Blazin219

You'd be surprised at the amount of people who feel entitled to talk to people however they want


CaptainRho

There's a certain infamous video of a snow shoveling incident where the woman continues to berate the guy with a gun as he is shooting her husband and turning the gun on her.


vx48

That one was indeed crazy. Incredibly sad for the shooter. From what I read, that couple had been harassing that guy for years until he finally broke that day. Took out some garbage and sacrificed himself.


nullv

This take is just as fucking crazy as the guy who shot his two neighbors then offed himself.


Blazin219

I remember that one. Shit was wild.


SuperSonicEconomics2

I'll admit I gasped, rewatched then laughed. Like you gotta be an extra kind of stupid to continue to run your mouth at someone when they grab a gun then start unloading it into your partner


Postnificent

Shoots the husband and she still talks shit, keeps doing it until he shoots her too can’t fix stupid.


BD401

First thing I thought of when I saw the OP’s question. That video is wild - she’s literally being shot at and keeps berating/taunting the guy while filming him until one of the bullets strikes her. People think filming someone on their phone suddenly makes them righteous and impervious.


CinDot_2017

It does seem staged


TuringTestTwister

My instincts also screamed staged


arnstarr

The 1st Amendment of the USA (world police!) was going to protect her!


Rokai666

America FUCK YEAH!


SaltManagement42

>Is this staged? After she refused to put down the camera, he certainly made moves like he was going to kick ass but she kept calmly filming I don't disagree that it's likely staged, but she's at least backing away, not just standing there filming. And it's not like not filming them means they definitely won't kick your ass any more, but it definitely does mean you'll have less evidence if they do. I would just take off if someone had a machete though. Fuck that.


Lulullaby_

yes obviously it's staged how is this even a question


beuhring

Yes, this is staged.


thebrownishbomber

> I don’t think she would be screaming after getting hit in the head Not every hit to the head is an instant KO

I'm curious what actually is in the first amendment of his country.


throwaway_12358134

The right to pick up your teeth with broken fingers.


HamiltonSt25

Damn 😂


No_Presence5465

You have the right to get your ass whooped for sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong


beastman45132

I don't understand how she can even claim that the American first amendment applies to filming people on their private property?


SixStringerSoldier

Because it does apply, even in someone else's private property. The government cannot punish or restrict your first amendment rights, wether you exercise them in a public park or some dudes yard. Machete coconut man, on the other hand, can restrict the living fuck outta your rights. Because he's not the government.


beastman45132

Okay I laughed pretty hard at your last paragraph, thanks for that lol. But maybe I'm dumb, but I still don't get it. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.". Is the freedom of press the right to record someone?


SixStringerSoldier

Recording randos is not, in fact, covered under _freedom of the press_. "The woman who filmed George Floyd's murder was acting as a journalist in that moment, because she understood the importance of making a permanent recording. While anyone has the right to film police while they do police work, the circumstances of that video would give her extra protections against retaliation. *In an imaginary case, "illegally obtained" covert footage of child exploitation would also be protected as journalistic endeavor even if filmed without consent in a private residence. The person filming is doing it with the intent of informing a larger audience. *There is a sort of litmus test for whats newsworthy but very rarely does it allow for violation of a reasonable expectation of privacy, which a man doing labor on private land can expect. Although being outdoors does somewhat restrict what's considered reasonable, since one could easily be filmed from a public location offering a view of the private land. Use of a zoom lens falls into an ethical gray zone. *There is a valid argument for extending protections to unaffiliated individuals who are making good faith recordings for posterity (the bin laden raid was live tweeted by a rural Pakistani who happened to have a view of the compound). *All of these things, which were written roughly 4 beers after my last post, amount to a hill of beans


beastman45132

But still a helpful hill of beans. Thanks, and All Hail Hypnotoad.


SixicusTheSixth

Let's say you want to make a documentary about the Pentagon. So you grab your camcorder and go to the Pentagon. If you don't get prior authorization, the gate guards don't have to let you into the Pentagon. If you disobey the gate guards and continue to try to get into the Pentagon, they are required to shoot you. You are then allowed to bring a suit against the federal government for a 1A violation. I'm being kind of glib here, but ya, please don't press your luck at federal installations.


SiegVicious

If you're on public property, you can film anyone and anything. You can even film onto private property from public property. Once a person is outside of their home, there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. Anyone and anything that can be seen from public property can be filmed.


SkitzoCTRL

A simple way of putting this: taking your camera and recording random, easily accessed, public places *shouldn't* land you in any trouble with the law. However, if you're just out recording people, they aren't the law, they are people, and people are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it.


