4-Chan forgets about Shia La-what's-his-name
« on: March 27, 2018, 01:47:52 PM »
You may recall that a certain, troubled, young actor became obsessed with anti-Trump politics, and was subsequently chased across the U.S., and across the Atlantic, by Pepe-loving 4-Chanistas. Most of that story is linked from here:

When we last encountered our hero, he had moved his artistic visions from England to Finland. Encountering resistance even in these places, the HWNDU flag re-emerged on a web-cam, against a blank, white wall, of an empty room. From what I gather, this was back in England. The lack of news coverage tells you how relevant it was by then. 4-Chan immediately found the room, by observing the time of the sunset, locating a property owned by LaBeouf, in the indicated region, and then shining a powerful, flashing light into various windows. Or at least, that's how Internet Historian tells it. The fact that they did nothing but send pizzas to the site also tells us how bored 4-Chan was getting with it, by then.

Finally, LaBeouf gave up on secrecy, and announced the flag's new location. In Nantes, France, on top of some art gallery or something. Take that, Trump!

Some guy was arrested for trying to steal it, but there the story ends, so far as I can tell.

You have to give him credit for persistence ... albeit not for intelligence.
