I love how he casually places each phone down before smashing it, as if he needs to do it properly.

You'd think at some point he'd wake up from his little fantasy and go "Oh shit, I'm going to prison" lol

It's a Pétanque ball.

[QUOTE=srobins;51133501]You'd think at some point he'd wake up from his little fantasy and go "Oh shit, I'm going to prison" lol[/QUOTE] why would he go to prison? this is just a big, big fine

[QUOTE=Egevened;51133547]why would he go to prison? this is just a big, big fine[/QUOTE] He won't be able to afford to pay for the damage most likely

[QUOTE=Egevened;51133547]why would he go to prison? this is just a big, big fine[/QUOTE] well he did assault multiple people

[QUOTE=Egevened;51133547]why would he go to prison? this is just a big, big fine[/QUOTE] Intentionally disrupting business operations, assaulting people and destroying thousands of dollars of merchandise then attempting to flee the scene.. I'm pretty sure they'll come up with something.

That amount of damage literally means nothing to Apple yet the consequences of his actions will probably cost him his career and a fine that'll sting. So pointless

Should have given him a baguette instead.

I'm getting a spoiled manchild vibe from this guy, makes me chuckle a bit.

Hes just mad cause he drilled in a headphone port and then his phone stopped working. jk

So he probably bought a iPhone or something and he got pissed because they didn't take reimburse the phone? Smashing iPhones sure will get that money back [editline]30th September 2016[/editline] It appears that he got mad because hes iphone stopped working because of water damage and obviously Apple doesn't cover that

[QUOTE]Prosecutor Marie-Christine Tarrare said he caused €55,000 (S$84,000) in damages.[/QUOTE] So much from smashing a dozen phones and a couple laptops? Talk about overpriced crap.

At first I thought this would be Duke Nukem, you know with the steel balls and all. Turns out it was just Dick Kickem.

Oh hey, that's my town.

[QUOTE=Jarokwa;51133818]mall security is such a joke[/QUOTE] I was surprised I didn't see loss prevention run in and tackle the manbaby into the cold ground. I've seen security get super physical on people for far less than what he was doing. Maybe it's just an American thing or maybe it's because the mall I frequent is right on the border of the worst neighborhood in the city.

You know I'd really like to have a "hahaha the pohnes stopped working at the first smash iphones are so shit hahaha" joke but I'm sure any phone would be obliterated from a smash like that...

[QUOTE=Fox Powers;51134000]You know I'd really like to have a "hahaha the pohnes stopped working at the first smash iphones are so shit hahaha" joke but I'm sure any phone would be obliterated from a smash like that...[/QUOTE] I don't care much for iphones either, but this guy is a dick. He's destroying property that isn't his for something stupid probably. At least a Nokia could survive this though...

[QUOTE=Trumple;51133756]That amount of damage literally means nothing to Apple yet the consequences of his actions will probably cost him his career and a fine that'll sting. So pointless[/QUOTE] The amount of damage people do to big companies usually is fucking nothing in the grand scheme of things, but a loss is a loss. Crimes committed against smaller business dont become any more punishable or worse than those against businesses.

what's he saying

[QUOTE=ChronoBlade;51134370]what's he saying[/QUOTE] He's claiming that Apple didn't reimburse him but doesn't say for what.

Wow, someone who wears sunglasses indoors acting like a fucking child? So surprising [editline]1st October 2016[/editline] If he hadn't fucked up badly enough in the first 3 minutes of the video, he really fucked up when he went for the guy's throat [editline]1st October 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=_Axel;51133934]So much from smashing a dozen phones and a couple laptops? Talk about overpriced crap.[/QUOTE] Well yeah when the laptops are up to $4,000 a piece and the phones now almost hitting the $1,000 mark, I can imagine the damages would rack up quickly [editline]1st October 2016[/editline] And to think for the $84,000 he's gonna have to repay, the dude could've angrily went out and bought a fucking Porsche and still have money left over lol [editline]1st October 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=spectator1;51133773]Should have given him a baguette instead.[/QUOTE] o i get it its bcuz hes french lol shouldve just surrendered amirite bro [editline]1st October 2016[/editline] wait fuck spectator1 is french

[QUOTE=Kylel999;51134458]wait fuck spectator1 is french[/QUOTE] Romania is France??? [img]http://i.imgur.com/AX5tKm0.png[/img]

what a bitch lol if I can't have my iphone no one can!!!

I think the iPhone headphones dangling about his neck adds another amusing dimension to this.

[QUOTE=Lolkork;51134695]Seems like they were trying to use as little force as possible, probably for legal reasons[/QUOTE] in the US, you're usually taught to just let police do the handling if someone gets rowdy because they could be a danger to your health if shit turns violent, and no amount of merchandise is worth you getting hurt or dying on that note, the dude had a petanque ball, weighing 650 to 800 grams — about 2 or 2.5 pounds, which is a decent weight when you consider if swung at an object (ex: phone, your face), the momentum of that and the arm's swing is all on a single, incredibly hard point. It's 100% a weapon when used against people.

[QUOTE=_Axel;51133934]So much from smashing a dozen phones and a couple laptops? Talk about overpriced crap.[/QUOTE] Apple stuff tend to be expensive but good tho.
