YouTuber shot in mall "traumatized' woman weeks before shooting, she says

- As the investigation continues into the Dulles Town Center shooting that left a prank TH-camr critically injured, a Herndon woman questions if more could have been done to prevent the incident.
Natalie Lomax said she and her sister experienced one of Tanner Cook’s pranks in Loudoun County about three weeks before the shooting. However, Lomax says she prefers to describe them more as harassment.
Despite his injuries, Cook told WUSA9 he plans to continue making videos because it is his passion.
“It’s incredibly upsetting,” said Lomax. “It makes me angry and makes me worried for my community.”
On March 9, Lomax and her sister were shopping at a Target in Sterling when a man dressed up in a security shirt warned them about a stalker.
“We were approached by a man who was wearing a security shirt and told us there was a known stalker in the Target who he noticed had been following us,” recalled Lomax. “This man said he looked gothic and was wearing dark eyeliner and lipstick. We look over and we see the gothic gentleman standing there and staring at us.”
Lomax said the man in the security shirt walked them out to the check-out line even though the man dressed up in dark clothing kept following them until they left the store. Lomax reported the incident to Target the next day and contacted the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office.
She claims it was Cook who was pretending to be security. Her experience was never posted on the channel. Other videos show Cook wearing a security shirt while inside a Target playing pranks.
While Lomax does not believe a shooting was justified, she believes his pranks are provoking and taunting.
“What’s the intention behind what he’s doing?” asked Lomax. “The intention in my opinion is he’s trying to instill fear. It worked. We were left very fearful and traumatized by his actions.”
An LCSO spokesperson said the department had prior contacts with Cook in the community before the shooting. It is unclear exactly how many complaints have been filed against him.
Cook is behind the TH-cam channel Classified Goons, currently with more than 41,000 subscribers. His father Jeramy Cook says it is his way of making a profit.
Videos on the channel show him pretending to be a security guard, attempting to steal beds, swiping groceries, and pretending to vomit on an Uber driver. In some cases, some of the subjects have a strong and visceral reaction to the ongoing prank.
Cook was shot in the stomach while attempting a prank on 31-year-old Alan Colie, according to a Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office detective. Colie’s defense said he was harassed, accosted, and followed despite telling Cook to leave him alone.
The Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office says it is looking into potential charges depending on how the investigation unfolds.
Lomax claims no one ever followed up with her about the initial incident report. It is unclear how long Cook has been in Virginia. His father says he came from Nevada.
“This incident was three weeks prior,” added Lomax. “Had he been approached and held accountable, maybe his lesson would have been learned.”
LCSO said it responded to the incident. No enforcement action was taken because there was no report of criminal activity.
Although there were notes that did not indicate any pending follow-up, there is now a recommendation to respond to Lomax about her individual concerns.
Cook is recovering and has been removed from the ICU. A recent Instagram story from his account said he is doing better.

Yall r fake news
Satanist sign with his hand 0:32 ... from my personal experience these people have no moral compass - as this could be expected.
Can we stop calling these 'pranks' and start calling them what they really are? Harassment and assault.
True
You’re soft asf just like this generation
remember when pranks used to be funny?
pranks, truly good pranks, are done with taste and class among good friends. Targeting strangers and utilizing your size to intimidate is harrassment at the very least.

He's not a prankster, he is an antagonist.
FACTS
Instigator*
@@vaper8824 an antagonist antagonizes which is a person who antagonizes people, or provokes hostility. Pretty sure being shot came from provoking hostility. Either way, he is a POS
Antagonist is not wrong, vaper
Antagoniser not antagonist
I feel bad for the guy who shot him.
Same here. I hope he's ok
All charges were dropped
@@hunterc5331wait really? I heard he’s serving 10 years
@@moesab1281nope.
he is innocent.
just came in
He still has one charge left: shooting into an occupied dwelling, the hearing is next month, I hope he’s acquitted or gets a lesser sentence
The prankster should be arrested.
Keep the community safe from harassment.
Never "Prank" a complete stranger; you never know how they might react.
I love a good harmless prank, but some of the nonsense these people justify is just brutal. Not that he’s a good example overall, but the guy running down the street on a gas powered treadmill, that’s funny and hurts no one, he’s the joke and they’re the audience basically.
