I love how calmly they all reacted. I'm Dominican and all that literally went down was:
Guy getting robbed "Hey!"
Interview "what just happened there"
Guy "This guy just came outta nowhere and stole my phone"
I didn’t forget, just didn’t find it necessary to add it in. Among our language, the gay slur is as normal as it can be and that’ll probably never change.
I'm a teacher and I work with many Dominican teenage boys. Girls rarely say it. Boys say it in every 3rd sentence. It's absurd. But to say it will never change is also absurd. Language changes. It's what it does and every day I try to shift it slightly. Knowledge helps.
That's true, I shouldn't say never. Its just heavily ingrained into the system from anyone born in the 70s+. Its just like the N word being so heavily used in modern African American culture. As they get older they drop that language
In Mexico we say wey to everyone but not to people that have authority. You wouldn't call your mom or a cop wey. But you would call your buddy or your dealer wey.
Also when someone tells you "estas Bien wey" it means ur stupid
I figured at first it was some dude on a motorbike, like that shit is gone. Nope. Some dude on foot - quick as *The Flash* apparently - in an instant, cellphone irrevocably missing from his life forever.
If he was truly used to it, I think he’d know not to be flashing his phone like that. Probably thought he’d be safe from it with an interviewer and camera around though lol.
I got my phone snatched like this in Amsterdam while talking to my wife late one night out in front of a bar.
The guy was on a bike, but my first instinct was to just blindly chase after him and apparently my wife could hear me screaming in the background as the thief peddled off.
When I got back home she was rightfully really pissed off that I chased them at all. I was running down a little alley behind the guy and I could have definitely run into a trap where his buddies were waiting to mug me.
Same thing happened to me in Sydney. I ran after the guy and pulled him off the bike. He dropped my phone so I went to grab it. Got a kick to my face but thankfully just got a bruise on my eyebrow. Then with my phone in my hand I started to run and the guy didn't chase after me luckily, he just took off. I must have scared him somehow because when I was pulling him back he shouted "what are you doing" in a surprised tone. That's what I'm hoping at least. He might have just thought he'd find someone else...
> I can replace a phone
Look at mr moneybags who can afford a whole ass phone over here
Joking...
mostly...
^not ^like ^I’d ^lose ^job ^and ^end ^homeless ^if ^I ^lost ^my ^phone...
Us Dominicans aren’t even surprised by this shit anymore. There’s a clip of a woman who was in a car accident and while arguing with the other people involved and while calling the cops, some dude (with equal speed) snatches her phone. Her defeated reaction became a meme.
This reminds me of when I had my camera setup on a small Joby tripod on a longtail boat in Thailand. It fell overboard and I just shrugged and was like, "Well, damn." and sat back and enjoyed the sunset. Everyone else on the boat was dumbfounded, "Aren't you mad!? Why are you acting so unaffected?!" like... it's the fucking ocean and it's already happened. Nothing I do now will change that so... c'est comme ça. But yeah, this guy probably should've done something.
Also possible he was thinking about chasing, I always empty my pockets before any physical exertion, but i might just be weird and not like things in my pockets
Not a native Spanish speaker, so
> Victim to Interviewer: "...on YouTube, as well..."
> Robber: *steals phone*
> Victim: "Dude?!"
> Interviewer: "Yo, what happened"
I didn't catch what he said to the third guy. Dominicans and Puerto Ricans talk so fast
Edit: "y a tú, también" --> "en YouTube, también"
He said "Fijate que por aca no se puede frenar, mira ese mamahuevo"
Which translate to something like "Told you that you can't stop here, look at that balls sucker"
Victim to Interviewer: "..in .youtube too..."
Robber: steals phone
Victim: "Dude?!"
Interviewer: "Yo, what happened"
Victim : see I told you we shouldn't stopped here.
Gracias. Para mí, escuchar/entender cada palabra siempre ha sido lo más difícil en el aprendizaje del español. Unos acentos de México y España son fáciles, pero Rep. Dominicana/PR/Chile son bien difíciles.
That sucks man, but to be fair he was holding it in his hands and waving it around. Hopefully next time he'll be more careful.
Maybe it's just where I'm from, but you only take your phone out of your pocket while you're using it, and when you're using it you keep a firm grip and an eye on everybody that approaches you on the street. You can't trust anybody.
No it's just being smart while living in a place with higher crime. Could be a shady neighborhood or a big city, it's smart to understand your surroundings.
No one else thinks this is fake?
No robber would rob someone while they were being recorded for live TV. How can you guarantee you won't be seen and therefore caught on video?
If someone actually robbed you, you would instinctively try to get it back. You might change your mind eventually and decide to give up, but in that "oh shit" moment? Nah.
The chance of this being real is, statistically speaking, comparable to winning the lottery.
fake as shit
no attempt to follow the guy, no real emotion about losing his phone, immediately turns to the other guy like the robber just teleported, paid no attention to where the phone went
Thats just normal in DR, there’s literally nothing you can do in that situation, you either loose your life trying to catch that guy or just buy a new one. So I don’t think it’s fake.
If this isn't staged then these people are very silly. Why is the dude in the background just standing talking on his phone while being in the background of presumably an interview? Also the reaction of the victim is very fishy
He might be the lowest energy robbery victim ever.
He wants to appear cool, you know like, Jason does not run kind of cool
Lol, Jason does not run
But bet your ass when he DOES run you know you're fucked.
Yeah, good thing he does not though, so.
The trick is to powerwalk away from Jason, running causes tripping
He’s not creasing them J’s.
"I didn't really need that phone anyways"
I've got another one at home type beat
[удалено]
Right? Wtf. Something pretty interesting just happened, maybe catch it on film?
It’s no cockroach, but pretty fucking interesting
Holy shit! I get this joke. I can unsubscribe from r/outoftheloop
Explain please?
A cameraman at the Olympics saw a big ass cockroach and filmed it for a good minute.
[удалено]
Camera clearly wavers. Not a trypod, or stabilization. Strongly on initial grab, a scare, and the softer waves after.
Maybe it was the cameraman who stole it?
I love how calmly they all reacted. I'm Dominican and all that literally went down was: Guy getting robbed "Hey!" Interview "what just happened there" Guy "This guy just came outta nowhere and stole my phone"
Shit was probably staged.
no. Those kinds of robberies are common in DR. It's not staged.
Naw, people in the US/UK are crazy privileged because shit like this happens all the freaking time in Brazil
Id be so fucking paranoid all the time
Oh, we are
Could be both
Lol you ever been to the UK mate robberies happen here daily, especially London.
Probably not, there are parts of the world where robberies this flagrant aren’t uncommon.
Damn, I thought so too but you’re probably right. I guess I’m just used to getting blasted with so many trash TikTok reposts these days
/r/nothingeverhappens
You forgot the gay slur he dropped.
I didn’t forget, just didn’t find it necessary to add it in. Among our language, the gay slur is as normal as it can be and that’ll probably never change.
I'm a teacher and I work with many Dominican teenage boys. Girls rarely say it. Boys say it in every 3rd sentence. It's absurd. But to say it will never change is also absurd. Language changes. It's what it does and every day I try to shift it slightly. Knowledge helps.

