Summary
Ramsey Khalid Ismael, known online as Johnny Somali, faces trial in South Korea for disruptive behavior at a convenience store and is banned from leaving the country.
Somali, infamous for offensive stunts, has provoked outrage with actions like desecrating the Comfort Woman statue in Seoul and mocking historical tragedies in Japan.
South Korean authorities imposed a travel ban due to flight risk, though he remains at large.
Somali’s antics, often streamed on Rumble, have drawn widespread condemnation as part of a growing trend of “nuisance influencers” disrupting communities abroad.
I thought this dipshit was arrested in Japan for trespassing, among other charges.
I hope he tastes jail once in his life. He mocked the Japanese judge after he forgave him and let him free.
I’ve been waiting for him to go to Korea. A lot of western people still think Chinese, Japanese, and Korean people are a homogeneous bunch of meek doormats.
Korean culture is polite, but also very very angry if it’s not reciprocated. Plus, every dude grew up with a national sport that involves kicking people and then they have to go into the military.
This dude got assaulted by random Korean dudes like 4 different times and streamers put out a bounty on his head. The hilarious part is that the news stations and police are protecting the identity of the people who assaulted him, but have made him public enemy number 1.
“Angry” is an euphemism. Hope Korea throws the book at him
Man people are racist as hell. I hadn’t even heard the Asian doormat stereotype before, what the fuck?
It may be a holdover from an aging stereotype. Not sure how the kids nowadays perceive east Asians, but in the 90’s it was definitely the cause of a lot of the fights I got into as a kid.
Not necessarily a doormat, per se, but asian cultures are often associated with the feminine and demure. This mostly arose as a contrast to the hypermasculinity European powers were cultivating as patriarchal figures in the colonial era.
I was so happy when some Korean ex military guy just fucking swung on him…heard the cops took the Korean guy but never filed charges.
There’s a better video of a guy who is pretty clearly involved in organized crime, front kicking him in the chest, and then beating the shit out of his two friends by himself.
I have a feeling that if he ends up in jail, he’ll be tasting something else…
It’s not an american jail
the first time I see news about his antics from a mainstream media. Shit is about to get real.
He also mocked Japanese commuters over the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II.
That alone makes me want to beat the crap out of him. Those bombings are two of the most horrific events in history, and he’s treating them as a joke? Asshole!
Good. In my day there was that boy who took a trip to Singapore and brought along some spray paint. The outrage from America for him being publicly caned was nonexistent because he fucking deserved it.
I recall an American boy that was indicted by Australia for making long-distance prank phonecalls. Australia wanted to give the kid a booting and relations between the US and Australia have never fully recovered.
Yeah, but that boy’s family is a joke and he barely has any supervision at home except for his physical abusive father.
I heard it was because it’s a single income home where the father works long hours at some powerplant and the mother is a housewife swamped with chores and keeping a household of 5 people and two animals afloat. The boy may have severe adhd and is overshadowed by his genius brainy younger sister. The parents may be too concerned over his youngest sibling, which still hasn’t spoken significantly in 30 years. So yeah, tough situation there.
And his name was Bort!
Hey, that’s my sons name!

He absolutely deserved it.
Fay was arrested for stealing road signs and vandalizing 18 cars over a ten-day period in September 1993.
Cars? Wtf man.
I directly quoted the line 😉
I know. I had to spread the joy.
Killer Tofu was the Beets best song. I just wanted to say that. And it’s in my head now, thanks. Ooo-eee-ooO
America Don’t Be a Global Embarrassment for One Day Challenge (Difficulty Impossible)
He should’ve gone into US politics instead
Ok so I’m like… not upset about this at all. Also, I know this is the millennial equivalent of “get off my lawn”, but fuck me if I don’t find the concept of “being an influencer” fucking dumb. Do a thing you love, post the content if you think you’re good, and be a known expert with a following. Don’t just PR for the sake of doing PR and then hope people listen to you. What the fuck even is that?
Honestly part of me wants to stream just riding a motorcycle and generally pissing about just as a counter to these idiots. I have a weird tendency for just seeing weird shit that even if im boring itd still be kinda interesting. I saw a wizard in fucken out in Yucca Valley a couple weeks ago, imagine if I was on a bike streaming that wouldve been great.
He has a very punchable face.
It’s definitely some “uncanny valley” material. I can’t point to anything specific but it looks like it was assembled using face parts from 6 different people.
He can’t take it on the chin.
RIPBOZO. Streamers like this guy are why everyone hates influencers. I hope they throw the book at him.
There should be harsher laws for streamers. They are doing it all for money. That money should be taken away and given to the victims.
Kid played the fuck around game. Not the brightest thing to do internationally.
Isn’t this the guy who couldn’t leave his hotel because he kept getting jumped. Internet had put a bounty on him so anyone streaming him getting his shit kicked in was getting like $100 or something. I thought he had gone into police custody for his own safety…
Yes. For a while, South Korean internet nicknamed him the “Gold Goblin” (after Diablo), since he was so disliked that anyone shown hitting him would receive a decent amount of money in donations.
Very nice.
Not sure if this dipshit will ever learn his lesson but at least the police over there have the proof that all his actions are done with bad intent.
Glad Johnny will. He deserves it.
is that an Ai generated thumbnail?
No, he genuinely has a face like an ai-generated thumb. He’s the kind of prank bellend that’s going to get shot eventually, and absolutely no one will care, he’s a gimp
