Recently, a video surfaced on the internet showing a man riding a motorcycle ramming into a car that had stopped to let a dog cross the road. The incident left many people unsure as to what the correct course of action should have been, as it seemed that neither side was entirely to blame. As a result, people began to debate whether the incident should be called a “Block or Charge?” Should be classified as a condition.
The clip shared on the micro-blogging site shows a red colored car stopping at a zebra crossing to allow the three-legged dog to cross the road. Unfortunately, a motorcyclist behind the car failed to notice the parked vehicle and collided with it, flipping the car onto its bonnet. The incident left many Internet users scrambling to find who was at fault, but the lack of a clear culprit left them feeling confused and unsure.
Since being shared, the video has evoked mixed reactions from online users as some expressed their concern for the well-being of the motorcyclist, while others felt it was unfair to not pay attention to your surroundings while driving at high speed. He was to blame for giving. “He didn’t stop at all. What was he doing? Where was he looking?” one user asked, while another commented, “I wonder what his excuse was.”

Many people were relieved that the dog was unharmed as one of them wrote, “At least the dog with three legs was fine”. “I’m glad the dog was okay, well if only he had made it to the other side of the road. The motorcyclist should have paid attention too,” commented another.

Former basketball star Rex Chapman also joined the conversation, using a “block or charge” analogy to describe the incident. Most users sided with “charge,” arguing that the stationary car blocked the dog’s path, causing a collision. “Car was stationary, setting pickup for dog. Defender ran into set pickup,” commented one user, while another noted, “Charge! Ladies screening for dog!”

“Block or charge” is a viral meme that gained popularity after the former Kentucky and NBA star used it to describe situations that were difficult to interpret as right or wrong. In basketball, “block” and “charge” refer to two types of fouls. Call that depends on the position of the defender and offensive player.
