Juslooking, assistant coach FrizzleFry has the full backing of the city and we are confident in his abilities to manage his team appropriately. Though it may appear to the untrained eye that he is struggling to control his crew, I assure you the rest of his roster really appears to be a good guy. In our inclusive, equality-focused, mug-positive Detroit, we welcome the advice of our associates from top to bottom, knowing that they could just as easily provide sound counsel as they could squat a concert piano without even warming up, or with anyone spotting for them, and they probably wouldn't even be tired or anything afterwards. A beefy-thighed gym-warrior knows no rank, because his peak physical condition is proof enough of his loyalty, commitment and dedication to our cause. 

My team would be nowhere without the likes of LadyBananaFace, the most potassium-rich all-star on the roster, or CancidRunt, whose 12th Street Public Toilets continue to delight, amaze and shock our populace as a whole. 

Juslooking I think we can all assure you there is nothing stealthy about the way JFMAST operates. The man is as loud as they come and we love the enthusiasm. 

You need those outspoken guys on the bench to draw the attention away from the razzle dazzle on the court sometimes. We can't have every Tom, Dick and Terrah trying to steal OUR moves. We got some of the hardest workers around here in Detroit and we're here to play ball.

Welp just need to make a fake WS and wack one of sunrises guys. I'll join his crew and someone can wack me so he gets executed ;)

Huh, you mean this 'stealthed shot'? From where I'm standing, it's starting to look like our associate - the bad guy, apparently - is being demonized for advising his crewleader to not recruit you - the good guy, apparently - a person who wants to stage a false flag event and kill innocent crewmembers of Sunrise in order to have our associate killed. That's bad basketball, partner. A bit desperate. I would say JFMAST's judgment was pretty spot on. 

After the dead man had just finished it's ill thought out speech, he ruffles through the pockets obtaining a measly ten dollars. 

I don't know who you think I am but I'm not who you mentioned. Seems like I got a 3 pointer though. Juslookin 1- JFMAST-0 

YOU LOSE

Assistant Coach FrizzleFry hears his name mentioned and decides to finally join the conversation.  He would have shown up earlier to speak but was busy and not because someone instructed him not to comment, of course.

So from what I can tell, Mr. Cantfindasuit had an issue with JFMAST.  I can't for the life of me even understand what either of them were arguing about but it was a dispute over money I guess.  Whatever.  The dispute clearly went south, and Cantfindasuit challenged JFMAST to a duel.  JFMAST declined, and from what I can gather, Cantfindasuit made a decision that this dispute was worth shooting him over.  Cantfindmeasuit was then swiftly killed for his actions.  I of course wish my member hadn't been killed, but I'd be lying if I didn't not only understand Cantfindmeasuit's decision, I respect it as well.

The man had a problem with somebody and handled his affairs as he saw fit, with a bullet.  He didn't start posting anonymous hits on the man's life (or unanonymous hits, depending on the level of stupidity you are operating on), he didn't go crying about being driven off any shores, he didn't make outlandish claims or exaggerate his outrage, he just took care of his business.  If I look at it from the outside looking in, I struggle to find a reason not to respect it.  And he of course paid with his life because of it.  And on and on This Thing of Ours Goes.

Then there's Juslooking, whose acts of baffoonery were just exposed for all to see and mock.  For a bloodline as treacherous as he claims the Fareham bloodline to be, he had to orchestrate an entire fictional scenario and involve multiple crewleaders, all of whom dismissed it as the ramblings of a person who sucks at basketball, to try and see the man killed.  If he was such a terrible person to have on my team, why not just wait until he did one of these dastardly deeds everyone is always talking about?  You could have had yourself quite the "I told you so" moment at my expense.  But there was nothing there, so he created something.

It makes me wonder how many of these coo coo tales I've been hearing are even real at all, or if its just more false flags and bad-faith acting from his detractors.  If your intentions were to leave a blemish on the Fareham name, your actions have only served to damage your cause.  You've been exposed.  Your fellow detractors now have to double their efforts to continue their witch hunt and probably are going to kick you out of the club for not being smart.  

But part of me appreciates what you did, JusLooking.  Prior to this, I was not familiar with Sunrise and had never spoken to the man.  But this incident has given the two of us an opportunity to meet and create a new connection, as well as share a few laughs while ridiculing your hideously flawed approach to tricking us. 

So as it turns out, there was a beautiful silver lining and happy ending to this saga after all.

Assistant Coach FrizzleFry shoots a basket.  All net, all day.

Well I guess this story had a happy ending after all. I didn't get any bodyguards, no, which I recall was actually the point of all this, so from that perspective you could say it was a total failure. And the 12th Street family has lost a third of their members, which is also kind of tragic. But from another perspective though, one where perhaps we indulge in a little triumphant fist-pump at the death of a loudmouth dork with more retired jerseys on his wall than mourners at his wake, then maybe it is a good day after all. Woohoo.

RIP to the fallen. 

My poor father, bit the bullet for doing what was right. 

He stood by his decision 'til the very end. Someone needed to rid this world of JFMAST and his cowardly exploits. 

The death of JFMAST has been referred to as the shooting of a sponsored member of a crew. My father saw it more as a form of vermin control. More in the way of laying a trap for a pesky rat that is gnawing away at your boot laces, than that of hunting a wild boar. 

Personally, the way I see it is completely different. JFMAST agreed to duel my father. My father offered a duel and the latest in the long line of cowards refused. The way I see it, my father continued with the duel that was agreed originally, only problem is JFMAST didn't hold his gun up too. The blame falls with JFMAST solely. 

I was and am a good-faith mourner, Juslooking. JFMAST will be....remembered. It is a terrible tragedy to see 12th Street nearly taken down in such a way. 

"Thanks John. It's amazing what a great group can accomplish if we just put aside our differences, work hard together on accomplishing goals, and most important leave Grin-22 out of the OC. I'd like to draw you attention to a heartfelt telegram I received shortly after our great success:
