WHAT TO DO [WHEN SOMEONE HARASSES YOU ONLINE]

When most people think about trolls, they picture the creatures from fairytales that live under bridges taunting people as they pass by. And while these trolls are only fictional characters, there are some real-life trolls that behave just like them. In fact, these real-life trolls live in the shadows of cyberspace with the sole purpose of making people’s lives miserable.

I HAVE A NEW STALKER [ONE OF MANY]

Someone going by the alias of “michtypoo” with the IP address of “24.237.30.159” will not quit stalking me. This person claims I’ll be investigated, however, doesn’t say for what charges. They even go on to post links on these articles that either don’t work when you click them, or they don’t have anything incriminating on the page once you click through. I’ve deleted every comment simply because the comments are not constructive criticism, nor do they have anything substantial to contribute to the article, so why should I care if I delete it? Their comments are spammy, misleading, exposing personal info, or just flat out harassment.

Fake News is that Chance Trahan plagiarized Daymond John. Anyone who sees this and who has followed Chance on social media knows that this is an outright lie. The evidence looks compelling, but it is simply not true. We give them an E for effort, even though it’s still a sad attempt at libel. We here at ACAP understand your being desperate for a foothold on Chance, however, you should know when to hold em and when to fold em. And in this case, some of you might want to think about holding on for dear life, because, if you’ve been spreading these lies about Chance Trahan, because your reputation is most probably about to hit the crapper.

ALLEGED FATAL WRECK ON EGAN [BY FRED MEYER]

20190715_172258.jpg
It’s a beautiful day. I’m at work. Things are going great. It’s about that time and I’m heading outdoors. I drive toward Egan and without a second to lose– there’s a Fire and Rescue siren, but no car in sight. Then, suddenly the vehicle is visible and it’s passing me in the turning lane headed towards Downtown Juneau. I get to where I’m headed and I see the lights that passed me flashing on the other side of right where I’m parked. The grass made things too tall to see, so I went inside. When I came out, I took a better look and noticed that there was what appeared to be a car that had been flipped upside down.

I can’t believe what I’m seeing, but I’m a busy man– so I go about my business. I tell other people about what I had seen in order to warn them about anyone complaining about traffic later on in the day, only to learn that it was a female that wrecked and that no others were involved in the wreck. I also learned that a bus then parked itself in both lanes to block anyone from driving through in the double-lanes of Egan Southbound to DoJu in front of Fred Meyer. However, let’s just say that Fred Meyer has earned a reputation of its own around here, and it’s not a great one. Sure, they’ve got great prices. But what else do they got going on in there? Listen to the Sheriff Says Sup podcasts and you’ll see.

ROCK CLIMBING [IS THE DEVIL]

I’m just kidding, rock climbing is a dangerous sport just like any other. But after having two friends that died from rock climbing, I have to at least say this. But when a roommate dies, what do you do? The hardest part is moving on, but the most necessary thing for you to do is to move on. You’ve gotta keep pushing, you’ve gotta keep doing what you’ve gotta do to survive. I can’t believe my friend of one month, Bryson Allen, is never coming home again. He’s gone, and I guess that there’s nothing that I can do to change that. It’s hard to grieve over someone you only knew for a month, but there’s still an emptiness, a void…. That person’s never coming back. That’s something you’ve just got to get over, as harsh as that sounds. I’m not sure how to process the death of someone I hardly knew. It kind of hurts, but at the same time, I hardly knew him.
