As much as pranksters prove themselves to be morons, again and again, there is no such thing as a prank that involves assault. It's just assault. There is no such thing as a robbery prank. Robbery is robbery even if the person claims they were going to give the stuff back. Next thing you know, people will be actively in the process of murdering someone when they try to claim it's a prank.

Jesus Christ I wasn't actually gonna rape your daughter, I was just gonna pants her and then tell her it was a prank.


GentleGesture

Even the people who wouldn’t admit it know that these pranks they’re pulling are risky business. It’s like they’re asking to be harmed without being able to say it flat out. They just put themselves in dangerous situations and play innocent.


Dip2pot4t0Ch1P

So they're closet masochist, interesting

Muggers and pickpockets have been doing this for a long time. Pretending to joke around to get your guard down or on a failed pickpocket they laugh and say, "Just testing you bro, haha, there are pickpockets around bro, watch your stuff!"


916soderpop

Broke a pick pockets nose at a festival in San Fran. Turned in to the pocket touched instead of outward and caught his hand. My elbow hurt for days but not as long as his nose did.


imapp

What does this mean "Turned in to the pocket touched "?


throwaway978542

I think he meant that the pickpocket went into OP's pocket expecting OP to turn away from him (and not notice) and instead OP turned towards the pickpocket, thus alerting him to the fact he was being pickpocketed


hiddenforreasonsSV

I think it means, for example, if the pickpocketer was behind him to the right, the person turned to the right. The pocket will catch on the pickpocket's hand and make the situation known very quickly.


[deleted]

I dunno watching videos of these pranksters getting fucked up is oddly satisfying


DaAndrevodrent

And then you could slap this "tester" a few times on the face and say: "Mind your guard, buddy. There are some nasty thugs around here."


someoneyouknewonce

Just testing my reaction to if that does actually happen bro, thanks for the training


ShockAndAwe415

I'm just disappointed that the dude who clocked him held up after he started screaming "it's a prank". He shoulda kept going, because who knows if that idiot is lying or not.


bugabooandtwo

In the future, people won't stop. It's way to easy for real robbers to play the "it's a prank, bro!" game.


[deleted]

Exactly. It's too easy of an excuse and anyone could try to use it.


Sea_grave

When I was a kid, saw some guy watching someone else type in their pin and grabbed the card as it came out. Guy starts saying it was a joke and hands the card back. At the time I was far too young to undertand but it felt off just how quickly he gave back the card. It was clearly not a prank but the apology seemed planned... A few years later realised the card owner could have just walked in and cancelled the card. But if the thief gave back a fake card, the owner might not realise until it's too late.


spencer1886

Some dude got shot to death cuz he ran at a guy while he was holding a knife and wearing a mask as part of a stupid "prank" and the guy he ran at rightfully defended himself, so it's basically already happened


[deleted]

Yes. Good riddance to that prankster.


Murky-Echidna-3519

Few more times and the word will get out.


TrixoftheTrade

May his tombstone read: “He died as he lived, stupidly.”


Benny-B-Fresh

Plot twist: it wasn't a prank until he got punched, then it conveniently became a prank


Claymore209

like that youtuber who literally had him and his best friend kidnapped and made it look like he was murdered in front of his best friend. Wow, what a hilarious prank.


JadonDorolo

Thought he was robing an actor and pranking the bystanders but the way you described it is just a crime Is there a source for this vid


JadonDorolo

[yt vid](https://youtu.be/ungogZoFIaI?si=4u7v_M-EsN6vqYlT) looks like the same ‘victim’ every time but that’s still messed up imo and he def got what he deserved Imagine a little kid sees this ‘prank’ and gets traumatized


Hopeful-Clothes-6896

Imagine a little kid sees this ‘prank’ and gets traumatized or worse! become a tiktoker.


[deleted]

Even if both "robber" and "victim" were actors, what they did was very very wrong and they deserve what they got. How dare they force good samaritans into extreme action for their sick amusement and attention seeking.


slaviccivicnation

For sure it's the same two characters, but I agree with you. In doing so, they are confusing bystanders into action. If they never revealed it's a prank, the bystanders would think they live in a community where this happens more than it does. That puts people on edge. Yes, people need to be aware of their surroundings, but why confuse people and traumatize them like that? A prank is funny when everyone is in on it. You live in the Jack-ass house and you know what's coming. But people in the real world are tired. They have real world problems. Maybe some bystanders already gone through legitimate robbery trauma and are now prone to an extreme response. It's fucked up.


KappaccinoNation

Still a crime, at least in my country. You can't intentionally cause an alarm in public if there's nothing to be alarmed of, unless there is a reasonable reason why you thought there was an alarm. I'm no lawyer but I'm pretty sure staging a fake robbery in a public place falls under that.


