He’s not pranking, he’s harassing people
facts
"Budding Comedian" some said. That's the best laugh yet.
this is why @romanatwood should delete his dumb old "prank" videos; it encourages copy cats. IMO they are the worst videos allowed to be posted on @RUclips. policy needs to change and pranks/prank channels need to be banned.
I wonder, did he learn his lesson?
Karma kicked his ass lol 😂🤣
His dad's responsible.
The father needs to talk to his son about the perils of trying to make a career out of being an asshole to random people.
That's tough to do when the father is an asshole himself.
Unfortunately, doubtfully.
The father even believes his own lies
The punks father is wrong. I can point to the very beginning as a clear indicator especially the part where the man asks the two idiots to get back and leave him alone and they get up in his personal space. You would have to be blind to not see that! People aren't just playthings for others to bully and sadly, looks like daddy didn't learn that lesson either!
When the father has to walk his son to school...because he is in the same third grade, it´s going to be impossible.
The father is just as big of an a-hole if he doesn’t see the threat.
Everyone who does these "pranks" should be arrested for harrasment.
after being punched out.
Arrested, possibly punched, not shot.
@@3DJapanit is easy for you to say that he didn’t feel threatened because it didn’t happen to you. Look at how intimidating the RUclipsr was, he was much bigger, had a creepy look like he was either crazy or on drugs, and he continued to harass the delivery driver after repeatedly being told to stop. Even the threat of calling the cops didn’t stop him. The average person would feel threatened by these actions, and that is all that is needed to use “deadly force”. You do not have to fear for your life, only that you feel that you are at risk of bodily harm. So yes, if they act like this idiot shooting them is an acceptable response.
@@TheCrazyMoparDude68. Exactly. How is a small guy supposed to defend himself against a bigger harasser. I’ve been harassed and beaten in the past. I couldn’t fight back so I had to endure the beating! If I had a gun and used it, I would’ve gone to jail. I lose either way!
Yup. These kind of guys and also these loser “auditors”.
That the father isnt embarassed to have a son like that is beyond me...
Like father, like son.
Neither are the serial cheating fathers that have serial cheating sons.
Maybe he is embarrassed. But he has to save face and stick up for his own flesh and blood in front of the cameras.
@@zitkanaduza.89 the way he does it makes it worse. If he showed that he was disgusted by his sons behavour, the audience would be more on his side.
@@WiggyRS The clip starts mid-speech and then the audio cuts out before he's done talking, so you don't actually know if the dad expressed disgust at his son's behavior.
The father is a clear indicator of how his son became a bully with zero accountability.
So this prank was bullying?
@kingbaboon1145 if you think following someone around who's half your size and getting in their personal space/taunting them while his friend laughs & records after being told to leave him alone multiple times isn't bullying, you're part of the problem.
You can't just do any idiotic thing that pops into your head and call it a prank to erase accountability.
@@blightedgrounds you really need thicker skin if you think this is bullying.
@@kingbaboon1145 You're really living up to your name. Maybe you should follow in his footsteps and see how it works out for you.
@@kingbaboon1145 A prank is supposed to be funny. in what way is harassing a stranger with an abusive message and a phone thrust at them when they are clearly becoming distressed by it funny to you?
As a delivery driver, *this is exactly what the beginning of a robbery looks like.*
That's scary. No wonder he pulled his weapon.
I guess Terminator 2 stopped paying him royalties. Now he lives a low profile life as John Connor Uber Eats driver..
They usually pull out a phone that is playing an audio clip "hey dinkle quit thinking about my twinkle" over and over?
@@connormullin4547 they invade your space…
Oh yes justification is all that matters. Go america!!! Go after the fact conspiracy reguardless of accountable objective witnesses lol. Strike the witnesses strike history strike the law. Minority report and the feelings police ignorance to use violence over verbal dialogue or communication. Yes lest all justify us acting like 3 year olds and chi1dren can brings gums to scuool to retaliate against their suool bullys for hurting their feelings with their words…
This is was unnacountable untransparent adherent stupidity looks like.
