Consider that you’re watching a person react while you’re in a totally calm state of mind, and prepared for what you’re going to see.
You can see them react to the car, step in front of it and hit it. To me the appearance is of a person who sees the cars motion as the source of danger, so they react to that. A moment passes and you can see the priorities sorting as they see the kids getting up, the cart still in the road, the lost shoe, and the panicked looking driver.
They’re running around a lot, but they’re holding one of the children within 10 seconds of the incident.
It might not be the perfect response in hindsight, but “car danger: make car stop. Now driver danger: make driver stop” is not an unreasonable first reaction. Particularly if you don’t know if the driver saw the accident and is going to just hit them, pause and then keep going, or realize what he’s done and then flee, running them over.
It is unfortunately not unexpected for me at all, american born into a conservative family.
So many people will literally virtue signal about how they would attack or kill a person who offended them in some way or who deserves it or has it coming, when most of the time they would passively do nothing.
Driving into somebody’s kids right in front of them is pretty fucking bad, obviously, so a person doesn’t exactly need to be iamverybadass material to go on the attack.
Anyway, kind of unexpected reaction of the person hitting the car rather than assisting the kids…
