His video, which features the Scottish instructor striking numerous meditative poses in the woods, raked in over 50 million curious viewers after taking the Internet by storm in February.

The yogi received a threatening letter last week; an incident police are investigating as a hate crime.

Ominously, the note wasn’t send via snail mail: it was delivered directly to his doorstep.
Wilson wasted no time in reporting the letter to authorities.

“I came out of my flat at 6:30 in the morning to walk the dog,” he tells the BBC, “and there was a handwritten letter in a sealed envelope on the front step addressed to ‘the gay boy at number 45.’
“It said threatening stuff like ‘you need to watch yourself’ and they said they’d been watching my videos online and that they want me to get out. I don’t really know anyone in the building. My friends have been saying they didn’t realize this sort of thing still happened in this day and age.
“I was upset at first, but now I am furious, because someone’s aim is to intimidate me and terrorize me into leaving my home because of their own bigoted beliefs. The people who do this sort of thing need to know that their views are unacceptable and the majority of people won’t tolerate it.”

Scottish police are investigating the crime as a “threatening and abusive incident.”
“Police Scotland does not tolerate hate crime in any form and everyone has the right to live safely and without fear,” says a Tayside Division spokesperson.

He can come live in my building. It might spruce the place up a bit!

If his neighbours were supportive they could put a rainbow flag outside their doors. Then the perpetrator (if they live in the building) is either made apparent or force to display one too.

I can see why they left the letter on his doorstep. If they confronted him in person, he would probably whip their a$$es. It takes a great amount of strength to lift yourself up in that hand stand move!

With Qweerty’s revamp and tweaks, making it all shiny and BuzzFeed-y, we still can’t upvote a comment. Consider this that!

Sorry Queerty 😉

Disgusting to hear of these things still happening in this day and age.
Videos are very calming.
