It's okay to like this video. It means you were entertained by it. It doesn't mean you support hitting blind people with your car and leaving the scene of a crime.

[Reed Carson]

Man, may I say, you should have more subscribers than you have.

You would think the driver would feel guilty but nope. Ive had two friends who's cane were stolen. One left it in the bathroom at a movie theater for maybe five minutes the other had it ripped out of her hands when she was walking. people are so strange sometimes

[Doom-Anne Gloom]

hahaha! oh I would love to know what to do if the string falls in your cane? I can't get my son's back out so I can put a new end on it!

[Erin idk]

LMAO. First of all, Tommy didn't say whether he was near a train crossing or not. Second, he's blind, not deaf. A train usually toots its horn when it's passing through, and is loud if you're up close. There are gates that close and make a ringing sound which prevent people and cars from crossing. Those gates don't open until the train passes. I'm guessing you don't live in a city with public rail transit or one with railroads at all.
