Lame. Cover the car with beartraps and fire ants. Get a beekeeper outfit and fill the car with angry bees, so when they yank open the door, they're in for a little surprise.

Not sure if attempted suicide by cop, but this is oddly satisfying to watch. A thot has been patrolled.
Edit: This next one definitely is karmic

I need to see more of that bear attack. Also any circus elephant attacks. The justice boner when circus animals decide they've had enough of their mistreatment is so big I could probably take out low-flying aircraft with it.
Edit: I suppose I should contribute.
The sad part is these animals are probably put down, but hopefully they take someone with them or at least give live-changing injuries to as many as possible.

I'm not gonna lie, I love the sheer amount of effort this guy put into fucking with package thieves.

I hate that "it's not worth our time to fool with" shit from some police departments. At the very least, they can look up people with prior arrest for the same thing, and see if it's the same people.

The recent winter weather reminded me of an instance of instant karma from some winters ago.
I was taking a popular shortcut through a poorly illuminated square when I sidestepped a visible patch of ice and walked right onto a patch of invisible/black ice just adjacent. I had to suddenly throw my arms out to recover and stop myself from slipping and losing my balance. Someone behind me following the same route snickered derisively at me, assuming that I had carelessly slipped on the patch of visible ice. But seconds later, he too slipped on the same patch of black ice that had got me and I heard him cursing venomously as he struggled to recover his balance.
Also, I thought I might mention one of my favorite types of "instant karma": copper thieves getting electrocuted to death while trying to steal cable from live high voltage power lines and transformers. Copper thieves are everywhere now, even in USA (I was hit by them once last year), but I think only in South Africa are the kaffirs stupid enough to try cutting cables out of a live transformer or power line. Sometimes it's rather graphic, with the kaffirs suffering third degree burns or literally having the skin exploded off their backs by a sudden high voltage surge. And I've seen some where a crowd of kaffirs will gather around the dazed and dying copper thief to laugh at his stupidity. The one below is pretty tame, by comparison:
This kaffir got fried in Cape Town last month while trying to steal electric train power lines. You can see the dead man is lying across a steel beam that probably grounded him the moment he touched the live wire with those metal bolt cutters. Takes a special kind of stupid to do something like that, but it's all too common in Africa.

Jesus the fact that its a riot makes it so much more impressive. I doubt theres many countries that has a population that will fall into specialized roles without an Authoritative figure.

Rez for a classic.
The best part is how this one just keeps going. This dude is trying so fucking hard. Its one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
Edit: Gonna drop in another one:
Folks in the comments seem to think the dudes in riot gear were escorting an official or something, so they sprang into action when they noticed one of the road ragers was threatening their boss, presumably whoever is in the white SUV.

That mall cop had a whole youtube channel. I want to say his name was Darren Long. There were a couple other incidents like that. None as amazing as him tazing that woman though. The craziest thing about that whole saga is reddit found out about him, found out how in danger he was having to work in an average mall in ATL and crowdfunded a bunch of protective and law enforcement equipment for him. Reddit loved him for some reason...

Darren Long is right, still has his youtube channel up. 2013 is probably why Reddit liked him. Woman was a complete hoodrat and degenerate with kids running up shouting obscenities in a ghetto black neighbourhood, so this was before all this SJW nonsense really kicked up.
He's still uploading videos from years ago as a mall cop on a weekly basis. This is one he put up just last week.

Every now and then some tweaker here will attempt copper wire theft and get fried:
Tulsa Co. Deputies: 2 People Arrested For Murder After Man Dies Stealing Copper
The Tulsa County Sheriff's Office says a woman is now in custody for 1st-degree murder in connection to the death of a man trying to steal copper from a Tulsa radio tower.
One tweaker dead and the other two will rot in prison. That's a pretty damn good outcome.

People who steal infrastructure are absolute fucking garbage and with enough of these vermin, civilization literally collapses. Part of why so much of Africa is absolute shit is you can't have an electrical grid because it gets immediately fucking stolen. The only phone service is satellite because landlines immediately get stolen.
If they just flat out shot anyone stealing electrical wiring I'd have very little problem with that, although just frying themselves is a pretty good way of them getting themselves out of the gene pool, albeit a minor problem as it often knocks out power in the area while they remove the crispy critter.

