There's currently a guy in the Batman forums bragging that he's an Afghanistan veteran and an MMA fighter and a million other things who could beat the **** out of Robert Pattinson, so I take everyone's tales of themselves around here with a grain of salt.

But I got a feelin' Kryptin may be legit.

Krypton be like

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Literally the joke 90% of people make when they learn I was a martial arts practitioner.

Better than my close friends who know better but always were "Hey... How's da KARATE going?" And... They knew I'd never studied Karate. Ball busting, that sort of thing.

Sorry Lord Grejoy... 100% true. I'll be making a report to police later today.

Older, fatter... Out of shape... But yes there was an extended period of my life where I was training not only 6 plus hours a day but I was teacing classes or assistant teaching 5-6 days a week.

I fought at the Gatherings Of The Pack, the Real Contact Stick Fighting based off of Filipino Martial Arts that also allowed for punches, kicks, throws and grappling/ground fighting. Basically an MMA fight with weapons.

If you wanna go lineage... My primary Instructor had a lineage that included local Brooklyn Martial Arts legend David Machin, currently he does Shorinji Kenpo, pressure point stuff and... He was still great last I saw him. Did a technique one on me that made my hand tingle with pain for days. Matt also trained under Guro Rick Tucci of the Princeton Academy of Martial Arts. Matt also was accredited under Sifu Paul Vunak of Progressive Fighting systems (JKD CONCEPTS/FMA) and Sifu/Guro Larry Hartsell (JKD CONCEPTS/JKD Integrated Grappling/ FMA) and Tucci, Vunak and Hartsell are students of Dan Inosanto...


Dan Inosanto was one of two people Bruce Lee gave a full teaching credential to continue to teach Jeet Kune Do.


Sound all made up... But true.

Anyone that has listened to my podcast knows my real name.

I've had enough conversations with KRYPTON to believe him in these types of posts.

I wish that poster in the Batman forums was at least entertaining.

Sorry Lord Grejoy... 100% true. I'll be making a report to police later today.

May Allah grant you success in your efforts to seek safety and protection.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Here is my promise to you Reek... However my story ends here on the Hype I won't just sail off into a hurricane.

Deal?

 

[C. Lee]

How many did I miss?

a bunch. I don't keep count. There are basically 2 categories.
1. people who have been here a while and do something stupid.
2. brand new people who are only here to spam.

Thanks Aziz.

The issue here seems to be that this guy has been stalking her for sometime. And now the frequency of his attempts to meet here or deliver gifts is increasing.

These types don't usually wake up one day and go "Oh man... What have I been doing? This is crazy. I gotta stop this." No, they tend to escalate. In my bones I can feel it. This guy is 100% of his rocker in a Mark David Chapman way.

Pro tip for anyone and everyone... When an employee of a building asks you to leave do so quietly and with no fuss. They have the legal right acting on behalf of their employers to kick your ass onto the streets. If this guy had just left when asked this wouldn't be an issue.

Hopefully myself and the rest of the staff making a police report will allow some kind of action.

 

[C. Lee]

Are the police aware of the extent of his stalking?

From what I have heard, and honestly I was a little miffed that they basically the job only told us months back a vague description of him and his name.

He has been doing this for some time going back apparently to when David died. I was told she went to NYPD who said until he actually gets violent they cannot do anything and...

I don't quite buy that. She is quite wealthy with connection that run pretty deep in NYC. If she had pressed more I think something could have been done. That is my opinin.

Also, again, it is the staff that has to directly deal with him as he was coming in during the day shift. He thought he was slick coming in at night I guess. Actually he was. I am literally the sole employee there overnight.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I think hiring private security services would be a good idea at this point.

 

[Iceman]

@KRYPTON INC. Hope you manage to stay safe buddy. They need to get this guy into a straitjacket.

 

[flickchick85]

Stay safe, @KRYPTON INC. I hope Iman finally manages to take some action against this guy.

 

[Marvolo]

I'm getting this down here for the record and I'm not kidding friends with this. Not one bit.

About 10-15 minutes ago a stalker showed up who has been trying to get to Iman, the former super model that was married to David Bowie who lives at my job.

He had shown up on my shift once a couple weeks back but that was the first time I saw him. So, someone is at the door. This guy has a suit, long coat, and doesn't look like he's crazy homeless or something. I let him in and too late I realize it's the guy from before.

"Hey... It's Valentine's Day!" he says in this sing songy way.

