Slacker is going to prison for 5 years! This is NOT A Prank!
« on: August 28, 2008, 09:59:40 PM »
Hi I'm Slackers best friend Cypher.   We've known each other since we were in high school.    He is going to prison for pulling a gun on a hot dog vender while VERY drunk at a local bar.


His ex girlfriend recently took his kid legally away from him and he decided to get very very wasted.  He went to a party with a friend of ours after being on a drinking spree on everclear and other boose for awhile .  There he found a gun and 9 mags and went up town to this bar in springfield IL called "The Firehouse".  There he pulled a gun on the local hotdog guy that he knew.  They were both drunk and I guess got into an argument and he pulled a gun.   As soon as he pulled it everyone shouted "GUN" (this is a firemans bar mind you and cops are there too!)   So he pulls it and the whole bar jumps on him and holds him down till uniformed police gets there.  I'm not sure yet where they will take him and I will let you know when we have more information.

I'm The same Cypher on Skype for you PLA friends that chat with us on there sometimes...

Thanks for the update, I was kind of wondering why he wasn't around anymore.  He'll be missed here.  By me at least.  Maybe you can post his prison address on here and I'll send him some weird stuff that will make the prison guards eye him suspiciously.

Edit: changed my mind. prison does not help recovering addicts at all.

Ya know murd0c he really liked you.  Why be so mean?    What would you do if you had drank half a 5th of everclear and hand a gun?   I'm sure he had no idea wtf he was doing.  he blacks out sometimes and doesn't remember shit.



I doubt you will get a photo out of respect for him.   When he was clean and sober he was a real good guy.


He had a drinking problem and a drug problem.  He also had severe depression that has landed him in the mental ward a few times because he cut him self trying to kill him self.



I think he belongs in a metal institution for ppycotic evaluation and treatment.   He also needs to be on a life long plan for drug and alcohol abuse.


On another note.  The pranks...   Grow up - how old are you 12?     This type of behavior is part of what landed him in the situation in the first place!  My self and another best friend grew up got jobs and really got into life.  Yeah we have problems but we don't party all the time or act like little kids.   If he hadn't been playing all the time at age 26 he would of made a great IT person.

   People really need to think about this type of activity.   It's all fun and games till someone gets hurt.   If your over 19 years of age IMO you should be looking for a stable way to make a life and have some honest fun doing it.     I've been using computers since 1986 I've done a lot of dirty shitty things to people..  Hell you name it I've most likely done it.  The thing is..  It took me 14 years to learn the difference from right and wrong and  not to have indifference for peoples feelings.   Though I'm still a jerk I do now see where people are coming from.    I'm the guy that handed Slacker an old pc and a linux book.  He will for ever be missed....



Little side story:  



We had a lineman's hand set and I was about 20 years old and he was 17 or 18.    We were outside our friends girlfriends apartment running a phone line from the next door business and we look over and our friend is doing his girlfriend in the butt.  We can see it through the window.  Then we see him dip his stuff into a container of "I can't believe it's not butter" to use it for lube.  Our friend we sometimes refurred to as "bull" because he ran around naked at parties and well you guessed the other part i'm sure..    So he lubes up and gets busy she looks like she's going to die.  Well we decide we've had enough of watching that and laughing and get back to making our phone calls to Mexico and Australia.  Plus a few sex lines. 

   We go back in party all night and sleep.  The next morning this guy named Tony comes over..  We all hate tony because he's a big bum.   We watch him come in make him self at home and goto the fridge.  Well at the fridge he pulls out the I can't believe it's not butter and makes him self some toast.  We all start laughing and he has no idea whats going on so he keeps eatting his toast with the "butter" on it..  ;)    



My self and our other friend have dopped him as a friend but we will always remember the normal guy we hung out with!  RIP bro.   (I doubt he will live very long after this shit) If he makes it out I hope he betters his life and grows up!

Hi Cypher! Thanks for the update. I know I speak for more than just myself when I say I appreciate it. I hope you continue to keep us abreast on any new updates with his situation.

I know RBCP and Rogue won't be the only ones to miss him. He is a good guy and his presence has already been missed. Especially on IRC. :'( (We don't miss YOU anymore Lestan because you haven't been in so long.)

I would like to echo Rogue's echoing about posting his address. I want to do what I can to make it better for him.

Thanks again for the update,
jenn

Its more likely that the drug and alcohol abuse contributed to the lack of drive and prankdom...not the other way around.

Regardless, i will miss him.

As dumb and awful a thing as it is to pull a gun on some random guy in an argument, I still don't see the logic in so-called retributive justice. S1acker sounds like he has some major problems that he needs help with, it seems bullshit that so many such people get sent to straight to the can instead of a proper mental health facility (and not some bullshit Cuckoo's Nest type place either a real one). Sending people to jail never makes them better, often a whole lot worse.

I haven't been on IRC too much regularily (girlfriend, working nights) but if he still remembers me I'd be happy to mail stuff to hopefully take his mind off things for a bit anyway.

How much of his 5 year sentence is he likely to do?  Assuming he's a model prisoner, will they let him out after 3 or 4 years instead?  Hopefully the years of soberness will help him out a little.  Doesn't seem right to lock him up for that long when he didn't actually hurt anyone.  Has he been arrested before for anything?

S1acker was a fun person on the Skype conferences.  Now that he's gone I wish I'd spent more time on the conferences with him.  I hope he still loves the PLA when he gets out and visits the site.  Assuming I still love the PLA and have the site.
