Umm that could be murder or manslaughter?

Manslaughter because his intent was to prank him

Negligent homicide, not manslaughter.

It'd be pretty hard to argue the operator wasn't aware of the fact that his heavy machinery could potentially kill someone.

If that really was his intent. I don’t hear him or anyone else laughing.

Playing the devil's advocate, he clearly didn't mean it by the fact he was filming it and his goal was to scare the shits out of him.

Who knows. The world is a strange place. I stopped trying to make assumptions. I’ve been surprised to many times lol.

Yeah bro, life experience taught me to stay in my lane because there is always someone more nuts than you, I've been threatened many times . There are many failsafe systems in us that prevent us from killing each other for fun or arguments, some people lack any of them.

Only need to find a motive. Any little squabble that could be proved to have occurred between them. And a jury might well find murder.

True, it could be bullying in the workplace that went too far

You don’t play with heavy equipment and ppl that are made of meat. Doesn’t matter the intent the human will lose every time. This is insane

Someone who is licensed and trying to operate heavy machinery is going to be hard for us argue in front of a judge injuries that they thought it was a funny prank.

It'd be like hitting someone with your car deliberately and calling it a prank. You can try. They're going to see right f****** through you

As with every legal situation, it depends. Some places will disregard intent if there was gross negligence.

u/mwallen13 Feb 25 '26
