Really great video, Ken. Thanks for helping me tell my story. I hope that this can serve as a good example of what drone pilots face and how wild it is that this is peoples reactions to our hobby. Wishing everyone blue skies and good times for their future flying sessions 👏👏👏👏
So sorry to hear this happened to you man. Hopefully the way you responded and by sharing your story for others to see they aren't alone.
As a silver lining at least you got to do a video interview with Ken! I had seen your video rippin' that bando a few months ago, was interesting to see you on Ken's channel.
Take care man! Hopefully it's nothing but clear skies and happy flying for you from this point on.
@@Carguyforlife Thanks a lot man. Doing this video and getting to know Ken has definitely been a boon in this whole situation. That's a good way of looking at it
After having two guns shoved in my face in front of my own house (South Minneapolis) by two punks one night... I can relate to the PTSD item on a weapon wielder. All the more reason not to fly alone, hopefully you fetch a crew out in Cali - good luck from back in the flyover world. ✌
@@lambo_drives Yo! I'm from Saint Paul. I move back in may. Let's link.
heck yeah, sounds like a plan :-) got a couple more of us droners in the area too, rock on. @@BadLuckFPV
Oh man. You found a full-time Reddit mod out on their lunch break.
Hahahahahahha! Spot on.
🤣🤣🤣
💀💀
Facts!!! Lol
Lmfao😂😂😂😂
What a bizarre interaction…as soon as I heard “in California” everything made sense. Great video Ken! 👍
All the tall tale signs of California written all over it…. 😆
Hi Mark! 🍕
@@mickmucus Woodstocks all the way!
When you argue with an idiot it can be hard to identify who the idiot is.
Oooooooh, California ! Now I get it. That place is a giant open air mental hospital.
Most of America is now. Whatever happens in Cali, spreads everywhere soon after. The Open Air Mental hospital has opened up offices all across the USA..... Headquartered in the oval office with Patient Zero. Lol
The police officer saying it’s a “replica” is BS. If it was a replica firearm pulled on him, he would shot first and asked questions later.
That was a bizarre interaction but bud should have just ignored him and kept moving
I didn't see that either of you were trying to de-escalate the situation. Granted, he is a douche-bag that I would not want to encounter, but I think it could have been handled better. After seeing that he was unwilling to apply reason to the situation, the best thing to do would have been to pack up and walk away without saying a word, then reporting him to the police showing the brandished "weapon" from your video. If that was all that the Police had to see (leaving out the angry exchanges), then he should have been charged in some way.
This situation really lacked the "adult in the room".
Dude is definitely from cali. He loves to be a victim, despite what he says here.
I'm literally not from Cali 😂😂
Never argue with stupid people. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
That assumes you don't have the same amount or more experience than them. I'm a certified fucking idiot, but then I pulled my head out of my ass and got smarter. Now I beat them with logic AND stupid lol
@@Kedzie_ I'm not as dumb as I look. I am in fact WAY dumberer
*exactly* lol @@notsure1502
Every time I watch this video I shake my head at how pointless it was to argue with him...... I just kept my mouth running until I felt safe turning around to pack up.
@@BadLuckFPV the idiot trap is very effective. Gets me all the time 😆
To much soy on both parties. I was waiting for a slap fight, lol
Drones saved my life as well. Thanks for sharing the story of this. I got a head injury and nerve damage from my job as an electrician and had zero hobbies until i found the drone hobby. Its been a good way to just sit back and fly and try to heal over these years. I pray that i never have a run in like this with someone..
He should have NOT walked away AND called the copes himself.
I don't know.... the whole exchange is pretty cringe. When someone walks away, let them.
2 nerd arguing. I honestly think these 2 dudes could be friends once this is over with. They could Sit down and play D&D game or maybe Pokemon 😂
That was funny...
Until you had to go and insult Pokemon... What's next?
Taylor Swift!?
I'm gonna start packin'. Its a great conversation starter! 😅😅😅
Nerd fight!!
Lol rekt
@@BadLuckFPV you were both in a goofy loop of repeating yourselves. You really only had two choices. Either make him leave or you leave. Because it is not worth the headache, best bet is just leave.
@@jp-3dairgunworks152I'm gonna take this one opportunity to address this. Make him leave / stalling till I had a chance to turn around and get my stuff was exactly what I was doing...... There are about a hundred people in the comments saying "just leave" and yeah I was running my mouth but..... I did leave..... Like what are y'all talking about.
