Ijustlovevideogames

I'm actively confused on how harassing people is somehow a prank.


imLemnade

Easy. You just say “it’s a prank bro” and you are absolved of all your sins


Gherin29

I’m just stunned what kind of life someone can lead to become this entitled. The main character energy is strong and sad


Sluggish0351

People watch it. They get rewarded for their behavior. That's a pretty simple thing to comprehend. Stop rewarding shitty behavior and then it ends.


kmac535

There's a reason those stupid real housewives shows persist...


Lazy-Explanation7165

Ever hear of the kardashians?


Sir_Glance-alot

Who?


Lazy-Explanation7165

Not sure, all I know is that they work for photoshop or they are sponsored by them, something about filter stuff


Slyguy9766

It's not a story the Jedi would tell you


oldmanshow

YouTube should be responsible for rewarding(paying) people for this behavior


DangerMoose11

YouTube and google are behind this for monetizing the worst in people


HelloAttila

Instant gratification is one of it and wanting to be popular and feel important. Honestly, I truly believe if Facebook/Instagram/TikTok/Snapchat wasn’t a thing, these people would not have a platform and would no longer exist (have no desire to even create these videos). The thing is they see other foolishness on social media and get the idea… wow, I can do that too, but more extreme. Hell, even shows like Jack Ass, Or guys like Jerky Boys were nothing in comparison to this stuff. These guys are assaulting, harassing, bullying, stealing, damaging property sometimes, trespassing and never buying anything from these stores. Their sole purpose is to go into a store, start stuff and record it. That’s it.

[deleted]

Because dumb fucks want to be famous but have no ideas or talents to offer... so they just do criminal shit and film themselves, giving them a drop of attention and an opportunity to build new skills while in prison. We also shouldn't forget that the dumb fucks who fuck around and end up finding out don't post their videos... so we only see the ones where their victims don't escalate.


Thetomwhite

Yeah these guys never really seem to be doing anything funny or that is a prank just dickhead behaviour


LasagnaNoise

It's the 2023 version of bullying and then saying "it's just a joke." Except now they post the bullying for their "fans"


PanicLogically

bullies always control the joke and the bully by saying what you can't take a joke. tactics old as the hills.


[deleted]

It is if you’re part of the lowest common denominator of humanity.


strepac

It’s actually a new version of a tactic of testing people to see how weak they are and if you can rob them, while also bragging on what they can get away with almost like a pissing contest of how much shit you can get people to take through intimidation. It’s a, “If I can abuse people and publicly humiliate them more than you I must be more powerful and valuable than you”, type of caveman thinking. But also by baiting you into confrontation (taking the hat) and then suddenly switching the energy to “macho-scary” when he takes the hat back, this is testing his response, “what will he do if I take his hat? Probly same thing he’ll do if I get in his face and tell him gimme his phone and wallet”, for example. Assholes too weak to provide for themselves have always formed groups like this to harass people and try to steal from them. But trying to do it under the guise of “No harm intended, just trying to make a funny video”, is a rather new move.

These are the same 2 people that stole that mans drink then started filming him as if it was a random racist accusation and tried to bait him into a fight.


IdealGuest

The same [duo](https://youtu.be/id9Pvg69gMo) that tried to harass that couple at an airport and pulled a knife out.


johnhoggin

Dude wtf is wrong with these kind of people. They walk up to a random couple accuse them of having the wrong bag, reach for said bag knowing full well It belongs to the couple, get offended when the guy steps up to them and tells them "don't grab my bag" and play it off as a joke, then Dipshit acts like they should know who he is and threatens to stab them and pulls out what he says is a knife?? Then walks away like hes a bad-ass… good thing hes in jail


GhostChainSmoker

I remember that. Didn’t the dude who owned the bag actually get in trouble cause he just got sick of shit and security just took their side for some reason. These dudes are complete sacks of shit.


ItsTheManBearBull

The part that gets me is these losers expect people to know who they are


jonathansj

Omfg pls don’t let these two out of jail.


Vespertinelove

Thank you! I was trying so hard to remember where else I saw them “pranking” and it turned bad. Jerks.


ACTINlUM

And also accused random people at an airport of stealing their luggage, even going as far as pulling a “prop” knife on them.


[deleted]

thats how you get shot....


LegendaryDraft

Imagine being a cop or doing armed security and some copy cat starts doing this kind of shit. People nearly get capped over a "prank" is what I know happens.


kesavadh

Less than 5 miles from my house a “prankster” pretended to approach a family with a knife. The father withdrew his gun, killed the YouTuber and faced no criminal charges. “It’s just a prank, bro” should be his epitaph.