If you are told “leave me alone” consider it as a final warning
Couldn’t have said it better, thanks
The food deliverer just trying to make a living. The bully needs to be put in prison for harassment.
rewatching this clip they are crowding the delivery driver , almost like they were going to jump / rob him
Why are people's first reaction, prison? HUGE waste of taxpayer money for just harassment. Mandated community service and opening up a class action law suit on those he harassed so he doesn't profit off it seems much more in line with actual justice and fixing of behavior.
@@GnomesRox prison is used to punish people who decide to break laws it's a consequence plus it keeps idiots like this dude off of the streets from harming other people
@@ingamingpc1634 Prison should be one of the last resorts for the most serious crimes, which this is not. If you sue him and take his earnings from this, he is no longer incentivized to do this. The people who are harassed get money, and you don't waste money locking someone up for tens of thousands of dollars each year.
I mean come on, this is pretty basic. Instead of being triggered over the "bad people", think a little first.
Glad they interviewed the dad. Explains why his son is the way he is.
He's an even bigger loser than his son
Same as the dad of Anthony Huber. These guys sons attacked the victim, got shot for their troubles, and then they turn around and blame the victim.
YEP-Probably useless step dad
Definitely!
The real crime here is allowing this man to reproduce.
That is public bullying not prank. Smaller man asks larger man to stop.
I don't have to ask anybody to NOT do anything. Don't do it to begin with
@@Eman-vp5wk agree , but some people that have to be TOLD becuse either they were not ' home trained' , like the asshole who got shot, or if they were , do not care.
Multiple times, while walking away...
And there were two of them following him in his space; definitely threatening
Harassment, intimidation, and from the perspective of the victim it could be a robbery. He was approached by two people doing nothing but stalking him and playing some strange sound clip. I would have reacted as well. I'm not going to let two evildoers rob, stab, and shoot me.
That's an adult bully. He was dealt with appropriately but then cried to his daddy. What a child.
If I were on the jury, I would have voted for complete exoneration and asked the prosecutor when he is going to press for harassment charges against the RUclipsr. These little pukes who harass people in public to score views on social media need to be taught a lesson.
little pukes xD i'm gonna steal this one from you, well said. however pressing harassment charges won't really help. you can put them in jail for 1-2 years, but it wont' help .. cuz they won't learn anything. in their eyes, YOU ARE WRONG and they are right.
what you need to do in order to make them understand, is pull similar "pranks" on themselves. for example next time one of those pranksters orders food, put dog poop inside their food, hide it well and make sure they really bite into it.
once they take a bite and most likely spit it out, then walk up to them with camera and go like "AHAHAHAHHA ITS A PRANK!!!"
or walk up to them pee on their feet, then say "AHAHAHAH ITS A PRANK!!!"
only then, they'd understand that their "harmless pranks" are not as harmless as they make it sound.
they are doing this, because they are too dumb to understand how their "pranks" have negative effect on others. to them it's just a joke and they don't understand why someone would get mad over it.
oh no, did your fragile feelings get hurt from a text to speech app? 😢 you were probably thinking about his pinkle
@@jtjoemamma you hurt cuz your boyfriend got shot? Wow
@@jacksontrannguyen8424 yes
Well, this shows that his parents are enablers of their son's horrible behavior
And they should stop calling this a prank. It's plain and simply bullying and harrassment.
@@C.A.MARSUPIAL Bullying and harrassment is no more a reason to use deadly force than a prank. The aggressor's intent is only part of the equation, the victim has to demonstrate that he feared for his life and safety.
@@AJTramberg If someone keeps advancing on you and you don't feel threatened you are naive.
@@AJTramberg okay, i guess its fine for 3 men to harass a woman
@@AJTramberg actually the prosecutor has to prove that there was no credible threat. That's how innocent until proven guilty works
Stop calling that creep a "prankster". At the time he was shot, he was an "assailant".
That is called harassment.
How did he threaten anyone’s life? He was playing a RUclips video and being annoying. He didn’t pull a knife or anything.
@@tonybelfast1389 these people are idiots bro
@AlexandriaOccasional-Cortex that would fit the legal description of stalking 😂 🤡 you and AOC
@@tonybelfast1389 He, his friend, and camera man surround him then followed him. He’s also trying to distract and confuse him by playing the weird audio recording. If this happened to me, I would assume he was trying to traffic me, assault me, or steal from me. When he follows him, that’s when it becomes a serious threat. I know I would’ve made a scene in this situation.
