An incredibly conflicted Jose “Chille” DeCastro live streamed Thursday night in yet another bizarre situation where he was critiquing his own video in an apparent attempt to appeal to all sides of the situation in Los Angeles involving demonstrations based on a recent crackdown on immigration.
DeCastro was last seen Tuesday night essentially having laid back conversations with police officers while several blocks away from the unrest in the city. The point of Tuesday night’s livestream was to show that the city was calm and that the President was wrong in sending Marines and national guardsmen into the city.
The YouTuber became upset at one point because a police officer reacted negatively when DeCastro touched him in a friendly manner. He stormed off from the group of officers, instead of trying to apologize for the slight, then randomly complained to another group of officers that he was upset that they wouldn’t let him into their group “as an outsider.
When that group seemed to have no idea of what he was talking about, he stormed off again and ended the livestream to make it home before he city wide curfew started.
The incident apparently played upon DeCastro as he made a harshly critical video about the President, the state of the country and his hatred for police enforcement of anti-immigrant policies Wednesday night. It was this video that DeCastro was reacting to in real time at the start of Thursday night’s livestream.
DeCastro explained that all were welcome, and that he had unblocked hundreds of people on Thursday before the livestream. He asked his moderators not to block anyone unless they were making insulting comments towards him and admitted that he may have accidentally removed tools from some mods, who would need to contact him to get their tools back.
He then addressed the situation with the immigration crackdowns in the city, explaining that he was completely in support of deporting violent immigrants from the city. He did not, however, support “going to Home Depot” and deporting the hard-working immigrants who lined up for day work.
DeCastro endorsed the work of these immigrants, as they provided better service than some Americans. He continued, stating that they worked harder than most professional companies and were not harming anyone with their presence in America.
The YouTuber went on to announced that immigration can’t be “illegal.” He returned to a recent them that there is no crime without a victim and the idea that someone being in America without immigration papers was not crime as no one was hurt by their presence.
He reminded his viewers that on a national level, non-citizen immigrants can’t vote, and he again proposed stripping all aid provided to those immigrants from government agencies and private organizations in order to discourage their entry into the country.
Describing himself as “squarely in the middle,” he mocked those who said he was a conservative or a liberal. He decried the actions of President Donald J. Trump, comparing him to modern day dictators, and made his feelings clear about the president using ICE in Los Angeles.
Blaming the uprisings and disquiet on the president’s actions, the Journalist and activist made it clear that the country would be in a better place if the funding of the military and police crackdowns in California were spent on building housing for homeless military veterans.
He then criticized those on the left, as he loved his .44 Magnum he kept at this side. The diminutive YouTuber laughed at those who claimed he was a supporter of the left-wing personality George Soros. He said that he was reading the comments posted on his YouTube videos and mocking anyone who thought he had gone too far to the left.
When DeCastro’s pre-recorded video made the strong statement that anyone who thought he supported the police or Trump could go elsewhere, he stopped his video to provide a critique of that statement.
DeCastro stepped away from those comments in a live statement, going as far as to plead with his fans to stay as he was barely making it financially from their super chat donations and purchases of his products.
The future governor of an unknown state turned to making anti-police and anti-authority complaints for the rest of the livestream. He focused on events that took place at the uprisings in Los Angeles over the past week.
Observers noted that while he had been friendly and overtly cordial to the men and women in the police force as he was on the front line serving as both a journalist and a protester, he now labeled them as enemies of the people.
DeCastro closed the livestream by appealing to his fans to make donations on behalf of jailed YouTuber Craig Hendry. For the first time in weeks, he brought up the GoFundMe account he created for Hendry and told his fans that he would be transferring the money he collected there over to Hendry’s girlfriend Erica Brown in the near future.
He then made the plea on behalf of Hendry for direct PayPal donations… to himself. DeCastro told his fans that he would donate any money sent him to with “Hendry” in the subject line would be turned over to his friend and colleague.
DeCastro’s pleas fell on deaf ears as far as GoFundMe campaigns were concerned. Lane Myers Legal Defense fund took Thursday with a $6.00 take. SeanPaul “Long Island Audits” Reyes’ general Support the Fight Against Tyranny & Corruption campaign won Friday with a $20.00 take.
No donations were received for any other fund either day, including DeCastro’s own campaign or the three Craig Hendry campaigns.
Thursday was not all doom and gloom for DeCastro as he sold the first copy of his Constitution HQ board game on his DeleteLawZ.com website since raising the price of the game to $89.00.
The sale of a single unit of the game was recorded by the availability counter on the game’s product page, which moved down from 9999 to 9998 on Thursday. While the game is still listed as being shipped in September, it is unclear if DeCastro has secured funding for the publishing of the first run of the game at press time.
