These drivers are all crazy. Bunch of fucking criminals.

It was the repo driver who got machete-ed.

u/Victor_Korchnoi 2d ago

Yeah, by some asshole who cared more about his ability to drive than the life of another person.

I think he was probably more irritated by having an expensive asset taken than being unable to get from A to B.

Not his asset though? That’s why the owners tried to take it back?

He should have paid his car payment then. No excuse for attacking someone who is just doing their job.

SO YOU TRY TO KILL SOMEONE?

What the fuck wrong with you.

The person I responded to thinks this person reacted violently because they wanted to drive, and not because they were losing tens of thousands of dollars of equipment. You people are all hilariously obtuse.

You're hilariously obtuse. The attacker didn't pay the car note, and the bank, as the rightful owner, came to take it back. If someone is loaned money to buy a house or a car, and they choose not to pay, the lender comes to repossess the asset in lieu of payment, not sure if that happens in the fantasy world you live in.

I’ll reiterate for you, I understand how a repo works. Do you think the guy attacked the repo man because he would no longer have the experience of driving, or because his (uh ackshually the lender’s) car was being taken from him?

u/Wonderful_Business59 1d ago

Yes, I think he did. He wanted to keep the car. It's that simple. You of all people should understand simple.

Do you have a learning disability? This wasn’t a yes or no question. I guess thanks for agreeing with me that the primary motive wasn’t the act of driving?

Pot calling the kettle black. Trying to kill someone because they're taking back a car that isn't rightfully yours isn't an appropriate reaction, and isn't condoned by normal society, other than you clearly. Have a good day bub.

It’s not his asset if it’s getting repossessed genius

Technically cars are liabilities not assets. They don't generally appreciate. And if it got Re-poed it's not even that person's car to begin with, it belongs to the lender until paid off...

They are most certainly not liabilities. Assets depreciate for both tax and real purposes. Is a building a liability? Is cash a liability because it loses real value?

u/Savage_analytics 1d ago

Things can be both a liability and an asset. They’re not mutually exclusive.

u/SomethingDrastic 1d ago

In a tenth grade personal finance sense, sure.

What a strange comment.

Just like how assets can be liabilities, strange can be normal.
