Mizzy (TikTok "prankster")

Are we allowed to talk about this young man's videos and the wider impact he may have on youth culture?

(Not sure as it involves ongoing legal issues, I believe?)

I don't live in London, nor do I watch TikTok, so the behavior of this young man, and the police's lack of action towards him, has really shocked me! How was he only arrested and fined AFTER becoming infamous online? How is asking a lone young woman if she "wants to die" seen as funny?

Given his notoriety, I'm worried he will lead to a load of copycats now Angry

Not enough room in the prisons

Most likely. It’s a problem.

Not too sure about it. Prison doesn’t work either. He’ll get a few weeks, will be our in no time and that will be it. The only thing is that he’ll toughen up a bit and will get worse.

I don’t know what the solution is.

Well, if Missy's clever, he'll apologize to all his victims and make donations to charities of their choice.

He should then use his new media contacts to ask for entry-level jobs. He clearly wants to work in this field, so he should try and get a job in it and work his way up. It will show humility and progress, traits the judge will be impressed by.

I'm recruiting at the moment. No way would I touch someone like Mizzy.

I'm going to sound so old and I hate it but discipline and respect has gone down the toilet in the UK. People aren't afraid of the consequences of antisocial behaviour . DH was talking about moving to Singapore where his maternal family is based , I never wanted to move to such a strict boring place but I'm seeing the appeal. Mizzy would be caned as a legal punishment for the behaviour it has one of the lowest crime rates in the world, because theres consequences if your children are badly behaved it's shameful so they correct it. This pandering to the youth and soft justice doesn't work.

I suspect that Mizzy gets caned fairly regularly, albeit not the corporal punishment version

ToeJammed · 31/05/2023 14:29

Out on bail and the first thing he does is post on social media, which has been forbidden by the judge.
It just shows that he has absolutely no respect for anyone or anything, least of all the law.
I wonder when he will end up killing someone for the likes.

God no. I would imagine he would spend his time recording for social media, calling out people and karening them for any reason he wanted and generally being a massive pain in the arse. I definitely would not employ him.

If he has a child may be he could do 24 childcare and that would keep him out of trouble whilst the mother could work full time.

Artycrafts · 31/05/2023 15:48

He's what I call a professional space waster. Not funny, nor entertaining, in the slightest. In fact, his 'pranks' are more on the sociopathic side, rather than light hearted jokes.

Æthelred · 31/05/2023 15:54

I see he's been doxxed on Twitter and probably elsewhere.
I'll order some popcorn - I do not wish this kid well.

Respect! as Ali G said to Rhodes Boyson (I think it was?)

He's only got himself to blame for the doxxing. He was happy yo disrespect other people's privacy.

Elleherd · 31/05/2023 17:17

Sadly he's now 'in talks' with the Tate brothers so the attention and controversy he's after isn't likely to take a positive turn.

they'll make him their useful idiot...surely?
(not that they aren't idiots themselves but it'll be easy for them to manipulate this kid)

Catinabeanbag · 31/05/2023 17:31

They should 'sentence' him to join the army. Bit of peer pressure and discipline might point him in the right direction.

Manipulate him to do what?

He really doesn't need access to firearms or heavy machinery.

I think this is the best idea I've seen on this whole thread. The army beckons! it will hopefully make a good citizen out of him. Too much energy and too much time on his hands.

True.

Northernsouloldies · 31/05/2023 17:45

He's a little cunt that needs a bang on the jaw. People's houses with children and scaring the occupants.... Definitely not funny.

InsomniacVampire · 31/05/2023 18:18

Of course he is playing the 'racism' card because he is black and therefore in his eyes targeted because of his skin colour. You cant make this shit up ffs.

And this is part of the problem. I wouldn't hire Mizzy either, but then where does he go to earn money if nobody will hire him?!?

I don't have the answers; I'm just pointing out some of the wider issues someone like Mizzy will have.

The biggest problem in this country now is crime. Any political party that vows to get tougher than tough on crime will have my vote. All human rights of criminals need to be removed. If they cannot abide by the rules of society they cannot expect to be protected by those self same rules. It should be open season on lawbreakers.

HRTQueen · 01/06/2023 08:02

I can’t quite understand why there is so much control vitriol towards him the media have created this to be a much bigger issue than this story is

that is not playing down what he has done this needs to be dealt with but the more attention the more anger placed on him the more drama around him it’s very disproportionate

last week a couple were jailed for the murder of their baby. The reports ran side by side the violence this poor little baby suffered was absolutely horrific now I can I understand why people would want to see them suffer what they did was so cruel but yet so little response to this truly tragic story

I think many have played into what the press wanted to create from this story