Maybe funny pranks instead of intimidating ones... atleast he wont get shot right away.
This aged beautifully 😂
@@nathjones2011 explain
As dumb as Tanner is, he will not read this and would not heed it if he did.
Cook is impersonating a Target security officer. Charge him with fraud, impersonation, and uttering threats ( the stalker ).
In some states it's a felony to impersonate a security officer
It is kidnapping too technically since he escorted her out of the store against her own volition
@@thomasatpurdue6666 well she didn't say no I'm not leaving she willingly left the TH-camr didn't grab her arm and drag her out
@@loganclark4505 doesn’t matter in the least.
Yes he was impersonating a Target security person and target should sue him and this girl should sue him too and he should be charged for misrepresenting himself as a security agent of Target
These aren't pranks, they're assaults! They're crimes!
Karen
Tanner Cook sees himself as the main character of everyones' lives, rather than the villain of his own. He is mentally incapable of understanding why this happened to him, or why his actions cause harm to others. All it will take is one more unstable person, who is armed, and Tanner Cook's career as a stalking, harassing "prankster" will come to a very sudden halt.
He must be produce of a pranks himself because both of his parents act like what their son doing is okay.
Well said and on point!!!
The guy that shot him was anything but unstable.
Guy is a creep. What happened to him was bound to occur.
This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen
Don’t wish bad against people
@@syncgumby244 he's not technically wishing bad against him. He's simply stating facts, it was bound to occur...also calling him a creep isn't wishing bad. People need to stop with these bs pranks putting their personal safety in jeopardy, then crying foul when people get mad. Deserve to get shot? No. Deserve to get black eye? Fk yea he does
@@syncgumby244 He's not. Touch fire and you'll get burned. Touch fire, and you're a moron who can't figure out you shouldn't be touching fire!!
@@syncgumby244 stop defending scum bags
Lol pretending to rob people is not a joke. I know he labels it as such to justify his actions but eventually he was going to run into someone who was prepared to defend himself.
he didn't pretend to rob ppl?🤣🤣 u jus makin shii up, stfu
He will be very sorry if he runs into an off duty officer to play his jokes.
He wasnt pretending to rob anyone you weirdo lol
It was paper towels
@@chs665 seems like he was really sorry running into a person with a real job already. Look out we got a badass over here 😂
I was pranked years ago at a mall while I was with my very elderly aunt. I’m sorry he was shot, but you scare people who are already stressed, this kind of thing is going to happen. Pranks that make fun of yourself are one thing. Stressing and scaring others is nasty.
I agree
I'm not sad he was shot... I'm not sorry he was shot. I'm very sorry that you and your elderly aunt were subjected to a quote-unquote prank
Got what was coming to him. Instead of pranking maybe he should be doing something consteuctive for the community like volenteering or something. But i guess that doesnt get you views so this is just a symptom of a degenerate "entertainment" consuming "society".

There needs to be laws in place about these "pranks" or "social experiments" on people for internet clout.

@@gabriellesudal9004 You're more like Kim Jong Un, trying to restrict us from shooting scumbags like this.
There is one. It’s the 1st amendment of the constitution.
100%FACTS!👍👍👍
“Pranksters” always use the “it’s legal to film in public” excuse but you can’t film in most stores. Walmart has a policy against it but so many videos are done in Walmart. They need to enforce the company policies.
So sad Tanner Cook survived. Practice head shots, Allen!
Harassing people isn't a prank.
Softie
Cook got what he deserved and was trying to get. He even stated he was GOING THERE TO PISS PEOPLE OFF AND GET THE REACTIONS. He TARGETED the wrong man and received the response. Stalking and harassment along with assault should be charges on Tanner Cook.
Yup. He made himself the living incarnation of the phrase "f--k around; find out."
He targeted the wrong guy and got the right response
Assault? 😂 I’ll show you what adult really is. That ip looking real delicious. Delete this comment. I’m warning u
I think he is suicidal 😂😂
Damn straight 100%FACTS!👍👍👍👍👍💥
Target should sue him for impersonating security and frightening their customers. A large financial judgement against him might curb this stupid behaviour. I am thankful this woman came forward and related her sinister experience.
