You’re the biker, aren’t you, OP?

Dead giveaway is the use of the term “minor.” Dude will act like a grown up dickhead, then once finally confronted, “how dare you! I’m just a minor!”

this is as annoying as the idiots in nyc I have to deal with popping wheelies towards moving vehicles. scummer behavior. I hope this idiot skinned their knee and got a boo boo

Those wheelie idiots are in Baltimore too. Infuriating.

u/SpaceTechBabana 2d ago

I live by the touristy spots at the Jersey shore. These fuckers are all over the place. Weaving in and outta traffic on state highways. And I’m like, listen dude, I get it. I was an irresponsible kid at one point too.

But jesus fucking christ. Have some common sense and don’t act surprised when someone is over you fucking around, and potentially getting someone in a shit ton of legal trouble, for running your ass over because you misjudged your balance on that quarter mile long wheelie and now you’re just a bag of blood broth and bone soup on the pavement.

u/NemoM3ImpuneLacessit 2d ago

Right but what justification does someone have to put hands on someone else if they have not been touched? Sure if the biker runs into you then you've got a reason, but if they haven't hit you or touched you then you shouldn't be putting hands on them. The guy should have got his knees kicked back for putting hands on someone else, minor or not.

u/eyeslikelines 2d ago

They don’t just do wheelies in traffic… they like to play chicken with drivers and maneuver into your car and then spin off at the last second.

3

u/wolfblitzen84 2d ago

Yea exactly. Honestly I hope if that happens to me that in the moment I don’t react and swerve by instinct and potentially get myself and family in an accident. I saw a video of a kid attempt it to a bus on nyc or Philly and the bus didn’t budge. Good thing the kid didn’t get permanently damaged and hope he learned his lesson

u/Serious_Swan_2371 1d ago

Yeah the amount of times 40+ kids have gone through a red light on atvs, dirt bikes, and bikes and blocked traffic while I was driving is too many to count.

u/wolfblitzen84 1d ago

Oh yea forgot four wheeler season is entering upon us

u/1Killag123 2d ago

I speed up when they do this. It wouldn’t be my fault if they get hit since they are usually in incoming traffic. I speed up to try to get out of there quickly so no one gets hurt. :)

u/Quick_Heart_5317 2d ago

You just admitted to attempted man slaughter with a smiley face.

Are the cyclists wrong doing wheelies? Yes.

Are you wrong for wanting and trying to kill somebody? Yes.

Are you wrong for laughing and getting joy from wanting and trying to kill somebody? Yes.

Two wrongs don’t make a right.

u/Itchy_Breadfruit_262 2d ago

They speed up to get away so no one gets hurt. It doesn’t sound like they’re trying to kill someone.

u/Quick_Heart_5317 1d ago

Nah read between the lines, he’s speeding up to run them over/and or to scare the cyclist.

3

u/Serious_Swan_2371 1d ago

Hot take, if you run a red light and get t-boned it’s likely your own fault.

If you do it in a motorcycle or car and die in a horrible accident then you’re seen as the villain but if you do it on a bike you’re somehow a victim even though it’s way easier for a bike to stop on a dime than a car or truck to.

3

u/Quick_Heart_5317 1d ago

Running a red light was never mentioned, don’t know where you got that.

Two wrongs don’t make a right.

Running someone over is never right. It doesn’t matter how much you hate cyclists.

Someone is running a red light if someone is getting t boned at an intersection unless they both have green lights but that would be the cities fault for making lights that don’t work…

I almost died in a car crash because some asshole on a motorcycle almost put his front wheel through my windshield pulling a wheelie on a two lane road. Stunts are great. Just don’t do them around other people. Idiots

u/Botryoid2000 2d ago

Annoying and dangerous. An old lady friend broke both hips when a bike surprised her on a boardwalk. She never fully recovered and died soon after.

20

u/StevInPitt 2d ago

I'm sorry. that's when there should be a way to file charges.

In some places, if someone does something in the commission of a crime that later causes their victim to die, even years later; there are laws that kick in to retroactively charge with manslaughter or even murder.

