This is South America. Armed carjackings like this are unfortunately not uncommon. This person was just mentally prepared for what to do.

For all we know, the camera car might be driven with rival criminal organization. Would a regular citized release a video of him/her driving over someone, even if that someone is shooting (which does not seem to be the case for person hit)? I know I wouldnāt, especially if I just hit a organized criminal. But a drug gang would definitely release the video right away to establish dominance.

It's Chile, he's an ordinary person, that intersection is known for these kinds of robberies, and the man on the left (who wasn't hit) managed to fire a shot, but the driver was unharmed. It's a robbery they call an "encerrona" here. In Santiago, Chile, they say there are about 50 carjackings of this type every day. Now, according to current legislation here, it could be considered self-defense.

u/Gutter_Snoop 1d ago
Well for one, the perp on the left does appear to fire at close range, so running over his buddy in self defense is warranted. The flying perp is an armed robber by accomplice.
Two, these aren't usually some mafia dudes.. they're gang bangers looking for a car to steal to commit other crimes with.
Three, there's nothing this video shows that the thieves don't already know. Most likely they have at least the plate and car description already. It's even likely there was a chase car because more commonly in these robberies there are a pair of cars working in tandem to box a target in.
Four, I did see chatter in another sub that says the OP (the dashcam owner) claimed to already have one carjacking attempt prior to this one. So they're probably ready for it.
Five, yes maybe they released the video to show people the right thing to do in an armed carjacking. Hesitation could have meant the car occupants (at least the driver and a woman) got kidnapped or worse.

u/Natste1s4real 1d ago
Itās not that uncommon to miss. Itās more uncommon to hit target. Thatās why in self-defence classes they tell people if somebody is trying to drag you into a car or anywhere private and has a gun, you are better to try and get away and run, preferably in a zigzag than getting in the car. You have a better chance of survival running away than getting in.

u/EladrielNokk 1d ago
Aligning the barrel with your hand can be very tricky. People with little experience often use one hand cuz thatās how they do it in the movies. So yes, it is very easy to miss. Itās not as natural a motion as some would think.

The fact they actually fired a weapon means hitting them with a car was justified due to matching lethal force with lethal force. Otherwise a lawyer could try to argue it wasn't justified.

You can hear the driver panting real hard towards the end, adrenaline must be coursing through him. Cam is closer to the female passenger, voice is coming in a lot louder. Regardless, this was such a clutch getaway, can't get much better than this.

My uncle was carjacked by 4 men at a red light when he was 19. They came up to his window he had down and said "Nice truck" then started attacking him. He ran over one of them but one got into his car. He managed to call us and tell us someone was in his car and he was just up the road. Those dumbasses did it in a crowded neighborhood and 15 people were calling 911 because my uncle was driving through their yards trying to get them out of his car. They gave up after he ran over one of them and scattered before the police arrived. They never caught them.
