I agree with the author. This is 'Terroristic Threatening'.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

The police would have come to the scene, seen the mask and the fake rifle, and concluded it was a robbery attempt... not a prank.

Bunch of idiots. They come down to Guntucky and pull this crap? Somebody will hose these dimwits with lead. They’re lucky they got out of there not looking like Swiss cheese.

[jazusamo]

Idiots, plain and simple. It’s a miracle he wasn’t blown away.

The comments on the youtube video itself are interesting.

[bigbob]

prolly a set-up aimed at boosting his pathetic Youtube videos, note how he wasn’t quite shaken-up enough to forget to plug his channel.

Still, a damn good way to end it if you’re too chicken for suicide.

Scene starts around 1:30 if anyone wants to skip the rest of the stupidity.

I would’ve started firing. I was in a defensive discharge situation 10 years ago, and I still have nightmares. This is so far outside of the realm of acceptable behavior. You might be able to get away with this in states where people are prohibited from carrying, but walking about with a mask and a fake carbine would get people ventilated in most parts of the south.

It also probably qualifies as assault with a deadly weapon (the fact it was fake is irrelevant), a serious felony.

This is a story to be bookmarked.

Remember that there is a generation of fools raised on such dreck as MTV’s ‘Jackass’ and ‘Punk’d’, and SyFy’s ‘Scare Tactics’.

And websites like Worldstarhiphop, that feature public brawls guarantee that real idiots will start fights just so that their friends can camera video them for their one minute of Internet fame.

If he did that to an off duty cop he would have been dead.

[PAR35]

Guy needs to sell his gun. If he wasn’t willing to use it in that circumstance, he’s never going to be willing to use it. He’s just not suited to carry.

[piytar]

I’d have shot the fool. Instantly.

What an idiot.

[Slings and Arrows]

If I had been carrying, I would have shot.

[DoughtyOne]

Prank my ass...

That’s a death wish!

This was a seriously moronic idea. He’s lucky to be alive.

[TigersEye]

I’ve seen other stupid “prank” videos that easily could have resulted in the prankster being justifiably shot. They didn’t even have weapons but their threatening behavior towards people on a dark street would have been enough.

I might well have drawn and fired, especially were I with my family. A suicidally outlandish “prank.”

[Leep]

Am i wrong or did this idiot tell the authorities where to find him?
