Apparently Boogie's getting arrested, over that time where he pointed the gun at the crazy rear end stalker that showed up to his house. gently caress Boogie but honestly at the same time it kind of sucks, because the dude that just showed up on his doorstep had done poo poo like sending him pictures of him pointing a gun at pictures of him and similar freaky poo poo. He should've just stayed inside and called the cops, but like when someone like that shows up at your door, I dunno man, it wouldn't be too far out to think that this creep had showed up finally intending to hurt you or your family.

What the actual hell. Isn't pointing guns at people who step half a foot into your property the holiest social rule of the US?

It's like the culture now punishes those who do NOT shoot. Then again, Boogie is not a cop and I'm betting the stalker was white.

I feel ashamed for even the mild amusement I got over groups hounding 'lolcows' like Boogie or DSP. It was the training ground of monsters, like Keemstar and Metokur.

Is Metokur even still around? I'm afraid to check. He might be as big a figure as Jeffree Star and I don't know it yet, and in that case I'd rather retain my ignorance.

I mean the movie is pretty explicit about how horrible humanity is and how the Terran federation are just dead eyed Nazis and the movie ends with all the humanity stripped from the main characters and they are basically dead eyed nazi troopers.

Boogie fired a shot randomly into the air in a populated neighborhood.

I believe he got banned from YouTube and moved to darker parts of the net. Also metokur has been around way longer then that, dude made a video of spax13 or something when I was in high school.

I see you haven't subjected yourself to Sargon of Akkad's braincell killing video on the book, wherein he lays out the thesis that people think Starship Troopers the novel is fascist because Heinlein is very fanatical about what he's writing about and people somehow... think that makes it fascist....?

Yeah, the book is absolutely facist leaning because the Cold War broke heinleins brain super loving hard.

Metokur's got cancer and is undergoing chemo therapy was the last I heard about him, about a year or so ago. Doubt he's doing much of anything on the internet, if he's smart. I can't think of worst ways to spend my life in those circumstances.

The main issue was that he shot in the air like a dummy, if he'd just pointed a gun at a whacko stalker, he'd probably be a-okay on the grounds of a nutty, easy to believe possibly-violent harasser showing up out of the blue.

And yeah, he's probably gonna be okay ultimately due to the circumstances even still.

I first came across Metokur with his Spoony video and thought it was a normal internet drama channel then I started watching his Linkara ep and he got way too hung up on trans women and I thought oh he's one of those assholes.

Can't say I felt too bad when I found out he had cancer.

i came across him in highschool under a different name. he made some ok videos like once or twice, like one about some dentist in florida who was a sadist and basicaly did extreme procedures and weird fillings on little kids with out pain meds and he was the only doctor who took chipp or whatever too. that was the only good video he made.

Warning shots are dumb and dangerous. If you aim and shoot at a person breaking into your house, you're likely to hit the target or at least not shoot a random bystander. When you shoot a bullet in the air, you have no idea where its going to end up. Its basically the same as putting on a blindfold and shooting in a random direction. Also, a warning shot is just as likely to escalate the situation then to defuse it.

The shelf-stuff fascinates me because I would just have assumed they're cheap stuff from IKEA. But of course, if you have the tools and time it makes more sense to just make your own that fit your specific specification. So much work going on behind the scenes, even in the parts that aren't as obvious.

"warning shots" specifically are frequently illegal(though depends on your state).
Any time you fire your firearm the bullet has to land somewhere, either in someone or something. It's justified in the context of self defense, but if you have the time and safety to fire a shot that isn't actually aimed at the person threatening you, you're still doing something dangerous except you're not actually acting to directly physically stop the person who is a threat to you.

it's similar to how people can get in trouble for "negligent discharge", aka stuff like shooting upwards into the air in celebration of something.

I agree. It's also refreshing how they specifically don't talk about Optimizing The Algorithm. I think I even remember one of them jokingly saying to rate the video 5 stars, and that hasn't been a system on Youtube for like a decade.

yea I'm pretty sure even here in texas you're at least open to civil issues if you start popping 'warning shots' unless you're genuinely and actively trying to stop someone from doing life threatening harm to you. There's different levels depending on what he did exactly, with yea shooting into the air being the worst because boy that's how you wind up accidentally killing some rando half a block away, but even shooting into the ground or at something non-organic nearby falls under the 'hey don't loving play around with guns, moron' sphere.

He wouldn't be in zero trouble, but ironically Boogie would be in a lot less trouble for just blasting the guy and claiming he feared for his life because the guy was a known stalker who'd threatened him in the past. Particularly since it happened at his residence so there was no duty to retreat.

yea like this 100% isn't some internet tough guy 'you gotta put the wild dogs down' bullshit (I literally don't even have any guns or anything like them) but if you are in a situation where you genuinely are firing a gun to protect yourself that bullet needs to go in the person threatening you and nowhere else. You can at least present a case for defense if you do that but 'so you were scared for your life but had enough time and clarity to actively decide to 'warn' them instead?' is a really simple question that even pretty conservative juries or judges respond to.

this. i am not a big "STAND YOUR GROUND" type person, but the warning shot hosed him because it "proves" he didnt fear his life and was reckless. he would be "better" off if he had shot him because said dude was a threat to him, epically if said rear end in a top hat posted a bunch about it.

Yeah for what it's worth I am also not a gun owner and not particularly keen on the idea of Boogie shooting a guy. Gun laws are weird though and generally speaking it's only legally acceptable to fire them for a handful of activities: legal hunting, recreationally at a range or approved area, or in explicit self-defense/defense of one's family/dwelling. Ethically speaking I think a warning shot is better than just blowing somebody away in the vast majority of cases, but legally a warning shot means you didn't feel you were in immediate danger because if you were you would have shot the person instead of the ground/air - and so you should not have been firing the gun at all.
