they'll be accused of being one of those dicks. I have more respect for shoplifters at least they don't waste food.

If it's a stunt, it's not very clever or funny. And the law awaits.

If it's a scam, same applies.

Otherwise I would think they wouldn't be stupid enough to post the video on YouTube.

The falldown is a diversion so that the store employees will be so worried about a lawsuit they won't say anything about their merchandise being ruined. Also it makes it appear as though the damage wasn't deliberate.

I do cherish the hope that some local law enforcement will stumble upon this video and make an example out of these assholes.

The original posting is on the YouTube channel theCHAIZYchannel The three assholes behind it actually post their names: Omar Khatib, Faysal Khatib and Zayd Khatib. (Guess they're related) and their channel is populated with dozens of equally unimaginative pranks. They either live in DC or are from the area.

... sometimes they look as though some of the participants/victims could have been
injured during/because of the "stunt".

I saw this yesterday (or the day before) and thought it was not only reprehensible,
but not in the least bit "funny" -- I can find humor in almost anything... not this.

I hope they get some serious SERIOUS community service sentences.
