Woman records on her phone as strange man stalks her through downtown Vancouver
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 бер 2021
- A Vancouver woman is speaking out about a frightening experience after she was followed closely by a strange man for more than half an hour.
Jamie Coutts filmed much of the encounter and said her stalker didn’t appear phased by the camera at all.
Coutts said in retrospect she should have phoned police, but that in the stress of the moment her priority was getting somewhere safe and staying ahead of her pursuer.
Coutts has since reported the incident to Vancouver police, who say they are investigating.

She has a guy stalking her, so let's use her first and last name in the interview, and describe her neighborhood. Genius.
And her routine 🙄
Sometimes the media zre just plain dumb
I swear the media does it intentionally
As if he doesn't already know? Also it's all information that is easy to find as it is in public records.
Also you are assuming they didn't even ask her for permission to post her name, which they obviously have to do.
@@Disableddonkeys88 ok, next time you see a random stranger you know nothing about, I challenge you to find their name and place of residence based off of only what they look like with public records😑
The fact that he stopped and stood there while she asked to sit with those people. I felt panicked for her. Terrifying.
So creepy
Yes, someone that oblivious or uncaring about what others thought of him standing there, is proof that he's extremely dangerous because he will do harm without the fear of being caught. The police should have this A-hole already locked up somewhere.
He was deliberately trying to intimidate her ... he didn't seem to care that he was being filmed
Craziness!
shes just vlogging with her new boyfriend but she was so flustered by him and she had a mini karen metldown
He’s done this before. You can tell. He was prepared. He was wearing dark clothing, a mask that covered nearly his entire face, and wore clothing that didn’t have labels or identifying, distinctive markings. What’s even more terrifying is that Vancouver, Canada is only a skip away from Oregon or Seattle - which is in the United States. He could be traveling between the two countries (more so, probably before covid) - for work, or maybe he has family in-between the two countries, etc - and targeting women in the United States as well, making him even harder to catch. He was dead-set on this young woman… almost in a trance-like state. He was so fixated on her, and he was literally hunting her like prey. It‘s bone-chilling.
No lie bra
This happened to me once !!! And we both ended up cuddling 🥰 in bedroom together
Coranavirus.
It's people like him that make it a struggle to go out. Ugh.
@@pigtailsandteddybears5985 public sidewalk . All she had to do was call 911 you stupid feminist .!!!
I remember this incident. For anyone wanting to know who this guy is, his name is Mohammed Majidpour. He was stalking women around the area, with other people reporting being followed by him as well. He was caught placed on one year of probation....even though he had 30 charges of assault, etc, from 2016 to the present. Law enforcement really needs to take stuff like this more seriously.
And they let him out to terrorise ppl
Huh thanks for the update, I am not surprised at all. You never see a computer geek doing something like this.
There need to be bipartisan solutions to crime instead of the same cycles repeated over again.
Do we just build more prisons to house the incorrigible as well as the mentally ill?
He is clearly following her. He even stopped and waited for her at the skate park. She was smart to video record and find a group of ppl. Thank goodness she's safe.
Her walking on a public sidewalk is not illegal, if it's not illegal for her why would it be illegal for anyone else, that's a scary thought
@@PurpleObscuration what are you talking about
@@PurpleObscuration Because he was following her in circles for what she sais to be 40 minutes.
He has following her glad she he following other women
@@dinomacak1842
Could you rephrase that, it doesn't make much sense.
Wow. Dude even stopped when she stopped to talk to the group of people at skate park. What an ABSOLUTE freak man
Yes just stay home.
@@m.t.1616 nah fam that dude got paid to stalk her that's y he let be shown he was following her .it's called gang stalking been happening for years nothing new
Yes bad bad energy !!! His intentions was to harm her. Omg
The whole video looked set up to me (the guy clearly knew she was filming him because she had her arm raised to get that shot of him)🤔
Who knows it could of been legit BUT the lengths some folks will go to to get their 15 mins of fame is *Sickening*
Like that unwanted extra character who joined your party in those old rpg games
This is absolutely terrifying, some tips I have for if your ever are in this situation.
-Don’t go home
-Go into a public space with a lot of people around
-Don’t be afraid to make a scene, this could be your life on the line
-Try to get as much information on the person as possible
-Sit in a store and call the police without them noticing
Also have this gadget, I don’t know what it’s called but basically you can bring it with you and if you pull this string on it it makes a very loud sound. My mom gave it to me for when we go somewhere.
Crazy that I was the only person to upvote this and this isn't the top comment.
Carry
Yeah but the airhead walked around for 30 minutes instead of going into a building and asking for help. She sounds like an airhead too.
What do these guys thinks will happen? The lady will just say "oh my god, you've taken my breath away, I love being stalked... go ahead and take me to a hotel." Like really what?
