I lost my job to a YouTube prank channel called okcpranks.

Why would this goofball consider something like this a prank? I think he has some serious attention seeking issues. What's he going to do when someone calls his bluff and pulls a lighter out of their pocket and offers to help?
Shock value, YouTube hits and money. More hits, more views, more cash.

Same reason that tool in Indiana (I think it was) messed with that food delivery guy and wound up with a hole in his gut

I am on @Beebeev3 side on this. who is he going to sue. The prankster or the place of business? Ya it suck what happened but if the place of business has a not firearms policy. Well he took that chance and personally did the right thing to stop what he thought was a threat. All it took was a show of force. shouldn’t have had to even get that far for a prank. But FAFO. I would say if any go after the prankster. Ya he probably doesn’t anything to his name but after it’s all said and done he never will tell his law suet is payed off. JMO

the prankster, the camera guy, the person paying the camera guys phone bill, anyone else involved... sue all of them. He is generating income, so treat it like a company no?

I don't see why the police wouldn't see being threatened with a can of gas and a lighter (even if not real gas which you couldn't know at the time) is any different from someone pulling a toy gun in a store threatening to shoot up the place. Police have shot people on multiple occasions when threatened with a toy gun perceived to be a real threat and I don't blame them.
