Over the past few years, Peters has regularly drawn attention for a string of extremist and, at times, overtly racist acts on his livestreams, including the regular use of a racist slur and admitting to using illegal drugs, including meth, to maintain his appearance.
Earlier this week, the streamer made headlines for appearing to repeatedly shoot a dead alligator while in the Everglades, Fla., in the midst of a livestream.
After video of the livestream circulated online, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission wrote in a March 26 statement on X that it was “aware of a video depicting individuals in the Everglades on an airboat who appear to be discharging firearms at an alligator,” adding that officers were “looking into the incident,” but did not name Peters specifically.