They're sick in the effin head.
Well most of them tell you what they want to happen. The two guys that followed me told me they wanted my purse. And the other guy that followed me when I was underaged still...told me he wanted to take me out for coffee.
Have you heard of Mollie Tibbetts or the girl who was found in the water tank at the hotel in los Angeles?
He wasn't planning on, "wooing" her.
Luckily she was smart enough not to go home otherwise the stalker would've found out her home.
Absolutely.
Yes but she just said on TV that she lives in a small area and does all her shopping around there so he could easily wait for her again at the place he first saw her, like just constantly be at the same grocery store etc. So creepy.
Plus, they just stated her first and last name and it's super easy to Google or find out where people live with just that little bit of information, geez... poor girl
@@ericag5346 Yeah. Maybe he already knows where she lives? I hope the police find him before something bad happens. They at least have a reason to take him in for questioning.
Unfortunately i was attacked during my walk around my neighborhood. i didn't go home but afterwards a couple walked by and said they thought we were playing bc they had seen him following me. They didn't help or seem to care. i screamed for help i saw them from a distance and it was worse knowing they didn't even attempt to help me. It was terrifying. I'm glad i didn't go home i was afraid he'd find me later. He was arrested and charged w attempt assault. His was 17 charged as adult. It could've been the little girls up the road but it was as me. I've been traumatized from it and i don't go out much since and if I do it's never alone and constantly watching my back.
Why did he just stand around and wait while she was talking to those people? That's the creepiest part. He wasn't even trying to pretend that he wasn't stalking her.
@MrFourkinghell Why do you say that?
@@sarahwaters8262 he says that because he's a PC male who thinks everything is about himself
@MrFourkinghell prove it was stage, and maybe we would actually take you seriously
@MrFourkinghell some people are just that creepy.
This type of people takes pleasure in making the other person uncomfortable, it gives them a feeling of power. In addition to the certainty of impunity. That's why they don't hide.
I FEEL HER! 😭 I used to worked the night shift at my old job since I went to college during the day & I would get off at around 1:30 am. One night I parked my car in the drive way but my foot was still in the break so I was able to see a silhouette move behind my car. After I waited and saw no one I walked inside my house. Minutes later a man was throwing rocks at the window which woke up my Mom up. She opened the window & told him she would call the cops if he didn't leave. Holding a ROPE he said he wouldn't leave until I left because he had been following me all this way from my job site. After a couple minutes of moving the rope creepily through his fingers and demanding I leave with him, he got into a car ... he was the passenger and I was able to see another man was driving. It still terrifies me to think about the "what if" scenario....The fixation and determination in him was pure evil, it looked like things that only happen in movies.
So many creeps allowed to walk around freely in our societies. Most of the time they have a ton of priors. But repeatedly being let out again time and time again.
Did you let the police know? What do they do in such situations?
You should go with him to get a chance after 9 months
OMG I'm in California and this same thing happened to me. I was walking my dog around the block and this one-eyed guy was on the ground after I passed him he stood up and followed getting closer and closer just like this guy. When I stepped off the sidewalk for him to walk around he didn't he stayed behind and stopped until I started walking then he followed again! I didn't have my phone. I managed to get to an AM/PM and this man and woman gave me a ride home I was scared to even talk to them but they saved my life! That guy stopped just like this guy too. So scary, I did report it to the police and will always have my phone now and pepper spray. I called cops when I got home and made a report, I haven't seen him around anymore. Thank goodness Hope he was caught.
His body language and attitude says it all. He is not a random stalker who backs off. She is lucky to get back home.
@Marissa Lopes Yes, that is exactly the reason he didn't flinch. He has done it before and is confident enough to cover up his tracks. I fear there are more victims who have been not lucky enough to tell the story.
Finally someone who caught on to the body language. He's not a stalker. He's trying to investigate and she knows it so she recorded it. Don't do drugs y'all.
@@ThePenTheSword joke
@@namechange4103 I know right this whole viral video is hilarious. "I didn't call the cops cause I was too scared" 🤣😅 She didn't call the cops because she was scared they'd find the pills in her bra.
@@krissiecreates Police investigate themselves and find nothing. How much investigation do you think is necessary for this non violent, non confrontational, following behavior. Zero is the answer. Tell her to carry something if it happens again this time call us before you adjust your clown face and go for tik tok. Millennials 🤡
The fact that she walked 40mins with that crazy behind her, I would’ve walked into the next store ASAP
@CheapoBrand FruitPunch because walking behind someone is not a crime?? Also maybe it’s people like you who make it harder for other people to be honest about an uncomfortable situation 😑
common since is rare ..Facebook live or stop a 🚗 at a red light asap .not no 40 min 🚶
I don’t understand that💁🏽♀️
@@heyitssanj So well said! Even with her video, the police is waiting for other cases that might be linked, so that if she had only a 10-minute footage and ran into a shop for safety, and called the police, no one would have taken her seriously.
