Right fuck this. I have reported Danny Tommo’s YouTube video and I implore others to do the same. They are platforming a man who live streamed himself essentially committing a crime and he will be making money off of it as well. Please please report the video www.youtube.com/live/lkeZbk8...

Stabbing a lifeboat when the people are out at sea is attempted murder. It’s time that inbred fuck was back in prison (I assume he’s been before and may he go again)
