Amazing how many people don't realize that private 911 ambulance companies don't always have stations they can park at located all throughout their coverage area. Some might have to stage, or post up, in parking lots, or on the side of the road. Amazing!
Not even just private ambulances, public 911 ambulances do the same thing. You post up crews around high volume areas and a lot of the time, that's not where the station is. No one looks twice when a police officer is posted in a parking lot somewhere doing paperwork waiting on the inevitable call from one of the nearby neighborhoods. Exact same for ambulance crews.
Amazing how not everybody is an effing genius like you, eh! When can we elect you to be our president? There are lots of things people never consider until it comes up as an isse, say, the media reports another community had an instance where EMTs are misbehaving, so people become hyper vigilant? Naw, lets just make fun of everyone since we consider ourselves the foremost experts on EVERYTHING!
If it makes you feel better, my aunt is a bigwig lawyer and still spent most of her career telling then drive-thru guy "We have got to stop meeting like this..."
They eat there cause its fast food. There is plenty of stories about crews going to "slow food" places, then just have to throw away what they bought cause they got a call.

No. It’s a Type II Ambulance, the kind that are used all over North America. These are used primarily in metro and urban areas because they handle, brake, and accelerate better. Being AMR it’s probably a Leader Ambulance, but what do I know.
Many years ago we had a group of guys play football on Saturdays, 20 somethings full tackle, no gear. This went on for years but eventually guys started getting hurt ... bad. After the third or fourth Saturday an ambulance crew showed up to watch the game we got the message we were getting too old to be doing that.
- They deal drugs. - Wow Sherlock how can you tell? - It's an ambulance. - ..... - That doesn't move much. - ....ehm.... - Well a few kids over there told me this ambulance sells drugs, they swear. - Aha..sure man, let's get you to bed, maybe you need a little rest, are you drunk?
I knew the ambulance that hangs out near my work that happens to be close to two highway exits was up to something! They probably want to be so close to the highway because they can get calls for drugs anywhere in the city!
Story shared by a paramedic friend of mine: Our city is relatively calm (remember that's a good thing!) and there are few jobs for paramedics, and the ones we have often have pretty slow days driving the ambulance around, not having any (or many) calls to respond to. The areas they hang around nearby in because there ARE some calls somewhat regularly also have their share of junkies. The junkies know there are drugs (painkillers) inside the ambulance, so they often approach and try to talk my friend the paramedic into giving them some. Now my friend has a lot of experience, so rather than argue with them, what he does is offer them an injection of saline (salt-water mix used to hydrate people) without saying outright what it is (better to let them imagine their own guess). They take the shot, smile big and say how they can feel it's working already, and walk away happy, while he bites his lip, trying not to laugh (then moves the ambulance somewhere else).
The way he says "Nobody is above the law" in that smug way makes me think that this is the kind of guy who would put on a uniform to become a neighbourhood watchman, walk down the road with a big stick, just waiting for the smallest transgression to be the big man and tell someone off because "this is a quiet neighbourhood!". And when the cops would show up, to immediately walk up and say "No worries officer, I got this!"
Tell me about it!! I once was following this squad car that was supposedly going to work and the officer just pulled over on the side of the road and just sat there!!!!!
It's kind of like the people who would comment to event medics "you don't look very busy." "Well, that's a good thing" or "would you like to think about what it means for us to be busy" reply usually makes them stop & think. Then slink away.
isn't that kind of the point of an ambulance? to be AVAILABLE so when an actual emergency accurs they will be free and able to come and assist? does he realize that if all ambulances are occupied 100% of the time it means that there aren't enough ambulances and if he needs help then no help will come??
Well I never got mad at an EMT for being at the grocery store...I idid meet one by happen stance in the store after getting 10 wasp sings on my hand. He recommended a ton of Benadryl and told me to watch it closely. I was fine after.
TBF, when I was in high school on a military base, the CID would regularly come interrogate the bad kids who would hang out across the street to smoke. That said, I'm pretty sure they knew that nearly everything we said was bullshit and they were just doing due diligence. (also, I was neither a bad kid, nor did I smoke. I just wanted to fit in with the other depressed kids. Fucking high school, right?)
Here we can see the burnt out paramedic in its natural habitat. When spooked by a citizen asking why they are asleep behind a 7-11 at 3am, they will yell "System Status Management" repeatedly while slinking off into the dark.
