An incredible discussion has been taking place on Coppage's Facebook page. His "BM" (baby mama) apparently has control of the page, and posted a comment as follows:
Plz stop writing on my bd page don't no one no what's going on not even me please just pray for him.. !
This spurred an extensive discussion, including veiled and not-so-veiled accusations about who might be involved in the shooting, as follows, and GOOD LUCK translating:

JNS Blog says: I will attempt to get more relevant information as it comes my way. The shooting of Coppage represents the first homicide of 2014 for St. Paul. Arrested in the incident are Antonio Seals, 18, Derrick Anthony Parker, 21, and Alfonso Seals, Jr., 21.

ReplyDeleteI am sick and tired of one NV admin who apparently thinks it's just fine to take our time/money for all of her thug friends -- notice she never lifts a finger -- but refuses to allow comments that might suggest this might not be time/money well spent. I cannot believe that even you, JNS, refused to allow comments regarding her character. I think that makes you a thug-hugger!

ReplyDelete@Anon @ 7:40,
ReplyDeleteI know. Apparently it's not enough that these thugs have terrorized our neighborhood in life, she's going to make sure we pay for their funerals as well. No, thanks.
Fuck you frfr
DeleteDear anon(Dana Mahoney), I give my time and more money that most to every event or fundraiser that I am a part of. I make no exceptions if it's donating an expensive vase or bringing ice cream to a man with cancer or colleting money and taking the parent of a sick child shopping in the middle of the night. I don't discriminate on any of God's creations. I help everyone and lift more than a finger and you sit and throw petty, jealous, anonymous accusations on a blog. Clearly JNS IS posting comments about my character by allowing your drivel, that has nothing to do with the post, yet again. That hurts me. You anon, are a non factor. Dana
ReplyDeleteI don't get anons comment,the shooter is a WOMEN who took money? I heard it was a gang initiation.
ReplyDeleteI'm a 58 year old woman & I've decided to go around North Minneapolis with my pants down below my ass to try to show these idiots how ridiculous they look.Lets see if they want to see my underwear.
ReplyDeleteThis is about NV or a murder. Shame on you attaching these criminals to a postive member in the Northsidecommunity.Her
ReplyDeletework with the reentry program has kept thugs off the streets. So back to the topic,Does anyone know why this person was shot and was it a robbery? That would be good info to know.
In regard to why he was shot, the picture that I'm drawing from Facebook commentary is this was some kind of interpersonal conflict or dispute between parties who knew each other. It was not a robbery.
ReplyDeleteWrong!
DeleteThe confusing comment in question is actually about a controversy that took place on the North Vent Facebook forum regarding the topic of the Devonte Coppage murder. A woman named Dana Fisher was urging the collection of money to pay for Coppage's funeral. I didn't exactly see the sense in that and there was a discussion. It is Dana Fisher who works with the reentry program mentioned in the comment.
ReplyDeleteEven knowing THAT, the comment is garbled and confusing. I can't even tell who the comment is criticizing. Decent writers should be aware of whether they are assuming any information or context in the mind of the reader when they make their comments.
Shed no tears for this dead piece of shit. He is getting his booty stretched in thug hell where he belongs. I hope 100 more fools just like him get iced, SOON. Fuck Devonte Coppage.
ReplyDeleteNo fuck u bitch..karma is a bitch and god don't like ugly bitCH ..this is someone's SON U PATHETIC PIECE OF SHIT
DeleteI strongly suspect the "fuck Devonte Coppage" and "booty stretching" remark is the work of trolls who haunt this blog and only wish to stir up trouble, one of which is a guy named Jim Watkins who lives in Texas. I have published the remark but I do not endorse its content. Though I am critical of Coppage I do not wish for him to be in hell.
ReplyDeleteGotta love how Dana Fisher always has to list her charitable contributions. So very Christian of her. SMH
ReplyDeleteCovering funeral expenses? Who are these fucking hippies? I wouldn't have even paid for the fity-cent round that killed this puke, that's what knives are for.
ReplyDeleteCold bloded gangbangers who KILLED someone and you sound like you are in love with them WTH!!??
ReplyDeletehttps://www.facebook.com/alfonso.seals.3
Really cuz I met Dana Fisher and she's a stuck up,white girl acting broad who wouldn't hug a thug or any of yall. You'd mess up her suit. Real talk.
ReplyDeleteJohnny - no, my name isn't Jim Watkins, but yeah I guess I'm a troll and that's ok with me if you're ok publishing my trolling.
ReplyDeleteWhen the family members of this (and other) human garbage come to your blog attempting to use the English language ("you ain't know Devonte, he my cuzzin, he was a family man, he ain't never hurt nobody, he my cuzzin!!! He my family!!"), I want them to see EXACTLY what the rest of us think of their "cuzzin," the victimizing piece of shit who made the rest of us miserable until the day someone mercifully blew his brains out for us.
And it is important to write it in a dialect that these borderline-illiterate people will be able to understand, hence the nasty "booty stretch" language.
Nobody is saying you "endorse" it, Johnny. But I do appreciate your willingness to publish it.
