with cameras almost everywhere -- what may once have been a private lapse in judgment -- >> denver, did you do this? or a miner embarrassment? can be seen by millions almost immediately. >> they could be on the internet the next day if they're not kaufrl. >> and live online forever. >> i'll show you on youtube later on what you look like. >> video shaming. >> he was like i feel terrible that you guys have it on camera and i was like, too bad. >> is it helpful? >> we speak english in america. >> or just mean?
6:01 pm
>> a simple recording can actually change a person's life. >> what the blp are you doing? >> people being captured for their worst behavior is like 15 minutes of shame. caught on camera, exposed. this is for my daughter, hannah and more importantly for all her friends on facebook who thought that her little rebellious post was cute. >> a dad responds to a post from his daughter on facebook. by fighting fire with firepower. >> that right there is your laptop. this right here? is my .45. that was the first round. >> february 7th, 2012, tommy jordan an i.t. professional is fixing his 15-year-old daughter's laptop when he comes across a post on facebook that
6:02 pm
had been hidden from both him and his wife. >> we were installing software i'm killing time and i happen to browse over to the dog's facebook page. because the dog has their own page on facebook. >> i blocked my family from seeing my facebook post. >> she forgot to block the family dog. so in all honesty, it's the dog's fault. >> what tommy finds on bonnie the dog's page is an obscenity-laced tirade that hannah posted. let's just say he didn't click "like." >> the only way i was going to get the message across on the venue she posted it. is to post it. >> he captures his thoughts on video. >> as soon as i'm done, i'm going post this on your facebook wall. >> why did i grab a camera and record it as opposed to just replying in a facebook comment? i'm not really sure, actually. >> this is called to my parents, by the way.
6:03 pm
to my parents. i'm not your damn slave. it's not my responsibility to clean up your [ bleep ]. >> i kind of got stressed out and everything was really bottled up and kind of exploded. >> you tell me at least once a day that i have to get a job. i love this part -- you could just pay me for all the [ bleep ] i do around the house. seriously? are you kidding me. >> facebook was up, i typed it out. i didn't mean to post it when you hit enter it posted automatically for you and i didn't take it down. >> i saw the post i thought i would never want a parent to see that and think that was the language that was used at my household and that was okay. if i were a parent and i saw a kid talking like that, i would never let my kid go there again. >> i'm tired of this [ bleep ]. next time i have to pour a cup of coffee, i'm going to flip [ bleep ]. i have no idea i would hate to see the day when you're too old
6:04 pm
to wipe your ass and call me for help and i won't be there. sign, your pissed kid. signed, hannah. >> it's what he does next that makes news. >> i warned you months ago. about what would happen if you did something like this on facebook again. >> i had done something a couple of months previous. he had said something about how if i did something similar to that again, he was going to put a bullet through my computer. i i brushed it off like yeah, okay. who does that. >> i'm going to put a stop to it right now. >> tommy jordan is about to become an internet legend. >> that right there is your laptop. you see it's out here on the ground. this right here? is my .45. that was the first round. these are exploding hollow-point rounds. from yeah, and you have to pay me back for these, too. because these are about $1 apiece.
