On August 5th I was woken up by London police services
pointing an assault rifle in my face at my home.
I was told later that at 6AM that morning an email Impersonating
me was sent to every city councilor in the city of London Ontario
stating that I have an illegal firearm that I killed my mother and
that I planned to go to city hall and shoot every cis gender person I see.
>> That was a popular transgender twitch streamer by the name of kettles and
she was swatted by right wing bigots who have been targeting her and
she's now forced to uproot her life and move as a result.
Now I don't want to put words in her mouth.
I think it's important to hear from her.
So let's take a listen to another portion of this video.
>> I was shown the email while I was being interrogated in police custody.
Well, the emails were riddled with grammatical errors and
read more like something a troll would say than something I would sincerely say
the police took it seriously.
Not only that the email said my name was Clara Sorrenti, but
also stated what my dead name was.
It was an obvious attempt to make the police humiliate me during the arrest.
The police officer referred to me by my dead name.
I was booked in the station under my dead name.
The police when talking to my mother referred to me as her son.
This is despite the fact that I have run as both a member of parliament and
a member of provincial parliament under my name, Clara Sorrenti.
The fact that a fake email led to London police services booking me under my
dead name reveals the prejudice that many police have towards transgender people.
>> So let's discuss why Clara Sorrenti and
that that's her real name is being targeted.
It's because she uses her platform on twitch to fight for transgender rights.
In fact, she once raised $200,000 for transgender kid kids and
she has been targeted relentlessly by right wingers who hate her,
who hate watcher, who follow her every move on the internet.
She says when I came out as trans,
there were no high profile trans figures in the media at all.
I think it's important for
there to be high profile trans figures in the content creator world because that's
where young people are looking for news and information.
Now in the first half of 2021 state legislatures
introduced more than 100 bills to restrict transgender rights.
She says, I felt like I had to cover this stuff and talk about it.
She began following more journalists on social media and
commentating on articles and news events during her streams as she did.
Her following grew,
which meant that those wanting to target voices like hers grew as well.
Now she's never back down in the face of conflict, which is part of the reason
why the right wing hates her so much sovereignty has openly clash with destiny.
Another politics focused streamer who was recently banned from twitch and
Tim Pool a right wing YouTubeer.
Her attacks on popular conservative influencers including Candace Owens and
Lauren Southern as well as British author JK Rowling have brought
significant harassment her way as well as attention and followers.
She also has faced critiques from a handful of leftists, although so
I don't know what those critiques are to be completely honest.
And an endless barrage of bad faith attacks from internet trolls and
harassers.
She says, quote, I went from no one knowing who I was at all of
the worst people on the Internet, knowing who I am,
they document every single thing I do.
They hate watch every one of my streams.
It's made me feel quite alone.
And by the way, swatting is one of the worst and latest attacks that she's facing
and jake, You know, you've spoken out against swatting on the show before, but
refresh the audience on, on what swatting means.
>> So when people call the police and say that you're a threat and
they send a swat team which snipers that point weapons at your heads.
And in this case it wasn't a sniper, they just came into our house and
pointed a weapon at her head.
She complains about a number of things.
They're very legitimately so,
but the top on that list is putting a loaded gun to your head.
And and so that's a hell of a thing to do.
And remember, you know, with police, you make any slight quote unquote mistake,
you know, you, they tell you to put your hands up and your hands down,
you do one of them and they shoot you, right.
So that's a life and death situation right there.
And so that's a should be a very, very serious crime in this case.
She had already reported that she had been swatted multiple times to the police.
And they, her brother, she explained in the video asked her as the police,
hey, can you put us on a list of people who are getting swatted regularly?
And the cops laughed at them and they said, yeah, right, sure, yeah, whatever.
And then they get swatted and then they go ruin their lives.
The cops are still investigating them, they've seized their computers,
which they make their living from her and her and her partner.
And so are they gonna do as serious an investigation of the swatter?
That's the person they should really get.
You know, people on the left are constantly swatted and
she's being really brave by coming forward.
And she explains this might attract more attention.
That's why other people get swatted, don't talk about it, right?
Because it's there's no winning here because the right wing monsters have been
unleashed and the cops never do anything about it.
And and unfortunately it works.
And so by the way,
almost no one on the right wing ever gets to jump in except maybe tim Pool.
