The only crime is that the man is on trial. When those kids surrounded him, attacked him, and forced him to defend himself, they chose the path that was taken.
Wtf is wrong with you! Under no circumstance is it okay to stab multiple people all because they pushed you! What the hell is wrong with you! He is an adult and could of walked away he probably could have fuckd all them kids up with his hands he didn’t need to stab them what the hell is wrong with you
Agreed. If I bullied a man into defending himself and one of us got hurt…. Like wtf he has the right to defend himself. I’ve seen those videos of AJ pushing him over and over. I would’ve been terrified if someone did that to me
The right to defend your selfs with knife’s? What the hell is wrong with America! 5 teen kids provoking you dosent give your xl 50 year old ass an excuse to stab 5 people are you okay?
He wasn’t in a self defense situation
“You would have been terrified” oh, boo hoo! And so you would lash out and stab everyone because you’re mentally unstable and can’t control your emotions? tf is wrong with you they didn’t even propose a threat to him
When Miu spoke to the adult woman and told her he was looking for a phone, and the teenagers were being disrespectful, she should not have escalated the situation by shouting at him and calling the teenagers over to surround him, that woman is every bit as responsible for what happened, shame on her.
Children 😆
She was both drunk and high and she has to live the the shame that those substances can cause. She likely would not have done that if her judgement wasn't so impaired.
And this justifies Miu killing a boy and wounding several others? 😮
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me…
But a knife to the heart kills!
Lesson: Don’t bring a knife to a verbal altercation with unarmed teenagers! WALK AWAY! Be the bigger man!
So by your standards that Savage sliced those kids to ribbons and she's just as responsible because she was being a silly teenager who had too much to drink, that's what you're saying,?! And just so you know, no one uses and I mean no one uses a knife that way and hasn't had the experience that he's had. I can tell you this, that knife that he had was made for assaults, a short blade knife is more suitable for close combat than what you would think of big scary knife would look like, he's done that before, I wish they had to take the time to go find out some of his background in romania. Is a murdering Savage and you're trying to hold that little girl up and make her as comfortable as him for what he did to those kids.
@@jenniferdokken8250yes it does 🤷♂️ not everyone is going to let your white kids say whatever they want to them
The court needs to be investigated. Those "kids" need to be held accountable just as well.
Completely agree! If these are just “kids” then their parents should’ve been present and teach them some lessons. These are adults in my eyes. After watching the video I can see why he was so fired up. These youngsters need to be held accountable also
@@lmyt8610 The issue is he ditched the weapon and then lied repeatedly. Have you seen the video? Have you actually seen this video? Or his original interrogation video? If he is so innocent why did he ditch the weapon and then pretend he never used it. But then acted like he never said that when the video was produced?
@@popermen694 I saw the video. I believe he got scared and lied about it and that’s definitely why he lost the case but in general it is not acceptable to be treating anyone in this way/behave that way. It was 13 against 1 so he knows he’d be going to jail but good thing they leaked the video that showed how mean these teenagers were to him. I have a child being bullied at school and not even as aggressive as they were being. She’s a 9th grader and so suicidal. She doesn’t want to go to school so I understand that they should be accountable for their actions also. If my daughter dies one day I’m suing the parents for “not parenting” already spoke with the school too.
@@lmyt8610😅😅😅😅😅9😅😅😮😮
@@lmyt8610 it was not 13 against one it was more like 2 against one, but by that point he already had his knife out. I would understand your argument if they attacked him out of nowhere but he attacked a woman first, then the teens retaliated which he responded to by stabbing 5 of them. Yea man self defense! 13 against 1! youre definitely not retarded
Mr.Miu is Absolutely 100% NOT Guilty. He Was The Only One In This Video Who Was Being Civil. ALL the Kids & Other Adult/Adults That Approached Him Already Had Their Minds Made Up About This Man All In Negative Ways. If Those Kids Would Have Minded Their Own Business None Of This Would Have Happened ♡
Those kids saw that he was looking for something, they could’ve helped him look, if they were decent, helpful kids.
Not only is he not guilty, he is being convicted for brushing Madison’s hand away from touching HIM. Convicted on a lie.
he gutted a kid.. and killed another and you are saying he is not guilty?!?! you are insane. of course bullying isn't okay but that's a grown man and those where teenagers.. he literally then acted like nothing happend afterwards too.
@fleapo0p2946 Not guilty by self defense. In the video the knife was after being put under water twice while being hit from multiple people. Also, he didn't go after anyone the people stabbed came at him. If he had done nothing they could have drowned him. Just because there teens doesn't mean they can do no harm to others.
Afterwards he was in shock that was traumatic event for all involved and probably forgot that he was being recorded. Their words against him, and they too lied when first talking to the cops.
It's sad someone lost there life an it's even more sad that a parent had to watch their son act like that in his final moments. My heart goes out to them. This is truly a no win situation.
@SamiVanMehic you do relized everything you said is still not a reason for him to do THAT also you know they were never going to drown him they were just bulling hum like stupid teens do , he also fled the scene and acted like nothing happend.
If someone loses a phone tubing, NORMAL people would move out of his search path or even lend a hand.
What these folks did to him was psychotic.
Young entitled, disrespectful “adults” This is the future of our country. 🤬 I can just imagine how they were raised. This man was defending himself.
@PennyTinkelberg
Are you inside doing time for attacking kids? Perps always blame the victims.
@@jacquiej5330he was the first one to make contact. He punched a girl in the face and after he was pushed away he started stabbing and gutting anyone close enough.
