And the bullies walk away free
The only proven bully was him, and that’s why he was found guilty as charged unanimously. It would be comical to see you being one of his victims. I bet you wouldn’t see it the same way.
HE LAID HANDS FIRST. NOT SELF DEFENSE.
@@Nonaddictive., they tried to drown him.
@@Ultorvindex Thanks for sharing your opinion, but youre from Tel Aviv.
Besides for the kid he killed…
What a messed up situation. Those teens should be charged too, it’s their fault that their friend is dead.
absolutely!!!
Lol official victim blaming. 🤣
Why did he ditch the knife, flee the scene and lie to police about knowing the stabbing occurred?
There’s no too in this. This is bs period!
Why would you fight with a bunch of kids? What a weirdo murderer.
Because they attacked him, you weirdo!!
he was looking for his friend’s phone around the teen’s area and they didn’t understand so they started making fun of him, thats how it started.
@@reid_makes_art so he ends up fighting kids and murdering one? Psycho.
@@Akmong1988 oh, he’s going to be attacked in prison and make to do really wierdo stuff now. 😂
They attacked him first weirdo!!!
These kids bruh
Show the whole video so everybody can see what the kids did to him. There showing what they want everybody to see.
He come to their area and started the fight, he hit the girl first, then friends come in to defend her. He had options of walking away He didn’t. What happened next shouldn’t have happened. The jury weren’t as dumb as you thank God
@@julesfans5190youth in America are absolutely vile.
Liar comment
DID WE WATCHTHE SAME VIDEO JUST NOW? He lied about them having a knife & he threw it in the water then left the scene! You are ridiculous.
@@julesfans5190all those punks kids got a dose of the real world for a change and unfortunately one of them paid the price for their sick behavior
He’s just doing what White People in Amerikkka have always done. Claim to be the victim while you have the weapon in your hand
Now that “Nic” has been proven guilty in the court of law, I am asking the defense lawyucks, and all those who said: “free Nic”, “not guilty”, “self-defense”, and “Nic is innocent”, to close your doors for privacy and proceed to guide your long and speedy tongues down-the-line up your as*holes.
To all the people who said he was innocent, I hope you never get picked for jury duty. It would be comical to see you all being one of his victims. I bet you’ll wouldn’t see it the same way as now. Saying Nicolae Miu was innocent is as bizarre as he is.
This injustice
Even if he pushed the woman so it gave them the right to jump him? Get TF out of here. I’m so mad about this. The young men need to be charged also.
Fine. Charge them for underage drinking. He is stabbing them and you want them to not push and fight him off too?
The dude was just in rage piggy mode. Not in fear.
@@Dont.Call.Me.Tall.easy for you to say now, don’t think you’d be saying the same thing in the moment.
@@Boonz84 I wouldn’t even approach them.
Did you watch the full video. He came up to them. Also, the stabbing was way overboard. What’re you on? You’re trollin’. I don’t believe your statement at all.
lol
Good thing the prosecution didn’t have him try on the glove.
I will not laugh! I won’t!
If the glove don’t fit…you’re full of sh** 😂😂
What a bunch of BS!
Kids need to learn how to walk away from violence
So does a grown man 3 times their age
Youth in America are absolutely vile @@hansolo3097
Funny to say that in the context of an ADULT that walks TOWARDS violence.
Malarkey
I wanna see that group sued in a civil suit
you should be sued for spreading hate againts case you know nothing about
sued for what?
Drunk kids. 13 on 1 this man should not be convicted of murder. I would for sure be afraid for my life in that situation. tragic loss of life for sure. That was not murder.
What a load of 💩! These bulling teenagers should be charged too!
No too they should just be charged
are they allowed to bully at school also
Obviously.
No one says that
Something like this had been indirectly done by Assumption uni without any responsibility. Tape recorder is every corner, stealing and uploading continued for years without teacher’s awareness. Violation by Abac or AU brought to home of victim, robber and thief.
“Man found guilty for defending himself from a group of fit teenaged boys who were assulting him” there fixed the title for you
Mom and Dad I am so sorry. I cannot imagine your suffering.
Justice for Isaac
These “kids” definitely have not seen the movie Eden Lake.
This is horrifying. People should learn to just turn around and walk away sometimes.
It’s a just verdict. On the first photo 0:13 you can see that Ryhleh Mattison is already stabbed, and dangerously wounded by him, and there hadn’t been a fight yet. These people wanted him to go away, but he was in a rage, and was out for blood.
They didn’t do anything to him, and they never were a threat to his life.
Someone has his right hand on mr. Miu’s throat, as you can see on the picture, and that’s Isaac Shuman, the boy who died. It LOOKS like he’s trying to choke him, but that’s not what happens.
His hand makes that automatic move to his throat, because he’s being stabbed in the chest at that very moment, and he would almost immediately die. He was only gently trying to stop him.
Did you watch the full video? Cuz they definitely started it. You’re clearly falling for the propaganda. Shame on you. These teens started everything. Like they tend to.
@@HandsomeLongshanks for the superficial observer it SEEMS that way, but in fact he started it himself. I’m not saying that they were respectful, but they didn’t attack him.
