The fact that he didn’t die for an infection is astonishing river water in your gut has to put you a maximum risk for it.
Too much booze.
@@ChineseSpyBal00n 💥
River water gets in your ears and eyes and all of your other orrifices all the time. Good lord if I could count how many times I got cut in rivers or lakes or on land and just kept on trucking, I'd still be counting.
Nah you've been trained to be spooked by nature
@@ylekiote99999big difference between your ears and intestines.
He has that big scar to remind him, for the rest of his life, to mind his own business.
Fukd around n found out
When a man piunches a young woman I the face you don't mind your own business. Remember what happened to the girl killed by her camping Florida boyfriend when the cops did nothing.
People like you worry me for the future of kids you's might bring up people don't understand or seem to understand taking a knife out on someone and inflicting life threatening injuries can seriously impact the life they have ahead and also impact there families as a results of it. Not to mention the fact he also ended the life of a kid imagine the pain that family have been put through. I just don't grasp how people see this as 'self defense' and justify it as 'self defense'. if the bloke had held the knife in his hand and said 'back up or I will stab you' would have been way more than enough to de-escalate the situation he was in. But let me ask you a question yes the kids were obviously intoxicated but does a push and shove into the water justify the fact that he had to pull out a knife and disembowel a man and also end the life of a man? Who goes round carrying a knife in a river full of minors aswell?
I completely agree that scar should remind him that. It’s not okay to bully someone, they have a right to protect themselves
@@Jayden12332have you seen the video of him being harassed? He tried to walk away multiple times and they push and pinch him under water. People need to raise their kids to be respectful, not do drugs and not harass people, that will put you in danger
I’m sorry guy but you’re a bully and not a victim
you dont know what youre talking abput the guy was hunting for girls with the knife on him
@@id3kk.👈👈😂😂🤡
I am so glad it was filmed. People are going crazy over this case. I just watched a body language expert just talking about the man. He agrees.
And miu is a murderer, old ass 50 year old getting bullied just listen to yourself
Shit he’s both
These kids in this generation have a real problem taking responsibility for there own bad actions even at the same exact time as the evidence is presented in front of them.
A,J, Martin is not a victim. He is one of the aggressors.
Absolutely, you can hear him screaming so loudly!
He's still super combative here on the stand.
Truth
His friend was stabbed a girl by the old man ok? Him and the others were defending her so don’t be lying not knowing facts
What were his 2 criminal convictions
AJ was brought back from dead. You would think he could stop lying.
Where's the lie?
Oh AJ...WE KNOW what your goal was that day. Im sorry you were injured still..but what you did was WRONG!
true. Hope he realized that.
What was a 40 year old man doing with a group of Teens/highschoolers ? By himself
@@PopcorxWhy didn’t Liu just walk away?
@@PopcorxLooking to start shit.
@@Popcorxhe was looking a lost phone. That was clearly stated multiple times. That’s the only reason why he went to them
That was one sharp ass knife.
Combined with the force behind it, yes knives are deadly.
Especially in water ..when people’s skin are all slippery..
All real knives are like that, I swear the zoomers in these comments are so sheltered it's insane. Go watch some LiveLeak videos of the flavelas in Brazil, or just shit in Brooklyn, knives are and always have been very dangerous weapons
@@kudjo24 most people just don’t know how to sharpen a blade so there are a lot of dull knives in the world.
@@allisonnorris1506 Knives were designed to cut. Whatever the blade is cutting depends on the wielder. Bad take.
Trying to act all sweet n innocent here, where is your big bully mouth now!?!
Fuelled up frat boy found out....
You have to be respectful in court. It would be dumb to be disrespectful in court
@@zombieburner0Agree, but there's a difference between being respectful and acting like you have zero blame in this.
@@Claudia-lq3nsyeah he’s trying to take zero accountability for his role in this and I find it annoying. Can’t even admit that he pushed the man down from behind while we are seeing it with our own eyes.
Who are you referring to?
He hasn't learned anything. He comes across as an entitled prick. Nothing is ever their fault!!!
The judge is a clown, the defense is allowed to prove Miu's innocence, without being shut down constantly.
Martin was trying to place the blame on Mr. Miu, even though it was his own damn fault he got stabbed, trying to fight with an elderly man, and going along with the instigating drunken teenagers, that started this whole thing.
The reason any of this even happened is because all these so-called "victims" couldn't mind their own business, and all of them started harassing Miu, hitting and pushing, and holding him down in the water.
Every one of those "kids" and all of the adults, that were surrounding Miu, should be on trial for what they did to him.
No sane person can think that he is guilty.
I mean he's clearly guilty...but I can certainly see why he did it.