@CheapoBrand FruitPunch If she wanted attention, she just would have started a UA-cam channel on make-up or Hollywood gossip. She would have 20k followers in less than no time. But this is serious.
Smart, good thinking!! AND Thank you for sharing!!!!
Some creep followed me into the grocery store and stalked me around in the aisles until I turned around and looked at him dead in the eyes and said “are you really going to keep following me around?” He said “oh! yeah.. I’m sorry” and then walked away. Guy was a creep he looked whacked out on something I have no idea what.. stay safe out there. Sometimes you have to confront them to let them know you’re no ones prey.
The reason the guy didn't care that he was being recorded was because he's wearing a mask which will make it harder to identify him.
laetus eramus!
Oh look its captain obvious, well done sir you deserve a medal
Rdr 2 vibes
Then there needs to be a new mask developement distributer where people can wear clear mask
@@cmj199318 how
Eew. When she calls him out, he see's her pointing at him, and just stands there. This is scary, im concerned for her safety.
Me, too. What a weido.
That’s what you get for wearing masks, your health and safety are violated.
With or without a mask, these creeps have always been around. We’re in a world where you constantly have to watch your back, and make smart decisions. It’s so sad, and super scary.
@@DX-d Actually, I feel safer in a mask. It makes it harder for creeps to identify *me*
@@BandlerChing And harder for you to identify the creeps 😎
This happened to me in traffic. A man on a motorcycle started following me in my car. I drove around to see if he was really doing it. He smiled at me. I was terrified, and he could see that I was upset. I drove to a friend's house, a man, and when he ran out to approach him, the guy drove off. If I had been in foot, I would have been shaking.
@अनिश् I think I will. People also forget to use turn signals and how to properly pass. I think that cameras will probably be put on newer cars like the Tesla has. It has become necessary.
Why didn’t she call the cops right away?
What’s scary is how he stopped walking when she stopped and just stood there.
Lock n load
Not scary. Interesting. Look closer.
@2 Crazy man 😂☺️
@@katjaseifert7914 why look closer ?
Too bad there was no real man there and just some stupid kids
Anyone reading this keep in mind that in situations like these, there is never shame in causing a scene. Don’t be afraid to just run into a store or sit with a safe looking group of strangers, even tell if you need to. Don’t be worried what people will think because what matters most is your safety
Yes! Ik a lot of people get afraid of causing a scene but you should do it!! It's not embarrassing, it's harassment and a crime and should be reported.
Go to the cops like you're supposed to. She put innocent people at risk with her behaviour.
@@cockoffgewgle4993 Yeah 'cause the police station is always closeby, and cops will come running if a woman says "someone is walking behind me"...smh. She did the right thing.
@@lindaliriel "and cops will come running if a woman says "someone is walking behind me"...smh."
Um. Yes. They will.
She did the right for herself. Not for the males she demanded to protect her without their consent.
@@cockoffgewgle4993 this was probably the fastest way possible to protect herself. She did the right thing as the police station probably wasn’t even near her. Which explains why she went by people and not to the police station. And she never demanded the guys to protect her. They could’ve said no. They’re big boys.
I had a similar experience happen to me in Philly. My parents were visiting me in college. My mom and I went shopping in center city when this guy just showed up in front of us. At first we were polite and said excuse us/hello. Then he continued to follow us around the store. Specifically he was following me around the store and kept making these creepy smiles at me. I started to panic and my mom who had enough and went to tell the dude to leave me alone. Mind you, my mom is small Colombian woman and this was full grown man. Even after that he still continued to follow me around. I’ve decided that I would just leave the store and go directly to my dad who was a few blocks at the Ben Franklin historical society. The came out the store and continued to stalk me down on Main Street. Btw this was in broad daylight, in the middle of downtown. I feared he’d try to kidnap or worse so I went into this random corporate building. What was crazy was the guy was standing outside the door so I’d be trapped inside. Finally I told the security guard about what was going. When confronted, the creep had the nerve to say I was his wife or something. Luckily the security guard didn’t believe him and made the creep get on the next bus and leave the area. The whole ordeal lasted about 30 min but to me at that time, felt like decades of torture and fear.
40 minutes??? Bruh, I would've went into a shop and told employees about him after 5 minutes... There definitely were empty roads and sidewalks within a span of 40 minutes, and he could've done something to her without anyone seeing.
I know. I've been subject to all kinds of stuff like this when I was younger. That is what I did.
Jesus he just stands there when she literally says " this guy is following me". Ugh so scary, i hope he is apprehended soon.
@@daffymax8456 who is drew spence?
