Old news - already been on the BBC website.
Yet more "trial via facebook/twitter/etc".....when will it end...
"You're under citizens arrest. Put your hands on the car and get ready to die" - utter genius 🙂
Amazing! The Twitter comments are comedy gold.
Seriously , the south of the UK is incredible. Men who voted Brexit trying citizen arrest 11 year olds. Amazing
Citation needed for some of that.
Why is the bloke so passive? I get not losing it and remaining calm but why not do that and hit him with some awkward questions?
"Are you ok? Have you forgotten your medication"
"Do you need to sit down and have a cup of tea"
"Chill out dude"
Or perhaps slamming his hand in the car door by accident and saying "oh god I'm really sorry"
Etc etc.
Saw this earlier. That bloke passenger was incredibly restrained. Id have had a pop way before it got that far.

I understand how it's hard to believe the south of the UK is incredible, and unfortunately I can't find any evidence for it
I think they've just come off the M27 - can do that to a man 😐

That's really quite special.
Also enjoying the prefect video in the twitter comments.
Presumably he found them not driving a Range Rover, which is a capital offence down south these days

Possibly. Assuming this was your evidence?

A citizens arrest is a real thing - but like any arrest is only for an arrestable offence so be very sure it is before you try to restrain someone
So is this lunatic going to get charged by the police then?
[quote=Jamie ]Possibly. Assuming this was your evidence?
Yeah - clearly photoshopped when I went back to check

Yeah, because winding up a clearly deranged individual is always the best choice of action.
Looks a fairly sizeable bloke (the shouty one), so unless you are confident you could batter the shite out of him, its best to ignore and try to calm the situation down.
Love the way his missus locks the door and won't let him back in the car though.
Pure comedy gold! What a mad angry man.
Sad state of affairs when any of that is deemed funny.

Oh please. It might not have been funny at the time but as casual observers after the fact we can laugh at the absurdness of the man going waaaaay ott.

Are you sure? The shouting man sounded quite posh. I'd say he knows about such things.
Its like he learned to swear today.

I think you need to be a white american doing this to a black person for it to be legal
IANAL
'you deserved it, you old slut' 😀 😆 😀 faf
Awesome. You can understand somebody flipping-their-sh*t over getting cut-up or whatever, but (multiple) citizens arrests combined with threats to kill them is next-level bonkers. Feel a bit sorry for him actually.
I think he might find himself in court.... threatening to kill somebody is an offence - I had a similar case while I was on jury duty. One chav issued a really round-about threat to his girlfriend - we all got a lecture from the judge on how it was really serious.
From the CPS:
Threats can be calculated and premeditated, or said in the heat of the moment. The defendant does not have to have the intention to kill but there has to be an intent that the person to whom the threat has been issued would fear it would be carried out. This can be a difficult offence to prove, and it should be reserved for the more serious cases. Where it is doubtful whether the threat carried the necessary intent a charge under Section 4 Public Order Act 1986 may be appropriate.
One of the finest video's of someone loosing their shit I have ever seen.
Utter genius. He couldn't have "produced" it better.
If only he'd also had an out-of-control dog named Fenton as well, running around barking, that would have been the cherry on the top.

The male passenger in the car needs to grow a pair. I wouldn't be letting a shouty man like that scream abuse at my kids.

not necessarily as his lack of actions just led to the guy getting angrier and more frustrated - reacting would have appeassed him a bit.

Right. So you kick off, smack him and then get nicked/stabbed.
Sometimes what the world needs is someone who keeps their cool, rather than an internet badass.

Sometimes less is more.
Check your ego, de-escalate and leave. That's 'growing a pair'.
Growing a pair doesn't mean you need to smack anyone. It does perhaps mean standing up to people and taking the situation away from your kid.
He won't be proud when he sees this doing the rounds. That's a proper red mist lost the plot moment. So middle class to get that angry and still not punch anyone!
To be fair whilst no one should behave like that it really is only half the story - what happened in the crash? And what was the family doing in the Sainsbury car park (I'm guessing hedge end) after the crash? Had they left the scene? I wonder if the male passenger was so contained because he knew whoever was driving had got it badly wrong just earlier.
I'll laugh with everyone else at the Ronnie Pickerings of this world, but that lot was just too weird for me. As franksinatra says I wouldn't wander around aimlessly while some posh freak abuses my family.
yes, it's entirely possible (likely, even?) that the driver being ranted at [i]did[/i] engage in some dangerous driving that sparked off the rant. But we'll never know, or even care, as we now have the greatest batshit meltdown of all time on video 🙂To be fair whilst no one should behave like that it really is only half the story
Sainsbury car park (I'm guessing hedge end)
I'd agree given the sat nav at the beginning.
Tesco had a girl from fruit & veg on x factor; sainsbury's has got this. How do i choose.... 😯
From the article I read, he wasn't even involved. It stated that someone had pulled out into the side of the car forcing it into the next lane and matey was behind it all observing
Oh my days I'm crying. What a balloon.
I've woken up after a night out, had that brief 5 seconds of 'must have been a good night' and then the memory comes back of how you made a tit of yourself declaring undying love for Anne from accounts.
Fergus must have that feeling x1000 and with it on social media, it ain't going to go away with a humble 'sorry if I was an arse' comment at the coffee machine.
'Put you hands on the vehicle and prepare to DIE!' has to be the best middle class threat ever.
declaring undying love for Anne from accounts
she is hot though...
was.
It was 20 years ago.
I, on the other hand, just get hotter every day.