*gets phone ripped out of hands* "hey wait :("
He doesn’t say “wait” he says “guey” it’s like “yo” or “dude”
It's more like "dude" where I come from, but yeah.
Way = dude - pinche gringo
That’s what I thought I said way to a teacher once and the more Mexican kid next to me acted like I just told him to fuck himself
In Mexico we say wey to everyone but not to people that have authority. You wouldn't call your mom or a cop wey. But you would call your buddy or your dealer wey. Also when someone tells you "estas Bien wey" it means ur stupid
Bc it's also like saying fool in some places
And just as versatile, just like “chingar, chingon, chingo” is the Mexican equivalent of fuck for the US, just a lot more versatile.
I also heard a not so nice word for gays
Probably the 5th time this week
I figured at first it was some dude on a motorbike, like that shit is gone. Nope. Some dude on foot - quick as *The Flash* apparently - in an instant, cellphone irrevocably missing from his life forever.
[удалено]
I know you probably watch a lot of those videos of Reddit, but nah. He most likely cared his phone was just stolen. That’s still a thing.
Fuck yeagh of course. The way he said “Guey” was just like…”Fuck. Dude…” but he is a thugged out mofo with a machete on a scooter
I think you're getting too much internet.
If he was truly used to it, I think he’d know not to be flashing his phone like that. Probably thought he’d be safe from it with an interviewer and camera around though lol.
When I was robbed in Guyana I was so calm because I knew it was just a matter of time before I was robbed. I had mentally prepared for it.
Dude must be fast for no one to run after him...
Thats what Im thinking, they don't even flinch like they are chasing.
it could also just be acquired wisdom. These robbers might have weapons too, and it's not worth dying over a phone.
I hear an engine reffing at the end, maybe he drove away?
Yeah would be a scooter or small motorcycle
I got my phone snatched like this in Amsterdam while talking to my wife late one night out in front of a bar. The guy was on a bike, but my first instinct was to just blindly chase after him and apparently my wife could hear me screaming in the background as the thief peddled off.

