We have a remarkable example of F around and find out coming to us from out of South Korea where the repugnant internet prankster, Johnny Somali got himself absolutely rocked by a South Korean Navy Seal. And we have the video, let's check it out. And for those of you who stayed to the end, I'll share with you how you can join us for our 100% free law of self defense, hard to convict webinar. Coming up in just a few weeks, one downside of the internet has been the emergence of repugnant pranksters who act out in public in outrageous ways specifically to prompt outrage and film their theatrics for distribution and clicks and cash as online content. One such content creator goes by the name of Johnny Somali though he's not in any way, Somalian and he spent some months getting himself into hot water including jail time in Japan where he was deliberately insulting the host, Japanese for content creation purposes after getting tossed out of Japan.
Johnny Somali hopped over to South Korea to engage in the same kind of repugnant conduct for the same reason. But this time when he effed around he also found out and I've got video of the found out to share with you before I jump in. I remind all of you that if you like this kind of content would like more of it pound that subscribe button and hit the like thumbs up. We really appreciate it. The video I'm about to share with you. Came to my attention through my good friend and fellow lawyer, Jeff who lives and works in South Korea.
By the way, Jeff who is a maritime lawyer produces great content on his youtube channel as at legal vices and also on X as at the legal vice. I'll link to both of those in the description. It seems that Johnny Somali had been making a pest of himself in South Korea for some time and had attracted the attention of a number of reasonably enough offended South Korean content creators and more concerning the particular attention of a former South Korean Navy Seal.
Yes, that kind of seal, high level special forces. Jeff has been referring to this guy, the navy seal as Mr A. So for convenience, I'll do the same. Here's a duty photo of mister A when still in service. So Mr A has been on the internet letting everyone know that he's had about enough of Johnny Somali and was actively searching for him. Well, he managed to find him as Somali was exiting a building and that's the interaction that was caught on video a logo.
Somali, the camera is being held by, there's Mr A on the left of the building. Where are you going? Where are you, where are you going in Korea? What do you, what, what do you got? Pop right there goes in for a little more quickly wrapped up by police. Now, my buddy Jeff seems to feel that Johnny Somali was knocked out cold uh as he indicates here in this tweet that might be I'm not so sure but certainly Johnny Somali was rocked hard in a successive video. We can literally see him wobbling on his feet. My hat, my hat, my hat. You throw it out there. No, by the way, if you're wondering how so many cops got to the scene so quickly, it's because the cops were already there.
Navy Seal. Mr A slugged Johnny Somali in the face hard enough to rock his world right in front of the police. He just doesn't care. Now Mr A was understandably enough placed under arrest for this assault.
I'll circle back to that legal matter in a moment. Johnny Somali was also taken away by police but he was not cuffed when he was put into the patrol car. I don't know how the South Koreans do such things, but in the US, the absence of cuffs would typically indicate that Somali was not under arrest. Perhaps he was being brought to the police station to make a statement or file a complaint or some such humorously enough as Somali was being led away, the handcuffed mister A is calling out to him.
Have a good night. Somali tonight tonight, tonight, as Mr A was being loaded into a patrol car himself in custody. He told the local streamer on scene before being put in a police car. The former Korean Naval special Warfare member who rocked Johnny Somali says in the future, we will continue to deal with Children like Somali in Korea.
Don't mess with Korea. A local South Korean X account also posted on this noting that Mr A had already been released from custody and was getting plenty of love from the public that tweet reads, Mr A who served in the Korean Military UDT that's underwater demolitions team or navy seals is free and it was just live talking about Johnny Somali's incident. He was getting nonstop donations. This man is a hero love to see it. Now let's turn to some legal analysis. Obviously, the striking of Johnny Somali by Mr A was not anything we in the United States would qualify as self defense and I suspect the same is true in South Korea in the US. This would be a simple assault, meaning a non deadly assault, not likely to inflict death or serious bodily injury and would typically be a misdemeanor so punishable by up to a few weeks or maybe months in jail and a fine for a first offense, it would be highly unlikely to result in any jail time.
So this was a crime. Bad. Navy Seal bad. But if the striking of Johnny Somali by South Korean Navy Seal, Mr A was a crime.
How could it be so emotionally satisfying? Because emotionally we humans love the rough justice of F around. Find out, don't start. None won't be none. And what's called the educational beatdown, which really is what this striking of Johnny Somali is an educational beatdown.
If you're not familiar with the notion of an educational beat down, the term was created by an expert in the physical and psychological aspects of violence. A man named Rory Miller. Rory has been a guest on my show. He's written a ton of books on various aspects of physical violence and I'm a big fan of his work. I'm gonna be citing here from a web article he wrote on the subject of the educational beat down the EBD. And of course, I'll link to that in the description of today's show.
So let's jump into what Rory has to say about educational beat downs. He writes there are places in the United States where if you do something rude and improper, you will get disapproving looks and people will whisper about you, they might snub you in the coffee room or not invite you to go bowling. Now, I would add this also, of course applies not just to the US but to the world. Generally, Rory here is describing what we might call polite or civilized society. And while we have less of that in America than we used to, it does characterize a large majority of life in Asian nations like Japan and South Korea. Continuing with Rory, he writes and there are places in the US, we're doing something that society considers rude will get you beaten without a second thought. And I would add, every culture has its limits, even the normally rather restrained South Korean culture, what Rory is describing as being rude is really the violation of a standard or norm of behavior within that particular community.
Exactly the kind of conduct. Johnny Somali intentionally and aggressively engages in when he's in Japan or South Korea for the purpose of content creation. One consequence of such rudeness can be the educational beat down, the physical striking of the violator of norms by a respected member of the community that's being violated. Rory continues generally, if you were just stupid and should have known better, the educational beat down will be quick. Sometimes just a single strike almost offhand. It's a spanking between adults. If the recipient of the educational beatdown acknowledges that they were wrong, it's over quickly.
Now, I would add here, of course, the striking of Johnny Somali was over quickly but not because he acknowledged his wrongdoing, but because of the immediate police presence, this suggests that this particular educational beatdown is not in fact fully complete something Johnny Somali should keep in mind continuing with Rory. He writes, if the victim does not acknowledge that they broke a rule. If they argue or get indignant, then the assault, the educational beatdown will continue, will escalate the person who delivers the educational beatdown is usually a respected member of the group of the community like here where it's being delivered by a former South Korean Navy seal. Mr A.
Now again, I'll link to this article by Rory in the description of today's show. Now in the usual context where the victim of the educational beatdown is themselves a member of the community or at least someone who might be expected to return to engage with the community. The beat down is generally truly educational in nature. You broke one of our community standards of behavior and we perceive that a quick limited spanking will teach you to avoid doing that in the future and it mostly works in the context of Johnny Somali in South Korea. However, I don't expect that Somali is either bright enough to learn the lesson nor that South Korea will fail to understand that this is the case because in the absence of learning, the educational beat downs will continue and perhaps even escalate to a level that's no longer merely educational.
My advice for Johnny Somali then is to exit South Korea at his earliest convenience. It's the only prudent thing to do. In the meantime, it's my hope and expectation that Mr A will be treated leniently for his criminal offense given that he committed this very limited simple assault in service to his community. Ok.