Yep scary af
And what is scary is wearing a mask is now the new norm.... Cannot properly identify him. uhhh. Not cool...Not cool at all.
Fake lol
Something like this happened to me years ago. A young teenage kid kept walking along beside me and touched my breaststroke. He wouldn’t go away even when I went up the drive of a house where there was a man washing his car whom I told about it. He just stood there. That’s just one incident.
The fact that he stopped when she got with people and only left once directly approached by a good samaritan is pretty wild. That's scary.
ok
He prolly just wanted to offer her a bagle 😂
@@Firesword4 she doesn't need no bagle,she went to the store and bought more bagles than he could afford,on a serious note he is really creepy,he just stood there waiting for her,imagine if it was late in the evening with no people around? Just start walking towards the police station,wish there was a clear view of who he is so people should be careful around him
@@Rhodah_Musonda masks are going to make this problem more frequent.
@@Rhodah_Musonda i highly doubt she bought more bagels than he could afford. At minimum she would need a massive sack slung over her shoulder to carry them as bagels are quite cheap for their size/weight
THANKS A LOT, LINCOLN!
I’ll Love To Get My Hands On Him ‼️
He doesn't care he's being recorded because he's wearing a mask. That makes identification a lot harder.
Get rid of mask I say
@@illusorytrutheffect I'm all for that!
@@boomer7004 I say it's not a gun problem, but a problem with crime and evil. You can't punish the many law abiding citizens because of a few bad apples.

@@Invalid06 you can own guns, you just can't use them to protect yourself. As for pepper spray....it's illegal. We are supposed to call the cops and hope they get there on time.
Yeah but the sad thing is most people get their guns taken away from them and used against them by the criminal
@@angelacarter2974 when not trained and not practicing with it .... Yes sometimes
Thank goodness it was during the daytime
It's happening more and more, I'm in Jefferson, Tx and this happens too! All though the stores, even the train guys
That’s scary! I’m glad she found people to sit with and witness this. Stay safe
She 100% did the right thing.. document it BC police won't do anything without proof and to go to a public place and go to a group of people for help, safety in numbers. Glad she is ok
A bank is a good place to go. There's usually an armed guard there.
Exactly! I have recorded men doing this to me when I lived in nyc and no cops even cared. Let's change that right now. Ps. RIP Sarah Everard.
Calling the police would have been the right thing to do. If your life is in danger the police are the people to call they would have arrived in a minute to arrest this individual
@@sturbs87 sure... sure they would... like they didn't for me and hundreds of other women

Why didnt she call the cops for following her for 7 blocks?!
@@tinvo368 she said she reported it.

good job on the womans situational awareness and taking action! ladies learn from this woman!
The way the dude just stood there while she was asking for help. He wasn't trying to stay under the radar or anything. Just blatant with his stalking. I hope they catch this guy.
That lack of shame or guilt tells you who she had to deal with. Glad she's fine now.
@Cabal Syndicate Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Something seems off about it
Dude. She made this all up. She paid that guy.
@@OakInch and where do you know this from?
@Cabal Syndicate bruh there’s crazy ppl in this world, this ain’t nothing new
The same thing happened to me in Berlin. Guy followed me for a few blocks, I went into a store, he went into the store. I went to the books, trying to lose him, he followed. Finally, I just stopped and asked him what he wanted. He asked me out. I told him I was married and he left. Most terrifying time of my life. Guys, please don't do this FFS. Women don't find it charming or seductive. It is stalking and creepy.
Exactly, he should have said "Excuse me" and said something, instead of stalking you.
interesting you say he followed you well at the end of the day he shouldn't be doing that but why didn't you tell him to stop following you or are you the type of woman that revels in making men sound and look creepy
i really like to know why you can't ask passers-by for help !???
people don't help each other in your city ????
you know that what he does is forbidden, so you have to ask for help, not to talk to him alone.
@@johnj.anthonymcquade6876 Yeah, and willingly put herself in danger? You don't know that man. You don't know his intentions. You don't know what he's capable of. You sound extremely naive and gullible, and honestly? Very immature as well. If a man is silently following you for 10 whole minutes and then proceeds to follow you into a store and into a specific section and doesn't give you space, you're not trying make him sound creepy. He is being creepy, and invasive, and if it's not on purpose and he's actually someone who'd do that with no bad intentions - well, then he is completely moronic and delusional and doesn't have an ounce of common sense. I know you're probably trolling, though... because I find hard to belive someone can actually be so idiotic as to suggest what you said 🤷♀️
@@recorrel actually it's not really forbidden, it's sort of a grey area. I don't think anyone would be charged with stalking, just because he followed you for a few blocks. She went into a store to get rid of him, and when that didn't work, she confronted him. I'd say, she did everything right here
Thank the Lord she's safe.
