  1. The sad thing about this murder is that the security officer’s murder does not in and of itself mean that the drug dealing thug will get the death penalty in Virginia.

  2. He is a known affililiate of a street gang called Pound Property, which is an affiliate of S.O.D.B. records (Straight Off Da Block), who is already facing marijuana and cocaine possesion charges himself, he deserves nothing better then torture for kiling our kids with drugs and then killing a good person because he’s not old enough!!

  3. We have loss a great man to the ones that have known him.. For someone to go out to promote and do his job one min and the next be died. For some s.o.d.b want to be, that wasn’t old enough to party u can run but u can’t hide. The streets will get you cause Dasan was a well known man and damn good one. So better hope the cops get you even know you deserve more then what the state will dish out know that THREE BUITFUL children and WIFE don’t have DAD or a HUSBAND to hold them any more……

    Dasan Richardson

  4. Yungin, why don’t you sit next to him, so when Justice comes you can get served too.
    I hope you understand in your young, dumb, and convoluted mind, what has happened.
    You may not know Dasan, or you very well may, either way he is a father to three beauitful children that now because of your “Friend” they all get to grow up without a father, all of the things a father can and does do for their child, NOW A REAL FATHER, not a sperm donor, now can not be done!
    There is a women who has had a man love her, hold her, and be her man since high school years (Over a decade) that now when she rolls over at night will not have him there anymore. She will have an emptiness, he has been part of her life for better then half of her life. Thanks to “Bebe” she will no longer have him there, now she needs him the most, in her time of need, he is not able to be there, “Bebe” robbed them both of that.
    What I think you don’t know, is not only was Dasan a VERY GOOD MAN, he was also very well connected to alot of people within the communities. All walks of life knew and loved Dasan for who he was. Dasan never cared what your up bringing was, nor did he care what you have done in your past, as long as you were respectful, you were respected.
    Now, with all of this said, “Bebe” can run, “Bebe” can hide, “Bebe” can feel like a man for now, but “Bebe”, PP, SODB, and everyone else associated with them have awoken something much bigger then they ever realized, when this giant force comes for them, they will all regret any affiliation with what has happened.
    So tell “Bebe”, “Rell”, “Gecci”, “Verl”, “Don Won”, “Tate”, “Slash”, and all the other bustas (Too many to name right now), the beast is awake, hide now, before the streets find them, they don’t realize what they have done, they need to come to peace with life before it’s over.
    Patience is a virtue best held for those in situations like this, but when the fuse of patience runs out, the beast is free.
    These are not threats, these are nothing more then knowledge of what has been done. For I know Dasan, I know the people he associates with, and I know that he is a very good person, with very good intentions in life, but there are alot of not so happy people because of this. All of them keeping there eyes open for everyone of you!
    So turn towards the man, because he is your only savior at this point, him and the “Lord above”!!
    Happy hunting!!

    RIP
    Big D!

  5. May you RIP “D” you will be missed! Now having said that may I ask what kind of individual trashes a man killed just trying to do his job?and then goes on to give a thumbs up to the pathetic “BOY” responsible for taking this Man’s life???What kind of bad upbringing did you have “YUNGIN”??????You need god in your life! I pray that you educate yourself on karma- let me just say it comes back to you 10 fold, & by the way you have presented yourself on here I m sure you have alot of bad vibes coming your way! You really should take your ass to church!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  6. Dasan was a good person that I have known for at least 15 years. When we were younger I always had people picking on me since I was little, but Dasan was always there to have my back. We never had to fight as soon as he stepped up everyone decided it wouldn’t be good to beat on the little white boy. There had been many times it was a group of people that wanted to beat on me but Dansan always stayed beside me and always helped me out with everything. And as far as the people that say fuk Dasan I hope you die a very painful death and I am sure you will get what is coming to you. Then right before you die I hope someone pisses on you because for you to say something about that man your not worth sh*t RIP Dasan

  7. Hey “yungin” Being in a gang does not make you “hard” or “real” it just shows how big of a punk you are. Why do you have to fight with a gun and not your hands? too scared? Being in a gang leads to, 2 places: the morgue, or prison. So you might want to change that name to straight off da cell block, have fun in prison loser. RIP Dasan Ka’Wila Richardson

