- A couple of teenagers peacefully fishing on the Fourth of July had their rod snapped by an irate man who said, "It's a private lake, for private people." The incident was caught on camera, and now he's internet-famous. Jesse Weber asks: what was he thinking?

Clenching his fist while threatening a teenager. What a clown!🤡😂
I'd be spending the night in jail if that were my kid.
we don't see before the "Kids" start filming. Why don't people raise "Kids" so they'd say we didn't know it was private! As Dr. Spock said 1960 finally, "I WAS WRONG YOU ARE CREATING MONSTERS" who are then creating monsters and so on>>> increasingly worse and sneaky.
@tommas2674
So after having watched the video
YOU have decided it was the kids who are the “Monsters”?
OK *KAREN*
@@TBirum1 Remember, we don't know exactly what led up to this incident
@@TheFreeAgent2024 Doesn't matter. You don't talk to people like that.
Man needs to be charged with assault.
Notice he did that to teenagers, not to a grown man.
Of course he did not try that with a grown man. Would have received an attatude adjustment that he may never forget.
@@ralphpeed3596 agreed
Seriously if I lived in that private community and I came across two teenagers fishing in that lake , the only thing I’d be asking is if they were getting any bites. Old bastard needs to take a chill pill. I don’t care that it was a private lake, he had no right in breaking that kids fishing rod. He’s just old , angry and a bully imo. If they weren’t hurting anyone and making assholes of themselves then I seriously don’t see a problem.
I agree . Karma is watching.
Yup! Agreed!
people do not stock their "private" lake for others. we don't see before the "Kids" start filming. Why don't people raise "Kids" so they'd say we didn't know it was private!

Wonder how he treats his neighbors?
@@lonettehendrick9836 his neighbors were behind him. whatever ever happened to "sorry we didn't know it was private" rather than "Kids" lol with their cameras ready for baiting snippet! because these unraised soon to be mega criminals KNEW they were Wrong.
Came for click bait waited for arrest for assault and criminal damage to property. Disappointed!
@traybernyeah because vandals are a lot better than a Karen😂😂
That's because you don't know anything and have false expectations. Get off the guy's property that's what you need to learn.
@@fifteenbyfiveThe lake is located in a Gated Neighborhood which means the Old Guy doesn't own the lake. There is other houses in the video near the lake. Everyone that owns property in the Gated Neighborhood has legal ownership of the lake and can use the lake along with the visitors of all of the property owners.
@@user-mc8se6uj2t Have you read the association by-laws? Most of that kind of gated community require appointments to be made for visitors that aren't accompanied by owners. That is, if they even allow unaccompanied visitors.
Those kids shouldn’t have broken the rules. Follow the law or you deserve punishment
So with all the, drugs, car jackings, break-ins, smash and grabs, these, tow kids were fishing and it was a, national security issue?

He likely has his entire identity wrapped up in the stupid McMansion he bought. Not only that, he’s realized he’s getting screwed by ridiculous HOA dues. He desperately wants the exclusivity and prestige that the HOA & his McMansion promised him. Deep down he realized he was a sucker for buying that overpriced house and the HOA fantasy. In desperation he attacked two kids fishing in a drainage pond.
I bet theres more to the story
ON PRIVATE PROPERTY
@@chrisdraughn5941 Astute analysis, Chris. Spot-on!
100% BULLY. !!
What is wrong with that adult bullying two young kids who just want to fish and not causing any trouble out in the neighborhood, yes I understand they are on private property but who in their right mind would intimidate, physical touch the young kid and damage their property just because they are at a large lake fishing up against multiple properties, that man is a 100% narcissist.
the "Kids" snippet! what had they already done. people do not stock their "private" lake for others. we don't see before the "Kids" start filming.

