Man throws wine on multiple masked men after they started randomly filming people outside a grocery store in Newport, California. The group, 'karenchaosvideos,' randomly films people in public for fun without saying anything. "What if I just took you down? What would that be like? What’s so tempting is... I could literally take the three of them down," the man said. When police arrived, they told one of the women who was filmed that there was nothing they could do because no laws were broken. "When you're in public, you're allowed to be filmed... They're exercising their rights in public... They want you to get upset so they can film it," the officers were heard saying.

People that randomly film others in public are the weirdest kind of people.

Yeah, very juvenile. Just three fully grown adults filming people in public.

The 1A auditors are definitely annoying sometimes but if I walked into one of their frames I'd just be like "ok I'm leaving because I don't want to be on film". It seems to send some people off a ledge though lol they can't just walk away

The best thing to do is just keep walking. There is nothing you can do, and it will save you from being filmed and uploaded online.

The cure is to take out your phone and play copywrited music. Then they can't post and will give up.

Thought his was a Joe Biden mask for a sec

He had 0 chance to beat those 3 up by himself wtf😂😂😂

"What if I just took you down? What would that be like? What’s so tempting is I could literally take the three of them down." Legendary quote right there.

Assault with a liquid? Petty, but not criminal in any meaningful way, cops correctly read the room and de-escalated. The real villain here is the algorithm that turned “make strangers uncomfortable on camera” into a viable career path....

Honestly, good for him.

The guy had some amazing one-liners.

All of these people should be sterilized

If we're filming a movie in public, we have to get waivers from people who appear, even if its for a few seconds in the background. If these people filming are posting this on a monetized YouTube or other channel, without permission, why is this not against the law?

Actually they are NOT in public, that is a privately owned parking lot. It is private property. The problem is laws not caught up with this type harassment. Should get arrested for filming on private property without owner's consent.

When you’re in public then you can be filmed. At least in America.

Can only hope that somebody takes actions into their own hands on these idiots. Sure it's legal, but if somebody asks you to stop, why wouldn't you? Because you're an entitled POS that wants to make money for nothing on social media off of annoying the general public

People really hate the 1st amendment. There are cameras everywhere in the store and in the parking lot — on the cars in the parking lot. There is nonstop recording everywhere we go. You don't end up on the internet if you're not an idiot. It's that simple.

I can’t stand these idiots who do this! One day someone’s gonna do something besides calling the police and on that day I’ll cheer

If you don’t want to be filmed, it’s a pretty stupid idea to walk up to the camera then, isn’t it? They’re stress testing the 1st Amendment, I like these guys and what they do. You don’t like it? Walk away from the camera, dummy.

We need to have a fundamental shift in how we view the public sphere. Harassment isn't a Constitutionally protected right.

I guess that may be why I noticed a "no filming or photography" sign posted inside my local Trader Joe's store.

Vigilantism is coming. So long as our laws allow people to harrass others to "provoke" a response, this will escalate eventually to extreme violence.

“First Amendment Auditors” are the worst of the worst.

Did he get arrested for assault?

Are you against 1A? And dude should be arrested for assaulting those kids. And you are fine with masked ICE agents, right? You hypocrite

The karenchaos masked creepy men with cameras are assholes, standing around shopping centers recording people just to get a reaction out of them. Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean they aren’t assholes. The amount of people defending them on TikTok is insane to me.

Sure it's allowed to film others in public, but that should be illegal if you are masked up like they are. What if they were filming someone as their next robbery target, or worse.

I’d rather be a kindergarten teacher than a cop these days.

If people would get REAL jobs, we would not see any of this BS.

Bro this whole scene is the perfect 2025 clown-world cocktail, you’ve got three dopamine-deficient TikTok goblins wandering around filming strangers like they’re making Planet of the NPCs, and then some dude snaps, dumps a Pinot Noir baptism on them, and suddenly everyone’s shocked the cops didn’t show up with a SWAT team. Newsflash, champ, in public you can film anything except your dignity, and these clowns weren’t breaking laws, just breaking everyone’s patience. And the guy talking about “I could take all three of them down,” like he’s cutting a WWE promo in aisle six, was hilarious because you KNOW that’s exactly what those camera-trolls wanted. That’s their whole business model, provoke, record, upload, profit. The cops basically said the quiet part out loud, “They WANT you mad.” Moral of the story, don’t feed the gremlins, don’t give free wine showers to content vultures, and remember, the internet doesn’t need more weirdos performing in public, it needs fewer of them.

Those guys filming are agitators and they do it on purpose to get reaction. They are allowed to film….the agitators got what they wanted. The guy threatened them on film. You have to ignore their stupidity and they will go away.

Some cops are mental midgets

Ironically he’s giving them the content that the camera men want. If he just walked away the footage would be too boring for anyone to care.

It IS kinda creepy to just randomly film people for literally no reason. If I had my kids with me and these weirdos were filming them I might have shoved my foot up their a....

Everyone should get 1 punch against these 1A clowns. Dude pouring the wine was weird but man I hate those jackasses.

3 dorks

Just ignore and keep walking, without a reaction they’ll just delete the film and move on.

I don't have a problem with people being filmed in public even though I many not like if someone was filming me. However, I have a huge problem with random people wearing masks and filming people.