6:05 pm
one two, three, four, five, six. and after that comment you made about your mom? your mom told me to be sure i put one in there for her so that one's from her. and if i got one left -- i got two left. now i'm out. >> why did i take it outside and shoot it as opposed to beating it with a hammer. so many hundreds of thousands of people said you should have given it to charity. i'm big on keeping my word. i said do it again and i'll put a bullet through your laptop. >> tommy uploads the video to youtube, posts it on his own facebook page and share it is on hannah's page for her friends to see. at the time they have fewer than 200 facebook friends combined. >> i expected 15, 20 people to see it. hopefully the parents of the friends that saw the first post, hopefully the audience that saw her post. that was about it. >> but that wasn't it. by the time hannah first sees the video at school that day,
6:06 pm
the number of views is already in the thousands. >> my friends showed me and it had probably about 4,000 views at the time. >> tommy waits all day to talk to hannah about her post and his reply. however if a heart to heart with hannah is going to come, it will have to wait. >> i forget what the event was, but she didn't even get in until like 10:30 that night. at that point my wife and i are so emotionally drained. literally we've cried, we've yelled, we've talked, we've cried some more. hannah came in, pretty much said hi, love you, went to bed. >> the following day tommy begins to realize the firestorm he started. >> sometime in the next i say 36 hours or so after all this was published, i can dell there's feedback coming from the web because my account on facebook is blowing slam up. >> the family's sudden internet fame starts to affect their daily life. >> it was just really strange to think well we can't go together
6:07 pm
anywhere. and not be noticed. >> people are parking across the road stalking my family trying to come find parts of a broken laptop in my yard. that's how strange it got that fast. it was a little weird to deal with. >> as the number of views on youtube and facebook explodes, so does the media coverage. >> so i had ridden the bus and the next couple weeks my dad had to get out of bed and take me to school. because he was afraid there was going to be news vans in the driveway. >> tommy finds himself criticized on national television. >> take a gun -- that's ridiculous. >> what are you going to do now? go blow up the car? >> tommy is roundly lampooned on the internet. and since tommy didn't break any law, no charges are ever brought. but the family still feels under siege. and yet, tommy says, the experience actually brings them closer together. >> it made us more communicative. because we had to be.
6:08 pm
we spent a lot more time together, we couldn't go out to pizza hut. >> short-term, our relationship was affected, we were just kind of you know, angry, awkward, didn't really know what to say, when to say it, how to say it. >> set it up over here. >> long-term, i think it helped us out not necessarily greatly, but we definitely understand that something needed to change, we needed to figure out a better twi handle situations. >> in the following years, more than 40 million people see the clip on youtube alone. and tommy's supporters and detractors seem to be evenly split. >> i get asked to write books about parenting. i'm like, are you kidding me? are you serious? >> pay you for chores? are you out of your mind. >> you people don't know me except eight minutes of my life. and you think i'm a parenting guru? i have a great kid, i have a great daughter, she made one mistake. >> years after the video was posted, the family says they have emerged from the crisis. at the time many predicted that
6:09 pm
tommy was irrec kaably damaging han in a and his relationship with her. >> she's not drug addicted, she graduated from high school with honors, she went to college. that's the kind of kid i have. >> i wouldn't say i'm glad he shot my laptop nine times. >> i got two left. now i'm out. >> it was kind of obnoxious when i first saw it. i'm glad what's happened since then. >> hope you've enjoyed your little fiasco on facebook. hope it was worth all this. have a good day, y'all. coming up, intolerance caught on camera. for all to see. >> we speak english in america. and later -- a fast food tantrum goes viral. >> i don't want people to think of me as a crazy, outrageous psychopath. >> when "caught on camera: exposed" continues.

6:13 pm
we speak english in america. >> how's this for an english first debate? a loud argument over languagend american identity at a local restaurant. >> she speaks english. she's not perfect. >> and the woman who starts the heated exchange has her views seen by millions. >> i say -- she's from spain. >> you can't be doing that. >> i've been to spain, so i know. >> july 31st, 2015, los angeles, california. carlos vasquez is l.a.-born and raised, his folks legally immigrated from el salvador in 1986. it's the day before carlos' 24th birthday and the family is celebrating by going to one of their favorite restaurants. >> it's been a tradition for my mom to go to an i-hop for our
6:14 pm
birthdays like me and my mother's brirt dirthdays. >> translator: as we were called to our table a woman appears, she began speaking loudly, shouting that english is spoken here. if i'm talking to my family in my language i don't know why she was offended. >> i interrupted her and told her, don't wait, speak to my mom that way, she speaks english. she hut me up. she said you're from the mexican mafia and you like to kill people. that's when i got offended. >> you can't say to to my parents, they speak english, not perfect, but they speak it. i was very angry inside. i didn't show it or express it. so i thought the only way she's going to understand me is if i speak to her in a calm way. don't talk to my parents like that you got to have respect.
