YouTuber Tanner Cook reacts to not guilty verdict for man who shot him

- "It is what it is," that is how Prank TH-camr Tanner Cook reacted after a jury found the man who shot him inside Dulles Town Center in April not guilty.
A jury found Alan Colie not guilty of aggravated malicious wounding or use of a firearm for aggravated malicious wounding, however, he was found guilty of firing a gun inside the mall. That guilty verdict has been set aside until a hearing to discuss it on October 19.
Colie was standing trial for shooting Tanner Cook, the 21-year-old behind the TH-cam channel "Classified Goons."
The case went viral not because there was a shooting inside a mall, but because Cook is known to make prank videos. Cook amassed 55,000 subscribers with an average income of up to $3,000 per month. He said he elicits responses to entertain viewers and called his pranks “comedy content.”
WUSA9 caught up with the Cook family following the verdict. When we asked Tanner Cook how he felt about the outcome, he said it is all up to God.
"I really don't care, I mean it is what it is," he said. "It's God's plan at the end of the day."
His mother, Marla Elam, said the family respects the jury and that the Cook family is just thankful Tanner is alive.
"Nothing else matters right now," she said.
Tanner's father, Jeramy Cook, sent a statement to WUSA9 Thursday night saying, "We are all less safe than before."
Jeramy Cook called the verdict a product of mob rule. He said that the media painted Tanner as the aggressor and Colie as the victim.
"Right after this shooting, Saturday Night Live reported on their Weekend Update that a TH-camr doing a prank video at a Virginia mall was shot, then paused, starred into the camera and said good," said Jeramy Cook. "Everyone laughed, so millions of people saw this and just went with it."
He said that he was told by the Loudoun County prosecutor that even though the facts supported his son being the victim, public opinion wasn't with him.
Jeramy Cook added that his family has been targeted and harassed by people saying his son should have been killed.
"So is it open season on TH-camrs even if they don't touch or talk to you," he said. "It's cool to just shoot them no matter what the facts are?"
Jeramy Cook ended the statement by saying the world is living in a time where public opinion can be easily manipulated.

FAFO....F#CK AROUND AND FIND OUT! A$$HOLES ARE FINALLY BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE!!
How is Tanner the victim? He was pranking and harassing the delivery driver. Bad job by the news station, you should be ashamed.
You need to correct your wording and issue a retraction. Tanner Cook was not a victim, he was a psychopathic predator and the victim was the man he harassed and wouldn't leave alone, the jury found that man not guilty and with the acquittal is exoneration, Cook was FACTUALLY NOT A VICTIM.
@@leedelay1856agreed, the verdict handed down by the jury proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Cook was not a victim, that man needs to sue these people for defamation.
Tanner Cook learned that the REAL WORLD (reality) is not one big video where things are just "so funny ha, ha ha 😡." What an Idiot. The way he acted next to his mom while she was being interviewed. Grow up buddy. 😊
That lady is a living proof that some parents are useless 😂
Well she was doing fine and respecting the court and jury... then he had to come in the fold with that dumb look and ruin it. She showed her parenting skills after that.
@@_666_Sorrow So she showed that she's a horrible parent for raising such an irresponsible douche.
How so?
Unhinged.
They're all useless in the US
Destroyed the life of someone working hard to make ends meet. Still totally oblivious to the misery he has caused to someone. Absolute scum.
Yep justice is coming for all of these people who have no time for stupidity and BS . Hopefully This bully has learned his lesson! Hey Tanner try that with somebody else your size ! 🎉
@drjhale9801 clearly, he did not.
He did not make him shoot. He did not even attack him. Self-defense my ass.
A) The guy's life wasn't ruined
B) The guy didn't have to pull the trigger
@@ScottyP_323rs everybody so sensitive like “oh hes bothering me let me kill this guy” this generation is so sensitive 😂😂😂
Rumor has it that 4 seconds after seeing this video the Jury wished they had given the shooter a cash reward
😂
I know I would have, Tanner is super lucky. He survived, his internet clout grew tremendously and he didnt get any legal punishment. It takes a real dumbass to admit to everyone while the case is on-going that hes gonna keep doing it and views this event as a win and not a wake up call. Internet pranksters literally go and just film themselves breaking the law, even if its staged they dont say it is so they are filming a law being broken. Its disgusting that platforms allow those videos to stay up and that they get very little reprecussions and if they get harmed from self defense or something they become a martyr. Colie probably reacted a little bit too hastily but hes still the victim in my eyes (he could have just pointed the gun at the kid and probably would have gotten him to back off).
