Poll: Mall Cops Fired for Hillarious Security Vid...

[wandererbkb]

It is funny. However you do not have authority as a security guard to film security footage and put it on the internet. That is quite clear, and the only thing they could expect if discovered would be punishment. Which is what they got. I personally would have given written warnings, not fired anyone.

If you feel you must post it then don't say where it was filmed and don't speak over the video you make. Of course if there is a camera in the security room they could get you with that, so that's something you need to think about.

You have to go by the letter of the rules and you just can't put videos of stuff like this on the internet and expect not to be punished if you are identified as the person responsible. Sad but true.

Doesn't Fox news and Cnn do this anytime the President messes up? And all the major papers...and comedians...

She might not be a "public figure" well least till she did that stunt not paying attention. Now your part of the internet hall o fame.

Nope, the bloody bimbo should have been looking where she was going. It's like the home video shows, funny mistakes that stupid people make!

I have a question, what precisely makes her a "bloody bimbo"? That's quite an assumption about her personal life, so unless you know precisely who she is, I would argue it's a statement you can't make. I've seen some very intelligent people walk into things because they were distracted from where they're putting their feet. Some very chaste people as well.

Did I read this right, Several people are claiming this chick also has 5 felony charges or something. Not only did she make a fool of herself but she decides to show herself on tv. LOL this chick is fucking idiotic. She's trying to make a buck off this and shes a criminal. Good luck with the lawsuit... ***** HAHA XD

 

[Gindil]

The only thing hurt was her ego.

She caused her own accident.

I feel not sorry for her in the slightest. I'm laughing too hard!

 

[teebeeohh]

for some reason i can hardly ever laugh about this kind of video but this is fucking hilarious.
still they shouldn't have.

 

[Rpground]

I wonder how long it will take for a certain Chan to take this and run with it.

Besides videos like this are common.


I don't see either of these people suing and the quality is a lot better.

This wouldn't have happened if she was Machete, because we all know that:

Okay, fine, I'm making an assumption.
However, texting in a mall, where there are various big things you can bump into and not bothering to look around... well, it's not the smartest thing ever.

 

[Reaper195]

That was priceless. You couldn't see who the woman was, and it would seem neither did the mall cops. In fact, the only person who would know who it was would be the woman herself. Things like this prove that the woman is fucking stupid.

 

[Nouw]

I have no idea what the powers/authority a Mall Cop has, but firing is a tad to too harsh and posting it is just being a dick.

Sure anyone could have recorded it (although I'm betting no one did) but they took advantage of their 'power.'

Firing is too harsh, but not doing anything would have been worse.

And please don't tell me to brighten up, humour is subjective. If I don't laugh at it, that's how I see it.

Her actions towards this issue and her inability to comprehend how things work suggest to me that she is an idiot. If 'bimbo' means idiot then yeah, I can see where this guy is coming from.

I'm sure you're not just arcing up because 'bimbo' is an insult addressed exclusively at women.

Here's a weird bit of trivia: "bimbo" is a Japanese word meaning "poor" or broke. Maybe hazabaza was calling her poor? I know he wasn't, he was calling her an airhead for not seeing the fountain.

 

[Blind Sight]

I see no problem with it, it's impossible to see her face or identify her, they recorded it after the event, and weren't using the actual footage, merely recording the screen that the footage ran on. Abuse of power? No. Pretty funny? Yes.

 

[RatRace123]

Since when is stupidity a grounds for other people's punishment and court cases.

Oh wait... it always is.

Bimbo, at least in my experience, is akin to 'stupid slut'. And no, I'm not. I would have asked if the individual in question were male and he said 'ruddy stupid manwhore'.
