Most of Tumblr's userbase consists of teen and 20-something genderspecials. However, the occasional schizoid older dude pops up, and such is the case of Stone-Man-Warrior, real name Kelly Karl Sleight. Born in 1961, the divorced Sleight lives in Grants Pass, Oregon and spends an inordinate amount of time spewing his crazy fantasies on Tumblr.
Most of his delusions involve paramilitary "terror cells" sent to kill him or disturb his mental health. He accuses his state's governor, Democrat Kate Brown, of being responsible for many of them... but also claims he recently killed the very-much-alive Brown, among others. His neighbors' children are among the "child soldiers" recruited into these terror cells.
Not sure why his blathering frequently involves African lions, but apparently they're part of the "Safari terror cell."
If you want to see where the Kate Brown story goes, expand at your own sanity's peril:
Sleight's core belief is that a "terror army" controlled by the Screen Actors' Guild and headquartered in Canada and the UK has killed all the other Oregonians aside from himself. He's suffering from the Capgras Delusion, believing that the terror army has replaced every person with an identical actor hired by the Screen Actors' Guild. In addition, there are individual "terror soldiers," which may or may not be figments of his imagination. These soldiers assault him at home and in public. According to Sleight, the terror soldiers are armed with nitrous oxide and versed gas, so he always carries a lighter to make their gas sprayers explode and launch them into the sky. He routinely waves his lighter in the face of Walmart customers and employees hoping to get the terror soldiers to leave him alone.
There are almost no pictures of Sleight on the internet; this was the most recent from nearly a decade ago.
He got arrested in June 2020 for failure to appear regarding a violation of a protective stalking order. He was also charged with resisting arrest.

Like most paranoid schizophrenics, Stone-Man-Warrior believes everyone around him is engaged in a conspiracy of global proportions with him as the target. His delusions involve being attacked at home on a daily basis by "terror soldiers" sent by nebulous evil forces, who may or may not be Kate Brown depending on the day.

...those are called neighbors.

If people are stealing stuff from your shed, call the cops? But somehow I doubt anything actually happened to the shit in his shed.

He thinks the US military is on his side, but state and local authorities are out to get him for some reason. The Screen Actors' Guild, mentioned earlier as the "SAGCoup Global Domination Crusades of Death" is one of many villains in Stone-Man-Warrior's bizarre universe, and is conspiring with many in government to wreak havoc upon the world:

In addition to Tumblr, Stone-Man-Warrior has been periodically active on Twitter as well. His accounts rarely last very long, but he posts more of the same paranoid nonsense as he does on Tumblr.

I screencapped some stuff from his last Twitter before it got taken down:
I have no idea how his brain is making these connections, but it's hilarious. He thinks carrying a lighter with him can protect him from the "terror soldiers" aka Walmart greeters:

In addition to what you've already seen, Stone-Man-Warrior insists there's an implant in his jaw that records and transmits every word he says and that most of his neighbors have been replaced by terrorist actors.
His deterioration has been rapid, and in 2021 he's allowed his legs to rot beneath the knees. In May, he stopped posting, leading most to speculate his body gave out. A welfare check did not yield a response.
Weeks later, Sleight posted again, talking about extreme pain before making a few more terror reports.
This is one of the last images Sleight posted of his rotting leg.
After a month or so of silence following his last posts, Sleight passed away July 20, 2021.
His only active social media account is his Tumblr (archive).
