Yea, like that ain't a staged film. I'd be so so curious to its origin and what it was used for.

If only Stanley tools held inner city safe crowbar use courses this tragic misuse of the device could have been avoided..

Join me in crying for the criminals.

Yea, I always just happen to find crowbars by a trash can when going nuts in front of a camera. I'm also careful not to break the windows around my victim so as not to cut them.

I was more curious if it was some type of thug culture video, or some propaganda tool.

aks is correct.. it is to make up for small pee pees...  mine was miniscule when I started shooting at age 5 and since I have been shooting it has become enormous.  Probly grew 3 inchs just buying my first 44 magnum alone.

I'm trying to figure out if I could shoot him or not with out a lot of litigation.   After he broke the window I could say I was blocked in and he was trying to kill me with the crowbar and I had no choice but defend myself.

OTOH, I could have just backed up and ran him down with my truck and say I was just trying to escape in a panic and "darn, he just go in the way".

The former would have been more satisfying but the latter would be more 'Politically Correct'.  

Tough decision....

I'll have to goto Starbuck's and think about this over a latte.

You would probably go to jail. Its a staged video - i.e., its not a real assault- its make believe.

It was obviously "planned" but I seriously doubt that the woman in the PT Cruiser was aware of this African American gentlemen's plans.

Causing that much damage to a new car usually isnt "staged" unless your last name is Bruckheimer.

Either way, I blame society.  :aok

It was planned and it was fake - the whole thing. Just look at the signs in the strip mall. Anything strike you as parculiar? Like they are all brand new, all written in the same font, and there's not a phonenumber on a one of em?  There are no LIGHTS on the signs, because they aren't signs, they're posters covering the real signs in the strip mall. Its dressed for the scene. Its fake.

So now according to you they:

Rented/bought an entire strip mall.

Redid all its signage.

Arranged the general traffic so that the PT crusier would be there at the right moment in the right place...

Practically destroyed  that PT Cruiser..

That costs tens of thousands of dollars at least...

What for? Why would the be done?

Post by: TweetyBird on October 14, 2004, 06:18:41 PM
I'm guessing is a gangster rap promo or something. And yea, they definitely rented and dressed the mall.

I swear I've been by that parking lot in Vegas before.  It's not far from the strip.  If it's the place I'm thinking of it looked just like that when I was there last.

Oh well that cinches it - it MUST be real. They just keep tidy signs and close at dusk :rolleyes:

lmfao... Some people are such typical arses.  Yeah I've been by a mall that looked very similiar to that.  Did I claim that it has to be real?  Umm no I didn't.  Simple stated a fact and frankly isn't my fault some back woods folks haven't ever seen anything but their home towns.

Whatever this place in the video may be,    it should be be easy for any Las Vegas AHer to check out. Its located right across the street from the Nascar Cafe which is at at     2535 Las Vegas Blvd

SEE MAP HERE (http://maps.yahoo.com/maps_result?ed=n6sxS.p_0Tog5Ru4fb3FWiXal6C9l9_R9J.lKwNiMydcvg--&csz=las+vegas&country=us&new=1&name=&qty=)

So our mysterious strip mall is on the NW corner of Las Vegas Blvd. and Sahara Avenue.. Heck you can see the stratosphere tower behing the big store.  

The car is attacked right on the Strip. :)

The place is real.

The signs are not made up.

This store is called the Bonanza Gift Shop.

"Bonanza Gifts: World's Largest Gift Shop
2460 Las Vegas Blvd S, The Strip; 702/385-7359
 

Remember Vegas before the dawn of the megaresort and the city's ultimate return to cool? Like some classic road trip gift-shop memory, Bonanza carries classic kitsch and then some at its huge store on the corner of the Strip and Sahara Avenue. No trip to Vegas is complete without purchasing at least a few postcards, shot glasses, or Elvis sunglasses (with glued-on sideburns) from this unique store."

Hey, post a picture. If its real, fine - but I still don't think it is and wont until I see a picture of it. The store signs look fake.

Why do yoiu need to belive its fake?  I gave you the name of the store, its exacat street adress, its phone number, and an unrelated las vagas tour info about the place.  And now of course the picture.

The place is real.

I don't *need* to believe its fake. I said I believed the signs looked fake. The picture shows they're real.

Do I believe the video is of an actual assualt?

I still don't. Sorry - but it just doesn't look real when the guy avoids the glass by the driver.
But its proven the signs aren't fake, so obviously I was wrong about that (hey, it happens) :)

Those pics were photo shopped.  I know so because they just keep tidy signs and close at dusk.  That is the absolute truth.  Just look at the night photos.  You can tell they are fake.  In one of them the circle is bigger than the other.