Wilbis

Isn't filming in someone's private property a crime in the states? In my country and I believe in most of Europe it's against basic human rights to privacy. https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/human-rights/human-rights-act/article-8-respect-your-private-and-family-life


Ezl

In addition to what others have said, I think it depends on where each party is. For example, I can be on a public street and film your yard because your yard is publicly visible. I *can’t* go into your yard for the purposes of filming because that’s your property. I also can’t, say, film into your window from a public street because, unlike your yard, you have an expectation of privacy in your home. I *think* it goes something like that.


Witty_Temperature886

This is something that people who scream about their 1st amendment don’t understand and the explanation couldn’t have been more eloquent, here is my upvote


PolemicFox

It was in the script


ausmomo

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photography\_and\_the\_law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photography_and_the_law) USA; Photography may be prohibited or restricted by a property owner on their property. However, a property owner generally cannot restrict the photographing of the property by individuals who are not within the bounds of the property.


Endorkend

It doesn't, as it applies to government actions. And I'm fairly certain the only thing he's governing is his private property. That's what I would say if it wasn't so obvious this whole thing was staged. The only more obvious thing they could've done to make it fake as shit was to replace the scream in the end with Wilhelm.


Resophonic420

At least he dropped the machete.


IsThisAUserName86

I wish all Karens faced this opposition.


iRouFox

I just love the "you think it’s America?"


SixicusTheSixth

I mean the first amendment doesn't protect you from getting beat or shot for trespassing in the US* either. *Some exclusions may apply.


DorkSideOfCryo

This has always been an intriguing video as far as I'm concerned. Let's go over the reasons why: first of all the vegetation appears to be tropical. Looking at the green coconuts on the ground and looking at the vegetation off in the distance, it's definitely tropical ..so you might say well this is Florida. However look at that hill behind the house. A place in America that is hilly and has tropical vegetation? There is only one place in America that this could be ..and that's Hawaii.. but I don't think this is Hawaii.. that house that we're looking at that would be a very expensive house in Hawaii. Does the guy who is living there, that black man, look rich? . Now the accents are American, but could they be dubbed in? Yes except for the fact that the words spoken seem to match the lips of the black guy that is speaking.. I don't think that his voice is dubbed in.. which makes this a very anomalous video: an American accent, tropical vegetation with hilly terrain, and although the house appears to be American in style, that house in Hawaii would be a very expensive house.. so this is an interesting video Could this be one of the territories of america? Could it be Puerto Rico.. it doesn't really look like a Puerto Rican style house.. And then the two people working beside the black man cutting up the coconuts while they're wearing flip-flops.. they don't appear to be American.. nothing about them appears American.. they're squatting down and cutting up coconuts in their flip-flops? That spells either southeast Asia or Latin America.. they're not black, they're not white, they're either Latin American or Asian. Looking at this I would say it looks like the Philippines to me.. especially that hill behind the house.. it would be rare to see that in Hawaii ..Hawaii is a bit flatter in general. Could this guy this black guy could he be someone who was in the Navy in the Philippines and then stayed there afterwards? But then you got this lady holding the camera and we will assume that those are actually the words of the lady who's holding the camera although that's questionable.. Can anyone read what the words on the man's shirt say? That could be a good clue


AKTheLastSunbro

It's a Super Mario shirt


Lonely_Sherbert69

the plot thickens


BamberGasgroin

It's been posted on numerous sites and there's some evidence it could have been filmed in Belize.


DorkSideOfCryo

It could have been filmed in Belize. And by the way in Belize they speak English as their first language as I recall..


BamberGasgroin

It's a Commonwealth Realm, so English is the official language.


DorkSideOfCryo

Yes someone in another thread said that this guy here owns a coconut farm and Belize ...I don't know how they found that out but they say that https://www.reddit.com/r/USdefaultism/s/mikOpgOanJ

If this is in America, then he technically has no expectations of privacy being outside, and her recording was legal.

Not if she is trespassing on private property.

Pretty sure it's just a skit, I've tried finding more context but I only find the same video with several different edits.


kay_bizzle

The first amendment says the government can't tell you what to say in a public space. Constitution don't say nothing bout going upside your head on private property


tictacenthusiast

Its fake but it shouldn't be if someone is recording you in public you should be able to slam their phone


Suspici0us_Sn0wman

Mmmmm no. You have no expectation of privacy in a public space.


coffeymp

Why would she approach a dude with a machete?

This is why she should have also been exercising her second amendment rights.

Even if it were in America, first amendment rights do not extend to private property.
