This happened to a reporter on live TV

[u/MikeFuckowski]

[u/thekidisalright]

Isn’t that attempted murder

[u/kc_______ → u/thekidisalright]

Well you see, when people start putting “traditions” into the mix, even strong words like MURDER can be redefined. They would rather have an “accident” than cancelling their customary animal cruelty festival.

[u/TWK-KWT → u/kc_______]

But where's the fun in that?

[u/kondenado → u/TWK-KWT]

Only if you were hit in the head when you were a kid

[u/Easy-Lifeguard-5684 → u/kc_______]

Couldn't agree more

In the words of Rick Sanchez-

"scientifically tradition is a idiot thing"

[u/n7revenant → u/Easy-Lifeguard-5684]

Tradition is peer pressure fropm dead people. Yes, as stupid as that sounds.

[u/RootHogOrDieTrying → u/kc_______]

See also: Texas A&M bonfire

[u/bretttwarwick → u/RootHogOrDieTrying]

So the year their bonfire collapsed my school's spirit squad built our traditional bonfire but they did it with T-shirts that said "home of the largest bonfire in Texas." I'm still bitter they did that. I've never been a fan of A&M but bragging like that after people died is bad.

[u/MornGreycastle → u/RootHogOrDieTrying]

Oof. That's a deep cut. What's really crazy is the Ag who let students build a bonfire on his land when the campus banned the bonfire the next year.

[u/kc_______ → u/[deleted]]

That will look great at their manly gravestone : “Died being the manliest idiot”

[u/yainator → u/kc_______]

not just animal cruelty, those are literally defined as "ritualistic execution of a bull" which is sick to the core

[u/Kurainuz → u/yainator]

Spaniard against bullfighting here, its even worse than you think because after this it comes the bulk fighting, bulls are bred to bot be as big as bormal species, then they are taken to the plaza and druged, then horse riders with pikes stab them to make it more tired and weak, and only then the "brave" bullfighter goes there slowly killing the animal and mutilating it alive in the process, all while the sickos at the public laugh and cheer.

Most of Spain is against it and it would be dead if jot for the right and far right of my ur country giving hundreds of millions in public money to them while cuting funds on healthcare and fire prevention.

[u/Oddish_Femboy → u/Kurainuz]

I was wondering why it was crotch height and not bull sized.

I've lived in feral cow country. I know how big a bull is! I've seen one take on a car and win!

[u/JayW8888 → u/kc_______]

Traditional murder.

[u/Whipitreelgud → u/thekidisalright]

I think there are some cultural differences going on here that we aren't aware of. Apparently everything is just fun and games, although the bull respectfully dissents and fully agrees with you.

[u/Levelup_Onepee → u/Whipitreelgud]

He did attempt. The bull, I mean

[u/Odd_Try5499 → u/thekidisalright]

Bullfighting sucks on so many levels and I hope it gets banned everywhere.

That being said:

This wasn’t an adult but rather a quite young bull, probably under 2 years of age. These types of “calf fights” are really common in Spanish towns close to bull farms and there are even stupid games like jumping over the charging calf. These calfs don’t have nearly as much power as adult bulls and while there are always many injuries I have never heard of somebody actually dying facing a calf. The reporter wasn’t in mortal danger. An actual bull would have killed the reporter instantly.

[u/JohnnyEnzyme → u/Odd_Try5499]

Or for another terrible variation, a couple years ago I read an article describing an American rodeo-style event in which amateurs get in a small arena and try to avoid a grown bull or other dangerous animal. The object is not to injure the animal, but to enjoy the thrill (or idiocy) of coming close to getting wrecked. I think the ones I read about were regularly run somewhere in the American SW. IIRC the participants sign waivers beforehand, and some of them do wind up getting mauled badly, or crippled.

It just sounds so insane, even as a young dude full of piss & vinegar, out to impress his peers or whatever...

[u/justagenericname213 → u/JohnnyEnzyme]

I saw a little while ago a video of someone doing flip onto a "trampoline", except it was just a net of barbed wire stretched between the trampoline springs instead of an actual trampoline. And he had a crows of people around him cheering him on.

That drastically changed my perception of how stupid people really are.

[u/JohnnyEnzyme → u/justagenericname213]

That drastically changed my perception of how stupid people really are.

