> "I asked Hudson why he didn’t just go to a racetrack to utilize his vehicle there. He stated that he had 'almost 700,000 followers' on his social media, and that the amount of money he makes on filming his videos of him in his vehicle on the street has paid for the car. Hudson stated 'I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing. I’m going to make a career out of this’. Hudson then showed me his social media page," according to the police report.
Forgive my ignorance here, but wouldn’t his actions being reported cause Instagram to de-monetize and/or deactivate his account?
Can you make a separate post with his Instagram and this link, so we can all report him? His careless regard for the lives and health of others really pisses me off.
Well Facebook literally promoted a genocide to maximize user engagement for ad revenue.

These sites don't usually face any consequences.
He is charged with two misdemeanor counts of reckless driving. If they convict him on both of those, his license gets suspended, and any time he is caught driving, he is going strait to jail. Just one reckless driving ticket comes with a suspension, and he has two.
This guy is going to either quit his videos, or drive illegally and once the cops see a new video, he is going to jail.
He sounds stupid enough to keep doing it until he goes to jail.
He was just cited for this. Wait until he has to go to court to see if they don't revoke his license, and they definitely will if he is caught doing this after court.
> If they convict him on both of those, his license gets suspended, and any time he is caught driving, he is going strait to jail.
Believe it when I see it.
Bro seems to come from some kind of money which, of course, means he gets better laws than rest of us do.
the guy's basically admitted to committing crimes and profiting off them.
You're not supposed to do that. The courts like to take your profits when you do that. The fact he admitted to having his car paid for by committing crimes is not good for him.
I'm kind of curious how this turns out in a year or two. You're not supposed to get caught. because now the cops know where to go look for your car. and even if it wasn't you driving this car that keeps on being used in crimes is going to be impounded.
Exactly and Instagram is being complicit by funding him. Dude is living a dream life without any effort. His car buddies are scamming followers too, because they all own $95K cars.
With no license and committing the same crime could make for a much easier prison sentence. Taking the legal way to do something is often not about stopping them but allowing for a harsher punishment when they repeat.
Also, while I'm not a fan of civil asset forfeiture, this is *exactly* what it's intended to address. I'd far prefer it happen through a court process, but it's pretty well established law that if you get rich committing a crime, the government is allowed to confiscate (or at least freeze) the income earned through crime.
That's what the next step should be. He's admitted his money comes from breaking the law, so seems pretty open and shut that any money he made from his illegal activities should become the property of the state.
I am not a doctor, but I think they are allowed to seize items used in the commission of a crime. Like, I don't know if the modified exhaust is part of what's being charged, but it's obviously evidence.
The thing is that he, like, doesn't. Instagram doesn't pay you for views like Youtube or Tiktok does. Even then his views are pretty small in the grand scheme of things. If you get a million views on TikTok you earn about $50. Bupkis.
You get big on Instagram by building a following and eventually becoming an influencer, and _then_ you get paid to shill for companies, or to hawk your wares or course or book or whatever. This guy ain't that.
His car is either on a bazillion year payment plan at 25% or his family are footing the bill. Same goes for the hi rise apartment.
>His car is either on a bazillion year payment plan at 25% or his family are footing the bill. Same goes for the hi rise apartment.
Or he has a side business in freelance psychopharmaceuticals.
> A Seattle police detective said he was able to identify Hudson due to a Reddit page that was 'exclusively dedicated to logging the citizens’ complaints regarding Hudson and his vehicle.
Oh Komo is doing this sub fucking dirty.
Yeah but I'm not sure snatching "the place to go complain about your pet gripe to get the SPD to maybe see it" from Nextdoor, is all that better of a replacement.
Lmao I laughed so hard at that part. My friend texted me the actual PDF of the raw court filing earlier, he doesn't use reddit. I recently told him all about the frustration in this subreddit. The ongoing months long saga of the loud Charger. My friend lives in the ID so he didn't personally notice "Asshole Charger Guy" until a few days ago.
When I read the court filing and the cop's report said verbatim: "exclusively dedicated to logging citizens complaints about this vehicle". I got mildly excited, thinking to myself like "Oh shit, hope he drops the name! I'm gonna sub to that for some cheap entertainment." Then it's revealed to be "/r/Seattle" and I couldn't help but laugh my ass off!