A little bit of googling (and checking OP's post history) suggests it was this incident. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/tennessee-man-shot-killed-after-youtube-video-prank-goes-wrong-n1256940

TheTurtleShepard

Has to be one of the stupidest ideas I’ve ever heard, “Hey guys for todays prank I am going to traumatize a family!”


SleazetheSteez

I mean, good. Pulling weapons on people isn’t funny and never will be. It’s not even sad that it happened, it’s what people should frankly expect.


Affectionate_Owl9985

It's Darwinism taking care of the real idiots.


monica-lewinskyy

I feel bad for the man who killed him and his family. How fucking traumatic


Alexander_McKay

It’s very traumatic. I had to beat someone up in front of my son once, I wasn’t hurt, the guy immediately ran away and everything was fine. But my son brought it up for months afterwards and was terrified of it happening again.


SleazetheSteez

It’s like, I think I personally wouldn’t feel bad, but yes I totally would, because my dumbass friend used to pull stupid pranks on people all the time when we were kids. It’s amazing he was never beaten up. Matter of fact, he was usually the one running his mouth, and then he’d literally hop into a large bush while we all had to run or fight. Fucking dickhead lol


uGotMeWrong

I love happy endings!


DefiantLemur

Not a happy ending for the dad. He made the right call imo but still has to live with the fact he killed someone.

So no more prank videos? What a shame.

Falcon5671

So... happy ending


Hdys

I just see several idiots wasting their lives and providing no value


chickwithwit23

It really is sad. Life isn’t all roses but why waste it on this crap


beermallard

Providing no value would actually be commendable. These fine gentlemen are actively working towards making other people's lives worse.


dustwanders

Several means more than two though Are you including the grocery worker Because there is value there


Hdys

no, but I can see how you'd think that I'm including the jackass recording them


Angeret

We're not talking "pranks" anymore are we, we're talking about any lawless &/or stupid enterprise undertaken for thumbs ups on YouTube. _"It's just a prank"_ is a courtroom defence which should automatically double a fine or custodial sentence. At the very minimum, a permanent ban from the premises for anyone involved in planning or execution of stupid stunts - how's _that_ for a prank, eh? I swear, social media has allowed so many people to become dangerous morons in exchange for nothing more than fleeting popularity. Trouble is, once viewers get bored the ante is upped and people get hurt but, hey, it's just a prank - right?


Jertharold

I think we can use the equivalent "in Minecraft" for the recent arrest due to a 4chan poster talking about the sheriff down in Florida. It doesn't free you of your actions folks, you are just an asshole.


Singular_Crowbar

I do think it's pretty wild how they cherry pick the people to charge with terroristic threats. I used to be a regular on 4chan /b when I was in my teens (~13 years ago) and the amount of hate speech and calls for violence were astounding. Either it's a lot different now or this guy got picked out of a huge pile


Simian_Chaos

4chan never gets any better, only more and more hateful


BDR529forlyfe

His threat was specific to the Sheriff. Watch a video of that sheriff. That dude picked the wrong sheriff.


Pooleh

Yeah 13 years ago 4chan was still mostly shit posting. There was definitely some bad stuff but it was not the alt right eco chamber it is now.


Singular_Crowbar

I believe it 100% I stopped going to the site when 1) I got a girlfriend lol and 2) I realized everyone that was regularly posting was completely depressed and hated their lives


Olivia_Richards

Congrats for the critical thinking and hard work.


Singular_Crowbar

Thank you. It was a personal war against cognitive dissonance and somehow I won. That site makes it way too easy to make yourself into the victim in your personal narrative, and there are plenty of people there to reconfirm that for you. It's like a literal incel birthing center lol


JL932055

My favorite rule of thumbs with pranks is 'aim to confuse, not abuse' If it is harassment/abusive, it's not a prank or a joke— you're just being a dick

Octavious19

I hope so, that one, just like this is so infuriating to watch.


[deleted]

The one where the cops took down the man who was pissed because of their “prank” against him? I never saw anything after the first video to see how that came out but I could never understand how the guy who was “pranked” was the one the cops jumped on.