I think the fact that they instigated it should be reflected in sentencing.
He needs to spend a little time in prison or suffer some consequence...but not a sentence commensurate with 1st degree murder.
Perhaps guilty of a lesser charge but not guilty for all charges.
Recognize that he went too far in defending himself but just charge him with agg assault or something for stabbing that girl who was just standing there. The guys were at least physically engaged with him.
He went too far but i understand why he did it...there was no reason for what the young adults did, but they didn't take a life using a deadly weapon.
Bias judge.
💯
@@AndyDrake-FOOKYThow did he go too far? He was never aggressive ever at all… if you were getting beaten up buy 10+ who were threatening to beat you to death and drown you in the water and you had a knife you wouldn’t use it to protect yourself and stay alive…?
❤
I think A.J didn’t learn a thing from this incident
He learned how it feels to hold his own intestines 🤷 I'd bet he uses better judgment before ever jumping into a fight that has nothing to do with him again..
The defense lawyer keeps 'asking' leading questions...mis-leading & trying to get AJ to guess / assume what Miu was thinking
Totally weird trying to lead a victim into a crazy man's mind
Miu had a SUPER SHARP KNIFE & interjected himself into a drunken young crowd of Yahoo's & refused to leave despite Madison trying to get him to leave both verbally & then physically trying to pull Miu away.
Then Miu swings at Madison & the guys protective instincts get fired up.
No wonder they called Miu a pedo as he had interjected himself amongst a bunch of young people & refused to leave despite several people telling him to LEAVE.
Dante's smack at Miu for swinging at a female & STILL not leaving makes sense. Miu had revealed himself to be way off & outta line.
The guys trying to keep Miu in spot, and the smack & AJ trying to somewhat restrain Miu did not merit a knife attack.
Miu was already off track & completely went off the rails into a stabbing & slicing frenzy
That level of deep cutting takes strength & a SUPER SHARP knife
PSYCHO.
he a gud boi. he go 2 skool
@@birgip.m.1236Yes miu probably is a little crazy, i could see it in his eyes. But you’d have to be a complete fool to initiate a fight with a crazy person. No matter how u look at it, these kids couldve approached the situation differently instead of bullying the guy. Its a life lesson to be learned, fuck with the wrong one and you’ll find our
@@myday6806 They thought they had the upper hand in numbers. If any one of them was alone they wouldn't be so willing to be in anyones face like that. Clear bullying mentality. It's all fun and games until you meet one willing to stick a knife in everyone.
I can't imagine holding your own intestines must feel surreal; it's crazy he's alive.
Most likely what helped him survive, was him drinking. Not able to completely feel pain just adrenaline.
Old head left his ass in a shitt bag 😂
@@clarisabetancourtmaryjane9908but that also thins the blood
I don’t think I’d have the guts to do that myself.
@@clarisabetancourtmaryjane9908Why would him not being able to feel pain, helping him survive? He survived due to no major artery was cut, even if he lost a lot of blood, it didn't go out that fast. If cut in a major artery for instance in leg, you die whitin minutes. Has nothing to do with not feeling pain, but to were the cut is. Isac had really bad luck, the knife going between the ribs, straight into heart/aorta, you die in seconds.
"For the culture, bro. For the culture...."
Actually I don't think he should have been on trial at all. I think the kids should have been on trial for what they did to him.
Nope, did any of the teens attempt to murder Mr. Miu? No hurling insults is not illegal. You gonna act the same when a stranger comes up to you and start touching you? Is that what you gonna teach your kids? If so I am sure your going to make some predator very happy.
good thing you don't make decisions like that HUH!? thank god.
So the kids deserved to be stabbed? Issac deserves justice. What Nicolae did was disgusting. Instead of being an adult and walking away in the beginning he chose to stay and take a life of a 17 year old.
@@Liza-hn1cr Did you even watch the trial and the video? He did try to walk away but they wouldn't let him. He would have had to go to the deeper part ot the river risking his life. They were all blocking the way while taunting him.
Nobody is saying the kid deserved to die but those are the consequences of his actions. All Miu did was self defense.
@@kyleemery3329 Well I hope he appeals and is freed. This whole trial is unfair. You wouldn't want to be in his position some day when you are old.
My grandpa always said the best way to stay healthy is to mind your own fuking business🤷♂️
Lol yeah , get at me Marty
Amen lol
No sympathy for this "mediator" or his Shirley Temple curls.
literally all they had to do was nothing. leave this man alone and none of this would have happened
@@pcap8810 You can tell by the comments, most people have not ever been tubing🤷♂️
None of this should ever have happened. Common sense, decency, manners and respect for other people goes a long way. All should have practiced self control! Mind your own business and just float on down the river with your respective groups. Senseless and tragic outcome
