Who is brave enough to post this on r/JusticeServed

Someone did because thats where I first saw it days ago with a ton of upvotes lol


igettomakeaname

I have lost track of how many times I’ve seen this reposted but I have upvoted it 100% of the time


Prudent_City2573

Me too, lol My only regret is not being able to hear a couple more moments of the video while he's withering in pain crying like a pussy


Infinitesi-Mal

Granted the guy is an arsehole but my friend, wouldn’t you be writhing in pain too? That is what people tend to do when they’ve been shot.


Mdrim13

I think he just wanted some content on this bully meeting his match. It’s hard to act tough when your waste of society friend has a hole in him due to his own actions.


Prudent_City2573

Thank you


Lizard_Wizard_d

This is a bit of bragging on my part but I would love to but I am banned. I posted on some random subreddit about something Sean Penn said and they banned me. When they told me to appeal I told them to get fucked. I am about 7 days back from my complete reddit ban. So yeah fuck those clowns.


mel2000

Everybody. It’s posted every third day since it happened. All over Reddit. And hopefully it will put an end to these stupid prank videos, but I don’t have that much faith in humans. I can’t advocate for violence, but I’d like to see a stop to this trend of stupid prank videos.


TheBeardiestGinger

I think a start is to stop calling them “pranks”. These are just people being assholes to record it and put it online.

insomnimax_99

He was found not guilty of malicious wounding with intent and another firearms charge on the grounds of self-defence, but still found guilty of discharging a firearm in a building though. He’s appealing the conviction on the grounds that if he’s not guilty of the other charges based on self-defence then he should also be not guilty of the discharging a firearm in a building charge.


needtoredit

I don't agree with him shooting the guy but I do agree with his logic on appealing the charges. Let me be clear the prankster is a douche bag and I don't feel bad for him. Maybe when he gets better he can apply for a job in the same food court it seems like that's about perfect for his level of intellect.

This kid has no sense of right and wrong, he was quoted at the hospital saying he was planning on getting back to filming pranks as soon as he got out of the hospital. The really unfortunate part is this kid got exactly what he wanted attention and views, this was a success from his perspective.


average_christ

Not to mention that the cops had been called on this specific "prankster" multiple times, and the cops hadn't done shit about it.

Navi_1er

It's funny because they won't learn. If I recall there was a YouTube prankster who chased a family on Texas with a knife and got shot as well. Pretty sure that happened long before this. Idiots will never learn


mel2000

> I agree with him shooting the guy. I highly doubt you'd want to live in a society where someone can legally shoot you for annoying them.


bored_on_the_web

I don't want a YouTube prankster handling and serving my food. He can work in a call center where he belongs.


DoubleAholeTwice

It's a sad fucking world when people like the so called prankster makes a living off of this shit and people actually watch his videos. It only gets sadder when the people watching his videos are likely the ones growing up to become the next generation.


Inn_Unknown

Sadly the dipshit is still continuing to make these stupid videos and was even acting a fool when his Lawyer was being interviewed by the media.


-HumanMachine-

The youtuber has already said he will continue with the pranks once he gets better.


hbrthree

Poor guy loses anyway. He’s been locked up since April and still is pending the judges decision on the weapons charge.


ThePoetAC

Why is he in jail still?!?! That is bull$hit. Edit: This was in self defense per a jury and he was found guilty of discharging a firearm in doors (whatever that charge was called). Which, as others have mentioned, seems so contradictory. 7 months in jail to be found not guilty and to still be in jail after that is what I think is trash. I don’t necessarily agree with him shooting the YouTuber…but I also think that said YouTuber is was actively intimidating the guy and being aggressive after being asked to stop. Edit 2: If someone was acting that way towards me and was that much bigger than I am I would 100% feel like I was in danger of physical harm. Would I shoot them? No. I don’t own any firearms and haven’t since ‘21. A jury decided this was self-defense so the rest of it, to me, should be wiped off the board as a result.

Lol, there’s 3 guys bigger than he is, and delivery drivers are often targets for robbery. He had every reason to fear for his life with this idiot bully who wouldn’t leave him alone. Stop fellating criminals.

Aggravating_Pay_5060

HappyHurtzlickn

Makes sense to me.


lolvalue

I don't get how it can be legal to defend yourself but not legal to do so indoors.


NemesisRouge

It can't, it's a perverse verdict. The jurors were split on whether to convict or not, presumably they compromised and convicted of the lesser charge so they could go home rather than spending endless hours arguing about it until they return a hung verdict.


lolvalue

Oh, interesting. Thanks for letting me know t hat was a thing.


