Have you seen Marti's latest video featuring DJ Audits. Absolute vile behaviour towards the security officer

[@streetvideoreviewer]

Not yet seen it. Hard to keep up with it. In the past, they weren't uploading every day but now they do and it makes it impossible to cover everything.

[@colinpenfold9890]

There is a DJ audits video where he admits he is Data controller it’s the one where he goes to the big brother set

[@mikedavies4387]

It's disgusting that video what them two clowns 🤡 have done

[@streetvideoreviewer]

@@colinpenfold9890 I'm about to upload a review of that. Expected today or tomorrow.

[@lucindafergusonart]

I know its wrong but I feel sorry for Alan Coley. The funniest one I have seen is where UK Meet the Tyrants accused the Spar Guy of scaring the Rabbit , seriously though there's no way I would be a pranker , auditor or citizen journalist in the States when they could be packing .I never knew that being in cuffs meant not being straight .Tanner is an idiot and especially is his Dad.

[@Alan_Watkin]

another great break down 100% agree with your findings with Alan i think he may have been targeted before by other scumbags judging by how he reacted and the way he didn't take his eyes off Tanner. i feel sorry for Alan really i think, clearly a snap decisions... its often the same with kids that carry knives they get into a fight and without thinking it through use it, and end up with serious jail and sadly in so many cases also with some other kid dead on the floor.

[@streetvideoreviewer]

I am hoping he is released soon. Glad the jury 'cut him a break'.

[@ChrisJones-pu8gh]

Let me first say that I really appreciate your videos. I have no time for the likes of poor auditors or video pranksters and your reports are quite accurate on the problems they bring to society and social media. However, I do not believe that they are the sole problem as I believe that it is the general society, itself, that takes joy in watching these videos that is the root cause. How often do we see an urban uprising (revolt / protest) against something that has happened in the community, lead to looting and rioting? Why do so many of the general population think that in times of uprising it is acceptable to smash windows and steal things? The answer is that they know no better. They are brought up on "Television, the drug of the nation" or mindless video games which encourage shooting and mayhem. The days of being taught good manners from your parents is long gone, as your own parents are the ones playing the video games and looting whenever they have the opportunity. It wlll only be a matter of time before society repells against such actions and removes the dross. Some countries are already on the border of removing the "unwanted" from their communities and I think this will become more widespread once the first country, maybe France, does this. Don't get me wrong, I do not condone this. But if anyone wants to make themselves a problem to the society in which they live, I do believe that the society has the right to remove them if a majority vote is carried. Maybe it's time to get KZbin members / viewers more power in their "thumbs down" views on channel's videos, as currently it seems to make no difference at all. Thanks for all you do. Your videos are allways informative and educational. Maybe you could teach another channel (no names) about Section 33 .. 1972, as he seems to have no idea about it. LOL

[@theatheisthammer]

The shooter could have ahistory of being robbed or beaten up. And thats why he was carrying a gun. You can not really say it was his parents fault or he was abused as a kid ect. Plenty of people use the abuse excuse for thwir behaviour. Byr maybe you can im a way blame the parents if they always told him yes and he never had consequences for his bad behaviour. He probably thinks he can just get away with it because his family is important in the community.

[@Ian-xt1mb]

What do call this? A start!

[@whitemonkey7932]

Opinions mean nothing...guy may have yhings on his mind...stress...worried about something and that clown pushed his buttons. Leave people alone....if you attempt a nice interaction and it fails....leave it...people have the right to peace