6:15 pm
>> i'm not trashing, you trashing. >> you go back to spain. >> be quiet. >> close your mouth. i speak english, too. huh? okay? i speak english. now go, i speak english. i live in this country. [ bleep ]. >> you idiot. >> was confused and i was lost in emotion because i was watching my mom cry to a stranger that did not deserve any of this. >> we don't like the nazis back. we don't want the fascists back. >> who's talking about nazis here? >> we don't want castro back? >> who's talking about castro back? >> she's talking about nazis and castro, i can't scream at this la lady. >> translator: though she saw my son recording, she didn't change. there remained the same aggression and anger. >> fortunately, the video
6:16 pm
stopped by itself. we sat down at the table and i was angry, writing about what was going on and i posted it. i didn't even wait. when i posted the video, i really wanted my friends to see what was going on. because my friends knew it was my birthday and me sharing this, they were going to be like whoa, that's very unfair. i never thought the video would go viral at all. >> just a few months after carlos puts the video on facebook, his post has more than 19 million views. the video has also been seen much more times on youtube and other sites. >> translator: my friend said bravo, norma, we saw you, don't let them bring you down. we support you, some people recognized me in the street and they asked are you from that video? and i said yes, and they said congratulations, good job. >> carlos and norma start reading the many comments coming in. >> translator: i said wow, that's great. good people empathize and support me, because the word can prop you up so you don't feel so
6:17 pm
trampled. >> some good messages, some were still offending us, but it didn't really hurt us, because most of the messages were positive vibes and comments towards my mom. >> msnbc tried to contact the woman. but no one from the restaurant knew her name or how to reach her. and unlike many viral videos, no one has stepped forward to identify her. still, mother and son are both glad that this disturbing moment got caught on camera. >> translator: the phone has become a weapon of defense to capture anything that is not right. previous things stayed anonymous, no one knew anything, but the technology now helps us to have evidence and publish it. >> a phone does have power. if you record it, it could be worldwide seen by many people. >> we have freedom of speech. >> you're the proof of it. from california to new york, another person crosses the line. >> i called you a [ bleep ]
6:18 pm
you're a [ bleep ] nasty [ bleep ]. >> and her outburst is exposed for the public to see. >> racism is alive and well. i tell you. alive and well. amazing. absolutely amazing. may 30th, 2014, narvo benning starts his day in a suburb just east of buffalo, new york. >> it was a day, exactly like today. it was summer just started to hit. benning is headed to work when he realizes he has forgotten something. >> i say you know what? let me go to a store and get off at the next exit and grab some deodorant. i was parked right next to where this car is. i get out, and go in the store. >> the trip to the store is uneventful. >> so i'm coming out of the store with my deodorant and i see her two kids standing on the sidewalk directly in front of the, in front of my vehicle, the mother was a few steps behind.
6:19 pm
so i get in my vehicle. and i look down for a little bit, her kids stop directly on the sidewalk in front of my vehicle. they weren't in the parking lot. they weren't behind my truck. so i started my car after the kids were directly in front of the vehicle, the little girl got startled. so she did like you know, like that. so the mother comes walking down faster, and that's when she starts screaming obscenities. i heard her say the "n" word. i said what did you just is say to me? so she said you heard what i said. i ended up finding my phone. that's when she's walking directly to the vehicle. and that's when i started taping. i have her on tape calling me racist comments, calling me a [ bleep ] in front of her kids. >> you scared my children. >> there's cameras out here. >> i wanted to confirm reaffirm that she actually said that. >> the woman calls someone she later refers to as her husband. >> talk to this [ bleep ] right
6:20 pm
