Conservative independent journalist Nick Shirley, the YouTuber who helped blow the lid off massive fraud involving Somali-run daycare facilities in Minneapolis, Minnesota and other states around the country, recently shared a video clip from his trip to New York where a man on the street who is associated with radical liberal NGOs threatened his life and called him both a racist and Islamophobe.
The video clip, which is now going viral on social media platform X, shows Shirley asking the man why he doesn’t like him. Throughout the footage, the man becomes more and more irate, cussing at Shirley and his team. Shirley asks the man to provide evidence that proves he’s a racist, and, of course, the man can’t cite a single video clip or instance to support his claim.
“What, do I got to pull up 90 clips of you?” the man yells at the fraud-exposer. He then grows angry and starts shouting loudly, on the street, that Shirley and his team are racists. The man tells Shirley and his crew to get out of New York and to return to wherever they come from, to which Shirley replies that he’s from America, making the point that he can go anywhere he wants.
“It’s really smart you have a f***ing bodyguard,” the man tells the YouTuber. “It’s really f***ing smart. There are crazy people like me who don’t like racists that would f***ing do something about it.” Shirley continues to challenge the man to pull up a single clip of him being racist, which only seems to make the man more angry.
Shirley then says he’s only trying to save taxpayers money, to which the man replies, “You don’t have to save us any money. There’s going to be things that fall through the cracks sometimes, but that’s not the way you frame it.” Shirley then asks the man how he helps society. The man replies by telling Shirley to go into any leftist organization and show them his picture and they’ll know who he is.
As he walks away, claiming he has a basketball game to participate in, he tells Shirley, “Someone is going to find you, I f****ing promise you.” The man apparently made a gesture as if shooting someone in the neck, a sick reference to the assassination of conservative icon and Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed in September 2025 by a radical transgender activist.
In a follow-up post on the video, Shirley wrote, “I hate that I even have to post this, I’d much rather keep it to myself and move on. But I think people need to see how truly violent, radicalized and evil these people in society have become. I hate that I have to travel with security but as you can see it is necessary, I love my security team they are great and have kept me safe many times.”

Someone in the comments allegedly identified the man as Thomas Sun, who has been consistently threatening social media user The Urban Warrior on Instagram, commenting, “Your views, your face, and your neck make you a prime candidate to get Kirk’ed.” Again, a sick and twisted reference about Kirk and his assassination that many conservatives say reveals how unhinged the left has become in recent years.
