Bieber fan vandalizes Rick Rypien memorial (i.imgur.com)
submitted 2 days ago by stumper93
[–]fptp01 134 points135 points136 points 2 days ago
I say all canucks fans in Vancouver we get together go there and Clean crap like that off it! whos with me.
[–]SadStumpy 56 points57 points58 points 2 days ago
Clean that shit up for the man!
[–]jewbj3wb 54 points55 points56 points 1 day ago
I remember the last time all you canucks fans got together in one spot on Vancouver's streets.
[–]canuckfanatic 18 points19 points20 points 1 day ago
and then the REAL fans cleaned it up for the next week or two :/
[–]ktaggart 6 points7 points8 points 1 day ago
Fuckin RAGE!
[–]fptp01 3 points4 points5 points 1 day ago
thats why I say we go the civilized route, I was never a part of the riots and I hated it. It disgusted me as a fan and as a Vancouver citizen.
[–]jewbj3wb 1 point2 points3 points 1 day ago
I'm glad i moved away from that city, really. The crime capital of Canada (Prince George) is quite a bit better!
[–]H2Awesome 2 points3 points4 points 1 day ago
That's the first time I've heard anyone, even jokingly, say something positive about Prince George.
I can name many reasons why PG is better and I lived in both places for quite a while. But I suppose it's ultimatly personal preference.
[–]H2Awesome 1 point2 points3 points 1 day ago
Haha I'm just messing with you, PG is actually one of my favourite cities in Canada.
[–]Fifteen-Two 0 points1 point2 points 18 hours ago

yea, we bonded together to clean up the mess of a few deviants within our fanbase.
[–]Pherbert 19 points20 points21 points 2 days ago
While I like the sentiment, don't you think she should be the one cleaning it up?
[–]jakemyers7 14 points15 points16 points 2 days ago
I think there should be a restraining order against her for that memorial

This is the correct response, don't flip shit at the stupid girl, if you are in Vancouver just go down there and clean it off, it's not permanent you probably have shit under your sink capable of fixing it.
[–]TL10 -1 points0 points1 point 1 day ago
Unfortunately, our friend SpectreFire may or may not have instigated that.
[–]tinycookie 30 points31 points32 points 2 days ago

[–]imdwalrus 5 points6 points7 points 1 day ago
An awful lot. :(
[–]SpectreFire 79 points80 points81 points 2 days ago
Apparently they already found out who she is and people have been giving it to her all night on her Twitter account.

What specifically is getting said? I can't access Twitter from work.
[–]rubelmj 23 points24 points25 points 2 days ago

[–]Siebutsu -20 points-19 points-18 points 1 day ago
That's what she fucking gets. Asshole...
[–]bilateralchicken 10 points11 points12 points 1 day ago
She likely didn't know what exactly she was writing on. Not everyone knows hockey.
Nobody deserves death threats.

This is Vancouver were talking about
[–]otwall 3 points4 points5 points 1 day ago
You overestimate the popularity of hockey in Vancouver.
[–]BountyHuntard 18 points19 points20 points 2 days ago
Just about everything. Media is all over it too, they're being unbiased of course. The fans... yeah they're tearing her 4 new assholes lol. She deleted her twitter account too.
[–]H2Awesome 73 points74 points75 points 2 days ago
Dude it's a teenage girl, you should take the link off before this goes to far.

Well to be fair two of those are from the same crazy fucker and Avishek is probably just quoting Taken. Joking aside though, this is the internet. someone is bound to make a god damn death threat.
[–]APWTSIS 13 points14 points15 points 2 days ago
Pretty pathetic to make death threats over what's likely a simple mistake. If those so called "fans" (hold on before you flip over the quotes) are actually fans then they would know that Rypien probably doesn't want people going around threatening the poor girl's life.
[–]TakingATurd 23 points24 points25 points 1 day ago
I agree that its pretty silly to go and make death threats about this, but I'm not willing to chalk her actions up to a "silly mistake." If she's old enough to write that, she is probably old enough to read that heartfelt comment in the lower right. She should also be old enough to realize its silly to go around writing on walls to advertise a concert, and if she's not, her parents failed in some way.
[–]APWTSIS -15 points-14 points-13 points 1 day ago
She was probably so hyped up and energized from the concert she didn't take the time to read it. I agree she's old enough to know better but after seeing my favourite band I'm always super hyped up and if I had a sharpie I'd probably write something in the wrong place accidently. She's a human being after all
[–]poopsmith666 6 points7 points8 points 1 day ago
some of her stuff was written directly over stuff written for rick. This story doesn't hold.

