I'd love to see the cops try and catch this guy.
They'd probably shoot him out of frustration LMAO

On another thought.

Assuming that was filmed in russia.

Russia sure does have alot of abandoned buildings

He's on a roll gents!   Rip, and to think I'm near Detroit!  If someone here did that to my TV, I'd let him KEEP the TV and spot him $20.

Before breakup many buildings were being built all round nation. All construction stopped after collapse, and half completed monstrosities stayed there for almost 10 years. For many children those things became a playground. During last trip to St Petersburg, all of my old playgrounds were finally completed, but since unofficially St Petersburg is considered as the Russia’s capital, I’m sure it is much worst in small towns/cities.
(In other words, those monstrosities are the fruits of liberation  )

This is not about respect; he says things as he see it. This is about western ideology of a ‘nice life’ is. There is no argument that of applying western view, Russia is full of poverty which makes it a ‘craphope’. When applying east view to west, idea reverses.

People in Russia and old Soviet eastern dominated think western life is a craphole?  

Is that why they built walls around their countries, to stop the western craphole life from intruding into the idylic soviet paradise?

Even back in  my youth in Yugoslavia, the nicest most open communist state most people looked to the west, whether western europe or usa, as a source of great opportunmity and hope for better life in many ways.

The great opportunity is from a monetary perspective, right? I do not disagree with that. But what about people, culture and its values; can they be bought with money? I say there is a fundamental difference between two. It’s like comparing US in 50s and in current day. People from 50s, looking into future, would not want to live here, just as current people looking back into past.

this is really interesting to me...

I have had both russian and grun to my home and went shooting with them at the range..

I like both guys and think both are bright young men.  

Russian is right... probly our way of life seems "strange" and maybe undesirable (craphole) to some easterners and I could understand that... it has it's crappyu aspects (stress etc.)

grun is also correct... for an individualistic and materialistic person or person who is ambitious for himself and his family... it is impossible to see things from  the eastern viewpoint.

as for respect.....  like I said... I like both guys... I think they are both moral and bright lads... call that respect.... or don't