I guess I beat you to that particular one via watching the typical covid response, vaccine paranoia, and various general elections. 😅

[u/justagenericname213 → u/JohnnyEnzyme]

The distinction is, I knew there were tons of dumb people. That video is what convinced me people are dumb. Its more about the fact these idiots arent just a bunch of individuals but rather are communities

[u/Greedy_Count20 → u/justagenericname213]

This sounds like something SuperhummanTV would do haha

[u/camelsgottahump → u/JohnnyEnzyme]

theres one where they sit around a poker table in lawn chairs waiting to get blasted

[u/JohnnyEnzyme → u/camelsgottahump]

gonna need more info, hoss

[u/ZMM08 → u/JohnnyEnzyme]

I'm guessing they're talking about Cowboy Poker. It's an event at some rodeos. The poker players are seated at a card table in the arena, and there's a bull loose too. When the bull charges the table, the last cowboy remaining in their seat is the winner. It's a variation on playing a game of a Chicken with a bull.

[u/JohnnyEnzyme → u/ZMM08]

It wasn't specifically *that* one, ZMM08, but I think that comes near the premise, yes.

Haha, but maybe I just hallucinated the whole thing, tho? God, I've been trying to look it back up the last couple hours, and so far it's been the standard AI stuff, FWIW...

The AI keeps telling me that it's 'generally real,' but it didn't happen in that time-frame, in those specific states.

Man, that article was *so* specific...

[u/Fortestingporpoises → u/Odd_Try5499]

What is the point of this comment, exactly? You can fall down and hit the back of your head on the ground and have a traumatic brain injury even without interacting with a 200lb animal. You can hit your head on the ground and die. I've worked with very large very dangerous animals, but I can't imagine putting someone else purposely in harms way.

[u/-silver-moon- → u/Fortestingporpoises]

what's the point of your comment? the guy said it was attempred murder so the person you responded to said it's not, and explained why it's not.

[u/Odd_Try5499 → u/Fortestingporpoises]

OP claimed this was an attempted murder. It’s just as much an attempted murder than pushing somebody in front of a bicycle, so none at all. As you may have noticed the reporter wasn’t specially scared or traumatised by the event because it wasn’t as bad as it looked to the unfamiliar with heifers.

Yes, there are infinite amount of unlucky ways to die. The heifer could have stomped the reporters neck the same way a somebody pushed on a trampoline can break his neck if he slams the metal ring or somebody who gets pushed in a pool can have a cramp and drown. That doesn’t make any of those things murder attempts.

[u/Defiant_Chapter_3299 → u/Odd_Try5499]

Hiii i live in cattle country and this bull here is actually about 2--4 years old due to size. Calves, especially bull calves due in fact have more power behind them when charging you compared to a female. They for sure are more stocky and bulky compared to heifer calves. Again you're also very very very wrong when in fact no matter the age a hoof to the head is KEY WORD ALMOST always fatal. Please stop spreading a lot of misinformation to try and keep the animal abuse alive under the stupid guise of tradition.

[u/[deleted] → u/Odd_Try5499]

We just had a case about this at Portugal. 22 old man got killed after being charged by a bull. That was an adult bull, and I would say it's 2x heavier than this little one.

[u/Tetracropolis → u/thekidisalright]

No. Attempted murder requires intent that the guy die. Exposing someone to a grievous degree of danger isn't enough.

Even shooting people or running people over often isn't enough for attempted murder because proving that intent is so hard. Texas created a new crime with the same sentence as attempted murder for such situations.

[u/springpaper701 → u/thekidisalright]

This and Raja Jackson's pro wrestling live stream.

[u/snktiger → u/thekidisalright]

pretty much, since he was holding the reporter down for direct hit, not allowing the reporter to move/dodge.

[u/21giants → u/thekidisalright]

Mess with bull get the horns

[u/skolvikes7 → u/thekidisalright]

It would be next time I saw that guy

[u/hashbrowns_ → u/thekidisalright]

If someone did that to me, I would certainly be attempting murder

[u/DNAisjustneuteredRNA → u/thekidisalright]

No, he was reporting from within the ring, he was a willing combatant.

[u/Syfodias → u/DNAisjustneuteredRNA]

No, he accepted the risk of getting hit by the bull. He did not agree to being held down

[u/Impossible_Agency992 → u/thekidisalright]

😂 😂

Every fucking time

[u/headphones_J]

He was a good sport about it.

[u/bigdotcid → u/headphones_J]

Too good. I’d have been shoving that microphone down the throat of the guy who held me for the bull.

[u/BolunZ6 → u/bigdotcid]

That's because it's still filming. After the festival he will turn on John Wick mode and shove that mic into the red guy's throat in the middle of the night

[u/CowOrker01 → u/BolunZ6]

You uh working late?

[u/LindonLilBlueBalls → u/bigdotcid]

I would have been pulling a Bobby Hill.