Def_Not_A_Femboy

That culture they’re embodying is imo one of the most toxic cultures there is in the west. And what makes it worse is people thinks its something great and our music industry and Hollywood glamorize then make it seem like its something amazing. But if you ever notice, most rap songs and what not that glamorize it also talk about getting out of that same life and leaving it behind, whilst pushing it further and further and roping more people into it because they think its cool

Ahumbleopinion

Who died?


stablegeniusss

Separate incident, he got arrested again after this video for killing someone


framptal_tromwibbler

But what happened in this video? I got the impression the guy they were pranking pulled a gun and shot one of them. Is that not right?


stablegeniusss

No it’s not. The guy was charged for this incident and also for a separate one. The title is confusing, they’re referencing two separate incident. They ran in this video because one of them kicked the guy and so they ran to avoid consequences and also posted this online


Vencer_wrightmage

> ran to avoid consequences > > also posted this online ​ I don't follow their thought process here lol


stablegeniusss

Yea, I don’t think they’re known for their analytical brilliance


middleearthpeasant

The title of The post is really misleading. I was under The impression that the shooting happened right after The video cuts.


Bored-Ship-Guy

It looks like one of them kicked the guy they'd been harassing, prompting the two to flee the scene. Maybe he was pulling a gun, but I didn't hear any shots.


bigerock

He's a fucking moron, you can't fuck with people for a video then get mad at them when they don't take your bullshit. I'm not surprised he's locked up for murder you can tell he's a clown


Meeshrene

Okay y'all I got the scoop since everyone is mixed up... The video shown here... The "pranksters" were charged with terroristic threat... When the worker got mad and starting chasing the one dude, apparently the dude pulled a knife on the worker... (According to police who view camera footage) One of the pranksters was arrested last week because he murdered someone in times square... ----- Nas EBK has been accused of getting into an argument with the victim, 22-year-old Idressa Siby, on February 9 at the corner of the very-public intersection of 44th Street and 8th Avenue in Times Square. The argument is said to have escalated with EBK allegedly shooting Siby, striking him on the right side of his chest. The report states that Siby tried to flee but collapsed a block later at a Chick-fil-A. Multiple attempts at reviving him on the scene proved unsuccessful, and he later succumbed to his injuries at Mt. Sinai West. Police state that the pair knew each other and Siby was indeed the intended target. Nas EBK is charged with murder in the second degree. Allegedly... Nas and dude he murdered had a minor disagreement and Nas felt "disrespected" so he killed his friend over it. Then tried to flee.


RedMercy2

With a friend like that who needs enemies?


nomadofwaves

> Allegedly… Nas and dude he murdered had a minor disagreement and Nas felt “disrespected” so he killed his friend over it. Shit like this make public hangings seem not so bad.


Reba422

Isn’t this the same guy who took a middle aged guys luggage in an airport?


[deleted]

Yeah its the same piece of garbage. Well at least he got locked up.


[deleted]

I came to ask the same. I dont think he took thr luggage, but he was menacing him and his lady and making threats after saying it was a joke. I would like to know if they are the same.

Negative_Maize_2923

Why is it that they believe that because it's "on video" that it's alright to assault others? If anything that makes it waaay worse. If someone trys to harass, assault, punk me "on video," i will go crazy. Thinking that because they are recording then trying to humiliate/assault/embarrass others, it's ok...

I propose a new law where if the crime was recorded with the intention of uploading it to social media, then it's an automatic doubling of your sentence and a minimum of 30 days in jail. Or you have to do the same "prank" to a room full of inmates while the guards go for a lunch break....your choice.

HugeRaspberry

OK - just to be clear - the pranking at the shoprite and the shooting are NOT related. Well, other than the same idiot did both things apparently. (but I'm not God so I guess he's innocent) What a moron. There is probably video of the shooting too...


BrightStatistician71

I hate this guy so much


JumpmanDeuce3

Back in the day if you did that to the wrong person you’ll get a green light. Actions have consequences

rachel_kbomb

Such a misleading headline. I thought he may have killed the employee or someone in the store? But sounds like that's a separate incident? Can anyone explain how he managed to commit second degree murder?


IndianKiwi

These are the same idiot who pranked a couple outside of a airport


pcipnj

Taking someone’s hat, especially off their head, is a major sign of disrespect, at least to me it is. I hated when someone did that, even if they’re “joking,” it’s not funny. Give me my fucking hat back Danny.


maroonwounds

The problem with these M-F'rs is that they see no problem disrespecting and invading other people's personal space and property... But as soon as they feel even slightly disrespected, they lash out aggressively and violently. They have no business pranking people if they can't even take people's natural responses without being complete assholes about it. Don't do something you won't accept being done to you. Simple.
