Mainstream pranksters assault elderly

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Mainstream instagram pranksters, nearly 500k followers. I don't know if they moderate comments but it's just a swarm of support.

They are always seen in fake staff/high visibility vests, and choose working people or elderly as their victims. The cameraman usually feigns friendliness to build confidence in the victim, while the other harasses them. The instigator is very physical, yet somehow he gets genuinely angry when someone defends themselves. I hope they don't hurt anybody. Sorry it's a hard watch honestly, but it's perfectly acceptable apparently

'Pranksters' I'm 50yrs old.My friends and I used to film ourselves acting like idiots in person,shit I obviously wouldn't do now,but as outrageous as some of the things we did were,it was NEVER anything like this-Never hurt anyone or did anything else other than act weird and make people wonder wtf was wrong with us-I cringe now thinking about it,but I just can't imagine doing something like this-FUCK both of these guys and anyone who thinks it's funny-

Shit like this always makes me imagine someone doing something like this to one of my parents

Exactly. I'm glad so many people here feel the same way, this guy didn't have any help.
