October 16th Incident
On October 16th, 2022, Daniel was kicked out of his housing, ending the Second Housing Arc.
Background
Daniel was homeless for several months. During the summer of 2022, he worked with his case manager Reva to secure housing with assistance from the Shields Foundation. On August 31, 2022, Daniel moved into a house ran by a woman known as Miss P. He was the only client living in the house. However, within a few days after moving in, Daniel had already caused damage to the house; he put several holes in the wall, and broke a window during a meltdown, to which he attributed to the trolls. Over time, he caused more damage to the bedroom as he ripped out sections of the walls and broke the same window again, leading to the window being boarded up. The same month, the address to the house was leaked online, resulting in numerous unsolicited deliveries daily, including many unpaid pizzas and a glass dildo, which Daniel attributed to purchases made by Miss P.[1] The constant deliveries also caused Daniel to do more damage around the house.
The Incident
On October 16, 2022, a meeting was called between Miss P and Reva, as well as other staff from the Shields Foundation at the house. The purpose of the meeting was to address the many deliveries of pizzas and sex toys, as well as the damage Daniel caused. Daniel began "secretly" recording the meeting shortly after it began. During the meeting, a woman begins to speak to Daniel about his online behavior and interactions with trolls. She also notices that Daniel is recording the meeting, which causes Daniel to get upset; he tries to justify it by claiming he's legally required to do so, before kicking something and then locking himself in a bathroom. He then begins to argue with Miss P and the other staff while they call the police, and Daniel kicks the walls, while also accusing the Shields Foundation of “blaming me for my fucking career.” He tries to get them to listen to him, but they do not, further intensifying his meltdown.
After his meltdown and the cops arrive, Daniel tries to explain in length the events involving his fame and case managers. Following this, he was then trespassed from the house and issued a $1,000 citation. This incident marked the final time that Daniel had access to organized housing, and he would remain homeless ever since. The closest place he's had to a home since then has been FCI Englewood.
Recap
Miss P lets in two men and a woman from the Shields Foundation, and woman 1 and Daniel start conversing. She questions him about his online activities and the trolls, but they continually interrupt each other to the point it upsets Daniel, so he kicks something then runs upstairs and locks himself in the bathroom.
It then cuts to him arguing with Miss P, a woman, and a man while they call the police and he kicks the walls of the house. Daniel tries to get them to listen to him, but they don't, which was a misstep on their part as it agitated him even more than he already was.
It then cuts to an upwards shot of Daniel where he is mostly seen talking to the same man from before while hitting himself, things around him. and accusing them of not listening or caring about him or his "procedures", them being that they should call his current entertainment manager and Reva. The man is trying to get him to calm down and convince him that they have his best interests in mind, but he rejects this because they called the police.
Daniel, after a lot of arguing, faces the camera and complains about them calling the police and not listening, saying that they won't listen to him. He then re-enters the situation, where the man tells him that they called EMS instead of police, saying that they were worried about his head that he apparently put through wall multiple times. Daniel complains to them, and "explains" his nonsense procedures, which escalates the back and forth to an argument.
It then cuts to another clip of Daniel laying down his phone, proceeding to get sternly questioned by a female police officer. He tries to go on to her about him being a singer and songwriter, but she tells him she already knows who he is and steers the conversation back on track where they talk about "what happened last night", referring to what was previously written.
It then cuts to him sitting and putting his camera face-down on a table. The police officer from before talks to Miss P about Daniel leaving the house, and that they would give him some necessities and a citation and send him on his way. This records the audio of Daniel getting his stuff, while the man from before tells the policewoman and another man that he doesn't have any food and shouldn't be sent on his own.
Nothing happens until Daniel grabs his phone and leaves the house. He climbs into the back seat of a car with the help of a social worker, where the social workers confirm his information and ask him questions before the video cuts to him walking down a street.
