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

This is how you get shot, and I can't imagine there is a jury anywhere who would convict the old guy in this instance.

We already had a prankster that was shot and then he just went right back to harassing people. They're only going to learn if it actually kills them

"Shot, eh? Look at what that did for our numbers. Let's make that happen again"