Can confirm. Ambulances deal the BEST drugs on the market. I once got a history lesson on why they use the staff of Asclepius on the back during the convenient ride they gave me Though the $6,000+ bill that shows up sooner after isn't worth it. 4/10 .. don't recommend. Prices are just waayy too high
2:03 I live next to a senior citizen / disability, section 8 building, just filled with 'frequent flyers' and there's always at least one ambulance parked in the city park across the street,if there's not a unit parked there, it's because they're at the building, and another unit hasn't gotten out there yet
A crew is dealing drugs out of their ambulance? Are they the EMTs working for the José C Paz county major in Buenos Aires, Argentina? Real Life Story. No bull.
The 3:15 train to the Hospital? What if it's 10:05? That could be too late! Of course, this is why I make sure to have donuts on hand at all times... that way when my inevitable cardiac event tries to take me in the middle of something I can't comment on UA-cam without getting banned, the EMS team has a nice reward after they get my oversized carcass down the stairs and over to the hospital. I'm pretty sure my last words will be, "The donuts in the kitchen are for you."
I can not think of a worse vehicle to deal illegal substances out of than an ambulance. High profile government vehicle often seen with police where anything that is in the vehicle is supposed to stay in the vehicle? You'd be better off using a public bus.
A guy I hung out with bought Drugs at a club from a guy dressed as a "S@#y Nurse", does that count as a Ambulance driver selling drugs?... I mean, he was dressed like a "Nurse".
This may prove whats wrong with Arkansas ambulances they only chill at hospitals never seen any of them just circling. Maybe cause we have hospitals loke McDonald's around here. Every few blocks
Years ago when I worked in taxi dispatch we had some random ring to complain about a taxi parked on a public street with driver in it. It had been there for about 5 minutes. Why was it stopped? The driver was on the phone 🤔🤔
AMR doesn’t have a great reputation round where I’m from. I know it’s different through different parts of the country. That being said I doubt that this is happening, but it also be fair to say that it seems like everyone has a side hustle to make ends meet and that some side hustle are pretty damn shady.
My mailman does this same thing. Spends the entire day just cruising up and down the streets. When he can’t find a buyer he’ll just cruise over to the next neighborhood. I watched him once at a house just sitting talking to the homeowner. He wasn’t even pulled up to the mailbox. That’s proof he’s doing more than just delivering the mail!!!!!!!
@@jonathanmerritt3957 I get Amazon packages a lot at the beginning of the month when I get paid. I wonder if the mailman thinks I'm ordering drugs? 🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣
The kids on my high school thought I was gay and cheating on my girlfriend with two boys (my brothers) because I said hi to the girl once in the hallways and handed one of my brothers his lunch which he had forgotten at home. What I’m trying to say, is that high school teenagers are anything BUT reliable.
I had high school kids believing I was gay, because I had my work pants tucked into my socks. I liked them that way because when cutting waist high grass, I didn't want critters climbing up my legs.
As someone who works in transport I can confidently say that about fifty percent of our job is letting the ambulance idle. Regardless of whether or not we're staging for a call
That's how my company started out. 3 calls a day, 12 hour scheduled shift, 3 hours downtime minimum and go EOS at 11 hours. My station manager was the BEST manager I ever had. He looked out for his crews and treated us well while keeping management in check Then the CEO hired a marketing director without hiring more people for more rigs out daily. They had scheduled an additional 30 calls (on top of around 30 plus any ER calls) for no additional crews (15 rigs average) Our calls went from 3 a day to 7! No downtime was allowed. No food break (that became a class action lawsuit), 24 - 48 hour shifts were denied their allocated sleep time (another lawsuit), Dispatch harassed nearly every crew once a day because our customers would call asking why we're late. And we were guaranteed working for 14 hours Out of 12 and dispatch would ask "can you do me a favor and run one more? When my manager quit, everyone at that station quit as well. I know 2 crews that heard he quit and resigned on the spot. 2 of them EOSing themselves and going home mid shift.
Plus, possibly getting a few seconds of sleep before all hell breaks lose. Do you think they'll administer normal saline, or half normal saline to that guy? You know, an EMT once took out their phone and started recording me in public.
When the kids told him, they probably saw him as an idiot and decided to be extremely sarcastic. Hell, back when I was in high school, I would mess with people like this just to see how much you can get their heads to spin.
You fuck with them? I stay the hell away! Don't want crazy motherfuckers thinking I got the inside scoop and always coming to me for another hit of the "truth".