You take it too far and there's no much negativity. The facts are bad enough. But it's un-Christian to say people are in hell having their booty stretched by Satan. That just goes too far. There's something wrong and broken in you.
ReplyDeleteThe awful facts of somebody's criminal record are fair game but your remarks are simply over the line. And yet they make it through the filter of substantive remarks, so I publish the remarks, but I strongly disapprove and do not endorse.
Is this now a fucking Christian blog Johnny?
ReplyDeleteI love you cousin ..Rip devonte baby
ReplyDeleteRip cuzzin we love you devonte...and it hurts to see these negative comments from whole strangers.. we know who were gone but never forgotten luv ur cousin chanel
ReplyDeleteIn regard to the "Christian blog" question, feel free to elaborate upon your question. For my answer, in part, I feel free to invoke a Christian standard of kindness and decency without the entire blog then taking on the characterization of a "Christian blog." Since you brought up HELL, I brought up a Christian standard. The discussion of religion was first brought up by you, not by me. I merely answered you within the same context and framework so now feel free to answer.
ReplyDeleteDear Anon Johnny - no, my name isn't Jim Watkins,
ReplyDeleteYou're the most vile,rude,and disgusting excuse for a human I have come across.You should hope there is not hell because you belong in it. I would prefer thugs over you anyday. There is a straight jacket and a special place in hell for people like you. WHY your filth is published makes me wonder if you're not simply JNS.
I do not comment anonymously on my own blog. And I do not like the comments in question. However, they pass as substantive discussion and though I hold my nose, I publish the comments. Comments such as that provoke further commentary, much of it by decent people who may disapprove of the lifestyle choices of the deceased but would make it clear they have some form of pity upon his soul.
ReplyDeleteI have no problems saying un-Christian things as I am absolutely not a Christian. Bearing that in mind, I stand behind my blasphemous troll comments: Booty. Being painfully stretched. By the devil. On the North Side of thug hell. Which is where Devonte Coppage lives.
ReplyDeleteHold up! Are YOU really having a discussion about the murder VICTIM going to hell?This has got to be the most ignorant shit I have gazed upon in awhile.
ReplyDeleteI must add you people are like those that blame the rape victim for being drunk and dressing risqué. I would love to see anyone of you piles of garbage in person or even know your names. What a bunch of internet thugs!
ReplyDeleteGo blow a dick Anony 4:26 and stay the fuck out of North you thug hugging piece of shit.
ReplyDeleteThis site should be taking off because how would you feel if that was your son and money was low so I think you would do the same thing, and also everyone is a child of GOD so with that being said you really need to dig so far deep in that body you say has a soul and think about what you post on your page about someone losing a son or loved one they really don't want to hear or read about someone they don't know criticizing or saying some stupid shit like that, I bet you wouldn't put any of your family members shit on here. Last but not least he will always be loved, missed won't ever be forgotten, I know one things for sure whoever these people are putting devilish negative things about the deceased for ones having problems in they life it will happen to y'all to but worse. JNS THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU POST REALLY AND GOD MIGHT HAVE MERCY ON YOU OR WHO EVER YOU BELIEVE IN!!!! Its wrong to post anyone's murder even if they have a criminal record or not. That's wrong in the eyes of the lord and our father GOD!
ReplyDeletePosting someone's record of FACTS is one thing that the public may benefit from knowing. Posting name calling,horrible opinion is DISGUSTING.The people that need to STAY out of North are the ones filled with HATE.YOU are the problem.
ReplyDelete@ January 8, 2014 at 4:26 AM,
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean by "you people"?
The poor need to stay out of North, they are the problem.
ReplyDeleteMinneapolis is a majority of poor,read the census. If the poor moved away it would be a ghost town. If you live in North Minneapolis and you're not poor, you're STUPID as hell. THEY are NOT leaving, EVER!
ReplyDeleteHey anonymous, not every car you see in Nomi that's worth two to four years of your salary is a drug dealer's or someone visiting! Do you think that there just might be some intelligent professionals with good incomes who like living in Nomi?
ReplyDeleteHey Anon, I have never seen a car in Nomi worth more than 200k.Yes,I am a darn good CPA. I will ask them, when I do, why they are so stupid to risk bullet holes in their fancy car and in their children's heads when they can afford to live somewhere better. FYI- Majority does not mean EVERYONE.
ReplyDeleteRE: "everyone is a child of GOD"
ReplyDeleteBS! Did he subscribe to the principles of GOD? Does he really warrant your GOD's approval or acceptance? He lived his life in complete defiance of GOD's law. He stole. He lied. He cheated. Did he kill? Did he take your MFing GOD's name in vain? Where is the line? This is a sincere question. Everybody is automatically forgiven upon death? What gives?
I'm rejecting comments that attack Dana Fisher over her kind and humane impulse to help with this guy's funeral. Though I may not agree with her outlook on this topic, I'm sick of the continuous attacks on Dana and reserve the right to reject comments for any reason at all, including I'm just sick of the comments.
