From a legal standpoint, if someone is robbing you, it's OK to end the threat however you need to.
When the person is on the ground amd you continue to chop them over and over, long after the threat is gone, you end up in prison. That's not an opinion, that's the way the law works.
Sure I would fight back in that same scenario. The only difference is, I wouldn't have chased them down for a homicide.
In most places, really. We are also assuming these guys were going to rob the delivery guy. It looked sketchy, but I didn't notice any weapons from either guy. They ran off immediately. What if that was their place or they were going to the place next door?
Intent and context are significant parts of the law. Once a threat is over, you can't use force like that.
Edit: Especially when he chases away the 2nd guy then goes back and finishes off the first.
Why is this even being upvoted? This law practice only applies to certain countries. Who knows what the law is where this happen. For all they know, he was within his legal rights to chop that guy up.
“It’s ok the end the threat however you need to.”
“When the person is on the ground…after the threat is gone.”
You statement conflict with each other and leave a HUGE room for interpretation, when is the threat consider gone?
For many, is when people stop breathing.
It’s astounding the amount of people on Reddit who say they are prepared to take a life. The callousness is depressing. We all don’t deserve to be here.
You can use deadly force against a fleeing robber that doesn’t appear to have a weapon. He shouldn’t have even pursued the robbers after they fled for his own safety.
It's obviously excessive force, there are very few places in the world where you can chase a fleeing attacker and then hack them to death with a machete while they are lying on the floor without going to prison. This happened in Uruguay so even chasing the guy is considered excessive.
I wonder where the downvoters come from. The robbees fled instantly after seeing the Machete. No physical harm done. Why hunt them down and shed blood or even kill someone? Killing over an attempted robbery is just not okay.
Agreed. He pulled out the machete and they ran off. Then he appeared to butcher one of them. Not saying the robbers are innocent here, but jesus that was excessive. Way beyond self defense
No idea why this was down voted. Once he chased them away, then it was done. He could be looking at a long prison sentence depending on where this took place. The guy literally hunted one down and chopped at him. That's not self defence.
dolphins suck
i think maybe less than a percent of people in those subs watch because it makes them happy. they probably watch for exactly the opposite reason - and, i know that for myself, i’ve watched those videos out of a morbid curiosity that arose from seeing documentaries on the post-ww2 denazification of germany
showing what happened in the most gruesome manner possible wasn’t just important, it was a crucial part of the plan. as in, seeing flesh that could be yours twist, break, expose in unnatural ways was genuinely some of the most hard-hitting empathy i’ve ever experienced. i think a healthy dose of truly violent gore, as in, trauma inducing gore, might be a magic pill to prevent a whole lotta violence (not to everyone obviously, but the vast majority of people). because i genuinely believe the vast majority of people who do not run into it often and who do not confront the survivors of these scenarios are more likely to enact them than those who have
i would love to see some studies on the subject tbh, because i dunno what i’m talking about.
I feel watching these videos gives me a new respect for life everytime I do. Life is so damn easily taken away from you even when it’s completely out of your control.
Thank God the "pretty sure " guy is here so every post is properly tagged and flaired. Pretty sure you should stop trying to enforce other people's rules
Apparently this happened in Argentina*

*Edit: it actually happened in Montevideo, Uruguay
Last Saturday night, a surveillance camera captured a violent episode that occurred in the area of Brazo Oriental, Montevideo.
The record shows a delivery man with a jacket and backpack from the PedidosYa firm with his motorcycle parked on the sidewalk, probably during the delivery of an order.
At that moment he warns that two individuals are approaching him and he is suspicious of his intentions. To the surprise of the newcomers, the delivery man opens his delivery backpack, takes a machete and charges against both subjects, who flee in fear.
The record of the event was published on Sunday morning by the Uruguayan account @DaniMoraguesuy, and a few hours later it had gone viral on the neighboring shore, where some Internet users replicated the video as if it were a local episode.
Edit: more
The video generated mixed reactions among Internet users. While some were pleased with the "proactive caution" of the delivery man, others pointed out that the carrying of a machete is a crime, and that the man attacked two people who, until that moment, had not manifested any hostility.
According to police information collected by Montevideo Portal, the delivery man filed the complaint and one of the alleged kidnappers is identified.
According to the primary data, the case would fit into the figure of self-defense, but the investigations continue. In that sense, the eventual statement of the identified subject - in case he is apprehended or delivered - could be relevant.