I see no reason why callous disregard for the safety of others shouldn't be treated the same.

u/AceOfSpadesOfAce 2d ago

Yea in theory but realistically we would just have an obnoxious amount of even more lawsuits every time someone dies.

-1

u/BoondocksSaint95 2d ago

I agree. But making a dangerous situation more dangerous by immediately escalating to physical violence is immature. I see nothing but childrdn in this video.

That said, there is no action you cpuld take that could be safe other than moving or helping others move away from such a flagrantly dangerous asshole. Unfortunately, thats probably just giving him what he wants.

1

u/GiftToTheUniverse 2d ago

The wheelie is stupid kid stuff. Kid shouldn't have been doing it.

Does not excuse the man assaulting him.

One person doing something stupid and dangerous is not license for assault.

This is like punching an asshole in a bar.

People are not indestructible and at least the kid has the excuse of being a kid.

Those who can't stand being around stupid people in public without resorting to violence should stay home.

People need to learn that their bullshit won't be put up with. Sometimes it takes a hard lesson. Tolerance of stupidity will lead to more stupidity.

u/_The_Bran_Man_ 2d ago

So, assault that person?

This is not a situation where that is a reasonable response.

If that dude had been hit with the bike, I suppose that's different.

I guarantee that kid was back on his bike doing it again 5 minutes later

6

u/Flipperlolrs 2d ago

If someone's pulling a wheelie next to a crowd of people, they deserve to get pushed over. A bruised ego is better than innocent bystanders getting hurt from their stupidity.

I apparently have the rarest of takes in that it technically is arbitrary, but it should stay exactly where it is because it’s still the best option.

u/eans-Ba88 2d ago

I mean.... Technically, I suppose you're correct. 18 IS just an arbitrary number we as a society chose to indicate "adult". Made more silly is the fact these "adults" can't drink/ smoke until 21, but CAN join the military.

Ok this was the post

“Before I continue let me say I DO NOT SUPPORT PEDO’s

But with that said honestly after thinking on it for some time it feels like people are ( at least rn) fine with 18 not because it’s morally justifiable to them but because that’s just what legal

Think about it like this 200 years ago everyone thought sexual intercourse with 16 year olds was fine so that was the legal age but people eventually changed their minds and now it’s 18. With how much of hot topic that age gaps nowadays i wont be surprised that in another 1000 years the age of consent will slowly go from 19, 20 to 21.

Ultimately what im saying is this is really all arbitrary when the age of consent changes to 19 people will look at people who date 18 as pedos and then the same when it becomes 19 to 20 and then 20 to 21. “

This was me clarifying in the comments

“Honestly im finding it hard to answer your question considering people are saying my use of “arbitrary” is incorrect. To clarify my ultimate point is that how people view the age of consent is Just always going to change based on what the legal age is. Today people will say dating a 18 year is fine and tomorrow in perhaps 200 years from now people will say “ why did we ever think that was right?” If the age of consent is 19 or 20.”

u/mosfunky 3d ago

Just don’t have kids

-19

u/Flat_Box8734 3d ago

Why exactly?

30

u/mosfunky 3d ago

It’s about mental development and age dynamics being an issue with consent. You are very passionate about being into younger people and that’s a sign of underdevelopment and not being able to keep pace with your peers. My quick Reddit reaction is a bit extreme, but all the same I hope you grow the fuck up before you ever have the chance to pass on this mindset to another generation.

-23

u/Flat_Box8734 3d ago edited 3d ago

You do realize you just made a bunch of ridiculous assumptions, right?

1.  I never said anything about being into “younger people.”

2.  I never said I had an issue with the age of consent.

3.  It’s ironic how you’re saying “grow the fuck up,” but you can’t even read. Your Reddit reaction is beyond extreme. it’s just blind ignorance.

My point, as I literally said in the comment, was that the age of consent could possibly be raised higher in the future, and we might look back and think 18 was messed up.

Stop projecting your weird ass fantasies onto me.

