A jury has found a delivery driver not guilty in the shooting of a YouTube prankster who was following him around a mall food court earlier this year

    Reading the article it seems they found that he acted in self defense but still got him on a weapons charge which is being appealed.

        He is being rewarded by youtube and his subs for that behavior. Which is especially messed up given youtube demonitizes videos for saying shit and fuck but not the harassment and stalking this guy does.

          I reported his channel for harassment way back when this all started and I know a bunch of other people did too. So glad YouTube cares…

            Youtube won’t care unless/until it becomes too expensive to ignore

        Its a serious problem in our entire criminal justice system. Trump is the post child for the inequality. Charged with 91 felonies and walking around doing as he pleases. Meanwhile this poor guy has been locked up for months without a trial, and may get off with no jail time but he’s in jail anyway.

        Not sure how. Concealed carry is you carry a concealed weapon. This dude pulled his out, banged it out in the food court on a YouTuber, that’s open carry. 😆

    • I don’t see which weapons charge he was convicted on, or who is appealing. Sounds like there may be inconsistent verdicts. I teresting to see how post verdict motions go.

      It doesn’t sound like he was in physical danger but if someone was doing that to me I’d certainly feel like shooting them.
