What happened on the Apple River in summer 2022?
So this old man is about to take a knife and unalive someone, but was it self-defense? So the guy's name is Nikolai and Nikolai is 54. He's living in Wisconsin. And one day it's summer 2022 and Nikolai and his friends, they decide to get some inner tubes and some alcohol and go float the local river. So they're like, sweet, let's go. And they drive out there and they put their inner tubes in the water and they float a while and they're all drinking and having a good time. But then suddenly one of Nikolai's friends can't find his phone. It seems to be lost. And so they look around a bit, but no luck. They can't find it. And they realize, oh, bro. you must have dropped it along the way, like as we were floating.
And so Nikolai's a decent guy and he wants to help his friend out. And so he's like, well, I'll go find it. I got my goggles and my snorkel and I'll go back and look for it in the river where we were just at. And so Nikolai goes back a ways and he jumps in the river and he's like searching around looking for this phone. And that's when he sees this group of teenagers across the river.
Why did Nikolai go back into the river?
And it looks like maybe they just found something. I think like maybe one of them just happened to be holding a phone up or something, and Nikolai's like, oh, that must be the phone. But whatever the reason, he goes over to them to check it out. Now, these teenagers, they're partying, they're drunk, they're having a good time, they're being rowdy. And so when Nikolai, this awkward middle-aged man, comes over to them, they're understandably weirded out. They're like, what the , who is this? And one of them starts filming him. where does he are Now, I don't know why, but Nikolai doesn't really say much to them. Like, he doesn't stop and explain that he's there looking for his friend's phone. I don't know, maybe it's because he's drunk.
I don't know. Regardless, the teens get irritated. They don't know who he is or why the hell he's there, so they start telling him to leave.
Get away from us!
What escalated the situation between Nikolai and the teenagers?
What? ! And from here, things really start to escalate. Suddenly, a woman from another totally different separate group comes over and she starts yelling at him to leave. Then, for some reason, they start loudly accusing him of being a P3DO.
But Nikolai, he still isn't leaving. In fact he isn't saying much at all. Then the group of teens, they all start surrounding him. And there's like 13 of them. And they start taunting him. And Nikolai, he's getting nervous at this point. I mean, there's a lot of people around him yelling at him. He's suddenly aware of how outnumbered he is. And so he does the only thing he can think of. He pulls a pocket knife out of his trunks. And if you pause the footage and zoom in, you can see the knife in his hand right here. However, the teens, they don't see the knife, and they keep yelling at him, and they keep taunting him. Oh, my God! And here is where shit gets crazy and violent. Now, what sets this violence off is actually in dispute. The teens, they claim that Nikolai hits one of the girls in the group. I guess they say he punched her. But Nikolai says he didn't do that. And while someone is filming all this, unfortunately, the footage is too chaotic and you can't see it.
How did the confrontation turn violent?
Regardless of whether he hits someone or not, what we can see is how the teens react. And I'll slow down the footage for you so that we can talk about it. So here you can see that they push Nikolai down and you can see him falling back into the water. And then one of the teens runs up and boom, slaps him. But I can't show you that part, it's too violent for this app, so we'll skip past it.
What was the outcome of the altercation?
Then Nikolai tries to get up and you can see this guy push him back down again. And then the guy comes back to push him another time. Now, if I pause the video here, you can't see it because of the resolution, but Nikolai still has that knife in his hand. And I can't show you, but he goes ahead and he stabs the guy who pushed him right in the stomach. Now, at this point, most of the teens don't seem to realize that their friend was stabbed and they continue to surround Nikolai and touch him. And then, unfortunately, the camera pans away so we don't actually have footage of this next part. And I'll just explain it to you. So one of the teens, his name is Isaac and he's 17.