@@ashleyschmitt32 Watch the defense video for fuck sake, he never layed a hand on that woman since she didnt have a mark or bruise and had a drink on her the whole time. the friends even lied about him hitting her "with a hook" when he had a knife on the same hand. they pushed him multiple times and even slapped his face, thats when the 17 year old pushed him around the neck area and got stabbed. self defense plain and simple. if he had actually assaulted that woman they would be doing much wors than pushing him and slapping.
@@lordenvincarhow about watch the actual court case. He stabbed multiple people for no reason, then fled and washed off the knife and acted like he knew nothing lmao
Hate to say it, but I think the drunk kids trying to call him a pedophile and jump him, kind of brings out stuff like this.
That what I've come to.
They literally accused him of being a child rapist and pedophile..
@@keli449 Yeah but those words don't make it right to run up on their group, invade their space and then stab them when they react. Clearly NOT self defense in the least.
The way the kids were laughing, filming while trying to jump him was pretty sick
I agree but not an excuse for violence. But I understand how being taunted and harassed does not bring out our best.
It’s tragic that when defending yourself from bullies they’re suddenly the victims.
I know there's a lot of people like you, who are so fucking thick, you're blind to what happened on the video. I suggest you watch it multiple times.
Welcome to the US
It's tragic when a loser grown ass man goes to the complete opposite side of the river that his group was on to look for a phone one of his co workers lost that wasn't even his. So why did he go to the opposite side of the river? Just the harass these kids. From the start of the video this weirdo murderer grabs the kids. He makes first contact. Those kids have every right to tell that dude to leave. He refused to leave time and time again! It's not hard for a grown ass man to walk away. He chose to position himself in front of the kids floating path and impeding their ability to continue floating and leave. There is absolutely nothing self defense in this situation. Hence why he's gonna rot in prison. Thank god you aren't a lawyer. You'd be ruining your clients lives.
They definitely became victims after that
Defending yourself means putting yourself in a group of teens and not leaving when asked multiple times? Having your knife ready before anything even happens? Stabbing an innocent girl telling you to leave??
Drunk BULLIES attacked this man.
This is a self defense case. NOT GUILTY!
nah. a well adjusted adult doesn't go on a stabbing spree when a kid slaps him in the face. What part of walking away from the conflict THEN STABBING THREE MORE PEOPLE RUNNING AWAY was self defense. You're too old to have an opinion anymore. How miu does in jail
@@k1xntthey’ll me you’re dumb.😊
Doesn’t justify a stabbing spree
GUILTY go cry about it
@@tcsprynce5748 Yes you're right he was found guilty. However, no one with brain and real world experience would have found him guilty. There's video of him being attacked verbally and physically by multiple people. Those same people have no reliable recollection of what happened and some were even caught lying. Despite all that, this poor man was found guilty. The only explanation I can think of for this is that the jury went in with a decision in place and no amount of evidence was going to change their mind. Seems like there was a big name in a small town involved. These kids learned they could act like this and get away with it and they did. There's probably a reason for that. I'm glad you're happy with the verdict. Someone besides the animals on the river that day should be.
So he was in his mid-fifties, was recovering from major surgery, had previous serious surgeries for other health issues and this was basically his first sport like outing after surgery. The incident starts when he was looking for his friend’s phone and a group of hooligan/young adults surrounded him, battered him, pushed him, screamed at him, ridiculed him and and crowded him. It’s tragic a boy died. The dead boy’s mother should sue the bar crowd who rushed over and escalated the violence to a crazy level. This was mob mentality against one man looking for a phone. Dismiss the case.
The kid wouldn’t have died if he didn’t start strangling Miu
Issac is dead, and at his age that's very sad. But no one forced him to put his hands around Nic's throat. If he had kept his hands to himself, he'd be alive today.
You guys act like touching someone’s collarbone is choking them, I can’t tell who’s trolls and who isn’t with this case anymore it’s ridiculous
@@Hanseth47touch, choke whatever the case may be, he made the first initial contact with Mui. A big lesson we are taught as children is to keep your hands to yourself. Who knows, Issac may have been very well alive and testifying like his friends had he kept his distance in the first place. Rip to him though. It is still sad to see a life cut short so early.
Exactly and it wasn't just the yelling and what they're yelling saying but accusing him accusing him of being a child rapist and a pedophile
Defendant was surrounded by drunk VIOLENT teenagers. Teenagers are the most dangerous people on earth. He had to defend himself. This was SELF DEFENSE.
Didnt he punch a girl in the face first?
If they were so violent, why was HE the one that hit them FIRST?
He could of just turned and walked away did not have to kill kids he's a grown azz man come on now 😢😢😢
That’s insane considering none of the teens had weapons.
Disappointed! It was self defense! HE DOES NOT DESERVE THIS VERDICT.
That woman named Madison is a bully, and I wish she could be charged with something. She escalated the situation.
Manly
She was protecting the minors. Trying to run the bear off.
@@warmlantern0000not likely. More like starting shit
@@warmlantern0000 she didn't even know what the problem was as she was not initially involved and instead of trying to calm everyone and get both sides she immediately took the sides of the teens and turned on her masculine energy knowing full and well that she could get away with being aggressive and physical because there were 12 people behind her and of course she only gets a smack to the face while the white knights get stabbed.
@@warmlantern0000- the kids were the ones instigating the situation- she came in thinking she was going to take charge and she assaulted the guy.
Parents, teach your kids that that new age MOB MENTALITY isn’t cute.
