Un-happy slapper

2008 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

I was reading a slush story, and I tried to find the said video of a slapper trying to slap someone from a moving car, but fell out and hit a car moving in the opposite direction.

I don't think this one I found is the one the story talked about. However, it played out very similarily, except that the other car was parked, and the pedestrian I think was a kid on a bike.

In any case, it played out similarily from the way the kid got hit. I wonder however if he bit it. He hit face first into a parked car.

Hopefully, this link will still be up by the time you guys get it. However, it's been up since March of last year, so I'm sure this source is reliable.

If you want me to make a writeup instead of using the original slush, let me know when you judge the entry, and I'll make a formal writeup. However, one problem is that I don't know if the person died or not, so seeing if it's a Darwin or a Honourable Mention will be tough.

I had to go back and watch that a few times to be sure I actually saw what I thought I did. All I can say is that the idiot sure deserved it. Thanks, James!

Definitely Keep: For Darwin's Eyes
Since there seems to be no definite evidence of his condition, I'm unsure if this is a DA or an HM; nevertheless, this certainly deserves to be seen by Darwin herself! The stupidity, arrogance, comeuppance, &c &c is all there! Thanks, James! It's a good thing it was a PARKED car, or else it would have been a LOT messier!
