Being hunted in my own town
Added 2021-03-20 18:37:33 +0000 UTCI released a video recently about kylie's health teacher talking about the bible and denigrating LGBT people on class time, which is obviously illegal, so i reported it to FFRF and made some videos about it. Unfortunately, in the town of 3500 people, 1600 of them created a facebook page dedicated to doxing me, taking pictures of my house, threatening to burn it down, talking about driving by and unloading their AK-47's on me, and spreading mine and kylie's personal information around. there are scouting parties out in public waiting for me to go to the grocery store, or the bank, or anywhere they can get their hands on me. literally can't leave my house.
i'm leaving the state in 2 days, and then hopefully moving out of the state permanently in 2 weeks, so i just have to hide from christian ISIS for a little longer. so i appreciate you guys supporting me. couldnt do this without you guys. it is what's getting me and kylie through a hard time.

2021-03-25 22:59:06 +0000 UTCThis if anything reinforces why building awareness and organizations like the FFRF are SO important. FWIW, Kylie is an inspiration and a bit of a hero right now for my girls (9 and 13). We live in North Idaho, so another community with some more aggressive Christians in and out of school.... they are asking for me to make them " αF0 " stickers to put on their stuff as a reminder to stand up for themselves.

2021-03-23 16:36:46 +0000 UTCOmg that's horrible especially for Kiley. Christ people suck. Stay safe

2021-03-22 21:39:26 +0000 UTCWhat the hell, Owen. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised but I still am. the Bible is such an amazingly wonderful book that it encourages its adherents to attack other people for their private beliefs. Stunning. Best of luck to you and your daughter. We're here for you.

2021-03-22 16:44:39 +0000 UTCHave just joined as a patron, utterly shocked by what you and your daughter are going through. The land of the free? Seriously? Move over to the UK - we're majority atheist here :-)

2021-03-22 16:15:50 +0000 UTCOwen my heart goes out to you and yours and if WV isn’t safe there is a big city in Kentucky that would love to have you!!
Faith Mattingly
2021-03-22 09:50:39 +0000 UTCWhat a horrible situation. I’m glad you and Kylie are getting out safely. If NYC doesn’t work out we’d take you in Atlanta!

2021-03-22 06:38:50 +0000 UTCI’ve watched everything you’ve created on your main and most of your podcasts to this point. I’m a banged up Army Vet. I can’t wear the uniform any longer due to that; yet, I can for damn sure support your work which I completely view is critical to this country remaining somewhere I want my family and I to live. I’m deeply grateful for your efforts and hope you and your amazing Kiddo make it safely out of there ASAP. Much love and Respect.

2021-03-22 01:53:09 +0000 UTCIt will likely make it worse but I do hope you are documenting the hell out of all this behaviour and then pass it all over to national news media.

2021-03-21 18:33:16 +0000 UTCI am so sorry Owen! That is disgusting behavior by people who claim to worship a loving god. I hope you and your family can escape this vile hostility. Please stay safe! And keep us updated when you can. I'll increase my monthly Patreon amount in the meantime to do what I can to help you guys out. Much love from California! <3

2021-03-21 09:55:44 +0000 UTCWishing you all the best, Owen. Your channel is performing a much-needed service in defense of democracy and freedom from religion. I hope this criminal harassment doesn't deter you from continuing. There are many places in this country where you will be safe to express your opinions.

2021-03-21 06:03:31 +0000 UTCHere in Toronto -- where that shit would never in a million years happen -- saying you attend church is like admitting you couldn't pass grade 6 math. As soon as the borders open up, you should consider escaping Crazyville and discover a northern land devoid of guns & bibles.

2021-03-21 03:13:32 +0000 UTCOh man! Stay safe! These people are nuts, and there are so many just like them all over the country.

2021-03-21 01:44:35 +0000 UTCI was going to say that if you need a place in RI, you’re always welcome. But you’d be in NYC before then, so maybe not.

2021-03-21 01:11:27 +0000 UTCOh, geez. That's terrible. I hope you're able to stay safe and that the move goes OK.

2021-03-20 22:27:19 +0000 UTCi think i'm headed to new york city
Telltale Atheist
2021-03-20 22:26:00 +0000 UTCright. the sheriff and the city police are involved, and the FBI knows, but i dont know if the FBI is actually doing anything. nobody tells me anything
Telltale Atheist
2021-03-20 22:25:21 +0000 UTCI'm worried for you guys. I was afraid things might go like this but it's far worse than I expected. Stay safe as best you can and don't be ashamed to ask for help if you need it.
Katherine H
2021-03-20 22:21:52 +0000 UTCUnbelievable (well, I wish it was anyway). Please stay safe. Any plans where you'll end up?
Neil Ferman
2021-03-20 21:57:54 +0000 UTCHe said FBI is aware. He didn't say they were involved.

2021-03-20 19:05:41 +0000 UTCThis is nuts. Stay safe, Owen.
Aden Ng
2021-03-20 19:05:13 +0000 UTCPurely predictable. I hope you reported this to the police. FWIW, you should have some police report in the future in case you need it. Reading this made my heart leap into my throat. I'm quite worried. Are all three of you & the kitties leaving? Jesus, you also have thousands of dollars of equipment to worry about! Religious fanatics are a dangerous lot. Stay safe!
Iheart Dogs
2021-03-20 19:04:29 +0000 UTCthe FBI is aware already

2021-03-20 18:59:47 +0000 UTCNothing says moral highground like having a torch in one hand and a semiautomatic pitchfork in the other. I wish I lived close enough to help. West Oregon is nice, if you're not sure where to go.
Rob D
2021-03-20 18:52:23 +0000 UTCDamn. Can you report that group and the threats to the FBI or something? That is fucking serious. I'm in Texas; if there's anything I can do to help y'all get out safely, feel free to message me.

2021-03-20 18:39:36 +0000 UTCI’m near the border to VA and MD if you need to go somewhere. PS: That’s still in WV, but I live way out in the sticks, so there’s basically nobody here who would know.