The old Guy acted like an Arrogant Entitled Kevin aka Karen by Committing the Crime of Destruction of Private Property by breaking the Teenager's fishing pole. Some Gated Neighborhoods have lakes that are located on the border of the Gated Neighborhood which means the Lakes have Public Access. The Teenagers could of been visiting with relatives or friends that live in the Gated Neighborhood. The Old Guy acted like He had been drinking alcohol earlier in the day.
old man is not wrong. "if" there is no public access or public easement to reach that location. otherwise yes its private property and they dont have permission to be there. however they can A. go ask any other homeowner to fish on their plot of land or B. find another location somewhere around the pond/lake.
Unless No Trespassing Signs are posted a Trespassing Charge Requires people to be previously told not to not be on the property by the property owners.
Wow 😳 get a grip, relax old guy
Sad thing is he runs a "Faith Based" charity which you know is 100% a scam.

Who cares about politics. He’s a creep
A $200 fishing rod, destruction of private property…you’re going to be posting bail Mr. Karen, and I’m getting a brand new fishing rod with psychological damages awarded. U fool! Truly, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING! Even if you were the private owner of that property, the only legal recourse for you is to call the police and have had them arrested, not destruction of their property!
None of that matters if the person(s) is trespassing on his land. they could simply walk next door and resume fishing then the man has zero say in the matter other than phoning police. the kids could also ask any other homeowner to fish on their plot of land. them standing there and not leaving (even if children) is considered a threat. the home owner can show force to protect himself/family/property.
The lake is located in a Gated Neighborhood. Unless there is No Trespassing Signs Posted the Teenagers cannot be Charged with Trespassing since a Trespassing Charge requires people to be previously told to not be on the property.

I think a male Karen is called Ken
It's Darren i think lol
I was thinking Di… never mind, don’t want a CZcams ban.
Around here we call em Chads
this dudes still a karen
Correct. He’s a Kevin 🎣👍🏼
This guy 100% doesn’t act that aggressive towards a grown man. He knew he could intimidate these kids
He's lucky neither one of those boys were mine.
Videos like this are a waste of time unless they show the outcome .
He is not wrong if that is his property. Threatening teens though will not go well. Best he could have done was ask them to leave and if they did not listen then call the police and leave it at that.
Asking them to leave is not wrong. Assaulting them and breaking their personal property is also illegal. He’s the adult here. There’s a way to handle this and this is not it.
The Teenagers was fishing in a lake located in a Gated Neighborhood. That means the Old Guy didn't own the lake. If the Teenagers was visiting relatives or friends that lived in the Gated Neighborhood They would be legally allowed to go fishing in the lake. The Old Guy acted like an Entitled Darren aka Karen and committed the Crime of Destruction of Private Property by breaking the Teenager's fishing pole.
@@user-mc8se6uj2t Visitors in most gated communities are supposed to be accompanied by the homeowners/kids they're visiting. These two were probably trespassing and trying to steal the fish that are stocked in the private lake.
And he didn't
@@OneWildTurkeyhe should have let the authorities handle it. But he made matters worse.
I would rather see kids fishing like I use to back in the day than see them doing crime's and getting up to no good...And getting away from those bloody video games and computers....
I see this as a felony, attacking teenagers and destroying property.
Being on private property
@@supme7558no, assault and battery. You did see that part right? 😬 It’s not end of story as you previously posted for the mere fact the teens were on private property. Regardless, the crime is assault and battery by angry grandpa.
Id rather see 2 young men fishing than a old man breaking a fishing rod that doesnt belong to him. 2 young men bothering NO ONE. I kayak fish and have been on public lakes and shot at by home owners who border the lake.smh
Trespassing and stealing from a lake. Sure. That explains a lot why this country has been destroyed.
May I ask.... why not be GENEROUS and say "Oh, a couple of 15 year old boys are fishing in my local pond. I used to fish when I was that age. It's no sweat to me one way or the other if they spend a couple of hours fishing there. Hey I hope they catch some fish and have a good time."
Perhaps that is an entire foreign language to this man who is willing to take a fishing rod out of a 15 year old kid's hand
and snap it in two.
Stop feeding into the entitlement of these people. Adults need to be charged for acting like this.
He wasn’t thinking, he was drinking
Get off his property! Do you understand English?

