"He's going to shoot somebody": Asmongold calls out Twitch over HasanAbi's gun threat
The Twitch streamer Hasan Piker aka HasanAbi has once again been scrutinized for a controversial livestream moment. A chat comment had threatened him, and the streamer reacted by swinging what he later said was a toy gun on-camera.
The incident has compounded the debate about Twitch's policies for moderation, especially for popular streamers, and has also drawn some harsh criticism from another creator, Asmongold.
From Chat Message to On-Stream Confrontation
The drama began during one of HasanAbi's livestreams, when a viewer purportedly wrote that Hasan and New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani should be 'hanged for treason.' In response, Hasan paused the stream and put up what he thought was the chatter's YouTube channel, aggressively calling them out in front of thousands of live viewers.
Stoking the moment's heat, Hasan then pulled out a prop gun and aimed it at the screen, taunting the firing and boldly exclaiming, "Wait, this is the guy?... F*k are you going to do, bro? Write a petition? Let's do a crusade, he says. Let's do a fking crusade, he says. Let's hang Hasan and Mamdani for treason, he says. The fk are you going to do?... You skinny b*ch."
Asmongold reacts: "Is Twitch going to do anything?"
Top streamer Asmongold didn't mince words in his response to the incident.

After seeing a clip from Hasan's stream, he was incredulous at the spectacle.
"That's crazy! To pull out a gun and be waving it around on stream. Wow! Wow, that's a lot! Do you think Twitch will do anything? Will Twitch do anything of Hasan going over and then talking about shooting somebody or implying that he's going to shoot somebody, is Twitch going to do anything? I really wonder, I've got a feeling... everybody know's the answer to that."
Asmongold's comments struck a nerve amid Twitch's community in general about whether the platform does indeed give its top streamers special treatment.
Twitch's Policy Enforcement in the Spotlight
Twitch's guidelines prohibit real guns on stream, but permit toy or prop guns in some situations. Enforcement has been notoriously uneven, particularly in high-profile instances. HasanAbi has not yet received any public discipline for this.
Should Hasan Be Banned?
This is not even close to being Hasan's first encounter with controversy. Famous for his heated commentary and uncensored style, the ex-Young Turks host has a CV full of divisive moments and sporadic platform suspensions.
Whether Twitch will act this time is yet to be seen, but the backlash, at least online, is already underway.

LL Cool J says he wont perform at Philadelphias July Fourth festival in support of workers strike
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Rapper LL Cool J and R&B singer Jazmine Sullivan say they will not perform at a Fourth of July festival in Philadelphia in support of a strike by nearly 10,000 city workers in Philadelphia. LL Cool J had been scheduled to appear at the Wawa Welcome America Festival on Friday, along with Sullivan and other performers. LL Cool J said in a video posted on social media that 'there's absolutely no way that I can perform, cross a picket line and pick up money when I know that people are out there fighting for a living wage.' 'I hope, I hope, I hope that, you know, the mayor and the city can make a deal. I hope it works out,' he said. LL Cool J also said that he never wants to disappoint his fans and that he plans to be in Philadelphia in case an agreement is reached. The festival comes as the strike moved into a fourth day Friday. Trash has been piling up in some areas, and more than 30 Medical Examiner's Office staffers have been ordered back to work because of a growing backlog of bodies in storage. Sullivan, a Philadelphia native and Grammy award-winning artist, said in a post on Instagram on Friday that she would stand with the striking workers 'until the city and the union find a way to bring fair living wages to our working class. I love my city and I believe in you,' she wrote. 'Hopefully we will get to celebrate when things are better.' The latest talks between the city and leaders of District Council 33 — the largest of four major unions representing city workers — ended late Wednesday. Both sides have said they were willing to continue negotiations. The union represents many of the city's blue-collar workers, from trash collectors to clerks to security guards. Police and firefighters are not on strike. The city has offered a three-year contract with annual raises of about 3%, which the union said amounts to little more than $1,000 after taxes for members making $46,000 a year on average. Mayor Cherelle Parker has said the city has 'put its best offer on the table.' She stressed that the effective 13% pay hike over her four-year term -- including last year's 5% bump – along with a fifth step on the pay scale would be the best contract the union has seen in decades. Parker responded to LL Cool J's statement, saying that she spoke with him on Thursday. "I respect his decision, and understand his desire to see the city unified," the mayor said. 'He is always welcome in Philadelphia.' The union also responded, saying LL Cool J's support for municipal workers 'highlights his commitment to social justice and community well-being.' 'His support not only brings attention to our efforts but also inspires others to recognize and advocate for the rights and respect of all workers,' the union said. 'It's heartening to see public figures using their influence to champion causes that matter to everyday people.' On Thursday, Common Pleas Court Judge Sierra Thomas-Street approved the city's request to have the medical examiner's office staffers return to work because bodies have been piling up there in storage, posing a health and safety risk. Those workers include death and forensic investigators, forensic technicians and clerks. The order came a day after the judge ordered some emergency service dispatchers and essential water department employees back to work. Mounting trash piles in some parts of the city were also still causing grief for residents and officials, who have strongly urged residents to follow the collection guidelines imposed when the strike began Tuesday. They also urged residents to report problems at the trash collection sites, and noted trash is being cleared as fast as possible and the city is working to open more sites.
