Vice Reporters and Film Crew Accused of Breaking Into Bedroom in Home of 8Chan Owner
Gateway Pundit ^ | 05/18/2019 | Cassandra Fairbanks

Vice correspondents Lani Levine and Elle Reeve have been accused of breaking into a bedroom in the Philippines home of 8Chan owner Jim Watkins with a camera crew.

The accusation was made by the verified 8Chan Twitter account, which said that the reporters and their crew entered Watkin’s bedroom before being ordered out of the property.

Reeve is best known for her work in the Charlottesville documentary for Vice News.

Earlier this month Vice published an article about 8Chan referring to it as the place where “racists get radicalized.”

“Sites like 8chan and others where racists can get radicalized online are key to counterterrorism efforts, experts say, but in a Wednesday hearing on domestic terrorism, U.S. intel officials from the FBI, DOJ and DHS seemed fairly unfamiliar with those platforms — or what to do about them,” the article read.

8Chan, much like 4Chan, is an anonymous imageboard that was the 3,857th most visited site in the world in 2018. It has gained more notoriety since the Christchurch shooting in March, as the shooter had posted a link to a livestream and his manifesto on the website. The Poway synagogue shooter had also posted a manifesto on one of the boards prior to his attack.

Vice has not yet responded to the allegations.

AFAIK Vice has 100% leftist ideology. Not even CNN breaks into somebody's house. CNN would camp out in your yard and try to provoke you to talk in your doorway.

In America, that's a good way to get shot.

The last time I was in the Philippines was late 1971. There were some locals who promised they could have almost anyone there killed for $50 U.S.

How did they leave unshot? It’s a textbook home invasion.

I bet I could make some locals disappear in the Philippines by paying them $50.

Frankly I’m surprised we weren’t target long ago. However there is an attempt here to keep things somewhat civil, not so much swearing although that has slipped in the last couple of years - but the need for swearing also has increased. I think one of the factors is people here for the most part not being mean/cruel and gross to each other. FR is a very interesting social media community

Let's not be too hasty to assign a nefarious motive to this 'encounter.'

Maybe the ladies just wanted to thank the baker?

Hi.

“Today 8chan, tomorrow FR”

Vice will do that only once to Jim’s house.

Then the end of Vice (reporters).

Hipsters...
Next to VJ, the most dangerous group of the New Crazy Left.
They truly think they are above the law and are morally justified to do anything they want.

Or finagle an invitation to watch while the FBI mounts a military assault on a 60-year-old man.

almost anyone there killed for $50 U.S.

According to a report I saw last month, but can't remember which channel or program, the assassin/killer market is flooded in the Philippines. You can get someone offed for $20 USD.

If only it hadn’t been already known and public knowledge, your “lolz” might have some humor behind it…..

Sadly, thats not the case /smdh

BTW, only 17 reasons to raid 8Chan…
