They're both pieces of shit. You shouldn't shoot someone without a reasonable fear of your life (or arguably property) being in danger. This situation wasn't there yet. The fuckface was just being intentionally annoying.
The Youtuber should be in jail for harassment or assault. The shooter should be taking a nice plea deal for a low amount of prison time.
You can't just shoot someone in the middle of the mall because they're annoying.
After watching the video of the incident, I don't blame the driver for shooting him at all.
The "prankster" was acting really creepy and was being right up in the guys face after being asked to stop. Even after trying to walk away, the "prankster" still came right up to him, holding his phone right up to his face.
Fuck that guy. He deserved to get shot. He said he's gonna keep making those videos, and I hope he gets shot again, but hopefully the next time is the last time.
Yeah, all the people crying about how unjustified the shooting was, would probably shit their pants if two huge guys came up to them, were physically aggressive while chasing and trying to corner them and constantly in physical contact and shoving shit in their face.
You have no idea its a couple of dickheads making a video because they think harassing innocent people is funny. For all you know you're about to be assaulted, robbed, or worse by someone that should be in a mental health facility.
