Damn, the hee-haw again? It's time for Donkey of the Day. I ain't trying to be Donkey of the Day no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things. It's called Donkey of the Day, and it really caught me off guard. Damn, Solomon, who got the Donkey of the Day today? Well, just hilarious.

Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, June 25th. Cancer season goes to a 20-year-old New Jersey man named Edward Kang. Yes, like the Conqueror, Kang. Okay, he is facing an attempted murder charge after allegedly, got to say allegedly, flying to Florida and pressing somebody who was talking crazy on the Internet. In my mind, I'm all for this. Okay, because you should not be able to talk reckless

from the comfort of your own home and not get approached about it. Okay, that's the problem with the Internet. People think they can say any damn thing because they never got punched in their face for saying any damn thing. Well, Edward Kang is a gamer, okay? And he is now facing an attempted murder charge after flying to Florida and attacking a fellow gamer with a hammer over an online dispute. Let's go to First Coast News for the report, please.

There's some things that make you say, what in the world was he thinking? That reaction after 20-year-old Edward King flew from New Jersey to Jacksonville, Florida and attacked a man he argued with during an online game called Arch Age. Police say King bought a hammer at a hardware store and then went to the victim's home in Fernandina Beach around 2 AM Sunday. The door was unlocked, according to investigators, and the victim was playing a game in his room,

but took a break to use the bathroom. Once he opened the door, he noticed the suspect standing with a hammer raised in the air in an anticipated strike position. Suspect was wearing all black gloves and a mask. This is the hammer King used in the attack. The victim fought back and the victim

stepdad was awoken by the sounds. He then helped the victim hold King until police arrived. The suspect asked our deputy how much time in jail do you get for breaking an interim in assault? And I would say Mr. King, it's gonna be a long time

before you play video games again burn burn okay more details if you're wondering edward king told his family he was going to meet a friend he met years ago through the online video game arch age uh which will no longer be accessible in the united states because of a declining number of active players so he flew from newark to to Jacksonville, went to a hotel near the victim's home, purchased a hammer and a flashlight at a hardware store. I'm shocked he just didn't buy a gun. Florida don't require a permit to buy a gun,

nor is there a permit that exempts any person from the background check requirement. So the moral of the story is, you could have bought a different type of hammer, Edward, but thank God he didn't. Now, how did he get to Addy? I don't know. This sounds to me like the other online gamer must have dropped the location because he thought he couldn't be touched, and Edward King said, Stop, Hammer Time.

Now, I'm going to tell you something. This is very ninja-like, and when I say ninja, I'm not using that as a substitute for the N-word. I'm talking actual ninjas like Teenage Mutant Turtles, like a person skilled in the Japanese art of ninjutsu, okay, wearing all black gloves, black masks, sneaking in the unlocked doors, waiting until dude got up to go to the bathroom and then attacking him with a hammer. Now, the victim was the same age as Edward Kang, 20 years old.

And he was, as you heard, you know, he was able to wrestle Edward to the ground. His stepfather woke up and they were able to take the hammer away. Florida, I got to say, man, y'all getting soft. Okay, y'all letting people fly from out of state to Florida armed with nothing but a tool, y'all getting soft. Okay, y'all letting people fly from out of state to Florida armed with nothing but a tool, breaking in your houses, attacking y'all, and nobody getting shot. I have zero remorse for individuals who break into other individuals' houses. If you are bold enough to break into my sanctuary of peace, then guess what? You will rest in that peace. Okay, I don't care how old you are. I'm not asking for no damn ID

when you break into my place of residence for any reason. You break into people's houses when they are at home. You deserve to get whatever comes with that, even if it's death. Now you heard the sheriff say they asked Kang what his motive was, and he allegedly told deputies that the victim is a bad person online. Well, guess what, Edward? You have grown to be a bad person in real life. OK, there is nothing this person said to you online that equates to you receiving second degree murder and armed burglary charges. Now, Edward King, you know, you heard him ask the officer, you know, how much jail time do you receive for breaking and entering? And the officer said, I would say, Mr. King, it will be a long time before you play video games ever again. I like that kind of petty. This is a prime example of why you have to learn from the mistakes of others okay edward kane did what so many of us had wanted have wanted

