I found out from a post by /u/neverstopthezerg. Say hi if you are reading this. Also say hi if you're a fed reading this, I guess.

Name is @1dayUsuffer, or Joshua Cobb

He was a black ex-Marine who was was arrested on Friday, May 10, 2024 for making threats to kill white people. The charge was "transmitting a threat in interstate and foreign commerce", punishable by a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. He fantasized about shooting up a gym, a supermarket, or a rich white area. He felt a connection to Nikolas Cruz and liked the "element of surprise and style" of the 2022 Buffalo shooting (even though Payton Gendron targeted black people).

He made his WPD account on February 22, 2023 and made posts from February 23, 2023 to June 7, 2023. (I do not know if there are deleted or removed comments from later dates.) His last voting activity was on January 6, 2024.

Announcement (Justice.gov)

This is the criminal complaint PDF. They did not mention WPD or Reddit by name.

On December 17, 2022, he apparently made a post on Reddit under the username /u/NearbyUser101 stating the following. I could not find the post.

I want to cause mayhem on the white community. The reason i specifically want to target white people is because as a black male, they will NEVER understand my struggles. Same way I will never understand their struggles, but I don't care to. I want to erase them. All of them really, but in this case as many as I possibly can. As of today I have officially began planning my attack. It is going to take place in 2023 in the state of New Jersey, I have not chosen a exact date but I am going to be sure it is close to an important holiday to their race. I have a location in mind already which I have frequented for the past year and I am certain nobody there is armed to be able to stop me from spraying them to the ground. I have already acquired 2 of the 4 firearms I plan to use for my attack, and I also know my entry and exit points already after the mayhem.

This is his WPD bio. "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun"

WPD comments

Just read the bold parts if it's too much text.

Some of his comments include:

#958064 No expectations buddy. I'm just leaving evidence for whoever investigates my case.

Yeah, I know, creating this post is probably exactly what he would've wanted.

#957987 What is help going to do for me? And the person who is going to “help” me is only doing it because they are getting paid man. Its all a fucking facade. They dont really care. Lets be real man. Tbh I hope I do progress into a serial killer because I fucking hate life man. I did not ask for this shit. This shit hurts so fucking bad man. Every time I go on social media all I see is other kids my age on fucking boats and jetskis surrounded by drunk hot girls and just having all kinds of fun and then theres me…… doomed to fucking bullshit. Why is life so fucking unfair I hate this shit so much man…. But one day everyone will suffer. I promise I will make everyone feel my fucking pain. My deep, sincere, raw, & sharp pain.

#957994 Fuck those animals. My favorite weapon to kill them with is my crossbow. I use broadhead tips and send it straight to through their brains. Last cat I got I hit him/her right in the eye and that shit was on the floor. Very bloody scene and I loved it. I dont take pictures with my phone but the images remain in my brain.

He hated cats. He wrote about it in more detail here.

#958286 Bro just because you're idea of a happy ending mignt be going too college and slaving away in a cubicle for eternity & getting married doesnt mean its @1dayUsuffer's as well. There is a massive epidemic going on right now. Nobody wahts too acknowledge that us young men in America have so many obstacles stacked against us we cannot excel no matter how hard we try. Especially those like myself who are BLACK & come from poverty. There is no way out for me.

The only way out is bloodshed. Thats success in @1dayUsuffer's eyes.

Furry rights are human rights.

#626107 Ahhh cmon, imagine the rush you'd feel while shooting some shit up. Probably could get literally high off the adrenaline alone. I'd probably OD on my own adrenaline after the 10th body goes down.

#624190 I bet a lot of people said the same thing about these guys that go and kill people like this...THey probably got tired of people like you saying what they will or wont do... and calling them retards... It makes sense why they get tired of being doubted and talked to any kind of way so they go blow fucking brains apart.

And also, just because you don't agree with something doesn't make it cringe. Fuck out of here with that dumb ass word this edit is dope. Nothing better than watching people die to some sick tunes.

