When keeping it real goes REALLY wrong...

This must have been a deleted scene in Idiocracy or something.

I just can't believe people as stupid as this exist. Atleast they're killing eachother off one by one, huh?

From what I can see Mike was trying to defuse the situation. He should have gone to the police though.
showing up in a parking lot with your homies isnt exactly defusing the situation

It is if you're being apologetic the whole time. Who knows what threatening people on the phone that seems to have a lot of information about you are going to do if you avoid them.

Edit: Like I said, the kid should have gone to the police, but ignoring the calls and hoping everything would blow over like people here are recommending wouldn't have been a smart thing to do either.

Maybe because some people don't have time to read long boring story just to find out that some stupid teenager got shot? That's why you say at the beginning of the thread "This kid got shot over this girl if you want to find out more read this book."

It saddens me that this is seriously what the world has come to.

Yes, and everyone in the future should take into consideration your extreme time requirements. Stop bitching about an already implemented GAF law.

Sure the parking lot was well lit, but if Mike didn't want a fight, the extra two guys shouldn't have been contacted and it should have been handled in a populated secure area. Evidently bitch doesn't translate well into Armenian and this was the base for the anger.

or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Realize This Assgrab is Delicious
To sum it up:

Someone was insulted. This started a fight. Which escalated into a murder.

It's a pretty common story actually.

Also "keeping it real" has another name on the internet: Serious Business.

ive pinpointed the part precisely when things get truly retarded:



you killed someone over the word "bitch" you fucking dipshit?
The fact she called her brother to go kill Mike proves Mike was right about her being a bitch.

People should just read it or leave. It's actually a good (sad) story. Bolding portions of it won't give you the same impact. Reading it, actually gave me mental images of the whole thing.

Terrible.

The killer is still free so you guys calling her a bitch may want to edit your posts.
This attitude is freaking me out. I've already been banned once for being a sexist by mistake only to see someone making a thread about the offending material with no consequences.

kill that attitude man...

How fucking retarded.

No one wants to be direspected. Every asshole wants respect these days. Very few deserve it.
 
Dead giveaway with the Armenian guy taling to Mike on the phone :

"Don't you know who I am?" the caller barked. "You never heard of me?"

I don't get it. Why does "no one" know who the murderer was when clearly someone told the two strangers to go there? Maybe I'm just really tired and can't keep my eyes open. Will reread after a nap

There's really nothing funny about it.

He made a perfectly legitimate point about the objectification of women in pornography - but did it in the completely wrong place and in an obnoxious way, and then made the mistake of making his own topic on the subject too soon.

So now people who didn't understand or didn't like what he was arguing - or because of some other motivation that escapes me - make absurd comments about him on topics even tangentially related.

Seems like the brother, who called up 'Mike' and told him he wanted to fight, is the only one who knows the killer's true identity.



The bitch calls her bro and tells him to kick Mike's ass. Bro calls Mike and tells him he's gonna beat his ass. Mike shows up with a few guys. Bro shows up with mystery killer.

Mike gets shot, bro and killer flee the scene.

Bro leaves to Armenia where he's now safe.

Nobody knows the killer's identity.

Sister is a monster bitch who destroyed the lives of Mike's family, her own family (in that bro is never coming back to the US and they went thru a criminal trial), and Mike's friends.

Not to mention Mike himself.


She knew bro was a tough guy, that's why she called him and stated he'd beat Mike's ass. I'm sure the b*tch thought they were on some mafia level sh*t.

F*ck them all.

He was annoyingly oversensitive in a lot of other topics too, such as the Would You Be Comfortable With A Gay Roommate one.

The proof Mike had about the bitch was obviously this article about her having him killed for calling her a bitch and the mysterious murderer just a doctor closing a time loop.

No but really, how the fuck is the brother not up on charges? Since when is not telling the cops who your bro is that murdered someone not a crime?

I'm curious about where the brother is on all this as well, but I'd expect that more charges could be forthcoming. The driver escaped to Europe.

"Kat" is still up for conspiracy but her bail is only $30,000. Pretty lame.

Did you guys skim thru the article?


THE BROTHER FLED TO ARMENIA.

THE KILLER HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED.



The sister was the only one the DA could try and she got off.

God what Irony. This sucks. Such a waste. Makes me angry that people can get away with terrible events like this. Especially over dumb shit.

wowwww what a bitch.

*2 years later: "In other news, 20 members on the popular message board Neogaf have been murdered for calling someone a Bitch. They were just keeping it real"*

The first bolded part answers the second bold part and makes the third bolded part untrue.

Not entirely. The conspiracy charge was not dismissed.

Based on the article, I don't think it would be appropriate to charge the girl with murder anyway. Conspiracy to commit assault is what she did, not the murder. And I wouldn't do conspiracy for murder either, since there doesn't appear to be any evidence she knew how far her brother or cousin were going to go.

Yeah, I meant to stress the part about the bro and killer... since people were asking why hadn't he been charged and that he should know the killer... and that the killer had fled to Europe.


The sister part pissed me off to no end.

Well, he is also extremely quick to call anybody that disagrees with him a bigot. That certainly didn't engender any goodwill toward him either.

Also, he was quite condescending. When he was called out for derailing threads, he responded by saying that he wasn't derailing threads, but just felt the need to educate people because they were ignorant.

Oh he fled.

Well did Mike's friends see the killer?
They were there with him. Maybe a sketch will help.
 
Art Yepremyan is rarely without a cigarette these days. On a recent afternoon, he sat in the office of his flooring business, thumbing through old cards and photos. He pointed out a plaque Mike had given him, commemorating a star for which the teenager had paid to name after his father. Art says he steps out of his Granada Hills home some nights and looks up in the star's direction.

Sad story, though this is the only portion that made me seriously care. Really good ending to a "stupid kids being stupid" story.

Yeah, she probably won't get more than a couple years even if convicted.

Also, are you Armenian and is your tag some kind of reference to the less-than-friendly feelings between many Armenians and Turks?

I live and work a few blocks away from that Sears parking lot.

EDIT: Not enough usage of "bro"

EDIT2: Whoops. I thought the article said they went to the Sears in Glendale. That parking lot seems like a good place to throw down. Really dark.
 
Being a complete dumbass (everyone involved) = "keeping it real?"

The whole "proof" thing and "it sounds worse when you translate it" thing has me wondering though. Is there something about Kat that they didn't want people to know, and they thought this guy knew it? Nah, probably just people being dumbasses.
