Moment of silence for the person that ordered the food and wondered why it never came…
lol
😂
😂😂
Savage 😅
If they knew what he did they would tip him 100$ just to be on the safe side.
It’s the reason to leave people alone and respect their boundaries, this wouldn’t happened had this prankster left him alone
20$ says this tool will be right back at it when he recovers
@@ThickMinnesotaAccentHe already said that he plans to keep doing the "pranks."
Still very improper use of a firearm
I find it very confusing how people would speak about free speech benefits their agenda for point. But free speech goes off the table when you're annoying 🤨🤨🤨🤨
Well anyway something kind of like this happen to me that I thought I was very much Justified. But because every single person is in a minority they sided with the other guy and said it was free speech even though it very much wasn't 🙄. What happened was that a guy was yelling multiple racist slurs against me and then threatening me. And then when I said something back to him he got aggravated and pissed off so he started to come at me so I shut them up. And I was told that I was in the wrong for doing what I did. Because racist slurs are okay because you know cares 🙄🙄🙄. But then if I was to call your wife a B or you white 🗑. That's not ok.... I find this whole thing very odd and confusing that if the other person can understand your point of view then it's okay even though they're not going to look at the situation as a hole
It wouldn't have happened this time, sure. But this delivery driver was unhinged. He likely would have gone on to shoot someone else later on during some other altercation.
This isn’t a prank. It’s harassment and bullying.
I don't know why this is so hard for people to understand. Even this "pranksters" father is making excuses for him, & not understanding that his son was harassing this man.
Absolutely not a prank. Not even near funny
But it is not a reason to shoot someone dude is a damn idiot
You don’t get to shoot someone over harassment or bullying.
a prank IS harrassment!
Another classic case of F around and find out.
One important thing to remember about this is that the video does not start at the beginning of the encounter. The "prankster" followed the driver and stared at him in an intimidating way for 90ish seconds before approaching. That kind of behavior is almost guaranteed to put someone on high alert and definitely contributed to the driver's reaction.
1 minute 30 seconds.😱
"Tanner Cook"
@@hockeyguy820 where are you from because I'm right here chilling smoking some bud watching TH-cam. And I guarantee it's better than your gross lil country. Europe Asia, Middle East, Africa, all those continents are wild when it comes to war and other shi lmao can't forget about Central America. All I got to worry about is TH-camr prankers lmao and maybe your average crackhead. I don't gotta worry about a bomb landing on me. Or a cartel trying to kidnap me.
Thanks for this detail, Doc. It makes a difference and likely contributed to his defense. A minute and a half of being watched and followed would certainly elevate anyone's concern and anticipatory anxiety. It doesn't meet the standard of stalking, but could be considered harassment, menacing, and the period of annoying contact has a reasonable potential to be interpreted as a bizarre prelude to assault. Fair guess the jury understood it this way and acquitted him of the greater charge.
@@hockeyguy820It honestly just makes me sad to hear things like this. It is absolutely shocking to me how many people on this Earth not only let themselves be stripped of their fundamental rights, but have convinced themselves to cheer for it and wish the same upon others.
Jury: acquitted on basis of self defense!
Also jury: you defended yourself in the wrong place!
Well sadly prosecutors will charge someone with 10 extra things to hope something sticks, and there are a lot of laws on the books. So many laws no one person can keep up with them, yet ignorance isnt an excuse apparently.
Anyway if you are following the law to the letter, sometimes yeah you might get convicted over something dumb or idiotic.
Thing is, he thought he was defending himself. He actually did but in the wrong way. The problem is, he used deadly force where a deadly threat did not exist. If anything, he was facing a threat of ordinary force. Pepper spray or a punch in the face would've been more appropriate.
@@hiltonlive32grnrngr
I do agree, even so. That guy was way taller, 250+ pounds, and on top of that he had two other guys with him.
You dont typically wanna scrap with someone who is bigger and stronger than you, and has buddies, if a fist fight breaks out, they can take your gun away easily with numbers, or beat you to a pulp. He could have pulled out the gun though but not shot to get them to back off though, and I’d have considered that reasonable.
