Taken individually, most people can be reasoned with, and although a difference of opinion could arise, some level of civil discourse is at least possible. It’s when people start getting together in large groups that the problems start. Something about the mob mentality makes an otherwise levelheaded person a bit nutty, dangerous even. Such is the case in this video, where we see a group of young folks enthusiastically destroy a Chevy Camaro convertible.
The video, recently posted to social media, was apparently captured at a sideshow. Looking at the account that posted the video, it’s possible the incident occurred in Atlanta, Georgia. Sideshows are illegal car gatherings wherein participants perform donuts and burnouts in front of a crowd of onlookers. Obviously, this sort of activity could lead to injuries among participants, as we’ve seen on numerous occasions. Occasionally, violence breaks out as well, as was the case here.
In the video, we see the poor Chevy Camaro convertible already heavily damaged. Members of the crowd swarm over the vehicle, kicking the body panels, jumping on the hood, and smashing the windshield. One of the onlookers pops a tire with a knife, while another tags a fender with a white graffiti marker.
It’s unclear exactly what led to this incident. However, it’s quite possible that the Chevy Camaro was stolen and brought to the sideshow before the crowd wrecked it.
For enthusiasts, this serves as a grim reminder to always be mindful of where and how their vehicle is stored, especially high-profile models like the Chevy Camaro convertible, which can easily become targets for theft and vandalism in such settings. As GM Authority has covered previously, the Chevy Camaro has been a frequent target for car thieves, with skyrocketing rates of theft in major cities like Los Angeles.

Worthless pieces of trash. They should be lined up and flogged.
Back in the day, this would happen to a rice burner before an American car. Nevertheless, lock those bastards up!
MAD MAX prequel scene.
The “peaceful protesters” that broke into and occupied the building at Columbia University in New York City just had all charges dropped by the District Attorney. I agree with you Tom, but I don’t think much will happen to these people for trashing a Camaro.
Chances are this car was stolen and we all know in “woke” communities this activity is not prosecuted.
I would round them up and drop them in the middle of the Amazon forest and if they make it out they are free. I bet few make it.
I think this is just another example of what a large number of our population has become. Just a society of losers. I imagine China enjoys seeing our weakness. I suggest to those in the idiot generation, start learning Chinese.
Great Parenting!!
Society is doomed!!
Another case of GEN Z moronic activity,that generation is BRAIN DEAD! I see it at work and everywhere else,GEN Z literally does not posess any skills other than video games,mobile phones and social media sites that feed them with garbage. I raised 3 Millenials and they didn’t get phones until 16 and all 3 turned out awesome. Nowadays parents are putting phones and tablets in the hands of toddlers so they don’t have to keep a close eye on their kids, that is bad parenting and ultimately leads to this video. Shameful behavior and our country is going to be saved by GEN Z? More like destroyed….
As this wasn’t done for charity, it provides a good reason why learning axe throwing will be beneficial. Remember, only 1 rotation !
If my dad ever caught me doing that to a car or anything else I would still be trying to get his boot out of my butt but that was when times were different.
I want to see both sides of the story. That Camaro must have done something really bad to them to instill that level of vengeance.
Get the parents of these little gangsters and line up there parents cars or just something they own worth value and trash it. Bring home the chaos.
These are NOT real car people.
Wow. A sideshow with some real diversity this time.
I am rethinking my stance on abortion now.
Clearly the black full face stocking cap is the hottest fashion trend for Gen. Z.
I agree with c8.r. But not the Amazon. How about an ARMY uniform and a foxhole using live ammunition.
This generation of kids are DOOMED! Years of fatherless homes, no discipline because fear of turning into DHS, lack of education on how to use social media the correct way, ect…..
BTW, I would have never done this but if I was STUPID enough to ever do it, my old man would have beat me worse than that Camaro got!!!!!! I promise that.
They were Ford Mustang owners.
Is this a video from the planet of the apes?
