Where does it say he is not a legitimate entrepeneur and that he isn't somehow supporting his 9 kids? Why is he sych a bad guy?
Seriously, I lookingfor reasons this guy may be a punk, other than the picture indicating he's black.
If that's the case, you should be able to find some legitimate news articles, talking about this amazing man who's got an astonishing business that supports the nine children his incredible wife has borne since she was 14.
You might Google for something in "Forbes," "Money," or "Investors' Business Daily."
Actually, this is so extreme that one almost thinks it's fake.
I would think that as well, except that other FReepers have found the gentleman's priors.
It's entirely possible someone used a real guy as the basis for a fake obit, though!
It just seems over the top to me, that they would be able to name all his children, first and last names, plus all his brothers and sisters, first and last names, and so on. It smells funny.
Are we sure he was a drug dealer?
"'Cause I'm the son-of-a-b!tch that named you Larmomdriel!"
Larmomdriel. I can't wrap my head around that. Sounds like the name of the Queen of the Crack Ho Elves. Xena, next Ren Faire you do, maybe you should use Larmomdriel as your elvish name.

Larmomdriel and Larmerja are the ones that sound *really* fake to me.
My dad was an enterpeneur who raised 5 kids, and I don't think there is a single article about him in any business magazine.
Your condemnation of the kid with no facts stinks of racism. I know you well enough from your posts on this forum to be surprised by this, too.
I'm afraid you're unwell, sir or madam.
Why, because of all the racist posts here? Hell, I'd jump in and condemn the kid if there were evidence he's a punk, but I won't rag on a dead man on the basis of a picture. That's 'unwell', and racist, and makes FR look like a bunch of racist kooks.
People are likely right, he may well be a punk, but i don't think it's right to make the assertion without any facts.
Dude, that's IT. Next season I'll be Ralla's welfare-queen elf cousin Larmomdriel.
Good grief, read #24.
Thank you. Yep, he's a punk.
Figures he died on Martin Luther King Avenue.
Truckers always know where to go get their drugs even if they are aren't familiar with the area, they just look for "MLK Boulevard" and they know they can score.
Why are you calling a 25-year-old man with 9 children a "kid"? If the situation even exists as presented ...
But to the point, your reaction to a piece that I personally suspect is a mock-up seems unreasonable, to me.
Given the facts posted in 24, yeah, he's a punk. The article linked in post 24 jives with the one posted, seems legit.
I think it's unreasonable to assume the guy was a punk without facts first.
I suggested that a 25-year-old legitimate businessman, so successful that he was supporting nine children, would be likely to have a business-news history. You said that was racist.
You may apologize, offering any excuse you like. (Not enough coffee is my favorite, followed by the ever-popular "howling 2-year-old defense.")
Cheers.