You think Target gives a crap about the greater good? All they care about is their bottom line. Such a lawsuit would be more expensive than its worth to Target so they will never bother.
@@jesses5463 I believe there are benefits beyond monetary judgements although I disagree this would cost them significantly. This little twink and those like him need to face both legal and economic penalties for what they are doing. My sympathies lie entirely with the shooter.
@@jesses5463 driving away customers, and letting customers know they’re not aafe in target definitely affects the bottom line
It also adds risks to the job, since now we know target won’t do anything about someone impersonating one of their security officers.
They should have pressed charges against him.
@@brianbarber5401 sure, ban and get police involved but not worth it to sue.
Ya sue em. That'll do it.
I hope the guy doesn’t go to jail! I can’t stand those pranks…. This is what happens when you mess around and find out!
Yeah ig nobody has self control no more and just going straight to shooting sum a pussy would do
Really so you can just shoot people now for pissing you off?
jhi tweakin
Unfortunately, the only person who found out in this situation is the shooter, who will get life in prison
@@RyzenThreadripper That's not even possible according to the statutes. If I was him I'd go with shooting somebody in the gut is a prank.
This is perfect. I hope there are new laws passed to prevent bullies or anyone online from exploiting innocent people.
I doubt it. This is public place and any attempt to stop that sort of behavior may be seen as a violation of freedom of speech. The prospect of being shot may be enough to deter this behavior.
@@BILL_BO_jangles is it freedom of speech to exploit others for entertainment without their written permission. It's not. This is how Jackass was able to get away with it most of the time, because they have "the public" sign release forms. TH-camrs like this one, I bet don't do that.
hahahaahah you are wrong wrong wrong
@@ferjim2804 ok
U sound like a school shooter waiting for a bill to finally let your manifestations come to reality
Wasn't he impersonating a security officer, too? Isn't that a crime?
No security is not law enforcement.
Yes but not a crazy one
If he was trying to pass himself off as a cop, then he's in big trouble. But this appears to be just a private security guard so only if Target takes action, and that might be just a civil action. It would be a good idea for Target to get an attorney to send him a warning letter about doing his pranks in their stores.
It is illegal to impersonate anyone if your intention is to trick or deceive someone at the expense of another for personal gain.
he is not a prankster he is a criminal
after he is out of hospital, he should go directly to jail.
Do not pass go ,do not collect 200 dollars
He is absolutely harassing people, making them think he's security so they trust him and go along. How anyone thinks that's acceptable has to have some damage in their brain. He's just a step below impersonating an officer. He has that kind of mentality on top of being so stupid that being shot wasn't even able to make his lightbulb click.
@@ihatestans99 Harassment and impersonating security of a business is absolutely illegal. The guy who shot him is definitely a lunatic. But the wannabe prankster was gonna get shot or beaten somewhere down the line inevitably because he's such a nuisance and thinks it's funny to harass random people for a hobby.
@@ihatestans99 The jury doesn't agree. Who's the nimrod?
Looks like we have another no-chinned fatty here>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>@@ihatestans99
This has got to be illegal . He’s impersonating a security officer in a mall . He’s going up to women stating to them they have been stalked and hiring apprentices and actors to stalk them . This has GOT to be ILLEGAL
ihatestans, you need to chill out boomer, it was just 🔫 prank. Did you see how small it was? I'd be embarrassed to be knocked down from something that small 😄
There is a huge difference between pranking someone and harassing someone to the point that they could fear for their safety! hope this prankster learned his lesson
And yet you call him a prankster after saying he is not.
He didn’t from his responses. The man should sue him and his family
The sad thing is he is not a prankster in any way at all and both the kids parents are jumping to his side and trying to play him off as a sweet angle who would never hurt anyone and they it’s everyone else’s out there that are after their baby boy. He has not learned nor will he ever learn his lesson until he is either 1.) thrown in prison 2.) is fatally injured or 3.) his parents are slapped with so many lawsuits from his actions that he bankrupts his entire family
someone pointing at a ceiling and saying "hey look it says gullible on the ceiling" is now harassment ????? jee wiz jee whilickers batman huh i guess i musta missed that at law school
He's not a prankster, he's an annoying idiot. Pranks can be funny if the 'victims' can laugh about it, not when they feel threatened. If Cook doesn't change his style of 'pranks' and just continues his annoying, unfunny and intimidating stuff, he may wind up dead if he messes with the wrong person(s).
If the shooter starts a gofundme I got a few bucks. Top tier legal defence for the criminal and to sue the youtuber's ass in civil right after.
You can’t shoot someone for annoying you. A man like that should not have been carrying a gun in the first place.
@@Rowels_Darling clearly it’s YOU that doesn’t understand, child. Also, any irresponsible gun owner shouldn’t be owning one, that’s common sense. Lmfao, what a clown you are.
@@AS_ONYX His "pranks" are instilling mortal fear. Far from simple annoyance. He played with fire and wants to blame the flame for his burns.
Ah yes it’s okay to shoot a kid goofing around on google translate while you have multiple felonies. The guy who shot him was already a criminal lmao I doubt he’s getting out of jail 🤷♀️
@@Sad.pookie it’s not ok. But I have no compassion for that jerk. I certainly don’t believe it’s just goofing googling. Have you even seen his videos? Harassing, traumatising being obnoxious to the max, pretend stealing etc.
Gunman: “its a prank, bro…”
😂😂 “you smell like blood bro”
Lol
Nice.
All these prankster’s should be arrested and charged for harassment. What they are doing is not funny at all.

Shut up karen

shooting aint justified
@@FOREVERRAFIEL there are no goodsides here he kept harresing random people and calls it a prank and the guy who shot him was just annoyed but shouldent had shoot
If he didnt be a dumbass(my opinion) and kept doing stuff like this it wouldent have happend
You really think how going to get away with shooting a guy in some mall because he pulled a prank
Jury found shooter not guilty...this is a win for the country i say.
A prank is replacing someone's morning coffee with Orange juice
Tanner needs to be in jail.
They may actually place charges against him
for pranking someone? yea there’s a law abt that🙄
By that logic then every prankster on yt should get incarcerated as well
@@TSMRageEagle he incited the violence that happened when he refused to leave the guy alone. It's harassment at that point, not a prank.
@@otto1400 yes because all situations are the same by your logic.
A prank that causes physical or mental distress is not a prank. Next time someone else will finish the job
Why charge the shooter, it's only a prank after all?
This is really sad. Tanner survived.
You’re a softie just like this generation
It's not a prank if you bother people who tell them to leave you alone. The shooter just did what others wanted to do. I bet the TH-camrs parents have been making excuses for him all his life when he gets into trouble.
You’re literally making excuses for the guy shooting the prankster lmao. Do u realize that?
you sound stupid af your making an excuse for someone who just shot somebody because someone was trying to be funny. You can’t just shoot someone for talking to u
@Boxing is dead, Ryan vs tank won’t even sell 400k! Yeah so?
Why do you think it's okay to harass people? And why do you think that doesn't come with consequences?
Who are you to think everyone should respond the same to harassment?
@Boxing is dead, Ryan vs tank won’t even sell 400k! yeah. What else was he supposed to do when someone keeps harassing him even though he said leave me alone countless times? Don't eff around and cry when you find out LOL
So you are justifying this shooting act? Right..?
Stupidity has it's price! Maybe he should start shopping at another mall where the cost of stupidity is lower - like a slap in the face or a knee in the groin. His father said "He's just trying to be a goofball" but you still don't do that to strangers. Be a goofball with your friends and family, leave strangers alone. He's lucky, this life lesson was one he could pay. Next time it may cost too much.
Remember the King used to behead the Joker if he didn't like the joke.
Waaaaaahhhh
I’m sad the kid lived
I saw an interview with the father that I don’t see any enabling. The kid is not underage and cannot be controlled. His father did say he and tanner’s grandmother have warned him of the dangers about doing this and I got the vibe that his father didn’t find his “pranks” very funny. He said tanner does stuff that TANNER thinks will be funny. He never said he agreed that his son was being funny at all.
