DeCastro Promises Changes to Policing
Jose “Chille” DeCastro returned to livestreaming at the end of the week with an announcement that he would be limiting his time livestreaming until his Governors’ Handbook was completed.
The livestream brought controversy as viewers noticed what some called a casual unnatural relationship between DeCastro and his AI agent. With DeCastro calling his AI Agent “Playboi” and the agent responding to DeCastro as “Governor.”
DeCastro seemed to confirm that the work was largely written by multiple AI agents putting his ideas into focus. One of them, requiring all police officers to have four years of constitutional law training, was immediately mocked by viewers who found it unrealistic.
No real mention was made of his “Reconstitution” political party and his threatened lawsuit against YouTube went back to “ima gonna” phase with no timetables offered for his action against the social media giant.
DeCastro got a gift earlier in the week as his trial for one count of walking in the street when a sidewalk was available in Las Vegas was moved to January. No reasoning was given by the court for the delay and DeCastro was not spotted in Las Vegas before his previously scheduled court date.
The diminutive YouTuber has cited the up-coming trial, along with a trial next year for molesting three police vehicles in Oklahoma as reasons his supporters should donate to his on-going expenses campaign.
Regan Benson Continues to Rage
The rage of Regan Benson was slightly more tactical this week as she waited for doors at the Englewood Civic Center to automatically lock during a meeting involving the Tri-Cities Homelessness Initiative to stage her muted protest.
Benson went live outside of the building late in the week to show her disdain for the group. During the meeting, she could freely come and go from the building and had full access to display her sign that disparaged participants for not caring about homeless people.
When the meeting was announced as going a few minutes over its allotted time, Benson was outside of the building. She noted that the front doors were on a timer and she was automatically locked out of the building.
This sent her into an impudent rage as she was let back into the building by security and she was largely ignored by officials as she protested, claiming the officials were breaking the law for having the meeting with the doors locked.
This was the second explosive incident at the Civic Center for Benson. Earlier in the week she cursed at an Allied Security Guard who refused to let her in the building as she was filming in violation of the set guidelines for the building.
Benson pledged to add that incident to her on-going litigation against the city.
DJDrkLntrn Returns as FAFO Exits?
Fans of DJDrkLntrn got some good news this week as the popular YouTuber returned to the service with a new channel after his previous channel was taken off the platform due to multiple copyright strikes imposed on it by Zachary “Liberty Troll” Kueker.
Fans had to wait until Friday night for DJ to hold his first show after his announced return, which saw a slight change of format as the YouTuber interviewed ReallyCoolNews’ court reporter JudyYouGotThis for over ninety minutes.
As DJ returned, the controversial MindCraftFAFO channel apparently left the service on its own. The account, which has been largely associated with Shade George ‘Audit Them’ Ghanayem, vanished from the service at the end of the week shortly after returning from a one-week suspension for violating YouTube’s terms of service.
The channel itself was controversial since it had largely been used to dox and harass foes of Ghanayem. All of its videos were set to private status and the channel was apparently self-removed from the service for unknown reasons.
Long Island Audit Blames Conspiracy for Revenue Loss
A new manufactured conspiracy raised its ugly head at midweek. Following his news of a supposed raid planned by authorities in New York that was designed to “unalive” him, SeanPaul “Long Island Audit” Reyes was back with a new conspiracy involving all of his current foes united as a quasi “Axis of Evil” against him.
Reyes announced that former police officer Jason Brandy had joined up with former Connecticut state trooper Brian Fahey, Suffolk county legislator Nick Caracapa and mayor of Melbourne, Florida, Paul Alfrey to stalk and Harass Reyes.
The rotund YouTuber offered little proof of his accusations other than Reyes being occasionally featured as a subject of Brandy’s podcast. He spent most of his livestream building up Brandy as a threat and asking his viewers to join his Patreon page.
Reyes has been the most successful of the first amendment auditors who have moved to Patreon following YouTube demonetization, bringing in roughly $7,000.00 in subscription funds a month since YouTube demonetized his channel.
Even with that windfall, Reyes complained bitterly that he lost 80% of his previous income and was struggling financially. His pleas did not result in a real windfall to any of his GoFundMe campaigns nor did his membership to his Patreon page greatly increase due to his livestream.
Carolina in Ft. Worth Flees from Security at Texas Mall
Fans of Carolyn “Carolina in Ft. Worth” Rodriguez got some good news this ween when the elderly YouTuber held a livestream blaming kidney issues for her month-long absence from the social media platform.
Rodriguez stepped right back into her old form when she began screaming at and attempting to dox a man who she thought helped police make an arrest at the start of the livestream.
She later went inside a local mall and attempted to hide from security guards who asked her not to film inside the building. While Rodriguez recognized the building was private property, she refused to turn her camera off and led security on a slow paced “chase” for several minutes before encountering a police officer who told her to leave the property.
Rodriguez has yet to return to livestream since that incident.
Judge Denies Personal Recorders in Lane Myers Case, Again
Judge D. Douglas Metcalf denied a request by both Arizona resident Jason A. Jensen and an anonymous petitioner to use personal audio devices to record the up-coming evidentiary hearing in the Lane Myers case.
Supporters of Myers were outraged by both denials, claiming that Judge Metcalf is “corrupt” and part of a larger conspiracy to keep Myers in jail. They pointed out that Metcalf had allowed a pool camera to be present in the courtroom during the hearing and stated that it was unfair for him to denial personal audio recorders at the same time.
Myers is expected to be transferred from state prison to the Pima County Adult Correctional facility during the hearing after a joint filing to set aside the disposition of Myers’ probation violation hearing that saw him sentenced to prison for probation violations earlier in the Fall.
While there was a promise that an investigation into two harassing e-mails reportedly sent to the victim with an IP address corresponding to the victim’s own home would be completed by the hearing there have been no updates on the investigation at this time.
The victim’s husband, Matthew Walker, has been suspended with pay from his job as a Tucson City Prosecutor during the investigation.
Prosecutors are asking for Myers to be freed during the investigation and have him returned to his previous probation conditions. His attorney is seeking to have the entire disposition set aside and a new revocation hearing held while his client remains free from jail.
Myers’ evidentiary hearing is set for Tuesday; ReallyCoolNews will provide special coverage with our own JudyYouGotThis Tuesday night following the hearing.
[Full disclosure: Mr. Myers has both threatened to sue and/or to file an injunction against ReallyCoolNews.
