Can we just take a minute to all agree that the “what pretending to be crazy looks like” has snowballed into everyone getting recommended all of his other videos and thus watching them all ?

No I watched that video because I've been watching this chanel for a long time. Like with most videos I watch🤷♂

Why did you say this in such a confusing way

Why did you say this in such a confusing way

So it's not just me!  I've been watching them in a random order, and this is one of the last ones.  I hope JCS has some more content coming, his better videos are amazing!

@PackApunchV1 I hope that isn’t the message but I’m not so sure personally I too find it irritating when others adopt something I felt attached to in an obscure personal level. That being said I’m glad that JCS is getting so much more attention on a video “pretending to be crazy” (which I consider not his best work but one of) and hope that it encourages him to narrate more of these videos as more people watch his content

@Water is wet you’re telling me you don’t want JCS to grow as a youtube channel and expand his audience?

@Samir Dončić Not this video. The guy's channel has a recent video about people who do try to pretend to be crazy and apparently a lot of us had it suggested to us and ended up watching all the channels videos.

I like how everybody got recommended “what pretending to be crazy looks like” and now we can’t stop watching this videos 😂

@Geno I saw a community post, I believe, maybe 2 days ago that said many more are to come and much more frequently. I think YT is pushing the channel bc it's about to change into a more regular upload kind of thing

That is exactly my situation. And now I'm rewatching them all bc I was laughing so hard at Stephanie the sociopath and her ridiculous facial expressions that my family became curious so now we're just binging them all on tv.

@Hypogonadism problem in US is the 450 million guns in circulation, the army 3% of that...there's literally nothing they could do to fix that problem unless they completely ban them for 150 years or however long it would take for them to rust...but that is like banning alcohol, it won't work and cause more problems than it solves...in america, anyway. So imo their situation is hopeless.

@Some Dude and what abt all the other instances of his road rage and aggression ??? Drejka already had underlying issues to begin with.

@Some Dude why does he feel like it’s his responsibility to patrol a handicapped parking spot in the first place??? If he would’ve minded his own business to begin with he wouldn’t have been pushed down. People need to take accountability for things that they start.

@Nafi n What an ignorant comment. "It's perfectly acceptable that this guy shot and killed someone after he went out of his way to be aggressive.

@Some Dude Aggression was Michael's first step.

@Miller Time “what if”‘s are meaningless in this case Bc a character in this “what if” situation is dead. Michael was a pussy that saw a black man, & personally didn’t know how to fight, so he hit the unarmed victim w the only weapon he had on him. As the term goes “you don’t bring a gun to a knife fight”.

@SpookyActionAtADistance it doesn’t matter. Michael made the choice to kill a man over a god damn push. He should keep his calm, knowing he’s a gun owner, & de-escalate if he had genuine intention of just getting abled people out of a disabled parking spot.

@Bullshit Department Shoving and pushing is normal here in Norway aswell. One simply doesnt need a deadly weapon to protect us against a fucking push.

@Bullshit Department Shoving and pushing is normal here in Norway aswell. One simply doesnt need a deadly weapon to protect us against a fucking push.

@Abel Jacobo You really think a man who defended his wife deserved to die? So you don't think Drejka deserved to be in jail at least? I mean, even before this he was going around intimidating people with his weapon (one of which was a pregnant lady). He is a wannabe cop who goes around bosting with his gun to feel superior, but in reality he's just a coward eager to use his gun for any reason whatsoever.

@Luke Callahan Verbally arguing is not illegal or injurious, no matter how dumb or in poor taste it was. That argument is dead in the water.

@Hypogonadism in russia we do it without guns. Nice and simple

@Hypogonadism in russia we do it without guns. Nice and simple

@Hypogonadism Knowing Drejka, it is most important not to engage with him.  You avoid people like this.  But if you choose to engage, you must assume he is armed and act accordingly.  Shoot first, then ask questions later.  That's how it was when I stayed in Miami.

