There's a reason why nobody TikTok streams pranks in North Carolina

Well, I can't speak for all of North Carolina, I'm sure people are nuts enough in Raleigh or Charlotte to do those things there but over here on the East side where I live, anyone who tried to do pranks like this for views on social media would get ventilated (shot) pretty quickly.
I do not use TikTok and have never installed it. I feel as though social media just generally speaking has lead the the overall decline in humanity and certainly a decline in mental health. However, I do on occasion receive a report about how TikTok vids go viral and the reason why they go viral is because people do scary and illegal stuff in it in order to get notoriety.
One such instance comes from the UK and involves an aspiring influencer named Bacari Ogarro who goes by the name "Mizzy". This guy walks around various parts of London harassing people in very offensive ways in order to get more followers. Sadly, his tactic worked.
Some of the things he did was walking up to strangers on subways and asking them if they want to die while stroking their hair, getting into random people's cars, and also walking into random people's houses and seeing how long it takes for them to kick him out.

He was a public nuisance for a long time and it makes me upset that despite knowing what he was doing for quite some time the authorities didn't do anything about it. While I am not certain about this it was once he started assaulting Jews in London that he was finally arrested and charged with a hate crime that was almost immediately dropped.

I watched a montage of these clips with a sense of rage and also a sense of pride that crap like this doesn't happen where I live and we have a population in place that ensures that it never could happen. One of the things that Mizzy did that upset me the most was he walked up to a younger woman who had a puppy in a park and then picks up the puppy and runs off with it.
This guy is trash and I hope that they throw the book at him even though I know that they wont because he is already playing the "race card" and suggesting that the only reason why this is controversial is because he is black. Sure thing buddy. You record yourself committing multiple crimes and elect to put them on the internet thereby giving the authorities all the proof they need to convict you but they're only doing it because you are black, not because you are a menace to society.
If Mizzy or anyone else were to try to do this in New Bern or other areas in North Carolina we have something in place called "Castle Doctrine" that would ensure that his "career" on TikTok would be very short lived. If any individual or group of individuals threatens you in or on your property you have the legal right to end the situation by shooting them and even killing them. You will not be in trouble for this either.

I saw the video of him just walking in to a random house where there were young kids present and then refusing to leave until thrown out and imagine how this situation would have gone down differently where I live. At the minimum Mizzy would have been held at gunpoint on the ground until police arrived, in my situations Mizzy would have heard the shotgun chamber a round right before his soul left his body at 600 feet per second.
I'm sure there are some people out there, mostly younger people that would say that this is a "harmless prank" but I completely disagree. You do not have the right to enter my house or car without permission and you certainly don't have the right to make me feel like I am in danger in public, even if it is just a prank. These "pranks" do not happen here or other conservative states and do you ever stop to wonder why that is? It's almost as though rules of allowing the public to defend their own lives and property with lethal force prevents people from doing stupid shit like this? Imagine that?
