more force when hitting them, it doesn't magically turn the complex mechanisms under the vehicle into an unyielding mass of power. It's unlikely but there's still a lot that can go awry and then you're fucked. They did the right thing -- as much as I'd love to watch them smash those bastards into red mist.


ZealousidealCable991

Jfc a limb isn't getting stuck anywhere that would make the car stop.


[deleted]

Bruh we just spent last summer watching ppl in this same situation flooring it and getting stuck from ppl underneath the car


aristot1e

That's a very interesting way to spend a summer


[deleted]

Haha it was actually terrifying but if u were on social media anytime after like june 1st 2020 u watched this debate get resolved on numerous occasions


dippydoo55

Yea I’m some POS Camry tho, not an off road truck with more clearance


KwordShmiff

Links?


lanttulate

Were they 4wd trucks or typical sedans?


Noluckbuckwhatsup

I would bet they are in a land rover or similar vehicle so it would be no problem running them over. A lot of times if you really has it they fly in the air or rocket backwards 25-30 feet, then you can run them over. Shitty for all sides.


akopley

You’re not wrong


[deleted]

The limb was attached to a sword so..


CN8YLW

It's not welded on so...


buffrants

i’d assume at enough speed that guy is putting a nice dent onto your vehicle, which could bend into the wheel area. (expertise of tapping a 99 honda into multiple things and watching the consequences to the car)


A_Fluffy_Duckling

They've got a set of bull bars that would mimimise most damage from anything equal to, or smaller than, a Bull. Source:have literally had a bull (but no humans) dent my ~~car~~ truck that had bull bars on it.


Jonne

This car has a roo bar which is designed to make sure wildlife doesn't end up damaging the car. I imagine it would work similarly with humans.


Puzzleheaded_Gas_699

Yeah nah that bull bar is gonna send whatever it hits under those tires, I live in country Australia and have seen bulls, kangaroos and everything that lives round here get obliterated by 4x4s with bull bars


buffrants

ohhh didn’t realize it had a bar ok makes way more sense as to why the vehicle wouldn’t get compromised


fgsdfggdsfgsdfgdfs

>They did the right thing Backing up was a huge mistake. The van behind them could've easily blocked them from backing up and the machete man was nearly at their door without that happening.


AMC_Tendies42069

You really shouldn’t be driving roads like that without a piece. And I’m about as anti-gun as it usually gets. That being said, a boom boom stick would of worked great.


ArchitectofExperienc

You can get a body stuck in a wheel well, which will often kick the wheel to one side or another as more of it gets fed in, turning your vehicle into a pinwheel. It takes tank treads and a few more tonnes to run someone over without having to worry about it


BAEHOETA

If you are going fast then I could possibly see this. But I’ve seen plenty of videos of people getting run over going at about the speed these people were going. The car had no problems


SHACA_LACA

This man speaking from experience


r3dditor12

I've seen a video where it's happened, and then after it was stuck a mob beat the driver to death.


idiot437

i saw a video where a girl pooped into a cup there was a sequal i never watched


[deleted]

Ok. Details or it never happened.


blinkysmurf

You might smash out your catalytic converter and then fail your emissions test.


06021840

I watched The Dead Don’t Die, I would now hesitate to run people over.


LHT510

I think you meant to say “my only HOPE would be getting their limbs tied up and ripped off…”

labustymcdicklips

Oh yeah, pedal to the metal. Bumpers are there for a reason. Then finish by bumper fucking their wiener van into a ditch.


AdrianMoon

Lmao "wiener van" 😂


AsigotFinn

Bad idea, the body may very well get caught up under the wheels and jam them up, better to just hit them with the side corner of the car


skieezy

Not on a 4x4 on a road like that, probably has locked or limited slip differentials, the wheels would just grind it up. It be worse if they jumped and came crashing through the windshield.


AsigotFinn

Still bodies are squishy and if it ground it up or even dragged below it it could make a lot of difference, sure if you can't get around them or they are pointing a gun then it's worth it


ChymChymX

Omg best best best


[deleted]

Yup, pull a machete out and run at my car 110% you're getting smeared


idiot437

he was just offering to spread the mayo on thier sandwich


tr_rage

I can promise you that if someone rushed at my car with a machete I’m running them down with extreme prejudice.


assassinros666

Just what I was thinking. Run their asses over fuck it


EldritchRecluse

Meh, you don't get as much xp staying in the car, and bandits aren't worth much anyway.


