First, who is Johnny Somali?
Johnny Somali is a Twitch streamer for America that goes around in different countries, being incredibly disrespectful to the country and its people. Making fun of their culture and harassing citizens that are trying to go about their day. He records himself calling people slurs and just overall baiting them into fighting him, which he ultimately loses because how could he win.
He’s been doing some sort of outrageous thing to get views since 2011 when he made his first youtube account. But by now his presence is being censored after many bans on platforms like Youtube, Twitch, and even Kick. When he travels to spread hate he primarily goes to places in Asia.
The first time his antics got him arrested was in Japan 2023 for trespassing on a construction site to yell offensive remarks about Japan’s history and people then later arrested but the charges were dropped. He was then arrested again in Japan a few months later for playing loud music in a business and had to pay a $1,400 fine. He was arrested in Israel for sexually and overall harassing a female police officer multiple times then deported.
In that same year, he went to Jerusalem and stuck pictures of Jeffrey Epstein, Adin Ross, and Harvey Weinstein into the cracks of the Western Wall, a sacred Jewish site; he was then arrested, fined $1,330, deported and banned. As Well as getting fought on the spot 3 times in Korea for being disrespectful to the population and overall being racist and ignorant, and being injured greatly.
He openly talks about having no morals and how he does this all for money and clout.
Now, his latest arrest is bringing all that to an end. He is currently on a travel ban in South Korea and awaits trial for Obstruction of Business (He was denied alcohol, then poured instant noodles onto a table, played loud music, and shouted at the staff) and Violations of the Minor Crimes Act (Somali approached pedestrians while holding a bag containing dead fish, and played explicit content on the subway and broadcasted North Korean music on buses).
With more charges potentially coming there’s no telling what he’ll get, but for now its a minimum of 5 years in South Korean prison, which is no walk in the park. For now the rest of the world can rest because this man is off the streets.
I talked with Ryan Chin about how Johnny outlashes in public. “What do you think of Johnny Somali and how he makes money?” “He’s a horrible person and he exploits other people to get internet attention and I think that’s not a good way to make money.” Then I asked him “Do you think his punishment is appropriate, if not what should it be?” “ I think 5 years is substantial, He lost all his fights so he never really physically hurt somebody but he has been doing this for 14 years so”