I am not clear on what happened. In the videos I have seen the man comes up to them starting a problem.
I heard him being asked to leave. He got physical with a female which pissed off the males.
All the old man had to do was leave.
He could walked away like he did BEFORE he stabbed people. They were typical drunk young folks tubing on the river and this old man walks up.
I knew some guys that loved tubing down the river and that old man probably wouldn't have made it here in Texas especially with knife.
yeah these kids provoked this dude for no reason. They attacked him first.
Verbally attacked by teens, why didn’t the older adult walk away? Nobody stopped him they were yelling at him to leave.
that grown ass man had to walk away...than none of this would ever happen...
I think that Asian dude that told everyone the man was looking for little girls under the water was exaggerating n got all this drunk ppl going crazy
Victim? He assaulted that guy with his bros like a pack of hyenas. He's no "victim".
your disgusting
Are these seriously bots paid by the defence team or something??
Exactly right
Not true. Mui was the first to lay hands on another person.
@marie-michelleanderson2851 wrong. They surrounded this guy, taunted him, shoved cameras in his face screaming at him, pushed him down and punched him in the side of the head. I've seen the video and they were acting like a pack of animals
Self defense. I rather take my chances in court than risking having a mob attack me
In a river 10 vs 1 …
Rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6
Hmm, he approached and instigated. Had a knife in his hand before things got physical. Certainly could go either way, but he didn't help his case in any way.
@@acid6112some people don’t care about facts when giving bad takes. 😂
@@acid6112 Just because you say so, there is evidence to the contrary
Time line of knife
Using channel 9 main video
1.35 no knife in hand can see open right hand clearly
1.48 clearly has knife in front of him at his side
1.51 he’s falling backwards on his back
This is not a victim. Multiple people surrounding someone in the water, striking them and pushing them down is an assault. He doesn't even play the victim well.
That’s not what happened I get you’ve been bullied your whole life but your wrong
Hahahaha @@yenneferofvengerberg4936
that creepy old dude ran at them and put his hands on their floats preventing them from moving before anyone had even confronted him. you know damn well if it had been a drunk teen/20something running up on a group of elders minding their business, put their hands all over their shit and stopped them from moving, and then refused to get out of their personal space TENS OF TIMES when asked over and over, and then readied a knife and stood there waiting for the right time to not even just stab or announce he had a knife and warn them back but friggin eviscerated one sliced anothers heart open through the ribs and stabbed multiple others, only to then leave the scene calmly change his clothes dump the weapon not call for help and then lie to police....you would absolutely side against the slasher. but cause all these weird ass boomers identify with that creep they're defending him as "self defense"- but for self defense you cant be the one who instigated the situation and refused to leave over and over and then escalated it. either that or they were bullied and projecting their bullying trauma onto those poor kids who yes were obnoxious but being obnoxious is not a cimre.
hopefully the jurors see right through his bullshit, unlike too many internet commenters who sound like literal psychopaths sayin the kids "needed to be taught a lesson" (wtf), and put him away for life.
@@taylorfrink1182 it's clear the situation changed multiple times. We're talking about facts pertaining to the charges and they don't fit. Both sides of this failed to deescalate the situation on a public beach where all parties have the right to be at any spot they choose and are free to leave at any time. Should other charges be brought then we should consider them based on evidence provided. With the current evidence and behavior of the parties involved this falls short of murder charges. Attacking my opinion doesn't make yours more valid.
@@taylorfrink1182ok I gotta step in to put your little bratty rear end in your place. First of all. Let me state that I am not a boomer and I still don’t agree with how any of this went down but regardless, the only reason he went over to them is cuz he was looking for a list phone, they were confused when he came over (clear by their reactions at first) then started calling him names and saying he’s looking for little girls which he was not, just looking for a phone. Didn’t give him a chance to even explain anything , kept screaming over him. Surrounded him, pushed him in the water. To put things into perspective, I’m probably only a few years older than these “kids” and I still agree they need to be taught a lesson.
What a liar the video shows him punching and attacking more than one time
He said he put his hand on his shoulder with no force. He was pushing that man too
He also said they girls were minors, then he said they were in there early 20's. He's clearly full of shit, they fafo plain and simple
You could see Miu’s eyes he wasn’t scared in that transaction. He stuck the knife completely into his stomach. All of you trash making excuses from Miu is sickening. AJ wasn’t pushing with the force that you are trying to present. It’s sad that people like you exist in this world.