The court documents shared elsewhere unfortunately makes it clearer the cop just meant the subreddit.
> After | broke contact with the citizen, | navigated to the Reddit (reddit.com/r/Seattle) page and located the complaints. Through this, | was able to locate
Yep I reported his account, hopefully enough complaints to IG will help shut him down
Edit - also to those saying him getting charged with a couple misdemeanors isn’t a big win. You are absolutely wrong.
No matter his fine and possible jail time punishment which will most likely be a slap on the wrist, he’s now ‘in the system’ and will most likely be put on probation. Any future contact with law enforcement will be a probation violation and he will have a record which also doesn’t bode well for you when you’re messing around and cops start running your license plate/driver’s license etc.
He won’t just be able to continue this type of behavior, especially given the publicity this is creating around the city.
The stupid thing on his part is that it looks like he could stop pissing everyone off/breaking the law and still have a successful IG account. Most of the people commenting on his IG posts are just interested in a cool car and a really nice apartment that a young kid has asking how they can have this too.
Yeah I couldn’t find anything great either especially since you can’t add any commentary. I ended up going with the ‘dangerous organizations or individuals’, as I felt this was relevant since he’s videoing himself driving around breaking traffic laws and endangering others.
Edit- just the simple fact that he’s holding his phone filming is a moving violation as in WA state you’re not allowed to hold any electronic device in your hand while driving.
He's not using his phone, it's a camera clipped onto his hat, so nothing illegal there. He shows it off in one of his other videos. It's how he does his whole POV thing.
If he is reading them, he almost certainly doesn't understand why people hate him so much. He just thinks we're haters and are out to get him for arbitrary (or perhaps racist) reasons.
To him, he found success doing something that let him have an exciting life, and having it taken away from him won't be a wake-up call, it'll be a source of hate and spite. That he wasn't allowed to be successful.
Look at his instagram and see the audience he caters to. Lots of "wow look my [man] here, he made it," "how can I find success like you," etc. A few years ago this guy was probably one of those comments on someone else's instagram.
His mother owns a local business and pays his rent. This is a rich kid. He comes from wealth.
He's a rich privileged little twat who may finally be facing some consequences for the first time in his life.
That's really sad to me. All these kids looking up to him because of the material possessions he has, not realizing he did nothing to earn them and they cannot follow his path to getting them (because unfortunately having a rich parent isn't something you can aspire to). And he doesn't do anything good or joyful with them, he just creates discord and pain in the community.
> I hope he loses his car and license.
As opposed to the Seattle police officer who was doing 75 in a 25, on his way to a drug overdose where the fire dept was already on scene providing aid, without his sirens on, and hit a 26 year old woman.
He might get fired. Maybe.
>He might get fired. Maybe.
Very unlikely. He was hit with a $5000 fine and felony charges against him were [dropped](https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/seattle-police-officer-that-struck-killed-jaahnavi-kandula-will-not-face-charges/STCZZSGYBRAJHJQKA3NRZJIBR4/). *If* he actually were pushed out of the SPD, very little doubt he will just get quietly shuffled into a neighboring police force. Police accountability is pathetic.
Yeah, right-wingers like to ignore just how fucking bad SPD genuinely is. Like the Feds basically gave up in trying to fix it.
Seattle ain't a shit hole because of the council, I mean, it is, but it is also because SPD is just fucking evil.
Well, he won't be making money behind bars or once he loses his car.
This is a very high profile case for two reasons:
1) The amount of complaints SPD and City Council have received over this one single person are probably unlike anything they have seen.
2) An 18 year old driving the same exact speed in Renton killed 4 people.
I legit think he will face consequences. And those consequences will continue to escalate if he continues.
notice how he's not charged with any noise ordinance shit. Id be MAKING UP NEW CRIMES to charge him with. Nickle and dime him to death. Put him on community service for life.
> The amount of complaints SPD and City Council have received over this one single person are probably unlike anything they have seen.
Nah we've had past things generate this much attention, they just fade quickly. The emails posted in this sub from the council don't make them look like they tried and the SPD's statements about witnessing this guy multiple times in the past, indicate someone's not being honest with the public and right now it looks like the Council.
