Jose “Chille” DeCastro took to his YouTube community page on Tuesday in order to encourage his fans to mass report a parody channel.
The “Delete Lawz Clipz 2” channel (https://www.youtube.com/@deletelawzclipz2) features parody videos of DeCastro, MERB, NewsNowNinja and others.
DeCastro associate DeleteLawZClips, who runs a “clips” channel of the same name, claimed that the channel was impersonating his channel and was “asking people for money.” When this reporter directly inquired about proof of this claim in a reply to DeleteLawZclips, DeleteLawZClips replied with: “@JamesFinchMadDog I was told that he did in someone’s live chat.”
This is the second attempt to brigade a smaller channel made by DeCastro and his associates in the past week. On Saturday, he instructed his followers to mass report the Welsh News Network channel for alleged copyright infringement.
In related and somewhat ironic news, DeCastro associate Rights On issued a statement demanding a watchdog group investigate Welsh News Network’s announcement of the Welsh News Network Facebook group.

This demand is unusual for Rights On to make, as has been a staunch supporter of Jose “Chille” DeCastro and a vocal proponent for free speech. His parody videos take direct aim at those in the First Amendment (1A) auditing community and often feature dubious claims about those who are the subject of his parodies.
His calls for a “watch dog” group to take action seem against Welsh News Network’s Facebook group seems to be at odds with his own statements about the first amendment and freedom of speech. We await clarification of his comments and will update the story with them once provided.