I Really Don't Understand Why So Many People Post Messages Where The First Letter Of Every Word Is Uppercased.
[–]pasky 6 points7 points8 points 1 day ago
Maybe they speak German, where the first Letter of every Noun is capitalized. And went Overboard.
[–]poopsmith666 1 point2 points3 points 1 day ago
sometimes if you type in all caps it autocorrects to each first capital letter instead.
[–]Forbichoff 1 point2 points3 points 1 day ago
on some sites, if you put all caps on it just capitalizes the first letter in each word.
[–]TheCakeFlavor 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago
I hope she hasn't actually killed herself.
[–]SpectreFire 34 points35 points36 points 2 days ago
Like I said, It's a public twitter profile, it's not as if I'm posting her Facebook or anything. I don't feel there is anything wrong with posting it. It's public information.
[–]H2Awesome 6 points7 points8 points 2 days ago
I'm just saying people on the internet are crazy and can do some fucked up shit.
[–]SpectreFire 29 points30 points31 points 2 days ago
People who are crazy and want to verbally fuck up her shit bad, can easily find her profile regardless. At least people who want to read about what's going on, and see what's happening can. Let's be fair, all of us who want to find her information here can easily find her information, I'm just making it more convenient.
[–]H2Awesome 15 points16 points17 points 2 days ago
Yeah I guess you're right. Also how fucked up is it that we are having two separate arguments at the same time on the same thread?

I think it's more along the lines of ease of access. While someone who wants to rob my house can pick my lock, having my door locked keeps a lot of people away.

Personal info alert!!! I NEED AN ADULT!!! Seriously though I would take that down.
[–]SpectreFire 18 points19 points20 points 2 days ago
Since when does public information count as personal information? By that logic, we shouldn't be posting direct tweets from Mackenzie either because that links to his personal information as well.

The Dale Weise account is fake :( sorry to be the bearer of bad news...
[–]APWTSIS 22 points23 points24 points 2 days ago*
What should happen is she should be asked to apologize to the Rypien family and then clean her mistake. There's no reason to go head hunting the girl.

That just sucks. Words can't describe how bad I feel for you guys.
[–]Foofs123 17 points18 points19 points 2 days ago
Completely disrespectful. I hope she's made to go scrub it off or something.
[–]Pherbert 10 points11 points12 points 2 days ago*
You know, I'm kind of wondering if she's the type to go apologize for it, or get really angry and say it wasn't her fault because she didn't know what it was for, so you can't blame her for it.
Edit: She's locked down her Twitter account. Well, I guess that answers that.
[–]rpgguy_1o1 0 points1 point2 points 2 days ago
I'm wondering if twitter may have taken it down themselves.
[–]Pherbert 4 points5 points6 points 2 days ago
Ah, fair point. I didn't consider that. Then again, why would Twitter delete something like that? I would think they'd delete accounts of people posing as celebrities at farthest.
[–]rpgguy_1o1 10 points11 points12 points 2 days ago
It's bad publicity to be the host of a service where a teenaged girl is getting death threats from all over a continent.
[–]gnbuttnaked 1 point2 points3 points 1 day ago
So shouldn't they delete the accounts of people giving the threats? Not receiving them? lol
[–]TheMoof 1 point2 points3 points 1 day ago
It's easier to lock down a single account than try to stop every account that sprouts up to make death threats.
[–]Pherbert 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago
I was thinking that too, but I know a lot of (teenage) celebrities often get death threats after they reveal they're dating, so it just seems weird they would delete her Twitter account specifically when it's pretty tame compared to other things that have happened.
[–]Hypertechnic 9 points10 points11 points 2 days ago
Wow :(.
[–]Crescence 5 points6 points7 points 2 days ago
Great way to agitate all the fans...