The way he tells it, he was gently embracing Mr Mui’s shoulder in a comforting manner to reassure him that everything would be ok if he stayed down while Mr Hero here gets the wild kids under control.
That’s the furthest thing from the truth.
Mr Mui didn’t go after him. He lunged onto the knife
Thank GOD that the whole was caught on video or Mr Mui would have no chance of a favorable outcome during the trial.
I wonder what would have happened if he didn’t have that knife. Those guys were out for blood! They wanted to brutalize that man for their entertainment.
Too bad for them, he refused to be their victim!
AJ here doesn’t have the guts to attack a man of equal size and age when he’s alone. Nope he attacks a man of retirement age when he’s being hit by others, thinking he will have the other mob there to help in the beating. Now he cries.
Cowards. All of them.
He is one of the aggressor and he lie when he answer , his eyes betrayed him
Yep! 16 minute mark of this video! He was an instigator!
Honestly all these kids should be charged with felony murder. They were breaking the law and assaulted someone and got their friend killed.
fr this one is dumb as dirt too
@@chunkymonkeysteadyfunky yeah it's everybody else that is dumb isn't it twonk?
Go learn the law kid
@@CarnageYT_ Go on, tell us then.
@everilliem3292 why should I when Google exists felony murder for this is completely wrong
So when will he be charged for perjury? The video clearly shows that he pushed Miu, not "put his hand on his shoulder", and also then assaulted him as he was getting up. Both lies from his testimony. Most corrupt case of the year.
They all lied on the stand. Hope they all get prison time for perjury
What is wrong with you people? You don't understand words?
He said he intended to push him on the shoulder but failed. Where's the lie? What does that mean?
It means he claims he wanted to push his shoulder but ended up not.
He did "assault" but you can clearly see it wasn't with intent to cause harm. He has both hands open to push. If he wanted tot harm the old murderer then he would have had closed fist.
Are you all paid trolls?
@@kroanosm617 bro i'm sorry you are wrong, they were bullies and assaulting the man. Plain and simple.
@@StormBlessedxo A victim doesn't engage a group by themselves and refuse to leave. The women were trying to gently push him away from the group and he refused. He had plenty of opportunity to leave. He pushed a woman in her face when he should not have been there. So he started the physical assault. The young men only put hands on him after he pushed her in the face. AJ clearly had his hands open so he was not trying to hurt the guy. He was just trying to keep him down. The murderer gutted him and stabbed a nearby little girl. Words are words. Walk away plain and simple. Especially when you are an adult. He will burn in Hell after he spends the rest of life in prison.
just sayin', there's a LOT of more corrupt cases going on right as we breathe
Why isnt he charged with criminal battery along with the rest of them
Exactly. If Nik was found guilty for his crimes, then they should be, too. No one is innocent here.
@@Claudia-lq3ns They never hit him untill he hit the girl.
@@asherdempster4992 Where's the evidence he hit the girl? We are supposed to believe that despite the fact that she's spotted on the video just seconds later standing right there with no injuries.
This is the same group who was claiming earlier that Miu was "looking for little girls" ......by walking up to a group of teenage boys.
Pushing sumone isn't battery get of of that weirdos nut sac damn
@@jeffa847 Miu hit her so hard it knocked her glasses off go watch the video. Just before when she is telling him to leave she has glasses on then the camera pans away for a second and then a few guys lunge at Miu and Madison Coen can be seen yelling that she has been hit and her glasses are off. additionally, right after this part in the video, all the boys start saying Miu hit a girl. Also, everyone testified that Miu hit Madison and that is why they pushed him.
That scar will forever remind him how stupid he was when he was young.
No more fafo for this boy.
@@williamboyle8918 bold of you to asume he learned anything that they. come next summer he will probably have a second scar on this stomach.
bet hes already been bragging about it at the bar
The one recording should also be charged he instigated this whole thing causing everyone around him to get rowdy
@@sharp5293 Yup... They charged the guy who recorded Ahmaud Arbery's shooting with 'murder'.
Imagine if the teens had helped the man find the phone. Crazy idea I know but those type of teens do exist, I have one 🤷🏻♀️
Imagine had the GROWN MAN asked the teens to help him find it instead of just touching their legs and belongings and not speaking clearly...
@@madisynbrinsky9682 oh so they attacked him because he didn't speak clearly, aha now I see (twonk).
@@stevenmoore3480they didn’t attack for not speaking. they just started mocking and harassing him for going up to them without asking and start touching and pushing their tubes. they attacked him after he and another girl started putting hands on each other which eventually led to him punching her. that’s when they started pushing and slapping him. it’s worth mentioning too that the old man had the knife out before any physical altercation occurred.

