Are you really interested in name calling? Really? Consider the names thrown at me in your thread. They are far worse than "blind" and "ignorant." Some have even been removed.
It is rather ironic that you accuse me of blindness and ignorance when mirrored to your response.
Perhaps rewatching the video would be of some help to you. The "crowd" consisted of three people, two of whom easily walked or jogged out of the truck's path. The other one, who had to stand up before he could move, also got away. How fast was the truck "speeding?" Ten miles an hour?
Regardless of the guy "hiding" as you say he was the driver was still speeding towards a crowd of human beings...
Turkish police run over protesters with a truck!
If you need an explanation as to why the driver came so close to the man crouching behind the opaque, green cover, it has been provided. The evidence you yourself offered shows that the driver most likely did not see the crouching protester, therefore, accident.
Opinions often differ so I am prepared to be "corrected" and perhaps someone can provide some information that will enlighten me as for why this driver's actions should be justified as accidental.
Come on man/woman, lose the attitude, the only person you are impressing is yourself

Wow your comments are way over the top and racist. I am all for freedom of speech but you are just plain stupid and that is giving you more credit then you deserve.

Hey, buddy. Sorry to say this, but ain't you the one doin' the judging? It sounds like it, but I sure could be wrong.
the Ugliness of his deep seeded Christian Racism.
Funny though, Wasn't there a phrase like "Judge not, or Ye Shall be Judged"

Last time I heard, if you wanna be a racist, you gotta hate some race.
Buddy, that there is where we part ways. I don't hate no race, and I got nothin' against them fellows in the videos.
www.abovetopsecret.com... "Crushing Force"?
If that is indeed the case, that hatred of the West is the motivator, then pulling out of Afghanistan, the entire Middle-East, or even the world, will not stop Islamic Jihadi attacks. Perhaps the only solution is crushing force, but I'm wide open for another, realistic solution.

It may be very true that I write in an odd way. Forgive me and let me translate.

Maybe it has exposed me to others, but exposed me as what? In the West, and I thought the world, when a man slips on a banana peel and falls, it's seen as funny. When a man boasts to a friend "Watch me make this amazing basketball shot from this trampoline," then jumps on the trampoline which tears and dumps him to the ground, we find it funny. When we see a man pouring gasoline on wood to start a fire, then he pours more, we say to ourselves "Enough." But when he pours more and more, we start cringing because we know what will happen. Then he turns to his friend and says "Watch this, bet you've never seen anything like this." he tosses in a match, the thing explodes in fire, and we watch him running and jumping into a pool, a sizeable proportion of us laugh.
I believe your finding Humour with the Water Cannon Vid, in this thread has Exposed you , to Others.

What this man did does is not a reason for him to be killed. Learn some empathy it is sad you did not learn it at a young age from your parents.
On ATS it's OK to be racist against Muslims, that has been the case for some time.
Get used to it.

Also your comments were very racist. Try and spin that one for me.
Spin it? I don't even understand it. How does race enter into this? I don't even know what race the people involved in this are.
