Do Not Argue On The Net

If you want to defame/slander anyone, do not do it to someone who can sue you, and also, most importantly, someone that won't kill you.

Arguments on Internet message boards are nothing new, and often are a central component. But in San Diego, California an argument turned deadly on 25 May 2005, resulting in two murders, and two other attempted homicides.

That is not the weird part. The online forum has since deleted the forum thread that caused the murder. A new thread is started to discuss the murder. And guess what, the murderer posted a message.

"That fucker had it coming to him. I can't tell you where I am, but I can tell you I love free wireless internet. I know some of you like those fools, but they were trying to front and I can't let that lie. If anyone sees my brother, let him know that band practice is cancelled."