As for people making out Marquise as the aggressor, well, he's was a Black man.  Some people here do not like Black people and will villainize them no matter what.  It's clear he was defending his family.  Drejka is the aggressor.

@Abel Jacobo so you’re saying a guy deserves to be murdered in front of his wife and kids because he pushed him? I understand a fight breaking out, but shooting a feller?

@Hypogonadism No. If he stepped forward, threatening etc it would have been attempted assault (which can result in murder) by definition

@Hypogonadism No. If he stepped forward, threatening etc it would have been attempted assault (which can result in murder) by definition

@Maria Santos One could even argue, that knowing who Drejka is, knowing he had a gun, it was more important to push him away from his family. This was literally an armed lunatic, who picked a fight with his wife and kid, acting aggresive, shouting at them

I find it incredibly strange, that anyone would try make it out as if the dude who got shot, was the aggressor. Thats my only objection.

@Abel Jacobo You can't shoot someone as revenge over a push.  It's not reasonable force.

@Some Dude facts....anyone who gets physical gets killed now a days....it's  natural to defend yourselves when physically attacked

@Some Dude facts....anyone who gets physical gets killed now a days....it's  natural to defend yourselves when physically attacked

@Hypogonadism I understand the reason.  He was protecting his family.  It's a natural reaction.  I can see many other men doing the same.  However, it's not the best option.  The reason why, as you have stated, is you don't know what kind of person you are dealing with.  As you can see in Drejka's case, he has a history of creating conflict.  Before the shooting, he had drawn his gun on at least 3 people.  2 times during road rage incidents, and one over the very same parking spot.  His only means to defend himself is his gun.  It is his first resort.  And, it is what emboldens him to confront people.  This is why pushing the guy is not a wise idea.  If you must get physical with him, the correct thing to do would have been to kill him.  10 years sentence for manslaughter, 5 years with good behavior.

@Dekoto some random man approached his girlfriend hostile over a parking sticker which was none of his business anyway, he had every right to push him and im sad he did not get to beat his face in

@Nafi n  Uncalled for to bring something like that up when it has nothing to do with this innocent man who died infront of his son. Come on man, at least set aside your hate in moments like these and reserve it for BLM posts or something.

@Maria Santos Sure. He underestimated how big of a lunatic Drejka was. But he was well within reason to push him out of the way. As Drejka was the aggressor, picking a fight with his wife and kid.

@Piero Fasulli Drejka had no business walking up to the car, being a threat towards a woman in the car with her child, screaming and instigating a fight.

And it doesnt matter if the dead man stepped back or not. He could have stepped forwards, screaming at Drejka, and he still would be murdered if Drejka pulled a gun and shot him. American society is truly pathetic.

He lost his life for parking like an asshole and attacking a person. Maybe his kids will grow up to not attack people... they might use their words.🤷♂

@Sabrason doesn't matter much to the police, honestly if you call saying you got pushed after an argument, the most they'll do is put it on a record and tell you to stop getting into arguments with strangers

@Chris Phillips all these what ifs. the man has a pattern of behaviour that led to this moment lol

@Hypogonadism Do you have any idea of how many people die by hitting their head in the concrete?<br>Drejka was in the right until before he shoot. This is obvious to everyone who saw the footage and the case was handled correctly. Since the aggressor was clearly stepping back, Drejka had no business to shoot his guns, but he had thousands of reasons to draw it

@kameisha4eva2 let me ask you this. What if a police officer was thrown on the ground like that, do you think he would be justified in shooting? The answer is yes, yes he would. So why are most people treating this situation differently? Are officers lives worth more than micheals or yours or mine? The answer to that is no!

@kameisha4eva2 haha... wow... none of that matters. He was violently pushed down and had no idea what was coming next. I don't care what he did in the past, it has no bearing on the assault that was inflicted on him in that parking lot. Even if he wished for this situation every day it doesn't matter.