I was on a walk one day on my way back to my apartment at around midnight and there was this guy standing outside the front of the apartment complex I live at.
I made awkward conversation with him and he was being very rude and asking/demanding to use my phone, I think I lied and said it was dead or something (I don't remember exactly what I said). He said he was waiting for someone to pick him up and I was like "okay" and walked right back the way I came.
I walked 40 minutes out of my way around town just to try to avoid this man and get back to my apartment. He didn't follow me, and I wasn't terrified per se, but I think the fact that I walked 40 minutes out of my way to get to my apartment from the back way says everything about the caution AFABs automatically put into practice, just to avoid potential danger or confrontation from random men.
Even if he "wasn't a threat," I wasn't going to risk it.
this is really scary. it’s worse that these are only strangers and him following her even when she was telling people about him only shows that he doesn’t care who’s around. im scared for her
thanks for the likes 💯
Why didn't they unmask him and beat him up?! Disappointing!
@@ayeshak6822 most likely because it's illegal. but if that's how you feel about it then pickup a bat start bashing some skulls in.
@@ayeshak6822 yea and call the police to at least identify him
Wearing a mask makes them feel covered.I've been there too .new in South Africa and was followed and you.justbwamma walk father and get ronother people , I got into a shop.amd he got in and walked quickly past me through the exit door and felt so vulnerable. My sister had a guy literally running after her.its scary and police aren't usually fast enough so you just wanna move fast to where people are .
stalking, kidnapping, trafficking is on the rise for all young folks... scared for all young adults
He was brazen enough to continue to follow her into the skatepark and then just stand behind her while she talks to the group of skaters, as though he's her boyfriend just waiting for her to catch up with a friend she bumped into on the street. I'm enraged, and he makes my skin crawl.

Stalkers are literally the creepiest people ever, especially the ones who get filmed while doing it and don’t care
Looked like he had other plans, either to rob or worse. Good thing she found a group of people.
@Young Goodman Brown beeee beeee

Not a stalker. He's a cop following her to her car that's why he's so bold and stops short. What was she doing prior to this video? 🤔

@@jckirk77 yes they are
He stopped at the park when she asked to sit with them that's so creepy horrifying
I once had this experience too when I was returning alone from a class and out of blue two guys all in black started following me , I had walked two turns and they still are and that's when it's obvious that they are. They are becoming closer and I walked faster searching for places I could enter when I found a house which is locked from inside (thank God they don't have any Dog or something) and I run right after in their backyard and peek through a small hole , when I saw them entering and searching for me for a while..you never knew how much I felt scared and I continue to have those small prayers and they go eventually.
Only from that on , I realize how most girls who are being followed must have felt.
It's really unfortunate that every girl has to experience at least once in their lifetime.
Absolute freak. The way he just stood there was chilling. Hope he's caught.
at least he is protecting himself and others from covid....

I've been harassed by the same homeless person in front of the same Dollarama store. He was also panhandling in front of my old place of work. FYI I'm a guy, this homeless guy is intimidating and I'm not sure if he's an ex con or someone who is suffering from mental health issues, but I don't want to make assumptions. It's also good to keep your guard up too.
This is terrifying!
If ever you feel like someone is following you, forget about where you were initially going and why you were out. Instead go straight to a busy place with lots of people, just literally walk into a nearest place of employment (any shop, diy store, salon, solicitors, pub, fast food place, restaurant, or do what this woman did and go to a person or group of people), and straight away tell them that you believe someone is following you. It’s very important to tell someone straight away even in a busy place, because the person following you could still follow you, get next to you and hold a weapon threatening to harm you, if you don’t leave with them. If you’re in a residential area, look for people gardening or walking their dogs, or even knock on someones house that looks safe.
That's great advice James. Sometimes it's easy to forget you might be in a really dangerous scenario and try walking it off, it's not worth the risk or the stress.
Someone followed me for 30 mins and then she came up to me and told she has a crush on me and took my number and went away lol
@Sidemen AFTV Clips & More are you high? What do you mean by liar? Just because someone is following you doesn't means they have bad intentions
Yes, and if you're going to record, *livestream.* Do not record a regular video to your device. You need to livestream so that people know and see exactly what is happening in real time. my ex boyfriend was pulled over for a broken license plate light, and the cop punched him in the face (had to get reconstructive surgery on his cheek), and then tried to take his phone to delete the recording during the struggle. my ex was streaming to periscope, tho, so like 6 of his friends were watching at the time and already screen recording when things started to get heated. i have no doubt in my mind that officer would have deleted the video and lied about the entire thing.
Lol gardening? Ain't nothing but abandoned buildings where I live
Shout out to the skater chick too who chased the guy off. She was super brave. I'm glad this girl was able to find safety among them.