Agreed! No one is talking about their underage drinking either. The deceased boys alcohol level was enough to cause poisoning. It was a .219.
@@magalir4471 - Plus weed.
That does not condone murder in this case.
@@GoodisBest4u I fully agree with you.
@@GoodisBest4u No it doesn’t but you can’t deny that the “boys” and the two females didn’t instigate things. If I had a quadruple bypass and I had ppl pushing on my chest and knocking me into the water I’d defend myself too.
The jurors should be ashamed of themselves. You just convicted an innocent man!
Those teens are vile and what they did wrong , but the way he reacted wrong. You don't stab someone and intent and strength rip the knife up to do maximum damage. His energy in the video and even in court is of a man that's easily angered even though he's trying to be nice. Also did you notice how extremely suspicious he paused before answering if he felt threatened? While with other questions he rapidly and confidently answers yes or no. And if he was so frail that day why was he volunteering to look for the phone? He felt fine , he got offended, rightly so, and lashed out with excessive force, not rightly so
Na. I don't think they did. He killed a kid and stabbed 5 people. That is not innocent especially when you consider he left his own group to confront the loud kids, his group did not follow him. His own group was so far away from the teens group he had no business approaching them. You can say "looking for phone" but that is simply his excuse to approach them. He got mad and stabbed them because feelings hurts.
@@stevenharper7118 so you ignore the part they ganged up on him, tried to drow him and assaulted him repeatedly.
@@blankspace4358 Steven likely suffers from TDS. Eventually it blurs all rational means of reasoning.
@@stevenharper7118 Hurt feelings? Those people attacked him? They literally had physically assulted him before he stabbed them? Everyone is entilted to defend themselves, if you don't want to get stabbed, don't attack random people.
People need to take responsibility for their own actions. The teenagers were way out of line. The teenagers also need to be charged for escalating a violent situation.
Yeah! I was on the side of the teenagers when I first heard about this.
Then I watched the video myself. These adults were poking a bear.
He even told them why he came over there.
And he needs to be acquitted
Someone was killed, multiple others were stabbed. Yes they dilated him but the majority of him stabbing were while he was up and walking, with an easy way to just walk away. Yes people should take responsibility but this is a horrible example of that. F off
@@tapesock1387 they teased him. They kept pushing him down with no sign of stopping.
The adult lady and other guys escalated it even more. You can’t think straight when you are surrounded and then people start attacking you. They knew he was looking for a phone but tried to change it into something weird … then got another group and started attacking him after trying to bully him into not looking for his phone. Which the most likely stole as well. Why would they tease him saying “looking for this” and then hold up a phone. Then try to make it out like he was looking for kids or little girls. Then start attacking him.
@@tapesock1387 sucks those kids had to get stabbed but they brought it on themselves by their behavior. They should kept their hands to themselves and not assaulted dude and tried to gang up on him.
This man had no motive to kill. He seems like a regular dude who was gaslighted by a bunch of teenagers. Eventually he was assaulted and he did what he had to do
Agree.I believe these adult children wouldn't of let him walk away..They had no respect for this man at all.He went to river to enjoy.
@@twinky4839they didn’t let him walk away and the 2nd group really made things worse by inserting themselves and escalating to violence. 100% not guilty.
God please help him out of this situation 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
A 60 something year old man shouldn’t be gaslighted. It’s almost funny. He was drunk as could be. So some teenagers messed and hollered at him - WALK AWAY YOU ‘ADULT’. Give me a break. He KILLED a teenager. An immature adolescent teenager. Yeah. That gives him complete authority to kill someone and stab 3 others. You’re literally insane and not fit to be in public situations.
Eewh! Your discernment is off!
I'm a 60+yo female and I would have protected myself in any manner possible - I believe this man. The kids can't even lie straight.
I agree. These adults (no children) surrounded this man. All of them should be prosecuted for their contributing to the death of their friend.
This should have never been brought to trial any body else in that predicament . An old black man and a group of “good ole’ boys,” a young white guy and all black teens. A young woman and a mix bag of men. Any of those and we don’t have a case. But, an older white man defending himself from a mix bag of kids and adults mostly whites he is here in court for shame.
But video does not lie. He had many opportunities to leave or show his knife and say f off but he did all the wrong things his fault now he goes to prison
@@Brightnshinysyndrome they had plenty of time to just go by their merry way and leave him be.
@@Brightnshinysyndrome Hi thanks for dialogue. You are right the video does not lie but, it cannot interpret feelings and fear. He was pushed, he was hit, attempts made to hold him down face down in the river. The intensity of the encroaching strangers, the volume of young boy cackling and shouting. Strange drunk woman shouting in your ears, your face. Fright or flight. Do you hunt? I do, have you ever cornered deer? It can’t win but for an instant it seems like it would stomp and attempt to fight! Unbelievable I know but you put a human up against anything and we too will try to survive if we can’t avoid. You see the opening but, he does not. And, and he does not have to retreat he has a right to stand his ground. My opinion thats all.
This COURT, TOWN AND THE PARENTS OF THOSE BOYS should ALL be ASHAMED of themselves!!! The verdict was absolutely unjust and i hope he gets an appeal!!!
I'm rewatching the trial videos to try to figure out what I missed. It all seems obvious to me that, this was crystal-cear self defense, but 12 people in Wisconsin convicted the poor guy... I'd love to have a video of the judge, explaining WHY he feels that justice has been served.
Pretty sure its because he has white skin.
@@aamantium1 I completely agree!!!