@Sabrason if the cops do shit, sure lol. But most of the time they won't personal experience

@Sabrason if the cops do shit, sure lol. But most of the time they won't personal experience

@Chris Phillips lol the past is the past. This is something he goes around doing. He does not have any type of authority not to mention he has pulled his gun on others including women and children. They were 100% wrong for parking there. The father had no right to push him either. But you cant ignore the fact that this is a reoccurrence lol he goes around literally looking for this type of shit. Im curious as to what made him pull his gun on the women and children prior...

@Twoozy Uzi No excuse.  Drejka did nothing illegal before the push.  McG committed assault by pushing = illegal.

@Twoozy Uzi No excuse.  Drejka did nothing illegal before the push.  McG committed assault by pushing = illegal.

@kameisha4eva2 I understand that but the past is the past. We are talking about the events that happened in this situation. Are you saying that because he did that in the past that he is no longer allowed to defend himself when the situation arises? I don't know you or what you have done in the past but I would want you to defend yourself if you needed to.

@Chris Phillips did you not hear that this guy had harrassed other people with a gun in the past including another woman with her kids in the car? did they all push him too?

Shouldn't have parked in that handicap spot then eh?

@SpookyActionAtADistance It was a light shove. You can tell by the video. There was very little force behind it. A normal person would be able to balance against it but for some reason this guy fell over.

@SpookyActionAtADistance Have you never seen the way adults interrupt people when others get into an argument with a loved one? Shoving is a common thing because the person yelling at your wife or child isn't going to listen when you say, "hey stop that". All their attention is directed at the person they are yelling at.

@SpookyActionAtADistance Ah yes, because lightly shoving someone to get them to stop harassing your wife and kids justifies murder.<br>I'm starting to think the people in this comment section have a very low value for human life if a pacifying move from someone who was clearly not intending on hurting the dude justifies his death.

On the plus side, the kids are so young that they likely won't remember. I think its kind of noble that the man's last instinct was to run to his kid in the store. I can tell by that act that he's a much better person than this arrogant parking lot cop.

Is it really terrible?? Would it be equally as "terrible" knowing that the kids were being raised by such arrogant, entitled and violent people such as their parents? Do you even consider that option? If you violently push or touch someone then in reality you forfeit your right to life and you should be ready for consequences. You do not know what kind of person you are pushing or punching! If people would keep their hands off of each other then maybe the world would be that much better!

@Hypogonadism Pushing someone so they fall down on a hard surface is even more dangerous than punching. It is not a rational action, it is assault, it can be deadly and it is inexcusable. If you act like an asshole like the guy who got shot, you sooner or later piss of the wrong people. Shooting him was overkill of course but this aggressive behavior is something that is simply not acceptable as a first resort without any warning.

@Hugh Mongous Not punching. Pushing. He simply pushed someone being up in his girlfriends face, out of the way. Wich is a rational action, when an aggressive dude is acting threatening towards a woman in the car.

I know, right? One of the few times the father is still around and then he gets shot for punching somebody.

As much as I agree that this was excessive (guy thinks he's some kind of police officer after duty and is clearly a wannabe superhero), you have to say that maybe they shouldn't have parked on a handicapped only spot and maybe the guy should first ask 'hey, what's going on?' instead of attacking him right away?

@Miller Time he was yelling arguing with his wife with his kids near, also the victim didn't have a gun and didn't tackle him so don't bring what if's that changes the whole situation

Bro he literally got pushed down for nothing and sprained his arm maybe shooting was bad but at that point you can’t blame he if he didn’t shoot what if that guy tackled and shot him

@SpookyActionAtADistance while technically illegal, I think pushing someone down and then back up isn't that bad. Bad sure but nothing you should go to jail for yknow? Like when two drunks get in a fight, illegal sure but if no one is badly beaten, I'm not calling the cops

@Some Dude yea but everything is based on personal experience yknow? And we know is Michael's experience of no fights so I have to guess the victim's. Everything is 20/20

@Dekoto true but to him, all he saw was a man loudly arguing with his wife about something. I've seen a lot of those end up with someone being suckered punched and in the floor bleeding and stunned so I kinda understand why he did that

I completely agree-- but that dude shouldn't have pushed the guy down like that to begin with. Not saying Drejka isn't in the wrong, but still.

