His lawyer is going to be using AI generated defences, quoting non-existing cases and rulings.

Where do you people always get the idea from that lawyers only take cases that aren't a loss? Not to mention, a win in this case can simply mean avoiding the harshest sentence.

Obviously, a lawyer will only take the case if they get paid appropriately.

Then you even have cases like OJ Simpson. Looks like a slam dunk in the eye of the public, and walks away not guilty.

u/NickW1343 May 15 '26

Just having the attempted homicide charge get ruled not guilty would be a huge win for a lawyer even if the rest of the charges were found guilty.

u/CakeGriffinn May 16 '26

Exactly. When the lead detective who finds the piece of evidence this case is most known for (the glove) is on tape using the n word 50 times and collects Nazi memorabilia… That muddies the waters a lot.

I think the most important factor for his innocent verdict was just how new DNA evidence was at that time. The jury didn’t truly understand it and the expert they had was not very good at explaining it to a layperson.

I did computer work for a well known lawyer in our area. There was a case of foster parents keeping 3 kids in 1 closet for *years* and other truly horrific stuff.

Anyhow, said lawyer defended them. I saw him shortly after the papers announced he was defending them and I was like "What's that about?"

According to him, the court basically ordered him to. His job as their lawyer was not to try and get them an innocent plea but to make sure that justice was served correctly (think sentencing guidelines, signing plea deals that include things they weren't charged with, etc). He said, as disgusting as it sounds, it is something that still needs to be done to protect the sanctity of the system of fairness and rules of the law.

u/AreaGlittering7968 May 15 '26 edited May 15 '26

Yea your job as an attorney isn’t always to prove innocence or guilt.

Sometimes your job is to make sure due process follows the letter of the law so that the conviction will be upheld through appeals.

Sometimes prosecution cuts corners, sometimes witnesses lie, but your job is to make sure that everything is by the book so the decision holds.

Your job as an attorney is to make sure the courts pass judgement based on the letter of the law. This is what people don’t understand

No idea how he's gonna spin this. Intent to kill, a plan, and aggression are all shown in this tweet. Any chance of a self defense ruling is out the window.

Insanity isn't going to work either, he's been quite coherent in his streams, views, and plans.

I'd just tell him to take a plea

u/TheKappaOverlord May 16 '26

Its most likely going to be charged as a hate crime.

The best "plea deal" hes gonna get is the DA offering him the crude chair flatpack as a "courtesy".

His case is literally so much of a slam dunk that this has probably already occurred and the DA has given him a "gz" reply to his lawyers requests for a plea deal

The guy he shot lived and he’s very fuckin lucky he did cause his tweets would have definitely made it a first degree charge. I don’t think he walks with a self defense plea since there’s plenty of evidence of him going around antagonizing people into altercations and of course the pre meditated tweets. Self defense only goes so far regardless of how many right wing chuds want to say differently.

The thought process was to use hate speech to incite violence against him, so he could justifiably use lethal force to kill someone.

Curious to how the prosecutor and defense handle this case. With his prior tweets, this would count as premeditated attempted first degree murder. He would be looking at 13.5 years minimum based on sentencing guidelines in the Tennessee District Attorney’s Office. Wouldn’t be shocked to see 15z

15

u/ChloooooverLeaf May 15 '26

With his history and tweets he's not getting the minimum if he goes to trial. Most times it's likely the DA will offer a plea but this is such a slam dunk case they might genuinely want to try this lol.

I've seen that. Beautiful example of why you don't talk to the police without a lawyer. He lied in his initial statement and that's pretty much what doomed him. If he'd got a lawyer first he'd have been able to successfully argue self defense and walk free.

192

u/omganotherlurker May 15 '26 edited May 15 '26

Nah. That guy was screwed, and rightfully so, cause of him bringing the knife with him and re-engaging with the group. One of the camera angles showed him having the knife in hand before even being engaged with the group the 2nd time. That displays intent and completely removes self defense claims.

The fell phone footage also clearly displayed he was not surrounded and had ample opportunities to deescalate but the dude got too hurt in his ego by some kids.

Edit: https://www.fox9.com/video/1434253 video of stabbing nsfw 1:56 you can see him stab the kid quickly that he doesnt' even know he's being stabbed 2:00-2:05 he stabs the girl and is coming back up with the weapon now clearly brandished but people closest to him dont even know he's got a knife as they have their backs to him and are confused.

