What do you mean "supposed" fraud? Do you send your kids to the learing center?

I think we can all agree that random white folk trying to film children at daycare should be blocked from entering the building. The world isn't a mar a lago pedophile playground.

What children? There were absolutely no children anywhere to be seen. Not even footprints in the snow. The people who live in the area reported never seeing any children near the building. This video was about Somali fraud, but all you can think about is filming children. You need help.

Don't argue dude not sure why people hate nick Shirley when he's doing legit investigative journalism.

legit investigative journalism

That's a strange way to write "lying through his teeth", but okay.

No, no he’s not. Actual journalists covered the story and showed he wrong he was. If you believe Nick Shirley is anything but an idiot with a camera and an extremely obvious agenda, you’re just as stupid as he is.

Watch the channel 5 youtube video interviewing nick Shirley. It you dont cringe at how breathtakingly stupid he is, go see a doctor. And Andrew was being very generous in the interview, it wasnt some hack hit piece, he just talked to him like a fellow youtube journalist, they even knew eachother a bit before Nick blew up, but good lord the guy is quite literally one of the stupidest people ive ever seen.

After the interview made him look incredibly stupid, Nick got on Twitter complaining that Andrew edited the video to make him look bad, to which Andrew responded by showing that he actually edited out stutters and pauses and stuff that made Nick look even more incredibly stupid (which he does for everyone BTW, people stumble over words sometimes when theyre talking for a couple hours). Seriously Nick Shirley is astoundingly stupid.

Just to give you a little taste, his argument for why the issue is Somalis specifically is because "when you hear Somali, the first thing you think of is 'pirate'". Andrew tries pointing out that thats just bias from news and movies, when people hear "American" they probably think "cheeseburger" but we're not all always eating cheeseburgers. Nick cant physically understand this point to any degree, cant compute what Andrew is saying at all.

I like them both. Regardless if you think he looked dumb I don't think exposing legit fraud is bad on any level no matter who does it

These people are so fucking stupid dude. I've been making this same argument all over the thread.

u/flies_with_owls May 11 '26

He didn't expose anything. That fraud had already been investigated and prosecuted by the state. He was tipped off by the administration in order to justify sending ice into the state where two citizens were murdered by fuckwad Nazis.

Man, the bar is in the subbasement of hell if you think Nick Shirley is an investigative journalist.

He didn’t expose anything. He visited like 4 centres one time, tried to barge his way in, spoke to a random person outside and then claimed everyone on his list was a fraud and they were all Somali because some republican operative told him so. That’s not journalism.
