ZDT THEATER – GOOD YEAR BLIMP – MEXICAN CANDEE – THE N-WORD
“Step in This Cell Right Here”
An April 6, 2026 Rumble livestream by Tony D’Amato, aka ZeroDarkTony focused on anticipation of an individual named Scott Hochstetter aka DOA, being incarcerated. Throughout the stream, ZeroDarkTony made repeated, graphic statements implying or wishing for violence—both physical and sexual—against Scott should he go to prison. These threats and humiliating jokes were accompanied by pointed language targeting Scott and explicit threats directed at named individuals, including Sandra and Griselda.
At least six gifted memberships, estimated at about $30, were given out by “THEWALL1980”, a likely “86GOP” alt, during the broadcast, and the host openly thanked supporters. Chat participants frequently commented during the broadcast, amplifying the hostile tone.
“I Hope Someone Pushes You… Into a Train Track”
The broadcast’s core narrative was ZeroDarkTony’s continued focus on Scott’s likely incarceration. Tony repeatedly speculated and joked about Scott being harmed, humiliated, or sexually assaulted if sent to prison. He also referenced sending dangerous items and mocked Scott and others with dehumanizing insults and violent language.
Besides the personalized and aggressive tone toward Scott, the ZeroDarkTony also directed disparaging remarks at other named individuals, including Sandra and Griselda, using phrases interpreted as wishing harm. Livestream chat participants contributed to and sometimes echoed the host’s rhetoric.
Exhibits
Exhibit A
This clip contains a sequence where the host, Tony, makes multiple allusions to Scott’s potential incarceration. The segment includes:
- Assertions that the target will be “beaten into the f***ing ground”
- Repeated references to exploitation and coercion
- A roleplayed scenario in which the target is confronted and dominated inside a prison cell
The language is not brief or incidental. It is sustained, detailed, and performed for the audience. ZDT constructs a scenario where the target is reduced to an object for abuse, reinforcing the idea that violence against him is expected and deserved.
Timestamps: 00:20:02 – 00:23:02
This moves beyond insult. The transcript shows normalization of violence through repetition and performance, turning physical and sexual harm into a central part of the content.
In this excerpt, Tony graphically outlines imagined physical and sexual violence Scott may experience if incarcerated. He refers to other incarcerated individuals as potential perpetrators and ridicules Scott’s appearance, using dehumanizing metaphors (“prison wallet”) and escalating the tone to open intimidation.
Exhibit B
In a separate segment, ZDT targets individuals by name:
- “I hope you get hit by a bus” (directed at Griselda)
- “I hope someone pushes you… into a train track” (directed at Sandra)
These statements are immediate and unambiguous. Unlike the prison segment, which is framed as a scenario, these are direct expressions of harm toward real individuals.
The same segment also includes slur usage and self-justification, where ZDT denies being racist while using explicit language targeting others.
Timestamps: 00:23:53 – 00:25:37
The transcript shows a clear pattern: ZeroDarkTony does not stop at insults. He builds content around violent scenarios, then reinforces it with direct statements wishing harm on others. The escalation is visible, sustained, and central to the stream itself.
