So who has heard all this shit going on with Calum McSwiggan?
Yeah, me too. When I first heard, I was devastated. First Pulse, then this... at VidCon? In LA?
It made me feel so... targeted. It's like we all just jumped into a time machine and went backwards.
It's scary to think that you can't go out into public for fear of getting your ass beat, or worse.
Well imagine my surprise to hear that things are not quite as they seem. There are a million stories all over the internet, each crazier than the next. But what seems to be clear to me is that this was NOT a hate crime. In fact, those stitches across his forehead are from a self-induced injury (he himself admits this). WHAT?!?!?
People who claim to be his 3 "attackers" (two gay men and a transexual if I remember correctly) have a completely different story involving a flirty drunken Calum who was looking to have a bit of "fun". I don't know if these are actually the people involved are not, but if they are, and if what they are saying is true, SHAME on you Calum...SHAME. SHAME. SHAME.
It absolutely disgusts me to think that a person would do this to seek attention or for a larger YouTube following. This isn't a game. There are no checkpoints. You don't get a do-over.
For the sake of the LGBT community, the YouTube community, and his many followers, I hope he is telling the truth. But the more he speaks, the more I think this isn't going to happen.
What is your take on all of this? I want to hear from you.
First, The Abbey is a very popular place. If 3 people attacked him outside The Abbey, logic dictates that other people passing by would have immediately come to his aid. Also 3 people beating him up surely would have done more physical damage to him. I also find it very suspicious that the only people defending him are fellow youtubers. Things are not adding up at all.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment Anonymous. I think the same thing. His face doesn't even look swollen in his mugshot, to me at least. Doesn't he say that he was hit in the face? And he seems to have a very fuzzy memory about the events... Wouldn't it make more sense that he had more than the reported 2-3 drinks, and rather was a drunken sloppy mess when approaching these 3 people for... well, anonymous sex?
