I don't know if this is real. I watched it and it looks real. It supposedly happened last night. I can't find anything on the news about it but that doesn't mean much.
I tried to watch on my phone but couldn't really see what was going on. Somebody should open a suicide studio with proper lighting and cameras so these freaks can get the attention they desire.
/b/ doesn't archive anything, and any new threads that have been created about this are being immediately 404'd. It's rumored that an 80-year-old man died in the blaze as well. Some say OP is dead, some say he's survived, and others say it's not yet been confirmed. This is the story allegedly connected to the incident: http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2013/11/30/1-killed-in-spring-garden-fire/ http://www.post-gazette.com/local/r...om-fire-in-Spring-Garden/stories/201311300152 There's a name and profile floating around, and it looks like him, but I don't know that it's real.
Still nothing but this is probably as close to "fairly accurate" as we get for now: http://www.dailydot.com/news/4chan-stephen-house-fire-livestream/
Thank you SO much Dakota. I watched this at 3:00 A.M. and I've been awake since, wondering if this (stupid ass) kid is still alive.
Dakota Moore aka Toaster Steve on YouTube: And I'd just like to add that I feel very, VERY sorry for the poor schmuck whose name and profiles have been floating around since last night. (In case you haven't guessed, his first name is Stephen.)
I don't feel sorry for him. As a 4Chan regular, he had to have known that his name and everything about him would become common knowledge ... no matter what the outcome was.
Noooo... I mean I feel sorry for the Stephen whose name has been being passed around. He's just some poor lookalike who has nothing to do with this. Toaster Steve isn't really a Stephen.
Insane. I'm glad they found him. No doubt it had to do with the text he sent before and the cam he had going throughout
My first question was what drugs was he on, then I saw the alcohol bottle and realized that is was alcohol and drugs. Another media whore.
I think this is his twitter. https://twitter.com/dakotamooree Also, I think he'd be pleased with the memes being made about him.
Thankfully this media whore didn't set out to kill a whole bunch of people like they often do these days.
Anyone else notice how this fell on the anniversary of the MySpace "you BROKE my LIFE" suicide kid? That had to have been one of the sickest and funniest memes in the history of the Internet.
Totally unrelated, but every time your avatar goes by I do a double take before I remember... that reminds me... I should change mine.
You want to use your Christmas one? I can see if @Whisper will give me one of her cats. I read she was getting ready to terrorize them with Santa hats!
Toaster Strudel Steve made it onto the front page... http://www.dreamindemon.com/2013/12/02/4chan-user-attempts-suicide-camera/ What puzzles me is why none of the news outlets are publishing his name. He isn't a minor and he isn't a victim. Well, possibly a victim of a false rape allegation (or two). But can you actually be considered a victim of your own crime in the land of Canadia?
I just had to Urban Dictionary a shitload of words. Oldfag, /b/, an hero.... I thought I understood the Internet, what the hell is this!
Notice the grinding of the mouth the twitching of the nose either he's on the coke or he is on that bath salts, molly or ecstasy that shit has people doing all types of fucked up shit this is the craziest shit I've ever witnessed live.
He was twitching and having what I call drug effects at the beginning makes you wonder if his state of mind was super altered by the time he came up with this idea it's just crazy and scary my kids are growing up already and at 18 and 16 this is a new worry for a parent like me.
I'd assume he took some of the pills before the camera started rolling -- perhaps as a means of calming his nerves. Some people get stage fright, you know.
