What would motivate someone to act in that way?

What could possibly motivate someone to do that?

“You fucking idiot.” Exactly.

7 cases in 9 days of people doing dumb shit with fireworks in vehicles? Wtf is in the water in Toronto..
E
According to my Canadian friend who lives near Winnipeg in Manitoba, apparently Arson is common in that city. Make of that information what you will.
U
That means this person will *not* be suffering any real consequences. Minors do not face consequences for their crimes in Canada.
K
From Scarborough. I am now not surprised lol.
N
Why? Cause people will do ANYTHING to get attention. If they think it will go viral for better or worse…that is ALL they needed to think about. Nothing else matters but the fame.
H
and it works
N
Sadly it does. Sometimes.
S
It looks like this is a trend happening in Canada. There’s been like 7 cases in the past 9 days. I think the first few were firecrackers, so this kid probably thinks “well those were no big deal, a mortars a firework like that”, but it’s a lot worse. Im not excusing this at all, but I work with this age range. Theyre so desperate for acceptance, mixed with the fact their brains aren’t fully developed to completely grasp consequences, as well as the fact that they’re so incredibly impulsive, it’s a FUCKED up mix. Again, not excusing anything.
A
Fast track to a prison cell?
W
Yeah, face it, this is a crime. . if not felenous assult, then attempted arson, or wreckless conduct and endangering lives. We have all seen firwork fiascos elevate from funny “*ha-ha*” to full blown arson in mere moments. . on a moving and closed vehicle, the possibility of a fire is just too great to even pull such a stunt.
V
“The girl, who cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, has been charged with mischief endangering life. She is due to appear in a Toronto courtroom on Friday, July 14.”

A guy I grew up with set off a firework (by sticking it between his asscheeks and lighting it, because he constantly did shit like that for attention) inside a small apartment building and started a fire that almost burned the whole thing down. Ended up doing over a year in jail. People are so stupid.
A
Not to mention the sound of an explosion distracting the driver.
W
Not to mention an explosion inside a confined metal space is terrible for your eardrums. And not considering the smoke inhalation these people had to go through.
B
Thats not a detonation, its a deflagration.
A
WHAAT?
R
Oughta be charged with terrorism
M
Tell me you don’t know what terrorism is without telling me you don’t know what terrorism is. Terrorism needs to be an act of vilolrnce intended to intimate the public into acting or voting differently. This was just being dangerously fucking reckless.
C
Grammar terrorism.
K
ok, ok, calm down Satan.

What a disturbed thing to say.

It’s a girl

This is why TikTok and other video platforms should take action against “commit a crime to get internet attention” videos. Just ban them, which is very justifiable, then they would have no incentive to do those stupid shits