I immediately get up and tell him he isn't dropping anything off he's not hanging around, he's getting his ass out of here. He responds with a very bold. "Are you gonna try and throw me out of here?"

"I will do whatever I must to do my job sir. Please leave now."

So this mutha****a... He puts his hands up like he wants to throw down. I'm too ****ing old myself (this guy looks late 50's/early 60's so, he's got 15 to 20 years on me...) to get into a fist fight, plus, as a martial artist I know... You don't want to get into a fight. You ideal want to intercept an attack and administer a beatdown. That's not a fight. That's not a back and forth with him hitting me and then I hit back, blocking, tackling, throws, all that good stuff. YOU DON'T WANT THAT. You wanna stop or snuff an incoming attack and then ****ing whale on the guy to the point one can escape, and if that's not possible, incapacitate them to the point control is possible or they are incapable of standing or running.

So... I'm not trading hands with the guy. He wants to throw down? Okay Kemosabe... Ready to dance with some Kali sticks? Once he put his hands up and was refusing to leave he brought whatever might happen on himself. I grab my sticks and just do some technique sequences (Double stick mind you, and unlike a lot of Filipino Martial Arts practicioners (Sorry bros... It's the truth...) I've trained siniwali to a point of actual ambidexterity and actual effectiveness. I have no qualms fighting double stick/sword/machete/knife.


Well that's all I had to start doing. "Oh ****!" sayeth the psycho. The guy just backs up really quick to where he hits the entrance door, still facing me. I keep stepping closer still swinging getting ready to beat the crazy off him. "Open that door behind you. OPEN THAT DOOR BEHIND YOU!" I yell at him. He does after a moment and then he's back out, without me having to actually do anything to him.

Once outside this guy starts screaming his head off in the most insane and irrational display I've seen in front of my face in the long time. He starts in on EVERYTHING. The Jews. Nazis. How he has an army... The ravings of a madman. But one who turned on a dime. He sounded more or less normal when he arrived, now he was full on psycho. I stay outside still armed at the entrance (I don't want him smashing the windows or anything.) and he's yelling at me as he walks fast down the block.


Here's the thing folks... This man's actions are ESCALATING. This my second time dealing with him, but he's tried to get in before and been continually dropping "gifts" off during the day shift, at least 3 to 4 times before in recent months although as I understand it, he's kinda been stalking her for a few years.

In any case... This isn't going to down shift in intensity. That's not how this **** goes. Captain Unbalanced is gonna come back. And I don't give a **** if any other Hypesters think I'm being dramatic but... It's a matter of time until this man returns with a gun.

It's inevitable. These types do not go home and reconsider their actions. If they were like that, they would have stayed on their meds or continued treatment, whatever. No, this guy is gonna return and I'll be blunt... I'm not taking a bullet for Iman. Uh-uh.

I'm gonna have a long talk with my super and hopefully Iman and I am going to tell her for her safety and now mine, she is going to do everything within her considerable wealth and connections to get this ******* off the streets. We KNOW his name. They know he's stalking her but I suppose until he actually gets violent there's little the authorities can do. Well... We've moved beyond mere restraining order territory. I'll testify in any case and I'll make sure to have our building supply the neccessary security footage. But she's GOING to use her money and connections to send this guy away because, again... I AM NOT GETTING SHOT BY A ****ING PSYCHOPATH BECAUSE IMAN DIDN'T WANT TO SPEND MONEY.


So... Real talk... In the days and weeks ahead if I suddenly disappear Loungers... Well something might have actually happened. I'll keep the crew here up to date with anything that happens.



Anyone that thinks this a joke or a prank, the other Loungers will tell you I am 100% the night concierge/security at the building where indeed David Bowie and Iman live(d).

Just in case god forbid you should get hurt by that psycho could you leave some sort of note in your belongings for a family member to let us know what happened?

Stay safe. If you cant have a gun, get a can of bear mace, and dont hesitate. If he steps foot in the building spray him as soon as he crosses the threshold. Frontiersman brand claims to be capable of a 35' range. As soon as that stuff hits him he wont even remember why he is at the building.

That’s a really good idea. I mean the bear mace obviously, but also asking family/friends to let Hype guys know about things like that. So many people have disappeared from here and we have no idea why. Hopefully they just lost interest and moved on to other things or life got busy, but you never know and it’s nice to at least rule out the worst. I’m actually going to ask someone to do this for me too now. I can’t see myself ever optionally leaving the site now after all these years.