now. i'm telling you he's video recording me, he scared the [ bleep ] out of angie. he wanted to run his mouth talking to me about [ bleep ] he's got me on videotape. i called you a [ bleep ]. you're a [ bleep ] nasty [ bleep ]. >> okay. the racial tension around here is a bit crazy, anyway. if they would have put me in a situation where i would have probably been arrested if i didn't have evidence of what happened. i'm glad i had the evidence. so if anything else was said, hey, guess what, i have it on tape. this is how it went down. >> the woman's rage displayed in front of her children, gets ratcheted up even further. >> get the video off my kids! now! or i will [ bleep ] break it. i'm going to whip my coffee at him. >> go ahead. [ bleep ] [ bleep ] nasty
6:21 pm
[ bleep ]. >> when the woman goes in the store. benning decides to get on with his day. >> i said you know what, let me just go to work, be done with it. you can't get angry enough to use that word. no one should use it in that connotation, it's wrong. because it has crazy history behind it. >> at work benning shows the video to his colleagues. >> i was going to show my co-workers, and that's it. one of my co-workers is like, you should post that. that's absolutely wrong. and i said yeah, it's crazy. he's like i can't believe she did that. >> benning posts the video on youtube. it doesn't take long to go viral. perhaps in the footage, she mentions she's a local stripper. >> you ain't getting far, bitch. >> the woman is soon side fied by viewers. her personal information, including address, telephone number and email address are revealed on social media. and she becomes the target of threats. within a few days, she goes on local radio, wblk, and tells her
6:22 pm
side of the story. saying that benning had used an epithet against her prior to the recording. >> i'm sorry, i'm not a racist. if he didn't try to almost hit my kids, none of this would have even happened. and to call me a crack-headed cracker. >> let me ask you a question. if the guy were standing here with me right now, what would you want to say to him? >> honestly for ruining my life, for me about to lose all my kids, you want to know my answer? it's not a very wise one. >> since the radio broadcast, the woman has not granted any interviews and because her phone, email and social media presence have all been closed down, msnbc's attempts to reach her were unsuccessful. >> have you ever called anybody a crack centre. >> i'm laughing at it, because that doesn't even sound like a word, i can't even say it to myself. that's something i don't teach my kids. it's just something i can't form my mouth to say at all.
6:23 pm
>> benning says most of the reaction has been positive. making him wish he had been able to capture similar moments from his youth. >> if i was able to expose people growing up, i would have to have a big vhs recorder on my shoulder at all times. luckily i had a phone that was able to record this one time for the world to see it not to cause shame on her, but to let the world know that this is still happening. >> racism is alive and well. i tell you, alive and well. coming up -- >> who are you, then? >> a who's who of road rage. when "caught on camera" returns. or safe driving bonus checks. even a claim satisfaction guaranteeeeeeeeeee! in means protection plus unique extras only from
6:24 pm
an expert allstate agent. it's good to be in, good hands.

6:26 pm
a heated exchange dissolves into a tirade that sounds more like a comedy routine. >> who are you then? >> tony pickwin. >> who? >> tony pickwin. >> leaving the man on the scooter and later a huge portion of internet users, wanting to know -- >> who the [ bleep ] is that? >> september 21st, 2015, steve
6:27 pm
middleton lives in hull, england. he use as scooter to commute to and from work and he has a helmet cam on every time he's out riding. >> i have a camera on the helmet. it points forward to collect any evidence in case that i have a crash. >> middleton approach as traffic circle called a round-about in the uk. >> i was just coming home from work one night. approaching the round-about very similar to this one and i saw a line of cars waiting, i could see a gap i could pull into. i was just waiting in the queue of the round-about, waiting to pull off. [ beep ] >> he blasted his horn at me. >> pulling into the round-about, was perfectly legal. he just got upset because i jumped the queue. >> middleton goes through the traffic circle and then turns right. but the man who was behind him at the round-about blocks his way.