to do okay pulled up on someone talking reckless online and beat their mother loving ass that was a bet at it i'll beat your mother loving ass. Why can't I love my mother? Even though it may sound good, I'm going to roll up on him and beat his ass at the end of the day. It's not good. Okay, this 20 year old has a second degree murder charge and a burglary charge. And, you know, Sheriff Bill Leeper said this incident serves as a

stark reminder of the potential real world consequences of online interaction. I don't encourage behavior like Edward Kang, but I understand it. And I truly believe folks should talk to people online the way you do in the real world, because you just never know.

Disrespect the wrong person, and they may be at your front door, dressed in all black like the omen. Next thing you know, your friends are singing, this is for my homie. Please let Remy Ma give Edward Kang the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er.

You dumb. Now there's nothing left to do but play a game of Guess What Race It Is! Edward Kang, 20 years old from Newark, New Jersey, flew from Newark, New Jersey to Jacksonville, Florida, and beat up a man who was talking spicy online. DJ Envy, Guess What

Race It Is! Damn, this is a tough one. Beat up a man who was talking spicy online. DJ Envy. Guess what race he is. Damn, this is a tough one. Let's go black. That's it. Damn, damn, damn. Why? Tell me why. Because he was dressed in all black?

You never know. Why? No, no, no, no. Because sometimes you push people too much. And you said Newark, New Jersey. So I figured Newark is predominantly black, right? He flew out there and beat the guy's ass. Okay.

I figured he's black. Okay. Jess Hilarious. Edward Kang, 20 years old. Flew from Newark, New Jersey to Jacksonville, Florida and beat up a man who was talking spicy online. Jess Hilarious. Guess what race she is?

Asian. Oppan Gangnam Style. Last name is Kang. And then Newark has been gentrified. Still being gentrified. I don't know if it's being gentrified that much. Is it? Excuse me?

I don't know. You don't know. A lot of different races coming through there now. The only thing is, see, black people ain't going to waste their money flying into Florida to beat somebody else. That ain't true. Black people? Are you out your damn line? I ain't say black.

I say Asian. Because flights is expensive. No, I'm just saying. I'm thinking about myself. Yeah, yeah. Well. But them Asians, you know, they be having points. One of y'all is correct.

Uh-huh. One of y'all is dead wrong. Okay. DJ Envy, you are dead wrong. Jess Elias, you are absolutely correct. Edward King is Asian. No way. His last name King.

K-A-N-G. Yes, he is. Oh, you said Kang. Yes. I thought you said King. Kang. Kang. No, he said Kang.

You know I ain't say no damn thing. It sounds like he said King. I said Kang like the Conqueror. I ain't say King like Martin Luther. Yeah, Kang like Liu Kang. That's right. Exactly. There you go.

And I know his first name is not Edward, but you know they get like different names when they come over here because it may be something else that we can't pronounce. I even gave y'all a little hint during the donkey, but y'all just wasn't paying attention. I'm not going to say it because I don't know if it's racist or not. So I'm just going to shut up. But you'll hear it if you listen back to it. Okay. Yeah, but I already knew. I think y'all cheated.

There's no way you just got that one out the blue. To use context clues. Edward Kang. K-A-N-G. He flew. All right. I'm going to play family food with you then. You know the clues.

All right. Let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Has somebody ever pissed you off so much online, social media, or in a game where you actually pulled up on the person? Talk to me. 800-585-1051. We're going to discuss.

And Jess Larry said it has happened to her. She has pulled up on somebody. I'm surprised nobody pulled up on you. I'm surprised, too, because I'd be short sitting on my porch waiting. But, yes, it has happened to me. When we come back? When we come back, we'll discuss. But yeah, so that has happened to me. Well, when we come back? When we come back, we'll discuss. But 800-585-1051. Have you ever pulled up on somebody? They were talking crazy online
