Ramsey Khalid Ismael — better known as Johnny Somali, the infamous American streamer arrested in Japan, Israel, and South Korea for his provocative behavior — has been imprisoned in South Korea.
This made my day. He thought he was untouchable and now is in a forced labor camp for 6 months.
Dude is just one of the worst humans.
Apparently he kissed a statue of a woman that was built as a memorial to all the south Korean women that were raped by the Japanese during their colonial rule. In case anyone was wondering what he did to end up in jail.
I’m willing to bet he knew exactly what that statue was a memorial for.
“and performing lap dances on said statue” per the linked article
I’m OOtL on this one… who is he, and what did he do?
FAFO 4 U LOL
Good, idiots like this deserve to face the consequences of their actions
South Koreans aren’t the Japanese… they’re not known for playing around.
Finally some good news in 2026
Norwegian philosopher Arne Ness said it best:
“There is no freedom without responsibility - in fact, the two are intrinsically the same.”
Swedish philosopher Ane Nuss once said, “pffft”.
My anus says that 12 times a day.
Only 12? amateur numbers. You need more fiber in your diet.
Norway took credit for that comment and as a result we have the “puffin”.
From the country that brought you Klarna and “The Capitalist Manifesto”, everyone.

He is going in a boy And will come out a hole man
Sounds like he deserved it
"I know for a fact that I’m not going to go to jail. Not one day in jail. I’m going to laugh my ass off when all these motherf***ers are saying I’m going for 30 years, 20 years, five years, 10 years. I’m not even going to do one day, bro. They’ll give me a fine and say, ‘Don’t come back to Korea.’ You’re the one that’s going to look so dumb when I don’t get any jailtime or anything. Bro, I’m going to laugh like a f**king villain.
amazing.
He got 6 months, so he wasn’t too far off, unfortunately.
at the end of the day, his only crime is being annoying. He didn’t kill someone, didn’t steal anything, etc. So 6months seems fair.
This guy is like a reverse hostage. Countries will threaten to release him if they don’t get what they want.
It’s an SCP. The containment procedure is to livestream his location at all times and make it legal for everyone to beat him up.
Maybe outlawing people needs to come back as a penalty.
Only 6 months tho we think
six months in a South Korean work camp filled with actual criminals that have a great disdain for foreigners. oh, they racists too.
I think he’ll leave SK and never come back when he’s finally released.
He will also be a registered sex offender and not allowed back.
Good, these are the types of guys that go “It’s just a prank bro” or “It’s a social experiment” except it isn’t. It’s just you being an inconsiderate jerk.
There are a lot of enablers, the viewers that find all that bullshit funny. Guilty by association, I suppose
yeah, the kind that sets you on fire, shoots your wife and sells your children to Epstein, then goes “it’s just a prank bro”.
There’s tons of light-hearted, harmless pranks out there. A good laugh where everyone goes away a little bit happier.
This guy and his ilk on the other hand intentionally antagonise people to the point where they feel the need to defend themselves. Just because someone is out and about in public doesn’t mean they’re a free target for you to be shitty with them. Everyone has - or at least should have - the right to be unbothered in public by leeches like him.
People should also have the right to fight back with extreme prejudice if these morons lay hands on them first.
100% - but I meant the self defense part when they haven’t actually touched you, just gotten to the point where their actions can constitute harassment.
The defence would be that they felt their lives were being threatened by the persistent harrassment.
And given there was no physicality, that court case could go either way…
The point I’m trying to make is that people should be free of prosecution if they are being aggressively harassed, both physical and verbal. It used to be, you ran your mouth, you would get a punch in the face to knock some sense back into you. Immediate consequences for stupidity.
People who say “violence is never the answer” probably never got bullied or harassed themselves.
They’ll moralize about “just tell on them!” But that doesn’t do anything, and the harassment only gets worse after that.
Throughout my life, I’ve consistently gotten in more trouble for sticking up for myself than I’ve ever seen my bullies or harassers get in. It’s like the system wants us all to be pushovers and peons, not deserving even the ground beneath our feet. Or maybe I’ve just been tagged from birth as a “peasant” and therefore never been allowed to have a spine.
But honestly, you can see how much damage this is doing to society. “Violence is never the answer” means we have to tolerate intolerance. It gives free license to bigotry, and forces us to appease.
Violence was certainly the answer back in WWII. Nobody was gonna stop the Nazis simply by asking nicely.
But for decades now, people haven’t even been allowed to fight their bullies. And it shows…
Oh I agree. I’m just pointing out that currently, courts require physicality to happen for an overwhelming majority of physical self defense responses.
Ooh, do North Korea next.
