- You know when people do bad stuff
and it comes around to bite them in the butt?
Ooh man, is that satisfying.
A lot of people call this karma.
It's the idea of what goes around comes around,
and while this happens all the time,
there have been some documented instances
that were especially satisfying.
Allow me to tell you exactly what those are.
(laughing) (thunder roars)
Here are 10 times karma came for awful people.
Number 10 is hockey karma.
On January 26th, 2001, an NHL hockey game
between the Chicago Black Hawks and Colorado Avalanche
was going down that would bring about one of the biggest
coincidences or acts of karma the sport would ever see.
Chicago player Steve Sullivan took a high stick to the face
midway through the second period
and was skating off to the bench
when an Avalanche fan began taunting him from the stands,
pointing at the bloody injury and laughing.
But Sullivan got revenge after scoring two goals
against the arrogant fan's team,
but karma wasn't done striking yet.
As Avalanche goalie Patrick Wah tried to ice the puck,
it skipped over the glass and struck none other
than the taunting man himself, cutting his head.
Hey you stupid idiot, you got hit in the face, haha.
Oh, my head.
Sullivan took the opportunity to skate over
and point out the injury, getting a thumbs up
from the jerk's own wife.
Number nine is hydrant parking.
On April 9th, 2014, firefighters responded
to a blaze in East Boston, Massachusets
that threatened a number of homes.
Upon arriving, they discovered that the nearest
fire hydrant was blocked by an illegally parked car.
The vehicle was a BMW which an unidentified man
had parked there, ignoring the bright yellow fire hydrant
so that he could get a good spot.
So as they often need to do, the firefighters
took axes to the car, smashing both the driver's side
and passenger front windows and feeding the large hose
literally through the vehicle.
Then with the help of bystanders,
the BMW was pushed and bounced away from the curb
to ensure that there were no kinks in the hose,
leaving a large dent in the side.
When the owner returned, he found two smashed windows,
a huge dent, and a fine for $100.
La la la, just walking back to my BMW, oh my god.
That's not my car.
Number eight is raining on republicans.
In early August of 2008, Stewart Shepherd,
an evangelist and former pastor, released a video
in which he called on other evangelicals
to pray to god for a torrential downpour to ruin
the then-senator Barack Obama's accepting of the democratic
nomination at the party's national convention.
It was a move he later played off as light and humorous,
but also one that would make him
laughed at for white a while.
Pastors should know better than to call on god
to hurt others, and it appears as if the big guy upstairs
wanted to drive that idea home.
On September 1st, 2008, the first day of the
republican convention, the side Shepherd supported,
in St. Paul, Minnesota, Hurricane Gustav struck.
The rain was so bad that many of the speakers canceled.
Meanwhile, Obama accepted the nomination under blue skies.
Okay everybody, pray that it rains. (yells)
Okay.
Number seven is a hit and run with plate.
Whether it's because they don't have insurance
or simply because they're terrified of the consequences,
sometimes people abandon the traffic accidents
that they're responsible for.
But if you're one of those awful people,
here's a little tip for ya.
Make sure your entire car leaves the scene with you.
On September 10th, 2017, 43-year-old Arturo Limas
was driving while heavily intoxicated
along a road in Hanford, a town in King's County, California
when he slammed into a man on a bicycle.
Realizing what he'd done, he panicked and sped off,
leaving a man with a badly injured leg
and a completely destroyed bike.
When the police arrived, they found among the debris
at the scene, his car's bumper,
complete with a license plate.
They arrested him shortly after, though the man was so drunk
he could barely get out of his car.
Was that, was I drinking and driving?
No, no, that was, I was drinking water.
Number six is stop sign thief gets in an accident.
In a tale that would be hilarious
if it didn't end so tragically,
sometimes really bad things happen to bad people.
When you're a teenager, sometimes you can overlook future
consequences, as you're too in the moment to really care,
but when you're a heartless teenager who holds themselves
above everyone, you can forget about the potentially fatal
and immediate consequences that your actions have.
For an example, look no further than 19-year-old
Tyler A. Meyers, who decided that stealing a stop sign
on the streets of his home town in Norwalk, Ohio
was worth the risk to drivers' lives,
as it looked super dope on his bedroom wall.
