Guess it's update time then... yesterday morning Jacob got some more charming messages from Dred.

Dred again reveals that he does not understand the meaning of slander or defamation.

Wow, this guy can't just leave it at legal threats (oops, I mean "facts"), he has to "subtly" suggest I'll get beaten up by his FANmily. Shameful.

Jake then sent him a message bitching him out, and recieved this back:

Looks like I'm caught up in serious drama.

So is Sony aware of this incident, do they even care? I mean, Dredd is violating their copyright by using the PaRappa name and image... but it isn't like it's a copyright they're really using. Or does PaRappa's creator own the rights?
 
Oh, awesome, he's blatantly implying, wording it as if he's in a bad tv drama, that violence will come to you from his "crew" that he "can't control". That's crossed a serious line.

They should care that their former Parappa OVA is threatening people with violence in their name. The dude is no longer attached to the IP, you'd think he'd get a clue and move on with his life.

Not a very convincing reason why they should care at this point.

You've basically explained why they won't get involved. In fact, getting involved would just blow this out and make it worse for them.

If that's the case then, Dred Foxx has no legs to stand on.

No signs of a Parappa 3 so far, save for a March 2013 rumor confirmation by him, which I chalk up to horseshit.

Still, it's really gotten so sad that this guy has one thing he's holding onto so dearly.
 
This guy is genuinely mentally retarded. I think he might have real issues dealing with reality.

The thing is, he has no "crew". The guy is living in a fantasy land. He's fucking insane, and I want to reiterate that if a new PaRappa game ever happens we need to email Yoshida, Laydon etc and demand Foxx is not part of it.

I'm getting hilarious mental images of mouth-breathing Parappa cosplayers trying to threaten OP at a con or something, lol.

Oh, I understand that. The point is that he made the implication.

Tsk..tsk..tsk...YOU ARE A DEAD BOY...I tried to contain this situation..you fucked up bad. Im not gonna incriminate myself but...I got folks looking for you for slandering...this is serious Brooklyn shit..you're a dead man walking. Your blog didnt hurt me as much as people involved. I warned you before that Im a Bklyn Nigga who takes no shit from pussy ass punks..you'll probably get stabbed up repeatedly instead of shot (to obvious)for fucking up the Franchise. THIS IS NO THREAT..SERIOUS. I tried to convince my goons that you are a pitiful punk ass MOMMA'S BOY fucking with grown folk but THEY wanna teach you a lesson..you fucking with gangbangers..your time here is up..I feel sorry for your parents. YOU WERE WARNED. I got my legal team on it so I have all your info..unless you move..you loose. SO SERIOUS. I have a female "banger"near your town who said if she see you she's gonna slash your face with a boxcutter without warning so every time you look in the mirror you remember. ..BKLYN STYLE. Ya boy Jacob Collins is safe..he said he don't wanna fuck with you no more with your bullshit, so I made that clear to my peeps to leave him alone..did you remove the blog? Hope not..I got my legal team on it..since your under 21 little bitch boy your Parents got to pay or ........R.I.P Cameron Perry.

Now, this could just be someone pranking me, but it does seem to be his e-mail going off a quick Google search, and the whole message was accidentally written in the subject line which cut the last part off - he actually re-sent a second version that included the full thing. That kind of buffoonery makes me suspect it could actually be Dred writing it.

Either way... pretty messed up.

Tell him you got homies from the bronx, queens, brooklyn, manhatten and even that shitty borough nobody remembers (aka the NYPD).

I would highly advise stop posting about it in a public place and turn to the proper authorities at this point, OP.
 
That email reads kind of schizophrenic.

You should have it investigated and not bother with the public updates. Use small-claims court or move on or something.

Holy shit this guy is a clown.

Might as well end this now OP. Just give it your all.

Banger? LMAO. Dude looks like a joke. His reputation is already shot, more desperate attempts. He's got nothing left.

I've gotta do what?

I've gotta...stay 500 feet away from the plaintiff at all times or risk violating my restraining order.

Sad that this dude wants to invite this much trouble over $100...

Glad you called the police.
 
Now it's time to call the cops.

Yes, do it Camjo .

They have the means to see if he really did send those e-mails ( I mean, they can confirm it).
The whole thing is getting out of hand, the dude is literally crazy.

He is probably just spouting gibberish, but this type of threat has to be taken seriously.

I hope everything turns out well for you.