And the slaves used to be salves and women shut up and modern society didn’t exist. Pick one no being a lib and also killing annoying people because kings did it
His father is living in la la land where you can say anything and you will always get a non violent response. I don’t feel bad for people who poke a bees nest. Also he’s like 23 so he’s not even a kid . Wouldn’t recommend people who value their life to intentionally annoy strangers who might be unhinged . I feel 0 sympathy for the kid and the father should’ve taught him better instead of whining
Public media pranks like this should be considered harassment
This is one case in which I think obscene medical debt is justified. If he did have health or life insurance, I hope the insurance providers can successfully drop him
The TH-cam deserves what he got, obviously he has antisocial tendencies. And to mess with strangers who he doesn't know is rage driven, even if it doesn't seem like it. He's trying to embarrass, anger, humiliate people who he doesn't know to get his rocks off. His dad should sit him down and teach him how to act
The dad encourages him, there's an interview of him.
Apples don't fall far from apple trees.
Bold statement to say he deserved what he got. Trying to make someone with a gun and a short fuse out to be the victim is crazy.
@@AS_ONYX the dude who shot him wasn't bothering anyone until this guy started doing what he does. I think that this guy seen him and thought that he was going to be an easy target. I don't like saying that he deserves to be shot but in this case I think it qualifies
@@Rowels_Darling I mostly agree however I know in the ole lovely state of Virginny this isn't legally self defense as we're only permitted to use "equal force" 🤦🏼♀️🙄
@@AS_ONYX FAFO, poke the bear enough (harass random people in public with "pranks") & you'll get bit
I was a victim of one if these scumbag TH-camrs. Like the young lady says, its harassment so traumatizing, in fact, that I'm surprised there haven't been more shootings. The guy who runs the Cart Narc Channel is the most evil of the bunch I've seen and I honestly cant believe someone hasn't done serious damage to him by now. He is relentless with his parking lot attacks on innocent and unsuspecting people.
One lesson out of this is that the police should take the shooter out for target practice so he is ready for the next time this happens- no sympathy for the "prankster" at all.
Thank you jury for giving a future hero a chance.
She’s absolutely right. The fear he probably put on those two women was not funny or a joke. We live in a scary world as it is. His antics are immature and not funny.
ty for actually reporting the situation. everyone else has fully victimized the prankster
Yep, completely incoherent what most new organizations are saying.
@Ameria3289 If there is an intimidating figure stalking and following and you tell them to stop and they continue to do so it is self defense.
@@Ameria3289 There are people taking his side the NY Post flat lied about the story. The shooting was justified. Your opinion of what the criminal that's randomly assaulting people did or didnt deserve means nothing.
How is it legal for someone to impersonate a security guard in stores and malls. Is Target allowing him to do this?

Dude's sick. All the best wishes for the people he terrorizes
I don't know why we dignify his BS by calling them "jokes," and "pranks." I have PTSD, and tend towards fight rather than flight, freeze, or fawn. He's a bully, and his actions are frequently abusive, and intended to terrorize. I hope he finally wins all the stupid prizes that go with the stupid games he's playing. I just feel sorry for whoever goes to jail for putting this animal down.
Sad thing about this incident is that jerk survived and intended to molesting more people and he is even saying that on tv and people are cheering for him to
get well soon so you can harras and molest more victim
If he was justified in shooting the guy then I don’t see how the shooting into an occupied dwelling charge makes sense. He shot into the guys stomach and didn’t endanger anyone else. Dude is a hero.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the victim of the prank. 😢🙏
Im having a hard time finding a victim can you point them out please?
Only victim is the man who was shot for annoying someone. Guns are for self defense not to kill anyone that makes you upset. Mature people would remove themselves from the situation not pull a gun on an unarmed non threatening individual that's messing with them.
@Doblin Gamez guy was walking away. Kid fucked around and found out. Hard to feel bad. So go cry about it more.
Nah. Make them an example.
@@doblingamez1731 fr as a gun owner you need restraint. the impulsive decision to ruin his own and potentially someone else’s life isn’t the move. people need to control their emotions and take a damn breathe lmao
This guy really needs to reevaluate his life, and he’s lucky that it didn’t end.
Nah hes just gonna use this for more clout and ego "i got shot right here bro, yea really almost died..im such a badass."
Ammo selection is critical to self-defense situations.