It sure seemed like he was drinking. Otherwise he probably would have called the cops first, before yelling at the kids who were trespassing and trying to steal the fish from the private lake that the homeowners in the community pay for.
WHAT ⁉️ WHAT HAPPENED YOU CAN’T JUST CUT IT OFF LIKE THAT ⁉️⁉️
Badly edited too. First the pole is broken then he's standing there with it, then whatever happened in between was edited out.
So did the police come, and what was the outcome? Would love to know what happened.
I have to admire those kids for not reacting and keeping their heads in spite of his nasty behavior.
investigation is open...no charges or arrest yet.
@@IGNANT4LIFE Kimberly Glenn, a Knox County Sheriff’s spokesperson, told TSG that after the videos were brought to the office’s attention, detectives opened an investigation (which is ongoing). Since the matter involves juveniles, further details about the probe are confidential.
So what was the outcome? Were they on private property or not? Was any one arrested?
No, they were fine being where they were, guys a nut case
The boys were fishing in a private HOA community lake.
He is fishing in the guy's backyard. When the man says leave, you better fing leave.
It’s possible their grandparents or someone they know live in that community and had given them permission. There are several homes on the video so it seems pretty obvious it’s not his personal lake. And even if it was, this is not the way to handle it. Ask them to leave if you can’t handle kids fishing in the community lake, and if they don’t leave then call the authorities. Assaulting them and breaking their personal property is also against the law.
@@kristinecox4667 I agree. His behavior was inexcusable. He needs to be made to pay for their fishing gear and any court cost. He's big and bad to two boys far smaller than him. I doubt that he is going to act this way in front of the judge.

While trespassing may be an outdoor activity; it is definitely not a legal one.

We have a private community with an HOA in my state where there are lakes are public and anyone can fish in them. Maybe the kids knew this was private, maybe not, but it doesn’t excuse assault.
“Karen” is so played out and tired
nah he is a male karen
In many areas it is illegal to block access to public bodies of water.
18 million views and counting. Imagine being THAT guy
lmao. wasted his whole life, and will be remembered as 'that pathetic old guy'
The two teenagers actually handled the situation quite well!
That man obviously has anger issues very very serious anger issues
I can understand he asking if they had permission to fish but my God he went absolutely insane over essentially nothing
There should be no “private” lakes! Let us fish. Nobody is getting hurt
I totally agree. I am against all private property. everything should be community owned. I also think that there should be no such thing as illegal aliens, even if they are visiting from outer space. borders & nations are all man-made nonsense, not endorsed by God.
If you trespass on my property, I'll show you what a private lake is.
B.s.
@@WTFisAuserFRCKINname yup.... These kids were lucky, someone like me won't yell, ill just let the dobermans take care of em, no doubt this guy was nice to them.
Actually those lakes that are private have fish because someone spent time and money to make them that way. No matter what people think man made lakes don't just magically have game fish in them. It takes a good plan and lots of money to have a fishing lake. Even then that SOB had no business acting like that and needs to be taught some manners.
what was the outcome of this ? he should be arrested for assault.
Two questions not answered. Was the old guy arrested? And were the kids trespassing?
Private = not public. Get off their property.
@@WTFisAuserFRCKINname Don't matter police asked the parents if they wanted to press assault charges against him they declined, you do not have the right to attack anyone that is not a threat and this was a community lake not his.
@@rooster1012Anyone trespassing on your property is already assumed to be a threat.
@@rooster1012 don't come to NH. If you think that's how it works, it won't end well. Trespass and you're playing a deadly game protected by the law which is well-known here...

