    Do you think the family at the end was justified in their reaction?

    Justified? Is a combination of volatility and ignorance a justification?

    A stupid stunt, really, especially in the middle of a road, but their reaction to it was quite ridiculous.

    That's racist.


    At least, the other dude (looks like her son) at the end seemed to be annoyed with the lady and told her to get back in the car.

    How do you know those type of overreactions never happened in other classic pranks?

    The magic of editing.

    We all know that colored woman tried to take that purse for herself to begin with and not trying to help out like the other people did.

    I know not all black people behave like this but the few that do that give them a bad rep. You see vids like this and vids of them fighting in McDonald everywhere, its ridiculous.

    You're right but still a pretty silly way to respond, it's not like it was their purse or anything.

    Just judging by the way she was running, my instinct was that she, more than the others, seemed like she wanted to keep the purse. Everyone else seemed cautious. She was smiling.

    By the way I am not racist because I have tons of Black Friends.

    As a black man myself, I can definitely say they're not the only black people.

    I'm not quite sure where you were going with that comment.

    It's not racist to say that she seemed like she wanted to keep the purse because when it was pulled on the string it should've been obvious that it was a joke; thus the purse didn't need to be returned. If these things have been made clear, then what's the point of coming back to get the purse unless you intentionally want to keep it? It's not like there's anyone to return it to because it obviously belongs to the pranker.

    We don't know if the other people would've kept it for themselves because they accepted it was a joke and moved on. Her reaction was completely unreasonable and the reaction of [presumably] her son was also completely unreasonable and straight up embarrassing.

    And @tamericus, Smokey's point was that they were the only black people in that video, and also happened to be the only people that made a big deal out of an innocent joke.

    the prankers were messing with people
    the people at the end were messing with them back

    some people pull pranks others pull out fistucuffs
    in the end no one was hurt so who cares

    the ones pulling the pranks are just as much of a jerkoff as the dude wanting to fight
