This isn't car related but it's one of the most inspirational stories I have ever heard. When Ross was shot 3 times he didn't just lay there and die. He got back up.

Moral of the story? Don't go to Detroit and don't be friends with assholes.

While I wholeheartedly agree with the message of the story and his story in general, I hate the current state of social media in general as they don't give enough credit to the original source of such stories. I originally saw this story a few years ago when it was posted by the creators to the berrics. The fact that it has been shared by so many different "news" websites recently without this information is weird at the very least and possibly misleading. I don't mean to come off too hipsterish, but I felt like it had to be pointed out. I'm quite new to reading Oppo and don't post very often, but what I like about this forum is the more personal and mature nature of interactions between mostly strangers as opposed to other major forms of social media (Facebook, car forums, etc.).

P.S. I really did enjoy seeing the video the first time and saw a follow up interview (on Ellen I think) where he meets the man who saved his life (a parole officer if I remember correctly) that is worth watching as well.

I don't mean to take credit for this. All credit to berrics.

I was more venting about all the websites that seem to only exist to get likes and shares on Facebook. I would much rather people take the time to post the videos directly as you did and it is very much the reason I waste most of my time reading things on here or twitter and am contemplating deleted my Facebook account.