@@seen69 you're not cool or funny
@@aamantium1 Watch the video of the vent closely and you can see that he actually pulls the knife before they push him down. He pulls it when that woman comes up and gets in his face, taking a swipe at him, and is just standing there holding it. To me, this suggests he didn't pull it out of fear for his life. I still think it could be self defense, but I think his already flimsy "fear for my life" argument is weakened by the timing of when he pulled the knife. I dunno.
That poor guy. My heart aches for him especially when they showed the picture of him with his dog. I don’t understand why his friends didn’t join him and back him up. English is not his first language and all that shouting must have been terrifying. Not guilty - self defense against a wild pack of feral, entitled and aggressive American teens.
I have yet to see one frame of this video of these kids looking scared.
Not one.
He wasn’t scared at all too
Haven’t seen one video of Miu looking scared…..
They were too busy having drunk fun beating on an old guy that they saw completely vulnerable to their attacks. Oops, I guess using another human being as your punching bag ain't the thing.

I'm British. How is it that a police officer can defend himself by shooting at a civilian who he deems poses a threat, but a civilian cannot defend himself?
What's the point of having the right to bear arms, if it is then illegal to defend oneself with those arms (including knife).
Well unfortunately my guy it is a constitutional right to own a firearm but state laws are governing the right to exercise that right of self defense to an extent in most states that aren't stand your ground states.
Those "kids" got their friend killed.
Agreed.
100%
And the kid that died had his hands around Nic’s throat, not knowing he had a knife.
Jail for life.
Real big facts
These kids need to be charged and used as an example to all kids in the US to not fck around, bully and find out.
All of them teenagers I don’t care 17 or not they all in specially the black one he enticed a riot on that poor man calling that man a pedophile calling him a rapist OK he did all that mouthing off starting with that poor man because he wanted to make a video so you can sell it on the Internet all of them should be charged with assault he’s being charged they all should be charged to

@@brentmardon7528exactly 💯
@@brentmardon7528They're clearly not children. I highly doubt you'd see some of these guys and refer to them as that. They were big enough to pose a threat to this guy. You can take their side and empathize with them, but it still doesn't make them children.
Because even those these young people were the ones who instigated the attack, Miu technically escalated by pulling out a knife, and specifically because one of these individuals died from being stabbed. The state thinks Miu wasn't scared for his life and could have left the attack. And he did leave the scene of the crime after the stabbing, and lied to police about him being the one involved. Which is pretty sketchy. But... One could argue he thought the police wouldn't believe his story. I doubt he knew it was being recorded. Or he fled because he felt he was at fault. Idk. I'm personally torn in this case. It's clear to me that none of the stabbings would have taken place if these young people didn't start randomly and agressively calling him names like pedophile while surrounding him and taunting him, even making veiled threats. So that's on them. They could have simply left him alone. However it's hard to know if Miu truly feared for his life. Like I do wonder if it's possible that he wasn't truly afraid UNTIL the guys started punching and knocking him down in the water (while having him surrounded), and then at that point he couldn't escape. It's hard to say. But I can definitely see myself in that position and being afraid I'm gong to get knocked out and drown. Or that one or a couple of the guys would hold my head under and drown me. I mean in fairness you have no idea what someone is going to do to you in that situation. Just like these young guys didn't know Miu would pull a knife. I wish I could see in Mius head and know what he was thinking. If he REALLY thought he was going to die if he didn't use the knife, then if course he should be let free. But if he didn't, he needs to be found guilty. The problem is figuring out which is the case. I feel like I'll have a better idea when I see his testimony. I've learned how to read body language so I'm very curious to see his responses.
@@user-db9yd6vz9r brainless sheep
Looks like a free lesson to all the young people out there who haven't been disciplined by their parents.

100 percent
That’s not reality when people float the river.
Seems to me that none of this would have happened if the adult kept walking back to his group rather than returning to face a group of drunk teenagers because his feelings were hurt.
The state of the US is dreadful. No common decency. Kids now conditioned to handle things with. violence instead. Parental guidance is all but gone. The so called adult only worsens it nice role model bi*bo!
Tell me you've never floated a river without telling me you've never floated a river. 90% of any adult who floats a river is drinking

Being alone and jumped by multiple attackers is scary enough. Being alone and jumped by multiple attackers in the water would be absolutely terrifying and would justify the use of deadly force. Parents, teach your children respect or they could end up like these kids some day.
But he wasn't alone. The group that he was with was only 20 yards away on the riverbank watching the whole thing go down. In fact he waved at them a few times gesturing for them to come over. Besides you don't pull a knife out on a bunch of kids in bathing suits
@@ber334 YOU are the problem with this world. Absolutely appalling
@@ber334 Those "kids" are stronger than he is and outnumber him, so he's losing that battle without a knife. How about don't assault random people in a river? I mean they were literally looking for a fight.
@@madness3840 so why didn't he walk away like they kept telling him to?
@@ber334xD they were peaceful kids and they got stabbed for no reason huh. Why do people like you exist. You serve no purpose encouraging kids to assult random strangers without consequences
The parents of these kids should be ashamed.
Amen.
Agree 100%
Yes!!! Unfortunately they are doing everything and saying anything to put the blame solely on Mr. Miu!!! 😩🤦🏽♀️
I agree
I’m sure the narcissistic parents have long since retreated into their ego-consciousness generated self delusion of how their perfect children were the innocent guiltless victims of a crazed psychopathic killer in this situation
These kids fucked around and find out. You cant just openly call someone a pedo in public for no reason and bully him and expect your day to go on fine. Parents are doing an awful job on this new generation.