Shot placement is much more critical, but since most people can't shoot straight to save their lives, they jerk themselves off buying expensive ammo.
Set Mr. Alan free. He was minding his own business. Cook should be arrested for harassment. These stupid pranks should be abolished. 😠
I'm surprised the shooter, Colie wasn't given a pass on self-defense. He didn't shoot to kill (I'm assuming), and he told Cook to leave him alone multiple times. That has to count fot something. These prank TH-camrs needs a reality check.
he played a google translate prank on him and the manlet shot him for it lmao you sound stupid
Um, he didn't shoot in the leg or arm, so it could have killed the one being shot.
You can't shoot someone because they are following you around for a short time. He could have left the store, got in his car and drove off. He could have asked for security people, talked to store associates or the manager, or called the police.
@@kyleaaron1971 If someone gets in your face and antagonizes you, it is not unreasonable to assuming that such a person might be a threat. Pranksters shouldn't be allowed to use minor celebrity status as a way to get out of being held accountable for the trouble they choose to cause.
Blue part of the map. Self-defense is highly illegal in those parts.
Glad the shooter was found not guilty, and hopefully is not scarred by this senseless prank. He should get a "Community Services Award".
Tanner needs some time behind some bars. Alan needs some help to cope with stress.
And TH-cam watchers need another form of entertainment
@@jafetmorales9941 and u need to chill
Soft
Alan needs a gold medal. He did the Lord's work, I say.
Indeed. While I can't agree that shooting the guy was the best option (unless he felt his life was actually in danger, and I don't think any of us know what really happened in the seconds leading up to the shooting), I also do not believe that just because messing with strangers may be legal, that it's a good idea to do so, as was proven in this case. Good lord, if people want to be left alone, you leave them alone. Otherwise, whether what you're doing is legal or not, you are taking a huge risk. This guy took that risk, paid the price, and now the other guy, who never asked for this, is also going to pay a price. Thus, my sympathies lie more with the shooter, unless I have more information showing that the shooting was premeditated or something. But as of this moment, I don't think anybody in this video's comment section should be on the jury of the (probable) upcoming trial. We're all too biased in our views, including myself.
He’s an overgrown 12 year old.
12 ? that's a stretch... I'd say 4-5 year old... youtube should ban that type of channels imo, they're often harassing people as I see it.
Put the "prankster" in jail, give the shooter community service.
First of, I'm so sorry that the lady is traumatised by the event.
Secondly, that's actually good news. I hope he learns something from it. If he doesn't, I hope the hospital bill is hefty enough.
TH-cam, it’s your fault!! You pay these pranksters for their views!!
@@Rowels_Darling well, that’s not necessarily true because the examples you listed aren’t getting paid by the companies.
If your gonna play pranks on strangers remember to bring a pillow with you so they know where to lay you out. Maybe bring a blanket if you wanna be comfortable.
Or a casket,,, just in case.
please seek help
Yep, the Goon already admitted he's going to keep doing these pranks.
And when the bully acts like the victim
The prosecutor in the case against the victim in the prankster case (the person being pranked) said “he was holding a cellphone, not a weapon”.
Funny how that argument never comes out when the government is defending a cop who shot someone armed with only a phone.
After hearing the description of the prankster/AHs actions, the argument that it was an unreasonable response to the situation is even harder to believe.
The only tragedy in this situation is that Cook can continue to make his assault videos.
The guy is a menace to society.
When will these TH-camrs learn. Pranks are only okay if they’re done on national television😂
Laying in hospital throwing up gang signs. Food delivery driver should have double tapped him.
Security guards have to be bonded and licensed so that TH-camr perpetrating himself as a security guard could get him in real trouble
Read your laws again. Only pretending to be a “law enforcement” is illegal
@@billyrussell8684 driving people away from your store, interfering with you doing business, is certainly something target should have charges him with.
Real trouble. Like the electric chair
One can’t know what someone is going through in like, and ur bullying him being young, this is what you get for it.
Target should sue him. All his victims should bring a multimillion lawsuit against him and yes if I was a member of the jury I would award them 1 million dollars each. You can't go around scaring people and traumatizing them for the rest of their life just to make a few bucks.
