Really, in the current political climate such pranks should be forbidden...
The whole prank culture is a load of crap. It's a cheap, easy way for knobheads to get views (and therefore money) on YouTube by putting normal people in awkward/scary positions.
The sooner people stop clicking on videos like this, the sooner it will die.
Chicago, IL- 16 year old Ryan Wilson is dead after attempting to prank gang members in Chicago. Wilson, a young man from Chicago suburb Naperville, went to the southside of Chicago with a friend pranking random people. According to Wilson’s friend, the teenager approached a couple of Vice Lord gang members and said, “are you ready to dye”. Before the teen could pull out a bottle of Clairol hair dye to insinuate that he meant dying his hair, one of the gang members pulled out a .22 and shot Wilson multiple times in the head.
It feels more like what people consider 'pranks' has evolved though. It might just be me but I've no issue screwing around with friends/family/colleagues, nor do I mind the inevitable revenge, it's fun!People have been playing pranks for hundreds of years it happens daily on most building sites for example, yet a few sensitive souls want it banned

Now it seems to be that 'pranks' have to involve messing with unsuspecting strangers, which seems pretty crappy to me if I'm honest. It's like the way 'banter' can be used to try and explain away someone being a tosser.
Totally agree, especially with the 'banter' bit.It feels more like what people consider 'pranks' has evolved though. It might just be me but I've no issue screwing around with friends/family/colleagues, nor do I mind the inevitable revenge, it's fun!
