Terry Davis Livestream During 2017 Vegas Shooting

Terry happened to be near the stadium where shooting was happening. He was seemingly deep in one of his episodes of schizophrenia at the time, and this clip practically plays out like a movie.

For those unfamiliar, Terry was an incredibly intelligent individual who was highly misunderstood and unfortunately only his unexpected passing in 2018 got his accomplishments enough traction to become an obscure internet legend, which is how he continues to live on. He was ridiculed and disliked during his latter years due to his harsh, unapologetic, unfiltered monologs, which many considered to be absurd and racist. He recorded/streamed dozens of hours of various day to day activities, collectively wrote "books" worth of blog posts, twitter posts and walls of text on hackernews and other forums. But what set him apart from any other hopeless schizophrenic with practically non existent social skills, is that over the course of several years, he developed his own operating system 100% from scratch, including the kernel and entire ecosystem. It was highly novel and impractical for much other than artistic concept, but the mere fact that he single handedly coded the entire thing is amazing.