6:28 pm
>> what's your problem? >> [ bleep ]. >> why am i? what? you got a problem, ain't you. >> yeah, you have. >> get your helmet off, then. >> i was mystified. i didn't really understand what it was all about. >> you know, do you know who i am? >> do i care? >> i didn't know who he was. and i thought to meself at first, i thought -- who is he? i was thinking should i know him. >> who are you then? >> tony pickwin. >> he said his name. i still didn't know who he was. >> tony pickwin. >> ronnie pickwin. the bare-knuckle boxer. >> sew said -- who? and he said it again. >> ronny pickwin. >> who is that? >> me. >> wow, brilliant. >> [ bleep ] off them. >> you [ bleep ]. >> the exchange seems to be over. but pickering pulse over again
6:29 pm
to challenge middleton to a fight. >> i thought it was going a bit too far. i couldn't understand it. >> let's have a bare knuckle then. >> what's that go 0ing to prove. >> you, i'm going to knock you out. >> sure. >> you said who you are. you're ronnie pickering. >> pickering seems oblivious to the fact that his comments and actions are being caught on camera. >> but once it's pointed out, the confrontation soon ends. >> i'll show you on youtube let it run. >> well that little thing. >> you bet. >> with that there? >> yeah. put you on youtube, all right? >> i wasn't sure he was going to chase me a third time. i looked around my shoulder. i saw him making a three-point turn. >> that evening steve makes good on his promise to post the video. >> ronnie pickering. >> i was hoping he would go home
6:30 pm
and he would write his name on to youtube and it would come up on the view. i thought it would shake him into behaving bet anywhere the fewer. >> msnbc contacted mr. pickering but he refused to speak with us. middleton said there's been no direct contact between him and pickering since. middleton can't be sure he's seen the video. but millions of others have. within days the clip becomes a national phenomenon complete with scores of online parodies. >> ronnie pickering. ronnie pickering. bare knuckle fight if you want. >> you know who i am? >> no idea. >> ronnie pickering. >> who? >> ronnie pickering. >> much of britain seems to want to know who is ronnie pickering. it's revealed that in his heyday pickering did do some amateur fighting and may have been better known. but prior to this video he's
6:31 pm
hardly a household name. >> at first i felt a little responsible when i realized the whole world was laughing at him. but i realized he did it himself. >> i think he was just some bloke in a car. >> ronnie pickering. coming up -- a drive loses his cool in the arizona heat. >> you got a problem? >> yeah, i got a problem. >> when "caught on camera: exposed" continues. "burn." is that what the kids are saying now? i'm so bored, i'm dead. you can always compare rates on progressive.com. oh, that's nice, dear. but could you compare camping trips? because this one would win. all i want to do is enjoy nature and peace and quiet! it's not about winning. it's about helping people find a great rate even if it's not with progressive. -ugh. insurance. -when i said "peace and quiet," did you hear, "talk more and disappoint me"? ♪ do do do do ♪ skiddly do do ♪ camping with the family ♪ [ flame whooshes ]

investigators in orlando working to find a motive behind the murder of christina grimmie, the former contestant on nbc's "the voice" was shot to death last night while greeting fans after her concert. police say her killer, 27-year-old kevin loibl drove to orlando intending to kill grimmie. he turned the gun on himself during a struggle with the singer's brother. note offering condolences to
6:35 pm
grimmie's family, friends and fans was found posted on her killer's front door. now back to "caught on camera." a driver sees red. >> you got a problem? >> yeah, i got a problem. >> losing control. >> you better stop. >> stop. >> and learns he's clashing with the wrong motorcyclist. >> are you going to behave? are you done? july 11th, 2015, yuma, arizona, cody and louisa loi are a young couple trying to find time to be together. munoz works nights and loi works days, but on this day, cody is off work. >> was looking forward to spending time with luisa, because of our schedule we don't get to see each other as much as we like to.
6:36 pm
>> the two head off using their favorite mode of transportation. >> it was a nice day to go riding. so we decide to go with it instead of a car. >> but their relaxing date is about to get a lot more intense when they encounter a driver behaving erratically. >> we're coming down this hill at the previous stoplight. that's when he started honking and swerving back and forth on me. so i got my right lane expecting him to just pass me and everything like that but instead of passing me, he got behind me. this is the stoplight where he got out of. and i pulled up to the line right here. and expecting him to just stay in his car and be angry. >> but the driver doesn't stay in the car. he's ready for a confrontation. >> you got a problem. >> yeah, i got a problem. >> stop it. >> after hitting munoz, he shoves loi.
6:37 pm
>> hay. you better [ bleep ] step off. right now. >> kind of went to sucker punch me and that's when i started stepping back and everything like that. he, about right here with his sewer grate is i when he kind of sort of tripped and i kind of used that to kind of bring him to the ground. >> stop, are you done? are you done? stop. dude, i did nothing to you. >> yeah, you broke the law. >> munoz guesses this attack has something to do with the fact that he had threaded between the man's car and a city bus. nbc news reached the driver, but he declined to comment. >> i went in between you on a road? >> yup. >> and you're going to punch me and assault me for that? >> yup. >> you pushed my [ bleep ] girlfriend? >> she -- >> she weighs 100 pounds. >> she assaulted me. >> no, she did not. >> but munoz knows something the driver seems unaware of.