The only thing Alan Colie is guilty of is having a shitty aim.
this young man is so disrespectful of the news, acted stupid on camera, said he will continue to record horrible videos, and his mom is thankful she still has her son. Honestly, this is unbelievable. Goon is right. He's a bully and needs to stop bullying people.
His mother enables him. Family is toxic to the public. Just another POS family
Ur a psycho if u think it’s ok to shoot someone because they annoyed you … time for the nursing home carol
@Stormshadow420. he said its gods plan so he dont care fr
The US federal gov being shut down theres bigger problems dumb dumba
you have bullied someone in your life. what you are saying is you deserve to be shot?
How is she not ashamed of herself as a mother with that kind of offspring she produced? I’m embarrassed for her. That level of failure is astonishing.
Not to worry classic narc mum, hair tied to perfection, flawless make up, classy outfit. Too busy taking care of herself to raise son. Sickening 🤮
Son brings in the bacon. Love of money.
She is worse than he is? Did u hear that woman???
@@shecat19642k a month? Can make that flipping burgers
Damn, he seems pretty unfazed. What a bummer.
The worst part is that there is no accountability from TH-cam. The prank channel is still up and TH-cam is supporting the "prankster".
Exactly. And pranksters are also above the law: they can cause anything from a heart attack to psychological problems and get away with it.
TH-cam is a mainstream opinion site now, as long as you don't talk against mainstream opinion your channel is safe.
You're damn right and meanwhile deleting political channels...insane
@@HomoMathematicus.Not exactly. Begging for more rules and regulations is backwards. Stop expecting the worms around you to make rules for you.
YT doesn't care about content.
The only thing they care about is keeping the servers running.
prankster is alive?!?
what a disappointment.
ok but genuinely how did he deserve to die from what he did in the shooting video yes it was probably annoying but the other guy could've punched him or maybe just pulled the gun but not shoot him. all of you commenters are sick disgusting people for saying this man deserves death for what he did
What a horrible mother. When he actually winds up deceased, she can thank herself and her husband for not putting a stop to this stupidity. And, make no mistake, this will happen again.
100% agree. Hopefully his next victim has better aim.
You can only lead the horse to water, my friend.
@@jhb1493lol
Hes a grown male
I’m assuming she’s divorced and that’s why he’s like that 😂
When he stood there, took off his glasses and made that face, he showed he doesn’t care. And the fact that his mom laughed and played around with him on camera is just horrible. Trash people.
oh ye, being mentally unstable and owning a gun is so good. shooting someone over a prank, yes, the right thing to do. you support school shooters aswell? you know, these guys that got harnessed for years before they pulled the trigger? liberal clown
I think he expects an increase of subscribers on his channel so he’s going to make more money. They should take away his option to make money off of people.
Nah the mum is just embarrassed by the son because he’s such a loser.
@@qbb01 they both are losers. She wanted the shooter to be prosecuted even though she knows her son started everything. She failed as a mother. She raised a thug that's a Mama's boy
@@qbb01Nope, it's what they said.
Damn, that guy has that "shoot me face"
Her reaction to acting like a dork in front of the camera tells us all we need to know about her mothering abilities.
Probably says a lot more about her abilities as a person in general
This guy is 20 years old, incredible man child she’s raised.
20 ? Dame i thought he was a teen ager
I think 21 actually. But yes, he acts like an 8 year old bully
No father in the picture says it all
@@saltydog4333White, says it all
@@sirKonradical ok racist
What a solid member of society she raised.
Absolutely. As a mother, I'd be so ashamed; he's done these types of tormenting for a few years now. And when he was on camera post-trial being an a$$wipe, the mother lovingly swatted at him for 'being such a dear, isn't he so cute.' Influencers my a$$. Sorry, I yell bc I care!
I'd say the same about the person who tried to kill someone over being annoying.
@@VocaloidEnjoyer1he was doing society a favor.
@@rosendoza Classic mentally ill american response, god I am glad I don't live in the same country with you sociopaths.
@joghurt143 your a fuckin dumbass. You don't know what people's intentions are. How about leave people alone amd don't harass someone for no reason
wow, just listening to his mother speak for 30 seconds explains why this kid is the way he is.
Sadly there is video of the dad talking the same way.
2:00 his act is disgusting!
Thank God that poor man is found not guilty by the jury.
An attitude only a mother would think is cute.
