Jidion was arrested on stream earlier today. For context, Skeeter Jean, another predator catching YouTuber, has an uncle named Joe who was allegedly abusing his mother among other disturbing things. Joe was also illegally squatting in his mothers house. If you want to get a better understanding of that situation, go watch the videos that Skeeter Jean has made on it, it's very very complicated. But just so you guys know, I do not support Joe in anyway and I think he is a terrible person who should 100% face legal action for what he's done as well as get evicted from the house he’s illegally squatting at. Continuing on, Skeeter and Jidion came up with a plan to get him to leave by doing a live stream where they disturb Joe as much as possible in order to get him to leave. Another thing that's important to note is that Joe is a violent and dangerous person. Firstly, he physically assaulted his mother. Secondly, when Jidion and Skeeter were going around the neighborhood, it was revealed that Joe threw a rock and damaged the windshield of some fans. So please keep in mind that not only is he a violent person generally, he literally attacks people who go after him. After a while of staying at the house and going around the neighborhood, it became clear that Joe wasn't coming back for a while. Jidion then decided to go out and about town to try and find Joe to confront him. This is when the MANY problems began. While walking, Jidion recruited a few fans on E-bikes to help find Joe. The issue is that those fans were CLEARLY CHILDREN. They couldn't have been older than 13. I cannot emphasize how disgusting, reckless, and dangerous it is to have those little kids ride through roads and around town looking for this violent, dangerous, disheveled man. I will touch more on this later. Jidion then stops by a gas station where he recorded the customers and employees without their permission to a massive live audience and asked questions like "Do you know Joe the deadbeat?" He also had TTS on for donations. At one point he receives a super chat from a random individual saying that Joe is at McDonalds. This is when he instructs the aforementioned children to go check if he's there. This is yet another instance of him endangering these kids. I genuinely cannot fathom how you can in good conscience send kids to not just look for a violent criminal, but to go inside the same building as him to find him. It was already established that Joe will attack people recording/following him, he did it to a group of grown men with a car. Given that, WHY WOULD YOU SEND LITTLE KIDS INTO A RESTURAUNT TO FIND HIM?!?! What if, GOD forbid, he had a weapon? Or, what if he attacked them anyways because a grown man really doesn't need a weapon to hurt little kids? I mean I really can't put into words just how disgusting and dangerous it is to send those kids to find this violent man. Once Jidion arrives at the McDonald's, a police car pulls up and informs him that he and his crew are trespassed. Jidion responds by insulting and antagonizing the officer, before rallying up his fans to go inside the building to check if Joe is there. After 2 fans confirm he is, Jidion decides to give them the streaming equipment to go in there and confront him on his behalf. While doing this, the cop warns them that they will get arrested if they continue. Jidion responded by screaming at them to "shut the fuck up" and going through with his idea anyways. The police subsequently arrest both the fans and then Jidion for disorderly conduct. While getting arrested, Jidion threatens the cop with a lawsuit. Saying he is a "multi-millionaire" and is willing to take this "all the way." He was released a few hours later and is now planning a protest tomorrow, Tuesday, outside the cities police department. There is a laundry list of issues with this stream, I don't even know where to begin. Firstly, I want to say that McDonald's had very justifiable reasons to trespass Jidion, his crew, and his fans. Please keep in mind that it's a family establishment, so there were most likely even more children there as well as the other customers and employees. Let's say Jidion had his way and was let inside the store. Those families, customers, and employees never consented to be on camera, let alone streamed to over 15 thousand people. What if a fight broke out? This man is already violent and is being backed into a corner by a massive group of men with tons of cameras, I can't emphasize how dangerous that is. What if he had a gun? What if someone got hurt? What if the millions of fans harassed the employees for "protecting" Joe like they do with police departments? There were so many things that could've gone wrong. THANKFULLY, there were police officers to make sure that Jidion and his group never went in there. But what did Jidion do? Try and go inside anyways by sending his fans to do his dirty work. They absolutely deserved to be arrested. But the biggest issue of all is having those kids look for that man. Why? Like you're a "multi-millionaire" but you have children do your dirty work? He has PI's, he could've easily had a professional track Joe and avoid this whole fiasco. The question is, why didn't he? He's either utterly incompetent or is content farming, and honestly I don't know which it is at this point. It's very evident that Jidion is extremely egotistical. I don't know how the fuck you think your content is so important that it tramples the law and safety of multiple people. And the morons ready to break the law for him aren't helping. I'm not blaming the children involved, they're just kids. The responsibility lies on the INFLUENCIAL ADULT to make the correct choice. But instead, he took advantage of his platform and status and in turn endangered those children, potentially many more people, and got 3 people including himself arrested. And what did he do ALL this for? A squatter, or so he claims. But what did he really do it for? Content. It seems to me like Jidion is the same person he was when he was doing pranks, except now with a God complex. Thank you for taking the time to read this, a video will be up at 4pm EST covering the entire situation

