“I’ve been through a lot of shit, where I can say I wanted to kill people. I wanted to watch people die right in front of my fucking face immediately. But, I thought about the fact that, ‘Hey man, I don’t wanna go to no fucking prison.’ Fuck that…So, I had to absorb the bullshit. Even though it was building up inside me, what could I do? Not much.” |
Description:
I am searching for a COMPLETE archive of the "prophet oftruth88" YouTube channel, allegedly belonging to David R. James, a resident of New York City who has been identified as a suspect in the mass shooting which took place on April 12th, 2022 at 36th Street station in Sunset Park. COMPLETE means that all video metadata files, excluding comments, are present. Just the videos alone is not enough. The channel contained numerous schizo rants about the homeless situation in NYC, race relations in the United States, the Russo-Ukrainian war, and mental health services, or rather the lack of them, in NYC. The videos also depict David uttering numerous threats to commit violent acts and other crimes. The "prophet oftruth88" channel was terminated by YouTube on April 13th, 2022, citing Community Guidelines violations. Numerous other channels owned by, or at least connected to David in some way are still active, and I'm currently scraping the channels as I write this.