As someone who grew up in a rough neighborhood, the “pranksters” behavior would raise a red flag in my book immediately. I’ve seen it countless times, the thugs will surround the victim and a lot of times seem like they are joking or being friendly before someone in the group sucker punches the victim and they steal all of his things.
If you can't discharge a weapon in a public place, how will you defend yourself when you leave the house? What a weird law. If the self defense was good, then the discharge should be dismissed.
It clearly wasn't. This guy went from 0 to execution in literally 5 seconds.
@@davidfaustino4476 He was found not guilty, possibly because he was surrounded by three people (the fool, his sidekick, the cameraman). He might not have felt he could have fought them, and he was already trying to walk away but they followed (maybe he was physically unable to run).
Leaving your house isn't a public place. A public place is where the public congregates. Unless, outside your house is in the city and large swaths of the public walk passed your house on the regular. Then it's a public place. But Joe blow out in the boonies doesn't count as a public place.
Sidewalk outside your house is a public place
@@dmcg1917 That's the point. The law(s) sound as if they want you to only self defend at home, but one needs to defend himself at 1M other places too. But laws about discharging in public seem silly. Either the shot was self defense and therefore ok, or it wasn't. But really the issue is moot since he was found not guilty of attempted murder. Did the discharge charge get dropped?
This is bad parenting here ladies and gentlemen. They raised a bad citizen, a bully, a bad person.
Yes they did!
I think the dad was just happy his son was not home all the time doing this stuff on camera to him
I think good parents can have bad kids and vice-versa.
@@mariopalos9238 anyway they don’t look like good parents to me. And i am sure upbringing is the most important thing in any life.
Not to mention making excuses for bad behavior. Where’s the line where a prank becomes blatant harassment?
It's not a prank - it's harassment. You prank someone you already know, not a stranger.
People who harass others aren't usually this brazen.
It's usually more covert.
When the person being harassed is a "targeted individual", the harassment is called gangstalking
I think a harmless prank is okay so long as both parties can laugh and walk away. What this guy was doing was harassment and he should have stopped immediately once he was bugging someone who clearly didn’t want anything to do with him.
Pranking strangers is ok, like on the old Candid Camera show, but threatening and harassing is not a “prank”.
The thing is those shows tend to have a lot of people who are thinking about how the prank will play out, the kind of reactions people will make, and just when to back off. Even though it might seem like common sense, it's kind of hard to know how far people are willing to go or just how little they aren't. So with that said, I'm sure whatever the prank was in his head he probably had it all played out and thought it was going to be so funny and everyone would be laughing and whatnot. Instead reality smacked him in the face, literally and figuratively.@@harleyrdr1
Face it, Dad. You "raised" a jerk of a kid and now you trying to blame his lack of judgement on someone else. So, who's the negligent one?
we're living in society where kids always blame their incompetence on someone else and their parents defend them.
This is how robberies occur, distract and take. The guy with the phone was threatening with his demeanor.
Shame on the father. He failed with his son.
Scumbags raise scumbags.

@@washmycup🤷🏽♂️play stupid games win stupid prizes
Notice how he picks a guy half his size to harass.
Every bully is a coward.
You asked where the line was The line was when he said, leave me alone. He kept crossing that line. That's the line when you tell someone to leave you alone. And they continue, you don't know what their intention is and I say it was reasonable force.
The old saying, you are ugly and your mother dresses you funny. At least his dad is on his side.
Well put and concise comment, thanks
These “pranks” are disgusting and should be removed as soon as they are put on line.
Immediately demonetized for life
His Father basically raised him as a bully.
Why the fuck did you capitalize father
That father is not getting sympathy from anyone... Teach your child to act like a human being and we can talk
RUclips needs to take down channels like his and stop encouraging this sort of thing
If "Biff Tannon", from B2TF were a real person...
I guess there are some places where you're not allowed to defend yourself. Getting charged for discharging a firearm in a public place when using your firearm in a defensive manner is ridiculous.
Maybe these people who think that pranking others is funny will finally realize it is just another form of bullying.
I'm pretty sure its audience is comprised of mostly bullies in the first place.
Most bullies say, “I’m just playing, can’t you take a joke??” When they’re actually just harassing someone.
