London terrorism suspect - poker player - Page 3 - Poker News

If he was going for the Dzhokhar Tsarnaev look he's got it down pretty good.

Wonder how long till Rolling Stone makes him a heart throb cover boy (or does he not qualify cause he failed to kill any kids?).

+1 Bit busy at moment so don't really have the time to post a comparison picture but the resemblance is uncanny.

Not sure if he was on tilt though because...

The teenager was an avid poker player and neighbours in London said he won £500 playing online the night before his arrest.

They then said to him "but how much did you lose" and events followed from there....

Before his arrest I heard he had been working on 'how to turn off your monitor' and 'how to double click' tutorials.

But seriously, I think the big question has to be how this kid would have worked on a supposed bomb without blowing himself up. I highly doubt he had the technical ability to put a bomb together even from a guide/cookbook or wtv.

It's not funny anymore. By chance the other day I gave a usb stick to someone, they loaded some music and gave it back. I put it in a an apple laptop which is new...I've never put usb in apple before as usually use PC. I put this stick, in loaded the music and then I yanked it back out. Standard.

....BUT THEN apple put an alert message box on my screen and it said something like, remove usb safely by ejecting so it doesn't damage drive. WTFFFF.

The kids a legit low key genius. I now know how to eject my drive safely from apple.

Thank you Damon. <3

Popularity not such a great measure of journalistic quality/reliability. The average Joe is a doofus.

Just been charged. I hate scares like this, especially in London which I love, but it's a massive relief when it's just some screwy british kid who picked up mad ideas on the internet rather than the usual suspects at it again.

What poker player can say they've never had a blow-up?

Then I feel guilty for feeling sorry for him, because after all I'm sure he'd have been happy to blow my kids to pieces.

He was awful at poker and posted a few poker videos of himself playing online which are hilarious if anyone can find them.

I'm just shocked you waited 4 1/2 year to make this first post.

Well played.

Watching his poker videos gave me cancer, AIDS and ebola all at once.

In case anyone missed it there is a new video of our Damon Smith shooting his gun, eerily similar starting to his "how to safely remove USB stick" work:

Yeah, you're right. Legit disturbing/psychopathic about it. But seems like it's just an airsoft/bb gun though, saw a small yellow pellet (even though he calls it a cartridge).

From watching that video and the state of the house I guess he doesn't have obsessive compulsive disorder.
