The Spin: If proved to be true, this is an undoubtedly moving story, considering it was due to Rickly’s friends and fans that the thief was caught. It began when friends of the vocalist on Facebook received notifications of “him” joining Instagram, and then they reported the activity to authorities after realizing that his phone was stolen in this gunpoint robbery a few days ago. It’s invigorating to see a fan-base be so zealous that they would go to great lengths to ensure that justice will be served.

I like to think of myself as a musical savant; if I learn anything new about music (or in some way relating to music) I stow it away within the confines of my mind. The more knowledge I have about the industry and music itself, the better I feel. Underoath is the reason I am who I am today. NCIS is the greatest show on television. Fall is the best time of year. Writing is my passion.

    I started the two threads on Reddit asking for people to donate to help out and also trying to get the suspect’s photo circulated. I also contacted New York news agencies with the story and photos. I’m SO happy about this!!
