Long sentence for doing something legal? Trollololol
Pretty good example of why gun laws need tightening, presuming of course he has that legally, just emptied the clip through his own windows, moron, hope he gets a long sentence.
(ex pistol shooter and range officer)
This video was produced by the Daily Caller, a right wing propaganda outlet founded by Fox News far-right television pundit, firebrand and conspiracy theorist Tucker Carlson. The Daily Caller has a well deserved reputation for publishing false and misleading stories, anti-black and antisemitic views, climate change denial, Covid-19 misinformation and political hatchet jobs often mixed in with more factual reporting.
Why is the girl in the first part of the video not the same woman arguing with the police in the second part of the video? Why is the car with front end damage after rear ending the other car in the first part of the video not damaged in the second part of the video (assuming it is the same car). What does a different driver of different race being accused of driving a stolen vehicle have to do with the car accident in the first part of the video? What exactly does the first part of the video clip have to do with the second part of the video and why are the two disparate videos being presented together implying that they are somehow related? What exactly is the "whole story" being presented here?
I was going to respond to this, but there's too much to unpack. Left-leaning media websites/personalities are just as bad and I'm using the word "media" in place of "news" because it doesn't seem like news really gets reported anymore. Both left and right media outlets pretty much publish whatever they think will make them the most money.
I'm not sure why they have the two videos together. They do appear to be separate instances. What @mentadent was referring to is the fact that the Lambo guy only posted the video of her rear-ending his car. He neglected to mention that he side-swapped her car by driving into the opposing lane of traffic to go around her when she didn't make a left-turn on yellow. He side-swiped her car while he was trying to avoid hitting a bicyclist during the maneuver:
Lamborghini 'Rear-ending' Woman May Be Exonerated by New TikTok Video
The woman posted a TikTok of her own saying, "Matt Heller went into oncoming traffic on a red light because I didn't turn left on yellow. And then almost hit a person. My lawyers will be serving him with slander."www.newsweek.com

Yes I only intended to point out that getting just part of the story in a short video clip can dangerously make a lot of people jump to an incorrect conclusion.
I wish to note that we don't get to see the whole story in a short clip like that.
Like this video makes it look like an open and shut case it was the ladies' fault, but it wasn't:
In contrast, the Daily Caller has no interest in legitimate journalism. It is well known that the stock-and-trade of the Daily Caller is to routinely publish misleading or outright false information.
I certainly don't think they are trying to convey the woman in the second video is the woman from the first video. Maybe you can send the Daily Caller an email and ask what their intention was for editing the two clips together?The two videos are presented together like that for a purpose.
Instead what they do is designed to stir up anger and divisiveness on an emotional, gut level in the service of the far right.
I found the page on their website that links to their YouTube video. They actually updated the page and made it clear that there was an update:
Guy Gets Rear-Ended In His Lamborghini, Woman Accuses Him Of Causing The Crash In Hilarious Video
One guy is making the rounds online after he was rear-ended in his Lamborghini. Matt Heller posted a video of himself after his vehicle was hit.dailycaller.com
This is actually something that most of the Democrat "news"/media sites don't do. They'll publish false/misleading "news" or "news" with no factual basis and then stealth edit their "news" articles on their website without mentioning the edit itself.

I would agree with this statement if you replaced "the far right" with "their respective target audiences". There are many so called "news" outlets that have a heavy left/Democrat slant that are guilty of the very same things you accuse the Daily Caller of doing. I think part of the problem is most of these sites allow third-party columnist to write opinion articles with very little or no editorial oversight.
I would just take the video for what it appears to be: something designed to get clicks and eyeballs to generate ad revenue. This is something that is done across the political spectrum and I think it's unfair to call out the Daily Caller without calling out all the other "news" and media outlets.
It seems you're the target audience for all the bigoted material put out by the Democrat news/media. The left needs to stop with the "anyone who has a different opinion than me is racist" tripe. It's way overplayed at this point and boring.it seems you are apparently the target audience for such material.
This is certainly a hot take on what I wrote. Videos like the two that were combined together are widely known to gain a lot of attention. Why else would they post videos that went viral if not to improve their bottom line? At the end of the day media companies don't exist to improve society, they exist to improve the financial positions of their shareholders and owners.Your "analysis" here and the fact that you perceive such a manufactured video that arbitrarily combines two disparate stories tacking on video of white police officers confronting a black woman and black bystanders to be nothing more than "revenue generating click bait" speaks volumes
Finally, the author of the piece is David Hookstead, who has a reputation for often posting controversial and racially charged material, especially about certain black athletes like Colin Kaepernick.

It seems you know more about David Hookstead and follow him more than I do. Maybe you have an "outrage porn" addiction?
People should do their best to use critical thinking with whatever they read on the internet, and see on TV, especially these days, but unfortunately we don't often see much critical thinking nowadays.
It seems to me that this individual was not shooting. It was just a moron most likely was high on substance and would like to listen to fire cracks. Do not need to mention one of the four basic principles “know your target and beyond”. It was more like a gangster-style operation. By the way, they could easily get their guns at a corner of street for a quarter of price than those from a gun store.
With surge of gun sales, especially last year, many first-time gun buyers/owners really need to have some knowledge of handling firearms. It would be beneficial for everybody.Unfortunately, there are a lot of people running around with firearms these days (many purchased legally) who have no training or experience with them. Their whole mindset surrounding guns is what they see in the movies and in video games. The guy in the video strikes me as one of these types.

Rational thinking, certain people should not own firearms, I mean legally, excluding those obtaining guns from corner of street. However, this would open a can of worms. The bottom-line is that owning/operating a vehicle is a privilege in this country and governments can regulate it. Doesn’t matter what individual’s opinion on this, owning a firearm in this country is a right. US Supreme Court has ruled multiple times on this. That’s the way it is.Several years ago an Iraq war veteran wrote a letter to one of our local newspapers regarding his thoughts on licensing firearms purchases. As a long time gun owner I was so impressed with the letter I found a link and bookmarked it. It's a worthy read.
Letter: Why no filter for gun purchase?
