  • @bigbad-rl9ol

  • @naffaog2567
    Imagine your mate gets stabbed and you all just leave him in the middle of the river to basically die, rather than try help him out the water….
  • @_Tommmmmm_
    Amazing how you have the right to defend yourself in court but you don’t have the right to defend yourself in normal life…
  • As someone who spent many summers on the Chattahoochee tubing....nothing is worse than a group of drunken tubers.
  • @SuzeQKnits4997
    Stuff like this is why i am happy to be an introvert and I truly enjoy spending time alone.....
  • @ejohansson9488
    Lesson to be learned here, you rarely get stabbed for beeing polite, and respectfull...
  • @Rebel1280
    Cant believe he was found guilty after so many of the kids were underage and drunk too. At some point people gotta start taking action against this.

    When a knife gets pulled out in a street fight… RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.
  • Apple river has a long history of drunken fights. My friends and I narrowly escaped a situation on that river when we were young. Never went back. To many crazy people
  • so you're telling me that if a group of people comes and harasses me and starts calling me a pedo because i'm looking for a lost object and they start hitting me and pushing me and ganging up on me that i will then be prosecuted for defending myself....? that's what i am gathering from this.

    If my dad was in the same situation I wouldn't blame him.
  • @b.vo.
    Moral of the story: leave people alone.

    There's an old saying, you can spend a few seconds getting into trouble but a life time trying to get out of it. Don't mess with people you don't know.

    My step dad used to be abusive after drinking. It gave me PTSD. I am terrified of being around people that are drunk, and this further solidifies it. Alcohol truly brings out the worst in people...
  • This is just one of the many reasons I don't associate with drunks. Been dealing with my drunk ass family far too long to know what could go wrong.
  • @UZPvNUCaaQdF
    Every detail about this incident is disgusting and anxiety inducing. Nobody is clean here. The drinking, the horrific taunts, calling another group over to join them, the pushing, the stabbing, the lying...its real life horror
  • @y09p
    Why cant the court watch the video, what is this 1875???
  • @peterbaxter573
    LMAO dudes over there dying and not a single (friend) is helping. their more worried about getting their bully on with an old man. How disgusting. I fell like everyone of those kids should be charged for the assault and stabbing.
