“I actually try cases, I don’t just hold your hand while you plead guilty”💀💀
Felt that one did you? I know I did, smh....
@@Kev819 lmao for real
I had a public defender back in the day and he told me to plead guilty if not go get a real lawyer , 😂
@@UnknownUnknown-mi1dr Well at least he kept it real 🤣🤣🤣. Me when I learned my lesson I was dealing with a true Public Pretender. He pretended to be a real lawyer.
@@UnknownUnknown-mi1dr a real lawyer is always worth the money
I died when she kept asking about the guy being awake or not and he’s like “ma’am do you not here this man screaming??”
To be honest the thing I love about bruce somehow he makes it more interesting than it already is to watch. he does a very great job
What about being a criminal lawyer is boring?
@@kbskbreezy school
@@Hash1Suspect From what i have read, it's like a 24 7 lifestyle. Many wash out because of the total dedication required.
I got fired from my job because i almost fought my 50 year old coworker.. and It got toxic yo so now, i spend most of my time smoking weed on my UA-cam channel now, meanwhile i get back to the hustle no cap 🙏
@@Hash1Suspect so learning things is boring?
Thank you for covering dababy fairly. I don't want him to turn you into a convertible. Mad respect blicky Bruce.
😂😂😂
“You hear that guy screaming? That’s what happens....” I died at that💀🤣😭
And when he told the guy to get well but don’t bring your ass back😂😂
Love this, we need more people educated on the law. STOP SELF SNITCHING
Check out myron’s from F&F podcast is other channel, it’s called feddit1811. So much good legal info.
He was self snitching, he was admitting the guy presented no danger, but he shot him anyway. Stupid!
You can scream it all day bro. This idiots will continue to self snitch due to clout addiction. It's a helluva drug!
@@ChiTownGuerrilla yup str8 addicted to clout...until that high wears off and they wearing that jumper...i guess snitchin on ur boys wont enough for these young kats now u gotta snitch on ya damn self too...hah
@@bgva4349 lmao ain't that the truth!
Man, I've learned so much about laws and other actually useful things while watching these videos, thank you Bruce and thanks to your son.
You could also spend sometime at some gun stores. Not saying it in a dick way. The store that gave me my license said he doesn't want to see somebody on the news for something he sold em. People at gun stores are pretty insightful on the gun laws. But dont listen to the customers all the time stick to asking the owner of a small gun store or a chill worker
@@joebuddensbeard6615 Man I get it. If I had a gun store I'd have the same mentality and I'd say the same things. If I decide to get a firearm, I'll definitely do the research and ask around in the gun stores.
“He’s neutralized until you guys get here” 😭😭😭😭😭 that shit funny asf especially with the voice changer
😂😂😂
Imagine the will power it took for that operator to not laugh at that shit and get fired😂😂
@@HIIYAVOID during the call its in regular voice they only do that to protect the caller once they release the call to the public
He’s a boss. Do not go to DaBaby’s house.
Sounded like Boosie w the voice changer.
That case in Minnesota was heartbreaking; the dude waited a full day before calling police and kept their bodies in his closet
he's just obviously a murderer?
Good shot. Isn't it called make my day law?
I agree with everything you said. dababy is clearly within his rights to protect himself and his folks and by calling 911 immediately after the fact it shows that he is responsible and also did not want to kill the other person. big up to him and imo he should not be charged
I think he's right on the line of justified but yeah it's still justified. I would say a probably more moral and legal option would be if you see an intruder on your property and you see them before they see you and if they don't have a gun in their hand then you make yourself known you point your gun at them and if they run off okay you call the police and give them a description but you can't shoot them because they are running away, but if they reach for something or become aggressive then defend yourself and shoot them. Like Bruce said he thinks this was legal but a prosecutor could press charges because there is a argument, even if it's a bad argument, to be made that this wasn't a justified shooting.
Da baby already killed someone in self defense ig he took mercy on this guy
“DaBaby can promote violence and drugs all on his CDs
But he’ll get cancelled if he ever offends LGBT”

Dababy can't be cancelled hes a millionaire lol

you think dababy is dumb enough to do that? stop playing bruh
I'm glad you spoke on this Bruce...cause some of the bloggers, not all would've twisted this out of proportion. You stay with the FACTS my guy.
ur so close to 500k keep it going my man
Fantastic video, Bruce! These are so entertaining and educational. It makes me wish I would've stuck with my law school plans when I was younger. Keep up the fantastic work!