Does this count? I think it does. READ THE FUCKING SIGNS PEOPLE.
Short version is, there are a complicated set of trips and warnings to tell someone "HEY FUCKFACE, THE BRIDGE IS TOO DAMN LOW!" but for whatever reason people think they can make this one. This dude has been recording shit from his apartment for years.
Edit because the FAQ is almost as good as the video:

Edit because the FAQ is almost as good as the video:
What is the location of the 11foot8 bridge?
201 Gregson St in Durham, NC (intersection with Peabody St)
Why is the bridge so low?
This train trestle is about 100 years old. At the time when it was built, there were no standards for minimum clearance.
How often do trucks crash into the bridge?
On average, about once a month a truck gets visibly damaged at the bridge. However, every day I see trucks that trip the overheight warning lights, stop and turn into the side street.
Why don’t they fix it?
Depends on who “they” are and on what “fix” means. The North Carolina Railroad Company owns the train trestle, and their concern is primarily with keeping the trains running and keeping them running safely. So their concern is mainly with reducing the impact of the truck crashes on the actual structure of the train trestle. As far as they are concerned, they solved that problem by installing the crash beam.
The city of Durham has installed “low clearance” signs on each of the 3 blocks leading up to the trestle (Gregson is a one-way road). There is an “overheight when flashing” sign with flashing lights that are triggered by vehicles that are too tall. Several blocks ahead of the trestle the speed limit is 25 MPH. The folks from the city planning department said that they made an effort to prevent accidents.
The North Carolina Dept. of Transportation maintains the road, but not the signage. I suspect they have much bigger problems to deal with statewide than this bridge.
Is the clearance signage accurate?
The clearance signage displays a maximum safe clearance – and yes, in that sense it is accurate. The actual clearance of the crash beam right in front of the trestle is 11 feet 10.8 inches, which gives it a 2.8 inch safety margin. The MUTCD allows for a maximum of 3 inches difference between the signage and the actual clearance.
Metric, please!
Would this situation be better if the signage were metric? Well … take a look at his website: 2m40.com (Warning: French. Metric)
For the convenience of our metric-only audience, here are the measurements we’re talking about in meters:
11foot8 (11 feet 8 inches) = 3.556 meters
11 feet 10.8 inches = 3.627 meters
Safety margin: 7.1 cm (at the crest of the road)
Can’t the road be lowered?
That would be prohibitively expensive because a sewer main runs just a few feet below the road bed. That sewer main also dates back about a hundred years and, again, at the time there were no real standards for minimum clearance for railroad underpasses.
Can’t the bridge be raised?
Here, too, the question is who would want to pay the millions of dollars to raise the tracks a couple of feet? To accomplish this, the grade of the tracks would have to changed on both sides of the trestle, probably for several miles. That would require rebuilding all trestles in Durham. And NS would have to shut down this busy track for months. I don’t think they are interested in that idea.
Is the signeage inadequate?
The signeage is pretty good. Large signs alert driver to the low clearance several blocks before the bridge. Overheight vehicles trip a light switch that turns on flashing warning lights.right at the bridge.
Should there be more signeage?
It’s hard to see how more “low-clearance” signs will significantly improve the situation. But maybe a different kind of signeage would get the driver’s attention.
Could they install a low-clearance bar?
A low clearance bar is a bar suspended by chains ahead of the bridge. Overheight vehicles hit that bar first and the noise alerts the driver to to the problem. I understand that this approach has been successful in other places, but it’s not practical here. There are many overheight trucks that have to be able to drive right up to the bridge and turn onto Peabody St. in order to deliver supplies to several restaurants. Making Peabody St inaccessible from Gregson St would make the restaurant owners and the delivery drivers very unhappy.
Why are they using yellow flashing lights?
Warning lights have to be yellow according to the NC traffic laws.
Are the drivers stupid?
No idea. They certainly seem distracted and the rental truck drivers are also probably inexperienced.
Will insurance cover the damages?
Most truck rental insurance policies specifically exclude overhead damage from coverage. However, a good auto insurance or liability insurance might pick up the tab. Check with your agent. Or even better – don’t hit the bridge!

As dumb as it is for people to ignore the signs, they really should reroute that rail track if they can't do anything about altering the bridge and then tear the bridge down.
