Tuesday was a weird day for Jose “Chille” DeCastro as he filed an unnecessary emergency motion in his lawsuit against prominent YouTubers and he ended up walking the streets of Los Angeles, apparently purposely avoiding the on-going L.A. riots to show that President Donald J. Trump was wrong in sending marines to the area.
Trump made headlines for attempting to take control of California’s national guard units over the weekend and for sending 700 marine corps troops to the California from other parts of the country.
The president apparently intended for the troops to quash the riots in L.A. with DeCastro’s new stance being that the troops were unnecessary as there were no riots. None. There was nothing at all going on in the city and the troops could go home.
DeCastro’s announcement came after two days of live coverage of the riots by the YouTuber. Sunday night he was poked by a police officer, hit in the head with a thrown water bottle and shot in the chest by a rubber bullet. Monday night he wobbled into national news feeds as he wandered the streets of Monday’s protests, getting national exposure for his general cluelessness at the scene.
Wearing an overside hoodie with the word “press” written on it in large yellow block letters, DeCastro’s Tuesday night stream set out to show that there was nothing out of the ordinary happening in Los Angeles, despite an increased police presence.
DeCastro said that he had to drive for 35 minutes to find the area of the city where protests were happening. Once on scene, DeCastro seemed to deliberately walk away from areas with active protestors.
Even after police literally pointed him to the proper areas to find protests, DeCastro continued with his narrative that Trump was wrong, and he was right and nothing was going on in the city.
While other news casts and reporters managed to find protestors blocking the highway and the presence of the marines in the city, DeCastro’s livestream did not. He ambled around in what seemed to be a rectangle, taking him towards protesters, but cutting back to areas further away from any action.
On his journey, he stopped multiple times to chat with police officers, offering them compliments and wishing them a good day. The only negative encounter he had with police came when he touched an officer and the officer told reacted negatively to the touch. DeCastro quickly left the group of police officers and went into an extended rant that the police will never allow an outsider to participate in their gatherings.
DeCastro made the long walk out of the area and he plugged his 5A Cop cards. No mention was made of his Constitution HQ board game, which remains in limbo with no observed sales listed on his DeleteLawz.com website since raising the price of the game.
DeCastro would end his stream by stating that he needed to urinate and that he would be “back in an hour” with another broadcast.
DeCastro would not livestream again Tuesday night and the end of the stream would have had him home in time to avoid trouble with the city wide curfew, which began at 8PM local time.
The YouTuber’s day also got worse when his emergency motion to change his lawsuit against Kate Peter, Josh Abrams and Dale “Lackluster” Hiller was widely panned by critics as being unnecessary.
DeCastro filed amotion for leave to change his complaint in the lawsuit based on a “typo” which made his claimed date of alleged defamatory statements made against him fall out of the three-year statute of limitations.
He now claimed that the June 1 date should have been June 10 and he included an order for the judge in the lawsuit to sign off on allowing the change.
Critics of DeCastro noted that since the lawsuit had not been served to anyone and it wasn’t 21 days past service, DeCastro had the ability to amend his complaint a single time to make updates such as the one he was proposing without the need for a judicial order.
The “emergency motion” was dramatic and brought attention to his lawsuit after support for and interest in the suit had begun to wane. However, the overall negative backlash to ChatGPT being unable to warn DeCastro that he could just file his amended complaint brought further humiliation to the diminutive from critics.
DeCastro is expected to livestream again on Wednesday.
