Touching others in public

[Sharon]

i don't think anyone has over reacted at all

sam pepper is a vile person for thinking this would be 'funny' to even film let alone upload. he's now coming up with the whole 'it was fake' 'it was all scripted' 'i did it to raise awareness' ******** when in reality if everyone did find it funny like he STUPIDLY expected then he would be proud of it and be making jokes about it by now. sam pepper is a coward to now try and find any excuse possible to try and justify this disgusting behaviour. it's surprising so many people are taking it lightly, he is scum and it really isn't acceptable at all to be doing **** like this especially when you have quite a big following and people are looking up to you as a role model (his younger subscribers) and having it being made out like doing this is 'ok' what a ******* idiot

The reactions from his victims range from shocked faces to nervous laughs, to a woman who leaps a good few metres away.

We wouldn't expect this behaviour from a school boy, let alone a fully grown man.
However, the internet isn't taking it lying down. Sam is receiving numerous unsubscribes from his YouTube channel, with many former fans demanding that he removes the video.

He's also been banned from pretty much every YouTube convention going and fellow YouTube stars including John and Hank Green and Tyler Oakley have condemned his actions

facepalm, he's such an idiot. He tweeted about Pizza instead of actually commenting or saying sorry.