It's pretty common in many places to see an ambulance "just sitting" somewhere. Here in the Netherlands, ambulances are supposed to arrive on-scene within 15 minutes from the moment someone calls the emergency number in at least 95% of cases. So whenever one or more ambulances are out on a call, it can happen that a certain area falls outside of the maximum response time for the remaining available ambulances. In which case one or more ambulances will take up a position such that they remain able to respond quickly.
There are also transport ambulances with somewhat normal time tables who don't drive with blue lights and sirens bc they dont respond to emergencies (just dialysis, chemo, docs appointments for ppl that need to be carried down stairs or have to be on a stretcher for transport, home/rehab transfers, care facility transfers, hospital transfers, hospital to outside doc transfers e.g. dentist, ...) and get this they don't need to return to any station as long as they are on time at their next pick up location. (I work in transport the amount of times we're just randomly sat on a curb somewhere bc we don't wanna spend the time driving back to station when were already almost at our next pick up place is staggering.) Side hustle exposed or sth I guess🤣 *And no parking at the hospital ambulance entrance is not allowed the space is already cramped af even after they made a separate one for non urgent transport. As soon as you're done you have to leave (if you even still can and no one else parked you in bc there wasnt any space or they cant read and think this is the urgent entrance) Applicable at all hospitals in an about 30 -45 min radius, some further away have a better handle on that but we dont go there as often as its outside our response zone. Technically only one place (pick up or drop off) needs to be in our zone but not many ppl go over an hour away regularly except to see a specialist or for rehab.
yup, our service calls that "post assignments" which we go to an area to wait for our next call. Sometimes we'll hover around that area or get something to eat (that is IF we get to that area at all, we cover alot of ground)
Some departments use computer programs that use algorithms to determine where they should park, to be closest to where accidents will occur, to have the lowest response times.
Omg, my boyfriend said that a group of college girls kept his station of firefighters up until 5am on a recent shift by pulling the same fire alarm 3 different times, so they locked them out of their dorms until 530 and went and got donuts afterwards 😂
It's illegal to abuse fire alarms and after the second time of them not learning while attending a place of "higher learning" would get them new room assignments at county lockup.
Yep, done that before. Nothing like emptying a high rise dorm at 2 in the morning on a 20 degree night... Firefighters can take practical jokes to a pure form of art....
In Germany, if you were caught pulling a false alarm with the firefighters then you are fined a 1000 dollars out of pocket per call. Maybe America should do the same?
As a dispatcher, I hate people like this. Right up there with the time I got a call from someone who wanted to report my officer for speeding on a road. With lights and Sirens! He was mad because "no one is above the law!"
Yet when they need help they'd lose it if the officer said "Well you see sir it took me 35 minutes to get here because speed limit is 35mph through town and wouldn't you know I hit every red light! Just cuz I wear this badge doesn't put me above the law." Uhg! Some people! I'm so sorry you have to deal with them.
I DID call in once and slightly complain about a sheriff's officer doing about 110 mph down a 4 lane freeway weaving through traffic, with NO LIGHTS ON. He blew right past me just as I was getting ready to change lanes, and I almost took him out. My request was that if they were going that fast, that they turn some lights on to warn us! And I let them know I was happy they were doing something very important, but they would have lost if I had completed my lane change.... They had the supervisor call me later, and we had a nice conversation, and I told him I know they have policies and training, and maybe they have found it's safer to go no lights because people are unpredictable when they see lights suddenly, but it needs to be balanced against the risk of someone glancing in the mirror and seeing no one near, and then cutting them off, not expecting a 110 mph car!
And what is funny about that is that if that person actually knew the law they would know that it is actually legal for emergency vehicles to travel above the posted speed limit as long as they have audible and visual (lights and sirens) warnings. Of course they must do so safely but still.
@@inconnu4961 I wasn't complaining about the privileges of others, I was informing the supervisor that one of his men almost died in a fiery crash into the side of a semi truck because he was traveling at extreme speed with no warning lights on to alert of his presence. And I say that as someone who used to drive with lights and sirens and had the evoc training. Zipping past other drivers at more than double their speed is just not safe, and there was no need to do it without lights on, so it was the lack of warning lights that I was alerting them about, not the 110 mile an hour speed, since I am used to law enforcement passing me that fast on the freeway, but not at night with no warning lights weaving through traffic!
Investigative journalism is important work too! The guy in this video just needs to start investigating what he is smoking a little more before he starts following ambulances around town.
I completely agree! Some people are so stupid, you can't even follow their train of thought, A and B have literally nothing connecting each other. This guy feels like a 1st Amendment Frauditor waiting to happen...

Yeah, every time I feel like I'm trash I can just look at people like this and get a confidence boost. On the flip side I also get depressed knowing these people are all around me.