And I really don't get why you are so bothered by people who wish to idolize school shooters. If that's what someone likes, let them like that.. Why does it concern you so much? Are you afraid one day that person might end up shooting you apart into legit pieces one day? Why is it ok for someone to idolize Michael Jordan or Lebron James but not Nicholas Cruz or Payton Gendron? Sounds like a lot of fear to me...

#625258 I'm defending them because I feel their same pain every waking day of my life... I know exactly what it feels like to be constantly fucked with by people all your life, I know what it's like to be the "outsider" or "loner" as some might say. This world we inhabit is a cold and very dark place for some of us and people make it no better because they love to treat you like a fucking outcast until you become one of these so-called "freaks", & blow their heads apart.

And I kind of agree with you on the second part though, if someone is so miserable to that point they should just kill themselves, but at the same time, if most of your anger is toward humanity and its treatment of you, why not steal a couple of souls before you pull the trigger on yourself? Fruit for thought.

His opinion on idolizing mass shooters.

#957903 1: Yes

2: No documented history but I definitely have problems but I refuse to get evaluated because I will lose my firearms license here in America. Not to mention, pretty much every single person in my family tree clearly shows signs of multiple different mental illnesses & I had 3 aunts who were diagnosed Schizophrenics, so do as you will with that information.

3: That and the adrenaline rush is nice because I'm a depressed lonely piece of shit loser with nothing to live for so watching people get fucking MERKED gives me some excitement.

4: 100% someday. Just not yet though, I want to continue training and buying more ammunition.

I don't know what the questions were because the post was deleted. I'm guessing the 4th question was something along the lines of "Would you ever harm/kill someone else?".

Phone Notes

Here are notes from his phone, from April to May 2023. Italic words are ones I could not make out from the PDF.

First note (March 16, 2023)

Life is nothing.

and it is meaningless. I fucking hate all of you soft ass fucking people. You all are so fucking fake. You all try to play the part and confide to this stupid ass game. Who can be the fakest? I see it all day long. Fake interactions people putting on their fake happy voices when they know deep inside they are screaming.... Why not be true and let the scream out? Why hide it? It's all a fucking game and you all are going to die. I currently lack the means necessary to kill as many as I intend to but one day I will have the available resources (finance) to purchase the appropriate weaponry for my killing(s).

All my life I have been doubyed… Ive been taken as the joke… ive been fucked around with… well now its my turn. I am going to kill one of you motheruckers I fucking hate humanity. All of you fucking duck and I don't give a single fuck about any of you though I may appear I do. People ACT like they care for you. All of their care is conditional. The moment you do one thing against their conditions they no longer care... so the question becomes. did they care in the first place? Here Ill answer that for you. NO.

Its all fucking fake and I am sick of it. Im ready to grt to the good part of my story where I start taking you mother fuckers out and killing you all… My rampage will soon happen… I plan to now continue accumulating the necessary equipment needed to execute. Once all equipment is in, time will then tell. You will all die.

Second note (March 20, 2023)

For all of my life, all that I can remember I've been the outcast..Ive been ignored. Ive been left out. Ive been forgotten. Ive been excluded.

As of recent I have began to accept this dark reality for myself.

Nobody wants or appreciates my company. And that is okay with me. I will want and appreciate my own company.

I no longer seek the companionships of other humans. There comes a point where you realize you just literally do not matter to other(certain) people. I hate all of this shit and I feel like my only way out of the pain and suffering is by exploding. So I await… I await that moment so I can make those moments final. For whomever… myself or a victim.

‘B—-, you dead': Woman ‘marched' friend into alley at gunpoint and executed her, then claimed it was self-defense, police say

A 33-year-old woman in Washington state has been arrested for the coldblooded execution of one of her friends, allegedly leading the other woman into a back alley at gunpoint and repeatedly taunting her before shooting her multiple times.

