My company invited an influencer to come to campus to promote our company. I heard they had him jump around signage to get content for socials. So fucking cringe.

We've known this since September 1993, but we just let it keep going. I don't think anyone can actually stop it or knows how, unless we get hit with an asteroid or something.

“inject bystanders with empty syringes”
Injecting people with air can cause an embolism. The article may be wrong and this guy could’ve just been stabbing people with syringe however, if there was any kind of injection that was empty meaning air that can and will cause serious issues potentially death.

The article just doesn’t care to tell you that the syringes were capped.
The influencer posted clips showing him creeping up on passersby and pretending to jab them with a capped syringe - just days before France’s massive Fête de la Musique street festival in June.
I went looking for the information because I was like “you can kill someone so easy that way, wtf?”
Tbf,the last time I have jabbed myself with a needle it had a fucking cap on. I simply fell over against a wall. To make things better it contained some nasty drug that in theory could have hurt me badly,but luckily didn’t.
(Before anyone is concerned about my drug use - I work as a paramedic and the medication in the syringe is one I am highly allergic to…)
Still better than a contaminated one. Wouldn’t recommend both, though.
An embolism really isn’t a concern with a syringe unless you happen to hit an artery. You need a fuck ton of air to cause an embolism, like > 100cc, and most syringes are 1-3cc.
The biggest risk would be infection, as another commenter pointed out, but even then it’s a small risk if it’s a new needle tip.
But the argument is moot since a needle tip wasn’t involved.

Doing this in the US would be a good tutorial on how to get shot
Attempting to overthrow the elected government, threatening allies with war, spreading fear and hate, all while raping children may get you elected as president though.
Yet, the don’t. The only people who really get shot are school children.

So this fella was stabbing people with syringes? How did he not get the shit beaten out of him by an angry crowd? Did he always target smaller, vulnerable people who were alone?
What an absolute piece of shit.

They were capped syringes for the “pranks,” but your point still stands.
What’s worse is that at the time, there were actually a lot of syringe stabbings in France according to this Sun article (it’s the Sun, sorry about that). I was curious so I looked up more articles.
I’m speculating, but maybe people don’t want to beat someone up if they don’t actually get hurt, fearing worse punishment.
Bioterrorism. Unless they were changing needles, they’re risking a bad blood reaction or spreading a blood borne illness/disease. “Just a prank, bro” does not fix HIV.
‘influencer’ - no, this person is a menace to society.
Rosanna Pansino is an influencer, Marques Brownlee is an influencer, JerryRigEverything is an influencer.
This guy is just a ‘prankster’ and live streamer. Influencers rarely if ever do live streams. They make carefully curated videos that are largely marketing as entertainment.

Influencers are cancer.

Humans were a mistake.
A&W’s Third Pound burger was a mistake
Why do you hate America?
They had the chance to fund Poochinski for 3 seasons and declined.
I didn’t leave my country, my country left me

Monsters.

Injecting people with air can cause an embolism. The article may be wrong and this guy could’ve just been stabbing people with syringe however, if there was any kind of injection that was empty meaning air that can and will cause serious issues potentially death.

He didn’t have a needle in the syringes
The article just doesn’t care to tell you that the syringes were capped.
The Sun helpfully includes that important detail.

That’s not actually true.
It’s true, but you need a fuck ton of air to cause an embolism if you hit anything other than an artery. Like > 100cc of air.

To be fair, anything you do in the US may get you shot.
Not true. C’mon.
Disagreeing with established norms? That’s a shottin.
Ding dong ditch, shot.
Lawn care? Shot.
Eating a sandwich in your car? Believe it or not, shot.
Going to school? Shot.
Going to work? Shot.
Walking back from the Golf Links? Shot.
*bang*
Tadakichi-san is dead

In fairness, those things have gotten him shot at a couple of times.
Good point.

No needle in the syringe, apparently.
Still a good way to get bodyslammed into a wall. I’m not waiting to see if there’s a needle or not.
There is so much stupid here:
He deserves jail time, as over used as this word is, that does strike fear… Terror if you will. Nobody deserves that when they are in public.
You mean you don’t like this‽
