Yeah, do thousands of dollars worth of damage for a video that .003% of people on the internet see? And more to the point, video they don't pay to see? Don't see the incentive there.

BUT, as I was writing how I disagree with you.....

Clearly preplanned by the cameraman and "star" of the video - note the tire iron conveniently being in place. "star" keeps looking over to the side, breaks off to attack just one vehicle. If one doesn't much like their PT Cruiser and wants to do some insurance fraud, this would be a way to do it and make a virtually untracable vid seen only by your friends and those .003%. Depending on the policy may be able to get it totaled and switch vehicles with that amount of damage (potentially better deal to total it and sell it as running damaged than to pay for repairs from the insurance company's side) or the owner could do the same. At the very least get it fixed and painted the new color of their choice.

Is strange he didn't so much as scratch any other car, but kept beating on that same PT until it was damaged at every corner.....

I'm sorry, but that's just utterly ridiculous.

If someone wants to commit insurance fraud, there are many better ways. Do you really think a middle aged white female got involved with a black gang banging male in order to commit insurance fraud? It just doesn't make any sense.

While your point regarding damaging a single car is very valid, you also have to remember that if he does damage all the cars around him he risks having people gang up and kick his ass, how would that look to his homies?

This whole 0.003% thing has to go, just refer to it as a negligible portion of society if you must, affiliating arbitrary statistics to substantiate a point is pretty flimsy.

However, I do believe it was staged to a point. By virtue of his awareness of what was going on around him I'd assume that he was looking for someone who would be a good victim; had he gone after someone larger, or any male for that matter, he may have faced a physical altercation.
 
Sure, that makes sense. Staged between camera man and star of the vid, picked out an easy victim, but then that's pretty obvious. I was coming from staged meaning staged with all parties involved, only way I could see it that way.

I'd assume you'd have to trust, and know someone pretty well, to persuade them to assist you with insurance fraud. The black male in that movies looks like a genuine gangbagger, putting a dou-rag on doesn't exactly make you a gangbanger immediately, the language and mannerisms of a gangbangner are unique.

It just doesn't seem plausible that a middle aged white female would trust a black male (who genuinely appears like a gangbanger) enough to propose insurance fraud. Not to mention, those insurance companies have some pretty in depth investigators, if they were ever seen in person they'd likely have charges filed for fraud.