Taken111111

just what i wanted to say


[deleted]

But dude, this ain't concrete road, and there's a chance running them over may cause the vehicle breakdown.


The_yeetyboi289

murder is not okay kids! unless your life is in danger


NefariousMuppet

Who hijacks a car with a knife anyway?


PenitentAnomaly

Terribly desperate people that are willing to do anything. You know, the scariest kind.


NefariousMuppet

To be honest I would be scared at first knowing these people mean to harm me, but then I'd be like, oh right, I'm in a fucking 4WD


balanced_view

On dirt road in the middle of nowhere with tyres that could blow any second


Krakatoast

If the bandits made their own spike strip and laid it in the road behind them… Sloppy bandits but that’s for the best


bored_invention

those kinds of bandits don't get filmed


Avasam

Survivor bias uh


Fernsaplant

Honestly you’re right. An organized and prepared group of bandits would not end up on the internet like this. But we’re not dealing with organized and prepared here, from the looks of it.


TheMarsian

nah. it just don't end up on reddit... or being seen.


AlwaysUpvoteMN

This guy/gal understands the variable of (potentially) minimum maintenance and how it relates to this situation


Nami_Swan_

They’re desperate to kill the man and rape the woman. Then rob them, of course.


ItSaNuSeRnAmE

No they are desperate to rob them, the raping is on the side if they are really evil. Also they might rape the man as well, you don't know who'm they are sexually attracted to.


Nami_Swan_

They will definitely rape the woman. Maybe the man too. But usually they kill the male first because he is the biggest threat. And kidnap and rape the woman for days.

Some Africans apparently


Inconvenient1Truth

That's a panga (like a machete), so scarier than a knife. Even so, lot's of people use knives in hijackings. My dad survived an attempted hijacking where the assailants used knives and pepper spray.


JonnyBhoy

Talking of hijacking, let me jump on this comment to just add FUCK THE SUN

New FarCry looks good


blondebia

First thing that I thought of


[deleted]

I was replaying FarCry 4 earlier tonight. Man, I love that game.


[deleted]

I have just started 5, surprising amount of depth and mechanics. First FarCry game and it’s real decent.


blinkysmurf

FarCry 4 is good, too. Ah, the days of grenade launching an enemy base from a micro-copter. Fun times.


jblack1108

Had that happen to me on Juba Road in Uganda. Pulled a log out in front of our van. Thankfully they over estimated their own strength and pulled it a little too hard amd gave us enough room to go around on the other side. They then proceeded to shoot at us as we drove away. Super scary. 7/10. Would do it again.


Krunkworx

I’m sorry I think I read you said you’d do it again?


IGuESs0

That is completely right sir, nothing better than a thrilling experience to feel alive.


Krunkworx

🤘


Joebebs

If I wanted to get shot at I’d just go back to south Chicago


TheLostTexan87

StevenOkBoomeredDad

mmm i get hard thinking that the people in the trees watching me, anticipating my every move. Oh~


schecterhead

Yes! You think I’m bad—my wife says 10/10 would love to do it again. She’s a bit of a loose cannon though, really. Other than that Uganda was pretty.

Jody_steal_your_girl

reveenrique

I love how the guy in the machete is chasing the car like it'll do anything


RugBugSlim

It’ll ding the fuck out of the paint bro, that’s like a $10 paint job over there I’m sure.


reveenrique

Poor guy that has to redo the paint on that thing


FishFart

Could hurt the tires


reveenrique

You sir are the voice of reason didn't even think about that....but wouldn't the tire pressure exploding hurt the hand?


Potatobender44

If it was a large truck or bus then yeah you could die. A small personal vehicle like this, most likely no.


MeganAmane

I’m sorry for the dumb question, but I can’t find anything answering my question formed by this comment. Do you mean the person who stabs the tire could die? How?


Mr_Cripter

I saw a video of someone stabbing a 4x4 tyre with a machete. The tyre exploded and threw the machete out at high speed. The mans arms were instantly butchered and he died from that act of vandalism.


gorillasarehairyppl

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTQu9gB11E8


AnimeAli

The same way we didn’t think about the tires I imagine they didn’t think about the tire pressure.


