That's reason enough. On top of that, he was damaging property and attacking people repeatedly. He deserved to get his ass kicked and was obviously asking for it.

type568 said: What vid are you talking about The one the thread is about... Cop beats the shit out of dude who apparently got in an accident, drags him out of the car, then doesn't give a fuck when he gets back in the car. Guy backs up like a madman and wrecks two parked vehicles, then runs forward into the pileup again, like he just wants to gtfo. Guy gets out of car, mob surrounds him, cops are like "whatev". People start swinging, guy fights back and appears to be drunk or totally messed up from the accident, everyone kicks the shit out of him as they drive his face into the pavement and the cops arrest him. Everyone casually walks away as he twitches on the ground, handcuffed. I'm wondering what the hell precipitated all that. Nobody's actions made any sense at all except for the guy trying to gtfo, but since he's apparently the bad guy, I have no idea what to make of it. --- |

Kibiz0r said: Russia is one hell of a drug. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-ECMTNcewI Anyone care to explain what happened in that video, that justified a mob, and what seemed to be the police, going all caveman on that guy?
He posts a video, then expresses a concern about a video, and I'm supposed to piece together that he's talking about the original video? In any case, it was hard to keep track of what happened in the original, but it seemed like one of the guys went similarly apeshit crazy. Once again, destroying property, assaulting people. Kick his ass until he's sorry he woke up that day. The video has been taken down, but I remember one of the guys jumping in his smashed up SUV, driving carelessly back into parked cars, etc. Assuming the law and insurance work similarly in [insert country of origin here] (Russia?) he should have been waiting for police. So sure, if he tries to flee the scene, perhaps evaluates that he has nothing to lose and wants to short out on the deal, PULL HIM OUT OF THAT FUCKER AND PUT A TIRE IRON TO HIS FOREHEAD. I mean, if you want. There's also the possibility that he was the victim (unprotected by the government), in which case I bet to sure fuck he wished he had a gun to just pop every motherfucker looking at him wrong and drive off into the sunset. (OK, closer to significant than mild, but meh). -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

type568 said: "XXX's" stands for "XXX is", while "XXXs" means something belongs to XXX, am I correct? You could be wrong or right depending on what XXX is. There is no apostrophe in possessive pronouns and that usually trips people up. With regular nouns, you use the apostrophe: Mike's home. With possessive pronouns, there is no apostrophe: his = a thing that belongs to him. its = a thing that belongs to it. The other case is where an apostrophe is used as a contraction... ...not to be confused with the possessive pronoun -- |

I see.. I think I only had confusion with "its", and "Mike's".. This is the cat's food plate. "your you're"- I know just fine, more like matter of typo(with right click correction suggestion by chrome afterwards) or not reading what I wrote, if I make this error.. And..

I've never heard 'hers' used before, so I'm not sure if it's proper english or not. A quick google search brings it up on wikitionary. |

The word is a proper English word, although I'm not sure I really encountered it before, but.. Concise Oxford English Dictionary said:
hers There is no need for an apostrophe: the spelling should be hers not her's.
Awesome.. Wikipedia doesn't have an example as well.

Oh, I'm dumb. This is obviously proper English and I have heard it used so many times that it didn't even occur to me. Consider this example: "The kite is hers." Or: "The food plate is hers." |

Alright, but I'm still not sure why is: Append: Well, yes.. Hers is possessive.. There's nothing else indicating possession her, or I'm totally confused.

The confusion you're having is between 2 different forms of possessive pronouns: subjective and objective. Take the case of "This is her food plate." and "The food plate is hers." In the first case, "her" is the important word in the sentence fragment "her food plate" and thus it takes the subjective form. (side note: "Her" is not the subject in this example sentence, though. The subject is "This.") In the second case, the "plate" is the subject of the sentence and so the pronoun for "her" is less important, and turned into the objective form "hers". "hers" is an object in reference to the plate. Here's a little graph I found: http://kestrelsaerie.com/2010/01/passive-possessivemdashpronouns-pros/ Pronouns are weird. edit: it's easier to think of subjective as "active", and objective as "passive." edit2: "The food plate is her." is just funny. Meaning "She is the food plate." -- |

Sigh.. Perhaps I should just use the grammar I know, and not to look around trying to correct the others.. It will also be sad if I forget what I learned, as if I haven't it'll be a lot of others and mine time wasted(*).. *- Is all correct this time? However.. Thanks a lot.

But I'm used to think I know English well. And that one mistake is actually a prove I didn't understand the topic.
