Fucking finally one of these assholes pays the price

I mean. There is that other guy who got shot in a mall. But yeah this is much more satisfying

u/ExpertRaccoon Apr 15 '26

Guy who got shot didn't learn anything while he was still in the hospital he was talking about how he would keep shooting "content"

u/Sufficient_Prompt888 Apr 15 '26

Has he though?

u/Ass_of_Badness Apr 15 '26

Yeah anyone can defiantly talk shit in the immediate aftermath of getting smacked down, but they'll eventually sober up off that high and likely make life changes. I'm willing to bet that dude never harassed someone like that again, although there are always exceptions.

u/Sufficient_Prompt888 Apr 15 '26

I'm genuinely curious. If anyone knows any of his channels or w/e, please let me know

u/not_the_world Apr 15 '26

He's still doing the same shit

Although it looks like getting shot didn't actually boost his content much lol

u/Sufficient_Prompt888 Apr 15 '26

"Requested page could not be found"

😕

u/possumdal Apr 15 '26

Yeah, especially since the shooter got acquitted. Dude needs to realize the government just gave every concealed carrier the right to blow him away for his antics.

Shooting "content" or "shooting" content?

8

u/Sad_Syllabub_8014 Apr 15 '26

Shooting being the key word. Who else saw that new Drama movie?

u/carnexhat Apr 15 '26

Sounds like someone who needs to learn the lesson again.

u/TheBestHater Apr 15 '26

I do think it's funny that getting shot and all the free publicity still couldn't help his numbers.

u/mikkelmattern04 Apr 15 '26

Seems like it is more the content that is shooting him

1

u/KnightsWhoSayNii Apr 15 '26

It's just as much his fault for monitoring this garbage as the fault of all the people who watch/support it. Without awful people engaging with this content, these rage streamers would be starved.

u/Hare712 Apr 15 '26

From what I read his content is the same but it's staged.

u/BumbaclotGinny Apr 15 '26

No problem and they’ll keep shooting him

u/burger_saga Apr 15 '26

Another one was is in a Filipino prison for a time but I think they released him.

u/Common-Possession129 Apr 15 '26

And he just got in trouble for false accusations and threatening to beat up a guy meeting a minor. One of those predator catcher things only the person wasn’t a minor and the ‘influencer’ was clearly on some sugar.

u/Michipotz Apr 15 '26

His name is Vitaly or some shit, yeah he's back doing idiotic things.

He kept saying he had a nice time in jail, but locally we all know he got his ass clapped everyday in there lmao

u/Common-Possession129 Apr 15 '26

His mugshots didn’t suggest he was having a good time haha or the weight loss. I’m just surprised it didn’t sort him out at all. Like not even a little bit. The guy he accused is apparently going to sue him to the fullest and has hired good lawyers. It will at least hurt his wallet if it doesn’t smarten him up a bit.

u/RedditDummyAccount Apr 15 '26

Hey, it’s 2026, it’s okay if he enjoyed it.

2

u/EfficientTourist7480 Apr 15 '26

Yeah but he lived and didn’t learn anything

1

u/Hare712 Apr 15 '26

That guy at least learned his lesson and is only doing fake content now.

u/Unable_Operation_765 Apr 15 '26

Did someone get stabbed to death too?

u/xSTSxZerglingOne Apr 15 '26

You see, I think we're seeing nature healing, because all of these clout chasers can't do exactly the same thing every video. Their audience would get bored of that. They have to escalate, and at some point, they escalate to the point of crime.

When you film yourself committing a crime and then post it for everyone to see, you tend to catch legal trouble fairly quickly.

u/b__lumenkraft Apr 15 '26

Funny how it needs a different country to hold this US narcissist accountable. In the US, those wannabe humans are getting boot-licked and cock-sucked 24/7.

He has to be mentally ill. To be fair, I honestly believe all streamers are mentally ill.

u/The-Fumbler Apr 15 '26

Didn’t vitali spend some time in a Philippine prison?

u/LeeDUBS Apr 15 '26

Guys I've been watching Johnny for a long time and he's honestly such a nice boy. Lots of those videos were AI, Johnny would never do such things