A threat of a weapon is usually enough to avoid physical violence. If they didnt back off after seeing a gun in his hand, then they deserve to get shot via Darwin award.
Still… I dont think I’d convict on a jury.
@@hiltonlive32grnrngr yep, I agree, it was definitely not the best self defense. Tho we, after the fact, know the outcome, what other videos have we seen when 3 guys surround/follow someone and they cannot just wait to be attacked first to stand a chance. Force multipliers get tricky. If they were criminals trying to isolate him then hurt/rob him, the pepper spray would escalate and not do much against 3 except provoke revenge response.
@@hiltonlive32grnrngryeah, as much as I enjoyed this guy getting what he asked for, it's hard to say it was a proportionate response.
John I felt I needed to amend your description of the encounter: Yes, the guy is bigger than him and sticking a phone in his face however, he has accomplice right next to him AND the camera guy who is clearly with them behind him; so effectively surrounded by these guys. The TH-camr is more than a Morron he was probably a bully in school and now TH-cam has a allowed him to become a professional bully. Despicable.
Yeah, everyone I've seen review this situation either unintentionally or intentionally ignores the fact that there is a third aggressor in the camera man.
As someone who was robbed almost exactly like this. One guy talking to me while the other punched me in the back of the head. Id definitely feel as though something bad was about to happen with one guy trying to distract and the other two lingering around behind me, even if one just has a camera. Think about how many fools video recording themselves commiting crimes
agreed
Bro you can't misspell moron when calling someone a moron
@@xjcrossx lol yeah I did that. I was pretty upset and didn't proof read.
I LOVE seeing "prank" channels where shit like this happens. It's beautiful.
You must be really mental or been Divorced many times weirdo 😅😅
It's not a prank, it's harassment. I wouldn't trust any stranger approaching me like that in today's crazy world.
Also, kid's parents did a real crappy job. Congrats.
Yes. There's another video from a news clip. The father was saying that people don't have a sense of humor. It was just a joke.
His dad is a nothing
If my son behaved this way id apologize to the guy who shot him for having to deal with the trauma of having shot someone
@Nahmanides1 In no sane persons mind is it justified to SHOOT someone who is clearly just a youtuber making a stupid prank putting a phone near you. To be fair, the guy who shot is a sensitive, mentally challenged lunatic and a danger to society.
Imagine having to live in fear of approaching anyone as they might SHOOT you dead for ignoring one soft request to "back up"
@@DeepestQuotesAnd Well, super glad we don't have sensitive sociopaths like you deciding "who can be part of society" aka who should be "allowed" to live 👍
The world is full of crazy (including your crazy ideology), youtubers are not our main concern.
Justified or not, this just shows that people are tired of the BS and want it to stop.
Amin
Could also show that not everyone should have a firearm.
It shows that the TH-camr is dumb but the delivery driver is an unhinged lunatic who has no problem shooting in a crowded mall
Yea sht was funny 10 years ago. Pranks are overplayed now
Amen ! Dont get into peoples faces ! But the OC spray would have been best choice
The worst part is his parents say they will continue to support his choices. Society has failed I hope this man walks free of everything
It's even worse TH-cam lets him keep his "channel." I know someone who lost her channel for far less.
you are unhinged you know that? Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. plain and simple. He used deadly force when there was no deadly threat.
Alphabet Inc is making money hand over fist trying to destroy society and rebuild it in their own image and all these thoughtless trolls want to blame the food guy? It's them that made him react with deadly force and I hope they don't fuck around thinking they'll never be the ones that find out 😣
@@adventsociety5382 removed your self-like for ya. No worries. Also - the court disagrees. Thanks anyway.
The parents should pay his legal fees and thank him for disciplining their son since they never did
What threat do you face when someone is following so closely that their arm goes behind your head when you stop retreating and how long are you required to wait around for them to pull out a weapon before you do?
You aren't required to wait around at all. I'd be outta there.
Get close to me like that and we will see.
