YouTube Star Posts "Prank" Assaulting Women

[sufrommich]

Sam Pepper is a successful YouTube prank star. His videos frequently have over one million views and he's well known in the community for being outrageous. Yesterday he posted a video where he went around to young women and grabbed their asses. Because hur hur hur, how funny is that? What, you bitches can't take a joke?

If you heard a "boom" sometime last evening, it was the internet and YouTube communities EXPLODING WITH RAGE over this so-called "prank". This "prank" involved him going up to unsuspecting women, many who look underaged, and pinching their butts. It's disgusting, it's disrespectful, it's gross and it's ASSAULT. The fact he thought it was a JOKE is even more disgusting.

The video shows him going up to five women and grabbing (rather hard from the look of it) their asses while their stand there completely unaware. One woman is so shocked she leaps aside like she's just been electrocuted. One says "Oh my god, no!" in horror. Sam grins and laughs the entire time. It's hard to watch.

While the video shows five women, a prank video often takes days to make to get the "reactions" someone wants and we can safely assume many other women had their asses grabbed and filmed by this asshole.

I hope these women press charges for assault.They've got all the proof they need.

1. We should all play a prank on that guy and pinch his butt. Like, anywhere, anytime.

I mean, come on... That's funny!!!!!!!!!!!

22. Over and over and over again. Till his ass cheeks are black and blue.

[seabeyond]

2. how many of these internet entertainments of women/girls being assaulted,

harassed, rape threats/jokes, and so much more must we see of our young boys/men before we KNOW there is a HUGE problem with how the see females?

[nomorenomore08]

23. But you know they'll say, "Oh it's just a tiny minority. Don't worry so much blah blah."

I've even seen posts on DU, quite recently, to that effect. You know what I'm talking about.

[CrispyQ]

3. I hope this disgusting asshole never gets laid again.

[nomorenomore08]

24. +1

That would be the ultimate punishment, I think, for someone like him.

[ColesCountyDem]

4. Arrest the bastard! n/t

5. Everyone should look up Tommy Sotomayor...

His mentor is Rush Limbaugh and he's the black male version of this guy. He has made his entire YouTube celebrity on demonizing, harassing, and degrading black women. He has millions of subscribers, many of whom are black men (rooted on by white racists) and sadly some black women who desperately seek validation from these men.

This guy openly talks about beating black women, killing them and black people. Tommy is known for his support of Paula Dean, George Zimmerman and the cops who have been assaulting and/or killing black men and women.

No matter how much we flag his channels and videos, YouTube does nothing about his hate speech. He has at least 30 different channels, which YouTube has allowed, so he can't be stopped.

It is incredibly sad.

9. love their form letter replies when you alert on anything.

No. Actually, I hate their phony replies. "We've reviewed your alert....and decided to give you the finger." Well, that would be more honest if they said that.

[sufrommich]

10. Wow,that's horrible.

I have never heard of the guy until now,what a nut.YouTube is a cesspool,there's nothing they won't allow as long as it generates clicks.

[hfojvt]

14. now you made me waste a whole bunch of time

watched two of his videos, or like 1.5.

He spent about .25 of the videos I watched talking about black women and he spent the other 1.25 talking about his own damned self and how lots of people are liking him and lots are attacking him and how he does this and he does that.

It was him, him, him.

Not that he did not have a point.

I mean when he talks about people threatening him, or attacking his daughter - those people ARE in the wrong.

But it still seemed to me that instead of talking about "the world" all he was talking about was the drama in "his own life".

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

15. Understand, however, that he projects. First, he's lying about people attacking his

daughter. He goes after people's wives, their families, their children, but accuses others of doing what HE is doing to them. He parades his daughter on the tube as he condemns and demeans black women. He doesn't know how his words will affect his dark-skinned daughter.