Single mother*
No a mother. A mother who has not raised her son well. I would be ashamed if I were her.
@@whiskey287Well I heard the father talk on this. And as you'd expect his son did no wrong. As far as into being still married I don't know.
@@whiskey287 That does not mean he wasn't raised by both parents. His father defended the idiot he created.
Such a big man. He starts stuff he can't finish and he brings his Mommy to court with him.
The other dude had a gun bro
@@thacoolbean And he should have aimed about a foot higher.
@thacoolbean That's the chance you take when you decide to invade a complete stranger's space for no reason, and then continue the harassment after he asks you to stop.
It's the kind of behavior that might get a man shot. Tanner brought a cell phone to a gun fight.
@@thacoolbean Guess he should've thought of that huh? Although it doesn't seem like he does a whole lot of that anyways.
@@HawkGTboyu gotta be watched my brother
Tanner isn't a victim, he is a perpetrator.
6’5” isn’t so big when you’re horizontal
Tanner Cook is NOT a victim.
america is victim of guns and mental illness
He is just a total knob!.😐
The “Mother Who is the Biggest Failure as a Parent” award goes to Tanner Cook’s mother!
👏🏽
Lol I wish I could see yours.
Not forgetting the father !😂😂😂
Sad depressed lonely worker trying to survive vs spoiled child never told no.
Terrible mother doesn't even realize she raised a terrible child.
He should definitely sue this idiotic prankster next.
This is brilliant, I hope he does. The clown is still making videos, that face he pulled on camera is part of his act, the prosecutor should have charged the "goon"(as he styles himself) instead of the driver.
Should sue You Tube for enabling this punk.
I said the same thing .
I would sooooo donate to that cause!!
r u ppl real
The way the mom laughs when he's silly on camera. Like, your son harasses people and has just recently survived getting shot, and there's still this 'Family Guy'-like attitude of
"oh tanner lol, what are you like haha"... actually mental
She bad as hell too i might have to be his step dad
not silly, disrespectful or disgraceful is a more adequate word for it
Thirsty. She rich though. So get that bag.
In her mind it's still her little boy. She doesn't understand that a grown ass man should not be acting like that
Family Guy is a very apt way to put it lmao
This Kid is pure Punk , Bully and clueless all at once .
The victim is the shooter not the kid , having to gone through this , and his face and character defamed over the trial period . The son needs to be charged . The parents need to be ashamed, and the kid felt it’s some sort of joke .. pathetic , no remorse and no empathy towards others
ok but genuinely how did he deserve to die from what he did in the shooting video yes it was probably annoying but the other guy could've punched him or maybe just pulled the gun but not shoot him. all of you commenters are sick disgusting people for saying this man deserves death for what he did
That mother should be totally embarrassed. She raised a menace to society who is on track to do nothing but relish the misery of others.
That mother is same asshole as her son.
Menace to society because he films stupid videos? Ok boomer
Alright, now arrest the TH-camr and hold him in jail for 5 months until he pays restitution to the actual victim for back wages and attorney fees.
He should be de-monetized for sure. YT is responsible for this as well. If he didn’t have the audience he would stop.
@@mountaingod9907 Jesus, didn't think of this before nor have i seen anyone else mention it, what the hell? This would definitely be the best outcome.
@@mountaingod9907you think this guy's making a penny?
He got shot tho
@@pickinslarry9635frfr, they all mad at the youtuber. Acting like that man who shot him didn’t give any warning of a gun.
The true crime here is that the perimedics brought him to the hospital 🏥 and the doctors kept him alive. The doctors should have determined his irrational, narcissistic, dumb ass condition was terminal and let him pass away leaving the public with some peace. All while the poor shooter went to a jail cell and then had to defend himself in court.
ok but genuinely how did he deserve to die from what he did in the shooting video yes it was probably annoying but the other guy could've punched him or maybe just pulled the gun but not shoot him. all of you commenters are sick disgusting people for saying this man deserves death for what he did
First off he’s not the victim. He was the aggressor. The man was defending himself. Seeing him like this after the fact is ludicrous. Him and the parents need to be held liable.
The fact that he doesn’t even seem remorseful for bothering that innocent man says a lot. Someone tell that mother she needs to teach her son some respect and maybe if he didn’t play stupid games he wouldn’t win stupid prizes.
I think the mom and dad are really brother and sister. They had Tanner and we all can see what inbreeding does to people.
god you people love when overweight neckbearded americans lose their temper and shoot people don't you?
