USC sues YouTubers pair over 'classroom takeover pranks'
FoxLA ^ | April 11, 2022

Posted on 04/13/2022 1:39:02 PM PDT by BenLurkin

The lawsuit alleges that Ernest Kanevsky and Yugo Bai stormed into USC classrooms and lecture halls on at least three occasions and taking over classrooms in elaborate fashion, all for the purposes of posting the scenes and classroom reactions to the pair's YouTube channels. According to the lawsuit, the classroom takeovers are suggested by their channel subscribers as dares.

USC says neither has ever been enrolled as a student at the university.

The most recent takeover according to the suit, happened on March 29, when the two allegedly interrupted a lecture on the Holocaust in the university's Mark Taper Hall. According to the lawsuit, the two simulated a "Russian Mafia shakedown," causing students to run from the classroom, leaving backpacks and bags behind.

Kanevsky and Bai were later detained at gunpoint trying to run from the lecture hall, according to court papers.

In two other instances outlined in court documents, Kanevsky and Bai, as well as other unidentified associates allegedly took over classrooms dressed as characters from Netflix's "Squid Game" in one case, and accosted a class' professor and students in another.

Apparently they don't have rich parents who can bribe the nice people at USC.

Some children refuse to grow up. A severe caning might work wonders.

Good way to get shot dead. Some armed kid gets antsy and thinks the guys is for real. That would it for him.

USC is in South-Central Los Angeles and the surrounding residential neighborhoods are infested with gangs, so many students probably are packing.

I took many classes in that building, known at the time as Founders' Hall--and some of us old timers still use that name.

Didn’t some idiots in Australia or someplace get shot dead throwing a knapsack and shouting something about a snack bar?

“Good way to get shot dead. Some armed kid gets antsy and thinks the guys is for real. That would it for him.”

USC students are armed with their parents’ expensive lawyers and their law firms.

They don’t need any other weapons.

The demise of the social media/influencer fad cannot come soon enough.

How many have been arrested for storming lecture halls when a conservative speaker is scheduled?