When someone said should I call the cops the answer to that question is yes
Call the cops. If you're not breaking the law and this guy says do you want me to call the cops? Say yes get a cop immediately it would have saved a lot of trouble in this video
A "replica" in this context only means that it has the looks like a similar fictional item in a game or a movie. It's still a knife.
The cops didn't want to because it was not them. If it would have been a cop he was approaching with that in his hand his family' would be planning his funeral!!
My exact thoughts. He should have asked the cop what he, the cop, would have done had the guy been acting like that and aggressively approached him with that “replica”.
Should've just started spitting star wars quotes and you'd have made a great friend 😂"These are not the drones you're looking for" 🤣
When I fly my drone, I always fly with a gun on me all the time. People wake up, start flying armed.
And that's why we carry pepper spray.
You just fuelled the fire, should have just ignored him
Exactly. 2 people met and neither of them had the personal skills to get themselves out of a wet paper sacks.
I was waiting for the "I know you are but what am I!"
This all could have been avoided if he just called the police to start with
Does that mean a plastic toothbrush with a sharpened tip is still just a toothbrush? Asking for a friend.
🤪
My daughters don't even bicker like this.
Jfc the drone pilot is just as stupid for arguing in CIRCLES with the knife guy. Either A. Just leave or B. Call the cops when you have a nutcase with a weapon. Seems he rather go in circles including the " duuuude im just tryna have fun". Knife guy AND pilot handled situation like morons.
He told Ken that he absolutely feared for his life, but i'm thinking, if that is the case, why would you keep calling the knife guy names?
@@christianb8900 @d.g.666 I'll weigh in here. I'm a motor mouth that's for sure, but I was trying to make myself formidable to him while also trying to find an opportunity to get my stuff packed up. Maybe not the best way to do it but I was scared. I had a million things running through my head and a lot of them were things that I wished I had said to other anti drone people. As far as calling the cops, I should have. I don't normally do that, but I've learned after this one for sure. Thanks for reading.
@@BadLuckFPV you handled yourself very well given the situation. It is a much different experience when it's happening to you. Ask me how I know.
A similar thing happened to me once. They haven't found his body yet.
Unusual problems require unusual solutions!🤣
Jokes aside, I think you handled the situation pretty well.
😂😂😂🎉🎉 bro walked up with a cosplay knife like he was role playing one of his game characters. 🎉 The vigilante attitude and hat floored me....I'm weak ASF!😂😂
Yuuup.😆
When someone says "Do you want me to call the cops" and 1) You know you're in the right and 2) THE DUDE HAS A VISIBLE WEAPON" the answer is always YES, call the cops!!!!!!
I know you guys are laughing about this. But that guy was really dangerous. Very glad your guest is ok
Some commercial pilots in command carry a bodycam and have access to pepper spray. Sign of the times.
I keep pepper spray on me wherever I go now. Seis la vie.
This is peak sword fighting with mouth sheilds.
Snowflake vs Snowflake
Where I live the knife guy would have gotten a beat down. Next time just call the cops.
abandoned golf course? the dude was worried you were gonna find where the bodies were buried
You don’t need consent to take a photo of a person in public.
He is lucky dude is so chill.
I’m from Oklahoma. What he did is highly illegal here too! If I pull my goggles off and see someone near me with a knife out, they would have an extremely high chance of being shot with no chance to explain shit.
Remote ID is going to make these situations worse, karens will have an App with a Map to go straight to the pilot (if they comply)
Preach.
Yup, F remote ID, the government, and Karen’s…
@@HelloDonkey9 huh? RemoteID use low power BT, works on all cell phone platforms
that's why we don't comply
When flying drones the best policy is land and leave ASAP. Even if you are 100% correct no contact with Police is what you want even in the best case up to possibly getting stabbed. Thanks for sharing this situation with us.
For some reason my comment seems to have been deleted. Maybe it was because I pointed out that Steve was flying illegally (no VO while using FPV)? As for the confrontatation, Steve should have called the cops immediately upon seeing the weapon. Regardless of being a "replica" It was pointed and could easily puncture a person. As for the guy who confronted him, I've seen peopl suggest he was autistic. He may have aspbergers, but it's hard to tell. But I don't think that's the right DSM call. People with aspbergers or austism tend to shy away from confrontation though they can get very upset and violent....I know because my GF's son is a high functioning with aspbergers and I've seen him get violent if pushed, but NEVER seen him just walk up to someone and confront them like this guy. He clearly has some issue but no one said specifically what that might be in this video, so ppl need to chill.
