Populist Press: A man was shot and killed in the parking lot of a Nashville business Friday night after a robbery “prank” for a YouTube channel went wrong, according to police.
When officers got to Urban Air in the city’s Hermitage neighborhood about 9:20 p.m., they learned Timothy Wilks, 20, and a friend approached a group of people, including David Starnes Jr., with butcher knives as part of the prank. read more
Biden has cabinet positions and ambassadorships for the survivors. 🙄
When I was attending junior college back in the stone ages, I heard of some students who walked into a bank dressed as hamsters with violin cases.
The police who arrested them weren’t laughing.
Damn auto correct. gangsters, not hamsters.
Hamsters makes for a better story.
Who’d drive the getaway wheel?
Were their cheeks stuffed with sunflower seeds?
(Answer in any way you feel led.)
After the Nashville RV bomb and this, Florida man is now respectable…
….nice hamster reference Loco… 🙄
I hoid their cheeks were stuffed with acorns and they had their hands on their faces scratching their nuts!
All that matters… Did the video go viral?
I imagine it did….not every day you see hamsters robbing a bank.
Hermitage is a crime ridden shithole. Most of Nashville is these days.
It is unwise to attempt to get the drop on someone in a dark parking lot and convey that you and your fellow assailants are going to rob and murder and only yell “Haha, it’s just a YouTube prank” after they pull a gun out.
I guess next time someone pulls a gun on you that you should wait until they reveal that you’re on Candid Camera.
These aren’t pranks but terroristic threats and attempted robbery.
I would not hesitate to shoot a hamster carrying a violin case.
Aaaaaaannnnnd here’s the soundtrack:

Although it was meant always meant as satire, the “funny” motivational poster that showed a sinking ship and the title, “Sometimes you’re highest calling is to serve as a warning to others” has become too frequently a reality among YouTubers. What price “monetization”?
The take away from all this seems to be that hamsters are untrustworthy on general principal, regardless of their alleged musical ability.
Allow me to correct this post’s title for the sake of accuracy:
“Nashville man shot, killed after YouTube video ‘prank’ goes just about the way anyone would expect”
Was he counted as a Covid death?
Just another demonstration of the Darwin effect in action.
Hamsters. Thank you RadioMatt. 🙂
That Darwin was a smart son of a bitch.
Shooting the idiot was the most humane way to deal with someone this clueless.

Was the hamster named Turbo and in a commercial for a KIA Soul (clown car) with a bunch of hamsters wearing droopy baggy pants pretending to be wanna be gangbanger thugs?
The proverbial, brought a knife to a gun fight.
Matt, are you sure it’s Hamsters not Gerbils?

…they all look alike to me…
….DANG IT! See, you people have turned ME into a Hamsterist now!
…guess I have to turn Democrat if I want to get a pass on it, or the SRLC (Slighted Rodent Law Center) and RARE (Rodent American Relation Earbangers) will be after me…
@(That’s not just)Anymouse: Damn autocorrect strikes again!
Bless his heart
So how many views did he get?

“So how many views did he get?”
…counting the police, the coroner’s office, DA’s office, the DNC as it decides if this is usable to overturn the Second Amendment, and all the lawyers for the upcoming lawsuits and civil rights cases?
…quite a few, but I’m not sure how they’d target the ads for THAT bunch…
…congrats, haterz, y’all killed Jingle…

“Joshua Collier sure picked an inoperative thread for his spam”
…we spent 7/8ths of the comments taking about a typo on the first comment, mostly because we have no edit feature.
I think “inoperative” may just be more accurate…
For accuracy’s sake, he didn’t get shot AFTER the prank went wrong because the shooting was what went wrong.
Just saying, and yes, sometimes movies are unwatchable when I can’t stop seeing incongruencies like that.
Stupid Columbo stuff.
I think it’s gone beyond a typo. Matt can never the gangster story again. Now it’s the hamster story. If any one calls him on it, he can say,”yeah, it used to be gangsters, but hamsters make for a better story”