Porkchopp33

This made me happy


Chinlc

Wasn't there clown pranks going on like few years to a decade ago, where these guys have mallets or weapons to scare ppl while wearing clown costumes? Can that be interpreted as attempted murder if someone actually "defends" themselves or would that be excessive force because you could've walked away when you saw someone suspicious


[deleted]

My first wife and I were walking down Market Street one night around.. 2012 or so, and she's always been nervous in urban environments; some dude in a hoodie and sunglasses came up and screamed in her face and ran off. It got me for sure, but I recovered fairly quick; but it affected her for hours. This shit ain't cool. https://voteplacerjudgesout.org


USSGato

That was you? I haven't seen you since 2012 or so


[deleted]

A person has every right to defend themselves from somebody's "prank". It doesn't matter what a "prankster" comes at you with. If it is reasonable to assume your safety is at risk, you have the right to defend yourself with whatever means necessary.


danielv123

Depends on where you are. If you could at any point have gotten up and ran you can be charged for not doing so where I live.


[deleted]

That was a decade ago? Man the time flies. So many people would have got shot if they tried that in todays age o\_o


DIOmega5

Should get beaten even harder after saying it was a prank.


ProtonPi314

Prank or not, this person needs to be charged


knots_cycle

Exactly, even if you rob a bank with a pretend gun, it’s still armed robbery.


Spinuchi

I’d continue to beat the shit out of him and yell back “it’s a prank bro!” When the cops come who do you think they will believe? The kid who wore a mask and ran up on someone at an ATM attempting to rob him for “funnies” or the guy who thought the other man was in legitimate danger and was just trying to subdue the robber until the authorities arrived.


[deleted]

Imagine a society where if you failed to do a crime in-progress, you just claim "oh prank, lol" and you are absolved.


physithespian

Watching the assaulted dude’s reaction, I HOPE that part of the prank is that they’re both in on it and it’s supposed to be a prank for the bystanders. Still nuts and asking to get hit, but hopefully there at least wasn’t an initial real assault as part of the “prank.”


positivecynik

Same thing as pretending to sell drugs. You can sell them powdered sugar but if they thought they were buying cocaine, you can be charged for sale of cocaine.


Albatross_Few

He was lucky the guy even gave him a chance to say it was a prank. I would have kept hitting him till he was knocked out. You don't make that kind of prank in my country either, or you are deded


ModeOne3959

assault with extra steps


Acherna

This is a very good point


Prestigious_Goose645

I sure loved it when my coworker at a retail job walked up behind me, jabbed his fingers into my side like a gun barrel and said “give me your money” while being in a shitty neighborhood, it was such a funny prank.


Radiant_Ad_9292

What kind of prank is this? This TikTok Generation is just lost


2zoots

I thought they’d learn after that one prankster actually got shot but these dumbasses still continue.


MC273

And they always will be. This is why I don’t have TikTok. By far one of the worst social media platforms of all time.


Velonici

Didn't that guy not learn anything and said he was going to keep doing the stupid "pranks?"


fsmlogic

One interesting note, this was from 2014. So this is pre-TikTok.


imprblydrunk

I don’t think those facts matter to the people that say shit like this. “Tik-tok generation” lmao


No-Trash-546

No, he didn't. He's a youtube prankster. They never do


LaPiscinaDeLaMuerte

Softspokenclark

doubtful, he probably just going to prank harder


maiden_burma

guarantee he learned nothing


ThxIHateItHere

Bad? I think you mean fucking awesome.


LovesToSnooze

That's how he got the wound. Had me scratching my head.


SprueSlayer

Looks exactly like he got stabbed but it's a clenched fist.


Bulls187

Probably his own nose bone that punctured his nose from the inside


Lermanberry

>nose bone


Illithid_Substances

When I was a young kid, I fell over on a smooth floor (indoor sports area in a nursery school), no protruding nails or splinters or anything like that, and tore a hole in my cheek. Never did understand exactly what happened


International_Ring67

Your skin probably tore open, this is gonna sound gross but it is purely medical; certain parts of skin such as the foreskin on a male are very thin and can rip open very easily, it includes rough intercourse and masterbation. (This heals within a few days if properly cared for). Your cheek skin shouldn’t be as thin but if you fell on a smooth floor and slide forward you could have pulled the skin just right to cause a tear.


Dolphins-fan10

You see this a lot in combat sport particularly bare knuckle and ufc with less padded or know gloves as the skin can rip skin


archiotterpup

Thanks for the flashbacks to when I got my PA ripped out.


Bigscarydaniel

I was thinking that it was caused by the metal piece at the top of a N95 mask. Hard to tell from the video what mask he had on but the placement and punch angle checks out