To add to the ambulance stopping at STOP sign: "or they just don't feel like testing the durability of their vehicle by driving it straight into traffic"
Nobody is above the law… You know he got the warm fuzzies from finally being able to say that. He’s been practicing in front of the mirror for a long time…

White Lightening in my IV bag would have resulted in a much more enjoyable hospital stay. 😅😅😅
It wouldn't surprise me if he bought a broken ambulance at an auction, trailered it around, and videoed it for a viral video. Never saw it move
Perhaps the private owned ambulance companies need to be regulated more..I've seen a few sketchy ones.
He offered me painkillers sir!
Here we can see the burnt out paramedic in its natural habitat. When spooked by a citizen asking why they are asleep behind a 7-11 at 3am, they will yell "System Status Management" repeatedly while slinking off into the dark.
Yeah. We had an old lady come up and start yelling at us to do our jobs when we were eating/staging.... 😤🙄. We got a call then... eating time over...

If the guy was so curious he could just ask.
Can confirm. Ambulances deal the BEST drugs on the market. I once got a history lesson on why they use the staff of Asclepius on the back during the convenient ride they gave me
Though the $6,000+ bill that shows up sooner after isn't worth it. 4/10 .. don't recommend. Prices are just waayy too high
2:03 I live next to a senior citizen / disability, section 8 building, just filled with 'frequent flyers' and there's always at least one ambulance parked in the city park across the street,if there's not a unit parked there, it's because they're at the building, and another unit hasn't gotten out there yet
A crew is dealing drugs out of their ambulance? Are they the EMTs working for the José C Paz county major in Buenos Aires, Argentina?
Real Life Story. No bull.
The 3:15 train to the Hospital? What if it's 10:05? That could be too late! Of course, this is why I make sure to have donuts on hand at all times... that way when my inevitable cardiac event tries to take me in the middle of something I can't comment on UA-cam without getting banned, the EMS team has a nice reward after they get my oversized carcass down the stairs and over to the hospital. I'm pretty sure my last words will be, "The donuts in the kitchen are for you."
I can not think of a worse vehicle to deal illegal substances out of than an ambulance. High profile government vehicle often seen with police where anything that is in the vehicle is supposed to stay in the vehicle? You'd be better off using a public bus.
Way is a random adult man talking to random high-school students?
It is a good thing if the ambulance is just hanging around doing nothing, it means there isn't any medical emergencies going on.
Getting some Angry Cop vibes here. Subbed.
I've also seen some odd behavior from the trucks labeled "City" and the dudes are all part of a gang (i think) because they all wear orange.
i suspect my roomba,he is just crusing thru my house.....all day long
A guy I hung out with bought Drugs at a club from a guy dressed as a "S@#y Nurse", does that count as a Ambulance driver selling drugs?... I mean, he was dressed like a "Nurse".
This may prove whats wrong with Arkansas ambulances they only chill at hospitals never seen any of them just circling. Maybe cause we have hospitals loke McDonald's around here. Every few blocks
I wonder what would happen if the two paramedics jumped out grabbed this guy and did a blood test on them🤠
Years ago when I worked in taxi dispatch we had some random ring to complain about a taxi parked on a public street with driver in it. It had been there for about 5 minutes. Why was it stopped? The driver was on the phone 🤔🤔
@Fire Department Chronicles
I have a question. Have you ever had a medical emergency that you saw when you happened to be in an area?
I mean... it would be a pretty damn good cover....
I DID, call for segregation in the state of New York. The American Civil War ended in 1865. Severe escapee's in my State of Ohio.
I mean.. technically, they're dealing out... Aspirin.. nitro...albutertol.... And the absolute worst.. OXYGEN
The devils lettuce 🥬!!! Dead !!!!!!!!
"Drugs was being dealt."
Yeah, he lost any and all credibility right there from the start.

Some doctors are far worse drug dealers than you local weed dealer. EMTs are just First Responders and very important.
AMR doesn’t have a great reputation round where I’m from. I know it’s different through different parts of the country. That being said I doubt that this is happening, but it also be fair to say that it seems like everyone has a side hustle to make ends meet and that some side hustle are pretty damn shady.
I wouldn't be surprised if those high schoolers were just messing with that guy
My mailman does this same thing. Spends the entire day just cruising up and down the streets. When he can’t find a buyer he’ll just cruise over to the next neighborhood. I watched him once at a house just sitting talking to the homeowner. He wasn’t even pulled up to the mailbox. That’s proof he’s doing more than just delivering the mail!!!!!!!
