Everyone has there own threshold for when they feel they are in danger. I thought it was fast, too, but it could have been an adrenaline-rushing, ptsd-flashback-filled eternity for this guy… at the end of the day he wouldn’t have had to do anything if they didn’t get in his face and keep pushing when he said “stop”, so I’d have to say it was justified.

    Ain't that how fast officers react, even when they don't have all the facts. The man felt threatened and the prankster should have not been trying to prank him. We don't know what everyone goes through on a daily basis. We don't know that man state of mind, neither did the prankster, but he found out.

      I do agree with this. I was just thinking that too when he said, "why didn't he just call for help?" Like cops don't even do that, they engage the perceived threat & then further assess after. Like these are split second decisions that are happening.

    Im happy the man stood up for himself, he kept tryin to move away, told the assailant to stop multiple times, and was advanced on AGAIN.. if this isnt self defense i dont know what is.. are we supposed to wait until we are actually killed or assualted, self defense is suppossed to stop BEFORE youre attacked fully.. he doesnt know that man, and doesnt know hes a youtuber pranking. Hopefully this sends a message to other content creators that find enjoyment in harassing people daily.
