"Hope they have fun in jail" - Netizens divided as Twitch streamer bursts fireworks inside Walmart

A couple of Twitch streamers, named HateCaps (42.1K followers) and Baller (54.6K followers), are facing backlash from the online and streaming community after their recent antics in a Walmart store went viral. For context, during Baller's IRL live stream, the two streamers lit fireworks inside the Walmart store, disturbing other customers and employees.

The clip further depicts the two streamers being loud and later fleeing the scene when a couple of employees get there to investigate the scene. Watch the clip here:

The clip was shared by a verified X account FearByck (@FearedBuck). His post generated several responses, with one user saying:

Twitch streamer Baller and his friend react to their 911 call

Twitch streamer Baller and his friend HateCaps could potentially face legal issues due to their reckless action. Setting off fireworks inside a store is inherently hazardous and could be considered endangering the public (and potential damage to properties and goods).

Fear Buck (who initially shared the viral clip on X) also shared a brief clip of the two listening to their alleged 911 call (this is also from Baller's Twitch stream). It is possible that a complaint was registered against the two streamers.

Here's what the call said:

"Three juvenile black males, white color clothing set off fireworks inside the building (Walmart store). The suspects took off on foot. Unknown (inaudible). No injuries. We will meet you at the door."

It's quite apparent from their reaction that the Twitch streamers are in potential trouble following their IRL stunt inside Walmart. Thankfully, according to the alleged 911 call, nobody was injured.

This could also land them in trouble with Twitch. Setting off fireworks inside a store or a public place could be considered a violation of the platform's safety policies and terms of service. At the time of writing, however, Baller's Twitch channel is still active.