It’s never too late!
GOAT Bruce. Our NC prosecutor won't charge him... I think. Congrats on almost 500k!
No way he gets charged, he did the right thing, and said the right things on the 911 call......
I agree. Guy came onto his property, he shot him without deadly use of force, and he called 911 right after. No freaking way that he's catching any charge.
Yep, 100% he won't get charged for this.
except a lawyer could argue he wasn't in fear for his life if he shot him in the leg. gun classes teach you not to shoot in the leg cause it could be argued you weren't in fear for your life.
@@a.k.emerson424 He shot him in the leg, that's 100% deadly force. I'll bet Dababy gets civilly sued.
@@wchops7578 I agree about the civil suit part, but I don't think he will be criminally charged. Guess we will have to wait and see
10:13 I remember that case. On a surveillance system he had everything audio recorded. It was pretty sad and it was an older guy, a war veteran.
On the audio you could hear him shoot the girl and her moans and how he talked to her. I think the boy was killed, too.
He could have just held them at gun point and call the cops...from what I remember the old man got to spend the rest of his life in jail.
Edit: His name was Byron Smith. The topic of protecting your home in the US is generally known as „castle doctrine“ and the Psychologist Dr. Grande has a video on this case, called „The line between self-defense and homicide“.
knowledge is power... especially when It comes to knowing the law ... great reaction ... 💯
💯
He did a good job in restraint...just don't peal your case to 911 call. What you say can be used against you
He plays it fast & loose.
Exactly !! I literally taught myself that.
@@versatileduplicity9313 .. we learn the hard way sometimes. but watching Bruce is very informative....
We been waiting for this
I’m new around here because the algorithm gods only recently recommended Mr. Rivers to me, but I love his perfect balance of professionalism and layman’s bluntness.
Been waiting for this one
In the South, if a house has a fence around it and you CLIMB OVER IT, to prowl in the yard, I assure you, you can expect to get shot. More so a rural area.
Agreed Facts, I'm from the rural area of the south.
Big facts in northern Florida
I’m in Texas and this is facts
Big facts....#GABOY
Bruce you’re killing it bro👍 keep up the vids
Cool episode??? How 'bout cool suit and tie!?! Dayum! 😜 Lookin good Mr. Rivers!
you'd think after he shot a guy in walmart people would stop stepping.
come on to his property AFTER HE HAS KILLED PEOPLE FOR STEPPING, he legs you and calls the cops. you aint getting out of that situation better than that as the trespasser.
He also shot a couple dudes who broke his door down
@@chrisoftofer6240 Exactly. Less like trespassing on his property and more like entering dababy's thunderdome
notification gang🤙 almost to 500k
When Bruce said, come here & pick up you're man". I lost it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That intro never gets old 🤡😭❤️😘😂
I do not blame Dababy in this situation, don't try to rob somebody or even go on their property either. If he was charged, he'd be winning that case
But no one knows they were trying to rob him. Hes in the right but even this lawyer and dababy said they didnt know his purpose of being there was
@@Cclp2033 It doesn't matter, there is no way Dababy is gonna be punished in any way. Who cares what his purpose was? Him being there was him in the wrong right out the gate
@@Cclp2033 Lol I don't think DaBaby needs to prove intent. Don't trespass on other people's property if you value your life
Exactly this
@@shabberplasm32 You'd be shocked what an anti gun DA will go after. I'll be interested to see what happens.
It’s so wild to me that an overzealous prosecutor could even potentially try to charge him with a crime. I think he handled that perfectly!
BLICKY BRUCE almost at 500k 🚨
I love his Content
Thanks again for the knowledge
Damn Bruce, those cuff links are HARD.
Hey Bruce! An idea for some more content could be reacting and breaking down various police shootings and what you think about them from a purely objective legal viewpoint
Someone already does that ASP
@@Crakut and other people can do it too fam
That might cause a little too much divisiveness in his fanbase.
Keep up the content 💪
as someone considering owning a gun this video is very helpful
Shoot to kill. Don't wound. If its in ur house leaving him alive is just leaving a witness who's gonna sue you and take everything after already to rob you
Don't talk to the operator. When you call you say there was a shooting at this address, send police and a medic someone's been shot. Then hang tf up. Trust me they'll come. You'll get arrested, that's a given. But you respectfully tell them you wouldn't like to give a statement without ur lawyers. They'll try their hardest, they'll say you don't need a lawyer, theyll say they believe yousay let's wrap this up, theyll try good cop bad cop. They don't care if it was legal. They wanna wrap it up. So keep ur mouth shut till u get a lawyer
@@joebuddensbeard6615 shooting to kill because an intruder or an attacker can sue you is an asinine reason to kill them. Even if they were to die, you can still be sued by the family of the perpetrator on the basis of a “wrongful death”. The correct approach is to shoot to stop (in principle). Best approach is to avoid killing unless absolutely necessary.