Personally I think one of the men should have stepped up, props for her for being so brave.
The only reason why she did anything is because there were a few guys there to back her up. Just being honest. The proof is in the fact that the guy was following a woman to begin with and the woman found security in the group of men at a skate park
Chick??
@@taxevasion0336 what’s the difference? A person stood up and that’s all that matters. Somehow a man is always to blame
@@Omar_05 I agree yeah a person stood up but with a woman being followed that could have escalated quickly and ond of the men should have been there. Also I'm a man myself
Poor bloke was probably trying to ask for directions home.
Ladies, trust your gut instincts. If you feel somebody is following you, it's because that is most probably true. If we are aware of our surroundings, we actually notice immediately if there is some kind of 'danger'. I had those situations twice in my life and wasn't afraid to ask for help. First time, I was walking home at 9pm, it was already dark, but I was only like 700m from my home. Not much ppl on the streets and there's a male coming towards me. Shortly after we crossed, he changed directions to follow me, so I immediately was alarmed. I would have jumped into the next taxi, but there weren't any. So I kept walking in hope's of somebody else coming up the street and luckily a couple came out of the sideways. I immediately walked up to them, told them this guy is following me and I would keep walking with them until he disappeared. Guess what, he changed directions with us again, so he WAS in fact following me. but sometime after that he disappeared, when he was gone, i was like 2km away from home, but finally felt safe to walk a different route home. Second time was at a train station, also quite late in the afternoon and there were strange ppl around, I suddenly felt very unsafe and walked up to a man who was older and looked quite rich and asked him, if I could accompany him while waiting... so: never be afraid or embarrased to talk to strangers to feel safe! You will never see them again anyway =)
The fact that he didn't care she was recording is scary. Hope they find him quick. He's def dangerous
They can find him all they want. He did nothing wrong. He can follow behind her walking all day long if they are both on public property
@@finishfirst4580 they can still look him up to see if it is a isolated situation or not
@@finishfirst4580 technically you can put a restraint order on him, due to multiple reports.
@@finishfirst4580 wdym nothing wrong LMAO he literally followed her everywhere
Masks are making people bold. So make sure you wear 3 at all times and change them all daily. Those shareholders need their second cash fix after the bump they got from the first mask hysteria sales.
The guy pulls down his hood to protect his identity when she was talking to that group of people. It’s obvious he’s aware enough to do so & knows what he’s doing is wrong, which makes this scarier because he’s calculating yet bold.
People talk about people like this like
"Oh, he doesn't know what he's doing... He's young... He needs to be educated on what's appropriate... etc..."
He knows what he's doing is wrong but knows that people will always cover for him if he is caught.
"She should cover up more... She shouldn't have been alone... She should carry pepper spray..."
People who say these things enable this behavior. It's so infuriating.
Obviously his plan was to keep following her until she got to an area where no one was around. You don't follow someone for 40 minutes just for the exercise. Thank goodness she was in Canada where most people are really nice and will not hesitate to help a stranger in trouble. Being followed by someone is probably one of the creepiest things on earth, because you can never go home because they are right behind you. He needs to be locked up..... because the next woman may not be this lucky.
@@anothermiddleschoolburnout8816 well never walk alone, Im a guy and I never do that. And thanks to JT it is illegal to carry pepper spray/taser/knife for self defense
exactly
@@anothermiddleschoolburnout8816 oh god😔
God bless her! So happy she is safe! However, I don’t feel the need should’ve put the part she spoke about living in a small neighborhood where she does most of her errands and is home most of the time. If this guy does want to attack this gives him some more information about her.
This is terrifying 😢
In a weird way, she’s fortunate to be in a busy city like central vancouver. Smaller coties can be really quiet and hard to find help so early in the morning... this is literally every woman’s nightmare
I agree! I live in Vancouver, it’s a good thing she was in the big city.
The reporter said early evening, not morning
Early evening, not morning.
I am a man and I have had similar experiences, this is not exclusive to women.
It's up to you to protect yourself. Be aware of your surroundings and never leave yourself vulnerable.
Like that girl Mollie Tibbetts killed by a guy who followed her while she was jogging in rural Iowa.
The fact he wasn’t even afraid of being filmed scares me so much more. We were told as a kids to record them to scare potential attackers off and I’ve used that tactic before but the he seemed so unbothered and honestly kinda crazy and I don’t like using that word often
he wasn't scared because he planned to destroy her phone after he does what he wants with her
He was wearing a mask so he wasn’t scared
Mask 🥴
He has a mask lol
As many others stated, he would have destroyed her phone, thus the recording is gone. And if he doesn't catch up to her, she can't really identify him the next time he tries this. He has a mask on.
He is also more than likely going to change his clothes, this isn't a cartoon where people use 1 outfit for Generations.