I know it's a waste of your time, but this guy is a goddamned liar. He lies about everything! He goes after people, famously stalking them. The problem is, like his mentor Rush Limbaugh, he is incredibly charismatic, so he'll have people saying stuff like "he's making a valid point," so that's how people get sucked in. Sure, he'll sprinkle one or two valid points in, making you think that the rest of his hate speech is also valid. But it's all hate speech. Please trust me on this. It's like what Limbaugh does. He'll make a seemingly logical point, and you're like "yeah, that does make sense". But when you listen to the rest of his hate dribble, you're like: wow, as they say, a clock is right at least once a day. Doesn't mean that it's right the rest of the time.

So many folk are being duped by this guy. He's a really sick and disgusting person. Truly. There have been entire movements started against him because of the horrible things he says, particularly about black women, but also about black people in general.

He's like Larry Elder, Allen West, Herman Cain, and Alan Keyes all wrapped up in one, with a dose of buffoonery to boot.

[hfojvt]

17. I am not going to watch any more

but it still seems to me that for every "horrible thing he says about black people" for every minute he spends saying horrible things, he seems to spend about ten minutes talking about himself.

And, to me, he's really NOT that interesting.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

21. Yep, that's true. And thanks for listening.

I didn't mean for you to watch and further. I'm so happy that you're not interested. 😉

6. I knew a woman who was assaulted at Tailhook. She

was in a corridor. She grabbed the guy and threw him into the wall and painfully groped him, asking if this was what he wanted. He ran away like a scared mouse.

Women shouldn't have to deal with this shit. But if that man were to assault me, I'd have no problem going full on counter-assault, even knowing I might get hurt too. I'm tired of them believing we're going to just stand by and take it.

If I had daughters, I'd get them self-defense courses.

[mopinko]

8. yeah, he would get quite the reaction shot of me.

not in a very happy place these days, and my feelers are loooong.
he's have a nice little 3 minutes of swear words from the skinny old lady who cant take a joke.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

11. I wish I'd been in the area...he'd get a reaction from me.

See, he wouldn't grope me, I've lost my worth fuckability quotient-- I'm out of the hassleable hawwtie demographic....
So if I saw his chuckling ass assaulting some young woman minding her own business, he damn sure wouldn't expect little ol' me gettin all up in his grill.

I've done it before and I'll do it again.

[mopinko]

18. hear hear sista.

yeah, my "worth" is pretty low, too.
and gettin in the grill of entitled assholes is one of my favorite things to do.
put that cocky shit out around me at your peril.

[NewJeffCT]

7. I hope at least one of the women presses charges

and wins.

And, I also agree that they probably only put the five "best" reactions on you tube, but there are probably at least a dozen other women out there that had their butts grabbed that didn't react quite the same way (hopefully, at least one gave him a knee or swift kick to the groin in reaction.)

[rpannier]

13. Agreed

Shame he didn't get maced a few times

Had it been me, I might have gone, bought some, hunted him down and sprayed him
Bet that would have made a great youtube vid

[alp227]

12. And we're supposed to believe rape culture is a myth nt

[sheshe2]

16. Uproariously funny to him. He makes me sick!

[DinahMoeHum]

19. G*d help him if he EVER pulls that kind of stunt with me. . .

. . .He'd be six feet under by the end of the day.

[ismnotwasm]

20. I bet there's a couple

We're he got shoved on his ass

[freshwest]

25. I don't wanna see this arse so I'm not going to the link. There is a balance of power issue in what

kind of response the woman being pinched would be inclined to use.

If he's being filmed while doing this, it's a group of men surrounding their intended targets.*

If this 'gentlement' is by himself, I suspect the response from the woman might be physical. In the few cases some guy tried to 'cop a feel' with me, I was quite violent in response.

Of course nowadays, I'd probably get arrested and he'd would press charges. Just like alerting on a post, provoke and then squeal if stood up to.

*I'm using the word 'target' because they regard these women as just 'things' or something unimportant to knock down in a game, 'points' to be 'scored,' and that without any remorse for their 'fun.' No empathy.

I certainly felt no remorse when knocking one on his entitled ass, and still don't, but I never started a fight in my life.

As one post in the thread said, some woman may have laid the guy out, but if it was several on one, that may not have happened. If it was a group, it's possible a gang rape would be next.

26. Is it wrong that I hope the fucker gets kicked in the balls hard enough

to prevent him from ever procreating?
