Speaking of which, am I the only person on this planet who's never managed to lock himself out of his car with the keys inside? I mean, I've managed to lock myself out of my appartment so many times that I must surely be considered an expert on the talent of locking oneself out of places one likes to get back into later but ... how do you even go about that in the case of a car? I usually need the keys to lock in the first place ...
I'm not really saying he didn't do something stupid, do I think it qualifies him as idiot of the year no and his motives were good so I wouldn't hate on him , not like these guys
Neither would I. All sorts of more stupid things are getting done each and every year, usually by people wearing terribly expensive suits and calling themselves heads of states. They are usually in the lucky situation to have someone to fall into the butcher knife for them though.
I would guess that these kids are too young to operate a lock. And if you don't think you have any keys and you can't wait for a lock smith (young kids crying in a hot car in the summer). And you know that breaking a car window has almost no risk of cutting glass hurting the kids (anybody who has seen a car window break in the last 20 years should know it's safety glass). Then breaking the window should not be that far down the list of options. A butcher knife would be an effective tool to do that.
I don't get it.....why would it be an effective tool for that? The butt end wouldn't be as effective as a hammer, screw driver, or even a rock...
i highly doubt the knife was what he was looking for. he was probably just looking for 'something', and the knife fit the description. Its easy to call a guy stupid for dying like that. But i highly doubt he considered that he was risking his life as he approached those steps. If you ever want to hear stupid. Ask me about how I broke my leg, then stayed 6 hours drunk at a concert, spent 11 days in the hospital, then crawled up to the very top row at Dolphins Stadium just to watch Jay Feidler get booed off the field in the season opener. It's a long story, stemming from one primarily stupid decision.
The butt end would work just fine and we don't know that he had a hammer or a screwdriver (he lived in an apartment). A rock probably wouldn't work as well.
Bro, I dont know of ANY person that doesn't have at least 1 screw driver, living in an apartment doesnt matter. I have even spotted homeless dudes with them. But say he didn't, most ends of a knife (especially those made for kitchens) are short and are made to fit just right and barely off your palm. In the end, your hand would be caught in most of the broken debris as you smash the thing open. Your not telling me he was going to hold the blade and cut the crap out of himself before he even touched the window. It is the most ridiculous tool you could use to break open a car window as odds are your going to hurt yourself more than the car (which is exactly what happened here, even though the fall is what caused it in this specific instance). Odds are the guy thought he could open the door with the large blade ala using a credit card to open a door which IMO would be ridiculous as well.
