Why did no one intervene? The reality is that the state disability framework requires cooperation from the individual, provided they have not been placed under conservatorship. In Larson's case, adult protective services and case managers repeatedly attempted to provide housing and mental healthcare. Every attempt was actively sabotaged by trolls.
Whenever Larson moved into a new assisted living facility, online antagonists tracked down the address, flooded the home's phone lines with bomb threats, and sent delivery orders that Larson could not pay for. Trolls pretending to be high-powered attorneys convinced Larson that his social workers were stealing his music royalties. Trusting his anonymous online "advisors" over real-world case managers, Larson fled safe facilities, choosing homelessness in exchange for what he believed was an impending music career.
This dynamic created a continuous loop of public disturbances. Larson would walk into high-end restaurants, order lavish multi-course meals, and announce to waiters that his "management company" would settle the tab upon departure. When restaurant staff called the police, Larson livestreamed his panic to tens of thousands of viewers. Viewers laughed and clipped his arrests, while the trolls who coordinated the dinner from behind keyboards remained completely anonymous.
