a lot of really bizarre overreactions to that one post in here

You'll have to forgive people if they're not thinking up thoughtful, nuanced reactions to "are we sure this shooting wasn't staged for attention" posts...

Most of us haven't taken enough Infowars multivitamins to reach that level of enlightenment.

Sadly this was my immediate thought as well. I think a lot more info is necessary. If some psycho truly knows his address and is firing a gun then the authorities need to get on it and house cam facing the street is 100 % needed.

It is amazing how many people jump at simply the questioning.

As if I was inferring he was faking it. I was simply asking a question.

He needs to go the police and I hope he stopped streaming immediately.

I imagine this is stream related. How the hell did someone get his address? Is it public information? Because it certainly shouldn't be.

FWIW, I work in the mortgage experience and I can find most properties you are on the deed for with just your name in plenty of states.

I imagine people more desperate for something crazy like this can find ways to get information they don't need for nefarious deeds.

Horrible, hope they catch them but hopefully Doc can install some cameras powerful enough to catch license plates.

Your question relied on you making inference that he lied, so, your comment was still extremely inappropriate.

Incorrect.

My question was simply looking for confirmation that it was real.

Which in today's culture where you tubers fight for as much publicity as possible I didn't think it would get received with such incoherent vitriol.

I didn't infer anything, if you read into the question you need to look in the mirror. Not at me.

After this? I wouldn't be surprised, plus they probably will have a cop car not far away.
This is all sorts of fucked up. It is similar to that dude who drove around i think Florida state shooting at female drivers because he felt they were inferior to men. He did that some 10 times before getting caught, luckily no one was hurt.

What the fuck. How demented in the head do you have to be to think that this is OK? Scares me to know that people just walk around with guns and think it's OK to just shoot at someone's house... Doesn't matter who it is, doesn't matter what they've done to you (if anything) -- you just don't fucking do shit like this.

Fuck this. This makes me irrationally angry.

Yeah, nobody else in this thread thought it was inappropriate. Nope. Definitely just me who needs to take a look in the mirror. *heavy eye roll*

You just said his wife and kid, not him. I took that to be excluding him out of spite.

My apologies for misinterpreting you.

Consider this: his family -- his children -- probably have very little idea about the reach of his streaming platform and when shit like this, or swatting happens, their lives are at risk for something they have absolutely no control over which is their folks' and their job.

That wotries me the most when these stories come up.

I'll go ahead and assume people think your making a joke because of the earlier incident of Doc cheating on his wife.

I wasn't and that definitely isn't a reason for me to hold a grudge against someone.

There's nothing irrational about being angry about this. For a multitude of reasons.

Yeah I hear you on that. But it's ok. What's important is nobody seems to be hurt (physically). I feel so fucking sad on so many levels about this topic. And angry.

Maybe somewhere on the internet some assholes were talking about doing this and the suspect can be discovered that way. What ever the case I wouldn't stay at that house.

I think Mrs Disrespect definitely knows his reach. There's millions in the bank and he's flying over the world.

You inferred that it could have been a publicity stunt. Something which you are doubling down with in this post. The posts towards you were not incoherent vitriol (except the post saying you should be banned, that's a little bit dumb), they were just showing that you were acting in a distasteful manner by straight away questioning if it was real or not.

Dude youre being really irrational here. Please cool off and stop attacking people. There's a far more pressing issue to discuss in this topic. Be thankful nobody was injured.

"Just asking questions" is a common tactic from alt-right idiots, so good job using the same thing.
Would you go on a metoo thread and ask "but was she really assaulted?"

How in the world is it disrespectful when I know nothing of the personality in question and there have been instances in the past where distasteful things such as this are faked?

I didn't infer anything

I asked if it was 100% real then asked for confirmation with the word correct.

That is not inferring.

The first thing you ask is if it's real or not, instead of asking if he and his family were alright. You made a dumb comment, take the L.

On topic, this is really worrying, I really fear that one day a streamer/youtuber is going to be killed by some crazy hater who finds out their address.

What the hell is this? Now I'm being compared to the alt right and being told to "take the L" just for looking for confirmation the video by a YouTube personality is authentic?

Jesus Christ. I assumed his family was ok cuz who the hell would come back on stream if their family was harmed. How does that make sense?

Have a little faith in this site that someone posting this could discern if it was real or not and if it was 'fake' they wouldn't present it in the way it has been.

I was watching live, it was like he saw something, then heard something..I wonder if he could see out to the street from his 'command center'. He came back looking like a man who had his house shot at - so I think any questions of this being real are not at all appropriate - he's got a family in there.

It really wouldn't shock me that its some deranged person who wants to be a streamer but failed at it, and its just their way of being famous - but that could be a crazy theory. (it could be a case of wrong house targeted too - many years ago my family's car kept getting windows broken because my neighbor yelled at some kids - and at that moment our car was in front of their house, so they assumed it was hers)

I'd have my family out of there today until they catch that person, he's fortunate to have the funds to do that without going broke. Gated communities where he lives (SoCal) are so expensive though, might not be an option even for a guy making 100K a month+

Anyway, hope they are all safe.

Damn he's pretty calm for just getting shot at with a pregnant wife and kid at home.

Maybe he was home alone?

I hope they catch the bastard(s)

Don't ask questions to get the facts. Don't try to get your facts straight and try to join in on the conversation and stay aligned with everyone else or else you're a nazi. Make assumptions based on what others are saying instead of knowing what's going on.

Remember question nothing and agree with everyone. That's how it works in reset era. You're either one extreme or another.

Pragmatism is dead stop trying to talk your way out of doing nothing wrong at all.

Here's a better exercise - what did you have to lose by assuming it was real??? What did you hope to gain by being a skeptic in this situation?
