RIPPER IS A GANGSTER!

I'm probably the last person on the Net to pick up on the horrific and sad Ripper meme. Ripper was the online moniker of 21-year-old Brandon Vedas, a tech support geek at the University of Phoenix in Arizona. On the evening of Jan. 12 Vedas logged onto an Internet Relay Chat channel called "#shroomery," turned on his Web cam, and proceeded to ingest a lethal dose of prescription drugs as the people in the chat room watched and talked to him.

Somebody saved the logs of Ripper's final chat session, during which the people on #shroomery debated whether to intervene when they realized Ripper was overdosing. You can view these logs yourself on the Brandon Carl Vedas Web site ( www.brandonvedas.com/internet.html ).

All of the articles I've read about Ripper's death have registered shocked disgust at the apathy of the people in the chat room with him. We hear how terrible it was that the denizens of #shroomery egged him on ( "Eat more you pussy!" one person taunted Ripper after he'd taken a huge number of pills ). But this behavior shouldn't be the point. It's not surprising; it's just part of the colloquial landscape of IRC.

Imagine, for a moment, what it was really like to be on that IRC channel when Ripper logged on. He's on his Web cam with a bag of pills that could be anything. They could be Pez or sugar capsules. He's trying hard to impress: "I got a grip of drugs," he announces. "Tune in. Watch." People start hassling him. They don't believe the drugs are genuine, or they think he's just playing when he tells them how many he's already taken. New people are jumping onto the channel all of the time, and they have no idea whether this Ripper guy is for real or not, that's why you get Grphish joking, "Ripper, if you puke? can i eat it? i'll get so high of [sic] that puke."

Meanwhile, Ripper is being tailed by a bot named Pnutbot, a program that pretends to be a person but is really just a chunk of code that tries to spit out semirelevant comments addressed to the #shroomery community. Pnutbot picks up phrases that other people are saying and then repeats them in a different context. Every time someone says, "Ripper," which begins to be quite frequent as the #shroomery folks get scared that he's ODing, Pnutbot shrieks, "Ripper is a gangster!!!"

In between frantic requests from Grphish that people try to find Ripper's real name and address or phone number, Pnutbot keeps surrealistically shouting "Ripper is a gangster!!!" over and over. Finally, Ripper begins to nod out. Grphish is trying to get somebody to call 911 or poison control. Eventually Ripper types his dying words: ----------- shoa I'm fukcin." Somebody named TheKat, who tells Grphish not to call 911, comments, "You will never know if he died unless he get [sic] back on here:' The worst part is that as Ripper wolfed down his "grip" of drugs, he told the group how to find his real address in case anything bad happened.

So why didn't Ripper's online pals call 911 when they knew he was dying? Two reasons: they didn't believe it was really happening, and they didn't trust the authorities. I think the latter problem is the more tragic of the two. Given the terrifying crackdowns on people who take recreational drugs in the United States, it's not surprising the #shroomery community was too scared to call 911 when its friend seemed to be ODing. Because it was taking place on the Internet, visible only via stuttering Web cam images, people couldn't physically intervene.

Sure, they should have overcome their fear and called 911 anyway. And Ripper shouldn't have been acting like he wanted to win a Darwin Award. But Ripper's death isn't about stupidity or apathy or "peer pressure." Rather, it underscores one of the most dangerous side effects of the war on drugs: people who need help won't get it. The people on #shroomery really did want to save Ripper. They just couldn't imagine that anything good would come of calling the authorities.

Now their anguish and indecision are written out for everyone to see Reading the logs, you can see clearly what happens when people live in so much terror of the authorities that they'd rather watch a friend die than call 911. Ripper wasn't just a victim of drugs. He was also a victim of the war on drugs.

I am not laughing

Unfortunately this is GFY and your post count means everything here. So you do not merit help. Stupid but it's a fact.

Even if it's a complete BS troll thread.
I would call just to be safe but I do not have access to a long distance line from my current location.

Hey, I'm the one that gets to do the singing here. BACK OFFF!!

this thread is classic. I am laughing hard at the responses. Hopefully it's a joke.

FUCK YOU ALL IDIOTS , BURN IN HELL
God will judge you

Thanks. I was just thinking I better call the boys in the white coats for this [BigV] dude, he's raising his letters at everyone and it's freaking me out bad.

LMAO

sorry, I got over excited

Hey, wait a minute there guy. You said you wanted the # for 911 (which I found for you, it's 911), not the looney bin! I'm sorry, I can't help you with that one.

Okay, I am starting to believe him. Maybe this guy really is in trouble. I can't understand though why he would come here with a brand new nick and start posting about an emergency

Hey dick wad, a box of valium WILL NOT HURT HIM!!! get it? all that will happen is he will have a good sleep, fuck chill out drama queen

Apology accepted. Maybe next time you can sing it with me?

cant sing yet we have 2 other rolls we have to fill! the dog and the cop that gets his ass kicked by gadget each time

yeah yeah.... heard that before. I'll deal with that after I'm dead. God don't want none o' dis. I'll pimp slap the halo off his ass.

In a freakout emergency like this, the looney bin truck can be accessed via 911 too.

They even have a cool siren and everything. :D

There's still the whole question to be answered.

Why come here, register and go through all of this when he could just contact one of his buddies on his buddy list and ask them to do it and/or go to a neighbor or payphone and call himself?

Dude get a clue...he spends 20 mins posting shit on gfy while he couldve gone to payphone or neighbours...its complete bullshit.

Havent you read the bible? God doesnt judge, and jesus loves all.

Really? Ok, in that case the number is 911. Just incase you forgot.

Amen!

so, is there anyone there that can get a live cam up on this? We need real time updates. Is he twitching and foaming at the mouth yet?

Thanks, I got them on the line now.


They're asking if there are any good donut shops between them and him.

If this person truly needs help...then ICQ me at 109--69--107. Give me all your personal info and the residence where you need an ambulance dispatched to and I will call my local law enforcement and get their help.

IF this is a joke...then fuck you. It's cruel and mean to post a joke such as this on a forum. If someone truly needs help, then I'll step up and do it.

An overdose of Valium CAN kill if a large enough dose is taken. I've worked too many years in the ER to start a dispute on this so if this is for real, then I'll help. Let's end this bullshit and drama here and now...I'm a ER RN and I am willing to help so contact me. If this is drama....then you'll be found out and exposed.
