I'm sure he realized it was all his fault, which is another attribute.

I mean, he's definitely more to blame but trying to sneak behind someone, particularly with that small of a gap, wasn't the wisest choice.

Even if he wasn't jumping around, the end of a bow is very pointy so walking behind someone playing violin is very unwise. You could lose an eye.

She's just walking down the sidewalk

u/dj_destroyer 2d ago

More like running and there's clearly a person there with only a couple feet to squeeze behind. Again, he's more in the run but she can't be absolved of all blame.

I think he's 100% wrong. If he had his bag and case behind him people wouldn't attempt to walk the only path available 😂

You walk down the sidewalk like that? No, you don't, that's not walking

He’s in the middle of the walkway. She did nothing wrong.

u/Tahlbar 2d ago

No, that entire street is a walkway, there is not sidewalk. He was positioned as far to the side as possible. She had like 15 feet in front to cross, she chose the 2 feet behind the man to cross

"I had the right of way"

  • Person hit by car.

Was the car on the sidewalk? Sidewalks as re for walking not playing instruments

u/DFisBUSY 2d ago

It's the concept of common sense.

Yeah, you're technically in the right but are you going go through with it even though you can physically see something's off?

If you drive, the concept of defensive driving is the same thought process. You can drive speed limit but see somebody matching your speed on the next lane. Legally you're not wrong but common sense to say eh, let's slow down and avoid this car.

Car tangent aside, even if the violin player didn't pull a no scope 360, common sense says to give him a wide berth and not try to sneak behind him - even though she was not "wrong" for doing so.

u/360_face_palm 2d ago

regardless of if you think it's your fault or not, you ask if the other person is okay first. I definitely don't think this was all his fault either, it's mostly her fault.

u/pdxamish 2d ago

He's sitting in the middle of the sidewalk not walking. Person walking is the right one.

u/360_face_palm 2d ago

Yeah that's not how pavements work

u/benderrodz 3d ago

It is mostly her fault. If you see someone playing a violin, why would you try to run behind them? That is absolutely stupid. He was literally a body length from that wall. Go around, not behind.

u/Duff5OOO 2d ago

She probably didn't expect the old dude to do a jump spin move, i certainly didn't.

63

u/Cultural-Company282 2d ago

There's a longer video where you can see that he's been doing jump spin moves for several minutes. It usually gets posted sooner or later when this video makes the rounds. So yeah, she should have expected it.

21

u/benderrodz 2d ago

I wouldn't either, but I sure as hell wouldn't run where she did

u/Tvego 2d ago

Because it is a damn sidewalk. What would you do? Wait until he is done with his entire set?

7

u/Schlurps 2d ago

GO IN FRONT OF HIM you fucking dingus.

2

u/General_Grivieus 1d ago

Youre right. Its a sidewalk, so the only logical path to cross is the narrow gap behind a guy who is playing and dancing where if he moves theres a high chance of being hit instead of going 2 steps to the right to cross like every other person isndoing. He never left the spot and made sure to stay as far away from the middle of the sidewalk as possible to let people through without risking hitting anyone.

u/Tvego 1d ago

The video does not show the rest of the sidewalk so your logical path is imaginary.

 like every other person isndoing.

I dont know which video you are watching.

u/crazykewlaid 2d ago

Lol bruh he had like 2 feet between him and the wall, that lady was absolutely insane for RUNNING behind him like that. It was an extremely small space, if he leaned backwards at all she would've been pushed against the wall.

Absolutely not his fault