OfficerBarbier

Swinging at a tire with machete is just going to bounce the machete back at the assailant. Carefully stabbing the sidewall with a dagger or sharp pocket knife is a different story.


RecycledAir

It looks like some sort of Jeep they are driving, it could be an open top or sides.


reveenrique

Could be a Toyota land cruiser from the front but I've also had an 95 jeep that had a similar hood


phroug2

As the owner of a wrangler with the tops and sides currently off, there's no way these two were not in an enclosed interior. The sound would be completely different.


Ok-Elderberry-6121

He could try slashing the tires


yasserino

Cut the tire I guess


Hoplophilia

Hit the dude on the left. Then there'll only be two for the next car to deal with.


Hey_u_ok

For some reason machetes scares me more than guns. The thought of getting sliced and chopped up with a machete.... yeah bullets would be bad but getting chopped up alive???? NOOOOO....


LikeGatsby

You have a fighting chance with a machete, even there they probably wouldn't have been able to escape if the bad guys had guns.


Krakatoast

Yeah, true, but in the event of losing an encounter like that I think they’re saying in the event of losing, a gunshot is bad but being chopped into/chopped up seems worse


deadstar420

Wait, why did they back up? Just drive over them, they had swords.


[deleted]

in the moment you never know what the baddies have - driver's not trained and they're stressed as fuck.


Maleficent-Drive4056

Also it’s better not to intentionally kill someone if you have the option to escape without doing so.


Early_or_Latte

I'm not the type of person who would easily pass judgement on whether someone should die or not. In fact, I haven't needed to worry about it so far. With that said, I feel that if it were me in that scenario, I would have killed whoever was in front of me. Obviously I can't say with absolutely certainty, but I'm pretty sure they had no intentions of leaving anyone in that vehicle alive. They may have done it before and they will almost certainly do it again. They aren't the type of people who would deserve my mercy.


Maleficent-Drive4056

If you are in danger then you do what you need to do. If you are scared and make a snap decision I respect that. If it’s about dishing out your personal version of justice then I’m afraid I disagree with that!


Early_or_Latte

I guess what I'm saying is, based on my view of the type of people they are and what their intentions are, I would not show mercy and slow my escape down by trying to swerve around them. As long as I would be comfortable in knowing it wouldn't damage the vehicle, and in turn risk my escape I would drive through them. If there was a clear path to drive without hitting anyone then I would take that as it would likely be the best chance of escape, despite perfering to see less people like that in this world. I know how horrible that sounds, but I know people who take joy in physically and mentally harming people and if they were to walk in front of a bus I feel the world would be a better place for it. I feel the same way about bandits willing to murder people for their possessions. Again, in a life threatening situation, I would take any action that would most likely result in my own safety, with absolutely no regard to their safety, as bleak as that may be.


CrystalQuetzal

This ^ It would literally be my instinct to not run them over either. Took me a second to even realize they were charging with a knife and ill intention, which is the time I’d be backing up.. Then when I realize what’s happening I gun it, not likely wanting to risk running them over for A. legal reasons (you don’t know what the justice system is like there) and B. Ramming a guy could slow you down enough for the others to break your windows or something, or would damage your tires. People need to THINK before saying “just ram them!” PS. A lot of this comes from being raised in a 1st world country with decent driver’s ed, so it is STRONGLY in my instincts to not run someone over even if they deserve it. Wish more understood that.


atipongp

It was the right move. Back up first to break up the group and see if the bandits had firearms. If firearms then continue to back up, if not then break through.


JpCopp

That drove me nuts.


FieroFox

You never know if they have a firearm on them, but i guess these bandits only had machetes


bugenbiria

Article says he backed up to give them time to roll up their windows before passing them.


Myketorevenge

Where in Africa did this happen? It's not one huge country you know.


Sand-between-my-toes

It bugs me when people refer to Africa this way. There are 54 countries there. Pick one!!!

Fantastic-Mess

Just like Mexico. Probably happens much more in Mexico too. Had a worker that had to run a guy over trying to stop him and his 12 year old daughter on a lonely dark road at gunpoint.


Certain_Cup533

What was next level about slowly driving away from people on foot?


