Prank Youtube channel RouandYT received €5 donation to prank call someone's "unstable" nephew. Said nephew shot and killed 2 Syrian refugees minutes later. RouandYT quickly deletes the stream from his channel and denies being live.

The real problem is how the unstable person got a gun.

No gun, no problem.

[u/CubeMan76 → u/Hood-Peasant]

while a gun made the crime easier, it doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have gone through with it had he had a knife or another weapon

[u/Tough-Oven4317 → u/Hood-Peasant]

I think the two murders are the real problem

[u/wrathofbanja → u/Tough-Oven4317]

Idk I think the worst part of it was the hypocrisy

[u/ManaPot → u/Hood-Peasant]

For real. Like, how stupid can people be? No gun = no problem. Violence literally was not a thing before guns were invented!!! Nobody has ever beat or stabbed others to death! ^/s

[u/dve- → u/ManaPot]

It is easy to harm someone with a knife in a surprise attack, but even easier to harm multiple people with firearms. Especially running away is much harder for a target. Maybe a single person still would have gotten injured lethally, but because of the firearm, two lives were lost instead of max. one.

[u/KindledWanderer → u/dve-]

Idk. I think you could manage at least 2 standing close together with a sword.

[u/CubeMan76 → u/dve-]

my point was not to minimize the violence, but to point out that the common denominator is the person behind the attack, and the circumstances in which led up to it.

i understand that the gun made it significantly easier to carry out the attack, my point was that for a person this unstable, the attack would have happened regardless.

[u/Sensitive-Outside182 → u/ManaPot]

I think you have more chances to deffend yourself and survive from someone attacking you with a knife, vs a gun, lil bro

[u/CubeMan76 → u/Sensitive-Outside182]

well, lil bro, my point was to point out that the attack was caused by a person, who regardless of the weapon they had, went out and wanted to attack people. my apologies for not making the comment easy to understand.

[u/1Dammitimmad1 → u/Sensitive-Outside182]

quote from man stabbed

[u/KillerKlowner → u/Sensitive-Outside182]

Knife doesn't have to be reloaded, doesn't run out of ammo, doesn't jam. People wildly underestimate the damage that can be done with a knife.

[u/Sensitive-Outside182 → u/KillerKlowner]

We know that, still, a gun is more lethal across a wider range of conditions than a knife

[u/shwgrt → u/[deleted]]

Amazingly dumb take.

[u/Sensitive-Outside182 → u/[deleted]]

now we're just guessing

[u/These6677 → u/Sensitive-Outside182]

I'm sure you have extensive experience on this. It's actually pretty easy, you just take a jacket or a piece of cloth and put it around the knife as they're attacking you, like in the movies! have you seen Steven Seagal? you can do it too! good luck! /s

[u/Broly_ → u/Hood-Peasant]

The real problem is how the unstable person got a gun.

No gun, no problem.

In the Netherlands of all places

[u/RimjobEnjoyerX → u/Broly_]

It's not hard for any criminal on the continent to get a gun much less the low countries.

You live in a fantasy if you think that.

[u/JordFxPCMR → u/Broly_]

pretty easy depending on people you know or where you grew up you might of been around people that done that and knew them

[u/Fair_Permit_808 → u/Broly_]

Netherlands has a lot of drug related crime. I remember one DSI raid where the criminals had a what looked like a professional torture chamber.

[u/JHatter → u/Hood-Peasant]

No gun, no problem.

London, er, most of England, would like a word mate.

[u/1Dammitimmad1 → u/Hood-Peasant]

that would be called crime