the saddest thing is is that if you criticize jidion or any other predator catcher his fans automatically assume you're a predator. predator catchers are not immune to criticism, and i hate that people act like they are.

Watching Jidion completly fumble with multiple predators like Nova and whats her name (phibz?) I knew he was gonna wind up in trouble soon

I’ve had my own issues with Jidion’s vigilante antics for a while now. From what I’ve seen, Jidion typically shows up to an alleged predator’s property with a gang of around 3 grown ass men not including himself. I always found myself saying that one of these days Jidion or one of his little camera goons is going to end up seriously hurt or worse due to someone genuinely feeling like their own safety is at risk, predator or not. I’m not saying that these predators deserve protection, but more than anything NOBODY needs multiple unidentifiable men showing up on their property and harassing them or the rest of their family who is typically uninvolved or unaware of their activity. It’s all a recipe for disaster and I’m happy people now at least have a reason to start calling him on his shit. Jidion’s usage of real children as decoys has also really just rubbed me the wrong way, even since the EDP bust. More than anything he’s played a hand in exposing REAL children to actual grooming all so he can play the big strong hero who “busted a sicko”. The other issue I have with Jidion is how he constantly has to play the hero instead of gathering as much evidence as possible before sending it all to the proper authorities. Jidion has botched several cases where the authorities likely would have been able to get somebody convicted had he not sat there and messed with evidence or other areas of a case where he didn’t need to. Edit: In response to more recent comments, I’ve come to realize that Skeeter has done some pretty dodgy things as well that also just put people at risk for no particularly good reason. Some of these things do appear to be the exact same that Jidion does. I do apologize for my shallow knowledge on that end and thank you for informing me about it.

After Jidion started saying Phibz was completely innocent, I stopped listening to what he had to say

He’s very lucky that he got released without any charges, but also that he got brought in to begin with. Had the cops not arrested him this almost certainly would’ve gone so much worse than it did, from the sound of it just the idea of content completely blinded him to all the glaringly obvious issues in what he was doing, which is entirely deplorable

This is exactly the problem when it comes to Jidion handling these catches when he uses minors as decoys. Remember that time when I mentioned that he endangered a 15-year-old girl named Kayla Hoskins when he attempted to catch EDP445? Yeah, that failed MISERABLY, and he got away with it scot-free once again. Also Bludspeth, Kayla Hoskins made a video herself covering what Jidion did as her side of story shows he used her as a decoy in his Discord server to talk to EPD445 and not go to the police to file a report against him which was INCREDIBLY stupid and basically it gave EDP the advantage to groom her and he even sent death threats to her if she reported him to the cops. Jidion needs to seriously face Child Endangerment charges because he failed to do the one thing he was supposed to do: Catch the predator and get them arrested to protect the child, yet failed to do so on this one. Jidion's manager, Insyde, tried to manage the situation, but Jidion turned to religion to avoid accountability until the pressure subsided. Please check out Ploobius's videos on Jidion and the Kayla video as well; this is important. Give his new channel, HideousPloobius, support, since his original one was hacked. Final Edit: This case is still being investigated by the FBI since it was transferred to them due to the crime being committed across state lines, since EDP resides in Nevada. Also, PLEASE do not pressure Kayla for more information is because she doesn't want to say anything that could affect the investigation. Hope this helps.

The guy has always been stupid, but damn this takes the cake. I was really hoping people saw through his shit when he defended tibz. What a clown.

I knew the minute he refused to look into Nova and listened to him once and took his word. I thought him claiming he'd go to nova's house was weird.

I feel soooooo vindicated now because I could tell for the last couple years I could easily see Jidions ego was exponentially rising. He even beefed a bit with Chris Hansen because Hansen called jidion an “amateur” who doesn’t work with police. And of course jidion didn’t take it too well.
21
Jidion is a loser that doesn’t even care about the kids nor catching predators. He only cares about the content that gets him paid.
6
this is exactly why people didn’t want Jidion near a Nova investigation. When he first announced his investigation targeting Nova, i knew that he’d get Nova off scott-free by his negligence. But everyone would just assume you supported nova if you said that. So I stand vindicated.