He says Amazon is dealing drugs too in the original video
😂😂
@@jonathanmerritt3957 I get Amazon packages a lot at the beginning of the month when I get paid. I wonder if the mailman thinks I'm ordering drugs? 🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣
I think amazon was exploring online pharmacy services.
Lmfao
The kids on my high school thought I was gay and cheating on my girlfriend with two boys (my brothers) because I said hi to the girl once in the hallways and handed one of my brothers his lunch which he had forgotten at home.
What I’m trying to say, is that high school teenagers are anything BUT reliable.
I had high school kids believing I was gay, because I had my work pants tucked into my socks. I liked them that way because when cutting waist high grass, I didn't want critters climbing up my legs.
@@kittehgo kids are wild man, lol
Kids come up with the weirdest things. Sometimes they can be right, but most of the time they're not.
@Harrison Gist Not in the least, as i didn't have any boots. Tucking my pants into my socks was the best solution :)
That's just what someone who's having gay threesomes would say!
As someone who works in transport I can confidently say that about fifty percent of our job is letting the ambulance idle. Regardless of whether or not we're staging for a call
That's how my company started out. 3 calls a day, 12 hour scheduled shift, 3 hours downtime minimum and go EOS at 11 hours.
My station manager was the BEST manager I ever had. He looked out for his crews and treated us well while keeping management in check
Then the CEO hired a marketing director without hiring more people for more rigs out daily. They had scheduled an additional 30 calls (on top of around 30 plus any ER calls) for no additional crews (15 rigs average) Our calls went from 3 a day to 7! No downtime was allowed. No food break (that became a class action lawsuit), 24 - 48 hour shifts were denied their allocated sleep time (another lawsuit), Dispatch harassed nearly every crew once a day because our customers would call asking why we're late. And we were guaranteed working for 14 hours Out of 12 and dispatch would ask "can you do me a favor and run one more?
When my manager quit, everyone at that station quit as well. I know 2 crews that heard he quit and resigned on the spot. 2 of them EOSing themselves and going home mid shift.
@@wingponymedic2360 supposedly that's kind of how my company was a few years ago. But they take pretty good care of us now.
@@wingponymedic2360a good old fashion classic of getting a new clueless boss and they acting like your slaves that can be over worked.
Plus, possibly getting a few seconds of sleep before all hell breaks lose. Do you think they'll administer normal saline, or half normal saline to that guy? You know, an EMT once took out their phone and started recording me in public.
Oooo not good for your EGR cooler letting it idle you better shut that thing off haha
When the kids told him, they probably saw him as an idiot and decided to be extremely sarcastic. Hell, back when I was in high school, I would mess with people like this just to see how much you can get their heads to spin.
yeah i agree with you
You fuck with them? I stay the hell away! Don't want crazy motherfuckers thinking I got the inside scoop and always coming to me for another hit of the "truth".
Same here.
Totally would have trolled the asshole.
They could have been more realistic and told him that the ice cream man is a drug dealer.
It's pretty common in many places to see an ambulance "just sitting" somewhere. Here in the Netherlands, ambulances are supposed to arrive on-scene within 15 minutes from the moment someone calls the emergency number in at least 95% of cases. So whenever one or more ambulances are out on a call, it can happen that a certain area falls outside of the maximum response time for the remaining available ambulances. In which case one or more ambulances will take up a position such that they remain able to respond quickly.
There are also transport ambulances with somewhat normal time tables who don't drive with blue lights and sirens bc they dont respond to emergencies (just dialysis, chemo, docs appointments for ppl that need to be carried down stairs or have to be on a stretcher for transport, home/rehab transfers, care facility transfers, hospital transfers, hospital to outside doc transfers e.g. dentist, ...) and get this they don't need to return to any station as long as they are on time at their next pick up location. (I work in transport the amount of times we're just randomly sat on a curb somewhere bc we don't wanna spend the time driving back to station when were already almost at our next pick up place is staggering.) Side hustle exposed or sth I guess🤣
*And no parking at the hospital ambulance entrance is not allowed the space is already cramped af even after they made a separate one for non urgent transport. As soon as you're done you have to leave (if you even still can and no one else parked you in bc there wasnt any space or they cant read and think this is the urgent entrance) Applicable at all hospitals in an about 30 -45 min radius, some further away have a better handle on that but we dont go there as often as its outside our response zone. Technically only one place (pick up or drop off) needs to be in our zone but not many ppl go over an hour away regularly except to see a specialist or for rehab.
yup, our service calls that "post assignments" which we go to an area to wait for our next call. Sometimes we'll hover around that area or get something to eat (that is IF we get to that area at all, we cover alot of ground)
legit.