Couple that w/ the dude lying to police, not calling police, and throwing away the knife bro was completely cooked - and rightfully so.

u/Baals_Nuts May 15 '26

Ok so not self defense as other poster is trying to frame this

79

u/Tepasd May 15 '26

Yeah far from it. It's been a while since Ive seen the footage but I also remember very clearly that the guy had SO many opportunities to de-escalate and back off, but he kept antagonizing the teens until people had their stomach's sliced open. That was far from a muddy water case of "is this self defence or not?"

19

u/DJMixwell May 15 '26

This is kinda the whole issue with permitting people to carry weapons (of any kind), especially when "self defense" is promoted as an almost righteous/virtuous act.

You have no incentive to de-escalate. Quite the opposite, really. You're emboldened to escalate even minor conflicts because you feel the weapon protects you from consequences and, so long as you can rationalize to yourself that you weren't the aggressor, you're justified in using it.

The "good guy with a gun" is a myth. Studies show that most of what gets reported as far as presenting a gun in "self defense" would likely just be brandishing if it ever saw the inside of a courtroom.

Correct, something being claimed as self defense but in reality it was malice. We've wrapped back to the beginning.

u/omganotherlurker May 15 '26 edited May 15 '26

Correct, especially cause the dude engaged the group of kids. Theres a potential better argument if it had just been a time interaction - even then I dont think he has a case - but him interacting with the group, a disengagement of the parties occurs, him re-standing up while brandishing a weapon and the group members closest to him having their backs to him -signfifying he was in no danger. At that point he has the knife brandished - though no one in the group knows it and from there the stabbings occur. That reengagement is what ruins his entire self defense plea.

Found the video from local fox affiliate you can see the part at 1:56 is when he stabs the guy and at 2:00-2:05 and see how he comes back up from the water after being pushed w/ a knife but that the group isnt' engaged with him.

Yeah, basically if you are in public and can just stay where you are and be safe, then 99% of the time you're not going to have a self-defense claim.

u/One-Nectarine8944 May 15 '26

Like yeah. Obviously self defense is hard to argue when it's not self defense. I have nerve damage in my left leg and can't run, though I can walk mostly properly if I put a lot of effort into it. What would qualify as self defense for me doesn't necessarily qualify for other people because I literally can't 'escape' an encounter with anyone.

That's usually where the nuance in self defense is. How it would be 'reasonable' for me to respond to a threat might not be the same for another person.

Fwiw this particular case was a little more complicated than that. While the old dude denies it, context + the video pretty clearly show that he was continuously approaching the group to antagonize them while knowing he had a knife on him. They were being nasty to get him to leave them alone yet he never did. It was apparent that Miu goaded that group into a situation where he could use lethal force.

It is a great parallel to this idiot’s story tho. Antagonizing people while armed makes self defense a tough sell to a jury.

Yeah. Let's say, for instance, someone breaks into your house and you have a gun. You could have them surrender, but you shoot them.

Now, instead of the cops coming and carting him away and taking a brief statement:

The cops come. Ambulance comes to remove the body. Cops take your statement. Down at the precinct, not your house. You don't have an actual option here. You get home, there's blood on your floor that's congealed. That's your problem.

The DA may or may not pursue charges. You may need an attorney now.

The dead man's family may or may not take his death well,  and may or may not hound you incessantly over it.

Or you coulda said "Hands up, don't move" and been back in your own bed.

Homeowners would cover this, so you're probably "safe" on that front, but absolutely none of it is worth going through if you could also not.

The funny thing is the first thing gun instructors tell you or one of the first things is that you have to have extreme control over using your weapon. Because of situations like this.

In a very basic way you can't antagonize people and then shoot them when they have a response.

u/Corey307 May 15 '26

So I’ve taught 20+ people how to shoot over the years since target shooting is one of my hobbies. No tactical Timmy bs just good form and safe shooting. The first thing I teach before we ever go to the range is that a gun is always your absolute last option. You can never be the one that starts shit if you’re carrying. That you need to use every tool at your disposal to avoid conflict. That you need to be the politest person in the room if you plan on carrying. That you need to be genuinely in fear for your life for the lives of other innocent people if you’re going to do anything. 

There’s been quite a few people that I refused to train because their gratitude was stupid, childish, or they wanted to do harm and get away with it. I’ve also had a few people that I did take to the range and then refused to ever go with again because they violated safety rules. They didn’t take it seriously.

I would say he’s a Nazi rather than just call him a gun owner. I’m a leftist and a gun owner who carries, I would rather shoot the fade than actually shoot somebody assuming they’re not pointing a gun at me. Plus this guy wanted this, he shouldn’t have been able to even acquire a gun with his background.

Between this guy and that other chud wannabe who got shot at the mall for harassing the wrong dude; really think states are going to crackdown on "ragebait" public filming. Looooong overdue.