He needs arrested for posing as security. His parents need to face charges as they created this bully.
They aren’t “pranks” anymore than me following someone around myself casually touching the knife at my waist is a “prank”. At best, most of what this guy does would be considered menacing. Should he have been shot?…probably not. Should he have gotten punched square in the nose and a few gut kicks on the ground? Probably, yes. 🤷🏼♂️. He didn’t die. I call this even steven for all the crap he previously did.
Even would have been a headshot in my view.
Thanks Allen u did all of us a favor
They need to all file lawsuits against him.
The only problem is Tanner didn't take the dirty mall floor temperature challenge.
Damn. Bold of him to say he'll be making videos again. Hope he pays for real security after he gets out.
I hope he doesn't
Real security? I'm sorry, but I think that he needs to pay for something more like a funeral home. I mean, who knows what will happen.
So that way he can start harassing more people and have dudes to back him up if they get mad? Thats really smart, maybe he should just not be retarded
Both Bold and Stupid lol
Whoever said: "You can't fix stupid" wasn't exactly right. Death fixes stupid everytime. This time stupid wasn't fixed...but there's always next time or the time after that.
He didn’t learn the lesson.
You can't fix STUPID...no matter how many lessons you give.
Damn it wasn't a fatality... I'm disappointed. Yeah pranksters doesn't get the right to do wtf they want.
I can understand that by some people just like to do pranks, but the reason I would be against doing them to strangers is in fact that it may result in the target wanting you dead.
I do too. They’re AHs.
A wise man once said “You should have gone for the head!”
He lived in a fantasy world until reality gave him a loud wake up call.
Except it didn't. He's going to be continuing his haressment of strangers.
Harrassment*
@@bcampana1961 What? 😆
0:01 - Look at those dead, empty, narcissistic eyes. He is a criminal and a bully - NOT a prankster. He needs to be sued in court for harassing innocent people.
He's not a Pranker - he's a man who needs some mental help and a Bully. I'm sure if the tables were turned and he was pranked by people, he would not like it himself....
Doordash driver should not go to jail he was just doing his day of work while some bully messed his day up or maybe even his life already for the next person that gets bullied by this person just remember a dead witness can't testify against you
What? Doordash driver?
@@Alltimefox Yeah, the shooter was working as a delivery driver when the prank happened.
yes he should tf. he had to leave to deliver his order but stuck around to shoot when his life n property wasn't in danger? he is not mentally stable enough to have a gun. those poor children who witnessed will nvr forget that n have ptsd. he impacted many lives, not jus the kid he shot. nobody was holding him there, all he had to do was walk away n leave which is what he had to do anyway. he made his decision n should face the consequences. don't ever own a gun w that poor mentality!
@@gabriellesudal9004 he tried to leave, they followed him.
Now how are you going to defend the AH?
and as usual the cops did nothing when she reported him
He is a bully, he found the formula to harassing people by justifying it as joke only.
This behavior goes WAAAAAAY Back with Candid Camera. The persons or people being harassed need to be financially compensated.
Where is the gofundme for the shooter? Got a 20 spot for him.
Send that my way
If you do these "pranks" you will get karma. Karma came back to him. The fact he will still do the cruel prank videos, shows he still haven't learnt his lesson.
Fear not the man who you are scared of pranking but fear the mundane man who has had one too many days in his life.
Pranking ppl ..manipulating their emotions and feelings for self gratification and internet clout/views is evil/wicked and sick. It is def harassment. The multitude of horrible ppl desperate for attention, planking ppl on TikTok made me abandon my account. They should have to pay a hefty fine for every prank
It’s just a prank you softie
@Mr.California
Do it to your friends.. I’m not your friend. Trying to humiliate me in public will be met with violence. Harassing my wife or kids will be met with violence.
If you don’t want to deal with that, reconsider your approach to strangers.
I feel bad for the guy who shot this menace to society.
Guy accused the shooter of being a sx offender and placed him under citizens arrest and attempted to kidnap him, for a prank video. The response was justified! Should’ve aimed a little higher though
As other commenters have said, these aren’t “pranks”. It’s simple harassment.
Justice for Alan. And this lady too (i didn't catch her name or anything, don't wanna rewind)
