Social media pranks are all the rage - scaring people and other fun hi-jinks played on the unsuspecting. Many such have left us shaking our heads that such actions are going to lead to someone doing such antics getting shot sooner or later.
The pranks often are safely executed in locales where the unsuspecting scare-ees are unlikely or unable to be carrying weapons or be inclined to violently defend themselves from the scare-ers. But, one Youtuber just managed to commit such an act of stupidity where armed citizens happen to be not so rare to come across.
With rather predictable results.
FoxNews: Tennessee man, 20, shot dead during YouTube prank robbery: cops
In short, the prankster, along with a fellow accomplice, approached a person not in on the joke with drawn knives and acted like they were attempting to rob him and his friends as a prank. This ended with the prankster assuming ambient temperature after being shot.
The prankster wasn't the victim here. Instead it was the law-abiding citizen being forced to shoot the dumb schmuck who both assaulted him and made him justifiably believe he was facing a deadly threat requiring him to react with deadly force.