@@spencerific93that’s what he was doing but leadbelly and friends kept following.
Bullying is a legitimate threat. ‘I’m not a bully, I’m a prankster’ is a load of bull.
The only difference seems to be a prankster films their bullying for money
Threat? Yes.
Deadly threat where deadly force is reasonable in self-defense? No.
@@ksink74 I disagree. This warrants deadly force.
Redbull!
no way hes a felon to me. you can't shoot indoors in a mall when someones not threatening your life.@@EZ_Case
The real victim is the person who's still waiting on their food.
Correct conclusion.
The delivery guys not getting a tip either
🔥
Yup
Exactly… looking at the app like “dang he hasn’t moved yet?”
This is a great video and the lessons to learn from it are many. I love when you said that “the process is the punishment”. You cannot stress that enough that yeah, he may have escaped a long prison term but it still costed him a LOT.
Justifying deadly force is highly subjective because people react to fear differently.
2 points to be noted:
1. Another man who was simply trying to make a living for himself and family, now has his life ruined by another person seeking fun.
2. Anybody that stares another down and proceeds to harassment is a NATURAL bully. These are people who proactively seek out the weak and vulnerable to carry out harm, just to gratify their ego. They always leave trauma in their trails.
There was some guy doing this for you tube content, in ghetto type areas, and was threatened more than once, and even had a gun pulled on him.
The punishment for shoving a phone in ur face is not death by shooting LMAO. I agree they should both be punished...the shooter would have shot someone else for a silly argument eventually clearly! He's clearly not ok in the head, who shoots someone for a silly altercation??? Not a normal person.
@@UnrealSicknessfacts
there was no reasonable threat of death or great bodily harm to the man.
to the man he is a stranger, he is taller and has friends following and recording him, doing weird shit as well. he told him to stop 3 times and to get away, and even walked away himself and got followed, i would say hes a reasonable threat at that point @@robertsaget9697
His size and demeanor is threatening to any person, especially with his insistence on staying in others personal space. He met a smaller yet determined person
That legally justifies the use of normal force (strike, shove, pepper spray), not deadly force (gun, knife, etc.). There is not remotely any legal or moral justification for use of deadly force in the scenario as presented in the entire history of Western Jurisprudence all the way back to Biblical times. There is simply no legal or moral justification for how the delivery driver acted in this scenario. You can’t just shoot someone because you’re scared of them if they don’t actually provide an imminent threat of deadly force; you’re the defender, not the attacker. You can’t give in to your irrational fear in these scenarios. When you do give in and use grossly disproportionate force (deadly force in a normal force scenario), you have just made yourself the attacker.
Stay outta' my personal space...
So if a large person walks up to you and says things you don't like you can shoot him? I get it the guy is annoying as heck but in my view you have to do more than he did to get shot.
@@Doooglusyou can’t shoot someone for being in your personal space, genius. If you do, have fun being turned into someone’s lady boy while serving 25 to life in prison for murder.
@@DefinitelyNotAFed4473there’s a huge difference between being in your personal space and harassing/intimidating someone. You can’t shoot someone because they’re close to you in line. You absolutely can shoot someone if they’re harassing/pursuing you after you’ve asked them to stop numerous times.
A dynamic that is not discussed but makes a case for self-defense is that a second guy was with the prankster who got in his personal space initially. I would wonder why two guys were harassing me, and I would also be scared for my safety.
If you're gonna pull a prank, pull it on a close friend who you're confident will not be put off by it.
TH-cam should demonetize such pranksters. That would significantly reduce the problem
They're far too busy demonetizing peer-reviewed science that doesn't follow the "narrative."
Agreed. These pranks have gotten out of control.
Hope the powers that be at TH-cam atleast consider this type of content is no bueno
agreed
I'm pretty sure they have been doing that for years already
Something that people rarely address is that a lot of crimes are committed under the fog of confusion and this is how people sometimes distract you when they are going to do something horrible to you.
...good point
Exactly
True, we watched Antifa use that tactic
100% correct
The driver was also out-numbered and could have felt that "phone guy" was a distraction while the others were added threats.
