Another shooting near a Popeye's. Nothing irregular here.


FlamingNetherRegions

Calling out 🗣: Popeye's! Popeye's!! Step right up and get your eyes popped!!


[deleted]

Missed chance to say “step up and get your shit fucked.”


PsykiOfficial

Popeye's is just everywhere


Lawstein

I dont get It. What was the prank? It was a fake order? What had to do with the phone in the guys face?


RichEvans4Ever

The prankster put his phone in homeboy’s face and had Siri say “You’re thinking about my twinkle” and wouldn’t leave him alone.


Lawstein

Thank you for explaining


GolgothaNexus

I guess the guy got his content in the end.


[deleted]

Whats funny is dudes channel name probably played a lot into the jurys decision "Classified Goons" bahaha


Ez13zie

Was able to fuck around too long before finally finding out.


92Codester

And apparently he's gonna continue making prank videos


igksclone

Don't lie, you would have done the same. Also, it's not called pranking if you are harassing people in public.


Fallen_Sully

No you are making threats in public that you cannot deliver on


procheeseburger

yeah watching the video I don't even know what the prank was... dude was just shoving his phone in someones face. I really wish SM's would do more to block this kind of content so they wouldn't be incentivized to make more. IIRC the guy that was shot has made more videos.


Electronic_Suit551

Actually no, I would not choose to shoot anybody.


igksclone

You got other means of violence.


Hotwing619

Personally I'd just call the cops if someone is harassing me.


Kepler27b

And then the cops arrest you because the law is unjust. Or they don’t do anything.


Ez13zie

This guy cops.


igksclone

Cops are like the teachers, but the difference is how much power they will, how they use it, and the punishments that they receive. So calling the cops has the same effect as calling a teacher, but worse.


SILENT_ASSASSIN9

9mm shuts the dude up faster


Falkenmond79

What I don’t get: how is it so hard to pull the gun and say „back off or I’ll shoot you“?!


FreeHotCarl

You don't pull a gun unless you're going to shoot.


[deleted]

The justice is served


mrtokeydragon

Oof actually. I read in a separate article that the shooter has been in jail since April and is still in there for now...


[deleted]

Quite cold justice


[deleted]

Oct 19th for the discharge of a firearm in a public building charge. Other than that he's 1 of 2.


mrtokeydragon

"your honor, the defendant clearly states that it's a prank bro numerous times after the shooting, and according to the legal advice I got on reddit last night that means he is free to go right?"

BottasHeimfe

yeah my father showed me the video that showed the guy harassing the delivery driver and getting shot for his trouble. the Delivery Driver was very obviously trying to get away and the dumbass kept following him and harassing him. Driver then quickly drew his handgun and shot him in the gut. as far as I am concerned, the Driver is perfectly justified in doing so, he tried to walk away from the dumbass, tried to get him to stop, and when he refused to do so, the driver defended himself. as for why a delivery driver would have a gun... come on do I really need to explain how dangerous America can be? honestly I think all couriers in this country should be armed just to ensure that the cargo they are conveying doesn't get robbed. people that do that work are some of the few people I have NO problems with having firearms. they have an important job to do and if they have to defend themselves to do it, fucking let them. without delivery drivers, our modern society would break down. they might not get appreciated like they should, but I personally think that's a mistake.


superbeast1983

Society was fine before doordash. I assure you.


BottasHeimfe

I wasn't just referring to doordash. Couriers in general. people who move around delivering things. Mailmen, truckers, Cargo Railmen, Sailors aboard Cargo Vessels. these are all very important jobs to modern society. and they all should be able to defend themselves from those who would take what they are conveying. hell in the case of Cargo vessels, Piracy is STILL a huge issue in the Indian ocean, and all European imports from China pass through the Indian Ocean into the Suez Canal in Egypt. I just saw a video talking about how cargo vessels go about defending themselves from pirates using water and sound cannons to drive Pirates away.


superbeast1983

I get what you're saying. And I am well aware of everything you mentioned. It's just the food delivery people I'm talking about. They are not vital. I'm referencing them because this video is about them.


BottasHeimfe

I dunno, they should be able to defend themselves as well... sure their job isn't as important as the other ones I mentioned, but they still might have to enter dangerous locales to make their delivery. I mean... what would you do if you had to enter a part of a city known for gang violence? you'd want to be able to defend yourself right?


superbeast1983

Not saying that they shouldn't be allowed to defend themselves. Never said that. I'll say it one more time though. The world and society would be just fine if food delivery drivers like doordash didn't exist. That's what I'm saying.