Steve should've called the police. He was threatened with a weapon. Fake or not, it is a weapon. A rock is a weapon.
The issue is about a "deadly weapon". A rock that can fit in a pocket is not a deadly weapon, even if you could technically kill someone with it.
As soon as you see he has a weapon its time to call authorities.
That “LIAR” at the end came from Deeeep Inside his soul!🤓🤣🎯
That's why there's a second amendment. Just saying!
@BadLuckFPV Sorry this happened! You come back to MN and get @KenHeron to come too and we will get everyone together and fly!
Who is setting the date? 🤘
Call the cops. End of story. These encounters and needless escalations are bad for everyone.
Normally I just start signing ASL and walk away.
CCW helps your confidence.
CARRY FIREARMS AND FLY makes life alot more stressfree
This is what happens when discord mods go outside
Oh this was in California. Nuff said
That is why it is necessary to carry concealed! Sorry that California takes self-defense off the table.
Hay Steve , don’t let that guy take away your freedom, and joy .
Dont do that in a stand your ground state, dude reasonably feared for his life.
I have a device called , The pepper blaster, I keep in my pocket anytime I’m flying or riding my E bike. It’s the perfect equalizer.
If you're scared then have a spotter with you, so nobody will sneak up on you
but, would a spotter have changed the dynamic? the brandisher of "toy" realistic looking weapon would still have been an issue.
remember, never use the drone as a four bladed flying Cuisinart ™, you WILL get in trouble.
Aren't we required to have a spotter? If you cannot physically see the drone you're piloting you need a spotter that has LOS.
Coming from a LEO and big time drone enthusiast I have to say “BOTH OF YOU WERE WRONG”. Dude what reason would you not call the police in a situation where someone brandishing a knife on you? Whatever negative thoughts or encounters you have had with police you have to let that go. Not all police are the same. But most Karen’s are. Especially ones that brandish knives. I would immediately been on the phone with 911. But I will say you did walk away and maintain distance which is a good thing. I hope after the fact you called 911 and reported this.
I’d rather deal with a Ken, a Karen, or a hallucinating drug addict than a cop, ANY DAY. At least then I won’t get assaulted, and arrested for no reason…
Depending on various factors such as what you look like, cops have a habit of making things a lot worse by already determining who is guilty before arriving on scene.
Would pilot be justified on drawing his own weapon on him while calling police?
You guys crack me up. As stated before all officers and people are not the same. John_doe and Rail I am sorry you feel that way about police. Being a black person born and raised in an inner city close to DC not once have an officer pulled me over or stopped me for no reason. Not once. I was raised when there was a program called officer friendly and there was respect for everyone in the community. If you were stopped there was a reason you were stopped and if you gave respect you received respect. To Sean I can not speak about California laws but where I live if you feel that your life is in danger when he brandished that knife and you articulate it (considering he was using video) and (this is most important) “YOU FOLLOW THE POLICE COMMANDS AND YOU ARE LICENSED TO CARRY” you won’t have an issue with the police. Now the states attorney is a different story. 😂.
But the easiest thing would just call 911. Someone mentioned this, it is a good thing if you are the first to call. Operator get to hear your story first.
Arguing with idiots.
Oh man, this guy is nuts. BadLuck, I can't believe that happened to you. Don't bring those crazies back to Minnesota! Lol Be glad to have you back soon Brotha!
Where is this new Awesome Fly meet Spot please !!
What you bet Kenny that he lives with his mom?
Yuuup.
It came out of his moms basement.
“That is how I opened” is Gold!🤣
03:10... You should have called the cops right then and there😂
First guy to call 911 wins.
He looks like chumlee from pawn stars 😂
The ofcr that told you that the item was not a deadly weapon was incorrect.
Because of the stupidity of the public and the Faa has encouraged the stupidity and aggression. That is why I quit flying.
Cartman is still on that "Respect my authoritah!"
Man that sucks. I'd much rather fly where you were flying than a busy park. I've been very lucky that all the people who have approached me were very cool about me flying. The most "serious" question I've gotten is "are you taking pictures" which I replied "No, I'm just flying and having fun."
Even a pencil can be a deadly weapon. Just ask John Wick. 😆 Seriously though, we ALL need to be careful out there.
....with a FUCKING PENCIL!!
Thanks for shining a light on this Ken, was uncomfortable to watch, but important.
What was the most uncomfortable part? Both of them acting like little girls?