Never forget that pred catchers main goals are content, not justice. Most pred catchers have rather sicophantic fan base that instantly believes that you are a pred if you criticize them. They also use the fact that the person they are after isa ored as an excuse to do whatever they want, which is usually not stopping the person or bringing them to justice but instead it's some form of performative revenge that doesn't actually fix anything. Pred catchers like Jideon and others use "protecting the children" as an excuse to commit terrible acts under the guise that "they deserve it " I think most pred catchers and many trolls towards preds remind me of a quote by Aldous Huxley: "The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats."

jidion is evidently a narcissist. I used to be a fan but I just can't watch his content anymore, especially after he defended that phibbz person

All these pred-catchers, although doing good things, are dumb-assess, non-respectfully. The way they go about things is very immature and dangerous. All it takes is one individual to pull a weapon on ‘em, or the cops. Now more people are hurt, or worse, over a made-up scenario.

😮‍💨 he finna go on an apology tour. The clout done went to his head

Jidion has always been a grifter. The worst part is this will no doubt end in a lot of smug posting from Chomova.

Incredibly well written on your part, and I 100% agree with you on the matter. Thanks for informing the people 🙏

I always had the idea he went into pred catching because it would get him views, not because it was genuinely necessary. Of the main pred catcher he was always the least careful when it came to setting up sting operations and protecting his decoys. Also found it really strange that he would recruit decoys via Discord.

He loves to preach abt protecting kids yet did nothing to protect the young fans he was endangering?? smh he needs to learn the consequences of what he does.

I used to like JiDion, I do think he had good intentions when he started, but little by little he’s gotten more of an ego and now it’s out of control. He also pulls the race card anytime someone disagrees with him, and he thinks he’s way smarter than he actually is. He’s not an idiot, but bro thinks he’s 180 iq when he’s not. The child thing being a clear example
1
Jidion seems like the type to pull out the race card whenever he starts getting justifiable pushback. He's still riding the high from the EDP days, he needs to be humbled.
107
He cleared phibz and when some 19 year old rightfully criticized jidion jidion made a community post "erm he called you braindead" when the guy did not just to get his fans to harass a 19 year old. Grow the fuck up dude, jidion is like 25 or 26. Stop sending fans to harass people. It sucks that he uses pred catching as a way to avoid all criticisms. Dude also likes to flash his money and shit a lot
He always seemed like the type who was willing to put everyone else in danger for a couple of views. He fumbled the bag when he caught EDP for a second time, and I like Skeet, but they say birds of a feather flock together… what does that say about Skeeter? If he’s spending so much time and working with Jidion, he’s likely a lot like Jidion…

I've been trying to tell ppl Jidion is an absolute clown who's only in it for the paycheck. Not the cause. If you do some digging you'll find he was a nuisance streamer along the likes of Jack Doherty and Johnny Somali. He'd go into businesses creating havoc for hard working ppl for cheap views. (This wasnt that long ago either.) And when that didn't pay enough, he tried "god grifting" and had a channel based around that. When that didn't pay out, he started doing catches. Which brings us to today. But anytime I've tried bringing this up I'd get met w/ braindead Gen-Z-ers/Gen-Alphas calling ME the clown. Lol. Ironic considering the person they choose to worship. And make no doubt about it, Skeeter is the same way. I mean, he literally ripped off Chris Hansen to the tee. No original thought of his own whatsoever. They both take these catches and make spectacles of them turning it into one big joke. It takes all the seriousness and weight out of it. I'm honestly glad Jidion is showing his true colors. I know there's still gonna be idiots that ride for him, but at least he'll lose a chunk of his audience. His ego is out of control. (And btw- He's def not worth millions of dollars. Lol) And just my opinion- But I think Jidion has some of his own skeletons in the closet. I don't have physical proof, but it's just a vibe I get from watching his past videos to now. Mark my words, something is going to come out about him eventually. Lastly, he didn't come up w/ the "I don't think you're a bad guy" phrase. I'm so tired of ppl crediting him for that. Alex came up with it. He just stole it bcuz that's what those ppl do best- Steal. Just like Skeeter.

