Joker 1 posted that he was having a seemingly urgent health issue. He was more concerned for the dogs than himself. Thread was nuked, so my assumption is that mods are engaging on getting assistance to him. He specifically asked that no one involve local authorities. I'm sure that members here will be willing to step up with help when a plan has been set up. For now he and the dogs need prayer. https://www.ar15.com/forums/General/We-need-to-send-prayers-up-for-Joker1/5-2546432/?page=20#i99720437 Rest in Peace, Mark. ~Subnet. |

I know several members know you personally, especially on the dog transports. Good folks want to help. This^ I hope someone who is local gets over to him. Updates, Please.  Just seeing what this guy has done gives me hope for this world. Hopefully someone close will get to him... Prayers inbound |

I sincerely hope that anyone who actually knows him IRL and has his contact information, is getting in touch with him ASAP in order to: (a) help him find a temporary solution for the dogs, and (b) get him to an Emergency Room as quickly as possible Based on his posts in the thread, he is not going to agree to (b) until (a) is in place. |

We can't lose Joker to male stubbornness. The wording in the thread was more concerning than the title....shooting? Geez...thats a volatile situation. |

I'm on the phone with him now. He is talking intelligibly and he seems ok. But he's worried about the dogs. He needs people to step up and help. He has 22 dogs and they need homes. He's not going to abandon his post and go to hospital. He cares more about the dogs than he does about himself. So if you want to help him, adopt a dog. Maybe adopt two. They're all good dogs. So please get a dog. |

| Can we set up a fund that hired help can be engaged in any ways needed? |
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.

I have one of his recues laying in my living room right now and she's a wonderful, friendly dog. I'm out of space, but I would encourage anyone considering getting a dog to take a look at his dogs. He's a damn good judge of dogs and their demeanor. I'm sure many here can attest to the same.

This. He was pretty adamant that the local LE would not take kindly to his canine situation. |
| Just got off the phone with him - he has an open offer from me to head down and help. He's going to see how things go today. |

| I have a Semper Fi rescue dog. I am not far from Joker. I am currently in a wheelchair and ZERO help on taking care of his dogs. If someone is willing to take a week off work and care for his dogs, I'll raffle a gun or 2 to help keep food on your table. I'm deadass serious. |
07/02 manufacturer and dealer. I believe we should all be heavily armed, let me help you get there!

@dk-prof @striker Ok to set up a gofundme that can be used for the dogs/joker? Might be the easiest way to get him funds. |
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. Helen Keller

I dropped a note in the HTF since sometimes the two don’t always cross for members. Hopefully he will take this serious and get medical care. As a alumni of his program I don’t want to see anything put him down for the count. My graduate says come on let’s get this done! Attached File |