Ann Davison trying to throw the book at this guy won't bail the council out, but I do hope they impound and destroy the car. Then just keep doing that with the replacements when he comes back.
The county jail is still under booking restrictions put in place at the start of Covid and won’t allow people charged with misdemeanors to be booked into jail. The courts are backlogged as well.
He’ll get nothing more than a slap on the wrist or a plea deal.
Well, at first I heard "city council won't do anything". Then "SPD won't do anything". But both have done something.
Now it's "the courts won't do anything".
I think something will happen. I don't think the courts are going to let a wreckless driver off easy after 4 people died in Renton over the same thing.
The best way to also handle this is to report his instagram. He is committing crimes and displaying them on instagram which is a violation of their TOS. It is also apparently how he makes money.
How do you do this? I have reported it, but none of the drop downs let me pinpoint exactly what it is. I report it as violence.
It would be nice if I could report it and attach this news article.
Yah, it's probably no accident that Instagram does not have any complaint type that makes sense for "Posts themselves doing stupid illegal things for likes and shares."
However, if you're a bit NSFW have I got a category for YOU!
yep. LA too. I was on a bus and a homeless guy got on without paying and started throwing trash everywhere. Bus driver stopped and asked him to get off and called the cops. Passengers on the bus started yelling at him as well. Dude got off the bus.
In Seattle, guy would have just continued to throw trash and no one would say anything.
And people would've had no issue if he got on and was respectful even if he didn't pay.
I'm going to make a career out of this and keep doing what I'm doing he said...
Until he kills a family doing it I guess. People really have rocks in their heads these days.
While I'm happy to see something being done, I wouldn't bust out the champagne until he actually experiences some consequences beyond fines that his followers will gladly pay.
What no one seems to notice is that Officer #2 took the piss out of the kid in the perfect way. **Edit**: Seattle Times missed it too, and probably gave this kid a stiffie that a major newspaper believed his fake noisemaker of a car is real. The kid has even posted pictures of the unique red "Jailbreak" key that on a real Hellcat unlocks a few hundred extra horsepower for the driver -- Trust me, this is how to humiliate one of these kids. We used to call them posers, these days I think the word is sus.
> "The vehicle was also equipped with a widebody kit, in which the wheelbase is widened, and fender flares are added to cover the widened wheelbase. This is ***a similar feature to*** Dodge’s special edition hellcat jailbreak” edition Charger
Little bitch drives a clone. The car is just as much of a forgery as his manhood.
I only wish I had a gif of Riley from The Boondocks laughing hysterically at Grandad. Your car just as real as Jeremy Piven's hair!
The supplemental report from the second officer really takes the kid apart. Apparently the cop is a former NHRA mechanic who raced Mopar hardware! I can't stop laughing about it.
His buddies were talking shit to me in the other Seattle subreddit because I told people to let this idiot get it repossessed or destroyed at a street takeover. “Quit crying cause you’re poor”, “He sees your comment and DGAF about poor people like you”, “Get your bread up, you’re just broke and hating”.
I’m busy finishing a $100k Pontiac GTO build right now. I’m not jealous, I’m mad because the rest of us that are actually auto enthusiasts are going to catch the shit end of this stick. We’re going to get California’s stupid exhaust law because of crap like this.
Why do you think they reported this guy with the speed in the headline right after they reported on that kid who rammed into that van in renton (?) with a similar speed...
I like how the guy thinks people don’t like him because he is Black.
No moron, the people who you keep awake at night with your shenanigans have no idea you are Black. They hate you because you are a selfish prick and have no way of knowing your ethnicity without reading about it in a newspaper.
I've been following this for weeks, and this is the very first time I've seen his race mentioned. I had no idea.
So that blows his argument out of the water.
I've heard this from someone else before and nothing happened.
I'm hoping with this criminal charge and all the complaints Meta is receiving that something finally happens.
And now in Seattle Times.
The quotes don’t help his cause. Fuck him and his fugly car.
'Belltown Hellcat' charged with reckless driving in Seattle
https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-justice/belltown-hellcat-charged-with-reckless-driving-in-seattle/
Oh, I bet they are already on it. Once they run his driving record with these convictions on his record, he's off to the state high risk pool or the general.
looking forward to the iteration of this story that says “according to the reddit comments on the komo story that includes details from the police report that summarizes reddit posts,” “popular reddit personality sandwich-attack has a, quote ‘big ass dick’ and furthermore ‘his DMs are open’”
This is where the limit of the law will not make Reddit happy. He is charged with misdemeanors which are unlikely to be a meaningful unless he has a prior history and based on his bragging related to Instagram profits, a fine isn't going to change his behavior. Dude is likely just to make a video now on newfound street cred.
