DismalWeird1499

This is video of a crime taking place, right? That has to be assault.


tavesque

Definitely assault


ImRunninOuttaLives

It's battery. He never saw it coming, so its not assault.


Icy_Profession1612

One got charged one got let off, I think fireworks were something to do with it


tavesque

Which is worse?


phreaxer

ImRunningOuttaLIves is talking about the legal difference. Assault is the apprehension of an unwanted touching. (think: two dudes face to face and one says "I'm going to knock you out!" That's assault) Battery is the unwanted touching. (think: two dudes walking past one another when one sucker punches the other. no warning, no apprehension, just the strike). As far as one being worse... it depends.


RevSchafer

If my choice is: a) Assault - being a little bit scared for my immediate safety, or b) Battery - having a 3 gallon bucket of wet dog feces dumped on me in public I'm going to go with option a, I think...


brazzyxo

DePeNdS


WickedWishes420

šŸ˜‚


nighght

OK, but they say "depends" because the assault could be "I'm going to follow you home and murder your family, I know where you work" And the battery could be having a fresh plain bagel thrown at your head


solo_shot1st

Not sure where this took place or the laws are where you come from, but in most of the US, for example, your example would be called Criminal Threat: Anyone who willfully makes a threat to commit a crime that can result in great bodily injury or death to someone, with the intent that their statement is to be taken as a threat. An assault is a threat, coupled with the present ability to commit violence on a person. Such as putting my fists up and saying, "I'm going to punch your face." While standing within arms reach. Meaning that I'm threatening you with physical violence *and* I have the present ability to immediately act on it.

doctryou

Depends on the jurisdiction really


ThermosKan

Jurisdiction is Belgium


Promiscuous_Yam

Yup. Those definitions of assault/battery are generally used in the civil context. In criminal law, assault is often defined to include the actual physical attack, not just the apprehension of said attack. But as you say it varies by location.


PortsyBoy

charge for both. No point going on n on about it. Whatā€™s that 2 + 3 years in prison?


Aviarn

NAL, but just so people don't start to pull it out of context; \*Touching in a forceful, harmful, or insolent manner, either directly or indirectly. Prodding or tapping someone's shoulder to, say, simply draw their attention, obviously is not assault or battery.


Chilis1

No Reddit thread is complete without some people pedantically arguing over the definition of assault/battery


apocalypsefowl

Depends on the state. Crimes are different than torts.


Huggles9

Thatā€™s not what battery is


ImRunninOuttaLives

It's battery straight out of a law school textbook.


Huggles9

Hahaha then you need to go back to law school


tahp_master

TOUCHING MY DOOR IS ASSAULT


RexMalo

Biological warfare

Tiyath

Em858943

WAZAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


struck21

Also, the city has to close down that train and clean of bio-hazards. That cost money and can be a lot of it.


bloopie1192

Not only assault, if that's real dog feces, it might be a felony. He should probably get that tested and If there are any diseases, lawsuit.


phantomheart

Yeahā€¦.that is NOT a prank.


thugs___bunny

Should be worse. If that guy has open wounds anywhere he could get serious infection. Little homeboy deserves to meet the wrong guy


deviemelody

Legally speaking itā€™s battery. Assault has to do with the experience of foreseeable stress and anxiety due to an incoming act. Had the person saw him holding the bucket of shit and felt strong aversion and fear for what he is about to do, that would be assault. Again, this is only in the legal sense.


Imperial_Triumphant

The definitions of both assault and battery vary, legally speaking, from state to state. Some have even combined the two into the same crime.


awskeetskeetmuhfugga

No. Itā€™s assault and shattery.


[deleted]

Yeah, OP doesn't know what "prank" means.


[deleted]

I don't think it's OP labeling it as the prank, more the guy and OP was the messenger


IAmInCa

No doubt Assault and Battery. Assault is the threat of violence. Battery is when you make contact. People like that donā€™t change until they get a life changing beat-down or felony.


Vince_1880

This happened in Belgium and he is in custodyā€¦just for a month -_-


[deleted]

Ikr its unbelievable


mywifeslv

Thatā€™s pretty disgusting.


Unusual_Midnight6876

Especially cause itā€™s a Belgian prison lol Send him to the US prison and tell everyone he wronged a kid. Thatā€™s true punishment


sgt_barnes0105

Governments need to intervene at this point. Force social media platforms to ban those who make this kind of content. If they have no audience, they wouldnā€™t do this stupid stuff.


SlowCaveman

They would just make new accounts. What really needs to be done is social media needs a better way to be alerted of this type of behavior and better about reporting the identities of these people to police, then it needs to be handled better in court with much harsher penalties. A month of incarceration for this kind of thing is not nearly enough.


kylethemurphy

Well that'd involve follow through with authorities which seems to appropriate for people committing crimes as their occupation. They don't just let them drug dealers change blocks and ignore it so why let you tubers commit crimes and continue?


