23-year-old chef arrested for violent threats and guns

Web hater had preps in sights: Threats led to gun bust:

This is a bizarre one. A 23-year-old banquet chef by the name of Darren Thompson was arrested in Shrewsbury, Mass. on Thursday for making threatening comments online and having stockpiled weapons like an AK-47. It’s the targets of his threats that are unusual.

In shockingly graphic online postings, Thompson railed against “mind numbing” pop culture and teens who shop at preppy stores such as Abercrombie & Fitch. He bragged he would one day be “on the news” for a killing spree.

“I’d love to kidnap a teenybopper and cut her up real good before blowing her head off with a shotgun loaded with buckshot,” he wrote in a posting Monday. “That’s what they deserve.”

State police were tipped off to Thompson by someone who read his hatred-filled postings on a fan bulletin board for teen pop star Jesse McCartney.

Why am I writing about this story? This is why…

A Shrewsbury chef who dubbed himself the “teenybopper killa” and cited Columbine killer Eric Harris as an inspiration was nabbed with a stash of weapons after making online threats to snuff out “preppy” teens, authorities said.

Police said they also found a journal in Thompson’s bedroom that referenced Eric Harris, one of two teen outcasts who killed 12 students and a teacher before committing suicide at Colorado’s Columbine High School in 1999.

“Thompson told me that he respected Harris for what he did because Thompson himself was picked on in elementary school and high school,” state Trooper Matthew Murphy wrote in court papers.

This continues a disturbing trend of pathetic morally deficient losers who can’t seem to let go of their high school years. Not unlike Kimveer Gill or Sebastian Bosse. You may say pathetic morally deficient loser is a little harsh. To you, I say this…

Police served a search warrant Thursday night and arrested Thompson at the Shrewsbury home where he lives with his parents.

Some more of his ranting

In a bio on the Internet Movie Database site, he writes of the teen celebs: “They all suck, and don’t deserve the fame they have. Anyone who supports preppy teenyboppers is a (expletive) moron with the intelligence of bird (expletive), and I wish I could meet you so I could smash you in the face and break your (expletive) arms.”

His most violent tirades are saved for teenage girls, some of whom he urges to come to his Shrewsbury home to “fight” him.

“And what the (expletive) does everybody have against a guy hitting a chick? What do girls expect? To be unharmed because of their gender? That’s a (expletive) rip off,” he writes.

He even gives out his Whitehall Circle address and warns that he’ll be “waiting” with his SKS assault rifle, the same type of gun police confiscated from his home.

“This anger I have towards the types of people I hate is only gonna get more intense as I get older,” he writes. “So yeah, I think I will hurt and kill at least one disgusting preppy teenybopper before the decade is over. I can only hope. Watch, I’ll be the guy at the top of the clock tower.”

And here are even more tirades of his from the Jesse McCartney fan site.

So he’s been out of high school for at least 4 years. He’s working as a banquet chef which is probably a lot better than a lot of his class is doing. And yet this mutant still rages on about “preps” and “teenyboppers”. Once you get into the real world there are no more preps and other cliques. There are only other people who you have to cope with in daily life. People like Thompson are no better than the people who allegedly bullied him. Still stuck in a high school mentality. And what did all his hate and thoughts of violence get him? Probably a long stay in prison where he’ll wish he was still being bullied in high school.

    This guy is a creep but I can’t help but noticing you seem to have gone a long ways from talking about when, “Sometimes kids just kill”. I can’t help but think you are trying to make the “kids” seem worse by comparing them with their adult counterparts. Heck your last 3 posts have been about adults over the age of 18.

    1 other thing, you must be kidding if you think theres no cliques in the post high school world. I am in college and if anything it is more cliquey then high school (different types of cliques but still.) And my mom has had problems at a few jobs (as a registered nurse, so not at all some low paying job) because of cliques so bad that she is going back to college where she again has had problems with cliques…. I really think your either deluding yourself or lived a lucky adult life if you think theres no cliques after high school.

    I do not think anyone was foolish enough to say that cliques disappear after high school.

    “Once you get into the real world there are no more preps and other cliques.” Did I misinterpret that or did you just call your idol (or at least partner) foolish.

    Trench is neither my idol nor my partner.
    This is HIS site and I call him “friend”.
    You, on the other hand, are getting a little lippy with me, maybe you should reconsider. I’ll accept your apology in advance and expect you to either improve your attitude towards me or come forth, say what is bothering you and get lost.

    …and yes, Trench IS foolish for using such words. He knows that cliques exist outside the walls of high school. Knowing Trench, I do not think he meant it in the context that his words spelled out… but he should be more careful with his words because he knows they are going to be brought to trial by semantics.

    What I meant was high school cliques. In the real world there are no labels like preps and jocks.

    Ummm just curious, or what?

