We are idiots...

The cliff notes version:

Woman??/man?? kickboxer dude/dudess who is already on probation drives several hours (with a gun and weed in the car) with his or her internet fight buddies to do a challenge match in a parking lot agaisnt some skinny dude that was trash talking him/her on an internet MA site. Everybody talks trash back and forth for about 20 minutes.

Finally, instead of the skinny dude fighting the woman??/man?? kickboxer (the original challenge match), a bald, fat, cigarette-smoking white dude goes after a black dude in the woman??/man?? kickboxer’s entourage. The black dude takes him down, takes mount, gets out of a half-assed guillotine, and throws a few blows, stopping when the white dude tells him to stop.

Black dude gets up and walks away as white dude follows, hurling racial epithets at him the whole time. Racial tirade continues as woman??/man?? kickboxer and entourage gets back into car for long drive back home.

Watching this fiasco made me realize how the internet has the potential to turn what are just normal idiots into complete idiots (and I include myself in both groups).

It also made me realize I need to appologize for the many times I have been an idiot with my posts… especially to guys like James who are probably the least likely to act like idiots.

It brings out the worse in us, this is true.
But also the good stuff, you’ve had some great posts too.

The “Woman??/man??”: Kat Johnson, W.I.K.B.A. ranked amateur fighter, 3 time NAGA BJJ gold medalist. Uses the online pseudonym “AnnaTrocity”

“skinny dude”: Omar, long time bagua practitioner. I don’t know his last name. Uses the online pseudonyms “bailewen” (??),“Omar” & “omarthefish”

“Black dude” - Jordan Raynor, TKD blackbelt/BJJ bluebelt, amateur fighter. Uses the online pseudonyms “Osiris”, “The Villian”, & “Spider Baseball”

“bald, fat, cigarette-smoking white dude” : John “Jack” F. Springer, Southern Praying Mantis practitioner. Uses the online pseudonyms “JFS USA”, “JFS” & “JF Springer”

omarthefish ??? I take he h:cool:s been in jail a few times ?

“bald, fat, cigarette-smoking white dude” : John “Jack” F. Springer, [SIZE=“5”]Southern Praying Mantis[/SIZE] This says it all…

WTF is up with the fanny pack??? There are no fanny packs in street fighting!

This is not related to this thread, but you’ve got to see this… :eek:

If you go to youtube and put in the name “AnnaTrocity” for a search, you’ll find a link to a video of her and Omar. CLICK THE LINK.

Now you’re brought to the vid itself - but instead of clicking on the vid - click the vid to the right on a side bar that’s entitled:

“John F Kennedy’s bodyguards being told told to stay away from JFK.”

This truly seems to be a legit vid taken just a minute or two before the gunfire. That’s all I’m going to say for now. You’ve got to see this vid for yourself.

HOLY 5HIT !!!

ROFLOL! And this is exactly what I love about the internet! This is side-splitting fun. Or, as we call it here in St. Louis, a Saturday night at the local 7-11 lot. :wink:

That was one pathetic display from beginning to end, but especially at the end. Keeping in mind that we all vulnerable to flipping the idiot bit. And yes, we are all idiots. In situations like this there are no winners, just a bunch of losers.

It’s pretty clear to me that you are in a different league from those guys. Lets pull up this thread and video whenever we get a little too heated in our discussions - at least it can have a positive effect by serving as a bad example.

Peace,

Interesting fashion sense shown by several participants.

What an staggeringly horrible and moronic exhibition that was. Those people give trailer trash a bad name.

Well, if there is ANY argument against Steriod use, SHE is it!

Up until the GnP, that looked just like the armature dramas the community college film students put up on our local public access channel.

Only way late at night.

Dale,

my respects for publically sharing a moment of realizing one’s own bull$hit. That’s not always the easiest of things to do. In general, people need to stop taking this online garbage seriously, and generally grow the f_ck up.

Personally, I find this whole episode more than mildly disturbing. I train because I love to, and I’ll grant respect to anyone who trains any art with dedication and honesty. This whole clusterf_ck is disgraceful to all involved on so many levels that I can barely wrap my head around the insult to intelligence it presents (by intelligence, I mean sentience in general).

Aside from the the whole honesty/honor/keeping one’s word thing. . . BRINGING A F_CKIN’ GUN AND DOPE TO A GOD**** CRIME SCENE WHILE ON PROBABTION!!! That just offends me. It’s. . . . . sloppy. . . unprofessional. . . weak. Mentioning it on the internet afterwards. . . it just offends me as former juvenile (and occasional adult) deliquent.

P.S. The test levels are not normal on that woman. She really needs to use a less androgenic stack; her vocal cords are thickening.

The only thing stupider is allowing the admissions of criminal conduct to be videotaped and posted on Youtube.

You’re right about that “person”'s voice - that just ain’t natural. I’d see her lips move, but it sounded like some male offscreen’s voice. Alarming, like most of the stuff in that vid.

The word “loser” seems grossly inadequate.

All talk and no action …well till the end.

It is no wonder that people still feel the way they do about martial arts and martial artist.

Kat should have her/his title(s) taken away for just being there . Whether she fought or not is irrelevant.

She/he is a liabilty to the sport and has shown total disrespect and total disregard for what the sport/arts is all about.

As for the black guy he did a great job defending himself.

All the foul language shows the level of maturity and intelligence of all involved.

Btw…here’s the link to the JKF archival video. I was so shocked by it that I wasn’t even thinking straight about how to provide a link.