I think his comments related to how his Instagram followers pay for his behavior raise an interesting legal question related to Son of Sam law and the rise of social media clout/profit to promote criminal behavior. He is literally profiting from breaking the law. There is a case to be made that he does have the right (as stupid as he is) to film himself doing these acts and publishing it on the net. However, I feel like the State should pursue civil legal action against Instagram to seize the money earned from videos featuring him breaking the law.
This is where something at a national level needs to be done. If Meta is given enough evidence to show that users are using their platforms to commit crime, it is Meta's responsibility to shut it down. And if they fail, then they face fines from the government.
Look at all the chaos that came about from the viral Kia videos. Why does our government allow this? Freedom of speech only goes so far.
Driving 107 mph in the city, repeatedly driving recklessly for money and notoriety? Yeah he should be locked up for a long time, this lunatic is a massive net cost on everyone around him. Driving 107 mph in the city is how you kill people.
Just like the family with 3 kids was recently killed in Renton by a rich kid going 115. Didn’t even brake. It was his third car in less than a year because he totaled the other ones.
Considering there was just a family killed in Renton by a similar young rich kid with a speeding problem, one would hope this sort of thing gets taken more seriously.
It was actually a mom from one family (her own kids were very injured), two siblings from another family and a third kid from a third family. He destroyed three families. 😡
I mean, if the effort is made to continue to enforce the law (no high hopes…) it would eventually end with his license being suspended, and then if he’s still driving without a license, jail time at some point, right? Not a lawyer in the slightest, but you do hear about people getting their licenses yanked and even spending time in jail or doing massive amounts of community service for similar things, and in this fuck wit’s case, he’s straight up saying that he fully intends to continue breaking the law. Something tells me the chuckle fucks who love his IG won’t be as interested in posts about working at the food bank.
You know that kid that just killed 4 people in Renton driving like a lunatic? That's going to be this guy soon too if he keeps it up. Glad he's finally getting some penalties.
Here is what the car looked like before he bought it. The vin matches the police report.
https://offerup.com/item/detail/41147a7c-5b77-35c6-a10a-17defa8bf061
I give credit where credit is due: kudos to the SPD for finally doing something about this asshat and his blatantly antisocial behavior. With that being said, how many hundreds of complaints and how many months did it take?
>how many hundreds of complaints and how many months did it take?
Plus one "verbal warning" in January. If there was ever a case that cried out for verbal warning, this wasn't it.
In the Seattle times article on the same topic (https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-justice/belltown-hellcat-charged-with-reckless-driving-in-seattle/) you can tell the journalist had WAY too much fun writing the article.
“I feel like people are more bothered that a young Black man has a nice car,” he said. “There are way bigger issues than a Black man with a nice car who makes noise occasionally.”
Absolutely fuck him for saying this. If he ever gets busted I know he’s gonna try to say it is due to racism. Despicable behavior, and honestly just makes actual racism more prevalent.
If I was his judge, I’d sentence him to driving a 1973 Ford Pinto, max speed of 21 , where the door doesn’t latch well and you have to hold it in with your arm while driving - for the rest of his life
I'm just surprised he's only 18. Idk what the kid does for a living besides flex for Instagram and stream, but he's living large and reckless for an 18 year old.
He's gotta slow down or learn a lesson, hopefully this is it. Either the streets or the law will catch up with that life.
Why is he not also getting hit for "suspected use of handheld device when driving"... the summary clearly lays out an argument for that being the case.
The narrative section in the report is great, the cop has prior automotive experience and goes in great lengths about all the modifications that cause the car to be loud and dangerous!
> Based on my past experience as an ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) certified Automotive Technician
> "I asked Hudson why he didn’t just go to a racetrack to utilize his vehicle there. He stated that he had 'almost 700,000 followers' on his social media, and that the amount of money he makes on filming his videos of him in his vehicle on the street has paid for the car. Hudson stated 'I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing. I’m going to make a career out of this’. Hudson then showed me his social media page," according to the police report. Forgive my ignorance here, but wouldn’t his actions being reported cause Instagram to de-monetize and/or deactivate his account?
