What started as aspat between two local YouTube users in Las Vegas (FinnyDaLegend & SinnCity-MannyWise) turned deadly after over a year of back and forth provocations. Truly, the internet is serious business worth killing over...
There is some mis-information regarding this case that is worth clearing up. My initial understanding based on early reporting was that this was a situation that stayed in the digital realm up until its climax. But, based on both the video by The Charm Whisperer and what I've been able to find, this beef originally started offline. But make no mistake, YouTube as a platform played the key role in escalating all of this.
The initial incident that kicked off this feud occurred in late 2023 when livestreamer FinnyDaLegend ran across Manny's shop while streaming. Manny was displeased by FinnyDaLegend filming his store, and pepper sprayed Finny's wife, Bubbly, in response. From this point on, the conflict would be mostly digital as the two YouTubers and their fans took turns shitting on each other.
From the sounds of it, Manny (SinCity) was a bit of a lolcow with a past comprised of scamming and personal instability. "Rival" YouTuber Finny Da Legend called it to attention on occasion, with both sides consistently egging on the situation for drama views. This resulted in SinCity trying to copyright strike Finny Da Legend's channel in an attempt to have him terminated from YouTube.
To me, it appears to be a case of building spite and resentment. Manny continued to try (and fail) to knock Finny down a peg both online and irl. Presumably frustrations reached a boiling point as Manny's channel couldn't reach the same level of engagement as Finny, and so Manny decided to take extreme measures. On the night of June 9th 2025, Manny tracked down Finny and his wife during one of their livestreams, and shot both of them in a crowded space by the Bellagio Hotel and Casino. Manny stuck around the crime scene and turned himself in. No doubt he will be clowned on in prison for killing a couple over fucking YouTube videos.
Something shockingly dystopian about the whole ordeal that has stuck with me is the last moments and immediate reaction of Finny's wife to the shooting. Her attention turns from the shooting to directly into the camera, as she stares into it shocked, emoting for the audience, before grabbing it in her final seconds. To the end, her focus seemed to have been on getting content, an instinct that over took the natural fight or flight survival mode one would expect.
It feels morbid to speak of this event so soon, and I feel so strange as I had followed this saga until the end. Just a mere 5 hours before the tragedy unfolded, I was using his videos as a prime example of what YouTube Kids should not be filled with. On August 5, 2021, "SgtBullDog" took a final stand against his local police and was shot to death in the process.
Part of me feels the need to write this now right after the fact in the off chance any media picks up on it. As mentioned before, I had followed this account from near the beginning, initially found off of a last hour search of "rant." From my understanding, this downfall began with either an HOA or neighbors in his neck of the woods formally complaining about his "grass"/lawn.
"SgtBullDog's" bio claims he is a "19Yr + 3Tour WarVet," and clearly he was suffering as a result of his service. His bio also mentioned being a member of "Veteran Rehab & Refuge." From his videos, you can tell he was not in a healthy state of mind. His last uploads feel like a deathwish as he chugs alcohol straight out the bottle, begging for a final confrontation. I think he felt disillusioned to have believed he fought so hard for freedoms that were being denied to him in the countryside, which he felt was a sanctuary from the arbitrary nonsense of modern society.
"SgtBullDog" had two books allegedly set for a release, "Dark Side of the Army + Veteran Struggle & Survival Guide." His Veteran Struggle & Survival Guide claims to have been directed towards discussing the shortcomings of the US system's aid for verterans. Given the tragic finale to this man's story, this a book that needs to be published.
On July 21st, 2020 a woman in Columbus, Ohio attacked the police and fortified herself at her home. She livestreamed the event on YouTube as police tried to talk her out of her basement. Eventually she puts on a gas mask, and the police break through the window, filling the screen with tear gas. There are 6 videos in total of the livestream, of which I was able to download 2. The other 4, along with her entire channel, were removed by YouTube. I recall the stream ending with her still rambling out of frame. I am willing to reupload these if I can find a site willing to host them, and would appreciate it if anyone has copies of the other parts of the livestream. Part 1, part 2, and part 3 can be found mirrored on BitChute. Parts 4-6 appear to be lost media. There were also PDFs in her video description, which I assume is the paper she clings to in the video, but I do not have copies of those either.