Rickesha D. Overton was taken into custody on Sunday and charged with one count of first-degree premeditated murder with a firearm and second-degree assault with a deadly weapon in the slaying of Alisia DeCoteau, authorities announced.

According to a news release from the Seattle Police Department, officers at about 1:10 a.m. responded to an emergency call regarding shots being fired inside of a building in the 2500 block of Western Avenue. Upon arriving at the scene, first responders said they found a female victim in her 20s or 30s suffering from what appeared to be multiple gunshot wounds in the alleyway between Wall St. and Vine.

Emergency medical personnel attempted lifesaving measures on the victim, later identified as DeCoteau, but were unable to resuscitate her. She was pronounced dead on the scene.

Investigators quickly identified the suspected shooter as Overton, who was located running from the scene and taken into custody. Police said she was carrying a handgun with an empty magazine when apprehended.

An excerpt from the charging documents released by the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office provided additional details about what happened in the last moments of the victim's life, which investigators learned by obtaining security footage of the shooting.

The footage allegedly showed Overton “holding the victim at gun point as she marches the victim down the stairs” of the apartment complex and to the building's back door, which leads into the alley way. After forcing the victim out the back door, Overton allegedly threw DeCoteau to the ground. Overton initially goes back inside of the building before apparently changing her mind.

“Internal stairway video captures the precise moment in which the defendant, still armed with a firearm, stops halfway up the stairs and changes course to head directly back through the door in which she just came, back to where she left the victim,” the charging document states. “Standing over the victim the defendant taunts her, stating ‘say I won't,' in essence daring the victim to question whether the defendant will in fact use very gun she's been holding over the victim against her. It's at this moment that the defendant shoots the victim multiple times, aiming the final shot into the back of the victim's head.”

In court documents obtained by Seattle CBS affiliate KIRO, authorities said that just prior to the shooting, Overton could be heard yelling at the victim, “I'll blow your mouth. Say I won't. Say I won't.”

After allegedly shooting the victim in the head, Overton reportedly continued to pull the trigger several times despite being out of ammunition. As DeCoteau was lying on the ground, Overton was allegedly heard yelling, “You dead b—-. B—-, you dead. She then proceeded to kick DeCoteau at least five times before a crowd of eyewitnesses intervened.

One of the witnesses began filming the grisly scene, which reportedly showed Overton pointing her handgun at the growing mass of people and screaming, “I'll blow your mother f—— brains out.”

When police first encountered Overton, she reportedly claimed that she killed DeCoteau in self-defense.

“She came into my apartment,” Overton allegedly said. “It was self-defense. I had to shoot her.”

A short while later, Overton reportedly began changing her story.

“She's not even dead,” the suspect allegedly said at one point. Later, she told police, “I don't care if you give me life,” adding, “I just want to go to Alisia (DeCoteau's) funeral.”

While the nature of the relationship between Overton and DeCoteau was not specified by authorities, KIRO confirmed that the two were friends on Facebook.

According to a GoFundMe page setup for DeCoteau's memorial, she was the mother to a baby who is now in the care of DeCoteau's older sister.

USA - New York, March 27, 2024

OZONE PARK, Queens (WABC) -- A man wielding scissors was shot and killed by police in the Ozone Park section of Queens on Wednesday afternoon.

Officers were responding to a home on 103rd Street after a mother called about her 19-year-old son acting erratically.

When officers arrived, they were confronted by the man who was wielding scissors.

NYPD officials say the officers attempted to take the man into custody and get him help, but instead, he pulled a pair of scissors out of a drawer and charged at the officers.

The officers initially fired their tasers at the man, in the living room kitchen of his second-floor home, but as his mother rushed to his aid, officials say "she accidentally knocked the tasers out of his body," rendering them ineffective

The suspect then picked up the scissors and came at the officers again, forcing them to open fire.

