Dlarstv Summary

Dlarstv also posted a summary of the incident to Reddit

"Okay so it all started when we walked to haagen daz, his last seen location. He was talking to a couple kids inside the store and we just watched. After a while the manager started asking why people were recording him and that’s when she was informed about daniel. I was outside of the store and when she tried to do it daniel refused and punched her in the face. He was then thrown out by mythbusters man and that’s when he started freaking out. He walked to the middle of the street and started screaming and saying he’s a celebrity and that’s why he got kicked out, which is when he called everyone the N word. After that he walked into an empty, what looked like w crystal store and walked to the back and kneeled down saying he needs the paramedics after his dangerous attack. He started hitting himself and throwing stuff in the store like the mirror. After he walked out of that store I was keeping my distance and he ran away into the abyss while still screaming and rambling. A couple homeless people also tried to fight him during it because he was freaking out. After a while I spotted him again and he seemed to calm down while talking to someone on the phone."

Calm Before the Storm

Daniel was being filmed by a couple of fans before being kicked out. In the first video uploaded by Reddit user "Adayapan" a fan asks for "John Summit" (the same man referenced in the Fake Security Incident) if Daniel has showered recently. Daniel continuously asks them to leave , stating that "the police are on their way" but the fans do not oblige.

In another video, uploaded again by "Adayapan", shows Daniel being filmed from outside the store when a store employee approaches and asks why they are filming him. At first he replies that they are security, but after being pressed for why again, he answers that he is a pedophile.

The Storm

Upon discovering Daniel's past, the female employee took it upon herself to try and kick him out. As reported by Dlarstv, Daniel responded by striking her in return. This prompted the male employee to step in, leading to the subsequent events being caught on video, which show Daniel being tossed forcefully out of the ice cream store.

After being kicked down the stairs, Daniels' meltdown got worse, eventually screaming the N word.

This eventually progresses to self harm.

And destruction of property

Daniel's Response

Early morning the next day Daniel posted a series of TikToks starting by denying the claim made by "Dlarstv" that he had hit the employee.

Daniel also claims that since the event took place on May 25th it has destroyed the memory of his grandmother who he claims was born on that day.

The next day Daniel uploaded his entire explanation for what happened.

So, this is why yesterday I said what I said in public. I raised my fist, and I knocked over those things in public inside the store. So those trolls that were videotaping me were trying to get me kicked out of the restaurant for something that I didn't do. They were asking me very, very inappropriate questions. They were also impersonating to be my security when I said I don't have security and I don't know their company, so they need to please leave. They refused to leave, and they basically started creating a scene to where other people in the location started watching. It caught the attention of the restaurant manager. The restaurant manager then got involved, went over, you can see it on video, went over to the trolls that were claiming they were, aka, security, which is not true, and asked them to leave me alone. They refused to leave me alone, and they said that I touched children. There's not proof of that. There's never been proof of that. It's all a lie. Okay? So what they did was they got on their phone. They showed this person, literally the subreddit, the Daniel Larson subreddit, this manager at this restaurant. The manager believed it, came back in, asked me to leave. When I said why, I didn't do anything, they said that I was a pedophile and that I touched children live, like publicly, to where everybody in the entire location could hear. Okay? At that point of time, there was about 10 cameras from people in the location, 10 cameras on me. I overheard one of the people from the other side of the restaurant say, "I have a gun on me". And that is what escalated everything. Okay? Because I don't mess around with threats like that. I don't. So I said, okay, I will leave. Okay? They basically got aggressive. You can't see it very clear, but when I was coming out of the restaurant door, pretty much the front door, when I was leaving, that guy that is in the picture, in the video, pushed me out the door. Okay? My backpack went flying. It fell on the ground. Okay? And I overheard, you can't really hear it on the video because it came from like the other end of the courtyard area, you know, the street. So you can't hear this person, but the same guy, I'm guessing that was inside, was once again outside, claimed he had a gun. And at that point I started escalating because it was like, you know, it was just a really bad situation that I was blackmailed to be in. I called the police. The police never showed up and they said no crime was committed. So what am I supposed to do if the police don't show up? If they're saying that there's no crime committed and yet I'm being completely blackmailed by these fans, these trolls, until I get permanently banned for life from these places. It's not okay. Story short, that's what happened. And I panicked and I felt like I had to defend myself. I'm a celebrity and people shouldn't come up to me and try to put hands on me 24-7. That's what security is for. You know, like I put up with too much and that's the hard truth right now is this needs to, people need to understand now what I'm going through and what I've been trying to say and what I've been trying to get heard that I've been getting called a liar about because it's not okay. So I hope this, all these Reddit trolls, everybody from past management, I hope they all get exposed and they get arrested. And I hope my court cases get lifted because it's ruined my life. It's ruined my friendship with my family and it's ruined so much of my life. It pisses me off.