The final livestreams recieved around 600 views as they gained attention on /pol/ due to the streamer being obsessed with missing children and pizza gate style "conspiracies." I tried to find some thread archives but didn't have any luck, searching for "justice for Maddly Arts" doesn't turn up much. So far I haven't been able to find any arrest reports or news stories about this case, but I will keep looking. Perhaps /x/ or /pol/ could shine more light on this, if anyone even remembers at this point.
Honestly this guy has always weirded me out in general...I guess he's just someone un-involved parents put on to pacify their children.
Before he was well known as "Blippi", Stephen John Grossman uploaded quite a foul and disgusting video...it was gross man. The video in question is titled "Harlem Shake Poop Edition," yes the scat being projected from his ass onto another naked man was indeed real, and no I will not be posting any pictures, you can find it for yourself.
Justin Mohn is a testament to the toxicity of delusion. In Justin's mind, he was an accomplished author, a musician, the leader of a revolutinary militia uprising, and overall someone who "only wishes to bring positive change to the world." As I look into Mohn's output I see a lot of parallels to Chris Chan, another lolcow with a similarly diverse (yet laughably bad) creative output mixed with a God complex. But Mohn isn't your regular lolcow, as he gained public notoriety for to murdering his father and uploading a YouTube video brandishing his decpitated head. The video was up for hours before YouTube struck it down, leading to widespread scrutiny.
In a now since deleted Reddit comment, a man claiming to know Justin through primary school claimed that he was a once bright student whose mental state began declining during his college years at PSU, leading him to drive away the people in his life. As his frustrations mounted post-graduation 2014 towards student loan debt and the in-ability to find a job, Justin filed a lawsuit against the United States seeking $10 million in damages in 2022 claiming that he was essentially defrauded and disadvantaged by student loans/college.
Justin would continue to grow disillusioned with the US and the Biden adminstration in particular (I'm sure Biden's failure to get significant student loan debt forgiveness passed certainly didn't help in that regard...) Justin's anger and schizophrenia would ultimately culminate in the murder of his father, a 68 year old engineer for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers whom he viewed as a traitor to the principles of freedom and independence for simply being a federal employee. Justin was swiftly arrested and is currently awaiting sentencing.
On April 12, 2022 Frank R. James entered the Brooklyn subway system dressed like a construction worker and began a mass shooting. He shot 33 rounds from his handgun, wounding 10 and killing no one. Additionally, James had set up some sort of explosive devices that appeared to have not properly detonated. He is currently being charged as a federal terrorist. James was captured after a 30 hour manhunt, taken into custody without a struggle.
James regularly uploaded to his YouTube account prophet oftruth88 since its creation on May 7, 2014. James' videos covered a range of political and social issues, particularly in regards to US race relations. It was James' beliefs that blacks were still in a form of slavery under white rule, and that the two groups were best left isolated from each other. He was also highly critical of New York's politicians, stating that “those were are the people who were supposed to help me. They made me worse! They made me worse They made me more dangerous than anyone could imagine."
In the videos, James admits to suffering from PTSD, and I would assume undiagnosed schizophrenia as well given what I have seen. Re-uploads of his videos are being quickly taken down on mainstream sites, but you can download an archive here.
With every channel/individual mentioned thusfar, these have been written after the fact. Usually their channels are deleted and all that can be provided is a Wayback link, however this is a unique case in which the channel in question is still active daily. Meet Matt n Jan Adventures.
Normally I wouldn't spotlight your average schizophrenic on YouTube (seriously just do a last hour/day search for "gang stalking" and you'll find plenty of them) but this is a whole other level as they have lived stream multiple angles of their home every day for a solid year now. Their life circumstances are unfortunate, but this is all just a really strange way of going about it to me. I suppose it's supposed to serve as an inspiration to others based on the description.
Matt goes over his schizophrenic symptoms in the first two videos uploaded onto the channel. He states that he does not suffer from auditory/visual hallucinations, but rather one this feeling that when watching television, the "context" is stripped away, and it becomes an intense experience, especially when considering how much television "influences the world" as a "form of mind control." He goes on to say that he had quit his medication due to it making his rectum bleed and the ways it inhibited his memory. Matt seems like a pretty smart guy though, wishing these two all the best.
Unfortunately...