But in a twist of fate that proves the value of such signs,
Meyers drove through one a few nights later
and collided with a truck.
Number five is a thief leaves a wallet behind.
In early December of 2013, 22-year-old Ryan Keegan
decided to go on a little crime spree
and started breaking into cars
in the small neighborhood of Naples, Florida.
Getting away with a small amount of cash,
the man got home only to find he had nowhere to put it,
as his wallet was missing.
Oh, look at this haul, baby, just put it in my wallet.
Oh my god.
Somehow, in the process of stealing change
and other small items from one of the vehicles,
Keegan's wallet had slipped from his pocket.
While reporting the break-in, the car's owner found it,
complete with the thief's ID and turned it in to police,
who quickly arrested him.
Another victim claims she found some of Keegan's clothes
and his iPod in her car.
Now most thieves leave no evidence behind,
but Keegan, oh he does the police's job for them.
You know, with a little help from karma.
Number four is internet troll gets trolled.
Anyone who spends a little time on the internet,
specifically anywhere with a comments section,
knows the handiwork of the elusive internet troll.
You're bald and I don't like your teeth. (whines)
These people live to make your day even worse
than it already might be.
One such troll was username Nimrod Severn,
whose depravity included going on to the profiles
or memorial pages of people who have recently died
and posting racist, horrible things
to the loved ones to see.
BBC reporter Declan Lawn tracked Nimrod down,
revealing his real name to be Darren Burton.
When confronted, Burton announced that he didn't care
and Facebook was an open platform,
but after the story was published,
the troll was verbally attacked and threatened
so much that he and his family packed up and had to move.
Yeah, that's right, this could happen to you,
troll in the comments section.
I see you leaving those things.
Oh yeah, they're coming for ya.
Number three is breaking into the wrong house.
On August 19th, 2008, 72-year-old Frank Cordy
was in his home in Botley, Oxford, England
with his wife Margaret when all of a sudden,
23-year-old Gregory McCallum burst into the house.
McCallum was drunk and looking to rob the place,
but when he found the elderly couple there,
he quickly pulled out a knife.
Yeah, because that's what you do with old people,
they're such a threat.
But actually, this old man was,
because reacting swiftly, Frank dodged the knife
and proceeded to punch the young man twice and the face.
Oh you little piece of (grunts)
Now you might be thinking, well, Cordy probably didn't
do that much damage, but what McCallum didn't realize
was that he'd broken into the home of a retired boxer.
The blows knocked the younger man to the ground
and he received a swollen lip and a black eye
for his bad decision.
Cordy restrained him until police arrived and arrested him.
Possibly the best part is that during the sentence hearing,
the judge told McCallum he got exactly what he deserved.
Honestly, I'm not surprised,
you ever hear of old man strength?
Oh, it's a thing.
Number two is the Turkey accidental rainbow.
On June 28th, 2015, a gay pride parade was taking place
in Taksim Square, in Turkey.
An annual event, the celebration was almost always peaceful
and often was allowed to pass along by the local police,
who only intervened when danger presented itself.
However, that year, some people involved in the parade
began calling out insults about the Turkish president.
In a response that few would consider appropriate,
the police decided to then disperse the large group
using powerful water cannons and rubber bullets.
Several people were injured in the sudden attack,
but one photo taken by an onlooker
revealed a bit of resistance from the air around them.
As mist filled the air, the image of a rainbow
appeared over everyone's heads.
See, you try to break up a gay pride parade
and Mother Nature's intervening.
And number one is an accidental text bomb.
On December 31st, 2010, New Year's Even in Moscow, Russia,
a terrorist organization set out to detonate a bomb
in a crowded area, but fate or dare I say karma intervened.
A young woman was tasked with carrying
a suicide belt into Red Square
in the midst of the New Year's celebration,
at which time, another individual from the radical movement
would send her a phone signal,
blowing her and hundreds of others into pieces.
However, while preparing for her last moments alive,
the woman failed to notice that her phone wasn't turned off.
In other words, the bomb was armed right in the safe house.
Like many wireless carriers, her phone company
sent her a happy New Year text,
which prematurely detonated the device.
So instead of killing hundreds, only killed herself.
See, so there you go, don't be trying
to hurt others on New Year's Eve.
If you have a problem, just get drunk
and puke the next day like everybody else.
