[MDK]

Well, GoGo had better be or else *shakes fist*

[GoGo Yubari]

I was indeed talking to the other guy.

[MDK]

Then I forgive you, lets never fight again.

[Monkey D. Lars]

R.I.P. Proof

He was one of my favorites, well may this never happen again.

[therockbox]

I don't think there's much chance of him getting shot again.

[Guest N9Ne]

So... they gave a gun and a license to Proof, who I've heard rap about beating people up and pistol whipping and stuff... and wonder why something happens? >_>

all rappers rap about shit like that and nothing like this happenes...

[apsham]

Well, it's hard for me to pull at any sympathy after getting himself shot over a pool game. Good one Proof, I hope it was worth it.

NOBODY HAS SEX?!?!!! Now that's a weight off my shoulders. But not my balls.

The man allegedly shot by D12 rapper Proof died yesterday morning (April 17) at a Detroit hospital.

Keith Bender Jr., 35, died at St. John Hospital and Medical Center from a gunshot wound received during an altercation with the rapper inside the C.C.C. club on April 11.

According to police, eye witnesses said Proof, born Deshaun Holton, shot Bender in the head, after knocking him to the ground during an argument.

Bender's cousin Mario Etheridge, 28, returned fire and killed the rapper instantly with multiple shots to the head and body.

Lawyers for Proof have vigorously denied eye witness accounts that he fired first.

Etheridge pleaded not guilty Saturday (April 15) to two counts of carrying a concealed weapon and the discharge of a firearm in a building.

Etheridge claims he was acting in self-defense. He faces a maximum of five years in prison.

A preliminary hearing takes place April 26.

A viewing and funeral for Proof takes place today (April 18) and tomorrow (April 19) at the Fellowship Chapel in Detroit.

Then in that case the stupid cunt deserved it, he had a license to CARRY a gun though? does that mean he was allowed to carry it in the club? what a fucking idiot eitherway.

[Guest Ringmaster The Living Legend]

A license to carry guns gives you the right to carry a firearm in public, it should normally be the club's duty to check for weapons at the door if they don't want people to carry weapons into their place.

Its fucking retarted to kill each other over this though.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Yeah.

[Guest muddatrucker]

I can understand having a weapon in your house or in your car or something, but allowing someone to carry one of them is fucking retarded.

How anyone can feel sorry for him is beyond me, he shot a guy in the head with the intent to kill (since when was shooting someone in the head not to kill?) and the victims cousin pulled the gun and pumped the silly bastard full of lead, the police would of done the same.

Fuck Proof.

I pretty much agree with this, and I really don't think there'd be many RIP posts if he wasn't a member of D12. Well... obviously I suppose.

While I agree with the sentiments from Mudda, I think the RIP posts were more based on the "he was shot" aspect....in so far as I think very few people would be like "oh, he got shot, but lets wait to see if he shot first before we post condolences" with regards to the RIP posts. I posted RIP, but in hindsight he didn't deserve it.

[Lowerdeck]

Well, since news came out he started shit and pulled the gun first ... yea, fuck Proof. At first it was being made to look like some bouncer or someone just shot him, and that would suck. Lack of details led to all those RIPs, including mine.

What we now know.

[Johnny Latino Heat]

I... couldn't agree more, actually. I posted that "RIP" based on the fact that he got shot, but since it was him that started it... Fuck it. He had it coming.

[Tarheels.]

I'm with Latino Heat on this one, I posted RIP because I figured oh damn, he got shot. But now that I realize that he got shot because he shot a guy in the face....the nig deserved it then. You don't go around shooting people and not expect to get shot back, fucking retard.

[fineintent]

Great one, lets get really racist thats cool.

I posted RIP, and I stand by it because, regardless of how he died, he can't make music anymore and that's a shame.
