Is that the one where he was like a doordash driver or something trying to pick up food, but a guy kept following him around with his phone and playing annoying sounds in the guy's ear? And then he shot him (NOT FATAL) which was awesome if a little overkill?

u/Wolfdude91 13h ago

Yes and the ‘prankster’ learned absolutely nothing from it.

u/ElmerFuddsElbow 2h ago

Well, he did learn how it feels to get shot

But the viral video was so worth the pain and hospital bills

And his parents were defending him being a shit. Guess we know where he got it from.

Ya! I honestly should have grabbed the video.

Man gets shot for being annoying and that’s “awesome” and “a little overkill”? What the fuck is wrong with you people?

u/Really_Big_Turtle 2h ago

Watch the video someone linked in another comment.

u/Pleasant_Curve_9024 1h ago

Yeah I just watched it and it doesn’t help your case in the slightest. The prank guy is walking and playing the noises at the shooter for like 10 seconds total, and the guy pulls out a gun and shoots him. You think that’s a valid use of a firearm? That’s genuinely disgusting.

Do you think that guy’s life was in imminent danger, or do you think it was so fast of a situation that he didn’t have time to think and it was just an instinctive reaction to a potential threat?

I can’t see any reality where that is reasonable use of force. If it was okay to shoot anyone who is pissing you off there would be massacres every single day. What an idiotic Reddit echo chamber take.

You should go out and participate in reality instead of reddit some time because in reality he was justified

u/Pleasant_Curve_9024 1h ago

Okay so someone playing a voice sound from their phone is an imminent threat to your life that justifies using deadly force according to you, got it.

u/devilishycleverchap 1h ago

Look at that fancy strawman you built for yourself. So fancy

Let me know what the judge said

1

u/Pleasant_Curve_9024 1h ago

How is that a strawman, that is the literal situation? Did you watch the video?

1

u/devilishycleverchap 1h ago

Did the judge not have access to the video? What about this guy's lawyer?

1

u/Pleasant_Curve_9024 1h ago

I’m asking for your read of the situation. Tell me how YOU think it was justified and a reasonable use of force. I was not a part of the jury for the case.

Surely Underkill if he survived?

u/Lemons-95 3h ago

You think he deserved to be shot for playing annoying sounds on a phone, i think you deserve to be shot for saying that, i tried to judge you but just ran into my own rebuttle. Oh well.

1

u/Really_Big_Turtle 3h ago

I said I thought shooting him was overkill, but he deserved SOME kind of reality check for harassing people and filming them without their consent.

u/Lemons-95 3h ago

You did not say it was overkill, you said "It was awesome, if a little overkill", those are teo extremely different statements, this isn't a potato pot-a-to situation.

2

u/RogueTRex 3h ago

Sounds like exactly the correct amount of kill. None.

1

u/Lemons-95 2h ago

Tell someone close to you to say this if you ever survive being shot.

u/nowhere_sane 3h ago

I’ll probably get downvoted but yes.

He was repeatedly harassing a guy who was trying to do his job and was concerned about his safety when this person wouldn’t stop, he had the right to make him stop.

Honestly, people want to worship the 2A but this is a classic FAFO situation.

Don’t fuck with random people. Back in the day, real prank shows got willing participants, model releases, etc.

They didn’t just fuck with randoms and it was all about making sure things are done LEGALLY and above board.

That harasser did none of that and he’s lucky he got wounded and not outright killed for harassing someone.

The guy was a stalker and got put in his place, imho. Of course, he learned nothing so both of our opinions are moot.

u/devilishycleverchap 1h ago

Is that all he was doing?

What did the judge say?

u/Lemons-95 1h ago

It's the thing being suggested is why a Man deserves to be shot.

1

u/devilishycleverchap 1h ago

Is it or is that you simplifying a summary of events so that you can build a strawman?

What did the judge say?

1

u/Lemons-95 1h ago

I didn't provide that version of events, and again, I'm not attacking a verdict, I'm attacking the idea that someone annoying you with sounds on their phone is grounds to shoot them. I'm not the one building a strawman here.

You know it is possble to just shut up, if you try.

u/counterfitster 12h ago

I'm surprised the dude got off on the malicious wounding charge. While the prankster was annoying, that wasn't at all a threat requiring response with a gun.

u/ChrAshpo10 6h ago

A guy much larger than you is forcing himself into your space calling you a pedophile, shoving his phone in your face. There are countless videos out there of people beating the shit out of "pedophiles", so it is not unreasonable to believe this much bigger guy was going to do the same to you. Dude was justified in shooting him and the jury believed so too

2

u/ganbramor 12h ago

Maybe the judge or jury also hates pranksters and wanted to send a message.

1

u/Really_Big_Turtle 4h ago

It wasn't a threat that involved immediately firing the gun. He could have just brandished it, THEN discharged if the guy didn't back down. That being said, the guy was pretty aggressively and continuously harassing him, clearly larger than him, pushing his body against his and so on. He had every reason to believe the situation could escalate into violence.

u/devilishycleverchap 1h ago

Learn firearm laws. Once the gun is out, I'm using it

u/OneEducatedBumblebee 7h ago

half of reddit doesn´t understand what "reasonable consequences" and "self-defense" actually means, dont expect upvotes