Did he face any repercussions for this??? If this happened to my family I would press charges at the very least!!!
This guy is batshit crazy!
Wow unhinged because two boys were quietly fishing? Total madness
Generally speaking, lakes located in neighborhoods with HOAs are not controlled by the HOA but rather by the local water authority. Not sure of the details on this one, but it is a common misconception of residents that the lakes belong to them. Specifically speaking, kid should have kicked the old man's balls into tomorrow.
@@bevonostro................ Not in my state, most inland lakes the property owners have riparian rights.
This is how adults treated us teenagers all the time back in the day.
That’s easily a disorderly conduct charge on the man. The police would never charge those teens with trespassing. If the man had told the kids to leave his property without threatening them, even if he was rude about it, and the kids refused, then I think the cops would probably just make the kids leave.
The lake is located in a Gated Neighborhood.
The teens sounded so full of fear. Almost like they didn’t stage the incident themselves.
I hope that man was arrested for assaulting the two young teens then man handling them to get the fishing pole away from them only to break it in half, and threatening to take their cell phones.
I could see the two boys flinching in fear.
then why did they stay and harass the old maninstead of leaving without problem... oh true its the Gen that films when they get caught and play victim all the time.
They're not flinching in fear. They're cussing him out for trespassing on private property. You wouldn't understand because you probably vote for open borders.
@@mikescorpio13they weren’t just playing the victim. They became victims the moment he assaulted them. Two wrongs don’t make a right. So glad they filmed this.
@@kristinecox4667 yeah its called baiting for victim card.... go on someone else property and enrage them while filming for reactions.... we get it been done before.The man became wrong because of these 2 idiots fishing and filming.
@@mikescorpio13maybe they did, but he’s still responsible for his responses and actions. If he’d acted reasonably, there would have been nothing to film. Instead, he’s all over the internet looking unhinged. Probably a good lesson to us all to learn to regulate our emotions and if people try to bait us, to walk away instead of taking the bait and assaulting someone. We always have a choice. ALWAYS.
Picking on children .Real tuff guy!
over fishing this guy needs his brain looked at see and fishing is bad but a guy like this who can have a gun thats not a big thing but bothering kids fishing is a big deal
sad how one big mouth dude who is most likely a danger to others who knows if hes a right winger does not matter this should not had turn in to fight but when men walk around with guns because they love to thats not a big deal
Reminds me of Joe Biden.

Every 3rd cop or so is a carbon copy of this guy.
he should watch him self and hes on youtube so he should say hes sorry
My cat gets the same way when ever a car parks in front of our house he goes crazy
So what happened next did the police come? And did that old man get arrested? That old man needs to take a chill pill.
If your not going to show us the entire clip (Ending?) then at least leave a link to the full video!
I hope this guy gets charged with assault and vandalism
They are fishing ! Never yell at kids, THEY CAN RETALIATE!
What a horrible person
So, what is the out come of the old man bullying the 2 kids?
I still think they were trespassing, but if my husband ever behaved like that I would have him arrested myself and I would make sure the pole was replaced by the jackass. It scares me that kids argue with an adult behaving like that. Not safe l.
Someone's an Alcoholic for sure
If they are on private property why are all these commenters siding with the law breakers. This report was certainly not unbiased.
Assault is a crime. Asking them to leave and calling the authorities is not a crime. Two wrongs don’t make a right. This man is the adult here so even though he is not acting like one. He could have set an example here for the younger generation of how to handle things reasonably without resorting to assault. The comments on this post thread regarding how these kids are lucky because they would have done worse to these kids are honestly kind of sickening.
@@kristinecox4667 Kristine I did not say I would do worse nor did I condone anyone that said that nor do we have all the facts here. If these kids are on private property though and not leaving immediately when asked to do so then getting cocky while pulling out their phones to video tape they should be charged not only for trespass but for recording the property owner without his permission at least in my state they should be. When I was growing up and stumbled onto private property and homeowner confronted me I would apologize and leave immediately. The guy went slightly too far but these kids need to be taught a lesson that their parents obviously didn't. Once again, if they are on private property.

He’s probably pretty embarrassed now. A painful lesson.