Solid take, John, had the exact same reaction when I saw this.
You forget that the shooter was being surrounded by 3 men. You got the giant doofus, his friend with the stripes, and the cameraman. Being harassed and surrounded by 3 men can be a harrowing situation.
at what timestamp in the video is he surrounded?
Still not a deadly threat.
@@bryanb3352 The whole video...
@@Milocinia lol.. Are you blind or a liar or both?
@@redtalks4274so what would you do? Run and scream like a bitch so that the guy can post you all over the internet? I think he did well.
The reason I sympathize more with the delivery guy is that the "prankster's" actions were so strange they couldn't be put into any harmless "box". Is this guy selling me something? No. Is he asking for directions? No. Is he warning me about something? No. This guy is aggressively invading my space and I can think of no legitimate reason.
No matter what, it certainly does not fit into the ‘fearing for my life’ box. He deserves to go to jail for a long long time.
3 guys come walking fast invade your personal space and point a phone at you, bro you are being attacked.
Forget what those damn leftists (communists) tell you this is a clear attack intent, you don't have to be physically hit, anyone with agressive intent that enters punching distance is already attacking you because if he sucker punches you will not have time to react.
@@bcamplite621no he doesn’t. Should’ve aimed higher and set a point for these TH-camrs.
Aggressive invasion of space while holding a phone in a crowded mall is far from a deadly threat. That guy was rolling the dice on some way more serious charges and got lucky.
We need to reduce the number of idiot attention whore pranksters and this guy is doing a public service if anything
The fact that he was tall saved him.... if he was the same height as the shooter, he would have taken it in the heart
Glad you covered this. Thanks
People who go up to and intimidate strangers like this deserve what they get.
i like how John isnt afraid to point out idiots and respectively call them so
He is afraid to show the video though for some reason when he’s showed far worse
@@asylumrainIf he has 'shown' (correct spelling) far worse, then logic would dictate that he is not showing the full video for other reasons.
@@asylumrainThen where is the rest of the video or the portion of it he's apparently afraid to show? I've watched different copies of this video throughout TH-cam and they all seem to freeze-frame right when the shot breaks, so I'm confident enough to bet that it's really that this was the best copy of the video he could find and didn't have access to the "fuller" version of the video. Lessons are still the same regardless.
@@hiltonlive32grnrngr I didnt try to dig for any other people who posted this as I just commented and moved on with my day. I assumed he just paused it there for some reason.
@@asylumrainDon’t make baseless assumptions next time
OC spray would have been perfect for this situation.
John, thanks to your channel and your sponsor, I have a level of defense available to me that is NOT lethal and relatively convenient to carry. There's a shipment of 4 OC canisters on the way as I type this.
TH-cam needs to shut these channels down. They probably don't because of the ad revenue.
*Let him taste the hot sauce with his eyes, it'll be a lifelong lesson he'll NEVER FORGET!!*
A prank is where everybody laughs, not when one person is getting arrested and another has a gunshot wound.
Great point!
...like that cowboy statue guy or the "tree man" pranks
Its actually refreshing to see this. Ive seen too many average citizens be harrassed and tormented
Refreshing would've been the victim having never been charged in the first place...
Hope neither of you own firearms. You cannot shoot someone for pranking you.. did you two dumb dumbs just roll in on the bus from Stupid Town?
Lol “tormented”
This is honestly the best nuanced opinion I've heard on this incident so far
"Queen of cellblock c in the heinypoke hotel" tf 😂😅😂
This incident is the definition of "play stupid games win stupid prizes".
I bet breaking his phone would hurt him more than the gunshot.
If his parents were responsible adults, they'd restrict his internet usage.
What an incredibly dumb statement.🤣😂🤦♂️
You said it all! Appreciate your channel😎👍
At least we know this ain’t a fake prank channel
This kid is never gonna learn even with this valuable lesson. Because in a interview he said he’s still going to continue with his pranks. This is what happens when you have a high ego!