But when someone else does that to them they can't take it.

@markmenz I initially thought you had made a typo but…
"I don't like bullies."
Brings a whole new meaning to “F around and find out”. There may have been a better way to deal with this specific altercation, but people need to learn to live in REALITY. This is the result of living in a SOFT society in which PARENTS DO NOT DISCIPLINE THEIR CHILDREN.
100% true. i'd say "act like a dog, get treated like a dog". i dislike this "soft" society aswell, it's irritating. kids running around with their cameras and harass people .. it's low level terrorism if you ask me.
When 2 guys approach you in your face and you tell them to stop but they refuse... and keep getting close to you is definitely something to fear..
Three guys. Camera guy makes three. There's plenty of knockout game that happened like this.
EXACTLY!!!!
If he were in a “stand your ground” state this would have never even went to trial.
Dude had zero obligation to retreat, did anyway, they kept advancing, and he neutralized them.
Especially in America most people own a gun and have a carry arms license because it's America. These young people should know that
@@kweenzwalters3916 dummy the dangerous people don’t have a license.

To the father... What gives your son the right to harass people???
But in what world is it OK to shoot someone for pestering you? In this case, both parties were in the wrong.
@MyFiddlePlayer I get where you're coming from, but you gotta see it from his perspective. Being a delivery driver, you're traveling lots of different places interacting with a ton of people, and most likely operating under a company which most likely isn't concerned with your safety and views you as replaceable.
The way that situation was getting set up looked like the one dude was distracting him, while his friend was approaching/following him. For all he knew, he was about to get stabbed.
Not trying to be rude, just some perspective. I worked a lot of retail jobs and home service, but I sure as heck wouldn't want to do deliveries.
@@MyFiddlePlayer Nobody has the right to pester a stranger in the first place. We really need to stop empowering/enabling these clout chasing pranksters. It's not funny, not entertaining, and it does not better anyone.

Moral of the story: When someone says stop, you stop. Those kids were old enough to know that interfering with a stranger's personal space meant and they had to know that physical assault from that was very possible. Considering nobody died from the incident I would say the injuries were 100% deserved and I hope the "prankster" finally learned his lesson.
He said he'd do it again from his hospital bed
It's not proportionate force. His life was not threatened, yet the guy he shot could have died.
If all things were the same, except the man shot turned out to have been born with severe developmental delays, I'm sure the jury would have said the shooter was unreasonable to feel his life was threatened.

The father played a significant role in this shooting incident. He failed to teach proper manners and respect in his son. This is the result of them not teaching him to respect others' boundaries and accept a 'no' and just leaving people alone.

He's likely a bully and as passed this on to his bully child. He could have gotten his child killed. He still may.

Dad asks "Where's the line..." The line is where your son would not take no for an answer and back off. Where he thinks that what he wants to do takes priority over other peoples right to not be harassed ...now what does that sound like???
You know i think the son is lucky, imagine he doing this to a cartel member not knowing who he is messing with
@@havel6060 Exactly!
Pity.. the father trying to justify the idiocy of his son. It all boils down to the manner on how he raised his kid. F around and find out.
Pranking strangers should be a crime.
this is what a result of bad parenting looks like
I guess you talk about the mf that shoots people
@@user-mi5sq4zc5pas opposed to the guy who harassed him and many others?
Bit of an ignorant statement but okay. You’d be surprised how many good parents end up with crap kids. Some times theres nothing you can do. Some kids are just a straight loss no matter how they are parented.
The saddest part is the RUclipsr survived 😢
Nooooo it cant be!
Ahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂
Dam right!
Damn lol
Bro what
This is the best news. Glad to see people defend themselves. If every one knew this could happen people would have so much more respect for each other.
The person that was harassed and stalked has been imprisoned for 6 months at the time of this verdict.
Meanwhile the person making a living of pretending to throw up on people or creepily follow them through stores gained 15.000 subscribers.
Let that sink in.
Perfect case of 'fuck around and find out'
More like "I told you so"
Behind every bully is a bad parent.
this is so ironic haha!!!
the father clearly demonstrates the root cause
Mental abuse is deadly. How many people have killed themselves because of mental abuse?
In that regard, Alan found his mental state being abused and took action to defend it.