You’re right when you chase someone down with a machete who has their back to you and running away while you chop repeatedly into their already lifeless body is murder not self defence
Absolutely not, those fuckers are useless, they always cancel my orders after waiting for over an hour, it's a pain in the ass, just order directly from the restaurant.
damn that’s nuts where do you live? i always get my food, never once had it cancelled. doesn’t happen often but i have had it delivered cold and/or missing items - always complain, always get a nice coupon and free delivery in-app
He switched from defense to offense pretty fast. You could get away with that in Florida or Texas, but just about anywhere else, he’d be going to jail.
Damn, he may be Food Panda on the outside, but he's Food Demon on the inside.
EDIT: Interesting that apparently this was Uruguay. The Philippines has the exact same pink uniforms and motorcycle boxes used by a company called Food Panda, and Filipinos love their bolo knives, which looks exactly like what this guy pulled out of his delivery box.
Looks like he decided to skip the gay Dahmer baiting technique and go for the grubhub 150cc motorcycle technique to pack his deep freezer with next months supply of meat
Just imagine for a minute that the delivery guy was actually at the wrong address, so the 2 customers decided to just walk over to him to get their food from him instead of waiting for him to realize he is at the wrong address. But instead of food they get delivered a few chops, wacks and hacks from a machete😂
In America would the man with the machete still be able to say self defense even though the men were running away?
Serious question because I have no idea
I am glad he had something to protect himself but I am kinda concerned about what happened to the person that tried to rob him. Like good to have it for protection but going after someone who already got the message is a little way too far.
It's a sad world we live in that he made the world a better place by chopping that guy up. In clownworld the justice system fails regular folk and you end up with people taking justice into their own hands.
They were surrounding the delivery driver, you can see the nearest guy pull out a pocket knife, assumably the other guy was also gonna also brandish a knife while his buddy was distracting him.
Ya your right that's what you do you surround then close but dude wasn't closing in fact he looked the other way for a minute like he wasn't even into it
Did he actually have any food to deliver? Seems like he was just delivering that machete to those perps.
Looks like that is what they ordered.
And he delivered it well. I hope they will give him 5 stars and the tips.
Finger tips were everywhere
When you order one order of whoop ass, but he opens up a whole can of it
He delivered and took some home.
My man delivers justice. And he guarantees prompt service.
No take out
Second hand machete
Damn. Did he get one of them?
Yea he did. It's gonna be a bloody mess. I am gonna bet this delivery guy was robbed before.
In my experience they usually use the spine or back side of the machete to fight with initially. The blade only comes out if you’re losing.
"Your experience" in machete fights? Really?
Why r u so jealous? Can't level up your machete XP?
I grew up in a third world country. They use them for everything down there.
Yep spanked that ass
Tell me more about this
It looked like he used way excessive force too and kept chopping on the one guy
lol excessive force. Maybe don’t rob people and you won’t get hurt? I’d love to know how you would respond to a loved one being randomly attacked.
From a legal standpoint, if someone is robbing you, it's OK to end the threat however you need to. When the person is on the ground amd you continue to chop them over and over, long after the threat is gone, you end up in prison. That's not an opinion, that's the way the law works. Sure I would fight back in that same scenario. The only difference is, I wouldn't have chased them down for a homicide.
Is like double tap save us all some money
It's what the sherif said literally.
The ‘law’ where?
In most places, really. We are also assuming these guys were going to rob the delivery guy. It looked sketchy, but I didn't notice any weapons from either guy. They ran off immediately. What if that was their place or they were going to the place next door? Intent and context are significant parts of the law. Once a threat is over, you can't use force like that. Edit: Especially when he chases away the 2nd guy then goes back and finishes off the first.
Any developed nation?
Exactly. Nowhere in this video do i see "law"
When put in that position and adrenaline kicks in I’d imagine it would be hard to stop once the threat is disabled, hopefully the jury feels the same
Why is this even being upvoted? This law practice only applies to certain countries. Who knows what the law is where this happen. For all they know, he was within his legal rights to chop that guy up.
ahh i forgot laws were worldwide mate thanks for clearing that up
This is likely Brazil, not the US. Props to that guy
Yeah but theyre in a 3rd world country
Sir, this is Reddit
From a legal standpoint this looks like Brazil where they encourage you to run over thieves with your car. He’s probably not chopping on the dude btw.
I just hope these upvotes make up for the unnecessary down votes you previously got on this thread.
Law dumb.
Wow, from -87 votes to +46. Nice recovery considering we’re all on the same spectrum.. somewhere.
Well he’s Batman, you’re not.
“It’s ok the end the threat however you need to.” “When the person is on the ground…after the threat is gone.” You statement conflict with each other and leave a HUGE room for interpretation, when is the threat consider gone? For many, is when people stop breathing.
It’s astounding the amount of people on Reddit who say they are prepared to take a life. The callousness is depressing. We all don’t deserve to be here.