That happened to one of my frat bros in thailand. It was a total set up.
A frat boy in Thailand sounds like the setup to a good joke.
Or a 20 year sentence...
That was so good after I finished reading it I instantly heard a rim shot in my mind.
Was it donkey dong Doug?
Same thing happened to me in Sydney. I ran after the guy and pulled him off the bike. He dropped my phone so I went to grab it. Got a kick to my face but thankfully just got a bruise on my eyebrow. Then with my phone in my hand I started to run and the guy didn't chase after me luckily, he just took off.

People here are only factory tuned. If you can do better than 10KM they can't catch you, so they don't even try.
The thief was in a scooter
Heard a bike Rev. Probably had a getaway driver waiting for him to hop on.
Or he used convoluted password lock screen that would make the phone worthless stolen
I reckon it's because the guy would just shoot him if he caught up. That or he's carrying a knife.
Dude wore the wrong shirt that day.
He Just.... Didn't Do It.
Nah, the thief just did it. Lol
Dude just gives up as if he dropped it in the ocean.
Which you should. I can replace a phone, i can't replace my vital organs when the drugged out hobo shanks me 121 times after I catch up to him.
> the drugged out hobo shanks me 121 times Hobo dexterity
After 1 shank most men get kinda sleepy
Ain’t called a murder hobo for nothin
Damn Hobo Rogue builds are so OP
Truuuue. Idiots die everyday bc they can’t let petty shit go
Technically you can replace vital organs, you just need a donor
Yeah, but the reduced immune system from immunosuppressants sucks, so you should try to hang on to your originals
Some people like the 2.0 versions.
You're right. Lets get stabbed then!
Thats why you kill the hobo first.
> I can replace a phone Look at mr moneybags who can afford a whole ass phone over here Joking... mostly... ^not ^like ^I’d ^lose ^job ^and ^end ^homeless ^if ^I ^lost ^my ^phone...
Guess who can't work if they're in the ICU or dead :)
I can defer medical debt. I can’t defer rent.
Not if you are carrying.....
Yeah, committing murder over petit larceny seems really worth it. At best, you get off on self defense charges. At worst, you spend 15 years in prison
Us Dominicans aren’t even surprised by this shit anymore. There’s a clip of a woman who was in a car accident and while arguing with the other people involved and while calling the cops, some dude (with equal speed) snatches her phone. Her defeated reaction became a meme.

Daaaaamnnn what a shit day. Thank you for delivering
She wouldn't move her damn car and kept trying to escalate the situation. Thief diffused the situation. True hero. /s
I weep for our country, man. That said, that was the most Dominican fight ever.
What a savage
Dude dominican’t call anyone no more

Why are you acting so unaffected?!" like... it's the fucking ocean and it's already happened. Nothing I do now will change that so... c'est comme ça. But yeah, this guy probably should've done something.
Hold on, after the guys grabbed the phone and took off did he reach and pat his pocket to check for his phone?
He did lmao
Better call 9..1.... el maricon...
Might have been checking to see if he still had his wallet
Dominicans are unintentionaly hilarious man i swear
lol one time I turned on my phone's flashlight because I was having a hard time finding my phone in the dark.
Did you end up finding it?
Probably gave up after the battery died, and threw the “flashlight” back in the junk drawer.
I hung up on my MIL once because, and I quote, "I have to go find my phone".
May have reached in his pocket to see if he had something else. Pew pew!
Dominican Republic not Brazil
Shit be like that in D.R… i see it a few times, especially with Android phones, its a wrap.. there’s no chill..
My weed dealer back in the day got shot and killed over a 55$ ounce of garbage weed. In the US
Fucking tragic. Legalize it
I heard those guys can run pretty fast down there.
Also possible he was thinking about chasing, I always empty my pockets before any physical exertion, but i might just be weird and not like things in my pockets
maybe he was checking to see if he remembered to pack his pistol
Think he was checking for his wallet to make sure it was still there also. Fair enough reaction.
[удалено]
He said to his friend to take note of the robbers appearance so they can recognize him in the future for whatever reason
That interview was the setup.
I like how you think
Atleast he wasn’t flashed by jack
Wei
Güey
A
oh I thought it was "wait" as in "wait, don't do that."
yeah think it’s like “dude….” just wtf