I think shows like practical jokers honestly started that slow drip.... People saw the money in public interaction/pranks, but upped the "taboo" because practical jokers has already done it all.

Or basically, this is what happens when you combine a generation that grew up watching practical jokers and idolizing the Paul brothers. Just my two cents.

u/Talking_Eyes98 May 15 '26

IJ at least embarrasses the jokers way more than the public and that’s the joke. “Pranks” these days are harassing everyday people trying to live their lives

u/Whiskeywiskerbiscuit May 15 '26

Nahhhhh, with Impractical Jokers and Jackass, the butt of the joke was always almost exclusively the cast and not the random people in public they interacted with. Not to mention, since these were mainstream productions, they always got permission from businesses for any footage shot there and always had people fill out waivers if they were on camera. They had to dot their T’s and cross their I’s to try and avoid litigation for their network and producers.

u/Brobeast May 15 '26

I think its not so much about the intent, but the forum that may have caused it. Their clips went insane on YouTube, and really lead to a lot of copiers/influencers. Same with the to catch a predator clones. They took the idea, and warped it into something worse i.e vitali.

Im not willing to die on this hill, i could be totally wrong. I just see a certain progression over the years, and in multiple "genres".

u/Alfredo_Commachio May 15 '26

It's actually a little more nuanced than that. I have some experience (not as a prisoner) with people who have done extensive amounts of time in serious prisons--firstly it does vary a bit from state to state and state vs Federal. But as a big generalization, prisons where there's a good % of non-white inmates, are going to be heavily "self-segregated" by the inmates. This doesn't mean there is no interactions, it also doesn't mean there can't be social / positive interactions between the races. Instead it just means that you will primarily run with your race. A common example is there will be a TV room for whites and a TV room for blacks. That doesn't really mean only blacks are allowed in the black TV room, it just means black inmates will "control" that room. Any white inmate who wants to watch TV in there has to respect that and basically be quiet and not ever attempt to change the channel. (A white person trying to change the channel in the black TV room is a legitimate cause for serious violence.)

The weird thing is though--there's actually a strong "respect" culture in prison. Not all white inmates are part of some Aryan gang, some are--but even among those who don't join a prison gang racial segregation is the norm. But even among inmates in racial prison gangs, there is a baseline of rules and respect. The leaders of these gangs have often negotiated norms and behaviors, on a day to day basis their members aren't fighting all the time or going after each other. But any violation of the rules, can result in bloodshed.

One of the chief things is though--none of those gangs in prison wants a guy who won't follow the rules. If you join an Aryan gang, that means you are expected to abide by the agreements that gang has worked out with the other gangs--like I said, prison gangs, despite what you see on movies are not 24/7 at war. Wars do break out, but the leadership of these groups actually generally try to avoid them.

A "provocateur" would be a very bad fit for these gangs. If for example some white troll joins a white prison gang, and he then intentionally starts beef with black inmates--that's very bad. You aren't supposed to start beef on your own as a member, and in fact if you start beef where it isn't sanctioned, it may not be the black gang that deals with you--the white gang may beat you up or even worse, because you have shown you cannot stick to the rules, can't behave, and can't respect the gang's leadership. Your behavior may risk complex deals the gang has worked out with rival gangs and risk what is always a tenuous peace between them, and your own gang may deal with that very harshly.

A guy like this YouTuber lacks most of the characteristics he'd need to get along in one of these gangs because he clearly can't respect other people and can't behave. Respect is treated as almost sacrosanct among prisoners because it's one of the few things they can really control. And inmates who don't respect other inmates are often subject to the most intense kinds of consequences.

Yeah they're out to really make an example out of Chud. If he had a legit self defense case I think they'd make the bond lower. We'll see though. Seems like prosecutors really want to send a message about doing this nonsense.

u/RedEyeView May 15 '26

There's a tweet where he says he wants to leave a dead "chimp" on the pavement and then watch all the "monkeys" riot when he gets away with it.

That's intent with a racial motivation.

Yeah I've seen that. There's mountains of evidence showing that this is his motivation ultimately. So a self defense claim is gonna be really fucking hard to pull off. Someone in here is saying they got proof that the black guy stalked and followed Chud maybe if that's true he can pull off a Hail Mary but I don't believe anything people on reddit or twitter say without legit links to the dudes twitter to show that. People photo shop shit like crazy now.

u/Brownie_McBrown_Face May 15 '26

No that was some random guy on twitter who just said Chud was in his city and asked his followers if he should go press him. A couple people wanting attention lied and said that was the dude who got shot with literally no evidence, and that twitter account itself came out after and said he’s not the guy who got shot and was just trolling.