I don’t understand why people think it’s acceptable to be rude and harass people as a form of entertainment, it’s disgusting and pathetic.
Being approached by a group, holding an object in your face, following you very closely no matter how much you push them away is definitely enough to assume your life could be in danger. In a world where people are robbed in broad daylight, I can’t blame him.
Delivery drivers are targeted by robbers constantly. A pizza delivery man was robbed and murdered in my home town not long ago.
Especially since the guy was like nearly twice his size
Damn, the US does sound like a crime-riddled developing country. How do you guys cope with the constant violent crime and fear? Sounds really exhausting.
@@lolasonne1772 Well, the US has a crime problem for sure, but it's a bit more complicated than that. For example in 2020, 2% of US counties made up over 56% of entire country's murder stats. And even in those counties with sky high body counts, it's mostly concentrated in a few specific areas. So while it's obviously a problem, people getting robbed and killed and stuff are not as widespread or constant for the average american.
I was thinking the same thing
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Two kids pushing a single person …escalating…
The victim was walking away, saying no, stop. I disagree with dad, SHOULD he WAIT UNTIL IT BECOMES TOO LATE? WAIT TILL HE IS IN DANGER AND HE IS THE ONE SHOT? HE OBVIOUSLY FELT THREATENED AND AFRAID.
If a man who is considerably larger than me keeps harassing me and getting closer without even saying a word, I think that feeling threatened is perfectly reasonable
Ya but don’t assume every jury will find you not guilty.
@@BrooklynBalla better judged by 12 than carried by six. Have you not paid attention to the knockout games and other crap being done?
It was two on one when you think about it. The father is a jackass.
@@BrooklynBalla almost every jury will acquit in such situations. Many situations if juries considering such situations to be self defense, never seen someone get convicted over shooting two guys who are following him.
Truthfully it shouldn't have to be someone considerably larger than you. In regular street fights the person who throws the first punch wins 9 out of 10 times.
And there's plenty of examples of people randomly attacking significantly larger people, and causing life long physical trauma or even death.
Prayers going out that the shooter makes a speedy mental recovery. I hope he gets awarded for being so brave
he is an insane lunatic. think about what he did, he shot someone, over a dumb annoying prank. let that sink in. the guy was annoying him, so he decided that he no longer deserved to live. he was ready to end the life of another human being over nothing. and you think he deserves an award? you are an insane, delusional, murderous lunatic. think of it this way, this comment you made is annoying, and dumb, and inflammatory, just like the guy making the prank video was, so based on that, do you think that you deserve to die now? no. you don't think that. because you don't care about anyone else's right to live, only yours.
Amen
Sadly he's still being charged for discharging a firearm in public and is still in jail. What a world. Can defend yourselves but still go to jail for something else.
@@Kurry34 if you are that pussy to use a pistol over a prankster your just a coward.
He could trow a punch at him not shooting him in a MALL.
It was not self defence if a guy piss you off you use your hands not your gun grow up
@@Kurry34 That was NOT self defense, did the prankster stab the shooter? No! Its a prank,yea it was annoying, but ain't no prankster attempt to kill someone, y'all stupid af
You can tell by his dad, that this "YOU TUBER" is a 100% complete DB.
The bully was harassing strangers smaller than him and with a sidekick and making money from it! Unacceptable! File a case against him, everything you can think of!
That dude was pushing forward like he was gonna do something still after multiple times told to stop, and he had buddies with him. That's more than enough to defend yourself in any way.
He would have hit him in the face with the camera had he not moved back. he told him to stop. This wasn't some prank done at 5 feet away. His safety was at risk.
No, it’s really not. Holding your phone up to someone is not a reason to use deadly force. You guys have lost your minds lol
3-4 large males following him with one in his face and refusing to move back @@SkitzoFPV
Their behavior was threatening. The one with the phone could be charged with assault in most states. A reasonable person would assume that they were in some danger. A week earlier he had made a joke out of stalking a woman in a Target.
Shooting someone over an audio recording? Yeah buddy, you pro gunners are delusional. This was not self defense. There's a difference between using guns when they are actually neccessary, and using them on annoying tiktokers.