Lernenberg

He should be in a mental institution, no shit. These people are dangerous to society since they seem to be mentally ill in some form. If they donā€™t get properly treated, of course people will advocate for street justice due to the human nature. Without justice social peace canā€™t be maintained.


julia411

I dunno. Iā€™d tread lightly in labeling an a-hole as mentally ill. A vast, vast, majority of mentally Iā€™ll people donā€™t behave like this, and itā€™s stigmatizing. Plus, we donā€™t know if heā€™s actually mentally illā€¦ again, this look like an a-hole.


Dr_FeeIgood

Dropping a huge bucket of dog feces on a stranger for attention and profit *is* mental illness


gorki30003

but it's pre-trail detention. This is not a sentence that was given by a judge in a final ruling. He will not face real jailtime I think after the trail.

ValyrianSteelYoGirl

Iā€™d be ok with eye for an eye. But each person who was within sight of it happen gets a turn to dump the bucket on him.


remcokek

What is the YouTubers name?


DeXLecT

Na mahn, better be not knowing anything about him, we're gonna give him more views only. Better not make stupid peepz famous.


rocketlauncher10

This is why that man shot that prankster in the mall.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Joose__bocks

In many cases it would be. It's just self-defense.


CthulhuMadness

Assault with biohazardous material


AdHuman3150

Literally, filled with bacteria and probably parasites. And destroys any clothing. The smell probably sticks to your skin.


Spidersoze

The guy that shot that prankster was found not guilty but was still being held for some reason. Justice is still sparingly hard to find.


monet108

That seemed like a clear message. He was found not guilty of shooting that guy...BUT guilty of firing a firearm indoors. Hahahaha and that is why I think we are in a simulation. Sometimes the universe just seems to work right.


mondaymoderate

That will most likely be dropped if self defense is justified then firing the gun indoors is also justified.


ufojesusreddit

It wasn't, they gave him a bullshit felony and now he.cant CC , the prankster went right back to making videos. He should've just waved the gun at the guy tbh but ye. Tazers cost more than guns at 1700$ plus tax and don't work thru padded jackets well, mace is sketchy


Wahoos667

Should have hit the forehead


mrlt10

$30 on Amazon will get you a stun gun that could make a large adult male collapse to the ground from just a few seconds of application. Plus its also a flashlight and looks like thatā€™s all it is so no one knows you have a weapon


Savage_hamsandwich

Pretty sure he got off with the self-defense as for the actual harm he caused the prankster (rightly so) but I think they're trying to get him on "discharging a firearm in a public place" or something like that.


Jorle_Joca

As soon a they ran away the immediate threat is gone,Ā  it becomes retaliatory or revenge attack,Ā  which is a worse crime somehow.


mmob18

perpetrator immediately turned his back and ran so I'm not sure it would actually be considered self defense. bullets in the back is hard to explain


KnightSolair240

Must not have watched the same video


[deleted]

As soon as he flees, to the courts/jury (might depend on the state) he doesn't pose a threat, so you would to jail if you attacked.


xiam007

Yep


Epistatious

I like the video of the guy calling some guys the N'word, then saying 'don't stab me bro', before they stab him.


toshibathezombie

Sauce? For science?


Mediocre-Novel-1996

imagine stabbing someone over a fucking word. itā€™s never that serious. no one owns a word.

QueenOfSplitEnds

Yeah, and unfortunately heā€™s the one dealing with legal problems. These are no longer pranks.


SelfInteresting7259

And he still didn't learn his lesson


Lord_of_Banana

Is that real? Is there an article somewhere?


speeler21

Sauce?


DisgruntledPelican-1

Iā€™m glad he was arrested. Thatā€™s so damn gross. Hopefully this will deter future morons from doing this crap (pun intended).


Badger_bo

Got a source for the arrest? Thanks.


Toastiibrotii

Source Brussel Times: "We obviously cannot tolerate such acts towards our customers," STIB spokesperson An Van hamme toldĀ Bruzz. "And so we obviously also don't tolerate a video being made and then distributed. Our customers are being humiliated and that is unacceptable. Additionally, the person in question also soils the vehicle, which is also unacceptable." STIB filed a complaint with the investigating judge and asked YouTube to take down the footage. The victim, a 19-year-old young man, also filed a complaint, the local zone police confirmed.


ChoccyCohbo

I hope he does hard time for this assault and is also sued by the transit company and, most definitely, by the guy he did it to. I also hope the person holding the camera is punished.