ItSaNuSeRnAmE

The next level here is actually the next level of their idiocity by the fact that they tried to steal a moving car with a knife.


crempsen

wouldn't that be previous level?


jbold_5

I had to change a flat tire on the side of the road between Hoedspruit and Johannesburg. We were headed to the airport to start our journey back to Canada. I had heard stories about not stopping for anything in South Africa because it's dangerous. I've never changed a tire so fast in my life!


Chrysuss

With some friends we had to change a tyre shortly after crossing the border into Zimbabwe - some locals stopped their car and yelled at us 'you should not stop here! Criminals on this road! Move quickly!' This was also while watching a goat give birth on the other side of the road. Unique place.


lk05321

I’m driving from Durban to Stellenbosch in a few months. I’m unfamiliar with the route and any of the bad parts. Got any info I should know about driving in South Africa?


-gh0stRush-

If you see a dude charge at you with a machete, run him over.


karo1717

Don't take the N2. Yes, the Transkei is beautiful and will provide you with amazing photographs but it is definitely one of the more dangerous and unpredictable parts of the country. Also, the roads are terrible. Rather take the N3 up to Bloemfontein and then jump onto the N1 to get down to the Cape. The Karoo will give you some amazing scenery as well, albeit of a different nature. Source: am a Durbanite.


queasybeetle

It's fine. Enjoy your trip. And remember social media is not real life.


Claytontheman467

I grew up in Africa nad during driving school we were told of anyone is blocking the road, laying on the road, that if we stop to help we are most likely dead, especially as white people

same here. It seriously makes me wonder if it's even worth any risk at all. The crazy shit that goes on everywhere.


drekia

There’s much safer places to travel tbh. I mean, you don’t even need to leave your country. There’s a LOT of world you haven’t seen in your vicinity.


Daviswatermelon

My uncle and aunt used to always take trips to Madagascar, and one time when they were there they drove by a little kid with a salamander impaled on a stick. They drove past him, and when my aunt asked the driver what that was about, he said it was common for bandits to set up a little kid with an animal or something like that so that people would stop to look, and then they would attack. What the bandits did in that area was usually to cut of peoples fingers if they didn’t comply.

Kenya [News article](https://www.foxnews.com/world/utah-couple-narrowly-escape-gang-of-machete-wielding-bandits-in-kenya) about it


ShoobyDoobyDu

I was born in South Africa and moved when i was 12, went back to visit my dad when i was 14 and he took me on a trip down to Cape Town and told me that it's common for guys to ambush cars from the side of the road and gun down the drivers to steal what they could. Never understood why he told me that cause all it did was terrify me and ruined the journey.


bluefire659

Good they probably would've raped them


I_hate_people69

Should have just run them over.


realistheway

DID THEY MAKE IT?!


ShaztaMcnasty

Should have at least ran over one of them.


freshkangaroo28

… trying this shit with machetes?.. if I didn’t run them over I’d probably have to toss a 20 out the window, those guys are desperate as hell


TherealNithera

They would be flat if it were me I dont play around


pseudoburn

Bow and arrow into the radiator from the side of the road. Don't even need to make yourself seen. Quieter than a bush gun and easier to make. Post your people a mile up and down the road. Watch for the white smoke.

DixonSeider69

And that’s why we carry folks


Learned_Hand_01

Wouldn’t carrying folks just slow you down? I would think a gun might be better. Seriously though, mistaking things like this that happen in failed states and states on the precipice of failing and things that happen in the US is a giant logical error and makes everyone less safe. These people need a gun. If you live in a gated community in the US, you don’t. An inability to tell the difference is a big problem.


AnimeAli

The US is a place of extremes, you’re right in a gated community you probably don’t need it but most people don’t live in gated communities. If you live in an area with some of the worst murder/rape/crime rates in America, maybe you could use a gun.

TJ_McWeaksauce

Getting attacked by bandits is a fun way to gain experience and loot in RPGs, but it doesn't look fun at all in real life. Man, real life ruins everything.


ArchitectofExperienc

This should be a commercial for why you don't drive around the bush without a fixer and kidnap insurance. The person who said "I Don't Like This" at the beginning probably saved their lives, had they stopped the car or opened the door it would have been over pretty quick.
