This post is a good example of how gullible people are, someone says it's fake and everyone believes it. No wonder why elections are won with social media posts.

But what he described definitely happens - a lot. I’ve seen it first hand. Just search “off the beach shark fishing”.

Yes but doesn't mean it happened here.

What I'm saying is we don't know for sure this guy is guilty of anything. There's lack of context.

If the context that is provided in the video ( the same context that u/MONSTERBEARMAN just provided) then you might need some help bro

THIS. I myself have this accent and healthy said hand. The irony of calling everyone gullible couch activists while making up their own bullshit doomed story based on opinion is very lost on them. The trust is we have zero idea what happened bc we have no context. For all we know someone already offered a multitool but it was a small pocket one and not helpful. Ppl would be surprised by how many southern men would have theirs in the beach bag on the beach lol never know when you’ll need it!
