My general rule to doors is that if I can pick it up with two hands and walk around home depot with it, the door isn't worth putting up. If you have solid would doors this type of thing doesn't happen.

Interior or exterior doors?

I know most interior doors are thin like this. Sure, some may be thicker but most don't have deadbolts and can be easily kicked in regardless.

If this was a front door then yea, that's horrible and unacceptable.

That's what's pickling my head, its very clearly an internal hollow core door (this is very clear), having a dead bolt and a chain on that type of door is almost like putting a dead bolt and a chain on a cardboard box - it will do absolutely nothing to stop someone getting in and is entirely pointless.

This is the rule for all doors in my house. No point to owning a door that someone can walk through like its a water fall or something. Now a days all interior doors are cheap pieces of shit like the one in the vid. My interior doors are old doors, old doors that I bought and restored, or solid doors built by a family member of mine.

GTA viral marketing has gone too far.

Looks fake as fuck.

No matter what it is, somebody will inevitably claim it looks "fake as fuck"...

Did they get their buddy to plant a fake news story with the local media:

[Demon Ice]

It's pretty real

That's how a gun really sounds like

That's how a man in pain having a hard time breathing really sounds like

That is indeed a door breaking down

and those are indeed real news stories reporting on this incident.

Nah man I think it's fake I've played enough CoD to know

 

[Ambition]

Nice paper door, maybe he'll upgrade and get a good ol solid cardboard door.

 

[starchild excalibur]

Looks fake as fuck.

There's always one of these comments.

And regarding the door: yeah, it's a shitty door. But depending on how cheaply built the apartment was in the first place, I don't doubt for a second that they could have a door that poorly constructed. So much shit is made out of MDF these days, it doesn't surprise me.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

wtf that door. anyway good thing this dude had a gun or that maniac would've chopped them up.

 

[exmachina64]

Being its an apartment. Its likely the landlord is a cheap fuck who put in cheap bedroom style doors as main entry doors. Typical bedroom door is a bit of wood covering over hollow cardboard style inside.

Very easy to go through

This. They're much more common than GAF thinks.

Another thing to be wary of is how cheaply doors tend to be installed in newly-built homes in "cookie cutter" subdivisions. The door itself is sturdier, but can be forced open easily.

Guy needs to invest in this door:

edit: fucking hell even the "cheap" / "shitty" door is powerful as all hell

 

[Demon Ice]

I don't know, these situations seem kinda unlikely.

That would make me feel so much better if it happened to me and I had no gun.

"Man, what are the odds?"

 

[TOM f'N CRUISE]

in my old house the doors on the inside(rooms/ bathroom) where pretty shitty that you could kick your way into it if you wanted to.. but the frontdoor etc etc where made of solid wood. even still... that door looked EVEN shittier then our old ones

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

My man bought a stunt door and put a chain lock on it.

 

[Elija2]

Convo at the end is especially freaky:

Man, this is a weird peak into the mind of an attempted murderer.

 

[WorldStar]

thank god he had a gun

also, for those saying it is fake: it's not

 

[xDUMPWEEDx]

That's British as fuck.

I could see this dialogue being in Monty Python.

 

[Dopus]

Sad video.

 

[Neue Regel]

"Man, what are the odds?"

Agreed, everyone should be armed, it's doing America so great at the moment.

 

[Marvel]

Sad video.

The guy survived and is getting the help he needs.

Could have been a lot worse though, sheesh. Intense stuff.

 

[Neo C.]

I can't remember ever seeing a door that shitty.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

A door made from bread. Well I never.

lol.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Crazy video. Being shot in the chest sounds as painful as I'd imagine it to be.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Garbage landlord and the sort of straw house scenario that you encounter in homes built over the past 15-20 years for suburban developments.

I grew up in a home with doors large enough to split your head open if they fell on you(this happened, I was 6), so seeing a door like the one in the OP is just ridiculous to me.

Guy sounds like he's chargin' his kamehameha