"It was chaotic, fast moving and they had to defend themselves," NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell said.

The man who was shot was taken to Jamaica Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

The officers were not injured but were taken to an area hospital to be treated for ringing of the ears.

Original video:

Tukwila, Washington, United States

Seattle police released new bodycam video Friday evening that shows the moments leading up to officers fatally shooting a suspected child predator at a Tukwila hotel earlier this week.

Seattle Police Department (SPD) Chief Adrian Diaz said the 67-year-old child predator suspect arrived at the DoubleTree Suites hotel around 3:13 p.m. on Wednesday under the impression that he was meeting two young girls, ages 7 and 11.

However, unbeknownst to the suspect, multiple SPD officers with the Washington State Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce were undercover and waiting to arrest the man.

The newly released video shows the officers opening the door for the man, who immediately flashed a gun. A scuffle then occurred before police ultimately fatally shot the man. The man was later pronounced dead at the scene, according to police.

Officials at the scene said a Seattle officer was grazed by a bullet on their leg during the shootout with the man.

Who is Logan Paul?

Logan Alexander Paul is a famed social media influencer/YouTuber, professional wrestler, actor, an entrepreneur, and a professional dumbass. Logan was born on August 1st, 1995 to Gregory Allan Paul and Pam Stepnick and has a brother 2 years younger than him, Jake Paul, who is also a social media influencer/YouTuber and an actor.

Jake + Logan (old + current photos)

Logan's fame started on the platform known as 'Vine'. When Vine shut down, Logan made a YouTube channel called TheOfficialLoganPaul, on October 18, 2013, where he would continue to post regularly. On August 29, 2015, he created the Logan Paul Vlogs channel, which is now his most-subscribed to YouTube channel. It was also said he "was ranked on the Forbes list for the highest paid YouTube creators in 2017, 2018, and 2021." [3]

About the Video

Encounter Clip

In a video posted in 2017, Logan Paul, a YouTuber, filmed a man hanging in the infamous 'Suicide Forest' also know as Aokigahara Forest in Fujikawaguchiko, Yamanashi, Japan..He fucked up and here's what happened.

The initial purpose of the video was to focus on the haunted aspects of the forest and to camp there throughout the night when they unexpectedly stumbled across a man hanging from a tree and were met with a shocking site...When they got to the forest, they were cracking jokes and making light of the situation but stressing that it is suicide forest. At 5:47, They discovered the body, Logan said, "Im not even kidding, this isn't a fucking joke guys, that's a fucking person." After repeated denial they got closer to the body. In shock, Logan asked "Did we just find a dead person in the suicide forest, hanging?" And after being asked if they think it's real, one of his friends mentioned they know the possibility of it being a real person based on a previous suicide from a classmate from the junior highschool he went to, (I am unsure if he was referring to this possibly being the man hanging in the video) this prompted the man to take action and called the police.

When they got closer to the body, they tried checking for signs of life by exclaiming things like "Hey/Hello" "You okay?" "Yo are you alive, are you fucking with us?" They show his hands and they're purple, indicating that this was a recent suicide and is infact dead

Photos of the Hanging Man

Thankfully, he did censor his face with the intent of protecting him, his privacy, and his family. This being said, there is not a known/public uncensored video, so please don't ask me for it.

Throughout the video they expressed their denial and how this has never happened to them before. Logan apologized for the grim video, saying how "Suicide is not a joke" and "Depression and mental illnesses is not a joke, we came here with the intent to focus on the haunted aspect of the forest. This just became very real." When they were met with the reality they came to realize it was "real" and "way too scarily real" and that it was "the most real vlog I've ever made"..they start making jokes of the situation by sarcastically asking "you ever stand next to a dead guy before?" to which they start laughing at and follow up with their own jokes and went on about how the whole video was supposed to be a joke but asked "why did it become so real?" He says his laughing and jokes are not a portrayal of how they actually feel about the situation however they were still met with a lot of backlash to which he has since responded to in a 1:44 minute video and a public Twitter/X post.