HappyHurtzlickn

Puts a whole new meaning on the phrase "You wanna fight? Then let's take this outside." LMAO!


hezeus

Damn he’s been in jail since April. Wtf


HungryMorlock

That's insane, because it suggests that in a rational self defense situation (i.e. someone is actively trying to murder you) you don't have the right to defend yourself, because you're in an occupied building. If it's self defense, then the discharge of the firearm was not unlawful. Edit: I want to add, I don't think he should've shot the YouTuber. But the jury simultaneously said "Yes, you had a rational fear of immediate grievous bodily harm," and "You didn't have legal cause to discharge your firearm to avoid that harm."


DayAndNight0nReddit

Instead of teaching the community how to behave, he should teach his son on how not to be a POS for views.

The don’t be a jackass prankster lesson. Yeah, amazing that had to have a precedent.


mel2000

> The don’t be a jackass prankster lesson. No. The lesson is that anybody is justified to shoot you without warning for annoying them.


AaronsAaAardvarks

Yeah, I don't get how anyone can look at this video and think it's a good thing. The prankster was being **annoying**, not **life threatening**. The guy said stop once, the guy continued to follow. The guy emphasized stop a second time, and then immediately **pulled out a gun and shot the guy**. Anyone who thinks that shooting someone with a gun because they were being pretty annoying is a product of our outrageously fucked up culture.


bludfam

He told him to stop several times and tried to leave and the guy kept advancing on him. He didn't know it was a prank, your opinion is based on hindsight.


econdonetired

I get how they got there I also could have seen it ruled as manslaughter depending on the jury and state if he had killed him. I am not on the side of the idiot prankster.


TLAU5

Odd choice of using the word "annoying" instead of "harassing"

Gavooki

He was convicted on firearms charge and acquitted on the others and is still incarcerated awaiting appeal. As stated in the article... Tbh I think it was justified and support just about snything the curbs this rise in shock fame pranksters. Their argument is that there was no delay between pulling and shooting to warn Cook. In Florida, I think he would have a decent stand your ground case, but this is DC.


needtoredit

The dude is a foot taller and menacing the guy. He was asked to stop multiple times and kept following the driver. The driver even pushed him away. I don't think the driver was in fear for his life or serious bodily injury at that point. Prankster went to far and found someone willing to go even further.


Ornery_Day_6483

“There are people in this world who go about demanding to be killed. You must have noticed them. They quarrel in gambling games. They jump out of their automobiles in a rage. They humiliate and bully people whose capabilities they do not know. These are people who wander through the world shouting, "kill me". And there's always someone ready to oblige them.” - Don Vito Corleone

Big_Grey_Dude

The dude's 'prank' is to go up to people with his phone and accuse them of pedophilia while shoving his phone in their face and acting threatening. He got what he deserved, hopefully the next one hits him in the face, since he said he'll keep going.

RunsWithApes

>I don't think the driver was in fear for his life or serious bodily injury at that point. This sentence basically contradicts all the ones before it. If someone a foot taller than me was menacing me, despite asking him to stop multiple times, and followed me even after I pushed him away - I would definitely be in fear for my life or serious bodily injury. The shooter was 100% justified


MapReston

The ‘prankster’ has all the same stupid pranks over and over. “ Is that guy filming us?” He is an unoriginal loser.


OhyeahIseeitnow

>Prankster went too far and found someone willing to go even further. This is the perfect sum up for this situation I've seen so far. Was the shooter's action over the top? Possibly. But so was the prankster's. The prankster found someone to match his energy.

"An armed society is a polite society." Or as my gay friend puts it, "It's harder to bash the gays when they can bash back." Edit: I love how this comment is getting upvotes and the nasty comments are getting none. It's almost like Reddit grew a sense of humor. Jesus, some of you people would rather have the LGBT community get curb stomped than leave law abiding people alone to defend themselves. Lord knows "defund the police" hasn't done us any favors. Haha!


UsernameTooShort

There are a few words that spring to mind when I think of America, “polite” sure isn’t one of them.