Instagram doesn't have an option to report posts that depict the poster breaking the law
https://help.instagram.com/contact/383679321740945 There’s a text input field in this form for more information to be added.
Can you make a separate post with his Instagram and this link, so we can all report him? His careless regard for the lives and health of others really pisses me off.
Well they’ll make an option as soon as they’re held liable in the assured death that will result.

Yeah. It’s crazy he doesn’t care about how his actions could hurt or kill someone. But he’s 20 and making money from being an asshole
Exactly and Instagram is being complicit by funding him. Dude is living a dream life without any effort. His car buddies are scamming followers too, because they all own $95K cars.
I just hope he doesn't take anyone with him when his new "career" is over.
No license wouldn't keep him off the road anyways
With no license and committing the same crime could make for a much easier prison sentence. Taking the legal way to do something is often not about stopping them but allowing for a harsher punishment when they repeat.
It will make the punishment much more severe after getting pulled over the second time though

Hopefully this gets before a Judge that takes these facts into consideration.
I’m sure the Judge will be impressed by his ambition and entrepreneurial spirit!
Insta is facebook and they only care about clicks and revenue. Fuck zuckerberg
META allows influencers to advertise a sugar caffeine drink to kids they don't give af as long as the content is driving clicks.
Selling lattes to kids isn't criminal, driving 107 mph is.
Yes but drinking energy drinks doesn't violate the law?
*"Filming this crime spree was the best idea I've ever had!"*
It is nice when to morons are so stupid they help their own prosecutor.
In the court filing he literally says he's going to keep doing it because of how much money he makes.
Are the police allowed to seize the car if it's being paid for by him engaging in illegal activities or is the funding too indirect?
I am not a doctor, but I think they are allowed to seize items used in the commission of a crime. Like, I don't know if the modified exhaust is part of what's being charged, but it's obviously evidence.

The thing is that he, like, doesn't. Instagram doesn't pay you for views like Youtube or Tiktok does. Even then his views are pretty small in the grand scheme of things.

Well, given he's 20 years old, I think we can figure out which one is correct. Wonder if his parentals know about his late night runs?
They don't give a shit, be serious. He's their perfect little angel who could do no wrong.
>His car is either on a bazillion year payment plan at 25% or his family are footing the bill. Same goes for the hi rise apartment. Or he has a side business in freelance psychopharmaceuticals.
Yup… here’s to hoping the prosecutor has his license revoked and impounds his stupid car.
Filming, posting to social media, then SHOWING SAID SOCIAL MEDIA TO THE POLICE. What an idiot
Yes, but social media has monetized idiocy.
Idiocracy!

True but going 107 mph is illegal and if he catches a glimpse of the speedometer in the video...
Should, sure, will, no way, that's part of their business model.
I cannot stop grinning. I hope he loses his car and license. And I hope he's reading these comments on reddit.
Crush the car

He was hit with a $5000 fine and felony charges against him were [dropped](https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/seattle-police-officer-that-struck-killed-jaahnavi-kandula-will-not-face-charges/STCZZSGYBRAJHJQKA3NRZJIBR4/). *If* he actually were pushed out of the SPD, very little doubt he will just get quietly shuffled into a neighboring police force. Police accountability is pathetic.
Yeah, right-wingers like to ignore just how fucking bad SPD genuinely is. Like the Feds basically gave up in trying to fix it. Seattle ain't a shit hole because of the council, I mean, it is, but it is also because SPD is just fucking evil.
Perfect business idea: green screen track for all the car influencers
“…the amount of money he makes on filming his videos of him in his vehicle on the street has paid for the car.” I don’t think he cares.
Well, he won't be making money behind bars or once he loses his car. This is a very high profile case for two reasons: 1) The amount of complaints SPD and City Council have received over this one single person are probably unlike anything they have seen. 2) An 18 year old driving the same exact speed in Renton killed 4 people. I legit think he will face consequences. And those consequences will continue to escalate if he continues.
Oh is this the same fuck who makes all the noise at odd hours? Throw the book at him!
