Crazy story about a poster on another forum I frequent
There's this other forum I go to sometimes called Forumopolis.
I haven't been there much since the election because, although I'm liberal, I guess I wasn't liberal enough for them (lol). Anyhow, there is a poster there who has quite a history. I first joined the forum after Clay showed it to me maybe 6-7 years ago. When I first showed up, the guy was an absolute prick to me for no reason. When I was losing weight he was telling me I was going to fail and whatnot. Just a mean guy. Anyhow, throughout the years he always asked for posters on the site to help him financially. Only once or twice publicly (one time he needed to get from Alaska to KC or Denver and couldn't afford food for his dog or gasoline). It turns out he borrowed thousands of dollars from people on the site through PM's and whatnot. Most people thought they were helping out a Military Vet (he was a military vet) who was having trouble finding a job/home. Later, he was diagnosed with cancer. He wrote an article on some surfing website about how he had 18 months to live. Everyone felt really bad for him. He set up a gofundme page to help pay for his cancer treatments. He asked for $10k and he got it and thensome. He disappeared for a little bit after that and then came this facebook post. Quote:
I was mostly worried about his dog and I found out that he hadn't had his dog in years and that his mom was taking care of it. That was good news. He actually ended up serving jail time for some crimes and came out and said he was turning his life around. He was always posting inspirational bullshit on facebook, but he always was just douchey about it. On Friday he started posting rants on facebook about how he was near the end of his rope. He got into a huge argument with his mom on facebook and said something along the line of "a half dozen lives hang in the balance" if she doesn't stop arguing with him. Later on it was found out that he took people hostage in Denver and was shot and killed by a Police Sniper. Pretty shocking shit. Thought you might like to hear that story. http://www.alaskastar.com/2017-03-06...r#.WL7_FkFOnqB http://www.9news.com/news/crime/man-...athy/124904937 |
Nice read
|
Guessing he was a Raiders fan
And yes that was interesting |
Really uplifting story.
|
HOLY SHIT
That was CRAZY. That was an insane story. Wow. |
****ing wild man. Dude was obviously sick, just not with cancer.
|
... home boy was a prick to you, yet you kept up with his FB posts?
|
Also sorta weird, he wrote that article saying that he had 18 months to live due to cancer (which turned out to be fake), and he died 20 months later.

Wasn't expecting that ending.
I had a similar situation. First real professional job out of college. Manager had some sort of cancer. Everyone knew. He was going to die. Got lot's of sympathy and leeway (frequent doctors visits). Got a huge bonus for his family for after he passed. CEO bought him a vid camera so he could record his limited time before he died. I mess up and went over his head (in his mind) on something and he fired me. One week later, he was busted faking the whole thing. Terminated! |
Sounds like a future episode of Criminal Minds to me.

I think we've got/had people that nuts on this site.

Man...
Makes me wonder how many people I've encountered online or in real life who pulls the same shit. I know someone who sets up gofundme accounts to visit his freaking Filipino girlfriends...at least he's honest about it, I guess... |