Look, I'm just as angry as everyone here. But are you guys going to sit here and tell me you never did anything stupid when you were young. Let's not all gang up on her, let's make sure she knows that what she did is fucking disgusting and let her make up for it.
EDIT: Also, this is a good lesson. NEVER carry around a sharpie, you will make a bad decision with it
[–]SpectreFire 101 points102 points103 points 2 days ago
Pretty sure I never desecrated a memorial when I was a kid, the same as most people.
[–]Pherbert 52 points53 points54 points 2 days ago
Especially at 17. Maybe she doesn't deserve all the "excuse you, go die so I can fuck your grave up" but what she did was completely unacceptable for any age.
[–]SlurmNator -1 points0 points1 point 1 day ago
How do we know she's 17?
[–]Pherbert 1 point2 points3 points 1 day ago
It was in her Twitter biography blurb thing which was available before she deleted it.
I'm not saying that she's not a stupid cunt, I'm just saying that we've all done things that we're fucking stupid. Ganging up on the internet and telling her to go die isn't going to solve anything. (sidenote according to RES I've upvoted you more times than i'd like to admit)
[–]SpectreFire 12 points13 points14 points 2 days ago
No, the death threats and what not are wrong, but that's par for the course on the internet for anything attention worthy. Really, most people are just simply shaming her and calling her an idiot, which I think is totally fine.
sidenote according to RES I've upvoted you more times than i'd like to admit
I like to be agreeable.
[–]H2Awesome 1 point2 points3 points 2 days ago
I feel like we both have the same opinion. I think that she should learn her lesson and this is the only way for her to learn it. I just want to make sure no one is taking too far.
[–]jumpyg1258 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago
I never desecrated a memorial at any point in my life.
[–]jakemyers7 13 points14 points15 points 2 days ago
would you like if she wrote on one of your family members grave stone?
[–]razzark666 5 points6 points7 points 1 day ago
I would ask her to clean it off, I wouldn't threaten to kill her.
[–]biffyboy -3 points-2 points-1 points 1 day ago
She is a Bieber fan... I think you are optimistic about her sense of morality.
She's a 17 year old girl who likes music marketed towards 17 year old girls.

Dont you think that if your 17 you would have a little common sense not to write on a Vancouver icon's memorial...
[–]ShlongHammer 2 points3 points4 points 2 days ago
You are assuming she understood what she was doing. Fact of the mater is tons of Canucks fan's don't know with memorial exists, let alone someone who might not watch hockey (yes, those people do exist).
[–]SexBobomb 11 points12 points13 points 1 day ago
when you're at the fucking memorial it should be pretty clear what it is.
[–]dunegig 1 point2 points3 points 1 day ago
Not really. That was likely after a Bieber concert so it's night time and hard to read, the memorial is unofficial and has no signage indicating that it's a memorial, and it's just a pillar with sharpie writings on it. Easy to mistake for a common graffiti pillar if you don't follow hockey at all and are too caught up in a silly Bieber fervour to read any of the other writing.
[–]playne 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago
Its common sense! Plus how would you not know that a Vancouver Canuck player from you own city didnt die. Facebook, twitter, local newspapers etc. tell so much and dont you think that she would have seen the story on it, let alone putting up a memorial for Rypper. LG hormones got all crazy though and took over
[–]Pherbert 0 points1 point2 points 2 days ago
Fact of the mater is tons of Canucks fan's don't know with memorial exists
...That's a really, really sad thought. :\ Though, you think people would at what they're writing on at the very least.
[–]ObliviousIrrelevance 3 points4 points5 points 1 day ago
Yea, I did tons of stupid stuff as a kid. And, my dad would kick the shit out of me for it.
[–]shun-16 4 points5 points6 points 2 days ago
Coddling people doesn't work, especially nowadays. Kids don't respect shit. I live in Victoria and somebody desecrated a WW2 memorial like two months ago. A local person cleaned it up, didn't even wait for the city. You think the person was just going to be shamed into it with people saying "we're disappointed." Give me a break. She deleted her twitter, looks like she's realizing what happens when you do something wrong. Probably better she learns people are capable of worse than scolding her.
[–]CherrySlurpee -4 points-3 points-2 points 2 days ago
She's 17. She should know better.
I hope she goes to jail.
[–]Stylux 5 points6 points7 points 2 days ago
Jail? You know most jurisdictions don't throw you in jail for graffiti right?
[–]CherrySlurpee -10 points-9 points-8 points 1 day ago