And/or low brains.
High ego in addition to being stupid and disrespectful.
Bottom line: the delivery driver is NOT a threat to society. None of this would have happened had some big goon not gotten in his face and relentlessly pursued him while he attempted to retreat. (and don't forget there was a second guy too) He only fired one single round from what appears to be a "mouse gun". Small sub-caliber pistols like that are often described as "get off me" guns and that was exactly what the delivery driver wanted. That said, I do wish he had some kind of pepper spray as a less deadly option.
I could not have worded the totality of the purpose of the legal system any better. Perfect comment.
The camera guy made it 3 of them
Yeah he’s a big goofy 🤪. And yes delivery 🚚 man should be behind bars. lol…
He wasn't just being followed by 1 idiot he was surrounded by two guys plus the camera man near the end. I completely understand why he reacted this way and yeah he should be acquitted all charges if it was found to be a defensive shooting. OC would have been a better option but you can only use the tools that you have on you.
Delivery driver told him to stop, and the prankster kept persuing and harrasing him...BANG i think that was justified.
eeeeerm, so if people don't do what you ask them once to do, you start blasting?
Gotcha 👍
Delivery guy wasnt under any imminent deadly threat.
@@danw918 NO; only when or if they harrasing and intimidating me, invading my private space. If I tell someone to stop and they keep harrasing me; it will be a negative outcome. thats how you deal with knuckheads and bullies, you make em feel it. People are tired of the bullcrap.
@@redtalks4274 How did he know that?
@@revinot because you wont die from a phone in your face.
That little guy could have been bullied his whole life. You never pick on people as adults you don’t know
Been waiting for you to review this John.
Let this be a lesson to any aspiring you tube trolls.
Our society is devolving at a fast pace.
A downard spiral.
Yep, the social contract has been broken for awhile now.
No, it's not. People are still people. You're just better able to see these folks because of the internet. These things have always happened.
@@waitaminute-vw9hfit's only a matter of time before division 2 becomes real.
Social media has spawned a whole generation of look at me. Without a world wide audience, this jokester would not exist. @@RyeOnHam
I feel for the delivery driver, he was just trying to do his job when these two thugs decided to harass him.
"Thugs" 😂😂
3...there were 3. Disparity of force achieved.
when the two joeys decided to harass him you mean my cracka
I feel sorry for the people wondering where their order is.
I feel sorry for his momma cause it looks like he ain't left her basement in weeks
You guys think the 5 hour deliberation was entirely just the jury watching it on repeat?
perfect time for the oc spray imo, you keep making great cases for it 😆
The Jury really disliked the TH-camr, and they felt sorry for this scared little man who just wanted to be left alone. Don't count on the jury feeling that way in your trial. Just let your Pepper spray save the day.
Absolutely. I say he was really lucky here
Exactly. Pepper spray was the right defense here. Shooting him was going way overboard and he now is paying for that. But he also got lucky, in that the other guy survived. Had he died, I doubt that the jury would have acquitted him on any of the charges.
What’s the other option since he most likely didn’t have pepper spray?
@@KhmerShadow If you carry a guy, you also carry pepper spray. You prepare in advance.
He wasn't justified in shooting him. Maybe a kick to his sensitive parts would have been in order.
Amen brother.@@my3dviews
Was the pranker charged with harassment? Should serve time for that, it would keep him away from the public and safe for a while.
Nice
That was not legal harassment
The real question here is,
Did the prankster learn his lesson to leave people alone?
You got asked yourself,
Did the prankster and his posse learn their lesson?
Are other pranksters going to learn from this?
Learn to leave people alone.
Learn not to post on tic tock.
Learn to get a real job.
@@poormiserablesinner4600 We don't use deadly force to teach lessons.
Wonderful advice and commentary as usual.
Hadn't watched in a while the beard took me by surprise hahaha
The guy is 6’5” and probably 250+ lbs. if you’ve told them to leave you alone and they continue to pursue you, there has be be an equalizer to protect yourself. He asked politely, he pushed the phone away and then the next step is a physical altercation. It was absolutely justified.