The jury doesn't agree with you. The issue isn't the audio, but rather 3-4 males being aggressive and refusing to backoff or step away. They were in his face and refuses to give him space. A reasonable person would have felt threatened and in danger. A week earlier their prank was stalking a woman. @@washmycup
You can tell his father not bright. You don’t educate your kid, someone will.
Your English shows you aren't bright at all.
Harassing strangers for social media purposes can cost you your life. Is it worth it? Think twice or 3 times please!
As a parent I understand you want to defend your kids, but me myself I would definitely own up to it when mistakes are made.
The shooter needs to be exonerated of all charges. The prankster should be charged with harassment and disturbing the peace.
In what world is it OK to shoot someone for pestering you? In this case, both parties were in the wrong.
@@MyFiddlePlayer Exactly, these comments are ridiculous
I can't believe how many comments there are supporting the shooter, it's batshit insane.
The youtuber was being a little bit annoying in public and this guy just shoots him for no reason. I know leftist say people who watch Fox news have small brains, but I didn't realise it was this bad. Fucking unreal
@@MyFiddlePlayer Yep. Comment sections like these are why every sane person outside the US ridicules you guys. 😅
@@kingsharkoon You just can't fix stupid!
dude acting like a straight up bully..
YEAH BUT THE OTHER IS A STRAIGHT UP KILLER
@@user-mi5sq4zc5p He was minding his own business. Whose fault is it? I don’t think it’s the shooter.
Dang it...he survived.
The dad should say this to his son first before blaming others.
This incident should not happen if your son is respectful to others.
Imagine for a moment that the delivery person was female.
What threat level do you perceive it as, now?
Imagine the prankster was a female.
@@AG-kb7yb yeah? What's your point? Prankster is still in the wrong and set themselves up for their victim to claim self-defense.
imagine if the prankster was a robotic turkey from the year 9595
@@bforman1300 What threat level do you perceive from a female prankster?
The point was quite obvious. 🤦🏻♂️
@@AG-kb7yb I made my statement. It doesn't matter what gender. The prankster presents as a threat
These “pranksters” deserve it. The line was crossed when the delivery guy kept asking him to stop and get away and the “prankster” didn’t listen.
Not an excuse to shoot someone. Shooting someone over an audio recording? Yeah buddy, you pro gunners are delusional. This was not self defense.
@@washmycup you just showed me you lived in a safe neighborhood all your life without telling me you lived in a safe neighborhood all your life🤣. Where I’m from, what that dumbass TikToker did could have been a sign that you’re about to get attacked.
@@washmycup not pro gunners; just someone who believes that in this situation; he had a right to defend himself, not just a random situation when all the facts have been considered.
Terroristic threats, against someone,a class of people, a job..where robbery is frequent. Ruined this guy's life for his prank factory. A hope a civil suit follows
The father defending the son is totally clueless.. maybe his parenting skill need to go on trial
Sorry, Dad, but when people are being harassed by someone unknown to them and is aggressively followed after telling them to stop, you can’t blame them for thinking this person(s) has potentially nefarious intentions.
The dad is likely getting money from it
Guilty. Attempted murder.
@@JohnCarterIsMyNamenope not guilty
L@@JohnCarterIsMyName
@@JohnCarterIsMyNamebut you are wrong, found not guilty. I bet that stomach shot was fun to heal from.
Hope these parents are reading all these comments. People are SICK of Tik Tok and You tuber pranksters. The dude was just minding his own business. Hey dad tell your kid to get a job and stop harassing people.
Dad wants the benefits of a youtube lifestyle.
hes gonna get a dead kid@@kateruterbories2692
Pranks are one thing, but Tanner 100% harasses his victims. He’s lucky to be alive tbh, but sadly he has not learned his lesson. Tanner says he’ll continue to harass people under the guise of being pranks.
That large "kid" is probably spoiled rotten. Had daddy to give him everything he wants, so he has no idea what it means to be a contributing member of society, so just goes around harassing innocent people.
@@HypocritesExposd he will soon find his own demise by doing what he loves
Your son was relentlessly pursuing a complete stranger in an aggressive and extremely bizarre manner out of nowhere with no explanation.
Anyone approached the way that your son came at that man would be alarmed and feel threatened.
He had every right to defend himself.
Your son is a public menace.
Shouldn't have been convicted of anything. If it was ruled self defense then the judge should have thrown out the second charge.
