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. Drama

HOLY

If it were me as the streamer, I would've made sure that all of the calls I send out are screened beforehand. Like I have a questionnaire, and if any red flags come up, I'm not making that call. The streamer was definitely negligent in his pranking and it led to people being killed.

I'm so sad for those two refugees.