But in my opinion graffiti is a malicious crime and deserves jail time. It doesn't matter if its a memorial or not.

[–]APWTSIS 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago
There's a difference between graffiti and art. I've seen plenty of pictures and tags on the sides of buildings that are absolutely beautiful and it's a shame they get covered up. She may have seen other people's sharpie messages and, without reading them, wrote her own thinking it was okay or a place to do that.
[–]Stylux 1 point2 points3 points 1 day ago
You realize we have over 2 million people in prison in this country right?
[–]CherrySlurpee -1 points0 points1 point 1 day ago
I'm aware. And most of those people don't belong there.
But graffiti is not a victimless crime, is a malicious act, and basically serves no purpose.
[–]Stylux 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago
But graffiti is not a victimless crime
Do you know what victimless means? A wall on your house is not a victim.

[–]Stylux 0 points1 point2 points 18 hours ago

[–]ShlongHammer 16 points17 points18 points 2 days ago*
Calm your horses? I'm guessing a 12 year old did this. I know it's wrong, but give it a break, chances are she did not even bother reading the rest of shit on the wall because she was so beibered out.
EDIT)
To all those whom are going through the trouble of trying to make this girls life tough; I'm sure Rick Rypien has a a big fucking smile right now. I'm sure he's super thrilled that you guys are going 4chan on some clueless girl who (accidentally) defaced a memorial. Oh no wait, Rick probably would not like that so much, would he now? Stop being dicks.
[–]albite 22 points23 points24 points 2 days ago
She's 17, according to her twitter :/
[–]H2Awesome -7 points-6 points-5 points 2 days ago
I like to think that you went too her twitter to post a hate message on it, but then ended up reading all about her life instead.
[–]albite 6 points7 points8 points 2 days ago
I just wanted to read some hate. There wasn't any. Meh. Moving on.
[–]TL10 2 points3 points4 points 1 day ago
Well you missed it. Tons of hate on her way right now.
[–]Pherbert 1 point2 points3 points 2 days ago
Kind of nice, though. There's really minimal hate but a lot of "what you did was completely disrespectful, FIX IT."
[–]FilipinoPhil 27 points28 points29 points 2 days ago
How do you 'accidentally' deface a memorial? Did she slip on a banana or something?
[–]mcshemp 6 points7 points8 points 1 day ago
It's a column with a bunch of writing on it. If you didn't read all the other stuff you would have no idea it was a memorial.

[–]Mattyman01 6 points7 points8 points 2 days ago
This is just dumb. Even if this was a band I liked I'd be shocked. I hope this gets a little attention and the person who wrote this gets a shock when they log in to their Facebook to go like some Belieber post. Some of this generation has seriously lost their sense of respect.

The memorial looks like a bunch of graffitti to begin with. Is this what our city has become? Any writing with a sharpie on a wall is a memorial? LOL at what our next generation has become, a bunch of pissant whiners and losers. Huj Kok Oct. 11, 2012 12:41 PM

Is this an actual memorial?
[–]Hypertechnic 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago
A make shift memorial in the Rogers Arena plaza by the fans.

Ok well this is pretty shitty then... at first I thought it was just some random slab of concrete.
[–]adamkex 1 point2 points3 points 1 day ago
I hope it gets cleaned up.