They sitting, hiding from their superiors and other crews. But always in good spots to receive calls.
Some departments use computer programs that use algorithms to determine where they should park, to be closest to where accidents will occur, to have the lowest response times.
Omg, my boyfriend said that a group of college girls kept his station of firefighters up until 5am on a recent shift by pulling the same fire alarm 3 different times, so they locked them out of their dorms until 530 and went and got donuts afterwards 😂
I approve of this tactic.
It's illegal to abuse fire alarms and after the second time of them not learning while attending a place of "higher learning" would get them new room assignments at county lockup.
Yep, done that before. Nothing like emptying a high rise dorm at 2 in the morning on a 20 degree night...
Firefighters can take practical jokes to a pure form of art....
In Germany, if you were caught pulling a false alarm with the firefighters then you are fined a 1000 dollars out of pocket per call. Maybe America should do the same?
@@ffjsb I can see the finer points of that joke...
As a dispatcher, I hate people like this. Right up there with the time I got a call from someone who wanted to report my officer for speeding on a road. With lights and Sirens! He was mad because "no one is above the law!"
Yet when they need help they'd lose it if the officer said "Well you see sir it took me 35 minutes to get here because speed limit is 35mph through town and wouldn't you know I hit every red light! Just cuz I wear this badge doesn't put me above the law." Uhg! Some people! I'm so sorry you have to deal with them.
I DID call in once and slightly complain about a sheriff's officer doing about 110 mph down a 4 lane freeway weaving through traffic, with NO LIGHTS ON.
He blew right past me just as I was getting ready to change lanes, and I almost took him out.
My request was that if they were going that fast, that they turn some lights on to warn us! And I let them know I was happy they were doing something very important, but they would have lost if I had completed my lane change....
They had the supervisor call me later, and we had a nice conversation, and I told him I know they have policies and training, and maybe they have found it's safer to go no lights because people are unpredictable when they see lights suddenly, but it needs to be balanced against the risk of someone glancing in the mirror and seeing no one near, and then cutting them off, not expecting a 110 mph car!
And what is funny about that is that if that person actually knew the law they would know that it is actually legal for emergency vehicles to travel above the posted speed limit as long as they have audible and visual (lights and sirens) warnings. Of course they must do so safely but still.
@@ke6gwf Hear all these experts in here? You have NO right to complain about others privileges!
@@inconnu4961 I wasn't complaining about the privileges of others, I was informing the supervisor that one of his men almost died in a fiery crash into the side of a semi truck because he was traveling at extreme speed with no warning lights on to alert of his presence.
And I say that as someone who used to drive with lights and sirens and had the evoc training.
Zipping past other drivers at more than double their speed is just not safe, and there was no need to do it without lights on, so it was the lack of warning lights that I was alerting them about, not the 110 mile an hour speed, since I am used to law enforcement passing me that fast on the freeway, but not at night with no warning lights weaving through traffic!
"when people go to work they go to work"

Investigative journalism is important work too! The guy in this video just needs to start investigating what he is smoking a little more before he starts following ambulances around town.
Reminds me of the karens who are busy trying to micromanage everyones lives.

It is distressing how often these days I have to say to myself "I am literally not stupid enough to comprehend this."
I completely agree! Some people are so stupid, you can't even follow their train of thought, A and B have literally nothing connecting each other. This guy feels like a 1st Amendment Frauditor waiting to happen...
I'm not stupid enough to comprehend these bots

Yeah, every time I feel like I'm trash I can just look at people like this and get a confidence boost.
On the flip side I also get depressed knowing these people are all around me.
It hurts
To add to the ambulance stopping at STOP sign:
"or they just don't feel like testing the durability of their vehicle by driving it straight into traffic"
He, they would have the fastest arrival time ever.
Not to mention as he said it a car went by! Like really you want them to just pull out into traffic cuz you showed up?! smh!
Him: there arent even any cars around.
2 cars drive by.
@@thewhitewolf58 The 2 cars: "We're about to end this man's whole career."
Nobody is above the law… You know he got the warm fuzzies from finally being able to say that. He’s been practicing in front of the mirror for a long time…
Yes and quite possibly has been watching far too many old westerns to feed into his delusional "I'm a lawman too" mindset.
Probably looking forward to the event of his week, reporting to the "how's my driving" number.
