On April 11, 2006, Proof was killed by a gunshot to the head at the CCC Club in Detroit, Michigan by club bouncer Mario Etheridge after Proof allegedly shot U.S. Army veteran Keith Bender, Jr.
While playing a game Proof and Bender got into a heated argument. After a physical altercation, Etheridge fired his gun into the air to try and stop the situation, but Proof shot Bender in the head. Etheridge, who was Bender's cousin, then shot Proof three times in the head and chest. Proof was killed instantly, and Bender died a week later. Bender's family began a wrongful death suit against Proof's estate. Etheridge was held by authorities to have been acting in lawful defense of another man; however, he was guilty of carrying a concealed weapon and discharging a firearm inside a building. Etheridge was released in October 2006 after being sentenced to time served and a $2000 fine.
Several months later, hip-hop magazine XXL published an alternative account of the evening in a feature article interviewing Proof's friend, Mudd (Reginald Moorer), who accompanied Proof on the night of the shooting and claimed to have brought the gun that was used to kill Bender. Mudd claimed that his group went to the CCC Club after going to a strip club, began drinking and that Proof played pool against Bender. He observed Proof and Bender arguing, noting that it was "ordinary for Proof to get drunk and fight". After they were separated, Mudd claimed Bender hit Proof and a fight between the two broke out. Shortly afterward, Mudd saw Etheridge shoot his gun straight up into the air to break up the fight. Proof then demanded Mudd's gun, and after he refused, pulled the weapon from Mudd's pants and also fired into the air. Mudd claimed that Bender charged Proof, and that in the scuffle shots were fired that hit both Bender and Proof.


Is it not lost on people that this crime seems to embody the disparity in values? It shows that they are alive and have strong feelings.


Let me further explain my point that some people are not ideological racists, but practical racists. They do believe in the equality of all human beings, but don't want others in their area.

this thread is a joke, right?
it's a pratical joke on me.
i'm not falling for it.
