Content Warning: a lot of unintelligible high-pitched swearing and whining.
Yesterday afternoon, #gamergate proponent and mentally unstable YouTube personality Jace Connors sent Brianna Wu avideo of himself screaming unintelligibly at a flipped-over Prius on the side of the highway, trying to kick in its windshield.
Connors had been "street racing" en route to Wu's residence, with at least one firearm in the car. As a result of his aggressive driving Connors flew off the road, flipped the Prius and filmed this meltdown video.
Connors has a history of unstable behavior as documented in his Youtube Channel, like this one, where he talks about sending a friend to Israel on a mission to save Tupac Shakur, who was murdered in 1996.
Connors was in contact with #gamergate big names King of Pol and Ralph Retort as recently as yesterday.
Some think this is a troll video. Wu believes that Connors meant to shoot her if he had made it to Boston.
I think that this video is genuine despite its over-the-top rage and conspiratorial allegations. Jace Connors is certainly unstable enough to do such a thing; and who would crash a car on a busy highway as a joke? So whether or not Jace's authentic-sounding video freak out could possibly be construed as satire is beside the point.
Additionally, Connors is hardly a safe driver: he was He was sending messages via Skype in his car at 2pm on Friday, enlisting help for his upcoming trip to Wu's residence.
The video itself was filmed in the mid-to-late afternoon, consistent with the timestamps in the Skype messages. It's a blessing that the car skidded on the ice and stranded Connors without anybody getting seriously injured.
As of 2pm Saturday Brianna Wu said she was in contact with law enforcement re: the unstable gunman currently threatening (and acting) to kill her.