@@alejandropollierte4023 the state is already going to try you. The family is going to try you after. The family can't get much if you were proven to be defending yourself.
Your killing it Bruce keep it going!! 💯
Love the intro music haha
Firearms for neutralization isn’t generally a good idea. Everyone thinks “I’ll just shoot them in the leg and neutralize them” while failing to realize the largest artery runs through your leg. Yes it’s better than shooting center mass but if a fire arm comes out it should be somewhat expected that it’ll kill the person regardless of where you hit them.
Seriously LOVE this! Keep it up Bruce :D
Hey Bruce, what’s the pictures of on your cuff links?
Btw luv ur vids
The Elvis cufflinks are a flex on that suit. Pimpin ain't easy.. but u doing it
Yo what are those cufflinks Bruce?! 😂

Congrats on 500k Bruce and son!!
The intro is as loud as a commercial at 3am when you where 10 years old.
Dababy is actually a real steppa. Most rappers would have folded.
Except when he stepped to the LGBTQ community.

Not every state has castle doctrine, Bruce. I'm surprised you didn't mention the wide variety of laws regarding use of force around the US.
They all do
I wish he was my lawyer, but no way i could afford him 😂
in connecticut duty to retreat doesnt correspond to the property surrounding ur residence always if at all. Ik bc i was unable to use castle doctrine for sum1 tryna get into my crib at my old complex bc i left my apartment, not sure if itd be different if it were a house.
I hear that intro and my mind just jumps into legal pad and ballpoint mode
bruce is literally goated
(With the sauce)
By all appearances he showed a high level of restraint and maturity for a baby.
I think he did the right thing 💯. What if he was out of town (which he is a lot) & it was only his family at the house when the unknown person did all that? Who knows what would've happened & the true intentions of the trespasser.
when in a conceal and carry class they will tell you not to shoot unless you're willing to kill and not to shoot someone in the leg because it shows you weren't in fear for your life. so idk. he'll have a good lawyer if it goes that far but I've always been told if you need to shoot someone you better make it count and don't shoot someone in the leg cause it shows you weren't actually I'm fear for your life.
@@kanestra8upmenace251 You really don't want to shoot someone in the leg, that's a very dangerous and common misconception that a lot of people have. You're more likely to kill someone by shooting them in the leg due to how many arteries there are. You pop someone in the leg, and unless they get medical attention fast, bleeding out is a real and dangerous thing.
This man shoots everybody
You really took the time to write all this
@@cryptobra5933 I mean you wrote 9 words I only wrote 4 so who really took the most time
Bruce to 500k‼️‼️‼️ run that man his subscribers
You just gotta think about Pop Smoke. You don’t know someone’s intentions. He did the right thing, didn’t murder the guy and called 911 right away.
Do an update on ksoo’s case
Been waiting on this lol
Forget Better Call Saul, Better Call Bruce!! 💯
He can claim PTSD, he had ppl break into his home and had a shootout before the Walmart shooting. Plus, ppl making threats online towards him. All this works in his favor because it’ll be logical for him to think he’s up to something.
Ptsd wouldnt work as this isnt in a public space and they werent attempting to rob him. Dababy imo was completely right from my perspective but ptsd wouldnt be a probable claim here unless he has a medical diagnosis of it. Which he doesnt.
Wouldn’t he lose his ability to bare arms if that was the case?
@@Cclp2033 true that on the medical part. I’m sure having ppl break into your home trying to rob you and end up having a shoot out could cause ptsd. He has his daughter with him sometimes. I’ll bet he could get diagnose with it if he went and tried.
@@donttripaye6192 no, military ppl get diagnose with it all the time and have all the weapons. 🙋🏿♂️
@@donttripaye6192 you lose them only if you are commited to a mental facility against your will
BRUCE BLIXKY GLLLIIIIIIIT POW 💥
Heard there shooting pistburge usa ghetto related some party
I spoke with you on Saturday, I’m the one from Tennessee..I don’t know where to send my address to though, I filled out the contact form on your website and texted the same number I called, please let me know Mr. Rivers! I am a huge huge fan of your content!