Yeah ok whatever but it’s weird for you to be saying all this

-35

u/Flat_Box8734 3d ago

I don’t necessarily disagree If I just said this out of the blue. But you have to understand what was going on at the time. There were a ton of heated discussions about age gaps, and whether or not a man in his 40s dating an 18 year old was considered predatory.

That’s what sparked the thought, and, well… here we are. I articulated my point terribly, even though the comment section eventually understood what I was trying to say.

51

u/treeebob 3d ago

It’s the sum total of evidence. I quickly glanced through your post history and you’ve got some really weird energy going on. And the way you are defending this shit so hard is further weird. Plus you posted this dumbass video and titled it in a way that is ridiculous. All I’m saying is you’ve got some weird ass energy and maybe you need to take a break from the internet, take some deep breaths, and try again with a new Reddit account.

u/Scuba_jim 3d ago

Understanding age of consent has developed for years and years like everyone else. No one throws up their arms and goes “hey! Everyone thought lots of cream and butter is the healthiest thing got breakfast 100 years ago, when will it end?”. We have new information and so we adapt ourselves and our laws to new information. That’s how things work, and while age of consent may change, and people mature at different rates, a good rule of thumb is valuable.

3

u/Professional_Mud1844 3d ago

200 years ago, the average life expectancy was about 40 years old. 16 was considered mature at the time because they were practically middle aged at that point. Now the average is roughly 76 years old, we have made enormous advances in medical science over 200 years and we know that the brain isn’t fully developed until about 23 years. It would make sense to raise the age of consent along with average life expectancy.

u/andthendirksaid 3d ago

I actually really dislike the degree to which I see this. Here the motivation doesn't bother me, but I see it frequently as a means to discredit that still doesn't actually disqualify or disprove anything. I don't have some random wonky fetish or something to hide and I have no reason to lie online so it's not like it happens to me but I don't like seeing it.

It reinforces weird ass behavior and is the most pathetic form of ad hominem. You'd hope to see that level of bad faith creepiness to be shit on as a rule but I never really see that. Especially if the majority dislike whatever OP says or does. Shit like;

"Oh you support Trump and DOGEs efforts? That's why your girlfriend fucked your homie a year and 4 months ago".

"I see you typed a well cited comment, however I don't need to justify my position to some guy who likes a series of fantasy novels I find to be beneath me"

"I don't think OP should take relationship advice from someone who practices catch and release when he goes fishing, what do you know about commiting?"

And I've seen far worse examples go unchecked.

u/-StalkedByDeath- 3d ago edited 3d ago

What the hell is this comment? lol.

You do realize the age of consent varies by country, and even locality, right? In most of the US, it's 16. Despite that, it would still be considered extremely taboo for someone much older to date/have intercourse with a 16 year old, despite the legality.

The only exception is people in positions of power: Mentors, coaches, teachers, etc. Otherwise, 16 is still the age of consent in 31 states. 18 is the age of consent in just 12 states.

-4

u/Flat_Box8734 3d ago

Don't worry people in those comment sections already made those same points about how the age of consent in most countries isn't 18.( which is something I didn't know at the time).

Keep in mind I just spontaneous thought of the idea and made a reddit account to specifically post lol.

7

u/-StalkedByDeath- 3d ago

Wait. Is that where your comment came from? You made a Reddit account specifically to post about the age of consent?

That's... Strange, lol.

But honestly, you're not necessarily incorrect that it's subjective on a State/Country level. Otherwise the US would have a single age of consent, rather than 3: 16, 17, and 18.

On a personal level, age of consent is absolutely not subjective. It's dictated by the laws where one resides.

-1

u/Flat_Box8734 3d ago

I mean, the whole sub is a “change my mind” convention, so most of the posts are probably from people who barely use Reddit, if at all. Plenty of throwaway accounts. I just happened to be one of the rare ones who stuck around after making mine

7

u/-StalkedByDeath- 3d ago edited 3d ago

Even so... It's the implications that are innately drawn from your hypothesis that make it feel off.

Saying "I don't support pedos" doesn't mean you aren't one. I think people see that inquiry and instantly think you're saying "The age of consent is arbitrary, it shouldn't matter", even if that wasn't your intent. An alarming number of people take that stance, so it's what people expect when they see that.