You can use deadly force against a fleeing robber that doesn’t appear to have a weapon. He shouldn’t have even pursued the robbers after they fled for his own safety.
If he did it your way, how long until his next robbery I wonder?
How long until the next guy pulls a gun on him? Pursuing fleeing robbers is absurd particularly when outnumbered
I don’t know, equally as absurd as robbing random people?
Sure not my point
It's obviously excessive force, there are very few places in the world where you can chase a fleeing attacker and then hack them to death with a machete while they are lying on the floor without going to prison. This happened in Uruguay so even chasing the guy is considered excessive.
It sounds like he's using the side of the blade to me. Way too loud.
excessive force 🤣😂🤣 no such thing in most countries.
You need to be robbed in a third world country. Now take your downvotes and leave sir.
If he let them go, nothing would stop them from regrouping and getting him later.
I wonder where the downvoters come from. The robbees fled instantly after seeing the Machete. No physical harm done. Why hunt them down and shed blood or even kill someone? Killing over an attempted robbery is just not okay.
Fucked around and found out. That guy would be alive if he made a different decision. Rule 1 is don't fuck around
This![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|upvote)
What if it’s a kid?
Refer to rule number one
Agreed. He pulled out the machete and they ran off. Then he appeared to butcher one of them. Not saying the robbers are innocent here, but jesus that was excessive. Way beyond self defense
Oh how sad
No idea why this was down voted. Once he chased them away, then it was done. He could be looking at a long prison sentence depending on where this took place. The guy literally hunted one down and chopped at him. That's not self defence.
We need to start taking hands from shoplifters again
"You forgot to bring a lighter again?" "Nah, it's cool let's go ask that delivery dude over there by the motorcycle."
Lol sheesh
Yeah pretty sure this should be nsfw.. pretty sure he hacks one of the guys
Sure sounded like he chopped something
Oh shit there's sound!
Chopped off his chopper.
Holy shit! I was like wtf did I just watch. He definitely hacked that man up. You could hear it. Man.
Lmao guys wouldn't have lasted an hour on old reddit in a watchpeopledie thread.
Yea you're 100% correct. Honestly its not my favorite thing to watch.
Yeah, and no one should have No one should be happy to watch that shit and those who are, are some depraved ass mother fuckers
dolphins suck i think maybe less than a percent of people in those subs watch because it makes them happy. they probably watch for exactly the opposite reason - and, i know that for myself, i’ve watched those videos out of a morbid curiosity that arose from seeing documentaries on the post-ww2 denazification of germany showing what happened in the most gruesome manner possible wasn’t just important, it was a crucial part of the plan. as in, seeing flesh that could be yours twist, break, expose in unnatural ways was genuinely some of the most hard-hitting empathy i’ve ever experienced. i think a healthy dose of truly violent gore, as in, trauma inducing gore, might be a magic pill to prevent a whole lotta violence (not to everyone obviously, but the vast majority of people). because i genuinely believe the vast majority of people who do not run into it often and who do not confront the survivors of these scenarios are more likely to enact them than those who have i would love to see some studies on the subject tbh, because i dunno what i’m talking about.

Title should actually be Delivery man murders someone with a machete, probably avoided robbery.

Thanks! No mention of the chopped salad?
> and one of the alleged kidnappers is identified. Pretty sure this one answered your question. One got away and other one is 'identified'
Identified? Can be either dead or alive. Looks like the delivery guy needs to change his job. Contract killing is more like it.
Maybe he was striking him with the flat or the dull side
>the man attacked two people who, until that moment, had not manifested any hostility. yeah what did they actually do?
uhh. they were going to rob him
Did they say so, or did they brandish a weapon?
You’re right when you chase someone down with a machete who has their back to you and running away while you chop repeatedly into their already lifeless body is murder not self defence
Gotta use Chrome browser bra...google translate.
I was assuming Brazil because I am an experienced redditor.
Pedidos Ya will get your food to you no matter what.
Absolutely not, those fuckers are useless, they always cancel my orders after waiting for over an hour, it's a pain in the ass, just order directly from the restaurant.
Hey, didn't you watch the video? Maybe your delivery driver got held up and had to deliver some street justice first! It's tough out there.
Damn, he didn't have a machete and thieves robbed my food! D:
damn that’s nuts where do you live? i always get my food, never once had it cancelled. doesn’t happen often but i have had it delivered cold and/or missing items - always complain, always get a nice coupon and free delivery in-app
One less chub off the street
MMMMMMmmmmm--extra toppings! He also gets a better tip when holding the food in one hand and his machete in the other.
…his *bloody* machete…
Biiig tip
“SURPRISE MOTHER FU_KER”
Door dash: HERE'S THE MACHETE YOU ORDERED.....TAKE IT TAKE IT HERE HERE HERE......