Shopify
RIDE THT MEAT THO PULL UR PANTS BACK UP IM DONE WITH YOU
Anyone tht likes hypocrites is an idiot don't self snitch but I'ma play ur rap song an explain what every word means and tell everyone there self snitching so I don't get my ass shot wow Bruce ur a trump.
@@CLRBruceRivers I searched for your on Shopify but it’s not letting me check out. The only thing I see listed is your branded hat, I would love to have your autograph somehow to put in a display case!
Yes
Police take notes.....that's how you neutralize a potential threat without killing
AND WHAT HE DO? HE GON REACT TO ALL THE SELF SNITCHIN
HE DESERVED IT.
CASTLE DOCTRINE BABYYU
Castle doctrine doesn't automatically apply to outside the home. You don't get to automatically shoot anybody who enters your property otherwise all mailmen, census workers, firefighters, police officers, would be dead. We need more information to know if this was a legit shooting. Accidentally trespassing is very easy in some places too. Seems like this was a reasonable shooting though.
Does anyone know what's on his cufflinks?
Hey guys I just wanted to comment really quickly, love the channel it’s great ! But if I could ask one thing? Is there any way you guys could work on the Audio a bit? Maybe another Mic, or one closer to where your speaking ? Sorry I just ALWAAAYYSSS have trouble hearing the audio when it’s playing, always very quiet. Thank you !! Just wanted to give my 2 cents as a sub and viewer ! 🤘🏻
What if your home is also your business address how would self defense work as a business and home owner of it on the property of said business or home.
please turn down the intro music or turn up Bruce lol
The term neutralized is just hilarious I’m this context.
This intro slaps
i love the flex....that means i actually go fight cases lol....
god that intro is so epic XD
What if I hit a headshot first shot should that be considered as execution?
Idk but that would be based
I think it would depend on your training and level of experience with a gun. Also distance would be a factor, as a point blank headshot would probably be tried differently than a headshot from a long distance away, especially if there's multiple shots fired, which would conclude that you weren't very good with your aim and only hit him the one time.
Again tho, I have no idea cuz I'm not a lawyer lmao
If they have a weapon and/or you have fear for your or your families lives, it is by law, considered self defense. If they are unarmed like the dude was who DaBaby shot, and you shoot them in the head, it will be very hard to argue self defense for that. I would not aim for the head, chest or neck unless you are shooting to kill, if you are shooting to neutralize, aim for the hand, leg, shoulder or arm. Never shoot someone in the back either, that will get you a charge just as quickly as straight up murder. If you did shoot someone in the back, they consider that as them attempting to flee.
It could be. But now you have to go to court and probably trial. And more court fees. It's just better to shoot them in the leg. If you kill someone justified, it's best to record it unfortunately..
Just means you missed center mass
React to robbery pt3
Notification gang
Ofc there is going to be people who say oh but he wasn’t doing anything……..listen if u are a adult and u don’t know to keep your ass off of peoples property u deserve what u get that’s the main issue nowadays people act like the person defending themselves was unreasonable but instead of asking why he shot him ask the grown man who jumped his fence why he did that and why he was approaching the house
Shootin range right at the crib.
How would this play out in California ?
Bruce boutta make a bag off this vid 💰🤣
He said aaawwwweeeee
Like the vids can u do other nbayoungboy update and 2nd
Actually Bruce many states including mine have a “duty to retreat” even in your own home. So using a firearm how you suggest at the end there would get you in hot water legally. Just a heads up, be careful
He basically said that
I'm pretty sure in your state even if y'all duty to retreat don't mean u have to retreat your home if there are no other options to retreat you can neutralize the threat as long as he isn't retreating away from you cuz now that person isn't a threat and that will get you in hot water FAST
Love you Bruce
That Wal-Mart is near my house in Huntersville, nc. That was crazy. He def provoked that guy.
Why people keep breaking in the baby shit?
Your cuff links my man; what’s on your cuff links
You should do a thing on signs like Trespass ers will be shot & beware of dog.
You should react to tee grizzly robbery pt3
I live in tbe same town as that northern minnesota thing. They drove that man crazy but they didn’t deserve what he did
Portland, JAMAICA in The Building !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"is he awake?" *Eeeuuahhh* "is he awake?"

4 dudes. He was in the shower