It’s more so the media they take in, all rotten useless stuff that shape these kids into how they behave. When so many of the same unmannered children are in a group it only amplifies the rotten behavior.
The person recording was obviously trying to amp up the situation trying to instigate and provoke something to happen likely so they could get some kinda fight video, post it on the internet in hopes of getting internet attention. That instigating is what lead to that death. The kids friends killed him.
100% self defence. nicolae could have acted differently in many cases on many situations, but the GROUP of drunk teenagers attacked him first. it was self defence
This is definitely a case that should be used in schools to increase awareness of how bullying/harassment behaviours can escalate with life changing consequences. All that can be gained from this tragic event is that bullying/harassment of others is never ok and should be avoided. Clearly, respectful behaviours need to be a bigger part of what kids are taught at school and at home. Nothing good can ever come from bullying harassment no matter what the outcome.
Resilience to bullying aught to be taught as well. Mr. Miu exercised zero resilience that day.
Am I wrong? Is resilience to adverse outside forces a good thing?
An empowering thing?
Amen!
Well spoken and agreed.
Agreed
@@alveyjohn thanks 😊
SELF DEFENSE. kids shouldn't be drinking underage anywhere and causing trouble. Not a word has been said about a bunch of drunk, unruly kids with liquid courage to bully a grown man.
and adults - the 2 women that involved themselves and escalated.
Self defense indeed though I don’t think age & alcohol should be to blame.
Most of em are white lol
@@ethanberdejacortez4845 All of the Principals (Perp AND Vics) are Caucasian.Folx...
If it was self defense why did he act like nothing happened when police showed up? Why did he lie? He could have gotten not guilty if he would of made better decisions.
Ridiculous.They taunted him assaulted him.Our justice system is truly broken
Free this man, he does not deserve even a day in a jail.
Clear self-defense against assault
This was a clear case of F**k around and find out. Literally self defense
imagine stabbing a teenage girl, and calling it self defense. not to mention murdering a kid and almost murdering his friends. thats not self defense. thats a hateful scared man with murderous intentions
Exactly true statement
Ok well he got convicted so take that as you will
You're so fucking dense if you think this was self defense.
@@daddy_marx6823 What that means is that the justice system is broken
If they would have helped him find his phone instead of attacking him. None of this would have happened
they were blacked out and decided to make fun of him because they thought he looked stupid trying to snorkel in 2 feet deep water - when in actuality, he was using a snorkel to look for a friends phone. this is a perfect example of making literally nothing into something just because they wanted to
bully an old man
The Karen made the situation worse!
He didn’t say anything to them after they asked him multiple times. How would they know? All they got is a drunk weirdo lingering around them
Get real!
@@wigglethemiddle1I can't believe nobody gets that. In the video they asked him numerous times what he was doing and he did not even respond at all. So then out of frustration they started telling him to leave and go away but he wouldn't even explain himself and that's why they started all that yelling and screaming especially when the other group came over and then it was two groups telling him leave and he just would not leave almost like he did not understand a word they were saying
FREE THIS MAN
the way he describes his dog 😢
This man didn’t go out that day to harm anyone 😢
So heartbreaking
Agreed. This is heartbreaking injustice for this man.
he killed people wdym "free this man" the way he murdered those people where disgusting. did you not hear the details on the injury they had?!?! it's insane ppl like you would want someone like thus out and free.
"Miu's sentencing date has not been scheduled. Anderson said Miu could face up to 97 years in prison." 97 years for self-defense?! What is wrong with you USA?!
I hope Maddison and Riley feel shame for the dead, the injured and what they put this man through.
Amen sue, amen!!
Same, but unfortunately doubt they do. Probably saying they are the victims.
They won’t
I doubt these kids feel any remorse. They don't understand that they actually caused their friend to die. These kids know nothing of reflection as you can see from their testimony.
They won't. They never will. To them, they're in the right. They think they deserve to be able to make false accusations and whoever they falsely accuse should suffer the death penalty.
They will view his acquittal as a miscarriage of justice.
This guy shouldn't be on trial
Agreed!
That crackhead looking woman and the teens should be on trial
At the end of the day, He's a killer.
I'm so encouraged to see people not buying every slanderous accusation. But instead doing some homework to find out for themselves. Thank you Johnny Depp❤
@@GoodisBest4u
Killing and murdering are 2 different things....shame on that mob of nasty teens!
Edit: I saw a video that wasn't shown -- they ALL acted wrong. Nicolae did creep them out first. He walked right up without saying anything, and grabbed and felt around the theirs tube while they were still in them. I can see why they felt he was creepy, it was like he was trying to touch them. However, they reacted terribly by bullying him, and so did the woman that yelled at him to leave. Now I understand why she wanted him to leave, he looked like a creep that walked up to the boys. But they all got physical with him, everyone involved handled this badly.
(Original post before seeing the new video): Let me get this straight. This man was just looking for a lost phone. They didn't like this man coming near their little area, when he slipped and grabbed one of their tubes to catch himself, they said "You've got 10 seconds", warning him to leave the area. They didn't ask what he wanted, they just didn't like the look of him. Then they made up a lie about him looking for girls and started taunting him by saying it out loud. He walked away from them to ask the other woman of she saw a phone, and she immediately told him to leave without listening to him. She was verbally harsh with him, then she pushed him, and the teen agers surrounded him. Perhaps he pushed her back, and the teenagers pounced on him. he used his knife to defend himself. Does that sum this up this s show?