You don't get to shoot people just because they're bigger than you
A phone in your face is not a deadly threat no matter how annoying. Normal physical force would be justified but not deadly force.
Yeah, not how it works. He could pepper spray him. He could push him away. He can't use deadly force. You could argue if the big dude fought back, then disparity of force might be a justification, but that didn't happen.
Respectfully, you're wrong. Someone bigger than you, in your space, and following you doesn't necessarily mean they're a deadly threat. He didn't verbally or physically present an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm. If the Doordash delivery guy punched him or blasted him with OC spray, sure. But a bigger person being in your space and following you with a phone in your face doesn't authorize the use of deadly force.
@@redtalks4274 Normal physical force against that goon? I'd like to see you try to win that fight. I'll bring popcorn.
As someone who has been on two criminal trials, how you live your life matters. This guy 100% got off because the aggressor was a huge a**hole who part of the jury thought deserved it.
In my manslaughter trial, the jury was hung by one person simply because the victim was a huge bag of d**ks and the perpetrator was a likable young kid turning his life around.
You were a juror or you were convicted of manslaughter and refer to yourself in the third person?
@@coryc9040 with the “on two criminal trials” in the first paragraph and lack of first person statements in only half of the second, it should be relatively easy to extrapolate the correct answer. If not, maybe I was a juror or maybe I was juror on two criminal trials who was also charged with manslaughter to a hung jury who speaks in the third person….sometimes…and in an odd roundabout way. 🤷🏼♂️. Who can say?
@@Quietuloved that reply 😂 bravo👏
Muricah justice
haha, I also loved your reply...very articulate.@@Quietu
Queen in cell block C to all these other dudes in heinie poke hotel 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 man I love your language delivery.
Delivery driver looked kinda unhinged but no tears shed for the prankster.
Some pranks are funny, but there are way too many people that push it far too far. I am surprised this hasn't happened more often.
It happens. Not talked about much.
It needs to happen every time. An armed society is a polite society. Pranksters need to start feeling the deadly consequences to not being polite.
@3rdcoastambit220 weird that people keep saying that when the US is heavily armed but definitely not a polite society. Maybe double the number of guns, and that will work.
Or give everyone pocket nukes.
No pranks on total strangers minding their own business is ever funny. If anyone wants to do pranks then get a bunch of friends and do it to each other, this shit has been going on for years and I don't know why people find it amusing.
And when they push things too far they always it’s just a prank bro! Take it easy.
Guess the prankster found out the hardway that some people just don't want to be pestered.
A group of grown ass men harassing isn't pranksters, just losers.
Sadly it doesn’t seem like the prankster learned any sort of lesson. Even his parents seem pretty oblivious to how toxic their kids behavior is.
Classic "It's just a prank Bro!" moment.
This is a sad story. The defense lawyers will say "but-for this TH-camr picking a random person to harass, none of this would have happened". I would have a difficult time if I was on the jury. This innocent non-engaging person is just walking when he gets ambushed.
"ambushed" lmao. u r pathetic.
2 things to consider.. 1. Buddy was within striking distance. 2. There was a second person following him. Why wouldn't he be afraid for his life?
striking distance doesn't mean he's going to strike you. go into a populated city and there will be people everywhere within striking distance and people following you.
No weapon bro
@@artvandelay837
Yet he was told multiple times to “stop” and leave him alone.
@@DavidLopez-gv8mo
Does not matter.
It's not normal to feel your life is threatened just because someone is being weird and annoying.
Bottom line is, leave people alone, you don't know where people are in their minds or what they're going through, just go about your business and keep it moving, it's simple..
As a cop and someone who hates bully’s and entitled idiots, this comment is the closest to my initial thought on this situation and my regular thoughts and what I find myself saying to someone, at least once a day, both on and off duty.
but he’s gotta make that sweet sweet low effort youtube cash
John I can't believe you didn't say it this time. This was the perfect scenario for play stupid games and win stupid prizes. On the TH-camrs part that is.