He tried to lie for his buddy and blame someone else. ..ive watched 4 people so far admit to putting hands on that man first! Yelling to people he was a rapist and pedophile was inciting violence. A shit ton of drunks under 21. And multiple assaults and only the old gentleman charged , Utter BS!

Agreed! So upset about the verdict. Can’t believe after all of those wack testimonies the jury decided to stand behind the “for the culture” teenagers. so disappointed
Agreed 💯
So a dude punches one of your friends, starts getting aggressive with the rest of you then kills your other friend for trying to subdue him. You're cool with that?

Take AJ’s arrogance and mix it with alcohol and there you have it. The convictions in this case are grossly unjust. It’s sad a life was lost but it’s at the hands of every single one of them. May they never forget the many lives they’ve destroyed by ignorant behavior and actions.
These young men whould all be arrested and charged with battery.
It's crazy how timid these "kids" are now compared to how they were with that mob mentality at that time
He was not one of those "kids." He was with another group, and he was trying to mediate the situation after seeing a girl getting punched in the face.
@@ChocoBabiChanno he wasn’t. He was trying to hold dude under water.

@@zees358 ya they wanted to humiliate him based on the video. It's funny how the same video can have multiple interpretations from the audience.
I bet it made them not to act like they was
A mob attacks an older man, the man defends himself, and the man goes to prison. Great example of our justice system failing.
The more I watch of this, the more I can see how the guy on trial thought his life was in danger. AJ certainly is nervous about his testimony, makes one think it's a story he was coached to give. He also wasn't there to break up fight, he was actively pushing the man down.
I don’t think he was coached… if he was he would have done a better job. He is snarky, all over the place… basically a jerk.
@@Tracking825
They’re _ALWAYS_ coached. This kid’s ego is just so giant that he can’t help but be argumentative and show his wretched personality. He even slips up by finally admitting that he attacked Miu (and tries to take it back after his words are repeated back to him lol). It’s night and day compared to Miu’s testimony, where Miu didn’t have any argumentative tone in him whatsoever.
Right. He says he "lightly" touched his shoulder. But Miu literally fell backwards with force...
Definitely coached
Self defense, the old guy had a triple bypass earlier on that year and these wise ass kids started shit with the guy just looking for his buddy cell phone on the water, the teens went after him….. reap what you sow
It was actually even worse - poor ol’ guy had a QUADRUPLE bypass!

Well he's not the one who's going to jail, so I think you have it backwards on who needs to be reminded of what.
Astonishing how not anyone of these young people take any accountability for their actions that day!!!
The injury this young man suffered is horrific but it does not appear to me that he was trying to keep the peace.
I agree and he admitted to have been drinking and on drugs so he doesn’t remember anything .
You dont attack people from behind while they are being jumped in order to keep the peace? Craaaaaazy..
Clearly not.
@@falseprophet1024bottom line Mr Miu could have been and adult and walked away before any physical contact. They were telling him to leave.
This man here was an instigator
For me this is 100% Self defense! I feel bad for miu.
I agree. It total BS. Why have none of the teenagers that slapped him not been charged at all?
His bond was set at 1 million for the charges so he’s spent 2 years in jail. Now they’re reducing the charges to 2nd degree manslaughter. Obviously because they know they’re losing.
Moving the goal posts.
Nearly all the evidence from the teenagers has been lies.
If Miu hit the blonde woman first, then it is not self-defense. So the whole trial hinges on whether you believe she was hit as every witness says other than Nicolae. If she was hit first, the rest of what occurred is on Miu. Is he a victim of bullying abuse? Yes. I wish those boys would serve some time too. Horrible behavior towards a stranger was the root cause of Miu's anger and aggression.
@@augustusgrim1446 “he hit the blonde woman first” they were beating him up and putting his head under water im not saying that the man isn’t guilty but he did not start it
why'd he ditch the knife?
You feel bad for a man that brought a knife to the river and ended up killing a child with it. Good thing it wasn't your kid, I guess , right?
Who else feels very bad for nicolae? I can't watch the video it makes me feel a pit in my stomach for him. I feel really sorry for him and wish I hadve been on that jury to be the one and only to choose innocent!
He got stabbed AFTER HE ASSAULTED THE MAN! HE WAS SURROUNDED BY ROUGHLY 11 PEOPLE!!!
THIS IS A "STAND YOUR GROUND" FIGHT YOUR WAY OUT ALONE! THESE NASTY YOUNG PEOPLE STARTED THE WHOLE THING!
How is A.J. a victim? He was a bully that treated as such.
I agree, that older man was in danger. Downed in water. Being pushed down into the water. He could’ve smashed his head. He could’ve been drowned. He was in danger of great bodily harm and/or death. He’s definitely not the victim.
That old dude was 100% looking for a fight. he knew he had a knife and went to them hoping to use it. 100% guilty of murder
@@StarkVandalez
What a joke. 👆
@@StarkVandalezexplain please
But he plays such a great victim in real life!
I do feel sorry for A.J. That must have been horrific. But looking at the footage, it looks very much that the guy with the knive was in distress at that point. A lot of people were pushing him into the water. Not saying someone needed to die, but that's a scary situation to be in. This was such an unnessessary event.
Thank you for making your point with empathy, it’s so refreshing
Honestly the whole situation is a mess from both sides. It never should have escalated
I think stabbing 4 people is not self defense.if he only stabbed AJ then it would be self-defense because AJ assaulted the man But either way he stabbed four people three of which were not committing a crime at the time so he could be liable for three counts of attempted murder. Those other three stabs unjustifiable especially for Tony, because Tony was trying to break it up and the attacker stabbed him. While I do think the teenagers were in the wrong to start a verbal confrontation to the man I think they really could’ve handled the situation differently, and there would be a different outcome for the choices of both parties.
Absolutely. I agree