@Madenique van Wyk
	You seem to be pretty fond of strawman arguments. I never defended Drejka and never will defend him for anything. Your assumption that I would rather shoot someone then take a warning shot is one formed from a place of ignorance and a ridiculous situation. I must ask why you think that those are the only two options?

	In the case of concealed or even open carry there is a set of guidelines that everyone ought to follow. First being not to get yourself into incredibly stupid situations. Michael in his genius actively searched for these situations. The second is to simply walk away or otherwise get out of the situation through nonviolent means. Michael skipped this one. Third being If you absolutely must, then draw your weapon. In the vast majority of confrontations involving a gun this is where they end. The gun never even being fired. And the aggressor leaves. This is where the altercation between Michael and Markeis would have ended, had Michael not been so trigger happy and moved on to number four, where he fired his weapon at Markeis. Markeis was backing away at the moment and the situation was almost totally diffused when Michael fired. In this situation even if Michael had not fired his weapon he still would have possibly been charged with brandishing a firearm, once again because he started it all and had the opportunity to walk away. In these guidelines, the fourth one is to shoot at center mass. Not to shoot a warning shot. This is because if a warning shot scares someone off, they certainly would have just been scared off by the sight of the weapon. And if they aren’t scared off by the sight of the weapon, then they have no regard for their life and it is more than safe to assume that they will do anything to get you.

	In conclusion, I think you need to stop arguing about things you know little about. You need to learn and research so you don’t make these half assed arguments. Michael Drejka did not follow the guidelines.

	1. Don’t get yourself in bad situations.

	2. Get out of a bad situation through nonviolent means.

	3. If you must, draw your weapon.

	4. If the danger of death or serious bodily harm persists. Fire your weapon.

And I realise these guidelines can be flawed, that's why they are guidelines, sometimes you must draw your gun and fire immediately. But as I said earlier the extreme vast majority of confrontations involving a firearm never result in anyone getting shot.

@I do a little trolling Absolutely true. Poor child. But awful parents.

@Madenique van Wyk No, NEVER DO WARNING SHOTS. When you use a gun you aim to kill, not injure, or warn. Warning shots have more of a chance of harming or killing other individuals rather than the one that you are trying to get away from therefore making you the murder.

@Madenique van Wyk
No. No, no, no.
Warning shots are always a bad idea. Illegal, too. You don't warn people with a gun, you shoot people with a gun. Aim center mass so as not to miss and end up striking a bystander. If your goal is not to shoot someone with a gun, you shouldn't be pointing your gun. Guns are a lethal force and are only to be used as such.
It's honestly concerning so many people are agreeing with you.

@Madenique van Wyk In real life, there's no such thing as aiming for the leg, or a warning shot. Aiming is surprisingly difficult under the best of circumstances. If your wrist flicks up a millimeter, that's a deadly shot. <br>That's why you never ever ever point a weapon at a person unless you want to kill them. Any responsible firearm owner knows that rule. It's deadly serious. Pointing a weapon at a person unintentionally, even with your finger off the trigger and the weapon unloaded, is called "flagging", and you just don't do that. It's so dangerous. A deadly weapon is just that-deadly.

@Boris Johnson There was likely not even a need to unhoster the weapon. He could have just pointed at it.  Micheal is a guy that should have never had a weapon if he was so quick to fire with so little provocation.

Agreed. The assailant wanted to shoot someone for whatever reason he could find.  A gun is something the owner hopes never has to use it other than target practice.  The assailant went out that day to see if he could find any possible tiny excuse he could find to shoot someone, anyone.  It did not matter who it was. He was going to shoot someone that day.

@Madenique van Wyk The issue with warning shots is that the bullet could hit someone else, you've got no idea where that bullet might end up if it ricochets. Sorry you seem to be getting dogpiled for not knowing why warning shots are seen as a bad idea.