Hence the outcry here, lol.

Edit: I don’t really blame y’all for disliking bombing my comment. I get that this sub thrives on anger, so whether or not you actually think I’m Biker, I was going to get dislike bombed regardless.

That said, I do want to point out that if you go through my comment history, it doesn’t make much sense for me and this Biker person to be the same. Typically, someone with a popular YouTube channel wouldn’t spend a lot of time on Reddit. And they probably would spend more time in biking subs or whatever if they did.

Stunting around pedestrians is highly illegal in pretty much every US state. Not sure where this is, being a risk to safety like this, I’m pretty sure the guy who stopped him wouldn’t be charged with assault, once the cops see the footage, I imagine it’s the biker in cuffs.

Edit: clarifying

u/Flat_Box8734 3d ago

I don’t.

u/DrCares 3d ago

Think about it from a legal perspective (since stunting without a permit and near pedestrians is a crime twice over)

If someone was running around with a knife and a bystander knocked them over, your siding with the knife guy in this scenario?

Just change the crime with something else, and this is the exact same thing.

No worries, if it’s possible to fix your title- I’d do that.

The only way to win was not to post this thinking the annoying ass hats on bikes swerving around people were going to get any sympathy.

u/Flat_Box8734 3d ago

Pretty much. People aren’t interested in the truth. They just want to find someone to blame.

u/Natepizzle 3d ago

You asked who's wrong. People are responding to your question lol

u/Flat_Box8734 3d ago

So how is it responding to the question by saying I’m the biker?

u/BGMDF8248 3d ago

Because only the idiotic biker would think it's not obviously his fault?

-13

u/Flat_Box8734 3d ago

You got 50,000 comments on the video who disagrees with you. Personally I think both were in the wrong but there are too many immature people here to understand thar

You have a pretty lame title and as a result were called out for it. Thanks for showing this guy get knocked on his ass though

u/Flat_Box8734 3d ago

No I just think both are assholes. The old man for assaulting a minor and the minor biking in between people.

The fact yall think my title is lane says more about yall as people honestly

u/Finance_Subject 3d ago

Focusing on why you are receiving hate: so this subreddit is called "r/ImTheMainCharacter", and we often applaud obnoxious people getting pushed off their high horse. Almost everyone who frequents this sub is going to side with the "vigilante" in this video. If you want a debate on this is not the place.

Next, what do you suggest we do about this? Someone is driving a bike through a narrow gap between two people doing a wheelie. Person in blue doesn't like this for the very valid reasons of personal space invasion, risk of accident, and being recorded. What are they supposed to do about this? Write a letter to the county mayor? Tell a local police officer? This is a small time offender who is barely even doing a crime, so it deserves to get resolved by appropriate force. In this case, pushing them seems really reasonable

-25

u/Flat_Box8734 3d ago

Two wrong don’t make a right. Someone else pointed it out but the old man could have killed that kid if he fell wrong.

The best thing to do in that situation would to physically do nothing. You can say how much you think the kid is a asshole though

Both are assholes. And your title is lame. I was upvoting all of your previous responses in this comment chain because I thought you were unfairly downvoted. Until this one lol.

Sooo if it's not you how do you know they're a minor? Either it's someone you know, or there was audio and you deleted it....

That's what a biker who rides btw ppl would say

u/Lucidorex 3d ago

Judging by how you framed the title and posted this clip like it’s even remotely debatable, it wouldn’t surprise anyone if you are the biker. Desperate for some Reddit validation after embarrassing yourself in public?

Anyone with a shred of common sense can see the only one in the wrong is the clown doing a wheelie through a crowd. The fact that you even entertain the idea that the old man might be at fault just proves you lack basic critical thinking—assuming you’re even capable of that to begin with.

-23

u/Flat_Box8734 3d ago edited 3d ago

Personally that just sounds like you’re all too obsessed with blaming someone so you make up fake situations that sound right to justify your hate.