He was punched out in water, that is a potentially lethal situation. Use of deadly force authorized.
@@Dpowell28 No, he was not punched out. Some shouting, some slaps here and there, he lost his balance, and that started after he had wounded Mattison seriously. He was never in any danger at the Apple River.
@@joni3503 Yeah, like to see how you’d have reacted. Thirteen against one, those kids fancied those odds, unfortunately. If it had been just two of them I doubt they’d have started on the guy.
The wrong person was found guilty. Every one of those kids have the blood of their friend in their hands because of bullying and old man that defended himself. Our justice system is a joke…
🤡
An absolute joke of an opinion is what you have. He had MANY opportunities to get away. Thr amount of lethal force he used was NOT warranted for a disproportionate aggression.
Nah, it was just what happened here. Miu is a psycho and belongs behind bars.
HE IS INNOCENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was doomed the day the media labeled him a “Trump supporter”
Propetual victimhood.
Can’t wait to hear him on trial for paying off a p* star while Milania took care of ol’ Baron.
Times up.
Grabem by the 🐱 and the tube am I right?
It couldn’t be the facts of the case. He went back to his group & acted like nothing happened. GUILTY.
@@Dont.Call.Me.Tall. lol good one
it’s funny how you see your conspiracies even in completely unrelated events
Upon considering the video footage from the river, it occurred to me where we’ve seen this scenario before:
Even if we accept the questionable argument that Miu is a total psycho, then the Apple River incident was like the subway scene in _The Joker._ Everyone knows that the Joker is a bad guy, but those bullies on the subway weren’t sympathetic figures, either. They bullied the Joker and they paid dearly for it, when they should’ve just left other people alone.
Those bullying teenagers and their “mentors” on the river rolled the dice when they ganged up on someone who they considered to be weak and “weird.” It’s hard to feel too bad for them, just like it’s hard to feel too bad for those three guys the Joker took out.
I feel for Miu. As someone who was bullied a lot as a kid I can not sympathize with the supposed victims in this case. Miu had no criminal record. I think he should get out on time served, be on probation for a few years and try to go on with his life. Instead he will rot in prison until he dies. It’s not fair in my eyes.
Democrats hate self defense when its a white guy.
Free that man 🙏🏻💯
Yes!!!
Thank god he’ll never walk free. What a psycho.
@@benfrese3573 them kids were asking for it hitting that man like a rag doll
I think these kids caused this, and their desire to show off escalated it. Sad that this caused so much damage to so many. Just goes to show you that the person you pick to be your victim may just be pushed to doing something you all regret.
This is bull 🐂💩!!! The kids own video shows, Self Defense!!!
Crocodile tears 😭
kids today dont have respect. its because they dont get disciplined. try that stuff here in my country believe me the parents will stab their own child for just being like that.
21 months… should of spent 216 months training your son to be a better person and also discipline him… you’re late
I agree, he should’ve known that there are psychos among us.
@@benfrese3573that kid should have known not to attack people with a mob of his friends.
You guys must be out of your minds to think that approach, stab, gut and lie is justified. Thankfully you are just angry and not in charge.
@@benfrese3573 not at all, watch the full video… you will see the provocation came from the kids, why? because they have no respect for elders, if you read body language and facial reactions, you will see at the very start the old man had fear in him already because he got ganged up upon. Dont watch the start of the movie and predict and judge on how it will end. this is the problem with “you guys”. its because “you guys” don’t discipline or teach your kids any manners or respect towards elders, that is why kids these days have so much anger and voilence within themselves. its the parents fault. end of point. They should of known better to leave him alone, why gang up on him?
@@davidmccullough6489 Laughable, the old man took his knife and looked for an altercation. If he was fearful he could’ve left before approaching them with no problem at all. He had no reason to approach. But he did. Why?
I mean ultimately it doesn’t matter because people with a brain decided he’s guilty.
girlfriend should of kept her mouth shut… then nothing would of happened… but ja…. woman… never know when to shut it.
Sad and wrong. Seems like the rest of the “justice” system.
Jury got it right 👏👏👏
And OJ walked free…
What a wonderful “justice” system we have
He had terrible lawyers
@@CJLAKE123we have a prosecutor problem in the United States
$$$$
Whataboutism doesn’t change the fact that Miu was rightfully convicted.
both should go to jail
Sure wasnt first degree. Maybe second.
Eh no the guy was jumped.
@@bobbyraejohnson No he wasn’t. He was looking for an altercation.
Everyone repent of your sins and turn to Jesus, for by grace are ye saved through faith that not that of yourselves it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8
Wrong timing dude
The Day of judgement What will it be like video https://youtu.be/ttviqvfTBTg?si=6yags725C3ECSHYo
If ever attacked by a group of people do not defend yourself…. what a joke.
They pushed and slapped him. He could have easily just moved away like they were telling him to. Instead, he started stabbing people..
@@killyourego1185yea so what they were shoving him slapping him and kicking him. What would make him want to defend himself ? So stupid to fight for you’re safety you’re so right
Cómo podemos ayudar al hombre que fue culpable ? Por k los muchachos fueron malos también al hacerle bulling al señor apoyemos al seńor
It’s because he lied just tell them the truth you are scared for you life
The jury must have been all jews.