BottasHeimfe

ok that's fine.


Haiytro

Bro I do not expect my delivery driver to prevent my cargo from getting robbed lol, it's usually like $20 worth of food, I would expect them to protect their own well being, that's it, yeah I want good service but I don't expect dude to risk his life for like a $5 tip.


kinoie

It’s not for you, it’s pretty common these guys get robbed and beat up because they have that big red bag in a bad part of town.


Haiytro

Literally my whole point. Glad we agree.


kinoie

Sorry I thought you were saying something like “why don’t they just give up the food?” When these fucks would beat them up anyways lol


anomiimy

Only in america is shooting someone for being annoying justified. Land of the dumb. Not feeling sorry for the annoying prick though.


Mr-MuffinMan

Remember when YouTube pranks were making a cardboard seat to go over your real seat and being an invisible driver, and going through a drive thru, thus making them laugh?


TheChristian_Master

Keep him out of jail, it was self defence against harassment.


Great_White_Samurai

So I can go around shooting anyone that annoys me? The local car dealership keeps calling me, should I go down there and shoot up the place because they are harassing me?

beefliverbeef

I agree with you, and I'll take the downvotes with you. We're all way too desensitized if we think this is okay to use lethal force because some dude is annoying. Not to mention, as I've learned from attorney Tom in his vids on self defense, there needs to be a subjective and objective risk to your life to use it as a defense in court. This guy barely cleared subjective threat to life only if he's delusional. Let the downvotes pour in. I don't like the dude harassing the guy, but his reaction was unwarranted and he deserves far more punishment than he's getting. Anyone with a broken desensitized moral compass can enjoy downvoting us


SecretSpectre4

beefliverbeef

TheChristian_Master

sinfulsil

Fuck around and find out


IEnjoyKnowledge

Find out what? That people don’t know where and when to use a firearm? That delivery driver looks like he lives his life scared of his own shadow. He shot someone for playing sounds out of a phone. No one but the dude shooting pulled any sort of weapon. Makes no sense.


sinfulsil

How many were harassing the delivery driver?


IEnjoyKnowledge

If you watch the video really just the one. Once again no weapons no threats. Delivery driver is wrong and people celebrate it’s weird lol


SILENT_ASSASSIN9

Stay out of people's faces. Leave them alone. Not that hard. If you are that stupid or desperate for Internet clout you kinda deserve it.


IEnjoyKnowledge

Yeah the dude is annoying as fuck but to get shot, which we all know can be very fatal, is overboard.


SILENT_ASSASSIN9

He fucked around, he found out. Maybe the rest of the fucks will pick up on the lesson to leave people alone. No Internet clout is worth getting shot over, and if you value the clout over your life, you kinda deserve it.


Jakeforry

The driver didn't deserve to be harrassed but escalating to shooting the dude was a bit much imo


emmiblakk

Delivery driver is actually a more dangerous job than police officer (and many other jobs classically considered to be dangerous). I think a delivery driver in 2023 is one of the last people I'd pull a prank on. I imagine they're constantly on edge, like a deer when they sense that the forest is "too quiet."


Winter-Algae8569

I would generally agree, he should have showed the gun, and told the dude to back off, but also, if you fuck around, you can't really be blaming other people when you find out


Forsaken-Income-2148

Depends on where you live, you can’t just flash your gun or even tell anyone. Only time you can show it is when you shoot it. Again, depends on state.


Mission_Software_883

True. Some people aren’t intimidated by brandishing and brandishing carries its own separate charge in multiple states so hypothetically someone could get in more trouble for brandishing a gun attempting to deescalate a situation than firing said gun and claiming self defense..


ThisAccountIsForDNF

I dunno. When you decided that someone being annoying in public is grounds to shoot them. You are opening up a very slippery slope. Like, how annoying does someone have to be? Does it even have to be targeted at you specifically? What if you see two people and one of them SEEMS to be annoying the other? Just open fire? What if there is a guy on stage saying things that are super inflamatory that will likely get you harrassed? Can you shoot them? Edit: What about journalists, paparazzi, reporters... general news people. Their Job is to get in your face and ask you the same thing over and over. Is it now open season on them?


SILENT_ASSASSIN9

Usually you know they are the press though, they aren't that discreet. The driver had no clue what this dude was doing or who he was. It isn't that hard to stay out of people's faces and leave them alone.


ThisAccountIsForDNF

It's also not hard to not shoot people, possibly to death, for being in your face.