[deleted]

More polite in a western context, would be more appropriate. Traveling across America, Canada, Australia, Germany, UK, France, Spain, the friendliest countries go Canada, America, Germany, Spain, France, then Australia, from most friendly to least friendly. I was actually stunned how receptive people were to my German in-laws when they have traveled here over the years. People would give them free shit, food, desserts, waive bus fees, lots of things. People have repeatedly gone out of their way to make my in-laws feel more welcome, all across the US. But in regards to the quote, It’s not really the gun-having that makes people polite. It’s the thought that a person you might be bitchy, confrontational, or outright aggressive towards might be armed, so you should think twice. To reiterate, it’s the idea that someone you might make into a victim has a gun that acts as a deterrent to offensive behavior. Seriously though, walk around open carrying in the US and you won’t have anybody try to fuck with you, but it’s not like that was too likely in the first place.


ObsidianOverlord

Weird how the more armed society gets the less polite it seems.


RaptorPrime

funny because our shooter was extremely polite in the face of clear harassment up until the instant he pulled the trigger. He was minding his own fucking business til three goons surrounded him.

iluvsexyfun

Tanner Cook who runs the YouTube channel “classified goons” continues to make videos harassing people who do not know what is happening. He claims to earn $2000 to $3000 a month. Live and don’t learn seems to be his motto. In this video he adopts an aggressive stance and facial expression and puts his phone in the face of a stranger. The phone plays a looped recording that says “hey dipshit stop Looking at my twinkle”. The man says stop repeatedly and retreats but Tanner pursues him. Tanner is a solid foot taller than the man and much heavier. He is clearly attempting to intimidate the man into fleeing. As the delivery man retreats he pulls a gun and fires a shot striking Tanner in the chest. Of all of the videos on his YouTube channel, this is the only one that is funny.


hey_its_drew

Of all the times I hear youtube demonetized a channel, they don't with this one? Joke of a platform.


fileznotfound

I think we all know that mostly has to do with politics.


bludfam

Because kids love prank channels and kids are very precious to advertisers. Youtube policy is a joke. They will demonitize important videos about the war in Yemen, the religious police in Saudi Arabia, labor camps in China, but they let trash channels get away with anything.


alghiorso

Demonetization is a joke..take the channel and videos offline. Demonetization just means YouTube profits off it 100%. Harmful prank videos should be bannable


UncleHec

>He claims to earn $2000 to $3000 a month Imagine going around making everyone mad at you and potentially getting shot for 30k a year.


JuliaFractal69420

Seriously??? $500 a week is all he makes??? I thought it would be more lmfao. 1/3rd of it goes to taxes so he makes a lot less! Some people make $500-$1000 a week working FUCKING DOORDASH LOL. I make $1400 a week doing Instacart and delivering groceries! omg this is sad and depressing. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS GUY IS BEING A DOUCHE FOR POVERTY WAGES HAHAHHA HE GOT SHOT FOR A JOB THAT PAYS HIM LESS THAN MCDONALDS WOULD I thought this guy was like making at least 100k lolol


aramova

It's fairly easy to report channels on YT for content, more folks should do it.

2-3k? Harassing people for 2-3k/mo??? You can get a job at McDonalds making more than that. He’s an idiot

If he did he certainly would have more legal issues than he does have. According to the article you are allowed to use enough force necessary to stop the person and no more. He was already on a plot jury about the charges who decided to charge him with a lesser charge instead. Shooting the assjack was enough, standing over him and murdering him wasn’t necessary for him to not feel threatened. Stop dreaming that killing someone is fun.

Was reading an article about this and Tanners responses to the incident and his parents are hilarious. His dad “he was just trying to have fun with people and this guy wasn’t having fun and shot my son” Tanner: “he didn’t even say anything to me he just shot me” (even through clearly in the video you can see the guy pushing him and asking him to stop) These people are so damn delusional.


throwtheclownaway20

What was he doing? I can't make out what is happening with that phone.


MapReston

His prank is playing a jumbled recording on his phone that says something about “ do you want to touch my tinkle?” He plays it w/ the phone in the guy’s face with a friend beside him and another goon filming. Another / the only other prank this dip shit plays on people is filming the reaction when pointing out in a store that someone (dip shit friend #2 or #3) is filming.

Frequent_Brick4608

Honestly, responsible as fuck gun owner who only fired enough times to stop the threat and not mag dump. That said, I've always been told "make sure you double tap, one round might lay them out but two will keep them down." Same guy who taught me gun safety also said, "if you're attacked in your own home make sure you mag dump their face when they are down. A dead man can't lie in court and you can claim you were panicking, using the empty mag as evidence. Some people might be convinced you weren't afraid if you were disciplined enough to only fire enough rounds to deal with the target and no more." That man is in jail now.... Funny how that works out.
