Dam-Funk's anger at Antoine Dodson's viral success
Dam-Funk is by all accounts an extremely nice guy, full of supporting words for everyone, so it's pretty clear that Antoine Dodson's “Chimney Intruder,” and/or how Dodson's accidental stardom has spread over the internet among people who might be laughing at and not with the flamboyant rape-attempt victim's brother, must have upset him a lot.

Are people laughing at or with Antoine Dodson?
