Guy Sparks Debate After Smacking VR Headset Off TikToker Who Was In Middle Of Target Aisle

A viral video capturing a man knocking a virtual reality headset off another man's head at a Target has sparked a debate on social media.

The video was posted by Dawson, whose Youtube and TikTok pages (@dawszn.npc) primarily feature videos of himself harassing people in public places while wearing a VR headset.


While most of the people Dawson encounters in his videos react with confusion or anger, things took a potentially dangerous turn when Dawson visited a local Target.

WARNING: NSFW language

At the beginning of the video, Dawson could be seen standing directly in the middle of an aisle at Target.

A man pushing a shopping cart with a child sitting in it then passed by Dawson, and warned him "you might want to get out of the way there chief."

Dawson didn't take much heed of the man's suggestion though, and simply responded "you're in my play space."

Clearly agitated by Dawson's remark, the man then approached him, telling him to "get the f*ck out of here" before he reached up and knocked the headset off Dawson's head.

This caused the video to briefly fade to black.

Target employees could then be heard making attempts to calm both Dawson and the unnamed man down, warning Dawson he probably shouldn't have been using the VR headset inside the store as the man walked away.

Once more, Dawson claimed the man "was in his play space," but the excuse didn't cut it for one of the Target employees even when she didn't defend the behavior of the other man.

"You can't really do that in the store, you're not supposed to be doing that."
"Now he was wrong, but you also were wrong."

At the end of the video, Dawson revealed he was just about to begin recording on his headset when the man smacked it off of his head.

The video received a mixed reaction from its 1.4 million viewers.

Some took Dawson's side.

Other's felt Dawson was at fault, particularly as the point of his videos is to provoke a reaction from strangers.

While a few agreed with the Target employee, believing Dawson shouldn't have been wearing the headset to harass customers in the store, but also finding the man's behavior inexcusable.

Dawson confirmed at the end of the video the VR headset was not damaged after the man knocked it off his head.

This means we'll likely get plenty of more videos of Dawson wearing it in various stores and public places.

Whether he'll be a bit more mindful of who he interacts with, however, remains to be seen.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.

Tennessee Republican Andy Ogles was called out after he shared a letter he sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi urging her to denaturalize and deport New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani over a lyric in a rap song Mamdani released in 2017.

Mamdani ran a campaign centered around economic populism, arguing that the city, a global financial center, has grown unaffordable for everyday residents, citing soaring rents and grocery prices, and outlining policies aimed at reducing the cost of living.