>> Yeah, Yeah, I had to.
Just to be fair, I think it's important because it's wrong regardless
of who the person being victimized with the swatting is right.
I might disagree with tIM Pool on a whole host of things, but
it is incredibly dangerous to do this.
You know, because you're right, jenks if,
if someone makes what is perceived by the authorities to be a provocative move,
if they don't comply with every single order perfectly,
that person who's been swatted could end up dead.
Okay, so we don't want that and no one should be doing it,
whether it's the left doing it right, doing it.
But you're right.
I mean, we have seen multiple cases of left wing content
creators being victimized by this.
>> Okay, so remember Jesse Smollett, It was like the biggest national controversy.
Why?
Because he wasted police resources by calling it a fake crime.
That's exactly what swatting is.
Yet the police go, you wasted all these cop resources and
endangers this person's life?
Well, I'll help you ruin their life and
I won't investigate the person doing it at all.
Now, how does that make any sense?
So she's very brave, God bless her for doing it.
And to look 90% of what, right, where you're saying are lies.
So that's why I say maybe tim Pool got swatted, but alright here,
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt he once got swatted while he was live on air.
Yeah, so fine.
Let's assume this is in the 10% where tim is not lying.
And it sounds credible, okay.
Of course that's terrible, of course it is.
No one on the left wing should do it.
No one on the right wing should do it.
But the left wing are generally speaking except for
apparently that clown are decent human beings who want us to get along the right
wing fake violence is the answer.
And wouldn't it be funny if they got murdered by the cops?
That'd be so funny.
>> Also when you get swatted, as was the case in this story,
the authorities come in and they take a bunch of your equipment,
your electronics and in the case of someone who's making their
living off of creating content streaming on twitch,
it is incredibly damaging to their livelihood.
And she actually talks about that in the next excerpt from her video.
So let's take a quick look at that and we'll talk about what she's asking for
in terms of help or assistance, let's watch.
>> They seized both my personal and
work phone as well as the work computer that I broadcast on twitch from.
Not only that, but the police seized my fiancee, cell phones and laptop as well
as their external drive which contained the only copy of their PhD thesis and
other important university documents because of the negligence of the police.
We were both left functionally unemployed and
I have spent thousands of dollars replacing our computers and cell phones.
So our lives aren't completely destroyed by what happened to us.
>> So she's asking for help because she feels that you know she needs help
with getting equipment to be able to do her job and earn a living.
She also needs help with a legal defense fund and she wants to move because she's
terrified she could have easily died as a result of authorities opening fire and
killing her.
So she has a go fund me.
Here it is Clara Sorrenti moving and legal fund and
she's already been able to raise some money.
But if you want to help out and show solidarity, you can go ahead and
contribute to this.
Go fund me account.
She also says though that they started tard getting the right wing started
targeting the go fund me.
She says my go fund me so I can move after being victimized by the police after I was
swatted got mass reported and my campaign funds are on hold.
People can still donate but
the amount of suffering people try to put me through is cruel.
I'm contacting gofundme right now.
>> [COUGH] Cops can you just once in your life do a do your job.
So somebody needs to get caught for this and and
they need to go to jail for a long, long time.
I know you'll never protect the left wing.
So can you find the guy who did the Temple one?
Okay.
Bachelor Liberal.
You'll love it.
Okay, give them 5 to 10 years.
Give one of these sons of bitches or two or eight of them a giant prison
centers because they're endangering people's lives.
They're trying to get them killed.
So you send a message out there, this isn't fun and games.
And at a minimum you're like Jussie Smollett and
we're gonna punish you severely for this.
>> The problem is where she lives in Ontario.
They don't have laws against swatting.
>> Well don't be an idiot.
Don't you have laws?
And I'm saying that to the cops, don't you have laws for reporting false crimes.
You don't have that law.
So we can just say, hey, you know the sheriff in that town or the law, local,
head of the police, he murdered his wife, go get him.
So what?
I'm just ha ha you don't have any laws.
Of course you have a law.
You can use that law.
You just don't want to do it instead.
Hey, you have a lot of laws where you're pressing her,
you've got a lot of time to oppress her.
You're helping the crime.
The cops are aiding and abetting by continuing this nonsense investigation.
Wake up and do something about it before somebody gets hurt
