Old man stuns a prankster for doing something to his Lambo

a reply to: lonegurkha

so if two yahoos "appeared" to be coiling one out on the hood of your car you would not take it
as a threat?

Seriously!

a reply to: lonegurkha

Not being a lawyer, I am unsure of whether or not the pranksters actions to the mans automobile constitute an "assault." I'm not trying to be funny, I think this could be construed that way...any lawyers know?

Kinda makes the voltage an act of self defense.

No why should I? I certainly wouldn't take a chance on killing them with a taser. Does he taser a bird who poops on the car?

a reply to: lonegurkha

Its the classic situation of two wrongs don't make a right. vandalism vs assualt

a reply to: American-philosopher

Ya, better idea would be to call the cops.

a reply to: lonegurkha

wow just wow ok so by you logic peeing up your front door is equally acceptable behaviour then yes?

a reply to: lonegurkha

A better idea is to not mess with strangers or you might get hurt...

a reply to: American-philosopher

is the right answer (in this case)

a reply to: lonegurkha

True enough, that is the appropriate response

a reply to: ShayneJUK

I would let my dog handle that.

I can call off the dog before he removes the offending body part. Can't recall the taser now can you?

Most disturbing thing for me was people's comments in youtube trash talking about that old man. Its really really scary when a bunch of stupid people gather. I literally got the chills as this kind of gave me some insights of when dealing with large group of people in general.

Jealousy is one factor too/ But the other things that mix and the people supporting thes "GOOD PRANKSTERS" was appalling to me. I see people talking there as if taser was some WMD. They are saying all kind of disturbing stuff. One comment with 1500+ upvotes systemically describes to follow him to his home, harass, show s**t and to taser him. It even says to remove the pins as police may track it.

I am really shocked and i was always helping people who are less fortunate than me. Also i am still just start up business but growing steadily. I was thinking a lot of time how to help people when i have more money. I realise how it must feel to be hated by people like this. And i too will be hated if decades of hardwork puts me in a good place in future and people do stuff like this to what i earned by my work. Most wont put up with this kind of thing being done to their stuff.

People keep talking about the taser.... What if the Old man died by heart attack? Ofcourse the pranksters would scram and delete the video ASAP. I mean this is not a intelligent point i'm talking about. Most can probably see that. I am okay with people hating politicians and people who only steal and get rich. But is it that much a sin to be just rich? People totatlly ignoring the old man's view. Lot of things still going on in my mind. But it was good i saw this. I had a strong belief people will always know justice, meaning i just inherently believed. Also some thing happenned to me personally while trying to help out a person yesterday. Both these serve as a lesson to me.

This post left a bad taste. But thanks OP. Even though i still am feeling head ache from this, I am glad i saw this and i got to understand people in general. Especially mobs. Sorry for if there are confusing sentences and grammatical errors. English is my third language only. So forgive me.

Regards ATSers

A dog is considered a lethal weapon if its trained to attack. Congrats you just committed assault.

An assualt requires one to feel threatened, clearly this guy had no fear, hence h wasnt assaulted.

In the uk that device would be illegal, and he would quite rightly have been arrested! He should have called the cops, not become judge jury and executioner!

And if the dog is defending his territory and is not trained to attack ....what then? If he is called off before the offender is touched then no assault occurred.

Am I the only one that sees this as staged fake prank?

I typed a long comment but backtracked cause of an connection error. Thank you. Your comment helped a lot for reasons known only to me. As it is straying too much offtopic, i would just say thank you for your opinion that old man should be arrested. Judge,jury,executioner part was good too. Keep up the rhyming and timing.

ciao

While the old man went too far and at least deserves some sort of punishment/fine, I don't have anything resembling sympathy for the edgy little boys.