6:38 pm
>> guess what i have you on camera we're going to see. >> once he said she assaulted me. and then cody ended up saying, i have it all on camera. and that's when he realized well, i messed up there. >> can you tell me out brother, this dude just assaulted me for no reason. >> a passerby helps by calling the police. the driver allows a blood test to be taken. it is found to have more than three times the legal limit of alcohol. meanwhile, police examine munoz's footage. the video helps to support charges including assault and endangerment. two months later the driver enters a plea agreement. pleading no contest to d.u.i. in the slightest degree and disorderly conduct which comes with ten days of jail time. all other charges are dropped. after the incident, munoz uploads the video to youtube. >> the main reason i put the video up on my channel is to show my family what happen.
6:39 pm
a good friend of mine posted it on our local news channel's facebook page. i think that was sort of the beginning of the video starting to spread. because after he did that, a lot of people locally got to see it. >> the video is far from a local phenomenon. munoz' you tube post alone has garnered more than 13 million clicks from around the world. loi and munoz hope the video will be seen as a cautionary tale. >> road rage incident like the one i had, definitely gives them a warning to act appropriately and not be so crazy. because there's a good chance that especially now a days, someone has a camera and is recording. they could be on the internet the next day if they're not careful. >> stop, are you done? are you done? rage. it can travel from the road to the workplace. a fast food employee melts down.
6:40 pm
and a customer is there to record it for the world to watch and comment. february 8, 2015, st. paul, minnesota. abel abraham and his friends stop for a bite to eat before attending a party. >> as i approached the register to order my meal there was nobody present and there was a lot of commotion coming from the back. >> the commotion moves from the back of the restaurant to the counter area. it's an escalating dispute between a manager and an employee, lonnie johnson. >> what really set me off. my money, i had not been paid. i had worked so hard. i had just quit and i was like, you're not going to pay me? and i wanted to do some damage to the store. >> my first reaction was to pull out my phone. i had kind of got into the habit of recording daily things that i would just find interesting. >> police are called, but by the
6:41 pm
time they arrive, johnson is long gone. >> i'm going home, i'm going to tell them what happened. they know my address. they know everything about me, where i live, where i stay. >> when abraham leaves to catch the train, he bumps into johnson at the station. even though the two don't know each other abraham still decides to approach him. >> me and lonnie chatted for a little bit. i asked him if i was able to post the video and he encouraged me, he said go for it. >> i didn't think he was going to do anything. i was really mad. i want to go home, i'm mad, i'm still mad. i don't really care, do what you want to do and i left. >> bitch, give me my -- >> lonnie! >> i felt it had the potential to go viral. but i never once thought it would go as viral as it did. >> my phone had rang and it rang again and it rang again and then it rang again. i was like what is going on? >> and the comment section is far from flattering. >> i was mad like you're watching my eye motion, you
6:42 pm

[ scream ] >> that's my biggest fear. >> february, 2010, just outside boston, three friends plan to meet up for a night out. >> me and brendan were already together earlier in the night and brian was going to meet us. but the problem was that ryan decided to have a lot more than just a few drinks. >> he drank way too much and passed out. so we decided to take it upon ourselves that we needed to do something to make him realize it was a bad idea for him to one, be drinking by himself and two, be drinking so excessively. >> the way this group of friends

[ bleep ]. >> after a little more sparring, the friends decide to give each other some space for the night. the next day pat and brendan show ryan the footage. >> the wake-up call was definitely that they had it on film. seeing myself that messy and sloppy, that was no fun. i don't ever want to be that guy that's going to look like that. it's definitely a learning experience and something that i moved on almost instantaneously from. >> but a couple of days later, ryan is in for an even more painful lesson. >> there was no way we weren't going to put it together and post it require new that his father would see it. and probably wouldn't be too happy about it. but that goes to show you probably shouldn't be getting blackout drunk and doing stupid things because it's going to come back and haunt you. >> i believe it was most embarrassing to my close family members who have to talk to do me from day to day. they kind of were, hey, what are you doing? what's up, man? >> when i heard from ryan people were coming up to him, telling him he looks like an idiot on