Actually, they kept asking him what was going on and he wasn't being responsive. He eventually said something but it wasn't clear. He was weirding them out, I mean come on, the video starts with him jumping on the tire raft >.>
Of course jumping him was too much, but it's unfortunate the camera doesn't catch the initial assault. Not that it matters, because no ones actions is technically justified.
@@albertobey13 they revealed in court that he told them he was looking for a phone. The teens made up the little girls thing, the police confirm that was never reported to them by any of the teens.
Poor guy.
When he is finally released from this, I hope he sues all of their rich parents.
I'm 36, so I'm not young but not old either, but at least when I grew up in the 90s, we were taught to respect people, especially older folks. Young adults these days are unhinged and get surprised when people fight back.
They always have their phones ready to record everything, so they believe that no one will dare to stand up to them. Unfortunately, they are often right about that.
Yep agree 100%. I posted this above and I am also around your age, definitely kids are different now I know because I have a few and see it in their schooling and social media. My kids are told straight when they get out of line or come home with some bullsheite they were 'taught' at school....
I think the comments show how this trial will go.. It's looking like 90% for self defence. Little sh1ts parents should be ashamed.. Kids have no consequences now a days amidst all this woke bullcr4p. I'm honestly surprised one of the group isn't trans or they them... Now that would be confusing in cross examination "where you them they there at the time of the stabbings sir/madam"
Yeah when we were young, we would have helped the old man find his phone. Honest to God this is insane 😢
Maybe because older adults do nothing but call young people lazy when they’re deeply struggling.
I'm 39 and the dude never fought... I think he wanted to stab somebody and baited them. His life was never in danger he just got smacked up a lil bit. Learn how to fight and he could've easily ko'd a couple of those kids..
As far as this case goes......the kids who were gaining up and beating him down into the river should all be prosecuted. An old man looking for for a cellphone in the river who gets shouted down and bully by a bunch of teenagers has the right to self-defense. WHERE IS HIS CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO SELF-DEFENSE WHEN GETTING BEAT DOWN BY A MOB?????
I think we all need to determine what self defense is technically I mean getting pushed and shouted at but is self defense in this case really stabbing 4 people? That’s alittle nuts. Anyways. I still agree every single person in this needs charged
He certaintly didn’t deserve 1st degree murder like he got wonder how many years he will get
@@StephanieJo219 Hindsight is always 20/20. But when you are dealing with ppl who are severely and obviously under the influence of drugs and alcohol...all bets are off. People under the influence are stronger, more brazen, and unpredictable. Ask any police officer.
If he looked and sounded like ‘a good old country boy’ I am pretty sure the outcome would have been different. America is not safe or fair towards anyone who appears to be an immigrant. Those drunken bullies may not have escalated like Lord of the Flies, and the judge and jury would have seen things differently. Instead those jailbait drunken louts got off Scot free, while Mr Miu lost absolutely everything. I feel sorry for him mistakenly thinking, that America was his home, and a safer place to make his life.
@@dragonbone5000 💯
Shame on this manipulative prosecutor and shame on the jury for having no common sense
This case is very disturbing. What we effectively have is a man surrounded by a MOB who acted in self-defence and unfortunately a fatality and injuries occurred
I don't know how any juror looking at the footage can't see what is glaringly obvious.
Mr Miu should be treated with significant leniency in this context. I would say he should be acquitted but that won't happen.
I am from the UK and we have had too many cases of teenage gangs killing people who stood up to them.
Rude, disrespectful, drunk kids, finding someone to bully. I feel so sorry for Mr. Miu.
Don't feel that sorry for him. He lied to the police a million times about really really important things. That is called consciousness of guilt. He is no angel in this
What a sicko empathising with a psycho
@@suzettesundae7903 he can lie all he wants , the video is the absolute truth 😂
I know, after watching the video I actually felt sick to my stomach. That mob mentality was terrifying. It’s actually awesome he had the skills to protect himself, I probably would have froze and been mauled by those kids
He started it and then he stabbed 5 people because he wanted to, plain an simple. He hated those kids. He didn't have any legitimate reason to approach those young people, he went on his own, and stayed on his own. Fuck him. He should rot in prison where he belongs. He set up that whole situation hoping for a confrontation.
They acted as a predatory pack against this man
One comment said, " blood thirsty hyenas".... and they did more than just " act".
You are right.
If you're making the case that him stabbing/killing is not his fault, you are not seeing the facts clearly.
He’s guilty man- watch his interrogation with the police. So so many lies. Says “I heard I match the description of the guy stabbing?” Ridiculous
@@sciencenate he lied cause he thought he was going to get in trouble .... without a shadow of a doubt tho from watching the video that was justified self defense
@@sharon94503 If you make the case he did it on purpose, you obviously didnt see the video.
I notice people like you on the side of the youth didnt even take the time to watch the video.
I was skeptical until I saw it. It was self defense. No different than Rittenhouse case.
These comments give me all the assurance i need to know I CANNOT be the only one who feels like this guy was RAILROADED for some underage drunken thugs who couldnt see the worse possible outcome that THEY were provoking. I feel terribly sorry for this man, release him! He should sue for every penny he can get for this unlawful imprisonment
Those teens need to be charged before this is over.
Just think If those kids would have been helpful and nice to a man that was clearly way older than them instead of using him as entertainment. I think if this was my dad and it breaks my heart.
I wondered the same thing. Why so hostile? Why not a compassionate response like, "Hey! Let us help you find your friend's phone." They probably led him to believe that they had his friend's phone just to mess with him.