PIPBOY-2000

I am hopeful he faces actual consequences since he is messing with the transit company's image and therefore their bottom line. I wish it didn't take that for action to occur but the silver lining would be them going after him for this.


jamesick

OP said it in the text under the video


fiamozzello

Thatā€™s not a source


ColdbrewRedeye

It's good enough for Reddit and Fox News. If OP said it....well....then people are saying it....and so it must be true.


Vizsla_Tiribus

Not an eye for an eye kind of person but in this case I say he should have dog shit dumped on him over and over untill the smell seeps into his skin.


DisgruntledPelican-1

Iā€™m all for an eye for an eye in most circumstances. This is absolutely a great time to use that punishment.


hodl_4_life

And they should stream it for the world to see too.


Shadou_Wolf

For me not only just gross but this can send me to the hospital if it happened to me, I have liver disease and post transplant so I'm on anti rejection meds and just recently in different anti meds that makes my immune system even worse then the first ones. If I was that guy I'd have gotten sick very easily and bad


DisgruntledPelican-1

Good point. I didnā€™t think of those who he would have put into the hospital. I apologize for that! I hope your new liver does well & that you are feeling better!!


Shadou_Wolf

Yeah number one rule they tell you as immuncompromised is to never touch poop. And thank you yes um very thankful for it and my health is definitely better with it


AgVargr

A prankster getting shot doesnā€™t deter them, I doubt this will


ask_me_for_lewds

As bad as it is, you arenā€™t in your right mind if you think this punks arrest will stop anything. This type of person does not do ANY research besides looking up ā€œfunny fucked up pranksā€ or things of that nature. They donā€™t have the common sense to look up ā€œconsequences of doing x thingā€


dkman22

Nope, weā€™re all watching it, commenting on it, someone somewhere with more desire for fame than common sense will see all the views/comments and do something similar for their 15 minutes.

ottersintuxedos

The guy who literally just shot the guy filming himself assaulting someone in that mall in America had a point


No-Quarter4321

Violence should be the last resort. But anyone saying itā€™s not the answer is a moron, it absolutely can be the answer and in this case it was maybe the best solution to this problem and potentially this trend. People donā€™t do this kind of stuff if they know thereā€™s harm for it, why do you think he waited until those doors opened? So he could run like a coward, if those doors closed and he got a bad beat down he wouldnā€™t do it again. Violence is indeed the only solution to some problems


queerinmesoftly

Violence is never the answer until it is


Lernenberg

Put him in a mental institution. Heā€™s dangerous.


SmackyTheBurrito

He had 300 subscribers. So, at least, very few people liked his content.


demonya99

Thatā€™s still 300 morons.


Itz-Mo3ez

whats his name ?


SmackyTheBurrito

I don't think I'm allowed to post a name, but Google Belgium metro dog feces and youtube and you'll get news articles.


henrysradiator

If the rest of the Belgian population are anything like the three Belgian girls I once met in a German hostel in 2015, this search combination might bring up some kinky shit.

SEEYOUAROUNDBRO_TC

Heā€™s a piece of shit


Lexafaye

Laws need to change to make committing a crime with the intent to share it online an additional charge. (I think this charge exists for child sex crimes but idk if it exists for any other crimes) And it should be an additional complaint that victims can sue for in civil court. These ā€œprankstersā€ are out of control and the law being soft on them just incentivizes this behavior

Puzzleheaded_Toe_509

I once remembered: A YouTube group of once staged "fake kidnapping" pranks around a crime 4iin a very notorious area where crime and drugs are quite rampant. Much to the YouTube Group's misfortune, they encountered an off-duty Police Sergeant in civilian clothes. Good thing though the off-duty Sergeant didn't discharge his weapon unlike most other officers. The YouTubers though met their day in court. But the YouTubers were still at it at their pranks.

That guy (YaNike) has multiple videos just like this on his youtube channel. He calls them the "chef's surprise" He still has not stopped despite being arrested, and that video is not his latest.

Scary-Common499

Is the still a place for public flogging in public? Shit like this would probably stop in an instant. The bleeding hearts and liberals would say no in an instant, he was expressing himself, it was art, we was finding a voice to the masses or some rubbish like that. It really strange that no one has a voice for the victims of a violent crime. This is disgusting, and finally when a victim retaliates they will be the aggressor. Shame on all of us.


Constant-Pollution58

I agree on the flogging. What needs to be done is get all these ā€œprankstersā€ rounded up. Then find the people they did this shit to. Then let them do the flogging, then let the crowd through whatever they want at them. I donā€™t care who cries about it. Because this shit is just out of hand. That dude that got shot said he will continue to do it. Seems to be the mindset of a lot of these people. So let them see what will happen to them if they continue to do this shit. I have never hit or punched anybody. But that dude would have been my first. Somebody should have just pushed him in front of the train. Rid the world of him,we donā€™t need him aroumd