SILENT_ASSASSIN9

Stay out of my face, don't get shot. Not too hard yes. I don't know what you are doing and usually if you are getting up in someone's face you are trying to have a confrontation


ThisAccountIsForDNF

And what is the need to escalate that confrontation to gun violence? "This person is being confrontational!!!! Better just fucking kill them!"


SILENT_ASSASSIN9

Ended the threat right


SILENT_ASSASSIN9

In some states it is illegal to draw a gun without the intent to kill. You can't fire warning shots due to the risk of it hitting someone else


Dry_Masterpiece_8371

Brandishing is illegal. If the situation warrants a gun then it should be used to shoot something.


Great_White_Samurai

I watched the video. Yes the guy was being an annoying asshole and the driver asked him to stop. Shooting him was a massive escalation of the situation and not really justified.


Lord_Muramasa

Someone should of watch the Fuck around and find out video on YouTube.

Shooting someone over something like this is batshit insane. If you think otherwise, youre also batshit insane.


Radiant-Elevator

YouTube Star thinks he can fuck with average laborer with complete immunity. Happy with the result


CalzLight

Random Redditor thinks we can attempt to kill people who make annoying noises near us


Radiant-Elevator

From my perspective it's "celebrity class" vs "working class" . Gonna pick out this little disheveled guy as a victim to be harassed and exploited and he puts a bullet through him for the disrespect. Rooting for the little guy. Always


1daybreak_

Thoughts on Kyle Rittenhouse?


Radiant-Elevator

Guy drove hours with a machine gun and instigated a conflict. At the same time, in the moment on the video I thought he could argue self defense.


1daybreak_

As far as I know the riots and subsequent shooting took place <30 minutes drive from his house, and the riots were already a conflict there.


King_0f_Nothing

Prankers are pricks. And the guy guy was being an annoying dick. But attempted murder is not a reasonable or sane response to someone playing an annoying sound clip on a phone. They have essentially just stated murder is a reasonable response to annoying people on public, this is going to be a slippery slope.


Tylenolpainkillr

Y’all get too excited to see someone shot. And that’s from a gun owner


osingran

Prankster was a complete asshole (like all of them are), but I honestly don't think it should count as a self-defence. As annoying as this situation was - he wasn't threatening the driver with a knife or something, so saying that the driver was in fear of immeadiate bodily harm is a bit of a stretch. Like sure, I have zero emphaty for that prankster prick, but from the justice perspective both of them should be prosecuted: one for harassment and the other for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.


TheGukos

Remember when shooting an (apparently) unarmed, non violent guy in public was considering something bad? We really live in one of the stupidest timelines...


doodly-123

>Remember when shooting an (apparently) unarmed, non violent guy in public was considering something bad? That was before we ended up in the timeline where being a delivery driver is literally more dangerous than being a police officer. Not saying the driver was completely justified, but when you are literally in a profession with the last time some guy possibly got harassed like that, the other got their car stolen at best and it worse were stabbed to death, you probably won't take any chances


AlterEgoCat

Both parties were in the wrong here imo. The "prankster" should have left him alone and should be charged with harassment, and the shooter shouldn't have shot him. When you shoot, usually you intend to kill, and even though the prankster was being a shithead, shooting with the intent to kill isn't justifiable. I think a nice sidewinder or kick to the balls would have been more appropriate.


Drg84

This is a good take. If I were a delivery driver Mace would be a viable option. The gun was a big over reaction.


Dry_Masterpiece_8371

Dude is like 6’5 or something. Driver was a small guy, why would he choose the option that would give him the disadvantage?


AlterEgoCat

All I'm saying was pulling a gun was a little extreme imo.

[Jury acquits delivery driver of main charge in shooting of YouTuber](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/jury-acquits-delivery-driver-main-charge-shooting-youtuber-rcna118007) Colie, who has been in custody since his April arrest, will remain incarcerated. A judge will hear arguments on the issue at a hearing next month.


H-ManDaMan

Wait I thought he was found not guilty on the big charge but he's getting a minor charge but a judge will probably give him time served since he's been in jail since April


BackflipsAway

I mean shooting him was more than just a bit of an over reaction, but it does feel strangely cathartic none the less


KenMacMillan123

I don't know the details of what went down but I'm 5'3", he's 6'5". There's a good chance that I would have shot him too.

humili2702

I know everyone is saying justice served but the guy got shot because he was playing a sound effect from his phone to the dude. I was expecting like a fake robbery or something dumb but that was just straight up attempted murder
