ZDT COFFEE HOUR HEAT WAVE, BILLY CLUB, SLOW TALKS [ZeroDarkTony] / October 7, 2026 / YouTube / nOzSFXpcBi4

Anthony R. D’Amato, Jr., also known as ZeroDarkTony, described during an October 7, 2026 YouTube livestream what he said he would do if an unnamed male subject approached him in person. D’Amato stated he would deploy pepper spray and call police. The stream, titled “ZDT Coffee Hour Heat Wave: Billy Club, Slow Talks,” drew chat messages from just 10 accounts over the course of the broadcast.

“The Only Fight He Would Have Would Be with His Own Face”

At roughly the 27-minute mark, D’Amato turned to a subject he identified only as someone who “talks about how he wants to fight everybody.” D’Amato described a hypothetical physical encounter and stated his intended response in specific terms. He framed the exchange as a rebuttal to what he characterized as the subject’s boastfulness, and concluded by dismissing the subject as “jealous that he’s ugly.”

The statement was made to a live audience and included an explicit description of a physical act followed by a stated intention to contact law enforcement.

Exhibit A

D’Amato describes what he says would happen if the unnamed subject came near him: “the only fight that would ever happen is him fighting to get some milk to get the pepper spray out of his face… i would douse him in pepper spray should he ever come near me and then i’m calling the police so there you go that’s what’s gonna happen.”

D’Amato conditions the described act on the subject coming near him physically, and immediately pairs it with a stated intention to call police. The clip does not name the subject, and the context in which the subject might “come near” D’Amato is not specified on stream. The stated sequence, pepper spray followed by a police call, is presented by D’Amato as a defensive scenario rather than an unprompted one.

The clip is preserved in the Evidence Room record and establishes on-stream what D’Amato stated he intended to do in a described physical encounter with this individual.