Ok bro if the guy was 14-16 and got shot would be a whole different reaction 😂😂😂. The idiots that shot this dude was not in danger at all.
@@fincenstraightsavage5532 If someone tells you numerous times to stop and you’re still in their face they have the right to protect themself.
thank God that judge found that innocent man not guilty.
Like a lot of TH-cam pranksters, he is a narcissist.
Oh, how I wish I could tell his mother, "Your son is a waste of space, oxygen, and resources. " Simple as that. These "pranksters" need a wake up call, and to be put in their place. Too bad there isn't a place that can "correct" this type of behavior. Hmm...
100% Agree, and they should certainly be on notice now.
Pranksters have to always outdo themselves and each other, and that means what they will do with victims will escalate as well. It's baked in to the situation.
The only thing that could possibly stop that is fear that you might well get shot or seriously injured some other way, if you push your pranks too far. His victim being found innocent and to have acted in self defence should be a real wake up call to these idiots. Based on their behaviour and maturity level, I wouldn't expect it to sink in. It's going to take some deaths.
I wonder how she would react if somebody approached her in public and did to her the same things her son did to him? Would she find it as funny? Would they prosecute her the same way they did this defendant?
Or would all of that be different in her eyes?
Worst mother ever. Dude is a real piece
Dude seems like a punk, going through a trial like this and he's still acting like a loser. If I was him or the mother, I'd be embarrassed.
I can understand if this happened and he literally owned up to the incident and acted mature, but wtf is this?
It’s called Gen Z
Yeah, and it's not like he just got told "pranking is bad, m'kay?" He literally got shot in the stomach and was hospitalized, and even after that he's learned nothing. Next time someone's just gonna murder him.
@@robertjones1440nah it’s not gen z, it’s intolerable fuckwits, those are in every generation
Look at how his mother acts, then the father, should tell you exactly what this is.
A failed family raising a social reject with no ability to take accountability.
The fact that he's actually still mugging for the camera and Mom is laughing about it says everything. Also, look at the size of this kid. Anyone could feel threatened with him coming at them with that phone. Geez.
Someone needs to "PRANK" her!
Is this an advertisement for genetic sterilisation?
Watch the video. If someone walks up to me doing that, I would immediately think this is a set-up to be robbed, mugged, or worse. I have no sympathy for the TH-camr, and TH-cam itself for allowing such obnoxious stuff. To add more obnoxiousness to this, look how Tanner Cook is at 2:00. What a dork.
He obviously learned nothing please someone educate him again 😂
Next time … that day is coming … looks like he didn’t learned and his mother was proud of his son actions
next time maybe the lesson will stick!
Someone with better aim
Send him to Texas. He won’t get up after I’m done with him.
I got a bullet with his name on it if he does not back off of me the first time I ask 😁. I will let all you know if it happens.
I’m so embarrassed for that mother. She really stands there and proudly admits she raised this parody of a human who doesn’t have two brain cells to rub together and spark a fire.
😂😂
This team of mom, dad, and son is too dumb to realize the situation : 1st, their son has an extra body hole for the rest of his life. No fun. 2nd, a legal precedence has been set. 3rd, next time the son acquires more unnatural holes, their unrepentant comments will be used as evidence against them.
Brain cells do not conduct fire
My second hand embarrassment for her😢
Lol two brain cells to rub together to start a fire. Did you come up with that? I'm stealing it
Sue these pricks for everything they got. All who been pranked by this guy. All of them should get together and sue.
The guy is a mama's boy bully, a potential criminal; he is a coward, pranking women and smaller frame people... would he dare to do that to a football player?
His father, Jeramy Cook, claims SNL and "mob rule" is the reason the public didn't like what his son had done. I'd like to inform him that many people looked into the case and saw what your son did - this is the outcome is what the majority of society wanted. It's not "open season" as you called it - your son unprovokingly harassed someone and you've yet to see a problem with how it all could be avoided if your son hadn't bothered someone.
Yet Kyle Rittenhouse has to right for his self defense case for years. Someone following you with a phone does not equal someone threatening your life either. This is a huge miscarriage of justice. Instead of taking out a phone and calling police if he was that annoyed he just takes out a gun and tries to kill someone instead. How are so many people applauding this
@FoxExcess police are taught that an attacker with a blunt force weapon or knife can clear 21 feet in the amount of time it takes to draw a pistol. There was no way for the victim to know if "Tanner" was unhinged, joking or a serial killer. But when you're already in bad breath distance it's too late to come to a conclusion you have to act. Clear cut case for self defense
@@FoxExcessYou seriously have no idea what is going on!
