All the potential to be good fun for YouTube.

I believe this falls into the category: "play stupid games, win stupid prizes".

Absolutely right. And whether the guy who shot him was in the right or not (probably was, if you ask me... based on this accounting of it) he ended up shot and killed either way. Wonder if the vid got posted to you tube??

This garbage of getting Youtube videos by pranking folks just got real. I hope these meatheads that pull this stuff learn from this. If you did that exact same thing to me my reaction to a knife in under 25 feet would be to shoot you. I feel sorry for the shooter, he did not know and had no way of knowing it was stupid kids playing deadly games.
Read that this morning, one less idiot in the world.
I am not seeing how this went ‘tragically wrong’, other than a guy now has to live with the fact that he killed someone.

I was thinking the same thing. The dummy is dead. The poor guy who did the right thing now has to live with it for the rest of his life.
AND the deceased individual's family will hire a dirt bag attorney to try and sue the poor guy because they raised a foolish child...
..........and the average IQ of the Earth just went up a tiny bit..........
Oh well.....................
There are no words to describe the abysmal idiocy of some people. The one bright spot is that the pranker will never breed.
There is another theory about this incident. It is that the "prankers" were actually doing and filming a gang initiation that would have resulted in a stabbing. The YouTube prank story is a coverup in case they get caught. Such things do happen.
I run across a lot of such stupid videos' I think lucky for them there not in the USA most of the time doing such stupid pranks as most of the world is not allowed to protect them self
here in th estates I am sure its not the first and sure wont be the last time some one trying to get attention on the internet
gets it but they will not be around to see the final release
I just saw a article where some one died at a birth day party the home owner lit off a signal cannon and exploded it into shrapnel I bet no black powder but smokeless powder something like bullseye was used
Play stupid games--win stupid prizes.
Fellow was someones son, sad for them.
The gene pool gets a dose of chlorine occasionally anyway.
What's that rule of distance for getting stabbed before you can draw your handgun?
I bet mine's further than that. Cause I'm a little slower.

The dead guy is white and the shooter black? No charges will be filed.
Hold my beer and watch this.
"What's that rule of distance for getting stabbed before you can draw your handgun?"
21' but I'm not waiting for the distance to close. If I see a weapon and the holder is displaying aggressive actions, my hand is on the grip.
Even if the reverse were true no charges should be filed.
Difficult to feel pity for the guy. Moron is not an endangered species.
The only real victims are gun owners as our twisted media will blame them and lawful carry for the death.
Yep, on both counts.
I'm coming around to the conclusion the prank went incredibly right. The world is now without one of the dumber members of society and the general IQ just increased.

You CAN cure stupid.
Similar incident where I live ended without loss of life. A police officer responded to a fake robbery not knowing it was staged. I forget the reason why they were doing it but they failed to inform local law enforcement prior.
sometimes stupid "self cures"
Gun trumps knife ....
Recall a video, few years back. "Prankster" dressed as axe murderer was jumping out of the bushes at random people, scaring the hell out of them, filming their reactions. Did not expect the one "victim" that instead of screaming and running, drew a 9mm pistol on him.
Go tap dance in a minefield, and then be surprised at the loud noise.