I do not know what was going through his head when he was editing and thinking this would be suitable for the platform or his audience. He was disrespectful and exploited the situation and excuses his actions as a "coping mechanism".

Why Was it a Problem?

Consider his target audience, it is primarily children and teens. Displaying a real depiction of a dead person on your public channel is very disturbing and distasteful and the way he was exploiting the situation/the hanging man is deplorable. He didn't take the situation seriously and covered it as a coping mechanism, regardless of how he processes this stuff, he still has a young and impressionable audience who shouldn't be exposed to content like this and the way he was light-hearted about it all took away from the seriousness of the situation and what happened with the man. He blatantly exploited him for what he thought was spreading awareness for suicide.

His Apology

Public Apology on Twitter/X

You can review the response this post got here:

https://twitter.com/LoganPaul/status/948026294066864128

Video Apology

Logan made this apology with no intentions of being forgiven but to apologize. He ensures the initial video was raw, unfiltered, and unscripted and how they were unsure of how to think or act given the circumstances. In his apology to the victim/his family and to the Internet, he asks that those who are defending his actions to stop because those actions don't deserve to be defended. He said, "I should have never posted the video. I should have put the cameras down" and claims didn't post the video with ill or malicious intent.

Backlash

Understandably, people were angry with the video he put out. Carelessly filming a hanging man and joking around and sharing it to his YouTube where his primary audience is children and teens. He didn't take the situation seriously and

Tweets Responding on the Situation

Again, more responses can be found here: https://twitter.com/LoganPaul/status/948026294066864128

PewDiePie (Felix) himself called him out on a now deleted tweet saying:

Felix wrote: "Logan Paul goes to 'suicide forest': WoAH wE f0UNd ded GuY here!!!!! s0 cRaZy! lEMme jUsT zOom in oN tHis F0r tHe Vl0g. OK guYs seRiousLy, lEAve a like if yur sad to0." [4]

In response to everything, Logan donated $1 million to suicide prevention agencies

The Lawsuit

While Logan wasn't removed from the platform, he was sued for this incident, rightfully so. On February 12th, CEO Susan Wojcicki said that "Paul did not violate YouTube's three-strike policy and did not meet the criteria for being banned from the platform." [3] Logan was sued by a production agency called Planeless Pictures for

The lawsuit claims:

Paul “knew that the broadcast of the suicide would have a substantial impact on his followers and would also have a serious adverse impact on Planeless.” [6]

The YouTuber “intended to take advantage of the substantial anticipated exposure that the broadcast of the suicide would generate and thus enhance Paul's celebrity and acted in reckless disregard for the adverse consequences that he knew would result to Planeless" [6]

On or about January 22nd, 2018, Google terminated its partnership with Planeless and declined to distribute their movie, "Airplane Mode," which Logan starded in, citing the suicide broadcast as a noncurable event as per their agreement. "As a result, Planeless never received the compensation that Google was contractually obligated to pay to it — $3,500,000," the documents allege. [6] The company is now pursuing Logan to reimburse this sum along with other general and consequential damages, as well as attorney's fees and legal expenses.

Aftermath

After the video was released, he was cut from the Google Performed program which allows advertisers to pay to place their ads on high-performing videos on its site and in an interview he mentioned he lost $5 million from it. He also lost sponsorship/brand deals, his YouTube Red series "Foursome", and more. In 2018, according to Social Blade, he lost 6k+ subscribers since the incident and at that time he was at 15.2 million subscribers.