No one seems to realize this girl was probably 12 years old, extremely excited to see her idol in concert and wrote on a rock that had other writing on it. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge hockey fan and was devastated when Rypien passed, but I can almost guarantee you whoever wrote this never even heard of Rick Rypien.
[–]puppyotto 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago
So the fan wasn't aware of what this is, saw a surface with sharpie writing on it and thought, I'll add to this. She just wasn't aware. It is funny really, what could you expect if you were in her situation? There are the sharpie marks on the memorial, I think she knows it is a memorial now, so you can remove them or add to them incorporate it somehow.
[–]dirty1391 3 points4 points5 points 1 day ago
Yeah, it could very well have been that. The only thing that makes that hard to believe is the fact that it's a memorial, on a street corner, with heartfelt sayings and pictures of Rick all over it. It is a clear cut memorial for someone, and I honestly think it's just downright disrespectful to do something like that.
[–]Frumbleabumb 1 point2 points3 points 1 day ago
If you looked at it, it's pretty clearly a memorial, not just random sharpie markings. Most markings say RIP RYPPER or things to that effect. There's no hearts, no HG+JD <3 etc, just RIP RYP or RYPPER WE WILL MISS YOU etc.

Not being cynical, but why doesn't someone here just go scrub it off? Stuff like this makes me sick, and I'd sooner go just wash it off myself then see people harass a young girl through the internet
[–]BRiNGTHERiCEOUT 2 points3 points4 points 1 day ago*
As far as I can tell, it's not a statue of Rypien or anything, it just happened to become a spot where fans wrote memorials to him. I don't think it's too farfetched to say that she saw a column with a bunch of writing on it, so she just figured "Hey, I should write something too!", probably without taking the time to really look at it.
Even if she noticed Rick Rypien's name on it, it probably didn't mean anything to her. Guess what? Not everyone pays attention to hockey. I really doubt that she was intentionally trying to disrespect Rick Rypien.
For all the people making death threats and calling her names, please take a step back and look at yourselves. Yes, this girl made a mistake out of ignorance. But that's no reason for people to harass and threaten her over something some household cleaning supplies could fix.
EDIT: Here is a picture of the memorial she wrote on. It's a column for the subway train, and you can even see the spot that she wrote on, right by the white RIP on the right side. Assuming it looked similar to that the night of the concert, and since there was probably a large crowd going to/from the subway, she probably did not look very closely at the surface she was writing on.
Skytrain, it is a skytrain dangit :P.
Here is a picture I took of it the week of Rypien's death. While it is not like that now it is rather well known and common sense dictates you don't write on something that has many RIP messages.

Really?
[–]dsac 7 points8 points9 points 1 day ago
This is how you identify Justin Bieber fans - they have "pet" names for him.
[–]Letenje_kurac 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago
The comments deleted, what did s/he say?
[–]ProjektTHOR 1 point2 points3 points 23 hours ago
Made fun of Justin Bieber fans, then proceeded to call him by a fan pet name ("J.Biebs").
Don't really care if someone likes him, but I think he made it clear that he might be a fan--but was bashing them because that's just what people do.
[–]Letenje_kurac 0 points1 point2 points 7 hours ago
Thank youu
[–]bilateralchicken -4 points-3 points-2 points 1 day ago
Amazingly enough, not everyone follows hockey. She may have had no idea that she was writing on anything important.
Cut her some slack (although vandalizing anything isn't cool).
[–]TL10 -3 points-2 points-1 points 1 day ago
Aaaaannnnnndddd Deadspin has gathered some of the wonderful blessings (/s) from Canucks fans.
[–]flamesforlife 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago
What is pathetic are the death threats she is getting. Yes she did insult a memorial to Rick, but that does not give anyone the right to give death threats over that.
[–]DrChangsteen -2 points-1 points0 points 1 day ago
Alot of people are very upset at this but if it really bothers you try going ther and cleaning it off instead of raging on r/hockey.
[–]Jarsh019 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago
It's already been cleaned off by some fans.
