Jeremy and various former RT are a sobering reminder that people are actually like this and it's not just bots sowing discourse. It makes it far more real when it's people you actually liked at one point behaving like this.
Wow Jeremy, what a knight in shining
For me, it was that I wasn't able to comprehend the degree people would be willing to give money directly to someone on the internet just to get them to say their username or ask them a question. Twitch was still newer and I had more faith in people. Or I guess to be less harsh: I figured people needing to directly give money would be a hinderance to profits vs capitalizing off ad revenue etc. This was also pre-adpocalypse, so staying with RT/AH seemed infinitely more stable at the time to me.
I am very pro-gun/pro-self-defense, but in a weird way I respect Gavin for this. To be very anti-gun and then instantly 180 on your views as soon as they're challenged would be understandable, but would show hypocrisy. To be still opposed to owning firearms after what he went through at least shows moral conviction in his beliefs, even if I disagree with him. Idk, maybe he privately holds very pacifist ideals and is strongly opposed to the act of killing, even if justified. Takes a certain kind of moral fortitude to still maintain that after something traumatic like that.
He made some very funny AH videos:
I always enjoy watching the pushback from people sick and tired of the performative bitching and moaning from faggots like Jeremy
I don't think he really does, there's no way a TRUE BELIEVER in being anti-gun would have every spent an afternoon with Kentucky fuckin' Ballistics..... you can be pro gun but anti-personal-use.
@08903248752 If that's what happened then I would have some respect for him, but that wasn't what happened. His views weren't just "challenged", they were proven wrong when someone came into his house with the intent to kill him and his, at the time, girlfriend.
Are the details of what happened actually out there? I just remember at the time Gavin said something like the Austin PD dealt with him.
He got into his car when he couldn't find them and shot himself. He was dead in his car when police arrived. The interesting fact is that Gavin claims he's against owning a gun, not against guns, but he doesn't want Meg owning one either. This is in light of the fact that he went on Anthony Padillas channel (I believe it was Anthony) and basically said he still had PTSD from the invasion. He's fucking stupid fully knowing that guy intended to kill him and turn Meg into his wifeslave or something worse, and still refuses to let Meg get some form of self defense and openly admits he's still traumatized from it.
From what I can recall. Guy shows up and pulls in the driveway at Gavin's house and breaks in/tries to break in. Gavin and Meg hide in a closet and contact the police. Guy searches house for them and lucky for them can't find them. Police arrive and block his escape. Guy shoots himself in his car.
As others said it was dumb luck because he couldn't find them when he broke in and searched their house. Had their attacker been a bit more persistent or had he arrived when they were not able to hide, both of them would have very likely died that day.
I remember him being quite anti-gun on the RT podcast. Maybe he has changed his stance since then, not owning a gun is still extra-special retarded given what they went through though.
It's darkly funny that he's fine with her having an OF, but puts his foot down over her having a gun.
If I lived with a BPD timebomb like Turney I wouldn't want her owning a gun, either. Seems like a good way to wake up dead.
You're forgetting one thing. He's Bri'ish, therefore incapable of being anything other than extra special retarded
Christ he has fucking aged, and he's only 36.
Something about YouTubers causes them to hit 30 like a brick wall. Also, a beard can put 10 years on a man.