  8. Having attended the funeral of this man, seeing the shell he walked around the world in laying there, it just brings back memories of years and years of the good things he did in life.
    There were Many people who stood up and spoke of the many good things he has done for them, like helping other people’s kids with there homework when they could not, helping someone who was on their death bed keep affairs in order (Finacially and physically) until they actually made a recovery, young entrepreneurs get their start and feet off the ground, business men learn how to conduct business the right way, many friends and family members always talking about his big smile and how no matter what was wrong he would always be right there as a voice of reason and support.
    The list goes on and on, but it all ended, the rock which held so many people together has been taken, by someone who wants to be “Hard”. A young person who’s family didn’t raise him with the morals that keep this society functioning everyday. Maybe they were afraid of Social Services if they were to put their hands on the child for his wrong doings, maybe they just didn’t care like so many parents do today.
    When I was brought up I knew if I did wrong, my ass was gonna hurt for it, I also knew if I were to wrong someone it would come back on me 10 fold, I learned alot of lessons, respected all who respected me, and gave to those in need.
    Sure everyone has done things they are not proud of in life, things that if they could go back they would take back, but the level in which this action has occured is not something that you can just regret, this was a lack of proper development and he as well as others are infecting todays youth with their stupid ways, where they make it look cool to do what they do.
    I think they should find this boy, and show the world the form of torture he is to go through for his actions, maybe then it will show it isn’t so cool. For his stupid temper, lack of respect, and fear of the man he shot, has taken away and called home a great man, someone whom everyone who ever showed him respect looks back and loves every moment they had with him.
    Dasan, you will be missed by many, probably even more then you realized before your passing, 1 Love!
    “Bebe” you will be hunted, someone will find you one day and when they do your life is over, the whole reason this started is because you wanted into a club when you were too young, guess what, your never gonna be able to see the inside of a club at the legal age, you can only hide for so long. So your actions did what for you?
    Let this be a lesson to all of you wannabe “Thugs” these actions get you no where, if you want to die, damn it just kill yourself, no need to hurt others out there who haven’t done anything to you, and if you want to go to prison because prison is a “Cool” place to be, then go steal something from a big store and let them catch you doing it, your still be able to serve time, but you will have a chance to see the outside of those bars one day, if you want to kill someone, that is your ultimate goal in life, then get locked up and do it in there, where the rest of the people like you are!
    I think the only reason he left and came back is because he knew he was no real man, he couldn’t square off with the guys at the club, he couldn’t be a John Wayne, he was afraid, he was a little girl trying to be a man, so he had no other choice, he felt punked so in his fit of rage and fear he killed a very good man, just trying to help enforce the rules set forth by the State of Virginia.

  9. Caught! The Police have caught Brandon Lee Smith as of this morning! Wonder how many people are soon to be arrested with him? I hear he is singing like a song bird!

  10. Murder suspect captured outside Colonial Beach

    Date published: 1/22/2008

    BY KEITH EPPS

    A man wanted for a Jan. 12 slaying at a Fredericksburg nightspot was captured early yesterday in Westmoreland County.

    Brandon Lee Smith, 19, was taken into custody without incident shortly before 2 a.m. at a home just outside Colonial Beach, police said.

    Smith is charged with first-degree murder in connection with the shooting death of 30-year-old Dasan Ka’Wila Richardson.

    Richardson was working as a bouncer at Mi Casa Restaurant in Central Park when he was shot twice in the chest with a .45-caliber gun during an altercation involving Smith and others, police said.

    Fredericksburg police quickly identified and charged Smith in the slaying, but were unable to find him until yesterday.

    Police said that Smith, also known as “BeBe,” is a member of the gang “Pound Property,” a gang which operates primarily in Colonial Beach, King George and Westmoreland.

    Details regarding what led to Smith’s apprehension were sketchy yesterday, but city Lt. Eddie Delano said the key tip regarding Smith’s whereabouts was received by the Colonial Beach Police Department.

    Beach police and Westmoreland deputies later went to the house and surrounded the residence. Smith walked out and gave himself up.

    He was later turned over to Fredericksburg detectives and is being held without bond in the Rappahannock Regional Jail.

    According to police, Richardson was working for a promoter who had rented Mi Casa for a “hip-hop” event.

    Shortly after 1 a.m. that morning, Smith was forcibly removed from the building because he is underage and because event sponsors recognized him as someone who had caused problems at prior events.