He is not a victim he is one of the bullies, and has NOT learned his lesson. They know that was a recording of it but they lie like hell. Imagine if they didn't had a video.
How tall are you?
5’ 9” and 3/4ths….
How old are you?
11 and 5/6ths…
You’re a big boy aren’t you?
I am, I picked out this outfit myself 🥴
Is your shirt white?
I would say it’s more of a cream color but okay
How convenient he doesn't remember what his friends did but he remembers every little detail of what the old man did?
Not only that but he doesn’t remember shoving the man into the water with both hands?
He's got long hair and he was probably raised by his mama, so he might as well think like a chick too
The hair kept getting in his face 🤡
It’s literally on video, that should speak for itself.
@@hermesmcclintok guess it's more important to make stories up about the victim rather than the literal convicted murderer lol 🤡

I dont feel sorry for him one bit, how they treated that man was appalling. No respect for an elder. Now it sucks for him but what was it all for? To try and be cool? Who were they trying to impress? Complete jackass move by all those young men. He should be apologizing to Mr Miu for joining in on assaulting him. He did it to himself and should be thankful hes alive.
These young guys are guilty for bullying the older man! If he pulls a knife and stabs the aggressor it's so obvious the old man was definitely defending himself! I can't feel sorry for this dude 👎🏽 for assaulting the old man! A.J. isn't the victim, shame on him!
That's the most looney thing I heard all day so if someone insults you, you have a right to pull a knife? If so I have a lot of people who need to meet my german steel.
Defending himself by choosing to go back over and aggressively engage with them after he retrieved a knife? Yes truly the actions of a man who is in fear.
I was in the Army at 17 and these jerks are calling themselves kids.
Exactly. I agree. These young people certainly thought themselves adults re their alcohol and drug use. But now on the stand they are “kids.”
I heard these "kids" were on the football team in high school. That's a big statement. I wonder how many high school kids they have bullied.
Facts
You were a kid in the army
Thank you for your service. Let’s hope they don’t get drafted.
All the young teens and young adults were bullying oushing and hitting the older man laughing watch the real footage of that day. He acted in self defense its obvious
That's where things gets complicated everyone has the right to self defense but what kind of self defense is the question. A fist fight shouldn't come to a knife or gun fight unless it's absolutely necessary meaning if someone is beating you to death or strangling you to death etc. this statement ain't towards the river event. I'm just saying in general. Idk what all took place in this event I just started watching it today and don't have all the facts.

These teenagers didn't like having their testimonies pulled apart.
No one likes being cross examined, doesn't matter if you're guilty or innocent. When you're innocent it's even more aggravating. If you'd like to see a ton of lies being pulled apart though, try watching Mui's interview with police.
Why is no one looking at the body language these kids are using while in court. Looks like a lot of lying, and the filler words.
You can’t go anywhere anymore without little punks like this and his friends ruining it for everyone else. Maybe now they realize not to mess with innocent people.
Doubt they’ve learned a single thing from this. They’ve all removed all their responsibility for this happening, in their minds they’re victims.
They’ve learned nothing.

This guy is lying
Clearly he's full of shit
Front man for counting crows
He said he was going over the break up the fight but the video shows the exact opposite of that. He was instigating it
Exactly!
What do you mean? All upstanding citizen look just like him
how anyone can watch the video and say Miu is the agressor is wild !
I know right? Clearly they are forking blind.
Is more crazy how anyone can watch a video of a grown man running up to a group of boys in tubes grabbing their tubes. Continuing to stay there whike he is being told to leave because the boys didnt know what he was doing. Decides to not leave, punches a girl in the face, gets pushed down and attacked for 1. Not leaving and 2. Punching someone first, then proceeds to stab 2 people that put their hands on him and seek out and stab 3 people that didnt physically assualt him and believe that it was defense. 😂. If you were that afraid for your life you wouldve left the million of times they told you too especially if they said you have 10 seconds and he still decided to go back and put himself in that "mob". He stabbed 5 people out of aggression, not self defensive. He even had to lie in his interrogation because he knew he acted out of aggression.
This is a terrible idea alcohol on the River is just asking for trouble
Alcohol over consumption is the commonality in this terrible tragedy
And illegal consumption and not used to it. Maybe there was diazepam involved too. How them jumped around and freaked out it could have been involved too