But despite the backlash from the incident, he continued to gain over 300,000 (2018) and has continued to rebuild himself and grow from the situation. Logan Paul continued vlogging on February 4th, after a 3 week long break, and has remained successful at 23.5 million subscribers and is at 6 billion views receiving an average of 5+ million views per videos (2024). He is still successful and will likely remain successful if he continues to move on the right track. He is the co-founder of 'Prime' beverages. And starting in 2018 he has run the 'Impaulsive' podcast which has over 4 million YouTube subscribers and is overall a successful podcast. "As a wrestler, he has been signed to WWE since June 2022, where he performs on the SmackDown brand and is the current WWE United States Champion in his first reign." [3]

Logan Wins First WWE Championship

I believe he has since grown and learn from this particular situation and understands the severity of his mistakes, he unfortunately had to learn the hard way. It is clear he has a past and continual history of fuck-ups and dumbassery.

The video begins with the terrified neighbor seemingly locked outside his house and asking someone to let him in.

The officers repeatedly ask the neighbor to go inside the home, but he informs them he can't because he does not have the keys.

The shooting happened as four officers were serving a warrant for felon Terry Clark Hughes, who was wanted for possessing a firearm and shot dead in the gun battle.

Samuel 'Sam' Polche, William 'Alden' Elliot and Charlotte police officer Joshua Eyer died Monday following the horror shooting as they tried to serve warrant. Both Polche and Elliot were North Carolina Department of Adult Corrections officers working with the US Marshal's office.

Press Release

Charlotte, N.C. – (Tuesday, April 30, 2024) – Today, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department provided an update on Monday's tragic attack on law enforcement officers in the North Tryon Division. CMPD Chief Johnny Jennings released the names and conditions of the four CMPD officers wounded in the incident. U.S. Marshals Service Director Ronald Davis released the identity of the fourth officer killed in the line of duty.

Deputy U.S. Marshal Thomas Weeks died in the hospital from his gunshot wound injuries. He was a 13-year veteran of the U.S. Marshals Office. CMPD Officer Christopher Tolley, hired in May of 2006, underwent surgery to treat his gunshot wound injuries and remains in the hospital in stable condition. CMPD Officer Michael Giglio, hired in February of 2021, was treated for gunshot wound injuries and released from the hospital Monday. CMPD Officer Jack Blowers, hired in February of 2023, was also treated for his gunshot wound injuries and was released from the hospital Monday. CMPD Officer Justin Campbell, hired in June of 2020, sustained injuries resulting in a broken foot. Officer Campbell was treated and released from the hospital Tuesday morning.

CMPD was joined at a press conference this morning by the U.S. Marshals Office, the U.S. Attorney's Office of the Western District, Governor Roy Cooper, Attorney General Josh Stein, Mayor Vi Lyles and the City of Charlotte.

CMPD's Crime Scene Investigation Unit and detectives worked through the night processing the crime scene in the 5000 block of Galway Drive in the North Tryon Division. During the investigation, a semi-automatic AR-15 rifle, 40-caliber handgun and additional magazines and ammo for both weapons were recovered on scene.

Two females inside the residence were brought in on Monday, April 29, to be interviewed by detectives. They are fully cooperating with the investigation. Detectives are not looking for any additional suspects or persons of interest.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Investigators on Wednesday continued working to piece together the timeline of a deadly shooting in east Charlotte that killed four officers and left four others with gunshot wounds, rocking the law enforcement community nationwide and spurring an outpouring of support for the officers and their families.

Civic and religious leaders are asking the community for patience, love and grace as they grapple with the fallout of the deaths: Four families who have lost a husband and a father.

Officials have declined to discuss the specifics of the incident, including whether it was appropriate for law enforcement to engage in a lengthy gun battle in the middle of a neighborhood in the middle of the day.

"We do, like a number of cities across this country, have issues around violence. But I think most of the time we can identify why and how," Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles said Tuesday night following a community prayer vigil. "In this situation, I think once they finish the investigation, we will probably know more about the how and the why. And my goal is that we complete the investigation, we actually learn from what is going on and that we move forward together."

Sorry to anyone I didn't get in the pic, there were just so many of us! If you missed out this year make sure to come to next years!
