A prolific online troll and former intern of Milo Yiannopoulos has been charged with first-degree murder after allegedly stabbing his father to death in his Washington home. According to audio of the incident obtained by the Daily Beast, 33-year-old Lane Davis set upon his father after the latter called him a Nazi. "Hes chasing us around the house, Davis' mother told a police dispatcher. Hes mad about something on the internet about leftist pedophiles and he thinks were leftist and hes calling us pedophiles, and I dont know what-all.
Davis has entered a plea of not guilty, and his trial is scheduled for January.
The Samish Island native fits a disturbing if increasingly familiar profile. After dropping out of Washington State University in 2004, he developed a following on YouTube peddling conspiracy theories that ran the gamut from 9/11 being an inside job to vaccines causing autism. By 2014, he had become a fixture in Gamergate, a campaign of online harassment of women in the video game industry that included doxxing and death threats. Davis would ultimately renounce his fellow travelers in the movement, but that did not stop him from targeting Joshua Idehen, whose manager, agent and charity he contacted accusing the London musician of pedophilia.

(5,730 posts)the fake Canadian passport soon. I can do English, Spanish & Catalan. I wish I spoke French. Montreal would be nice.
I assume the Fake Passport thing was a joke. There are a lot of us Americans who would leave if we could financially.