… they thought he was being a pervert
@@HeraclitusThoughtBubblesNo. That was just the most foul comment they could come up with. There was no basis for any of it. What they started and did, was nefarious from the beginning.

That’s why he should not have invaded a group of people space

You clearly haven't watched the video., Go watch it. You are wrong.
Who was on this jury? How the hell can you all find him guilty after video evidence shows him being surrounded, bullied and attacked? Wtf is going on
I thought the same thing until I noticed he pulls the knife right after that woman walks up and takes a swipe at him. He's standing there holding it for a good 20 seconds before they push him down. They just didn't notice it. I'm not sure why, but that makes me less favorable to it being self-defense. I originally thought it was, because I thought he pulled the knife while being attacked and pummeled in the river.
the problem with these corrupt courts is they're supposed to be a jury of your PEERS.
people that ALREADY KNOW YOU.
not random strangers...
I still dont understand why they would go for a 1st degree murder charge. 🤦♂️
When you disembowel someone, it isn't self defense.
@@robboidI think they are talking about him going free bc it’s first degree murder when they would have a better chance at a guilty verdict with 2nd degree murder charged.
@@robboid room temp iq take
It was
Yeah I think it was self defense
As someone who has some training in knife defense, I find this case disturbing. That I could go to prison for murder after defending myself from an attack by a handful of men their prime…. Awful. Kids these days will kick someone’s head in for fun.
It’s the same thing that happened to Kyle Rittenhouse. Even in a swarm of people the only people that got hurt or killed were the people that actively tried to hurt someone. In Kyles case he was more controlled than most cops are with their weapons and yet they still choose to put these people on trial.
They were obviously recording it so they could take it to social media and get likes for bullying a perfectly innocent man. The prosecutor is a piece of shit for his questioning as well. Bullies all around.
@@scrapmanindustriesI honestly think Kyle being found not guilty, and the public reaction to that, is why he was found guilty. But this obviously isn't such a high profile case that would cause riots if found not guilty
he stabbed a girl that weighed maybe 130 pounds soaking wet, brought a knife while chasing the group down, and pulled the knife out prior to stabbing at random. He then dumped the knife and changed clothes, lied to police about knowing there was a stabbing at all. The guy is a murderer.
Nobody wins in a knife fight. Defense or not.
Put the disrespectful kids on trial. They attacked him.
Absolutely not. The jury didn’t get this right. Perfect example of “ fucking around and finding out”
Self defense. He should be acquitted. Madison and Riley escalated the situation. Especially Madison. She should be charged for starting a riot.

@@loohan32in this case yes
@@weewee9464don't be daft lol every kid has had a drink underage and been stupid. Nic was the first aggressor he deserves jail
@loohan32 most of the pro Miu comments I’ve seen seem to be people in their 50’s or 60’s demanding ‘respect’ and calling the boys bullies. In their world, after their ego has been questioned, the ‘bullying’ deserves physical violence. Miu said so himself in the interrogation video his ego was hurt and he couldn’t let them get away with that. Also, most of these boomer/ gen x commenters are hypocrites, because they were legally able to drink at the age of 18, and most drank before that age as well. I’ve also noticed people mad Miu didn’t wait for a lawyer in interrogation even tho his rights had been read to him and as a 52 year old adult man should’ve known better, and told lie after lie anyway. It seems they wanted him to get a lawyer to I don’t know, lie better? No wonder this country is going downhill, it’s ran by adult babies that don’t even know their own rights.
Old man who is getting outside activity after a heart surgery gets jumped and he defends himself. I've never seen such an obvious self-defense situation.
Insane that a group of 10+ drunk people can swarm a guy, screaming, shoving, and punching. But then when it doesn’t go their way they are considered the victims.
Swarm of coyotes going for the kill of an aged pit bull
I think of him as a Russian bear. They kept poking the bear and got mauled.
Taking the stand actually helped himself. I actually feel sorry for him.
Minding his own business and kids attack.
Same, because he was just chilling with his friends. I doubt he went out there to stab anyone that day. Makes no sense. Leave people alone. Those imbeciles should have left him alone.
exactly
Bahaha Minding his own business...hilarious!
What about when he ran up and grabbed the girls intertube though? He had the opportunity to not engage, he made many grave mistakes that day. May God have mercy on his soul.
@@user-ee4pf3zz7dhe’s not guilty. Laugh all you want, but if there’s a day when you need to defend yourself in similar circumstances remember this moment.
FINALLY we get to find out what started the confrontation.
sorry, but this is bullying and self defense. This man was pushed to his limit and was ridiculed by this group, when he was just searching for his phone. He should be free, and those kids should be serving time.
at the end of the day it's a lose lose situation for both parities.
Yes. A sad day indeed.
Absolutely.
Cockfield started it all
Yep. I think the kids should be found liable for the death. They instigated it and it never would have happened if they didn't engage old boy like they did.
Yeah, pretty much.
Being chronically ill and also being older like he is I cannot help but sympathize with this guy. I know what he is talking about when he says his heart is racing and breathing is also racing. This is dangerous for a man with ill health...especially a heart condition. I can also relate to the tunnel vision. This man was in panic mode as he was being attacked in every possible way. His panic level drove him to do what he did. Watching the video makes me so uncomfortable...my heart breaks for his wife and little dog too. Teach your kids not to bully others and to respect older people. So much tragedy in this case. The 2 women who confronted him and caused all this problem should be ashamed.
