Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan (fka All Gas No Brakes)

Well fuck. I was hoping this dude was better than that. Especially as an aspiring reporter working in the social media medium. Kill your idols indeed.

he's put out a video response which I watched 10 seconds of it before closing it

nm just watched it

better than I expected which is not saying much because the bar was right above the earth's molten core

he asks if his victims would reach out for an apology - well the last time one of them reached out, you framed it as extortion, fuck you

I thought it was a good apology.

Seemed to take actual ownership which to me, is the only bar for a good apology and sadly is not hit by a lot of celebrities in these situations. If he does what he says he’s going to do re: 12 step, therapy, stepping away from public life, then it seems like he has himself on a good track to change.

I don’t know actually, some of the apology is a bit week. this all sucks

he also said "I"ve always taken no for an answer"

ffs this is the #1 thing on Reddit?

Deleting some crap I just tapped, ripping this apart. Fuck him. Yeah he said some of the good things he ought to, in the midst of loads of face saving, self-contradictory nonsense.

I honestly forgot all about this guy, but one of his videos about the border popped up in the margins of something else I was watching. I have no idea what ultimately came of the accusations or cancellation or rehabilitation, but it looks like he's doing some good work.
