Shooting incident with stalker

I believe the incident involving Boogie2988 with internet stalker/troll Frank Hassle, which went viral on the day it happened, deserves a mentioning, perhaps in the Controversy section.

The only acceptable source reporting on it is Vice's Motherboard, which isn't the greatest source for information on Wikipedia, but the overall reporting is accurate.

For those who are unaware, the incident is a drama between internet troll Frank Hassle (who doesn't have to be mentioned by name in the article as he's not relevant outside this situation) and Boogie in which Hassle drove to the former's home, demanded him to show himself and Boogie answered the door with a firearm and shot a warning shot. Boogie also uploaded a video on YouTube, discussing the confrontation. 2601:642:4100:820:E4A6:55F3:87BA:2F63 (talk) 10:37, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Boogie's hometown?

The article says "After Hassle had made his way down to Boogie's hometown in Abingdon, Virginia" but I thought that his hometown was Fayetteville Arkansas? LaceyUF (talk) 22:07, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

His hometown is St. Paul, Virginia as stated in the beginning of the page. Mrk1024 (talk) 19:13, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

Personally I think the Abingdon VA part should be removed as that isn't his hometown. Mrk1024 (talk) 19:16, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

I went ahead and removed it. I also removed the "unknowingly in a school zone" part since it was not mentioned in the sources linked. Orimono (talk) 05:52, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

The last citation links nowhere. Not even a proper URL. Remove and find a link that works. 2001:569:7BBA:3A00:C9E1:A421:FB34:4F66 (talk) 20:21, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Under ‘Personal life’ it claims Boogie2988 is an atheist while the source used to do so contradicts itself. It actually says, “Grew up Christian. Spent a long time atheist and nihilist. Became agnostic for a while and now consider myself a theist.

I believe in a God. Just don't think any religions know the right one.”

Likewise, there are videos of him adding in religious type sentiments such as ‘judge not yet ye be judged’ etc.

Also early on in the page it includes his bypass. But it does so at a point that does not flow well. During this it mentioned the date of the bypass but not the dates of the other events. It seems misleading because the next thing mentioned is that he graduates high school. As though the bypass happened before he graduated. It appears intentionally misleading. C.D.

As stated previously, under “Personal Life” it makes the claim Williams is an Atheist. The tweet it cites states, “Grew Up Christian. Spent a long time atheist and nihilist. Became agnostic for a while and now consider myself a theist.’

This does not provide proof he is an Atheist as it claims. In fact I could likely find resources that would prove the opposite. Within many of his tweets and videos he has made biblical references.

Perhaps there should be a section for his changing religious ideology. That or just a simple correction to the post as I stated previously. C.D. Shells (talk) 16:55, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Change "Steven Jay Williams" to "Steven Jason Williams" in all references to full name, due to it being his real name

I changed his middle name. I could source where I found it but that would doxx him. Not like his address isn't out there but I'm not adding fuel to that fire. Mrk74 (talk) 00:25, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Ex wife name correction

Boogie's ex wife's name should neither be corrected to Dez OR Desiree. Her name isn't "Desiree Dez" as it says in the article. Mrk1024 (talk) 19:19, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

• @Mrk1024: made it Desiree "Dez" to reflect Dez as the nickname and not a surname. --Engineerchange (talk) 19:24, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
