There is no justification for the presence of the gun in the scenario as described. From my pov that is. Most of the world does not consider gun rights/ownership the way you do and thus to most of us, a random (innocent) person on the streets does not carry a loaded, fire-ready gun and thus could not shoot anyone with one.

Thus the victim should not have died.

Maybe because you don't live in a nation where you have people armed with knives and other deadly weapons -- most of which are being illegally carried -- running around your streets. The murder rate in the Netherlands (iirc that's where you're from, if I'm wrong feel free to provide your nation's number) is 0.59. In the US it's 4.96. You don't view self-defense as a necessity because you live in a safe-as-fuck nation where you don't need self-defense. You have the luxury of not believing in self-defense because you don't need self-defense.

Lil_Bit83 posted... Ehh, its not YouTube's fault that dumb people do dumb things, anymore then its the tv's fault for covering a story about some moron getting hurt/killed for doing dumb things.

If YT wasn't already policing its content, I might agree. That's no longer the case, though. However, more broadly, when you're either profiting from illegal activities or facilitating profit from illegal activities, you can get in trouble. And even the media can be held to account at times for covering content (particularly when it comes to libel), there's no blanket protection for covering or hosting something.

Most of them had the sense not to walk up and directly threaten people, although the cops were called on at least some of them.

I suppose the stuff stolen are given back after but that's about it.

Better for someone to die because they were doing something stupid, than to die because they were unlucky enough when someone else was doing something stupid.

If you think you can get away with the money, nothing.
If it looks like the police are on their way, "it was just a prank, bro!"

I was smart enough not to click on it, ok?
Was hoping someone less wise would post the text of the article for the smart people to read, since by that point their computer has the 'rona anyway.

If this was a youtube prank wouldn't it have been filmed? I doubt law enforcement would have many issues determining what happened there if thats the case.

When will people learn that stupid things like knockout challenges and butcher knife robbery attempts aren't pranks?
When people stop celebrating their vileness by giving them attention.

Knives being carried by youths has been a recent problem, but that aside. I agree it is a cultural thing, but argueing the reasons in favour of and against carrying a gun in that context, just turns into a chicken and egg tale.

My response of he should not have died, comes from the ideal that no-one should have need for a gun public.

He wouldn't have died if he didn't threaten somebody with a knife.

Edit: the article states he and a friend aporached random people at night while swinging around big knives.

That's downright horrible and a literal crime. Dumbasses.

Lack of critical thinking skills. I suppose there is a chance the video would contain something that may make things less straight forward but at this point there is really no point to playing devils advocate.
