Tourist Watching Stranger Through His Zoom Lens Gets A Terrifying Surprise

One of the awesome things about cameras these days is their crazy ability to zoom into things that are miles away. The quality is usually pretty mind-blowing, as well.

This video uploaded by Redditor and tourist ‘thesleeb’ – and shot in Bilbao, Spain – is a prime example of magnificent zoom capabilities; but it’s not that which makes the video interesting. More riveting, perhaps, is the manic expression on the face of the guy who spots him filming. Not to mention that he starts marching towards the camera man with a deranged and murderous look in his eye. As usual, a hilarious backing track makes the video even more enjoyable. Take a look:

Isn’t that just simultaneously the scariest and funniest thing you’ve ever seen? The footage is shot with a 200x zoom lens which means this dude is quite a way off, yet he seems to be fixed intently on the cameraman pretty much the whole time that he storms towards him. Even better is that half the time he’s walking into a tide of people heading in the opposite direction which just makes him look all the more vengeful.

Apparently thesleeb was so freaked out that he packed up his camera and ran for it instead of sticking around to see what this nut job was going to do:

I do not know this guy, and wasn’t initially filming him. I noticed him standing under the red kiosk umbrella (the furthest my camera could zoom), and then he just kept looking at me. I was really giddy and freaked out, and that’s why the video ends quite abruptly. I just packed up my camera and left in order to carry on living.

I’d have pegged it long before this guy did, so fair play for sticking around that long. Especially now that I know the guy in the footage is actually on the FBI’s Most Wanted List for explosives charges. Or at least that’s what some of thesleeb’s fellow Redditors have been theorising, based on this profile which was uncovered:

If I’m completely honest, I’m not convinced that’s the same guy. But it’s definitely a possibility and I guess it’s been a while since the crimes so he could have aged and changed a bit since the FBI file photo. He certainly behaved like a wanted criminal anyway. That video is more that enough for me to know not to fuck with him. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was related to this guy that dressed up as Satan and caused mayhem in a supermarket.