@I do a little trolling no mate you dont tackle someone to the ground and expect nothing do happen ,I am not saying that the white dude is innocent but in my eyes he  was a mad with a gun on on fight or flight mode that's why you should avoid street fights ,you dont know if the persone that you are fighting is sane or not

@Madenique van Wyk no, if you're ever in the situation to shoot someone you don't give warning shots, and you shoot for center mass.

Not saying this was justified, but your statement is completely wrong.

Seriously. This guy was clearly looking for confrontation considering he'd been arrested for pulling out his firearm in FOUR previous roadrage incidents. And multiple of those, again, being at women with their kids with them!

@I do a little trolling I was searching for this comment. It was avoidable from both sides. And the shooter was too unstable to responsibly handle a gun IMHO. - I know my view can be a little bit skewed due to the fact, that I have german opinions where guns are not allowed at all.

@Keovey 😂😂😂😂 oh honey, I could talk to you all day. And seeing as you're so eager to talk back, I'm more than happy to oblige. I just don't know what you want me to say? What exactly is your argument? You turned my "he was in the wrong, but Drejka was more in the wrong, and trying to say that he deserves this in any way sounds like victim-blaming" into "uUHM you're saying that this is not his fault at all?!?" and first off I don't think your line of reasoning is well-supported, and when I point that out to you, you don't have any more of an argument to defend your standpoint, rather you just try and invalidate my argument by reiterating it wrongly. Am I right, or did you actually understand what I'm saying and you're simply choosing to misinterpret it so that you don't have to admit to being biased? And please answer back with something coherent.

@Madenique van Wyk What a charming way to try and end a discussion, your really trying to squirm your way out of this one ay

@Keovey you're getting a bit unintelligible, so I'm not really sure what to respond to. And as you're also not getting what I'm trying to say, I think we can just end it here then.

@Madenique van Wyk You just wrong though, how is he possibly not to blame also!?!? I fell like your arguing that its only the guy whose shits fault

@Keovey okay, you've stated your case. You don't see how, in this man's mind, a random stranger harrassing your family while you're away could justify a confrontation. We don't know anything about the circumstances, and while yes, I agree that a rational person would probably start with something like "Hey! What's going on here?", I still don't see the point of this reasoning. So what if he was in the wrong? Drejka was a million times more in the wrong, and a person ended up dead because of it. I don't see how sprinkling a bit of victim-blaming onto this case, just for the flavour, changes anything about this case or proves anything other than what we know already. People are human, they make mistakes, nobody ever acts 100% justifiable in a situation, which often leads to it worsening. It doesn't at all take away from what Dejka has done, and in fact I hope everyone you love acts coolheaded in every situation, no matter what happens to them. I really hope so.

@Madenique van Wyk No, i thin k if your going to take a man to the ground for no reason you should expect something back, now shooting the man was out of order and I never said he was in the right but that dad caused this situation though! No very responsible as a dad...

@Keovey you literally agree with Batman that you don't feel bad for anyone except the kids, and told me everyone was in the wrong here. The only way someone wouldn't feel remorse over someone else dying, is that you think they deserve it. Over a shove. "nobody said that so don't make assumptions" no bucko it's called extrapolation based on evidence and you were practically saying EXACTLY that. I just put it into more clear wording so that you can see what you're advocating for, and rightly realise that it's a radical stance. Now go over your previous comments and tell me what exactly you were trying to say then 😂

Both messed. If the Drieka just walked away and called the police he’d have a very solid case of aggravated assault. Instead he wanted to be a wannabe hero protecting “his store”

@Keovey so you think that a shove like that justifies his murder? Okay then, I'd rather not think that anyone has such skewed morality, but I wasn't planning on visiting a coutry with more open gun laws than open mindsets, so thanks for providing me another excellent reason.