I am glad you are covering this, Jidion needs to be held accountable for his actions. From the looks of it, Jidion took it way to far, for clicks and views
107
Jidion is a total clown, never understood people taking his predator catching seriously given how sloppy he is. Far too concerned with cheap content than he is doing anything correctly.
4
to be honest, i’m not surprised. i was always skeptical of jidion, just as i was with illuminaughti and creepshow art. there were more i was right about, but they fell into obscurity and i forgot about them. i hope skeet’s okay though

Im glad you'll even critique people you've worked with when they mess up

JidiChu lolcow arc?

Like I said a long time ago when everyone was wanting big bad Jidion to go after Nova...he is a dork. He doesnt care about anyone or their safety as long as it makes good content for him. Thats what made him rich. By exploitation. Just like everyone else who pretends to go after 'the bad guys', it's content above all else. Jidion is stupid and he isnt above the law just because he makes youtube videos pretending to be a bounty hunter. Glad he got arrested. I'm sure it'll happen again.

You know that feeling where you never liked a person but never had a real reason to justify it til now?
132
I really liked his predator catching content, but ever since he started streaming again a few months back, you could tell that the clout hungry side of him was re-surfacing, and he was doing more and more vids/streams for clicks. For me, I unsubbed after he posted a prank video harassing Home Depot employees, despite a few years ago claiming that he was done with prank content because it was horrible to mess with people. Its sad to see, but Jidion has become a hypocrite, the clout has gotten to his head

Huge Jidion fan, But this was all disgusting in every single way. And today he's showing zero accountability whatsoever?? This is all so weird man.
1
Jidion has always been off. Everyone flocks to his videos like literal cattle all because he "catches predators" yet nobody seems to realize ANYBODY can do that, WITHOUT A CAMERA. And to solve the issue of the violent squatter in the house? If the dude is in fact violent, arm yourself. He is in YOUR HOME, attacking YOU. That would be more than enough for self defense.
5
Personally, when everyone was getting their interviews in with Jidion regarding some Lolcow preds, he came across as very arrogant. It seems like he has a big ego and thinks highly of himself.. I hope something sticks to give him a bit of a humbling dose of reality. If he's a pred catcher, why on EARTH would he potentially endanger kids?! Seems like his intentions aren't aligned with protection, and instead is focused on content...

made a career out of protecting kids, ruins his whole career by endangering them. cant make this sht up man

Buddy also has a video saying incest should be legal. Even if it’s a joke that’s fucked up and no one wanted to comment on that for months 🤡

Jidion is a dumbass I respect him catching PDFs but this stunt is all on him facing consequences

Jideon’s been doing a lot of stupid crap like this recently and I wouldn’t be surprised if he managed to completely torpedo his career with these really awful reckless moves lately. He’s managed to bomb a few cases that he has done live recently and will most likely screw up some more if he doesn’t get how he acts in check. I’m not sure if y’all saw the stream from a couple of weeks ago where some preds mom dumped paint on Jideon’s car, but that entire stream and the way the catch was handled was a super clear sign that he needs to get how he acts with the catches in check as he is going to seriously endanger someone if he doesn’t stop playing around. The entire escalation with the paint dumping was partially his fault for riling the preds mom up by lying about recording to her and talking nice to her when she was present and in a conversation before escalating when she was walking away or inside the house while this was all happening. In the process one of the neighbors called the preds mom to ask about the situation which was one of the biggest tipping points for the situation that led to her dropping paint on the car, but I. The process when Jideon caught wind of the phone call, instead of staying calm and talking the situation out resorted to instantly shut talking the neighbor, calling her entire family predator defenders and threatened to walk over to her house for questioning while potentially doxing her and her and her kids in the process. In the end, after threatening some of her kids on camera, who walked over to defend their mom for calling, Jideon was shown to be in the wrong as the neighbor was just calling to see what’s going on as she was confused about the situation, and wasn’t doing so to protect the predator, which Jideon admitted fault for. While this all happened people were doxing their address in the chat and threatening to go after the family aswell, even after the situation was cleared up, which could have potential lasting consiquences in the future thanks to him escalating the situation to a level that wasn’t needed. In the end, the actual predator was not arrested as the entire situation I think screwed up any sort of case they had, and an innocent family was doxxed and potentially harassed because of his dumbass immediately jumping onto being aggressive towards a situation he knew nothing about. I don’t trust him with a Nova investigation at this point, and I suspect by the end of it all, he will most likely side with Nova despite the fact that Nova has direct ties to two of the most infamous child exploitation groups on the internet.