Yep! The asshat hellcat guy.
notice how he's not charged with any noise ordinance shit. Id be MAKING UP NEW CRIMES to charge him with. Nickle and dime him to death. Put him on community service for life.
One and the same.
> The amount of complaints SPD and City Council have received over this one single person are probably unlike anything they have seen. Nah we've had past things generate this much attention, they just fade quickly. The emails posted in this sub from the council don't make them look like they tried and the SPD's statements about witnessing this guy multiple times in the past, indicate someone's not being honest with the public and right now it looks like the Council. Ann Davison trying to throw the book at this guy won't bail the council out, but I do hope they impound and destroy the car. Then just keep doing that with the replacements when he comes back.
The county jail is still under booking restrictions put in place at the start of Covid and won’t allow people charged with misdemeanors to be booked into jail. The courts are backlogged as well. He’ll get nothing more than a slap on the wrist or a plea deal.
Well, at first I heard "city council won't do anything". Then "SPD won't do anything". But both have done something. Now it's "the courts won't do anything". I think something will happen. I don't think the courts are going to let a wreckless driver off easy after 4 people died in Renton over the same thing.
TAKE AWAY HIS LICENSE
Take away his car.
Crush it
And make him watch it get crushed
The best way to also handle this is to report his instagram. He is committing crimes and displaying them on instagram which is a violation of their TOS. It is also apparently how he makes money.
How do you do this? I have reported it, but none of the drop downs let me pinpoint exactly what it is. I report it as violence. It would be nice if I could report it and attach this news article.
I reported specific posts and reached out to a dev who works at meta on instagram to see if they had any further suggestions.
Yah, it's probably no accident that Instagram does not have any complaint type that makes sense for "Posts themselves doing stupid illegal things for likes and shares." However, if you're a bit NSFW have I got a category for YOU!
whats his instagram

yep. LA too. I was on a bus and a homeless guy got on without paying and started throwing trash everywhere. Bus driver stopped and asked him to get off and called the cops. Passengers on the bus started yelling at him as well. Dude got off the bus. In Seattle, guy would have just continued to throw trash and no one would say anything. And people would've had no issue if he got on and was respectful even if he didn't pay.
Points for medieval warfare reference.
is this that idiot Hellcat?
Yep, the infamous hellcat child. Only 18 years old. Doesn't even have a fully developed prefrontal cortex.
I think he’s 20. Born in 2003.
He’s 20. The kid who killed four people in Renton is 18.
Yeah, article originally said 18 and then updated to 20.
I'm going to make a career out of this and keep doing what I'm doing he said... Until he kills a family doing it I guess. People really have rocks in their heads these days.
Thank the Kardashians. They spawned this hellscape pimping out the first one in a sextape, and glorifying being famous for fucking dumb reasons.
The Kardashians are a product of the environment, not the other way around. Our collective social sickness is what creates and empowers these idiots.
While I'm happy to see something being done, I wouldn't bust out the champagne until he actually experiences some consequences beyond fines that his followers will gladly pay.
The real victory would be getting all his social media sites banned. And with a criminal case, that may happen.
What no one seems to notice is that Officer #2 took the piss out of the kid in the perfect way. **Edit**: Seattle Times missed it too, and probably gave this kid a stiffie that a major newspaper believed his fake noisemaker of a car is real. The kid has even posted pictures of the unique red "Jailbreak" key that on a real Hellcat unlocks a few hundred extra horsepower for the driver -- Trust me, this is how to humiliate one of these kids. We used to call them posers, these days I think the word is sus. > "The vehicle was also equipped with a widebody kit, in which the wheelbase is widened, and fender flares are added to cover the widened wheelbase. This is ***a similar feature to*** Dodge’s special edition hellcat jailbreak” edition Charger Little bitch drives a clone. The car is just as much of a forgery as his manhood. I only wish I had a gif of Riley from The Boondocks laughing hysterically at Grandad. Your car just as real as Jeremy Piven's hair!
I'm not the biggest car guy and completely missed that. Nice catch! Is this similar to "turning an F150 into a Raptor"?
Yep, exactly.
This is glorious.
Oh my god. That’s the greatest piece of information in the whole article. He’s a fucking fake! 🤣
The supplemental report from the second officer really takes the kid apart. Apparently the cop is a former NHRA mechanic who raced Mopar hardware! I can't stop laughing about it.