@Ashencloud i can't believe that every person who replies to my warning shot suggestion would gladly defend the guy not making a warning shot, because it's illegal and could lead to an accident, thereby confirming to me that you'd rather shoot someone straight in the chest for pushing you, rather than take your chances with a shot that's not aimed at someone directly. Am i losing my mind? How do these two actions compare? This man went to jail for manslaughter, and you're telling me in no way would there be better consequences if he decided not to aim the bullet at the father's chest???

@Frog in A bucket yes they do, they give you a sense of invulnerability and ultimate power over others. im not gonna argue if guns are bad, but to say there not mind altering is pretty stupid...

@Caleb Barker Even brandishing a weapon in a situation where you wouldn’t be otherwise justified to discharge it is enough to get you charged in many places.

I came here to say this. I am 17 and a future gun owner. I don't ever ever ever ever <b>ever</b> want to use a gun to hurt anyone. I hate that the chance that I may have to, is above zero.

A responsible gun owner.....? How about u stop letting everyone have guns America is backwards cos they like making money

@Madenique van Wyk He didn't start the fight?!?! The guy literally came over and shoved the guy to the ground not knowing what's even going on, not a very responsible dad now is it, not a good role model. I feel sorry for no one here apart from  the kids

Truth.  Very sad.. some people get a CCW and think they are captain dick.

@Keovey there is literally no one I feel pity for in this story except for the kids. The dude is horrible person, the parents were/are horrible people.

@Keovey did I SAY it was a good idea? Are you saying it's a BETTER idea to just straight up shoot a man? Oh yeah you are, you think they're all equally guilty. Shooter started the whole fight, and immediately whipped his gun out and shot in a couple of seconds. Nothing you say can defend that.

@Superior Intelligence 122 did we both watch the same video, the victim stopped after he pushed the dude.  dude could have not shot him and all this shit in the video would have never happened

@socks man thanks, I'm not American so I have no idea what the "just carrying firearms around in the street" protocol is, however I do have to say that in the long run, if I had to weigh up shooting an illegal warning shot, and illegally shooting someone in the chest, I'd probably choose the former. Sorry to Drejka but I'm different 😂

@Boris Johnson your not allowed to just pull out your gun in America.  You have to use it.  It's a catch 22.

As a responsible gun owner myself it sickens me. You should be doing everything possible to diffuse these types of situations. He STARTED a confrontation by starting the argument with her which was the first major problem. After he got shoved and pulled his weapon he knew the dude was no longer a threat and shot anyways hoping he could get away with it. What an asshole.

AND had to see his father collapse in front of him. That has to be a traumatic experience. Rest easy :(

I agree, yes the guy assaulted him but he litterly took a a few seconds thinking to shoot him or not and he was definitely itching to kill someone and the victim gave him a reason to do so.

As a gun owner and concealed carrier I know the chances of me ever having to draw my firearm is pretty damn slim, but even if that does happen the chances of me actually firing it is far slimmer. The simple fact of knowing a person is armed is enough to deter most people. Hell even in the video you see Mr McLaughlin immediately back away and recoil at the sight of the gun, but that murderer Mr Drejka was out for blood anyway

@Madenique van Wyk I think this guy was wrong to fire. But all safety courses teach you that you aim for center mass (chest and abdomen) as it's the largest target on a person. Also warning shots only really exist in movies, a warning shot can get you arrested for a negligent discharge. The brandishing of a gun is warning enough. You're taught that you only fire when aimed at a legitimate threat, and ensuring no innocents are in the background.

This is the major issue, Drejka was not facing a legitimate threat, he was some idiot who wanted to play badass with a woman trying to mind her business, but when someone his own size appeared, he chose to use lethal force instead of defusing or accepting the fight he started.

It's seems Drejka had training in how to  a gun, but not when to use a gun. And that is arguably most important.

@Boris Johnson definitely. And I can also imagine, if you really feel there is a need for discharge, aiming at someone's chest would probably be your last option, and a warning shot would probably be the most logical next step. So yeah, this guy was out for blood

The threat of the weapon would’ve been sufficient for protection, there was no need for discharge.
