So last weekend I had some family over, my brother had some of his friends over and they all got drunk (I wanted to drive home and not crash at parents home so stayed sober have a dog to take care of ).
One of my brothers friends who always seemed like a nice guy and normal (which is weird most of my brothers friends are a little weird) who we will call Conner.
All goes normal nothing unusual until the very end of the night. Turns out my bro's friend made a "joke" to my step brother (who we will call alex) that creeped him out and ended up causing drama between step mom and my brothers friend/brother himself about calling 911 that I will explain at the end.
The joke from Conner was (in a serious voice) "So I want to tell you something. I have a plan in a couple years to collect fetuses and kill my ex girlfriend." To which Alex fake laughed so as not to make it awkward. Conner responds to that with "You think I am joking?" serious face and then Alex walked away.
Now Alex decides to talk to his mom about it which is never a good idea because she can be a bit of a drama queen in general and being drunk is likely going to cause more. Well it did as we were all about to leave she comes storming up, points at Conner and yells at him to go upstairs. He does and then she starts screaming about needing someone to call 911.
Ok nobody else knows what the hell's going on and eventually it comes out what Conner said. My dad said nobody is calling 911 and yelling went on for god knows how long as this enfolds. Ends up everyone went home, cops weren't called (they really couldn't do anything imo even if this was serious).
So I ask my brother about what Conner said and he tells me "Oh he jokes like that all the time, they just over reacted. He has never had a girlfriend anyway so he has no ex to kill."
To top it off my brother tells him he shouldn't say that to strangers the next day when he comes over and Conner responds with "Why? I don't see anything weird with it at all it's normal."
So am I the only one who finds that weird? That feels like joking to friends might be ok with it I guess, but to do it to strangers you don't know (this was the first time Conner had met everyone except me and my bro) seems like a dumb thing to say. What do you guys think?
how old is he? sounds like a regular b/tard. just make sure he knows it was retarded (as demonstrated by the consequences) and let him do his own thing. lots of young people are fucking idiots
actually its pretty mean to pick on alex like that, you might want to tell him off yourself since trolling someone like that (who is presumeably pretty young and vulnerable) is pretty nasty tbh
if i went up to your little sister and told her i'm going to rape and kill a child , just to troll her, you would get pretty fucking mad. that sounds like how your mom felt about alex getting trolled
That's a pathetically terrible attempt at a joke. I hate people who say shit like that, but it's hilarious that anyone would take it seriously and consider calling the cops... or tell their parents about it in the first place. lol

also anyone in a position of care for the person getting trolled would go nuts (see my edit above)

21 I believe. I don't think he would actually do it, just seems to me to be a dumb thing to say to someone you don't know even as a joke and then never say you are joking.
Alex can be paranoid though as well (gets it from his mom I imagine) and yeah he's 19 a young punk .
That's a strange kind of joke. Not the funny one, that's for sure, and not the one you want to tell strangers unless you want to be considered as an awful creepy guy. I mean, if a guy I just met did this, I'd probably be scared of him and consider that he's not totally alright
when you replace names in your stories at least give them progamer names. i'll imagine your mom's name in the story is MKP (drama queen), your brother is ByuN and the weirdo is Sniper

Whenever lichter enlightens us with his wisdom, I feel like teamliquid should become a totalitarian stronghold under his rule, and we should all live by his words. Please, lichter...
So was that your step-mom and her son, or your mom and your step brother, or your step brother and not-his-mom-but-not-your-mom either? How do they relate to your other brother, who didn't think it was a joke?
I find the shortage of precision in this blog disturbing. #germanthings
Well, it is weird, but at the same time I do know people who would tell such jokes. If he makes jokes like that all the time, i would would have prepared the strangers for his behaviour. If he doesn't, it's just weird to everyone there, and especially in non-sober conditions, there is a high risk things get out of hand. Either way, it doesnt sound very mature.
Also, most people I know making such jokes, know it's weird and tell people because of that. That's (i think) the purpose of the joke, to put people off. Seeing such things as perfectly normal makes it borderline creepy :/
I don't understand how you can make such a big deal out of this. The guy has a weird sense of humor and not enough of a social radar to realize what kind if impact such comments can have on (apparently) super sensitive people.
And wtf your stepbrother telling his mom about it he sounds like a 10 year old girl
That's pretty disturbing, and if he kept a serious face/ never broke out into a laugh to let you know he was joking, never said Bazinga!, I'd steer clear of him. Stupid immature joke or sociopath o.O

I suspect you may be working for the Patriarchy. Also, joking about violence towards women is unacceptable. Only jokes about violence towards men are okay.

This was his chance to give it up and be normal. At least then it would just be a case of "ok this guy is an idiot who doesn't have a very good type of humor, if we can even call it that /facepalm" -- instead, what we have is, "ok this guy is super creepy, he thinks making jokes about killing people is normal, that is NOT NORMAL. Is he just awkward or is he actually a psychopath?"
In which case I would tell him that if he thinks it's normal to say jokes like that, that I will call the cops on him if he does it again and doesn't apologize for it.

No man probably he tried to be funny like our dear friend Pucca and when it didn't work out didn't want to admit that he was out of line and said that it was normal.

You don't tell someone that you're going to call the cops on them, you just do it. Same with suing someone. You don't announce "EXPECT TO HEAR FROM MY LAWYER", you just do it. Cuz what if you call the cops and they don't do anything? Maybe they'll talk to him and then drive away, and then you will be left with a maniac killer who knows you are a threat to him. In that scenario, I would say: have fun trying to sleep at night.

Not so much me making a big deal about it as I stayed out of the whole thing. I didn't see the point in even wanting to call the cops, but I got to thinking to myself and wondering how you guys would think of it. To me it seems weird/dumb to say things like this and to not even say your joking ever to strangers. Makes me wonder how stable he is.
He told his mom because he was scared he was actually going to kill his ex gf (that he didn't know he's never had) and didn't know what to do about it. I personally wouldn't have told my parents because I don't think there is anything they can do nor the cops anyway.
But he wanted to see because what if he had, had a gf and was planning it and his whole plan came out? He was concerned for a potential persons safety and didn't think everything through on his options (that should have been talk to us first probably and not his mom who over reacts and goes to the extreme on a lot of things).

Fuck I should have done that. Man I am so disappointed in myself .

Yeah she did and in general she's really bad about drama and over reaction unfortunately then any other women I have met.

According to my bro he makes them all the time. We did not know that of course. I don't think anything would have happened if he would have said he was joking, but he didn't cause he's an idiot and possibly not stable who knows.

Cops would be pointless imo nothing they can do and then if he really is a psychopath I might be on his list O_O.
