MILO YIANNOPOULOS EX-INTERN AND VOCAL TRUMP SUPPORTER KILLS DAD FOR CALLING HIM A NAZI

Source: Newsweek

A Washington State man who fatally stabbed his father after the older man called him a Nazi has now been revealed to be a former Milo Yiannopoulos intern, pro-Donald Trump reditter, YouTube rapper and conspiracy theorist who blogs as Seattle4Truth.

Lane Davis, 33, was unemployed and living with his parents Catherine and Charles Davis on Samish Island, according to a deep dive by The Daily Beast, which follows the twisted, bizarre case from Davis's early internet obsession with the right wing until July 14 when an outburst about “pedophiles who were taking over the country” ended with his dad bleeding out in the backyard.

"This island is in mourning," Angie Mashaw, the victim's sister-in-law and alleged killer's aunt, told the Skagit Valley Herald. "Our family loved (Charles) dearly. He was the brother I never had."

Appears the dad knew what a low life his son was.

.....According to an affidavit filed in Skagit County District Court, Lane Davis started a fight with his parents at their home in the 4000 block of Wharf Street, accusing the pair of being “leftists” and “pedophiles.”

Lane Davis reported his father, Charles "Chuck" Davis, attempted to kick him out of the house and had stated that he had called police. Lane Davis also told investigators his father had called him a Nazi and a racist, according to the affidavit.

The affidavit states Lane Davis then grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed Charles Davis in the chest multiple times.

An autopsy revealed Charles Davis had been stabbed at least five times in the chest and once in the back, according to the affidavit........................................

He is so convinced by internet conspiracy theories that I can't even talk to him. He thinks all liberals are insane and brainwashed by "globalists."

potentially violent and dangerous. There is something about this new brand of rhetoric that is more toxic than ever, ugly thoughts are turned to action quickly with this hate speech.

I feel bad for his parents. I don't know if they really recognized the problem - if they had their son would have been committed or at least banished from the house. If he was bad enough that even a dolt like Milo recognized it, he should have been hospitalized.

it is tough to even get 30 days, and even then they cant force people to take meds.

almost impossible to get anyone involuntarily committed these days unless they commit a serious crime.
not even that easy to kick a kid out of the house.
sadly i know this the hard way.

Lane Davis allegedly knifed his father Charles Davis to death on Samish Island, Washington State.

A former right-wing pro-Donald Trump YouTuber and intern for Milo Yiannopolous allegedly knifed his father to death for calling him a Nazi in Washington State.

Lane Davis, a conspiracy theorist who blogs as Seattle4Truth, has pleaded not guilty to the first-degree murder of Charles Davis on Samish Island.

According to court documents, the 33-year-old started a fight with his parents on 14 July claiming they were "leftists" and "paedophiles."

The Daily Beast reported that he was eventually fired by Yiannopoulos, a former senior editor at the right-leaning Breitbart News, with Lane threatening the British writer and going to BuzzFeed News with "false and inaccurate accusations".

And they let their useless asshole son live in their house while he spent all day eating their food, sucking up their retirement money, and positing vile shit. What a hero for the alt-right.

Headlines should appear as they were in the original article.

Why try to take a kick at someone who did the right thing?

Save your energy for more meaningful actions.

The all caps made it look like Milo killed his father. All caps requires us to look more closely that using upper and lower case letters. Thus my question. I didn't blast anyone. I just asked why?

in Mommy and Daddy's basement. Just another GOP "keyboard commando". There's a few million of them skulking around, seldom seeing the light of day. But "unemployed"? I thought everyone who wanted a job had one in the miracle Trump economy? It seems like all the good jobs are drying up for violent Republican Nazis these days. Trump had better get right on that. His "base" is dwindling.