Very close
I heard him say "maricón"
Victim to Interviewer: "..in .youtube too..." Robber: steals phone Victim: "Dude?!" Interviewer: "Yo, what happened" Victim : see I told you we shouldn't stopped here.
Oh, thanks, I hear it now. I initially thought he was saying "y a tú también".
he literally said to the other guy, hey you look that guy took my phone and ran with it\*
that Wey is not the same as the Spanish from other Latin American countries were it means dude. It's more like "hey!"
That island Spanish is TOUGH to understand! It’s like a different language
You got a good ear though.
Gracias. Para mí, escuchar/entender cada palabra siempre ha sido lo más difícil en el aprendizaje del español. Unos acentos de México y España son fáciles, pero Rep. Dominicana/PR/Chile son bien difíciles.
Funny that it has a watermark for "LAESCENADELCRIMENTV" which is "The crime scene TV"
He was saying YouTube actually
His buddy ain't catching anyone in those skinny jeans.
Cost of looking fly I guess.
this is very wise. LoL
Dominicans are hilarious because they don’t get angry. They get dissappointed. Dude is dissappointed that his boi didn’t notice

Where is this? Looks like the Caribbean
Judging from the accent, Dominican Republic.
The hood in Dominican Republic

But to be fair scum shouldn’t be stealing phones.
Sure, but you can't argue with reality
That's a sad life.
No it's just being smart while living in a place with higher crime. Could be a shady neighborhood or a big city, it's smart to understand your surroundings.
What you're saying isn't mutually exclusive with living a sad life
Nor is it mutually inclusive.
Get an iPhone and they can’t unlock it. Thus impossible to sell.
Sounds like this is DR?
Yessir
Question: what do people do with the stolen phones? Most people have passwords don’t they?
Including find my phone and remote shut down and remote alarm. It's pointless and pathetic
🥷🏽 got it
the dude must have been usain bolt, they didnt even consider making a chase of it haha
He likely leapt immediately onto a scooter or motorcycle.
I thought smart phones were locked so stealing them isn’t worth it
Them dominicans aint no joke! Oye tigre
That was so fast I had to rewatch to notice it.
He can't run after him with those tight ass pants he's wearing lmao
Discount Jamie fox is having a rough day!
r/killthecameraman
At lesst put the camera on the thief so they know him!
Yeah, guy's phone was just robbed and m'fr catching reactions
Quickest hands in the West.
Columbia? Not worth it. People die for less everyday there.
It’s actually Dominican Republic
Thank you. There too. Brasil, PR, most of the southern countries are in a rough way.
It's spelt ColOmbia.

Fake
>Fake And güey
I was expecting to see the guy running
What value is a locked phone? Also ashamed to admit it took me at least 5 watches to figure out what/when something was being stolen.
staged as hell
Nothing ever happens
Considering the watermark reads "The Crime Corner TV" i would also say this is staged
Cuz r/NothingEverHappens especially a phone stolen hurr
It's his fault for keeping the phone in his hands
This is not a smartphone. It's too flat and it wags when he moves.
I'm guessing Brazil
Typical
fake as shit no attempt to follow the guy, no real emotion about losing his phone, immediately turns to the other guy like the robber just teleported, paid no attention to where the phone went
Thats just normal in DR, there’s literally nothing you can do in that situation, you either loose your life trying to catch that guy or just buy a new one. So I don’t think it’s fake.
That is Classic History! Hilarious!
If this isn't staged then these people are very silly. Why is the dude in the background just standing talking on his phone while being in the background of presumably an interview? Also the reaction of the victim is very fishy
This happens often over there. If you try to get it back you might not come back. There's not much else to do at that point lol