    I highly doubt I will get lost but what is bothering me is none of you see an inherient problem in trying an emotionally disturbed, developmentally delayed (granted I don’t think you know that he is delayed like that yet), 13 year old as an adult. And the fact the judge feels the same way as you do. The kids going to have his life ruined and no one gives a damn. But thats enough about that.

    He made threats and had the tools to carry those threats through. Should he be punished as though he had gone through with the murders ? absolutely not. His crime is one of petty terrorism and he should tried for his crime and hopefully the proper rehabilitation (as seen fit by the court) will prevent him from doing this again.

    In the meantime, if he has such serious problems that he can not decipher right from wrong, than he should not be among the public and left capable of obtaining assault weapons. Not that he should be tied up and gagged but if he NEEDS help he should be somewhere where he can get help. Not festering in his own emotional disdain and plotting release through murder.

    lastly, I believe that the age of Darrin was 23… not 13. I do not know if that was a typo on your part -or- if you are talking about another story.

    I was speaking about another story, the Joplin story. You can clearly see I don’t give a damn about Darrin but I happen to like Tom, from what I have read so far he is alot like me (does that make me a mutant yet, I have always wanted to be a mutant, can I be magento if so??).

    I don’t know who Tom is offhand. these awful stories meld into one big cluster fuck half the time.

    care to refresh my memory so I can judge you 😛

    Ummm like I said before the Joplin case, several articles about it on the main page. Basically developmentally delayed 13 year old shoots school (note he didn’t shoot anything else) because he finally got tired enough of the constant bullying and everyone wants him to hang. But he will get out at 18 most likely despite what you guys want so :-p. So what mutant am I, I always like Magneto.

    Mutants are people who support school shooting killers. You’re just mildly irritating.

    Once again you use the wrong words. I support Andy Williams, what you should have said is something along the lines of, “Mutants are people who support the school shooting killers actions.” Either that or I am a mutant woohoo!

    actually, you are a pest who it trying to make a mutant out of himself.

    So you stand by this kid because a bully made him shoot a mac-90 at his school ?

    the kid didn’t shoot anything else because the gun jammed. We do not know what would have occurred had the gun not jammed.

    I don’t know if he should be tried as an adult, but he sure as hell should pay for his crime.

    What do YOU think would be best ?

    Your right, I don’t know what would have happened. I do know that he didn’t go in with the intention of killing anyone (nor do I think even the DA believed he did).

    And I really don’t think a bullied autistic/aspie (this is an assumption but his sis/mom agree with me) 13 y/o is an adult.

    Pay for his crime sure, personally I like the Dual Juristiction program for the simple reason you don’t have to decide if a kid could be cured before he has been given the oppourtinity. I wish more states had this but as far as I know only a few do. What do you think should happen to this autistic kid???

    well… the fact that his father is in jail for harboring weapons says a lot. You are the first I’ve heard about White being autistic…. but “He has been charged with first-degree assault, armed criminal action and making a terrorist threat.” which sounds about right to me.

    You do realize he will only ever serve a couple years of that. Supposedly the boys lawyer and mother have heard the DA is pushing for 20 years but I don’t believe it. The boys going into the dual justistiction program (how hard do you think it will be to get 12 people who want to sentence him to 20 years in jail) so why waste tax payers money going for 20 years when 17 will be suspended.

    And I know I am the first that have said that directly but I still doubt I am wrong (not that I have never been wrong about these kinds of things before.) Lets face it Asperger’s still goes undxed, generally because the teachers don’t know enough about it (in Iowa you didn’t have to take any classes in disabilities until early this century I believe so many still haven’t) parents know next to nothing about it, and admins know nothing about the kids (unless their violent when they just slap ODD on the case).

    Sending this boy to jail can only prove to be punitive. He is in need of some rehabilitation/treatment but no one thinks more then a few years. It won’t be a deterant to anyone else in his situation because the case is barely getting out of Missouri, not to mention most kids don’t watch national news (I talked to one of my friends near St. Louis yesterday, about 3 hours away, he knew nothing about the case). That leaves punishment as the only reason to put him away for an increased amount of time.

    I do not think he should get life in prison for a threat, even one that was nearly carried out. If he took a life, I would expect him to lose his life… but that is not the case.

    A couple years punishment is better than a slap on the wrist and him obtaining the mindset that he is untouchable. He needs to be punished for his crime and if he really is mentally handicapped than he needs help with that too.
    Setting him free with an r.o.r. or a.c.u.d. would be neglectful by the courts.

    For once I think we agree, well not about the first part but I think him serving a few years won’t be entirely bad. And he is mentally handicapped at least somewhat (even in the articles it said he is the equivelant of mentally retarded when it comes to thinking on his feet). I just hope his record is wiped and he can persue his new dream of trying to be a counselor.
