Anyhoo, I've watched a couple of those surprise prank programs on TV and most of them are stupid and dangerous.
Same here.
I figured that the televised practical joke shows were entirely rehearsed and scripted; otherwise with some of the "pranks" - the ones that were actually
threatening - a violent response was likely with normal people being the object of the "fun."
Seems like these idiots couldn't figure that out - approaching strangers with weapons (butcher knives) in a threatening manner isn't funny, but IS a good way to get shot. As anyone with more than a spoonful of brains ought to know.
Another Darwin award candidate bites the dust.
(Or maybe it was a REAL robbery, and his cohorts are just SAYING it was a prank in an attempt to stay out of jail?)