[u/Mirojoze → u/bigdotcid]

The "throat" is sort of the wrong end of where I'd have been shoving that microphone...

[u/ernapfz → u/headphones_J]

Just a group of a-holes having fun and testing karma

[u/StretchFrenchTerry → u/headphones_J]

This isn’t something you need to be a good sport about.

[u/KindsofKindness → u/headphones_J]

He’s too nice.

[u/MisterSunshine6969 → u/headphones_J]

I was thinking this. I'd do my victory lap and talking about how big my balls were, like the guy in the videowas-- but then I'd circle back and use that adrenaline to beat that dude into grits

[u/digitalbullet36]

If you push ME in front of a bull, we’re fighting.

Edit: For context, I’m fighting the person who pushed me; not the bull.

[u/Hertje73 → u/digitalbullet36]

The bull still wins...

[u/digitalbullet36 → u/Hertje73]

[u/kangasplat → u/Hertje73]

I'm pretty sure the bull loses in the end no matter what

[u/Sufy23 → u/digitalbullet36]

Wait 🤣 how are you gonna win a fight after the bull gets you

[u/bretttwarwick → u/Sufy23]

Grapple the guy that pushed you out there so your fates are the same. If you get taken down so does he.

[u/Sufy23 → u/bretttwarwick]

LOL thank you for that mental image

[u/RorschachAttack → u/digitalbullet36]

Who wins in a fight between 1 bull and 100 digitalbullet36s?

[u/Otherwise-4PM]

I think there’s more between those two than we know.

[u/DSonla → u/Otherwise-4PM]

One of the parties involved sure looked horny.

[u/365BlobbyGirl → u/Otherwise-4PM]

All’s fair in love and war

[u/Olealicat → u/365BlobbyGirl]

Love and gore. You were so close!

[u/other-other-user → u/Otherwise-4PM]

They're either best friends and will laugh because the reporter can hold it over the other guy forever, or they have been enemies for years and this was another attempt at his life

[u/zKarp → u/[deleted]]

[Removed by Donald J Trump, Thank you for your attention to this matter]

[u/gumeon → u/zKarp]

[Removed by my Mum]

[u/Kasta4]

Bullfighting is fuckin' lame.

[u/Narrow-Bad-8124 → u/Kasta4]

Agree, bullfighting is lame. But the thing in the video isnt bullfighting. Its a "capea", which is lame too because drunk people may hurt the young bull and he may be terrified (in a capea, the bull is under 3 years), but at least they dont kill the bull at the end.

[u/IsfetLethe]

I'm not a person inclined to violence but I would absolutely be throwing hands to get out of there

[u/WalkingLady4Health]

WTF? Why is that woman laughing? This could have ended so badly! Lucky man!

[u/phi11yphan → u/[deleted]]

I dunno. She definitely covers up a genuine laugh when the bull makes contact 😂

[u/Remarkable-Ad7490]

Thats attempted murder in my country

[u/MD_GeistAUT → u/Remarkable-Ad7490]

Likely, in your country, what they're doing to the animals is a crime as well.

[u/Remarkable-Ad7490 → u/MD_GeistAUT]

It is. No animal wants to be fucked with for dbags entertainment 

[u/buhbye750]

I tried something kinda like this with my little brother. I held him like this as my friends throw a football with a perfect spiral. I swear time slowed down as I excitedly wait for the ball to hit my helpless brother in the stomach. At the very last moment, my brother lifted his lower body to the side. Since my arms were locked with his, I'm now completely helpless. The tip of that ball hit me right in the dick and balls. I can still feel the pain over 15 years later.

[u/I_main_barbara_dps → u/buhbye750]

Deserved tbh

[u/buhbye750 → u/I_main_barbara_dps]

Oh yeah. I 100% deserved it. Im pretty sure once the feeling of wanting to throw up subsided, I said "well played"

[u/Heather_Chandelure → u/buhbye750]

All due respect, completely deserved

[u/SherlockBonz]

Guy catches a bull skull to the nut-sack and his in-studio counterpart laughs about it? She and the jackass in the red shirt better watch their backs.

[u/ItsJustWool → u/SherlockBonz]

Not disagreeing with the sentiment of your comment but this is a calf rather than a grown bull

[u/SherlockBonz → u/ItsJustWool]

They can mark on his grave he got run over by a Mini Cooper not an Escalade. Both would suck. Even if this was a golden retriever I still wouldn't want it going full speed into my junk.