He is able to be brazen for these SPECIFIC reasons. It makes it harder to see who he is.
And now that he is everywhere I am sure he will keep a low-profile for now.
She could have tied him up with her spider leg eyelashes and ran away instead.😁😁
Lmao
Ewww, gross why would anyone stalk that thing ?
I feel like the main thing in this situation is don't go home, you don't want him to know where you live, call a friend/ relative who lives nearby and let him/her meet you ASAP, avoid alleys and stay in public.
Best would be to walk right into a police station and tell the cops at the desk
But absolutely go on TV, disclose your name, and confirm that you live in that neighborhood and run all your errands there. What could go wrong?
@@saintindya stalking someone is definitely a crime??
@@nordreds2084 the guy did not break the law
Go to a restaurant
Please if you’re being followed do not go straight back to your house. If possible, find a group of people like this lady did or go into a store and ask the owner if they can call the police for you. Whatever you do, do not let the stalker know where you live.
Umm did she not have a phone?
@@BrodyYYC Exactly!!!
You're safe to let me know though; here on the internet.
This is very good advice. I, as a man, was in a similar situation where a women was being followed and she asked me to walk her home. Instead I got her phone number and followed the stalker while I was on the phone with police. She gave a statement later and the creep was arrested on a parole violation.
@@UberAV Yes, because you can't find where she lives from here smartie pants.
I feel like he was literally just waiting for the "right" time... so scary!
God bless you all🙏🙏💖💖
Dude didn't give AF that she was obviously filming him or she went up to a group of people and clearly said the man was stalking her. That's some terrifying stuff. He needs to be apprehended before he hurts someone (or maybe he already has)
It was creepy, but you can't apprehend someone unless they break a law.
@@declanp1 stalking? Are you kidding? That is illegal.
@@declanp1 Stalking is a crime lol
He definitely hear her talking as well
@@linkmaster253 The legal definition of stalking is a lot stricter than just following someone around. The guy could just say he was going on a walk and "just happened to take the same path as her". Super creepy but would be hard to arrest someone like this for just that.
Props to those people who let her stay with them and that guy who went over to chase off the stalker.
@the missile skud teens?
@the missile skud women are so prideful and gynocentric they wouldn't mention their helpers were men.
@@Jorgehernandez-pt4hy dahek? Lmao
It is normal behavior of men to chase an attractive woman. It doesnt mean they want to do any harm.
@@sadiqahmed1648 following anyone for 40 minutes is sinister behaviour.
In this situation you walk into ANY store and tell the person working there to call the police
Being followed is one of the scariest feelings ever because you don’t know at first and all the emotional stages you have to go through quickly to make a decision what to do next. Even if you’re around people you’re terrified who will actually accept to help you…
Her voice was shaking as she asked to sit with those people. I hope she’s okay now.
I know that was hurtful to watch! I'm glad she made it to safety or around other ppl!
He'll get her one day
@@DeadPiixxel ..
@@DeadPiixxel you need help.
@@DeadPiixxel someone going to get you watch
thank god she trusted her intuition and recorded instead of leading him to her home. may we all be as brave as her and as cool as the people she found at the skate park.
if it was a night ! she will have no choice than leading him to her home.
Good instincts would have said to call the police
I believe that dude was pretty dumb for letting himself being recorded. Even with masks, police and investigators are still able to find out who they are -_-
Wow its so brave to not to show your home to a stalker, wow!
I would have lead him to the police station
You can hear the fear in her voice 🥺
God she's annoying to listen to. But I'm glad she's ok.
The fact that he didn’t even walk away when she joined the group until someone walked up to him and confronted him is telling. Be careful of your surroundings and who you’re surrounding yourself with!!
o
@Jesus Christ are you done? Cause you clearly have nothing to say.
@Jesus Christ if she called the cops she would probably get shot by the cops
No, it's fine, this was in Canada
Nowhere is safe. Best you stay home.
This guy is seriously not right in the head, the fact that he didn’t go even around her or do anything when she tried to let him pass and he didn’t even leave right away when she met up with the skaters ...... this could have been SO much worse and I am so scared for women living there I’m hoping so much that this guy doesn’t get his hands on anyone
He was definitely on a mission
@@skukemsmythe7657 because the skaters confronted him.
Kudos to the skater that had the fortitude to confront the stalker and got him to leave.
Yes ... I wish CD help ❣️😵🙄😒🙏✝️🕊️
@James Black better safe than sorry
Yeah! That's very creepy
Stalking should be a felony. Thank God you got near people and the lady are safe. Speaking up helps
The way he didn’t back off even when she walked up to a group of people. He had a plan, and was definitely going to go through with it if she didnt find anyone for help.
Facts
Omg what was he gonna do to her?
Doesn't Zenitsu does that to you ?