He straight up lied lol. In the video of the incident, aj doesn’t push his shoulder to “keep him in the water to figure it out” he pushed him from the back then pushed him again when he stood up. I’m not saying I’m on one side or another, but AJs account of what happened does not match the video.

@@Devonellah They were all bullying the dude.
After watching several of these trial videos I've come to the conclusion that either nobody on trial was actually there or else every single one of them have extreme difficulty telling the truth.
I'm pretty sure they were all kinds of messed up on just about ANYTHING. Still, I don't feel sorry for them. They fuck3d around and found out.
Inebriated or not, eye witness testimony of things that happen in high stress or adrenaline situations is pretty much worthless. They tend to get all kinds of things wrong, bc that’s just how the brain and memory work. You may think you have a 100% accurate memory of something big that happened to you, but if other witnesses were asked they would have a different version than you, and if there was video that would be another version likely different from BOTH witnesses recollection of the events.
It has been proven in a study that someone picking a random person out of a group of pictures of ppl they’ve never seen would be more likely to pick the correct offender of a crime than an eye witness would , especially if the witness and the offender are not the same ethnicity.
Exactly. It's not like these kids are lying, their shock did the talking. I can tell you what, that man should not have pulled a fuckin knife and killed a child.
You’re acting as if this isn’t all on video?? If you take it frame by frame you can see they are all telling the truth, that’s why they are all telling similar stories. That’s why they are telling the same testimony they told the police.

The ultimate FAFO moment where drunken teenagers bullying a man looking for his phone realize there's actually consequences to actions.
There's consequences to stabbing five unarmed kids, including a girl in a bikini. There's consequences to hiding evidence like a murder weapon knife. There's consequences to lying to the police about what happened, including making up that the kids pulled knives out on him, that he had no idea how or if anyone got stabbed, and that he was 'scared for his life'. Don't take my word for any of these lies by your hero Miu. Watch his interrogation video and then look at yourself in the mirror and ask if this guy is innocent.

@@sam-te1fu Yeh I would probably find him guilty if I was on the jury. He went over to them with a knife in his pocket, never mentioned a lost phone, and grabbed their raft.

Then lied repeatedly about it indicating a guilty conscience.

@@pcap8810 he was a drunken idiot himself. he never mentioned a phone. he just lunged at the raft. maybe they had an incident prior but no one mentioned it... if he was looking for a phone he would of said "hi my friend lost their phone in the water have you seen it"? but he said nothing.
@@pcap8810 he was brandishing a knife before he had been pushed over... he was a threat to the teenagers before they pushed him... they must not of seen the knife otherwise one of them would of said something, and they all would of backed off. i hope the lawyers stress the bit about showing a knife before he had been pushed or punched
I'm sorry but when that guy was down in the water trying to get up he looked scared
If someone you are chilling and drinking with has a knife and starts walking over to a group of people are you not going to be concerned? Idk or care for who's at fault but it was all avoidable.
He looked scared throughout the whole video. He was literally swarmed by a group of strange and very drunk teenagers calling his a pedo. I'm sorry but I've watched the full video and witness testimony and he DID NOT provoke the assaults. This was definitely a mob mentality, and these kids are equally at fault. It's very sad that someone lost their life and another seriously injured, but they were not innocent. It's such a very sad case all around.
@@msd7504 I see a bunch of comments about whether the kids or Nicolae Miu were in the wrong for escalating. Depending on who you sympathize with let's us know a lot about you.
Let's just all remember that being rude is not against the law and assault and stabbing is. The video obviously shows Nicolae Miu approaching at the beginning. He throws the first punch, and though he is pushed down twice he is given the chance to get up and walk away both times. Nicolae Miu has no difficulty leaving once he decides to.
Both groups escalated but only Nicolae Miu closed the distance instead increasing it. Only Nicolae Miu took things from words to blows. Only Nicolae Miu took things from blows to stabbings. Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words are too much for Nicolae Miu to handle.
If you're reaction to this story was, "kids should know better" your moral compass is flawed. Why didn't you think Nicolae Miu should know better?