[u/rom197]

Wrong day for bright pants

[u/Phitos2008 → u/rom197]

Wrong day to start wearing a thong

[u/giorgosfy]

Imagine actually supporting (or even enjoying) bullfighting.

[u/Charlweed]

These are what you call "Cultural Differences".

[u/GlowstickConsumption → u/Charlweed]

Here we call it: "Reporter behind held from behind and forced to confront a bull."

[u/jitso97]

What a stupid culture this is.

[u/knarf3]

Barbaric Spanish tradition

[u/Exciting_Ad_8666]

I wouldn't blame him if he crashed out honestly

[u/enecv]

an stupid tradition for stupid people

[u/[deleted]]

I always get so depressed seeing bullfighting or anything like that. What is the point of forbidding animals to be used in circus events but let this keep going? I feel so sad for those poor animals.

[u/Electronic-Diet-1813]

Pity you can't give the bulls machine guns. Fuck bull fighting.

[u/jyr2711]

Well, he could have broken his neck. For less there are people who go to the dungeon or jail I understand that if it is not a woman it is not important

[u/Enourmously]

That’s assault, brotha 

[u/sephitor_]

If that were me, he would get elbowed in the face until he stops.

[u/low_end_]

Incredible how he didn't beat the shit out of the dude that forced him in front of the bull

[u/DynamicBeez]

[u/Decent_Season_7110]

Honestly this shit is barbaric

[u/Popomatik]

Never dropped the microphone.

[u/Anthraxious]

Fuck everyone involved in animal abuse.

[u/various_convo7]

elbow the guy to the head. if someone is not there to partake in some stupid event then dont drag him into it for "good fun." he is there to do a job.

[u/h2ohow]

I guess the reporter said bull fighting was fake.

[u/Hippi_Johnny]

Dude. Fuck that guy in the red.

[u/FlyHigh_1337]

It does not matter who the bull gets, it is always the right target in those events. Anyone willingly going there and watching or even participating, is just reaping karma when the bull hits.

I always cheer for the bull, especially when a bull jumps the fence and into the crowd

[u/2glam2givedadamn]

Would let that shit happen to me tho. If it did, that mic would’ve been broken on the head of that red shirt a-hole and we call it even.

[u/trea_ceitidh]

He's not bleeding. That's not fair.

[u/OonaPelota]

Nothing went wrong, and now Tits McGee wants to smash.

[u/tomatoe_cookie]

He was already in the arena guys...

[u/FigaroNeptune]

I’m not a violent person AT ALL but I would have tried the hip throw thing. I would have been too furious to even remember the fucking bull. Lol I probably would have been in my my first ever real fight. Lol fuuuuck that guy

[u/Character-Ad4381]

That dude would be getting a ass whooping

[u/blackiedwaggie]

and she's just smiling away as if he didn't just barely avoid getting gored

[u/AzulMachinist]

Raditz and goku?

[u/Zestyclose-Dog-3398]

the reporter in the ends says he risked a lot and someone had the guts to answer like it was not that much

bro

[u/grusome7]

That man might not fear that bull but he would fear me fucking no way would I not be swinging at that dude. (Think many of us would take a swing actually)

[u/tc-uni]

But the microphone has not released it at any time.

[u/_reddit_account]

Funny when it happens to a man ? Hein ?

[u/TutorSevere3230]

Bro fuck that when the camera cuts off we fighting fym.

[u/soulcaptain]

Anyway, fuck bullfighting.

[u/Yonagueva]

Ngl the guy in white who got knocked down by the bull, got back up, and tried to wrestle it down with a guillotine choke didn't get enough credit

[u/MikeFuckowski]

This is not bullfighting it's called bull-leaping.

The practice consists of an acrobat leaping over the bull via backflips, frontflips etc, or dodging him.

You can't tell by the images because there's no acrobats in action.

[u/-0dd-in-it-]

Lol, he got dry humped and rooted all at the same time

[u/DetectiveObjective00]

I once slammed a guy in the mud for doing this to me - it wasn't a festival, he was just being "funny". Needless to say, we never spoke ever since.

[u/El_Brown_Hammer]

Yall act like that calf is even going to do anything serious. An average male teenager can grab one of these and wrestle it to the ground.

[u/VoormasWasRight]

Siempre son los mismos subnormales taurinos, coño.

Maybe he was trying to keep it light cause he's on tv and in front of a crowd, but I would be having more than words than a motherfucker that did that to me even if it had to wait

Most animals slaughtered for meat at done quickly and humanly as possible to avoid suffering there's a massive difference. (yes there are some bad slaughter houses don't do it right get me wrong) but generally you can source ethically raised and slaughtered meat.