@@beamie5728 what ?
That's scary asf
That's insane! What is wrong with some people??? Crazy

demonic dear and you just dont even know it.
Why didn't call the police on her phone as he was following her?
What an oddball, what a sad pathetic life lead by following women around town. Home he gets arrested for stalking
Scary part is that he cared ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the camera and NOTHING about the witnesses she approached for help 😳 bold and psycho! I would’ve literally crossed the street screaming like a maniac! And if he kept walking and I just looked crazy, then oh well, I’d rather be safe than sorry. But he literally stopped at the park so if she had crossed the street he may have to. STRANGER DANGER! STRANGER DANGER!!
You HONESTLY don’t think this was staged? Lol
It was.
Why didn't they unmask him and beat him up?! Disappointing!
@RIHANNA ROBINSON I know it is. Look it up
@@carltonthepug And....?
Even if this particular instance was staged, there's still dozens of other times where it wasn't and people ended up hurt or dead from it. Even if it was staged, this video can still serve as a cautionary tale of possible things to do to stay safe while being stalked (call police, take video of perp, seek out a group of people for help).
@@sourpuss5951 Exactly what I said in my initial comment lmao!!! Bring awareness lol
I’m so glad she made it a group of people who were willing to let her stay with them. The way he stood there while she was talking to them. No. Glad she is safe.
She was never in any danger. Wake up.
@@ThePenTheSword
How do you know that "she was never in danger"? Are u the guy who was following her?
@@damatove9886 Yeah it was me. I was trying to get her plate number because I saw her doing drugs and she almost hit my car.
@@ThePenTheSword yh i don't believe that ur him and also she was out getting her groceries like how would you know she owned a car when she was commuting on foot
@@ThePenTheSword what hit your car with her body?
That’s crazy and scary . Glad u did the right thing. Hope he’s caught .
I'm a man and I've been stalked two. I don't look threatening so that's probably why. I have street smarts though and know how to evade creepy stalkers.
The scary thing is that she does not know how long he has been stalking her. He may have been stalking her for months but has now decided to let her know about it. He may already know where she lives. He feels safe because he has a mask on and can't be identified. She needs to be very very careful.

@@laur9146 I don’t think you even understand what your talking about and that shows also .
How terrifying!! He really was stalking her, she did the right thing coming up to that group and asking for help. As a woman who has dealt with similar things, I cannot stress how much fear this can bring someone. She's not going to just forget this, this will be weighing on her thoughts daily, especially when she has to leave. I just pray someone is able to stop him before he actually acts on his impulses.
The fact that he did it in broad daylight is crazy to like he just didn’t care
Happened to me while I was walking home myself. This creepy homeless man started following me and I got worried and started recording and running quicker. There was a car so I asked for help.
It was a great move to approach others (that seem trustworthy) for help and to just be honest. The way he stood there - mm. So obvious something wasn't right. Like at first you can't be sure he is following her, but when he literally stops when she does? Creepy as heck.
She and you need to get weapons and stop being so helpless and stop voting fir people who take away your right to defend yourself
@@thewildcardperson I do have weapons, but I live in California and it's really hard to get a concealed carry here. I have guns at home though. I have spray and a large hunting knife (which is illegal to carry here). I don't care though, I have to have something I've been attacked before and it went where no woman wants it to go. I will never live that again, I would rather die fighting. So I do the best I can considering the limitations of this state. I didn't vote for those people, we have a corrupt voting system in this state. Many here are for the 2nd A. Most of my neighbors are here.
She was just attacked in Mexico last week too. The stalker and the boxer should share a cell together for the next decade.
I would have went into a store. She made a smart move, asking a group of people for help. I’ve seen many people online who just kept running away and didn’t know what to do until someone asked
At least she was smart enough to not go back home. Some would have probably panicked and led him right back to where they lived
Going back home is also good if she had brother or father at home, stalker would be in hospital ✊✊👊👊
Exactly!
So true! If someone is stalking you NEVER run home that way it could end up way more dangerous
Yes, what she did was good She went to a busy area and told people. At least in Canada there isn't the fear of guns that the US has.
@@insidegone949 even if that was the case he still would have known where she lived. And not everyone has someone at home that’s why it’s best in the first place to not let them know where you live and just go to a store or find a crowd, hell even go to a police station if one is nearby etc
This would honestly be the most scariest at night, since people aren't awake at that time. Thank goodness she found people to sit with.
Everything is scary at night.
Even an empty room in your house that was totally fine a few hours before.
The fact that he’s comfortable with doing this in broad daylight really gets to me.
@@dookie7299 Might not be his first rodeo
@@dookie7299 this has been happening now often. I think it's the fact that covid has more ppl indoors and the guys can wear mask for anonymity, so they're bolder about it.