Male menopause innit! You want to try HRT
The male passenger in the car needs to grow a pair. I wouldn't be letting a shouty man like that scream abuse at my kids.
I'm not sure I could have keep it together and probably would have responded.
But then the video wouldn't have gone all over the Internet and poor old Fergie wouldn't have this to deal with for next few weeks. How many times do you think he's heard the phrases "Citizen's arrest", "hands on the car" and "prepare to DIE"? Better than a dab in the pus or a fine IMHO.
Wowza that guy is angry! Would love to know what actually happened before he turned into Judge Dred's angrier brother.
I think his catch phrase is going to catch on! or a turned into a movie about some antihero type cleaning up the streets ... 😆
It's the finger-on-the-cheek death grip that gets me. I've seen many a man slain by that move.
Watching a second time I have to wonder if this is the ultimate example of someone's ego writing cheques their body can't cash.
At any rate I think he went well over the line when he shouted at the woman and child.

There is often nothing more entertaining than someone losing it so volcanically. I would like to think I could stay as calm as the Dad in the passenger seat but I doubt I could.
Discussing it on R2 now. Jeremy Vine stifling laughter whilst repeating those classic quotes 🙂
Very level-headed comments from the grandmother in the car (who was filming)!

So exactly what happened in the lead up to the hissy fit?
https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/qvp59d/the-five-best-dad-rage-moments-from-that-citizens-arrest-video
Utterly brilliant.
allegedly some kind of minor incident (no injuries, can't remember whether they said there was any contact or not) between the car with the family in and a car driven by Mr Angry's wife. The family were alarmed enough by the resultant behaviour from Mr Angry (following in a third car) that they decided to call the police and pull over into the supermarket car park.So exactly what happened in the lead up to the hissy fit?

Ta.
It's M27. You northern lot would never understand. You just haven't been there, man.
Indeed - they even appear to doubt that the South of the UK is incredible.

Is that a verifiable fact? If so i'm a bit disappointed because I was under the impression he was arresting and summarily executing all and sundry because he'd witnessed poor driving to the detriment of a random. If he's defending his wife, he has a chip in the game at least.
ON THE OTHER HAND THOUGH!!!!
two people from the same family travelling to the same place at the same time in separate cars!! What damage is that doing to the environment? And by a producer of wildlife documentaries who should know these things as well. Outrage! I'm so incensed you're all under citizen's arrest and should prepare to DIE! Especially you, you 11 year old SLUT!
I'm locking the doors to stop me getting out and punching myself in the face.
It's the finger-on-the-cheek death grip that gets me. I've seen many a man slain by that move.

She was in the car, if you watch the video carefully (27 seconds in) the male passenger has her name tatooed on his fore-arm.
Makes you think...

LMFAO
He didn't holiday in the alps a few years ago when there was the as yet unsolved murder of that family in the BMW and the cyclist?
Did he...?
That man has some serious anger issues. I'm actually impressed by the family man keeping that calm. If anything he just looks a bit weary by the end of it. I'd have just been laughing, which would probably make it worse.
If I was with my family and that happened I'd like to think I'd just get back in my car and drive off. Leaving the angry man to rant at somebody else.
funkmasterp - MemberThat man has some serious anger issues.
I don't know if it's anger as much as it is a monstrous ego let loose. Viewed in the context of that video it's easy to see why Clarkson felt entitled to punch someone because he couldn't get steak.
But saying that Fergus probably had friends coming round for a little get together that evening but realised he was out of coffee so popped into town to get some, however his favourite artisanal coffee purveyor was probably closed so he had to slum it and go to Sainsburys, and it's not as if you can just park your Porsche in the normal spaces they're much too small so he probably had to use the disabled spaces, which probably earned him some disapproving glances from the trolley wranger (but **** him and his minimum wage) and besides he was in a rush since this neighbours were having work done and the builders would be back soon and probably park on or near or in sight of his driveway, and he can't have that as Clive and Jules need to park there and besides he needs to be home to make sure they don't make any excessive noise because he'd already written some stern emails to the Council and if they do it again he's going to have to confront one of the builders, and as if all of that wasn't enough he seems to then have witnessed some for of unforgivable driving transgression which obviously required lethal justice.
We've all been there.
Ahh.. But did he have any Pistols?? 🙂

I do wonder if he is not well. A friend's father became incredibly erratic and prone to flying off the handle in the 6 months before a brain tumour was discovered. Or mid breakdown of some kind. Might turn out millions are having a good laugh and generating memes about an ill person.
To just explain my comment yesterday - some guy goes nuts and a load of people are upset, including him.
Doesn't matter how bizarre his words may be, or how amazingly manly you'd be in that situation, it's a shit thing to watch.
And as I said, sad state of affairs for that to be funny. I found it uncomfortable, retrospectively or otherwise, but then I'm not awesome on the internet.
but then I'm not awesome on the internet.

That's amazeballs - matey-boy passenger is a SAINT, I'm not a feisty chap by any stretch but he is made of ice. 🙂

As above the "prepare to die" was comedy gold but really it just looked like a bloke having a meltdown.
On another day it could be me but I wouldnt be so funny.
