If you subscribe to the idea that everything happens for a reason then this stiff croaking the way he did….is interesting and you can speculate and make meanings up about it. Was this his karma? Is karma real? To me it’s just the herd being thinned out….

But what if you are part of that herd? I guess its only ok when others die right? And karma.. Its just a superstition. Unless you can explain why an innocent 5 year old can die of cancer while some greedy and worthless humans live a live of prosperity. To believe in karma you would have to believe life is fair. But clearly its not. Life is kind to some and cruel to others.

This is not a laughing matter, a wife and children lost a very special person in there lives. I knew this man and he was very nice and Harding working man for his family. Keep your negativity out of here or don’t say anything bad.

I’m curious to know how he got “Trapped” underneath a home out in compton?
Random Stranger says
A common way for this to happen is to go under the house to spray for bugs and underestimate the ventilation.
R.S.O. says
I used to know this person that lived in palmdale that “claimed” he worked in compton and “gained” street connects and homies that worked the under ground business. He all of the sudden thought he was a gangster and started acting like if he was from there. Too bad he didn’t get “stuck” under a house out there.
Alby says
He must have seen Straight Outta Compton recently and felt a calling to be gangster… Except Compton didn’t want him in.
