The Daily Beast published a harrowing story today about Lane Davis, a 33-year-old Washington man who allegedly killed his father in July. Davis, who dropped out of Washington State University in 2004, maintained a YouTube channel where he pushed conspiracy theories about Sept. 11, GamerGate, the education system, and vaccines as well as "pro-Trump raps," the Daily Beast reported. Davis had also volunteered to work for alt-right troll Milo Yiannopoulos.

The Daily Beast's Brandy Zadrozny writes:

Lane had spent that Friday morning as he did most mornings, on the internet. This day, like the others, Lane read and retweeted posts celebrating the Second Amendment, bemoaning diversity, and spreading conspiracy theories that alleged Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta was involved in a child sex ring and DNC staffer Seth Rich had been murdered. It was the end of a busy week during which he contributed to the Donald Trump subreddit, and over on The Ralph Retort, a fringe blog where he worked as a political editor, (unpaid, according to the site’s owner), he had celebrated the idea of a Kid Rock Senate run, claimed America was under threat of Sharia law, and wondered whether CNN was “literally ISIS.”

A few hours later, the story goes, he got in a fight with his parents, whom he thought were "leftists," before allegedly stabbing his 73-year-old father to death. His trial is scheduled for January. You can read the whole sordid tale here.