It’s nice to see modern kids actually fishing, I’d invite them onto the private property anytime they want to fish.
And is it truly private property? They are quite far away from the lawns at the back of the houses after all. There are no Private Property signs posted. I don’t see any No Trespassing signage. It’s apparently not a gated community.
Nobody's property line extends to the retention pond's edge. If the kids were so much as visiting someone who lives there then they have every right to be there.
That man is absolute trash.
Hats off to the teenagers for keeping their cool, if someone broke my fishing rod I’d “gone nuclear” lol
I spent my younger years fishing all over the place. Me and my buddies would ride our bikes from fishin hole to fishin hole.
Someone ought to teach him what breathing under water is like. Legally of course.
He should be ashamed of himself but we all know Ken is just a miserable excuse for a human. Imo the kids were very respectful and this could have went south real quick.
FYI, a male Karen is called a Darren.
Dumb Matt.
The epitome of an old grumpy drunk 😳
No one is even using the lake so what good is it?
You can't fix stupid karens are broken💀
Well that was inconclusive, why post 1/2 of the story?
So are they not aloud to visit grandparents or relatives if any live there in a gated community?
Hopefully Matt Webster gets some visitors at his home to discuss this.
We do realize the youth of today do everything possible to trigger people then record to get famous and act as a victim. I don't believe for one second these kids weren't being disrespectful from the start.
You don't believe... Wow so you create a scenario of what you want to believe in your head and stereotype these kids fishing as CZcamsrs out being disrespectful.
That guy was clearly out of line with his threats. He actually deliberately broke a 200 dollar fishing rod.
Based solely on the evidence the kids are guilty of fishing where they weren't supposed to.
Chest bump is assault!!
18 million views ? yeah he just made his life a living hell 🤣
When I was a kid, strangers used to give us rods not break ours....
Gated community has a private lake?? More than likely it was just a retention pond for rainwater runnoff. If they're actually was a trespassing issue Karen should have let the cops take care of it.
That man is a coward he could have said the teens you’re on private property not supposed to fish here he didn’t have to get angry and break the kids Fishing pole and said it nice and calm and not let it actually do it did

Lots of tough guys picking on smaller weaker bodies and minds ! Its a shame because I am a 49-year-old 250 lb 6 ft 2 man and that would have bothered me for the rest of my life and he ruined his Pole . Douchebag of the week but there's a lot of contenders
I wonder what Matt Webster’s employer thought about Matt’s behavior in the local community.
East Tennesseans are some of the most depressed people in the United States, with Knoxville, the Tri-Cities, and Chattanooga all ranking in the top 10 most depressed cities in America.
They need help.
He's originally from Indiana, he moved to Tennessee just a few short years ago.
I can tell you this wasn’t a person raised here in Tennessee, we have been over run by people from new York and California , this adult was wrong!!!! He may not have been from new your or California , but if I had a crystal ball I would say not from Tennessee
He was from Indiana and moved to Knoxville in July 2018.
Where does the angry old man live??
Knoxville Tennessee.
Tennessee. SMH. Such a shit state.
I don’t get it. I don’t understand why anyone would care for a couple kids were fishing true some kids do it just to make a video and have somebody yell at them not saying that’s what they were doing here but they do do that type of thing, but there’s no excuse for what this guy did.
A male version of a Karen is referred to as a “ Kevin” 😉 🎣
@TizzyEnt and @ThatDaneshGuy showed his employer too. No charges filed. 🤬
So, was he arrested or what?
Has anyone checked this guys electronic devices?
He seems the type to have that kiddie nonsense stored somewhere for his delight
That's one way to become a meme for life.
Was the lake indeed private?
The lake is inside a Gated Neighborhood.
That guy can thank God that wasn’t my son. He’d be in the hospital and I’d probably be in jail.
Dad is that you?
Well what happened when the police arrived???? aaaaggghhhh!!!
Good luck to the neighbors in the cookie cutter homes.
so you just going to end it without telling us what happened to him?
If you live around there you need to go there today and go fishing.