The real tragedy is the loss of a take-out order.
I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often. Those pranksters get out of hand
Hey opto
Problem could have been solved before it started if these “pranksters” were arrested and properly punished the first time they do crap like this. Rather the justice system waits until a predictable outcome like this happens to decide they care.
Arrested for what? I don't think they committed any crime.
@@jerrymason7887 Creating a nuisance / disturbing the peace / creating a disturbance
Harrasment/intimidation.
The prankster was over the top and out of line. I'm rolling with guy defending himself. He should walk Scott free on all charges.
Prankster should be charged for harassment too.
Was looking for this content😂😂
The guy is a bully, thought he found an easy target for his b.s.. He chose poorly.
There’s a post trial interview with the bully. He literally makes a face at the reporter and his mom laughs. This comes from his parents!
Wow. That's heinous.
so he's a mini version of his parents
SHOCKER
correction: bigger version 😹
Doesn't he brag about it or something?
Exactly. Also, the Dad, instead of saying "My son is a class-A jerk. He's lucky he wasn't killed. Hope he learns a valuable lesson", he excuses the son's behavior with (paraphrased) "My son was no threat". No wonder the BOY has no respect for anything or anyone. Dad never taught him discipline, and mom takes side of the son when he misbehaves. Totally picture him ending up laid out in the hospital or in the morgue the next time his tries another of these stunts. Guaranteed, Cook didn't learn his lesson, and won't stop with the damn stunts. Getting THOU$AND$/month is huge incentive to continue.
John you are hilarious, love your channel. peace and love
Good point! The poor guy is paying hundreds of thousands dollars for a situation he didn’t ask for or want.
Was his force a little hasty and excessive.. yes.. but when you have been a victim you learn, you strike first.
You don’t wait for someone to knock you out while their buddy records it.
We live in a world now where people are not nice and if they are recording you.. it probably isn’t good.
They were preying on scaring and confusing him. All of their body language implied an ambush, a big guy pushes a diversion in your face as you sense two other guys coming up on your blind sides. Justified.
100%
That guy is nothing but a bully that got what he deserves. Notice how he chooses a smaller guy to screw with. He wouldn’t do that to someone who is equal in size to him or bigger. That guy was scared and did what he felt he needed to do to get him to stop coming at him.
Definitely. Him and his parents are not well
Guaranteed you cant defend yourself with your own hands Carlos
You can't be serious. You think he deserved to get shot, I don't understand people these days. People just shoot someone for anything now.
@@andrewfields8556 man its alot of unhinged folk in every one of ASP videos comment sections.
Its true and that’s how he was in school
100% agree with you on this John.
These pranksters never cease to amaze me
White on white violence at Popeyes. 😂🤣
The dude just shot him because of a phone dude legit shot up a mall because someone was being a little weird. Dude is definitely a threat to society
You said it John, online pranks are going to far!
Harassment by a group of grown ass men isn't a prank.
Couldve said this on a prank about someone pretending to kill another person, or pretending to be roadmen but nope
"Being the queen of cell block C in the hiney poke hotel" had me dead 😂
Those days are behind John now...
Another one bites the dust.
This will definitely cause this 6"5' dude trauma.
The trauama of knowing your not invincible, and that anyone can flip on a dime.
He wilp check himself before he wrecks himself from now on, or at least switch something up for his safety !
After an individual repeatedly states that they wish to be left alone… they have the right to be left alone. Once the aggressor insists… they get what they deserve.
Pepper spray would have been a better option, but hey, it's America. In Canada, words are our only defense and we usually start the sentence with " I'm sorry but......"😅
@@moemanncann895 And often times, in the situation of a crime, that "I'm sorry, but-" is often interrupted by a "SHLANK" or a "BWOP"
THANK GOD u are not a judge LOL the punishment for shoving a phone in ur face is not death by shooting LMAO. I agree they should both be punished...the shooter would have shot someone else for a silly argument eventually clearly!