Don’t leave out the ringleader, Cockfield, who started all of this with the name calling, inciting the mob, and filming him “for the culture!”
The kids n the women Should be jailed.
But his ego got involved he should of left, but sweet justice, he a foreigner too now I understand why he couldnt let those insults roll off
He didn't stay for ego. He merely froze. The more calm he was, the more they pressed him and surrounded him
IF HE WAS THAT FEART WHY DID HE WALK OVER THEN CHARGE AT THEM,
Where are the charges for everyone else? Since he’s now guilty of murder, where’s the charges for everything done to him?
THESE KIDS SHOULD NOT OF TOUCHED THIS MAN. SELF DEFENSE .
Even after his ordeal he refers to them as “Ladies” - how polite of him. They sure didn’t act like ladies!
Id straight crack up if he just blurted out “them hoe ass bitches”
One of them really asked for being screwed.
@@Elo-hv3fwevery member of that group seemed mean, intoxicated, and thought it would be funny to call the man a peedo , then proceeding to go full caveman and start wailing on him and shouting and I swear in the video one of those idiots tried holding him face down in the water in a (frankly pathetic) attempt at drowning him, those kids should be accountable
EXACTLY!!!! I thought "what ladies - I sure didn't see any 'ladies'"!!!!!!!!
He hit the young lady. Is that noble 🤔
The reason everything was on video is because they were filming the episode to create a Tic-toc video. They wanted to humiliate Mr. Miu so they could post the video on Tic-toc and have it go viral. I think the boys were "playing" to the camera but then things got out of control.
And he had to know that at the time and knew running was the wrong thing, he had to clarify himself , that film would have ruined him
this man was mob attacked ..SELF DEFENCE ALL DAY LONG !!!
This case needs to be investigated. Justice was not served here
Zero
These kids were having a blast trying to scare this guy and accusing everyone was screaming laughing and recording until they found out they didn’t have the upper hand like they thought they did
They f*cked around and found out real quick.
Yeah those thugs were acting all tough, after that dude got stabbed, they all started screaming like little girls 🤣🤣
he's going to jail, is my bet.
They played a huge part, yes, but he initiated the encounter.
And he stuck around.
can't claim self defense when you initiate the encounter and put yourself into that situation like he did and end up using lethal force.
@@ShastaBean
What a joke. I was the one who informed you just recently that your comment you left over a year ago about this case was vindicated by the released video, wherein you rightly wrote that your gut instinct that the young adults were the ones to be at fault. You responded asking a question about if there was proof that they attacked him first or if Nic attacked them first, because you hadn’t any idea about the case these days. And now, some few odd hours later, you’re suddenly an expert on the case with the total opposite opinion, when you clearly haven’t had enough time to watch much of the trial at all. WHAT A JOKE, PAL! Your claims here are WRONG!
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 lol @ "expert".
Typically I won't respond when someone feels the need to resort to insults, btw.
I heard his testimony and it made me ascribe enough blame to him for being in their area that he should receive lesser charges.
The kids were wrong with how they escalated things. No doubt about that.
But he was wrong for encroaching in their area.
The problem for him is he had a lethal force tool.
You can't roll up on 8 toughs on a street corner and start probing questions and snooping around and then when they get annoyed and tell you to go away, you just stick around grabbing at their feet and bags. And then another group comes in and tells you also to go away and you still remain and then when shouting and shoving starts you start spraying ammunition all over the place. That's not how self-defense works. He should have removed himself from the encounter he put himself into.
He also admitted to taking a swipe at the 1st girl.
Also, hearing his interrogation? He lied about the source of the knife...because he knows what it means to bring that into the encounter.
Well, one thing for sure. One of those "kids" will never bully or attack anyone else, ever.
you got that right bro
A shame the others might
Sick bastard
Decided to fuck around with a Romanian who lived during Ceaușescu’s regime and found out.

Doesn’t excuse a grown man stabbing kids
This man went to the river to spend time with his family and friends. Decided to help a friend who lost his phone. Then a bunch of drunk and high punk kids started yelling at him vulgar stuff, a Karen from hell gets involved without knowing what was going on, who also started touching him, then he gets jumped by the kids. Surrounded by over a dozen people, half of which were young full grown teens, being repeatedly hit and pushed back into the water, he fight back. And it worked. They backed off and he saved his own life. But the system failed him. He has lost the remainder of his life to prison.
People like Madison annoy me so much. When she showed up she could have de-escalated the situation but instead completely enable what happened. Typical daddy’s girl who’s had absolutely no adversity in her life and wants everything her way.
all those teens and young adults involved ruining this man’s life should be charged
I ran into a similar group on that river. Frightening drunks and stupid.
And that's why all of them are lying. They are afraid of tables turning on them. Mr.Miu walks away and has all of the reasons to come after them.
...right. They are all culpable for their mass bullying.
your mom should be charged for bringing an actual idiot into this world.
You are all seriously delusional.
My heart breaks for the kids parents that lost their son, but the reality is the son‘s mouth and his friends got him killed. This man is innocent. He was attacked by a mob and he defended himself. Charges need to be pressed against the kids, young adults, and anyone else Including the individual that purchased the alcohol? This case is a sham, the DA that pushed for the charges needs to audited and be held financially responsible. It’s clear the DA bow to public concern rather than facts.
Now watching scene by scene how the matter was escalated, it really puts clear picture…both sides guilty..but surely the man’s patience was tested and reached its limits..ultimately a kid lost his life rests injured and scarred for life..
Nobody put their damn hands on the old vampire !
