Jose “Chille” DeCastro hailed himself as a champion of the people as the weekend started, with a Friday afternoon livestream focusing on his altruistic efforts over the years and a Saturday livestream from an airport where DeCastro was apparently on his way to an unknown location to protest on behalf of a supporter.
Friday’s broadcast started with the announcement that he was traveling on Sunday to Texas to visit a fan who had been unlawfully arrested twice by police. He said he would be livestreaming on Monday on behalf of that person.
He then went into a claim that he sent out 68 trifolds on Tuesday, with another 10 trifolds going on out Thursday. He then said that a trifold costs $4.00 to produce, and he makes $16.00 off of every sale. Though this claim is discounted as DeCastro has maintained that he gives away two trifolds with every order.
DeCastro then focused on his altruistic efforts in raising money for people over the years, through donations from his fans. He showed a screen shot of his phone of money that Rightway Ministries funneled to various individuals over the years, apparently on behalf of the diminutive YouTuber.
Patent Keys $600.00
You-have-rights-cops-have-duties $2000.00
LetzOtvo – $1,300.00
Ironton -Derek, $3,500.00
Eric Trullijo – $7,000.00
Christy Rohn $15,000.00 (Mega+)
XX-Geo -XX – $700
Robert Mills – $3200 (and counting)
Sarah Dollarhide – $900
Jason Dollarhide – $4000
Floyd Wallace – $750
The pair would later bring Rohn’s total to $21,280. DeCastro then announced that he had raised and distributed $155,130.00 to fans and good causes over the years.
Critics immediately pounced on DeCastro’s figures, disparaging the means he came up with the number as DeCastro’s accounting practices were dubious at best over the years.
Some also questioned the lack of prominent names on DeCastro’s list, including Craig Hendry, Garrett “Press with Rancor” Van Nett and Jeremiah Payne, who DeCastro exploited for fame as all of their on-going circumstances brought accolades to DeCastro.
Others wondered about the accusations that DeCastro also kept a percentage of the funding for himself and if he was donating through Rightway Ministries to exploit the church’s tax-exempt status.
DeCastro would switch gears to show anti-police videos, as he said he had a “hard out” that would limit his livestream’s run time to around two hours. He would later reveal that “hard out” was his desire to go print up a batch of new hoodies as his “hoodie guy” was back in town.
Watching a DUI stop, DeCastro seemed unaware of actual procedures with drunk driving and driving while impaired arrests. He called for changes in the system, where the driver’s car would be taken away from them and then they would be put in a care facility rather than being put in “a cell.”
DeCastro did not know that modern DUI procedures parallel that, as most first time DUI events result in an offender’s car being towed, the offender being released to a sober driver within 2-8 hours (depending on jurisdiction) and the offender paying a small fine or pleading down to lesser offenses.
While offenders are handcuffed during transportation, most offenders are kept in holding cells and never actually see “jail” or “prison” dungeons, contrary to DeCastro’s claims.
DeCastro made it clear that neither he nor his audience were pro-driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. He then stated that if he is offered a drink at a bar, he usually takes a sip of it, excuses himself, then places it at a random place at the bar, then returns with a water with lemon.
He then said that he would run for Mayor/Governor before he would consider running for president, combining the two very different roles as he could not decide which one he should start with and, as per normal, would not commit to a state in which he’d make his run for office.
Saturday’s livestream began with the height challenged YouTuber walking slowly in an airport and stopping to address his audience. He would not disclose his destination but said that he was in a layover on his flight and had a few minutes to spend with his audience.
He reassured his audience that he was on his way to confront police on behalf of a viewer who had contacted him. He essentially rehashed the story he said on Thursday, adding that he would come and help his fans if they had video of their altercations and it was “plain as day” that they were cheated.
DeCastro announced that he had been bullied by police throughout his childhood, despite differing stories on his involvement with police over the years, and that the camera was the great equalizer as he has thousands of people to back him up as he livestreams.
The YouTuber said that he would be making a standby GoFundMe account that would be activated should he be arrested for telling off police in his planned altercation on Sunday or Monday. He also indicated that he would have a “big brass band” with him to tell “the people” that the police were corrupt.
DeCastro’s boy band like supporters, Chille’s Angels, consisting of Thomas “LetzOTVO” Prowitzky and Matthew “Brick Jonesy” Jones have been rumored to be making an appearance at the planned event, which as not been confirmed at this time.
The existing GoFundMe campaigns run by DeCastro did not see an impact from his reminder that he was active on GoFundMe since Friday. Both his Time to Sue the Corrupt Unprincipled Judge Ann Zimmerman and his Support Craig’s Fight Against Injustice funds saw no new donations.
Friday’s GoFundMe title was taken by SeanPaul “Long Island Audits” Reyes’ Help Me Fight These Unlawful Charges & Injustice fund, which took in $255.00.
Saturday’s GoFundMe title was again won by Reyes, as his Help Me Fight campaign took in $10.00 in new donations.
Sunday’s GoFundMe title again went to Reyes, with his Help Me Fight campaign bringing in $116.00. Second place for Sunday went to our own On-Going Expenses campaign, which took in $5.00 in new donations.
No other campaigns that we observe took in new donations for the weekend.
DeCastro’s new GoFundMe account has yet to be released to the public.
