April 6th Meltdown

The April 6th Meltdown was a significant meltdown that occurred on April 6, 2024 at 4pm MDT, during the Homeless Era. Daniel displayed an unusual level of anger during the meltdown, yelling in a deep masculine voice instead of his trademark "Mickey Mouse" voice seen in other meltdowns. The content of the meltdown included: minor self-harm, usage of the N-word, and threats of terrorism. The April 6th Meltdown is considered to be one of the more extreme meltdowns Daniel has had to date, and serves as one of the most poignant examples of Daniel’s debilitating mental health. Daniel livestreamed the entire chain of events to his Youtube channel.

Prelude

Leading up to the meltdown, Daniel was kicked out of a Buffalo Wild Wings. In a brief livestream, Daniel appears distressed and is running away from the restaurant. He insinuates that the police have been called, likely after an attempt to Dine-and-Dash. The original video on YouTube was titled "Daniel Larson just got his new job threatened by the manager at Buffalo wild wings 😡", but the "job" was fabricated by trolls, likely in an attempt to instigate an incident. He is notably panting at the end of the stream; about 40 minutes later the April 6th Meltdown would take place.

The Meltdown

The livestream begins with Daniel calling Bob the N-word and threatening to "bomb his house till the day he dies". He repeatedly yells "bomb", "kill", and "murder" to express his frustration with "Bob" and entities he believes to be persecuting him. Daniel frequently repeats phrases and hits himself during meltdowns, likely due to autism impacting his ability to process negative emotions. He further threatens to bomb "every police station in the world" and federal entities including the White House, the "Feds", and Daniel MacDougall. Daniel's mouth becomes coated in his own saliva, while displaying his trademark "angry tongue". He hits the ground and his groin repeatedly towards the end of the stream. It should be noted that the "Bob" involved in this incident was a troll that instigated the meltdown. Bob Proctor cut ties with Daniel in late 2023, after a second incident involving Daniel assaulting Bob in his car. The video was recorded in an extremely windy environment, where portions of Daniel's speech are obscured. The April 6th Meltdown took place almost a year to the day after Daniel was confronted in a bodega during the Travel Arc. The clip on the right is the first 30 seconds of the incident in which Daniel hits the ground and screeches twice before it syncs up with the longer video.