Unfortunately this kid just bought a lamborghini he's showing off on his instagram
@@FoxExcess you're so wrong. Yes, harassing someone like that with such aggression and intimidation is a good reason to get shot. Why are you victim blaming for defending himself against a criminal? Learn the laws before you say it's a miscarriage of justice.. he deserved to be shot. The victim had a right to shoot him based on the video evidence. Learn the laws so you can understand what people are allowed to do to others and what people are not allowed to do in a civilized society. What the guy did to the victim is not allowed in civilized society.. It's not hard to understand. What you feel and what the laws are are 2 very different things. The laws are to be followed by everyone and anyone's feelings don't matter at all.
That mother failed as a parent. She raised a thug who is a Mama's boy. Lock him up before he tries to ruin someone else's life. That woman knows her son has stained their family's reputation in the community. He tried to act stupid on camera and then gets mad when the news crew starts to ask him questions as he's walking. Talking about "God's plan." That's the most generalized statement to avoid being embarrassed
To the parents: Yes your "child" IS the aggressor. You're just mad that he finally got paid back for some of the misery he's caused. The fact that he makes 24-36k per year from youtube for his behavior says that he's been doing this for a while.
YOU should be ashamed of yourselves for not stopping this sooner. For that reason YOU are guilty and should be held accountable. You have raised your child to be an a-hole. Somehow I doubt you'll get the message, but maybe you should sit down with him and have a talk about trying to see things from the other person's view. He pranks people and knows that his pranks are causing people fear. He admitted as much in court. People like this think their being funny or cute until something like this happens and then when THEY get hurt or in trouble with police all of a sudden they want to play the victim card.
Sometimes in life, people who does stupid things or inappropriate thing and something bad happen to them doesn’t learn their lesson and still goes back where they started. Not even the parents who did bad job raising them learn their lesson too.
Its sad but true.
He will get shot again if he didn’t learn his lesson.
In the face next time, please.
God have him last chance, if he didn’t learn he will …
Here's hoping.
Alan Colie may now sue Tanner Cook into poverty, and it looks like that is what he is going to do.
Let's hope so maybe this nonsense ends.
How? Alan is lucky he got off with even one charge 😂

All it takes is to see the mom's reaction to know the source of the problem. These parents have never held him to any standards of behavior. Harrassing people to this point is perfectly fine to them. Your effect on others is irrelevant under their bankrupted sense of morality.
The phrase we are looking for is FAFO. When two people assault a person, that is lethal force. Anyone is justified to use lethal force to repel a lethal force attack. Whether you mean it or not doesn't matter. Assault happens as soon as the victim has a reasonable fear of death or great bodily harm. Your juvenile jokes caused that fear. You're lucky to be alive, but you're just going to keep on being a jerk to people "for the likes."

That doesn't give you the right to shoot someone. Call the police if someone playing something on their phone is bothering you that much. The fact that people are cheering this on is disgusting.

Cook got what he deserved. The felony gun count is only there to take away Collie's 2A rights. Since he was acquitted on the use of force he should NOT lose his gun rights.
@FoxExcess the fact you don't understand why people are cheering the shooting is disgusting.

It is standard procedure to jail someone who shoots another person regardless of the situation. It makes sense on many levels. If you shoot a person you WILL do jail time in the US. And Jail is different from prison.

You know what that boy is lucky to be alive and if he's too stupid to realize it then he can find out what happens next time he might not be so lucky.
The mother does understand the gravity of the situation. Yet she still thinks her teenage son is a toddler so the goofy acts are not disrespectful but cute in her eyes.
I'm so happy that this prankster FOUND OUT!
This was bound to happen - and will VERY likely happen again.
Take heed, pranksters!
Found someone who has a fear of cameras.
@@AS_ONYX
A consequence of harassing randos in the street with "air is free, air is free" aught rightfully to be a case of lead poisoning.
Not fear of cameras - but the lack of respect from dweebs like you.
There is but ONE group of people who likes your kind - and that's coroners.
@@AS_ONYXsoy boy
@@AS_ONYXfound the douche that condones the f*ckery
@@AS_ONYX lol what???
When parents fail at parenting!
The parents still don't realize how lucky their son was to be alive. They may not be lucky the next time around.
It's really unfortunate that he survived
You people are sick
Take solace in the fact that surviving a bullet wound just the beginning. It is very likely he's facing a long recovery and life long problems. And with his IQ and family dynamics he's not going to take his recovery seriously. He could still get an infection :). And if not maybe he'll suffer for the rest of his life? One can hope.