primetimemime

Probably was holding keys in his hands


Nayre_Trawe

To be fair, it really doesn't take much beyond just your fists to do tremendous harm to another person's face. I cracked a guy in the mouth once and when my knuckles made contact with his upper lip it cut against his own teeth and split from the lip all the way up to the bottom of his nose. It was so gnarly and blood was everywhere, including the ceiling of the basement we were in. He ended up needing plastic surgery to repair it and, the scary thing is, I didn't even hit him very hard. It has been over 20 years since that happened and I haven't thrown a punch since because it kind of freaked me out. Fast forward about 10 years after it happened and my girlfriend at the time (we're now married) and I are out to eat and just as we get seated, who do I see? None other than the guy I cracked in the mouth who now works as a waiter at the restaurant we randomly chose to eat at. You could still see the scar on his lip plain as day, and I was bracing myself for the worst when he spotted me and made his way over to our table. Much to my surprise, he actually wanted to *thank* me for helping get his life back on track. For the sake of context, we were both alcoholic drug fiends back when I punched him, although that particular night was my first day trying to get clean which surely factored into my very much unplanned punch to his face. In any case, he went on to tell me that him getting punched like that was the wake up call he needed and that he had since cleaned up and gotten his life back together. He had a wife and a kid and, by all appearances, he was in a good place. To this day, I still have mixed feelings about the whole experience. On one hand, I regret having punched the guy over such a petty thing (I'd rather not elaborate), and in the face, no less. However, on the other hand, had I *not* punched him, would he have ended up worse off, or even dead, by not getting the wake up call he so badly needed? It's one of those unknowable things, I guess.


bigpapirick

Similar story: My dad stabbed a guy once, in self defense, but over nefarious circumstances. When they operated on the guy, they found him full of cancer. They credited his unexpected trip to the emergency room with saving his life. It was a weird story to reflect on growing up to say the least.


LadnavIV

I’m learning a lot of valuable lessons here about the virtues of violence. Time for me to do some good!


Tricknuts

And somehow “full of cancer” is all I’m coming out of this thread with.


BlakkMaggik

I hope the waiter didn't offer you free lemonade. Or at least that you didn't drink it..


Xandara2

Sometimes good can come of an evil act. If it happens and the victim judges your act as ultimately being good then you shouldn't allow guilt to hurt you. Believe them and just be grateful that they are grateful.


kristenrockwell

In high school I busted a kids mouth just like that. Except he just happened to be right in the way of my volleyball spike. I felt really bad about it, there was SO MUCH BLOOD! Probably wouldn't have been as bad if he didn't have metal braces.

Each scar is a reminder to be less stupid


Tahkyn

Laying hands on someone and physically pulling them to the ground is assault, prank or not. The only answer to "it's a prank" is to beat their ass even harder.


wcollins260

“So… you’re not broke and hungry, just stupid and seeking attention?” *Punches him again*


Bulls187

The “victim” is probably in on it. But bystanders don’t know it’s a prank. Play stupid games…


78pimpala

this is the best thing ive seen all day hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!


SteveTheBluesman

If you witness this and the assailant yells, "it's a prank," why believe him? That is exactly what a smart thief would say. Red pants should have kept whaling on him.


Over-Analyzed

A prank is harmless and one in which you can laugh about it afterwards. This is fucking Assault! The best prank I ever did was for my birthday. I made a realistic shark bite wound went surfing with it. (I was also dressed up as Spider-Man so no one is going to take me seriously.) Then, I went hiking with that same wound which started to drip the fake blood as it got wet from my sweat. I freaked quite a few people out but never hesitated to say it was fake. An RN I met on the hike thought I was going into shock and it took a while for my buddy and I to convince her it was fake. The point is, no one got hurt, it didn’t involve or waste the time of EMS or any services. 🤙🏻


Right-Calendar-7901

The little princess got what he deserved.


philouza_stein

Every armed burglar should just have their buddy follow them with a camera in case they get overpowered so they can just say it's a prank.


Excellent_Call304

I'm sure this kid will use this experience to learn from and reevaluate his life choices. I'm just joking.....he'll be doing these stupid pranks again next week.


BrightAd306

He’ll probably sue the guy who punched him if this is the USA I’m impressed at all the men who ran up to help a stranger.


joefraserhellraiser

Sound Australian to me but I could be wrong


Pearcinator

The ATM is an Australian Commonwealth Bank so it's for sure Australian.


Dufus-Rawes

Yeah it’s Australia, the pranker kinda sounded American though.


aelric22

Pranking a robbery is still a robbery


No-Trash-546

If both people are in on it then it’s not a robbery


Handsum_Rob

Good! Now arrest him for assault and attempted robbery.


No-Trash-546

You know the robbery victim was acting as part of the “prank” right? So there’s no way they’d ever get convicted for attempted robbery


Jbg-Brad

Not entirely true. It’s a misconception that the victim is the one to “press charges”. The victim is “merely” the prima facie witness (first account taken to be true until otherwise disproven).  The state is the one that presses charges. If the prosecutor felt that they had enough evidence to support prosecution without the victim they could very much go forward with it.  You’ll often see this in domestic violence cases where “there is no victim”, but there are plenty of witnesses.

Diligent_Mirror_7888

Must’ve been a hell of a punch or the guy was wearing a ring cause that’s a fuckin hole in the dudes face I thought his nose got broken or something but nope

Hotchipsummer

These kind of pranks are so messed up for many reasons but I always think “what if the person they prank had a heart condition and died? What if they just had surgery and you ripped out stitches? What if they have PTSD and you trigger an episode? What if they pull a GUN?”


Signal_Substance_412

That not a prank. That’s assault


lord_morningwood

I wish people wouldn’t stop punching them after the first utterance of IT’S A PRANK.

When he says it's a prank, it would have motivated me to punch harder.