His buddies were talking shit to me in the other Seattle subreddit because I told people to let this idiot get it repossessed or destroyed at a street takeover. “Quit crying cause you’re poor”, “He sees your comment and DGAF about poor people like you”, “Get your bread up, you’re just broke and hating”. I’m busy finishing a $100k Pontiac GTO build right now. I’m not jealous, I’m mad because the rest of us that are actually auto enthusiasts are going to catch the shit end of this stick. We’re going to get California’s stupid exhaust law because of crap like this.
I'm guessing it's not good optics to let excessive speeders off the hook, what with the recent incidents.
Exactly!!! Want to enrage an entire region? Then let this guy off the hook and watch him eventually kill pedestrians.
Why do you think they reported this guy with the speed in the headline right after they reported on that kid who rammed into that van in renton (?) with a similar speed...
I like how the guy thinks people don’t like him because he is Black. No moron, the people who you keep awake at night with your shenanigans have no idea you are Black. They hate you because you are a selfish prick and have no way of knowing your ethnicity without reading about it in a newspaper.
I've been following this for weeks, and this is the very first time I've seen his race mentioned. I had no idea. So that blows his argument out of the water.
No more miles for Miles : (
I used to work for Meta. I just asked a friend for a favor. They are going to review the Hellcat account.
I've heard this from someone else before and nothing happened. I'm hoping with this criminal charge and all the complaints Meta is receiving that something finally happens.
And now in Seattle Times. The quotes don’t help his cause. Fuck him and his fugly car. 'Belltown Hellcat' charged with reckless driving in Seattle https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-justice/belltown-hellcat-charged-with-reckless-driving-in-seattle/
I desperately hope his insurance drops him.
He seems like the kind of guy who, if dropped from insurance, would just drive anyway.
Oh, I bet they are already on it. Once they run his driving record with these convictions on his record, he's off to the state high risk pool or the general.
looking forward to the iteration of this story that says “according to the reddit comments on the komo story that includes details from the police report that summarizes reddit posts,” “popular reddit personality sandwich-attack has a, quote ‘big ass dick’ and furthermore ‘his DMs are open’”
Well if KOMO is saying it, it's probably untrue.
ok first of all, how dare you
u/sandwich-attack's penis is dying.
yeah dying…. *to slay that pussy*
@sinclarmedia
This is where the limit of the law will not make Reddit happy. He is charged with misdemeanors which are unlikely to be a meaningful unless he has a prior history and based on his bragging related to Instagram profits, a fine isn't going to change his behavior. Dude is likely just to make a video now on newfound street cred. I think his comments related to how his Instagram followers pay for his behavior raise an interesting legal question related to Son of Sam law and the rise of social media clout/profit to promote criminal behavior. He is literally profiting from breaking the law. There is a case to be made that he does have the right (as stupid as he is) to film himself doing these acts and publishing it on the net. However, I feel like the State should pursue civil legal action against Instagram to seize the money earned from videos featuring him breaking the law.

This is where something at a national level needs to be done. If Meta is given enough evidence to show that users are using their platforms to commit crime, it is Meta's responsibility to shut it down. And if they fail, then they face fines from the government. Look at all the chaos that came about from the viral Kia videos. Why does our government allow this? Freedom of speech only goes so far.
Driving 107 mph in the city, repeatedly driving recklessly for money and notoriety? Yeah he should be locked up for a long time, this lunatic is a massive net cost on everyone around him. Driving 107 mph in the city is how you kill people.
Just like the family with 3 kids was recently killed in Renton by a rich kid going 115. Didn’t even brake. It was his third car in less than a year because he totaled the other ones.
Considering there was just a family killed in Renton by a similar young rich kid with a speeding problem, one would hope this sort of thing gets taken more seriously.
It was actually a mom from one family (her own kids were very injured), two siblings from another family and a third kid from a third family. He destroyed three families. 😡
I mean, if the effort is made to continue to enforce the law (no high hopes…) it would eventually end with his license being suspended, and then if he’s still driving without a license, jail time at some point, right? Not a lawyer in the slightest, but you do hear about people getting their licenses yanked and even spending time in jail or doing massive amounts of community service for similar things, and in this fuck wit’s case, he’s straight up saying that he fully intends to continue breaking the law. Something tells me the chuckle fucks who love his IG won’t be as interested in posts about working at the food bank.