The only tragic thing about this is that he got arrested in the first place and he was still found guilty on one account.
Tanner clearly learned nothing.
“Public opinion can be swayed?” We saw exactly what happened!
The way I saw both Cook and his mother reacts to this it seems to me that it's just the way how they are. It seems they learned nothing from this especially the son.
Oh and check out the statement the father sent to WUSA9. The dad is an absolute crybaby.
Come to Fairfax and do this. 6'5 guy and his friend invade my space and I warn them 3 times my 2nd amendment rights will be utilized. Thank you jury! You can't mess with innocent people just to make money on TH-cam because you can't find or too lazy to work a real job in society. Way too many of these "prankster" idiots.
hes not far from ffax all he gotta do is come FAFO
@plx01 OK sounds good. I would rather hit him in his jaw rather than shoot him.
Actually a body shot would do him in. Hopefully he has learned his lesson though.
make sure to get some therapy for those dumb ass threats you are making online to make yourself feel better for the sad life you live
If Tanner Cook had been black, Colie would be going to prison for 30 years. Tell me I'm wrong.
Tanner Cook wasn’t the victim.
If He wasn't such a piece of crap, the shooting "victim" would've insisted all charges be dropped.
He makes it so hard not to wish the worst for him
Umm, it sure seems like he DID NOT learn his lesson. Needs more teaching.
Another taste of lead ?😂
Another bullet
Correction, the 'victim' was not in any way Tanner Cook! Alan Colie was and is the victim.
FAAFO. Maybe he'll reconsider harassing innocent people, but it doesn't sound like he has. What a jerk
This boy knows good and damn well that he’s too intimidating to be pranking people. People are going to feel threatened and they’re gonna retaliate, and that’s what happened.
i would of done the same thing..or maybe kneed him to get his attention..and his little friends who were making the video as well..the boy is a phychsopath
You think he’s intimidating ?😂😂😂 my 15 year old wouldn’t be intimidated by him
He is just fat, not really intimidating lmao
@@L118aKev I say intimidating because he’s tall and I’m barely 5ft tall.
He also has the intelligence of a sack of hammers. Sorry, someone may be big but if they’re incredibly stupid, they’re not intimidating.
Great kid you raised there lady. Fantastic parenting.
You can see he inherited her dough, slack mouth - and then you listen to her talk, and realize he also inherited a whole lot of immaturity and stupidity as well.
Imagine taking this to court. Still trying to act an idiot for the cameras but got humbled bad and he’s clearly embarrassed
Jury made a right call. Don't mess with other people. Kid should get a job instead of harassing other people.
Unbelievable he was still found guilty of discharging the firearm in the mall. Self defense is self defense no matter where it happened.
self defense can't put other in danger is a dangerous things to do considering the low danger he was facing that's why if the youtuber was using a gun or a knife the charge will be dismiss.
Self Defense ? Shot Someone because he holds a phone in your face?
@@nachnamevorname_the_original read the article in its entirety you silly person. It went way beyond 'holding a cell phone in your face'.🙄
@@Ghoxtfireshut your dumb ass up that’s a horrible fkn explanation
@@nachnamevorname_the_originalBecause he kept approaching him and didn’t stop. You take into account his size and that he’s a stranger. You’re sheltered.
I wish the next person that is harassed by this lunatic aims the head instead of stomach. Now we know why he behave like this, his parents too are the problem. The gull they even attended the court hoping the guy who defended himself could be charged says it all, without even considering fact that it's their degenerate son who harassed that man. The parents are lunatics too.
I hope Alan Sue’s him for forcing him to have to use his gun to stop him!
I for one think we should send Tanner Cook to Mars… he can start a colony of one there.
Why ruin another planet?
@@heepafresh1646 … dont think the planet will care. At least we can be one step closer to a better Earth.
Man should sue the prankster for millions, then let's see what mommy says. #mommyfailure.
I'm very saddened by the fact he managed to pull through.
Same lmao
I too was disappointed
That's taking it way too far. He's a moron, yes, but actually saying you wish he was six feet under without saying it is going way too far.
That's taking it way too far. He's a moron, by saying that is uncalled for.
I’m sad that he’s still a clown after something like that, might wanna rethink it a bit and be humble
The community he harasses is not grateful your son is still available to terrorize people.
A lot of character development going on in his brain, sooooo much😂😂😂