He’s got a reminder of not to fuck with people
I'm really shocked that these young adults who bullied and pushed him and beat him in the water or pretending that they're the victims they're not the victims. The dude was standing up for himself and he was protecting himself and that guy saying that he was trying to not harm him it shows clearly in this video that they're showing everybody that he was an aggressor and you know what if you're going to bully somebody and you're going to throw them around in water. Anyone would be scared being jumped by young idiots that they might die. Dont f with people if you cant handle the consequences. This older man was scared and defending himself. Anyone would have done the same
He had plenty time to mover away from this altercation. Correct they should not be harassing him in the first place and they should be punished but this should never have escalated to disemboweling a man and also killing someone in my point of view both are wrong but stabbing and killing someone doesn't solve the situation and should be sentenced to life. The old man is ultimately a killer.

People like you worry me for the future of kids you's might bring up people don't understand or seem to understand taking a knife out on someone and inflicting life threatening injuries can seriously impact the life they have ahead and also impact there families as a results of it. Not to mention the fact he also ended the life of a kid imagine the pain that family have been put through.

But let me ask you a question yes the kids were obviously intoxicated but does a push and shove into the water justify the fact that he had to pull out a knife and disembowel a man and also end the life of a man? Who goes round carrying a knife in a river full of minors aswell?
This guy ran into the blade to hit Nick. That’s why amplified his injury. His own force at which he charged at Nick. Freeze the video and see him in the orange shorts when he charge into the blade.

@@kltil5082 so youre suggesting he deliberately went to apple river to randomly stab a bunch of teenagers? there’s no comment sense in that. his story was corroborated multiple times by officials and his friends about the phone; they found it after the incident too. obviously the point in which extremities he reached was unacceptable, but you can’t really believe those teenagers were so innocent and don’t deserve to be charged either, do you? i think he deserves a charge; but for the time he’s being given, it’d be a lot more acceptable if they got charged for their behalf too. don’t make this a one way cut clean situation, because it’s not. and plenty of people have shown their discontent for the fate of these “adults” as them being able to act like they could get away with this is a testimony to any person that being cross faded and adding fuel to the flame of any situation is suddenly a-ok now
The only thing he’s a victim of is his own stupidity. This whole trial has been a joke, evidence withheld from the jury to examine in the deliberation room, calling the Assaulter the Victim! Hopefully seeing your guts taught you not to act like a prick A.J.
Punched in the face, knocked down in the water, surrounded by drunk , drugged up, aggressively taunting “children,” then an adult man rushing over to push him down in the water … we’ve seen the videos of mobs attacking and killing people … while one of them films it. I would be more than terrified, wouldn’t you? If he hadn’t had the small knife to cut ropes on his own tube, I think he might be dead and all of the mob on trial. Why haven’t they been charged? I don’t understand why this case of self defense ever came to trial. Disgusting behavior. Their parents must be so proud.
They ALL screwed up. I've watch bits and pieces of this trail. They are all guilty of not communicating like people in their right mind.
The Guy on trail looks old enough not to antagonizing the situation. He held the tubes. That was his first mistake, the rest was stupid young adults. Plus the alcohol was part of the problem
I'd like to know if the dude was drunk too. They are saying he was drunk. I haven't heard his blood content.
I say probation, drug testing... Everyone tow the line. Everyone knows what probation means.
Watch the video from the beginning he was walking away then when the kids called him names he turned around and rushed at the kids that were laying in there tubes. Do you think he would have come back if he didn't have a knife on him. NO he would have continued walking back to his group
@@robinperini5226 This is the thing that bugs me when people try to say it's simple self-defense case. The man was walking away but then got mad that the kids were teasing him so rushed back.

He never talked, and after grabbing the tubes went to the downstream side of the group.
Also can someone explain to me why he is looking for a phone downstream of his group? If they lost a phone shouldn't it be upstream of them?

Just now watching the case so don’t come for me but these young men weren’t acting like men they were acting like a pack.
I agree, they were young, immature and drunk.
Completely agree
Most guilty people project themselves as innocent. "I knocked her out, tied her up and was kind enough to give her a bucket to pee in.. I cared about her and didn't want her to pee on herself." Kind of like they're a hero.. 🙄
Wholeheartedly agree
100%
our courts are a joke. He was found guilty on 4 charges
The old man looked disheveled, was being yelled at, screamed in his face, slapped and pushed and then this fellow decided to push him real hard into the water and he got stabbed. Does he know the word de-escalation? Why do you want to mess with any stranger because you have numbers with you and you can have fun at the expense of this old man? He got partly stabbed because of his own stupidity.
This guy is awfully fidgety. Gotta keep the story straight and btw feel sorry for me cuz i got an owie for ganging up on an old man with very limited stamina.
Seems like nothing more than a bunch of drunk kids who decided to act tough and are unhappy with the consequences of their actions.
