Vidja game critic gets popular, so all the cool internet kids jump on the hatewagon. The dude gets cancer, which is now considered incurable. I'm not sure what the funny schadenfreude part is either.
possibly the part where he's a misogynistic rear end in a top hat and wished someone to get cancer and die. I'm not cool with people getting cancer and dying though.

It sounds bullshit because the details don't add up. The criminal case against the other driver would never go to court, because he would have shown the dashcam footage to the police/prosecution and he never would have been charged in the first place. Also people can't just fake injuries in criminal proceedings, she would have to undergo some kind of examination to determine the extent and severity of her injuries.

Yeah, why would they not simply shut it all down with the dashcam footage?

Still feel bad for the blind kid, probably some misguided poo poo made him think he should pick a fight.

Yeah, that comparison you made about the downs person kicking the small kid is completely out of place here. Now it's about a person that's not physically or mentally impaired beating a physically and mentally impaired kid. I think that just made it even worse.

Now for some BREAKING NEWS dog schadenfreude:

There's a dog running loose on a major São Paulo airport runway, preventing several airplanes from landing and lifting off. Several Airport staff are chasing the dog for over 10 minutes and haven't managed to catch it yet. Its being broadcasted live from a news station. I'll post the video as soon as it goes up on youtube.

The dog managed to get away into the nearby woods before he was caught. He may strike again

Also they would be in a world of poo poo if they killed the dog instead of following the proper channels. Besides the media shitstorm, animal protection laws in Brazil are rather severe.

Well I stand corrected. I seemed to recall seeing that they had a big problem with strays in the favelas and they were dealt with rather harshly.

I mean, I'm talking about laws and things that were exposed to the media, like this dog. When talking about favelas, people are probably getting an even worse treatment. I don't expect rio police to be limited by such things as laws and fair trials. We don't have death penalty, but there were thousands of summary executions by cops in the last few years.

Yeah, what's the advantage of glue traps? A relative's house had such an absurd rat infestation at their garden that we would set up 5 spring traps, wait around five minutes, hear 5 snaps almost simultaneously, take off the rats and set them up again. This went on for around 2 hours. I can't even understand how much that would cost in single use glue traps.

There's some schadenfreude here as their son adopted a pair of cats and the parents made him put them up for adoption again a few months ago.

I don't think you can go to jail for "maybe thinking about committing a crime in the future" either.

yeah i don't exactly know US customs laws enough, but one thing I know is that agents usually don't feel constrained by things like "having a probable cause for apprehending goods" or "speaking the truth about customs laws". while it might not be true that the dude could get arrested, I don't doubt for a second that the agent would say it anyway. Usually going all sovcit on these guys (or even professing knowledge about your rights) is bad news.

My schadenfreude stories are about getting owned by these dudes without having a chance to do anything about it. One time at the immigration booths this fat, lazy eyed old man power tripped on me pretty drat hard going so far as to say "I'm the law here!". Another time I got held for questioning on those random lotteries and had to wait for hours and then questioned by a dude that repeated the same series of questions multiple times to see if I would keep my story straight. he also got my money I was bringing with me (the limit you could lawfully take) and going all "this sure is a lot of money, I could confiscate this easily".
