@@fuckusingfullname Chill, I looked into what the media didn't want to say and there's a lot of truth that is being suppressed. Here's some advice, do not argue with individuals on social media. Save it for face to face.
The creamer video got cut short, that woman was an employee hiding all of the creamer before an old man came in looking confused because there's no creamer to steal.
This is how I personally feel about creamer specifically. You can't steal what's free. So what he if take he takes 4-5 extra for his next cup later on. A lot of times its old anyways from not being rotated out so use it or lose it instead of wasting it.
@@livfastdrivfast8896 and he probably buys a cup of coffee... i grab a few extra, but i always buy the biggest cup... i also only grab extra of a certain kind because other gas stations dont carry them. maybe the guy in the video was a more obvious case of theft, but in general... its just people grabing a few extra with their coffee
@@William-Morey-Baker key word "few". You grab a "few" extra. Other than that, good points. It is better to side on innocence for now since we don't know the full context of the vid and we should assume that he did buy a drink (though I personally doubt it)
@@William-Morey-Baker as someone who works in a gas station. People will come in a just take creamer without purchasing anything all the time. The worst is people who come in with their own cup and fill it with creamer and say it's just water.
Tom’s videos in a nutshell: 1/3rd it depends 1/3rd genuine concern for bodily harm 1/3rd “not advice” on how to do illegal stuff without getting caught
Idk man all he says is not to post literal video footage of yourself committing a crime on social media, I'm putting that one under that category of "joke/thingy" not "advice."
@@danflick6669 Technically ASL is, in a way, a foreign language as it has it's own grammer and syntax and what not. That said, it is still hilariously ironic.
*Starts house fire* *Screams of panic, occupants rushing outside* *Standing beside garden gnomes holding box of matches and gas can* "YOU'VE BEEN GNOMED!" *Mfw arrested for arson, destruction of property and attempted manslaughter all for the sake of reviving a dead meme*
Honestly that milk extractor would actually be useful for me potentially, as we have to use a scalpel for cutting open the mammary glands of a sheep when it has mastitis, so that she doesn't get terminally ill, and while not the best mechanism it'd be cool to have something similar to that that is more designed for this kind of surgery
@@soniccookie655 honestly a few stable stitches and some antibiotics, nothing much really. It's already ridiculously infected so the hole is to release the blood and pus
@@soniccookie655 they make stuff for farm animal cuts and stuff. Usually a spray and there's oral antibiotics. If you ever see an animal covered in what look like purple spray paint, its spray on antibiotics.
"My Client, one Elphaba of Oz, was permanently and horrifically scarred by this person's disproportionate use of deadly force against my client through the use of his automated sprinkler system."
I always watch Attorney Tom's videos at half speed so they last longer. They're easily worth twice the amount of my normal time, and I feel like I'm ripping him off by not dedicating more of it to watching his videos.
People are dumb. An old roommate of mine had an interesting resume. Mainly the part where he claimed to be fluent in Korean and German. When I saw that, I literally LOL'd and was like "They could easily test you on this. We live in an area with a particularly high Korean population!" Has he done the shotgun blank porch pirate deterrent?
So a few things about that. I don’t know ASL, do you? The other thing is that if you listen carefully, it said that MUCH of what she was signing was nonsense. Who’s to say that she doesn’t actually know sign language and signed properly to get the job and is certified, but thought it would be “funny” for whatever reason to sign gibberish at her job, or at her job in this particular instance? It’s not necessarily so cut and dry.
Ok, so, I am fluent in ASL and have been involved with the Deaf Community for over a decade in Tampa, Florida. What she did is akin to an ASL 1 student and most of the time absolutely nonsensical. Unfortunately, police departments are often under-educated and under-trained in appropriately utilizing services for those with disabilities. This woman volunteered and the police were all to happy to not pay for an agency interpreter as they are expensive, especially at short notice. This woman was 100% not certified and this caused a huge uproar in the local Deaf Community and now more often than not in these situations we have Certified Deaf Interpreters or at minimum fully qualified hearing interpreters.
She was likely a contractor. Regardless, an entire police department didn't hire her or bring her in. HR or whoever was in charge of contract labor did. And if they knew ASL well enough to know she was signing nonsense the department wouldn't have needed her services in the first place. A very small portion of the population knows sign language.
The sprinkler could be considered a trap which may not be legal to use to defend property. If we imagine that someone is hit with the sprinkler, tries to run, slips and injures themselves, maybe they could have a case against the homeowner. Also that sign language fraudster probably works for a contracting firm that the police hire for interpreters when they need them, at least she got caught out at a news conference and not with something important like taking a statement from a deaf witness.
@Alexandria Lukes It's ironic because half of those jobs it is said that you learn more on the job than you ever would in school. Look, don't take what I said literally. School is definitely important to an extent. But needlessly memorizing shit is not it. Yes, we should learn the basics for most jobs, but if we wanted to save time we would teach what actually goes on in the real world -- not how to read from a textbook and memorize facts that you can just google in the real world.
@@Girtharmstrong69 Yes and no. If the doctor had rigorous training in the field and some degree of education, yes. You missed my point entirely though. I'm saying the amount of school and the way it's set up is ridiculous and pointless in many situations given the advent of technology. Being a doctor is obviously not a field that it entirely applies to.
Before I left the US to live in a different country for an unrelated reason, I used to work for medical software company. One hospital in Michigan, I was working in a radiologists PACs system (software they interfaces the machines like cr,mri and the server so the doctor can read the x-ray and dictate his report), one x-ray which is hilarious they had to still go through the motion to x-ray the person who was deceased had a giant hole in the top of his head. He apparently had one of those mortar fireworks, put it on his head Instead of the really thick cardboard tube that launches it. All his drunk friends cheered him on as one of them apparently helped to light it. It went off and boom! The top of his skull was a literal bowl with nothing in it.
