Event
On July 13th 2024 Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to kill former president Donald J. Trump during his campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania. The would be assassin fired eight rounds in the direction of trump, grazing his right ear, killing Corey Comperatore, and injuring two other audience members.
Thomas Matthew Crooks was quickly eliminated by the former presidents secret service. investigations into motive are still ongoing, all current evidence points toward Thomas not being mentally ill or of extreme political ideology however a small minority speculate on him being a staged plant.
Initial Response
July 13, Destiny was coming back from Nashville where he was doing a show with Daily Wire personality Michael Knowles, when the attempted assassination occurred. He shared his opinions on twitter and had a short 30 minute convo on / with WhickTV before returning to stream on the 14th
WhickTV Conversation
Whicks initial contention was that despite low standards on one side this does not authorize democrats to engage in the same kind of rhetoric and behavior, Further he blamed democrats use of aggressive humor as causing divisions in the US.
Steven immediately rejected the idea that democrats have not acquiesced enough to republican fragility
Whick believed that the normalization of antagonistic humor was a "pandoras box" and enabled Thomas Matthew Crooks to fire at Donald Trump
Steven argued that the harm has already been done when trump attempted an insurrection of the USA and was granted absolute and presumptive immunity for 'core and official powers'
Whick attempted to appeal to practicality saying yes republicans bad yes they wont help fix the problem yes etc BUT.. ignoring morality the poor rhetoric and actions by republicans is why everyone sees them as 'the bad guys' and why they lost in 2020 and will lose in 2024
Steven pointed out that factually republicans and trump didnt lose because of their extremism but rather a poor handling of covid, further trump hasnt lost his popularity in the republican party and has only gotten more extreme and is polling better than 2020
Whick rebuted saying Destiny is being simplistic saying covid was the one thing that prevented trump from winning instead of being nuanced...

| Let me clarify: when I say “conflicted” what I mean is that I lean towards seeing it as a natural extension of the thing Trump and the MAGA kids support, so I don’t think I have much sympathy about the attempt enough to chastise people celebrating it. | |

| If we learned anything today, I hope it’s realizing the importance of principles I’ve stressed many times on stream before: having a firearm means absolutely nothing if you don’t spend time at the range practicing with it. | |

Ensuing Events
Temporary Twitter Ban
Destiny's spicy tweeting drew the eyes of many X users, including billionaire and X owner Elon Musk.
July 14th Elon Musk agrees to a tweet expressing the belief that Stevens recent speech on platform was inappropriate for advertisers and a violation of the "Hate or extremist content and Sensitive Content section of X standards. (and that) This means his account should be permanently suspended from X ads revenue sharing program." Shortly after Steven was demonetized and locked out of his account @TheOmniLiberal for 12 hours.
AdrianDittmann Twitter Conversation
After Stevens temporary twitter ban he mocked the hypocrisy of tweets made by elon musk defending the idea that stevens conduct on platform is not appropriate for advertisers. almost an hour later Adrian Dittmann, a hypothesized alt account of elon, came to the defense and invited Steven to a conversation.

Steven was given his own page https://july13th.com/hate/destiny-wall-of-hate/
Tim Pool Blacklisted
On July 16th in a stream with The Quartering, Alex Stein, and Luke Rudkowski. Tim Pool says that "He (Destiny) is never allowed on my show, and its not because i have a personal beef with him. Its because if you were to come on my show and advocate for the things he's advocating for we get insta banned"
July 17h Steven gives a light reaction at the end of The Schizo Stream to comments made by Tim. Steven is less outraged and more exhausted with the hypocrisy of conservatives engaging in extreme rhetoric, like Tim pool calling for the imprisonment of democrats, and a guest or co-host, explicitly calling for their death, while blaming democrats for political extremism and division in the country.
Bridge Burn With Adam And Sitch
on July 17th a chatter links a clip of Adam & Sitch agreeing with a super chat saying Destiny demands infinite charity and doesn't give any. Steven gives a strong reaction stating "the sad thing is their minds got broken becasue we did one conversation where i thought they carried a lot of water for Donald Trump"
Kick Ban & Unban
On July 16th Steven aka Destiny was banned on kick it would later be revealed that he was banned for saying f that dude in reference to the firefighter at the trump rally who died.
This action was condemned by large figures like Asmongold XQC and LSF
4 days later on July 21 this decision would be reversed thanks to friend of the stream Trainwrecks