There should be a law that goes something like "Leave me alone, I said leave me alone", then BAM, justified shooting after being told twice. TWO strikes and your dead
@@moemanncann895 If it was 1v1, I would agree with you that pepper spray would have been the proper course of action. In a 1v3 situation though a firearm is more appropriate for self defense.
Not sure how we got to this point in society where youth think it's okay to go around shoving their phones into the faces of complete strangers.
Not sure how we got to this point in society where anyone thinks its okay to end someones life because they were annoying you by shoving a phone into your face. Bro is absolutely insane
@subvertedworld Cmon bro grow a pair. It wasn't that serious lol. If your intimidated by a dude holding a phone and a camera then that's on you.
@user-rn9gj5py6l Go ahead u will be getting played with in prison lmao. You cant just go shooting cause u feel threatened.
@@subvertedworld Even with all the other babbling you did that doesnt warrent shooting someone, you need to go to a mental hospital
@@subvertedworld Be mad? Lol what are you 9? No that's actually not how the law works. You cant just shoot cause you feel threatened. He only got off easy because the jury felt bad, he got very lucky. Thats not typical.
Glad you weren’t on the jury, who knows what 2 guys following you are going to do, even unarmed.
No , it wasn’t justified. Satisfying yes, justified no.
The self defense jury instruction says that if self defense is raised as a defense, the jury must find beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused was not acting in self defense in order to convict. Obviously this is a very high standard.
Secondly, John keeps referring to the money this guy is having to pay for his attorney. Let’s face it, he is a delivery driver probably struggling to get by. He likely had a public defender.
He needs to sue the youtuber.
@@jackburton7062 sue youtube 50 million
@@Bryan-og9fw he should start a class action against TH-cam and get all the victims of these idiotic pranks on it so they can sue them for the entire value of the company.
Sue the TH-camr..
Don’t forget there were 3 people surrounding the food delivery driver. The “prankster” and his buddy and the guy holding the camera. He had plenty of reason to believe that 3 dudes surrounding him might do him bodily harm and they would not stop antagonizing him.
He was in no way "surrounded" He was literally walking away without anyone in front of him when he shot the annoying prankster who was on the side of him.
@Sora_Digital. He WAS being surrounded. When someone is filming you with a smartphone while the others are invading your personal space you KNOW something bad is about to go down. How many times have we've seen assaults on TH-cam and social media that start off like that? World Star Hip-Hop is full of them.
@Sora_Digital stop commenting.
didn't see the camera
@@Sora_Digital if I did this to a cop I’d get shot no questions asked. Why do I not have the same right to protect myself
When I saw this video I was floored. I was sure the shooter would get 10-20 in the pen. I was even more shocked when the jury didn't do that. This IS the perfect case for OC. It would be the force equivalent of shoving the guy out of your face. 🤷🏻♂️ I knew you'd have a field day with this one, John. Thanks!
I would have tried more to get away but the stupid guy kept following the small guy so play stupid games get stupid prizes
Let’s see if he does anymore pranks after this one 😂 bet that was the last time 😂😂
This guy pranked me and my coworkers while we were just trying to do our job. The comments on the video sucked to read because they all thought it was funny. We didn’t find it funny; however I did laugh at this one. Probably his best work to date.
I’ve seen this all over the Internet when it happened and This should be seen as a community service.
Absolutely justified. Play stupid games win stupid prizes
Mental harm is worse than bodily harm for some people.
Don't try that on an elderly person, jail time is not a deterrent.
The guys is legitimately working meanwhile an adult baby is tryna play around and get I'm his face w his accessory friend. While it's an inconvenience that the guy is in jail I wanna thank him for standing his ground and not giving into this toxic social media pranks. 👍
On every level this shouldn’t be a lawful shooting but TH-cam pranksters are so annoying that even the jury hated him. Lmao.
Great breakdown
Lets not forget... there's actually 3 guys confronting the defender. The two we see, plus the guy taking this video. I'd say that plenty of reason to be in fear of death or great bodily harm.
Fear in this case is perception, not actual reality. Could the delivery guy have died in that exact moment...no.