I sell fireworks. Most people don't understand how dangerous those things are now. It's not the same shit we used to play with as kids. I had one guy, young, maybe 19 or 20, was holding those artillery shell launchers and dropping them in to fire them. Damn near blew off his thumb. Went to the ER got like 200 stitches. Came back the next day in a soft cast and bought more of them, $200 worth. I told him, look I'm gonna sell these to you but only if you tell me you won't do that again. He said, "nah man, I always hold em and shoot em like that. It's just this time I put one in upside down by mistake to see what would happen." (by mistake to see what would happen, catch that?) "But I can promise you, I won't do that again." Of course I said, no dumbass, you can't be holding them at all. These things are made in China, not exactly the best quality control. They may have accidentally made them upside down and put the fuse on the wrong end. Or the damn thing could just explode on its own without firing, get stuck or be a dud. I'm serious if I hear of you holding them again I'm not going to sell to you anymore. "Oh yea, I never thought of that. OK man I won't hold em anymore. I'll tell my friends not to do it either." JFC, all his friends are idiots too. Should've known. I almost didn't sell them to him, but $200 is $200, ya know. 😜💵🤣
Not only did that woman commit fraud working at a police department, she specifically applied for a job committing fraud at the police department on television.
As for the automatic sprinkler, we have those in our neighborhood to deter rabbits and pests. It could be argued that spraying people is the unintended result, lol 😆
Fair enough, but there must be at least some way for them to be able to complete that work precisely with their fingers more than two inches away from the lazer
8:35 Look, if you're going to lie about your qualifications to get a job, at least make an attempt to learn the skills after the fact. It isn't that hard to get a basic level of ASL down if you dedicate the time and energy*. Couldn't you at least attempt to learn terms likely to come up in these kinds of press conferences? *Of course, ASL is a language, and like all languages is full of nuance and complexity, but for the sake of fulfilling the duties of this specific job, I feel like one could at least practice some vocab.
I think she likely knew some basic conversational ASL, otherwise she likely wouldn't have gotten the job. Plus, how she signs, while it certainly was gibberish, actually looked kind of convincing (to me) in comparison to other people who I've seen pretend to sign, which makes me think she has some kind of basic background in ASL
The legally jaded cynic in me sees the sprinkler and sees somebody taking the homeowner to small claims court for a ruined phone/bag/picture of grandma/whatever. Not even sure if posted "No trespassing" signs would fully protect from it depending on the judge. If there was a fence I think they would be safe, but I assume they don't want a fence......or they would have a fence.
Some neighborhoods don’t allow fences to be installed or they’ll fine you. :/ my neighborhood is one of them. But I don’t have the issue of people walking on my lawn. Just letting their dogs poop on my grass
Here on the Barrister Thomas channel, we find out about dumb ways to die or get injured and whether or not we would be able to sue someone for damages.
That last video.... building on fire. I am a delivery driver. A few weeks ago pulled up to a building that I was to make the delivery to. I called the customer. I had to argue with her to get out of the building. I said the firefighters will not let me inside. That is illegal. She didn't believe me. I said look outside..... their is like 10 fire trucks. I left before knowing if she ever came out. I do know she was OK because I delivered to her a week later.
In response to the guy who taped over his wedding tape, he may need a catastrophic injury lawyer first. Because there's about to be a catastrophic injury.
Lmao that last one was so ridiculous. God damn people are stupid. "What is happening 😄 haha omg what's going on? 😂 omg it's a fire!? 🧐😫" yes who would have thought a fire could be the source of a massive smoke cloud?
@@Emilstekcor I believe that they think that you are being whiny, when I think that, in fact, you think that the school didn't think. And I think you're right.
Nick Rekieta: I do youtube so I don't have to practice law, I hate it. Attorney Tom: I love being a lawyer. I would keep practicing no matter how big my channel got.
Watching Tom's anxiety skyrocket as tge video went on was sorta comforting. Also what's worse, posting your crimes on social media or getting a job with police to committing fraud
9:31 I work construction in commercial buildings and can confirm this happens a bit. You also see them hittimg themselves on the fire sprinklers and sewage pipes.
The particular laser used for the cloth material doesn't really transmit enough energy to injure, due to the makeup and reflectivity of the skin. At worse you'll get a light stinging sensation.
Since water is reasonable force. 7:50 does that mean I am allowed to use high pressure water to get people off my property? Like full blast fire hydrant?
Sorry the force of that water wouldn't be considered reasonable. My question is would adding some sort of dye to the water be ok, that way it would send a clear message and a longer lasting warning to those who may be stupid enough to do the same thing next week.
@@ownage11445 Yeah boiling water would be almost worse than randomly spraying the lawn with sm cal. bullets. Boiling water is something I had a workplace accident with and holy crap is that painful!, all my Dr's thought that i was going to need skin grafts, thankfully I healed up very well, amazingly fast, and 10+years later you can hardly even see the scarring .
good video tom. I've been watching for a while I didn't realize where your sub count was. I for sure thought you were bigger than this. well, you've got one more today brother.
I don't think it's physiologically possible to dent concrete with a human. Or like, dent concrete at all... Concrete don't really dent lol. Given that it's probably state property on a tunnel or something, I guess theoretically they could probably sue if he did cause damage, but I doubt they would. I would imagine the cost of filing a suit would be far more expensive than whatever theoretical cosmetic damage was done. But I'm from Illinois, so I don't know if this person is from a state that actually gives a shit about it's infrastructure lol. I'm also not a lawyer so take this with a grain of salt