    Court records state that Smith returned five to seven minutes later with several other associates and got into a fight with bouncers.

    Richardson was shot at point-blank range.

    Smith also has drug trials pending next month in Fredericksburg Circuit Court.

  12. Yungin, you think your slick huh… So you are saying you were there inside the club when he got shot huh? I don’t think so, all of your boys ran afterwards, they ran off screaming, “Bebe” was weak and couldn’t stand up to the man, we has a little Biotch, he was afraid so he pulled a pistol and shot him, just cause ya’ll ain’t nothing but weak ass biotches!
    Ya’ll like to chill outside the club every Friday night and act hard, tryin to talk your way into it, holla’n at the girls as they roll through, actin the fool, tryin to be something your not. Guess your use to that huh? Ya know “Gangsta”, ya’ll ain’t nothing but some Colonial Beach wanna be “gangstas”.

    It’s not society’s fault your momma was a welfare hooker, you gotta live off in the country cause she can’t afford anything else! She was too busy spending time with your “Clients” to care about you, or your up bringing! But we will all have to deal with you for a little while, until you catch the morgue or the cell. Until then tell your momma I need Change from that $5 I gave her last night, she wasn’t worth $2.
    I have heard ya’lls “Beats and Flow”, only thing I hear is some Yungins tryin to be something they are not, all ya’ll need to grow up and get real lives.
    If ya’ll are so hard, why your boy just walk out like a Biotch and give himself up? That ain’t very hard now is it? He straight up bitched out when the man was there. If he is so hard, then why ain’t he do something then? Just proof ya’ll ain’t shit, but shit talkers! I didn’t see Scarface just walk out, now he was hard, what are you?
    Ya’ll know how to use your mouth well, guess you learned it from your momma when she was doing good tricks huh? You really just don’t know what you have started, but it’s cool. Patience, young dumb one, patience!
    Feel free to keep posting stupid thing like this all you want, it only allows there to be more fuel to the outcome! Ya’ll are weak and you know it, ya’ll ain’t shit, and you know it, ya’lls time is coming, and you know it. Wanna act hard, be hard. Quit hiding behind a computer and say your real street name, better yet, your real name!
    Until that day comes, We’ll all know your nothing but a frontin, little boy, hiding in your little ghetto ass country house, trying to be something your not!
    You need Jesus in your Life, maybe then you can find some usefulness on this planet. Until then tell your momma gimme my change, and go find your little wanksta boys, go visit “Bebe”, and wait cause time will tell what you really are!

  15. The name is T-Dogg, it’s tatted and all, fear is not a factor here.
    If you were trying to flow, it was weak, just like you and your crew!
    I’m sure you got more mooney then we do, mooney is showing your ass, we got paper! If you thought you were spelling money, damn playa your real funny, go back to school, cause it is just further proof you are a fool.

    Looking at your grammer and your spelling, I don’t know who you think your telling, a damn thing too, go back to school, you need to grow up and learn something real, before you can claim to know the deal, your still a weak ass child trying to play a man, sitting on the other side of the computer doing all you can, to try and make a name for yourself in this world, but all your doing is looking like a little girl, so go to school, go to church, go somewhere before you get yourself hurt… YOUNGIN!!!!!!
    Your name says it all!!!
    Poppin caps, and bustin fools, in your stupid mind is something cool, you wanna be big you wanna be strong, you must ride the short bus cause your all wrong! Wake up Grow up get a clue about how life goes, or don’t and end up like your momma and all the other hoes! It’s your choice in what you do from now on, but keep this up and all you’ll get is gone!
    Stop the craziness within you head, go home kiss momma and lay in your bed, get a good nights sleep and rest well, because all your current actions are leading you to hell, down there you can act the fool all you want to, here in the real world there are consequences for your actions, where’s “bebe’s” boys now where’s all his backin. Your boys got your back until your run at fun is done, then what happens to you where do you come? You sit in a grave or a cell rotting away all alone, saying playa I was hard just like Al Capone, when your mind and body are rotting away, your “Boys” will still be able to play, doing what they do, until the end up like you.

    Say what you want, do what you do, you’ll see youngin, it’ll all come true!!