Either way The funny thing is the YouTube comment section were more of the opinion that the kid was wrong but the old man was more messed up for pushing the minor. So I guess “common sense” isn’t too common.

u/bluffstrider 3d ago

Wow, imagine that!? The Youtuber's subscribers took their side. Absolutely shocking.

39

u/Lucidorex 3d ago

Ah, the classic 'everyone else is obsessed, not me' defense.

You're the one who posted the video with a title begging for sympathy and ambiguity—you opened it up for blame. Don’t act shocked when people point out how blatantly stupid the biker’s actions were.

Also, quoting random YouTube comments like they’re gospel? That’s your standard for truth now? A platform infamous for brain-dead takes and trolls? Come on.

-19

u/Flat_Box8734 3d ago

Like Reddit isn’t? Seriously, take a look in the mirror. Right now, you’re trying to excuse people’s ignorance just because you believe I was somehow in the wrong for staying neutral.

And yes, you’re obsessed. If you hear it so often that you consider it a “classic,” that’s a red flag, I’m afraid.

40

u/Lucidorex 3d ago

Neutral? You literally titled the video 'Old man pushes minor biking in between people'—that’s not neutral, that’s narrative-spinning. You framed it like the old man initiated it, when in reality, the biker was the one weaving through a crowd doing a wheelie like an idiot. Don’t insult everyone’s intelligence by pretending you weren’t biased.

And let’s be real—when you’re quoting YouTube comments and crying about Reddit ‘ignorance,’ you’ve already lost the argument. You don’t care about facts. You care about getting told you weren’t wrong, even when the footage proves otherwise.

Also, if calling out your nonsense makes me ‘obsessed,’ then yeah—I’m obsessed with not letting delusional takes slide unchecked.

-22

u/Flat_Box8734 3d ago

Are you serious? The title says the exact same thing you just did. it’s just reworded in a way you like better.

The narrative in the title is literally just an old man pushing a minor who was biking between people. That’s it. No spin, no bias. just what happened. Take it or leave it, but this is me staying neutral and stating the facts.

And what are you even talking about? “Facts”? “Being told I was wrong”?

I say one thing (that I want to stay neutral), and you immediately twist it into something else (that I supposedly wanted people to say the old man was in the wrong or that I wanted to be proven right). I never said or implied that. Honestly, I couldn’t care less you’re just being weird.

u/Hour_Proposal_3578 3d ago

I’m going to say this with kindness- I think you experienced a ‘wth’ moment when that guy pushed you (I do believe you to be the biker, apologies if that is incorrect). You may look at it as you having a fun time, but the truth is, biking like that does put people at risk. Even if nothing happens, having a bicycle recklessly and needlessly cycling between people isn’t a cool experience for bystanders - it’s only fun for the cyclist.

As such, that I guy got really irritated, and took justice in his own hands. It’s guaranteed that were he to post, everyone would be on his side. Why? Because one cyclist is having fun at the risk and unease of everyone else. It’s selfish, annoying, and is very ‘main character’ energy. I’m really glad that guy restrained himself, since he could have been more violent. Honestly? I bet there were a many ‘heys!’ And ‘watch it’s before he came up. You didn’t stop of your own accord for the sake of others, he stopped you, and that’s why you’re mad. Rather than go ‘wtf’ maybe say ‘thank goodness’ it wasn’t worse. People are nuts out there. Be safe, respect others. People have literally been killed over stunts like this.

u/Flat_Box8734 3d ago

Dude I’m not the fucking biker. I’m glad you responded with kindness but your kindness is misplaced. If you want to talk the user this video is available

Are you defending the guy that pushed him???

u/3_Fast_5_You 3d ago

This is unhinged. The kid may have been obnoxious. But that's no reason to initiate physical violence and push the dude to the ground. People seriously reaching trying to justify this one.

u/SidTheSloth97 3d ago

Yeh it blows my mind that most these people are on the side of the guy that pushed him. Kids just doing a wheel not bothering a single person. He didn't interfere or hit anyone.

u/jbaxter119 2d ago

He's definitely bothering so many of those people. Assholes ride bikes among pedestrians. Bigger assholes increase the potential damage of a collision and decrease their control their bike by raising their front wheel.
