FAKE CASH FLEX Man Flexes Fake Cash On IG, Gets Shot In The Head After Robbers Storm His Home For The Loot

Man is accosted in home and lets the world know his pain.

By Skyler SaundersPublished about 11 hours ago 3 min read

To almost be killed over false funds is scary. To live and tell the story of your ordeal is legendary. An Indianapolis man received a non-fatal gunshot wound to his neck, just below his head. He had posted fake dollars on Instagram from an old Facebook page. Someone knew his address and proceeded to break into his home, pistolwhip him several times, and then shoot him.

Now, this just looks like a case of watching what you put on the Internet. As has already been said, the Internet is written in ink and is undefeated. For this man to even show fake cash is alarming. I’m not blaming the victim here, I’m just pointing out the fact that he’s gotta be more careful in these Internet streets.

With nasty entry and exit wounds, he showed himself to be a fortunate survivor of a home invasion and attempted murder. All he has to do at this point is focus on how many dollars he can generate from his ordeal. He can line up book deals, a TV show, some kind of cautionary tale that can be spun into a movie. That’s the American way. At least he can profit off of his pain this way.

To show money that isn’t even real on camera and then repost it into an IG photo is reckless and dangerous, obviously. This man should be thanking his lucky stars (no astrology) for his death defying situation. As it stands, there’s a way he can become a spokesman for youths especially who post money phones on the ‘Gram in order to gain clout.

He could go on tours and motivate young people to watch what they post online, as their health could be at risk if they go down the wrong digital path.

When he realized his house had been broken into, the man could have grabbed a firearm (pro 2nd Amendment) and blasted the fools who attempted to rob him. For him to become this victim of his own circumstances is an eye opener to say as much.

He spoke calmly and directly to the Indianapolis, Indiana news department about his sketchy situation. With his unassuming demeanor, he explained the entire set of events. This man actually escaped death on this journey into recovery. He seemed to be affable, just about making light of the whole serious altercation.

With his life still intact (for now) the man has a special understanding of the land of the living. He must feel reinvigorated and alive on another level. He was not supposed to survive this incident. He was supposed to be six feet deep or in an urn based on his Web behavior. Instead, the angels (there are no angels) descended upon him and allowed him to breathe air another day.

What he should focus on going forward are leaner meals and a better barber. Since he came out of his trauma with his life, he should reach out to Mark Zuckerberg and ask if he can get a percentage of the Meta profits by warning people of what they post to the various platforms, including but not limited to Instagram.

This could open up floodgates for other social media sites who may have the same issues. For all the real or inauthentic dough that is tossed around the Internet like the foundation of pizza, there could be a reckoning of what is broadcast on these sites. Of all the ways he can make himself whole again, he should attempt to become closer to the people who run them and indicate to their users the hazards of posting provocative material. Yes, he has a 1st Amendment right to put up what he wants in the bounds of private property, but that apparently can still lead from fake cash to a trip to the hospital.