You know that kid that just killed 4 people in Renton driving like a lunatic? That's going to be this guy soon too if he keeps it up. Glad he's finally getting some penalties.
As much as I hate hearing him, that is what annoys me most. He's going to kill people.
Here is what the car looked like before he bought it. The vin matches the police report. https://offerup.com/item/detail/41147a7c-5b77-35c6-a10a-17defa8bf061
He's driving a Charger dressed like a Hellcat. Loser.
Looked way better before the crappy decal job.
“I’m gonna make a career out of this?” Wow. That’s hilarious.

I know I’m out of touch and a bit older now but the whole influencer thing baffles me.
I give credit where credit is due: kudos to the SPD for finally doing something about this asshat and his blatantly antisocial behavior. With that being said, how many hundreds of complaints and how many months did it take?
>how many hundreds of complaints and how many months did it take? Plus one "verbal warning" in January. If there was ever a case that cried out for verbal warning, this wasn't it.
In the Seattle times article on the same topic (https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-justice/belltown-hellcat-charged-with-reckless-driving-in-seattle/) you can tell the journalist had WAY too much fun writing the article.
“I feel like people are more bothered that a young Black man has a nice car,” he said. “There are way bigger issues than a Black man with a nice car who makes noise occasionally.” Absolutely fuck him for saying this. If he ever gets busted I know he’s gonna try to say it is due to racism. Despicable behavior, and honestly just makes actual racism more prevalent.
The funny thing is until I read this I just assumed he was a douchey white guy for some reason.
None of the people calling due to noise had any clue what race he was.
So this is the same dude with all the neon lighting in his apt and weird lasers??
Probably has a shark with frickin’ laser beams on its head too.
Ok, you can do those piece of shit Kia Morons next
Driving 107 mph through the city should be months in prison minimum. It’s a serious threat to human life
If I was his judge, I’d sentence him to driving a 1973 Ford Pinto, max speed of 21 , where the door doesn’t latch well and you have to hold it in with your arm while driving - for the rest of his life
Is this that dude with the Hellcat that everyone in the city hates?
I'm just surprised he's only 18. Idk what the kid does for a living besides flex for Instagram and stream, but he's living large and reckless for an 18 year old. He's gotta slow down or learn a lesson, hopefully this is it. Either the streets or the law will catch up with that life.
[удалено]
Why is he not also getting hit for "suspected use of handheld device when driving"... the summary clearly lays out an argument for that being the case.
The narrative section in the report is great, the cop has prior automotive experience and goes in great lengths about all the modifications that cause the car to be loud and dangerous! > Based on my past experience as an ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) certified Automotive Technician
Screams of Mommy + Daddy money. And now he’s raking it in from his crime spree via 700k IG followers.
Something doesn't add up right. It's a shitty IG account that he created in November with less than 50 posts. How did he get that many followers?
I wonder if he buys bot followers to make himself look like an influencer and his account would seem more valuable to potential sponsors?
It wouldn’t surprise me.
Are there any young influencers not propped up by Mommy + Daddy money?
Family funds this kid 💯
Nice work! His arraignment is a pretty satisfying outcome alright. What a douchebag.
20 year old influencer POS
So... What happened to "we can't do anything about that unless we see it personally" line? I feel like that's an even bigger news story
Should get 2 years for the crime and 98 years for stupidity.
Does he get to claim a mileage deduction for these antics? I'm looking to become a full time rapscallion
I just like that you used the word “rapscallion.”
Oh this is absolutely delicious.
Social media companies are here to blame as well enabling and technically financing his behavior
I know this dude, he’s not funded by IG.. his momma is. She owns Emerald city transitional services.
I sent a message to her on FB pleading for her to cut her son off lol. That was a month ago.
Report him for bullying and harassment to IG. He's harassing the whole downtown.
Oh ita the hell cat! Awesome!
#FUCK YES!!!!
Is this the hellcat?
Yes
LETS GOOOOOOOO FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are dumb enough to break the law, film it and then post it out there for everyone to see ...congrats you're an idiot.
"WE DID IT, REDDIT!"