@@RadDadisRad no, the fact that nowadays people are unpredictable and you never know what they are ultimately capable of. There's no shortage of stories online nowadays of small disagreements turning into situations where someone ends up dead.
Obviously we know Badluckfpv is fine now...but we would've never seen the video if stuff went sideways.
Long gone are the days where the most a small disagreement/confrontation could end in was a simple fist fight, now you gotta worry about all types of crazy people going to extremes.
For me, that was the most uncomfortable part.
@@Carguyforlife bro, grow a pair and be a man. If this upset you you should probably get some hormone therapy. Nothing about this upset me. The guy that approached him looked like a crumb swept out of a crack from a GameStop. Nothing about that guys weird demeanor was scary. He was trying to act like he had some power.
We have proof the camera does add 300 pounds 😂
And boobs too.😂
Thanks Ken for supporting someone in need. Kudos to you!
Always!
Make no mistake, sharp and pointed, made of metal, that's a deadly weapon and in the way he was holding it in a threatening stabbing motion, made his intention clear!
The police need to relook at this and deal with the guy properly before he hurts somebody⚠️😲😳
The way it is marketed as an 'imitation' or a replica is just purely to get around certain laws re selling knives and weapons etc
If this doesn't wake you all up to how RID is BAD for all of our safety, I don't know what will?
Well it's California.
wow how much cheese did you eat with all that wine
Right? Sounds a little like Karen vs Karen here.
Once I was flying on my own on at public high school when a booster approached threatening to call the police. When I told him that I was allowed to, he ripped my goggles off my face. I was also only 14 and took my bike to go flying. Needless to say a bystander called the police and the tables turned onto him because he physically attacked me.
Too much Soy.
Replica or not, I can bet you if that Karen would have acted like that to a police, he would have been shot.
I thought the Karen was a freaking idiot. I would have called the police two minutes into it. I sure as hell wouldn't stand there entertaining his ass.
Thanks for sharing Ken. 👍👍👍
any tool , pencil , rolled up magazine etc. if you use any thing in a manor that endangers some or use it as a weapon it is considered a deadly weapon by law enforcement , that dagger was absolutely a deadly weaon listed as a replica or not . the wacko was definitely carrying it as a weapon
Very true
This is only going to compound the need for a spotter while under the goggles. If you're gonna fly alone maybe your spotter needs to be a concealed spotter. Don't play the victim, educate everyone by each incident. Rainbows and unicorns indeed.
DISCORD MOD ALERT
my man casually carrying around a replica of an in game weapon
It may not have made a difference but I feel like he was way to confrontational on how he handled this. Seems like when there was distance he would say things to escalate it. I agree the guy was wrong for harassing him but he also ran is mouth which doesn't help his situation at all.
The more I see stuff like this the more I think I need to get a body cam.
agreed. wasp spray is good to have in a backpack - 20' reach, so if someone gets up in my business, they will have issues...
@@steveday2022 Do not use wasp spray or anything agenst its lableing it will break your self defence claim. Go get some pompepperspray.
He's weilding a +5 kunai of self-empowerment. Penalty of -10 to intelligence just to use it.
I sincerely hope you pressed charges. He absolutely committed a felony and you have it on film. Dude belongs under supervision
Cons make shivs out of ink pens, and tightly packed paper. To say this wasn't a weapon because it was a replica is ludicrious. It can still puncture the skin even if it doesn't have a sharpened edge. People have been stabbed to death with pencils.
ADVICE::: I feel for the drone dude,,BUT 1)don't ever monologue with a Type 2 diabetic "Klingon" my God!! 2)Try that $hit in a small town. 3)Open carry works. 4)And get a girlfriend-- Good Luck! Great interview Ken!❤😂❤
Our country is fkd… these are what the next generation of voters consist of
Karen and drone karen
Wow that dude is a stage 5 mother clinger!
Common folks respond with instant and raw violence to a stranger brandishing the knife like that. He is certainly very lucky for finding such a gentleman to mess with.
What's funny is people watch drone footage in the news over the key bridge in the races following their favorite car and over sports games...and don't even realize how normal drones are...
I know exactly how you feel... you did good man. Don't let that duche bag get between you and life.
This is pretty insane. I actually recently found this guy's channel and he can really rip.
Has anyone forwarded this video to the authorities. This guy is only going to escalate. Save someone’s life in the future
Someone following me whilst brandishing a weapon as he was doing would get a face full of pepper spray after about the 3rd warning to "cease following me".
