August 29th Meltdown

(Redirected from August 29st Meltdown)


On August 29, 2023, Daniel had a meltdown on his YouTube Community Tab, before livestreaming what is possibly his most violent meltdown, during which he is seen slamming his head against a wall and repeatedly hitting himself in the face. This was caused by threats from a fake Grace VanderWaal, fueling his already existing anger, after he once again spent a night on the streets, complete with breaking an establishment's windows. This led to a severe meltdown.

There he goes, threatening unspecified legal action on people

This is considered one of Daniel's most violent and mentally debilitating meltdowns. While most of it occurred on the Community Tab, Daniel eventually went live, revealing just how bad of a condition he was in at the time. Subsequently, just two days later, Daniel got into an altercation with Bob in his car.

Components of the meltdown

 
Daniel threatens, god, what again?

Daniel reacted as follows:

Many additional events occurred which do not seem to have been documented, as hundreds of posts were made in just several hours.

Due to a lack of donations or Cameo funds, Daniel was forced to spend the night of the 28th and the early hours of the 29th on the streets of Denver. Daniel was evidently in a harsh mental state all night long, given that he was frustrated enough to not only smash the window of a random establishment he was passing, but also to break a $100 pair of headphones, or at least so he claimed. Photos of the damage to the establishment would appear on Daniel's hacked Instagram.

 
Daniel tries, and fails to text 911

The day started for Daniel with extensive harassment by a fake Grace over text messages sent to his phone number. This Grace threatened death upon Daniel, called him a pedophile, implied sexual relations with Bob Proctor, and mocked him by calling him a cuckold for Jacob Sartorius, among others.

At one point, Daniel even attempted to send 911 a screenshot of one of the conversations with this fake Grace. Unfortunately for Daniel, (or fortunately, as it is a crime to waste 911's time), the text did not go through as he sent an image instead of just text.

YouTube Short and Live Stream

Prior to a live stream, Daniel would upload and then immediately delete a YouTube short, stating it was a message for Grace VanderWaal. In the video, Daniel calls her the n-word, a hater, and states he will now always hate her for what she did.

He also states he will be bombing the White House, and every single police station in the entire US. This was a factor that led to the Second Jail Arc.

Daniel ends the video by stating that Grace told him to make it. This was the start of the meltdown.

Transcript

Daniel: This message is to Grace. Grace is a fucking n****r and hater and I will always hate her now because of what she did. And yes, I will bomb the White House. I will fucking bomb the White House. I will fucking bomb every single police station and the entire US, and Grace told me to make this video.

Automated voice: Train to Union Station departing in one minute.

Later in the afternoon, the meltdown escalated tremendously and continued in a YouTube live stream, titled Proof for n***er Grace VanderWaal I am hitting myself until i bleed". The video contains Daniel crying hysterically, aggressively hitting himself and slamming his head against a wall for most of the video, while repeatedly shouting that he wanted Grace dead.

Daniel would even begin slamming his head onto the sidewalk and a nearby wall, though he did not appear to seriously injure himself. Daniel continued to flip off the camera, still moaning about wanting Grace "fucking dead", and whimpering in a fit of rage. The full video was available on Daniel's YouTube channel before eventually being taken down by YouTube, either for the violence exhibited or for the bigoted title, though the exact reason for the removal is unknown.