Miu only defended himself from those drunk idiots; defense is not a crime.
except it wasn’t self defense
self defense has to be proportional. If someone hits you you you don’t stab everyone.
@@ChantelJordan-fm7kx And besides the “proportional” argument (which is of course very important) it was him approaching them for no reason. The owner of the phone told him to leave the phone he was looking for behind. Miu himself told the police that the group acted out before “kids being kids” are his words. But he still grabbed his knife (made sure it’s with him) and approached, shoved someone and things went south from there.
You can’t claim self defense when you are the problem.
Joke of a jury
No, the jury got it 100% right.
Insane. This is Biden voter justice. Criminal mob can jump and bully people and h then when innocent people defend themselves from the mob they get charged with murder.
The knife was from one of the duche kids he took it from after he tryed to attack the man
As I see this was self-defense. The boys were violent and attacked first, provoked the incident.
first of all, he was the first one who provoked. secondly, after murdering one and stabbing 4 others, he fled the scene, ditched the knife on the other side of the river, put on glasses and a hat, and then lied about what he did, pretending he wasn’t there to the police. and thirdly, his response for getting pushed is to stab five people????
@@kannix386 Only what I see on the video. Maybe there is something else behind the camera. I understand thet
@@fantommorbius5175 even the video you saw should tell you everything you need to know that the guy was going WAY too far.
To be honest 13 kids against 1 man could definitely make a fabrication easily. But then again why is he entertaining a bunch of kids anyways behaviour is weird no matter how you slice it.
This is a bad day for self defense
BS
He should’ve been set free he was defending himself
Those kids and those parents will know the truth and have to live with that for the rest of their lives
While an innocent man spends the rest of his life in jail.
Guilty as charged!
Wow that man defended himself against a bunch of thugs
Justice system did Mui wrong. but atleast they wont walk with Isaac. that will always be on their conscious. How is defense wrong now…
All of those kids who took the stand and lied should be put in prison. Apparently self-defense is no longer allowed in Wisconsin.
We need self defense from the government and court systems. Why can’t we team up for the greater good?
Only because you have zero clue what you are talking about and made up your version of self defence law in your head.
@jackson9282 Look , the young adults learned a valuable lesson don’t harass people who appear to be weaker than you. I doubt those young adults would have acted like that with middle-aged athletic adults. Instead they chose to prey in the vulnerable and one paid with his life.
See here’s the thing self defense only works when you’re not the one who instigated the violence, you can’t hit a girl then claim self defense for stabbing the guy who steps in to defend the girl you hit….
Dude was told to go away and there was a verbal argument over him creeping on young girls he decided to press the conflict and escalate it by hitting a girl, a grown adult should be responsible enough to walk away when a bunch of teens start a verbal conflict weather they’re right or not instead he made the choice to stay and escalate the issue now ask your self why he would do that and why a jury might have difficulty seeing self defense in this situation….
There is no justice system anymore
I am pretty sure Isac is worm food by now
Im a court officer myself…This was 100% self defense
You know every time I look up something about this story I just cannot believe how many people in the comments sections are defending this guy he literally went out of his way to insert himself into a potentially dangerous situation and he knew he had a knife
Ban the knives!
Free this man!
The only one who seemed like they got justice was Isaak for his actions.
judge and jury will face POP! one day bud
Insane how many think it was just what Miu did. Imagine he would’ve gotten away with this. We would see raging boomers everywhere seeking altercations with young people to claim self defense in the end.
I mean you are worried that the teens didn’t learn their lesson (which is absurd on its own since they lost a friend, got stabbend and traumatized) but none of you seems to consider the message it would send if Miu would’ve walked.
How smart can a multilingual engineer be to think that he can lie well enough to fool seasoned cops and investigators, and only “give it up” when he realizes he’s already caught?
The jury got it right. If he had pled not guilty by reason of mental defect, he might have stood a chance. Too bad that self defense does not mean whatever you want it to mean when you remember the knife in your pocket.
Vote republican in 2024 to make crime illegal again..
The fact that he lied does not support his guilt, he could have lied because he didn’t know the law an assumed he’d get in trouble when he wouldn’t have. The real strong fact of his guilt is that he hit someone first, putting him the position of someone who was guilty of a crime trying to stab his way away from people trying to stop him from committing further crimes.
the kids should definitely be charged for this. wow so sad that man was just defending himself against 13 people
Please a quality attorney out there help this man with an appeal!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
If people were respectful, none of these things would happen. Sad on many levels. But entitlement is a dangerous drug.
Could of spend more time raising your son to be a better human being
These are the consequences to his actions
so many morons in here jeez thank god none of yall were in the jury it was not self defense if you have multiple chances to walk away like he did in the video but idk people in this comment section talking about bidens America so ig whatever fits your narrative ig
shows how stupid the right has become, I swear to god they must be experiencing some sort of neurological degeneration
“Justice” is a crazy word. Can’t believe that NBC believes what they said. Mr. Miu is NOT GUILTY.
Thats why you dont talk to the police without a lawyer..
Why did he approach them in the first place!?
