Mike Watson and Empire Arcadia Engage in Open Hostilities Over Legal Rights to Fundraiser

A legal battle is brewing as members of Empire Arcadia have claimed exclusive rights over any and all fundraising events to be held in support of Nelson "Remix" Reyes and his family.
Citing what appears to be non-sensical legal jargon, Michael "Yipes" Mendoza wrote via his Facebook account that Super Arcade owner Mike Watson, referred to as "the staff", had "not talk to his family like the reyes family and his brothers and sisters of Empire arcadia..." and had absolutely no right to assist in running a fundraiser to put toward costs associated with Mr. Reyes' funeral services. Mr. Triforce Johnson, Empire Arcadia's Chief Legal and Exploitation Expert added, "We have a problem then."
Mr. Watson did not take kindly to this interpretation of the law, and went on a tirade via the IEBattleGrounds Twitch.tv channel, repeatedly referring to Mr. Mendoza and Mr. Johnson as "bitches" and "faggots", adding that the fundraiser "wasn't even my idea" and declaring his intent to "beef" with the two men if they did not apologize to him within ten minutes. The declared time period has since elapsed without an apology from Mr. Mendoza and/or Mr. Johnson, and FGCNN experts believe that this marks the initiation of hostilities among involved parties.

Neither Mr. Watson, nor Mr. Mendoza or Mr. Johnson could be reached for comment, but Mr. Mendoza did say via his Twitter account that "this isn't about beef [...] just know there will be no retaliation on our end", and Mr. Johnson added, "Forward movement." Mr. Watson commented via Twitch.tv chat that "you cant even retaliate if you wanted to you mother fuckers" and "ill beat both their ass at the same time and take bets on it. whatever i win ill donate to nelson's family how bout that mother fuckers". FGCNN is actively investigating whether motherfucker is spelled with or without a space.

FGCNN recommends in times of grief to resist the urge to act like a studio gangster in gaming chatrooms, no matter how therapeutic it may be to act like a teenager when you're over 30 years old. It is also recommended to avoid claiming false legal rights to fundraisers for deceased individuals, as that doesn't really make any sense. Both actions may be construed as being disrespectful to the surviving family as well as hella dumb.
