I misread the police car on the thumbnail as "Meesa police" and thought it was going to be a jarjar binks meme before I read the title

wait until you find out how much DDT we sprayed everywhere.
...are you retarded?
It's a rhetorical question.
I do not agree with the use of "prankster".
Yeah this is a mass poisoning.
Dude, it's just a prank, bro!
Right to jail
on the vegetables some will already have pesticides from the factory
Smith recorded his face, the pesticide can and the act of him spraying its contents. He later posted the recording online.
"Arrest me Daddy uwu"
Yeah, that's not a prank. That could have killed people if nobody noticed it.
I hope they lock his dumb ass up for a long time.
From the last wave of pranks when people licked ice creams and put it back I have learned that messing with food is a federal crime in the US and is taken quite seriously.
That’s because it’s an easy way to cause the death of children. People become angry, understandably.
It could also cause the death of a CEO, which is an even more serious concern.
As it should be. The regulations were significantly increased after the Tylenol murders in 1982. It's also why we have no tamper things on many ingestible items.

Uh oh, but will that department get the ax after inauguration? Might be time to do delivery only groceries. Where I live they come from special stores with no general public access.
I think they'd have a harder time getting rid of the FDA than the Department of Education, which sadly is in the crosshairs.
Honestly - and I’m asking this in good faith - why do we need a federal department of education? Every state has their own department of education and sets their own standards anyway. Is it not redundant? Do they do something special? The only thing I can recall that was federal education related was no child left behind which destroyed education and just led to children passing grades that can’t read, write or do basic math. And of course the federal student loan program, which is just the government profiteering off its youth.
Note how I’m not asking why we need the FDA. There’s not even a question about how we need it. Arguably, we need more of it.
If they get rid if the Department of Education, then they could follow up with the FDA in a couple years with no problems.
We shall see. I think anything with regulations is going to be added to the swamp. https://www.science.org/content/article/mixed-reactions-greet-trump-s-pick-longtime-fda-critic-head-agency
Now, this could qualify as terrorism.
Not a single murder of a psychopathic indirect mass murderer CEO.
It would need to be politically motivated
Doubt many CEOs shop at Walmart, otherwise it would totally be terrorism charges.
you'd be surprised. A fairly large number of them are quite miserly, even in their personal lives.
The CEO types have people who are responsible for filing the fridge and pantry. Those people probably shop at Walmart just like everyone else.

"Prank"
He only got ~300 likes on his posts, too. Dude's picking up a felony charge for 300 likes.
Good, let him rot in irrelevance, and prison.
It's remarkable that it needs to be said but... Don't record yourself doing crimes and post it on YouTube.
So you want people not getting caught for illegal, and immoral actions?
actually, do record yourself doing crimes.
Right? I'm all for it.
I want stupid people to remove themselves from society as quickly as possible.
Unless you do universally hated shit like this dickhole, then by all means, tell us exactly who you are and what you did.