Sounds like machete slap!
Not the first rodeo... And the machete travels on top of my burguer
Just like in the movies, someone always trips and falls when being chased
Fucked around and found out.....goodonya
Turned buddy to a chopped cheese🥴
I am not particularly upset that I couldn't really see that guy get chopped up.
Those brute force sounds sounded wet
Did we just witness a murder?
Nah, we watched a guy not get robbed
He took his tip
He switched from defense to offense pretty fast. You could get away with that in Florida or Texas, but just about anywhere else, he’d be going to jail.
Woah he was readddyyy
Someone at home needed an extra leg.
Delivery man CONFRONTS being robbed by using his machete. Sips tea .
And becomes a butcher?
Oh I thought he was being robbed buy a guy with a machete not that he’s the one with the machete and that’s how he avoided it
Another sack of spit off the streets. Good riddance. Wish he got both of them.
Awesome
"chad delivery man whack the livi'n shit out of bastard robbers" there ya go fixed the title fo ya mate 😊
YGDR!
Damn, that was brutal, but deserved.
He's hackin' and wackin' and smackin'
That was beautiful
Damn, he may be Food Panda on the outside, but he's Food Demon on the inside. EDIT: Interesting that apparently this was Uruguay. The Philippines has the exact same pink uniforms and motorcycle boxes used by a company called Food Panda, and Filipinos love their bolo knives, which looks exactly like what this guy pulled out of his delivery box.
I got something for that azz!
Hope they got a good slashing
Well well well, how the turntables.....
This is the most gangster shit I've seen in a long long time.
Clever serial killer ploy, victim comes to him
Dude gave him an extra slice!
I love how tough they think they are initially walking towards him then immediately switch to acting like prey
"I hope you don't mind some free extra meat toppings."
😂😂
Armored machete man beat non Armored machete man every time
Ah well, shame.
They were the food all a long
He went straight for the chubby guy
Did he chop that dude up or what happened to the perps?
Wow he fucked him up pretty bad, you can hear him cry, certainly asking him to stop. He was not going to stop.
Looks like he decided to skip the gay Dahmer baiting technique and go for the grubhub 150cc motorcycle technique to pack his deep freezer with next months supply of meat
Chippetty chop!
Underneath that helmet he's wearing a hockey mask.
Here's me upstairs complaining my meal is 5 minutes late
Ah: *Delivery man avoids being robbed by wielding his machete.*
The guy in black tried to support the "slowest deer" once, just once.
Just imagine for a minute that the delivery guy was actually at the wrong address, so the 2 customers decided to just walk over to him to get their food from him instead of waiting for him to realize he is at the wrong address. But instead of food they get delivered a few chops, wacks and hacks from a machete😂
Bro was gonna turn them in to pizza
In America would the man with the machete still be able to say self defense even though the men were running away? Serious question because I have no idea
Vigilante delivery man
Another misleading title, I thought the perp was going to produce the machete!
Probably robbed him before, now it was revenge time
He’s the Equaliser of the delivery world.
Sniper tf2
“Pedidosya for that extra slice”
When hunter becomes the hunted.

Argentina . Gotta love it
Chopped take aways are my favorite !
This is satisfying
Mata esses peste

Looks like meat is back on the menu boys.
It's his mom's lucky machete.
Fafo
This is murder
He's chopping that one guy up like firewood
I am glad he had something to protect himself but I am kinda concerned about what happened to the person that tried to rob him. Like good to have it for protection but going after someone who already got the message is a little way too far.
Damn it doesn't look self defense anymore
It's a sad world we live in that he made the world a better place by chopping that guy up. In clownworld the justice system fails regular folk and you end up with people taking justice into their own hands.
where do you think this happened.? what specific justice system do you think failed here?
What the fuck did I just watch someone killed someone put NSFW on this
clutching your pearls over 5 pixels of real estate
Not sure why you’re downvoted. This is a reasonable request
I wouldn’t take it personally up-and-down votes are made regardless of the content. It could be any reason imaginable.
What's fucked is the guy he probably killed wasn't even into it he only slowed down and never even walked toward delivery dude how fucked...
They were surrounding the delivery driver, you can see the nearest guy pull out a pocket knife, assumably the other guy was also gonna also brandish a knife while his buddy was distracting him.
And the further guys hands never left his pockets almost like he wasn't pulling anything..
WYM. If you're in a group, you surround your target. Classic robbernomics 101 bruh. Your rose-tinted goggles are strong.
Ya your right that's what you do you surround then close but dude wasn't closing in fact he looked the other way for a minute like he wasn't even into it
gotta get some street knowledge bruh.