    If your alive 6 years from now ask “bebe” was it worth it……. Then asking him if all the “Boys” are keepin it real with him, then ask him where all his boys at…… if the answer isn’t dead or in jail too, I bet it won’t be staying true!

  16. This post was to be about Dasan, and the actions of this young punk “Bebe”.
    RIP Big D, 1 Love!
    Yungin if you want to keep being disrespectful, why don’t you start a site elsewhere and post a link here!
    For all of you who know D, no disrespect meant, but Yungin got issues and I can’t let him run his mouth without something said back, for those of you who have known D for a long time, you will recognize the name and know who it is, 1 Love!

    RIP, D……… keep a seat for me!

  18. Once again you have proven your grammer and knowledge to be that of a fool! Yungin Stay in School because your ass obviously needs the education! You act all hard and say you got flow, but all I see on here is you blow your gums open and shut, but really yungin you ain’t got the guts!
    Let’s see if you really have it in you! Let’s see what your all about! Stop repeating yourself on here, cause you just keep saying the same thing over and over again, you act like you did what “Bebe” is in jail for. But the truth is, you were at home sucking on your Mom’s Titty!
    By the way you and your crews house’s ain’t big like those who have money (or let’s spell it your way Mooney). So once again you have proven yourself to run your mouth, but not really be about what your saying.
    Let’s end it right here, let’s stop all the gum flapping your doing, your being called out, show what your made of, show me you got what it takes and your not just running your mouth, Next Friday night……… show me how hard you really are, Mr. Murda Mind, I’m tired of you running your mouth, I know what I’m about, off Fall Hill Ave, before Normandy, after Forest Village, there is a little cut road, it’s a dirt road, goes back to the River. 11pm be on that road, you might want to bring a flash light if your afraid of the dark. It’s right around the corner from one of ya’lls chill spots. Not far at all from where “Bebe” did his thing. Let’s see what your working with!
    Until then Shut your Mouth Little Boy, you’ve been called out ……… either be a man, or Shut up! Cause you ain’t done a damn thing yet but show your a disrespectful little biotch, who ain’t got shit! Either Show up or Grow up, enough said!
    That is if your Momma will let you off her hoe ass titty long enough!
    No more excuses, no more proof of your foolishness, no more disrespect to a man who has more respect, honor, loyalty, and is definetly more of a soldier in his little toe, then you will EVER have in your whole body.
    Funny thing is you act like you were there, if you were, you would know we was unarmed, he held how many of you back by himself, and once ya’ll went runnin off he made sure everyone else was alright, back inside and safe, and didn’t even act like he was hurt until he knew everyone was OK, then he fell out. Even in his last moments of life, he never showed weakness.
    Your Boy pulled a pistol on someone who was doing there job and was unarmed. He couldn’t hurt you little boys like he was capable of doing even if he wanted to, he was keepin the peace as part of the club scene. Ya’ll are “hard” because you shot an unarmed man at point blank range, who even when shot kept on moving, he took two to the chest, and just kept on going, ya’ll ran out like girls screaming afterwards, and didn’t come back when live fire was available to fly back, who has hard?
    Keep in mind when that happened no one was ready for you, ya’ll were little girls who couldn’t fight anyway, you were scared then, just like you are now! Ya’ll did what….. shot an unarmed man because you couldn’t beat him 4 on 1 in a fight!
    Tell the real story of how the night went, ya’ll rushed the door and he kept you out, all of ya’ll came “hard”, got shut down, once you ALL got pushed back out from under the awning, ya’ll tried to fight, you were losing, so you shot him, when he was unarmed and just trying to keep all of you Young ass Bustas out of a club you weren’t even suppose to be in, gonna make a rap to that about how that is hard?
    Sounds like all ya’ll involved was WEAK!!! So let the whole world know the truth before you act hard! Cause that’s all it is, is an ACT!! Scene 1, cut, Scene 2, roll’em!!

  19. meet me 2nite at the harrison road community center at 12 dont waer a vest because i shoot head shots and how many times do i have to tell your bitch ass i do not rap so stop sayin dat shit pussy and you said nobody came back when ya’ll were armed ya’ll pussies iam always strapped when i hit da club lmao and as far as da shit wit yo mans retaliate or shut da fuk up

  20. Yungin shut your young ass up your stupid ass isn’t old enough to get in a club. Carry your stupid ass back to high school and learn some English and spelling.
