  • Casey Anthony’s Facebook

    Casey Anthony has hundreds of online supporters:

    If you haven’t heard about Casey Anthony you’ve been living under a rock you can catch up here.

    Long story short she’s a person of interest in the death of her own daughter, Caylee Marie Anthony. Anybody with half a brain thinks that she had something to with her daughter’s death even though Caylee hasn’t been found yet.

    Those without half a brain have become Casey Anthony’s Facebook friend…

    Casey’s Facebook page is dedicated it to her missing 3-year-old daughter Caylee. On Facebook Casey has a growing list of friends leaving messages of support. She is getting lots of support from strangers from Leesburg to London.

    Amanda wrote: “Keep your head up mom…I’ve been in your shoes before. It’s not the best place to be behind the pointed finger….There is a rainbow after the storm.”

    Maegyn from Michigan wrote…”There is not a night that I don’t pray that when I wake see that she was brought homes safe and sound…”

    It does say at the top of Casey’s pages that the site that says only positive comments. The site is being monitored and her friends from around the world seem to respect that.

    According to the report from FOX 35 in Florida, Casey Anthony has approximately 650 Facebook friends. That’s 650 people who probably think that the word ‘gullible’ is not in the dictionary.

  • No new trial for West Memphis 3

    Judge: No new trial for West Memphis killings:

    Circuit Court Judge David Burnett has denied the request for a new trial for the infamous West Memphis 3.

    Just as I said previously Judge Burnett said that the highly touted DNA evidence does not clear Echols, Baldwin, and Misskelley of any wrongdoing.

    “The court finds that (Echols’) DNA-testing results are inconclusive because they do not raise a reasonable probability that he did not commit the offenses; that is, they are inconclusive as to his claim of actual innocence” Burnett wrote in the order.

    “Proof of actual innocence requires more than his exclusion as the source of a handful of biological material that is not dispositive of the identity of a killer,” Burnett wrote.

    Burnett also said that even if he agreed that the new DNA evidence should be heard in court, he would deny Echols’ request for a trial because there was “not compelling evidence that he would be acquitted.”

    But the WM3 supporters will let their emotions override logic. They’re like the Columbine mutants except with better PR. They glommed on to this case because they can identify with some characteristic of the convicted killers, Echols mostly, then they act like this is the greatest miscarriage of justice of our time. I should know I used to be one of their supporters. I fell for the documentaries but after a while, I realized that they only presented one side of the story. But it’s a cult of personality with Echols at the helm. As I’ve said before they all glom on to Echols, that includes media and the like, and Misskelley and Baldwin are mere afterthoughts.

    Anyway, there’s a reason why their convictions have been upheld by the Arkansas State Supreme Court has upheld their convictions, it’s because they’re guilty and no amount of zealotry is going to change that.

    Speaking of the State Supreme Court, Echols’ fancy San Francisco lawyer, Dennis Riordan, plans on appealing the ruling with the Arkansas Supreme Court. I guess because it’s worked so well in the past.

  • Utah Juggalo crime spree

    hatchetmanglow

    2 teens in clown makeup arrested in possible kidnapping attempt:

    I and my regular readers tend to pick on one group of people more than others when they commit crimes. Mainly for the reason that I’ve never seen one band’s group of fans commit more stupid crimes with their faces painted like mimes. Of course, I’m referring to the Juggalos, fans of the rap group Insane Clown Posse or ICP.

    Now before we go any further let me make it perfectly clear that I don’t think the music made these kids commit crimes. They committed crimes because they’re idiots, plain and simple. Now on to the story.

    An 18 and a 15-year-old Juggalo tried to kidnap a 5-year-old boy in Salt Lake City over the weekend while they had their faces painted like idiots. The 5-year-old managed to get away and ran back to his house for help which should tell you what kind of criminal masterminds they are. Police caught up with them with their faces still painted.

    This was not the first run in Utah police have had with Juggalos. Just recently 21-year-olds Cody Jesse Augustine, of West Jordan, and Scott Tyler Stapley, of Murray were arrested for a July 29th attack on a teen. The pair are accused of attacking the teen with a knife and a replica battle-ax in which the victim received life-threatening injuries.

    Am I saying that all Juggalos are criminals? No, of course not. There just seem to be a disproportionate amount of them that are.

    I wonder if this is where the term ‘assclown’ came from.

    Thanks to Jennifer for the tip.

  • Ernesto Gonzalez may have had an accomplice

    Accomplice May Have Helped Kidnap Giovanni:

    Police in Lynn, Mass. are looking into the possibility that Ernesto Gonzalez had an accomplice in the disappearance of his son Giovanni Gonzalez.

    They are also saying that since Ernesto Gonzalez had no transportation of his own they’re looking into public transportation for clues.

    Investigators are also saying that there’s no reason to believe that Giovanni is dead.

    I wish I was that optimistic.

    Police urge anyone with information about Giovanni’s whereabouts to contact Lynn police at 781-595-2000.

  • A murderer’s disguise

    Mr. A shot me an e-mail the other day saying that he found the MySpace of Brian Draper. For those of you who don’t know Brian Draper and his cohort Torey Adamcik were two teens sentenced to life in prison for the brutal murder of 16-year-old Cassie Jo Stoddart.

    Draper is not only a vicious killer but he’s also an admitted mutant, the term I use for ‘fans’ of Columbine.

    I figured that the MySpace was probably a leftover before he went into prison and probably contained the incoherent ramblings of a teenage monster. Imagine my surprise when this is what I stumble on.

    Many things have happened since the last time I updated this page: I have moved to the prison in Boise, Idaho, and I am in a transition stage that may last a couple of weeks. Following the transition I will be moved to a new location in Boise.

    I want you all to know that I am hanging in there. Things get rough from time to time, and I don’t go a week without breaking down at least once. But overall my life is ok. I keep busy by going to religious services, attending educational classes (creative writing, computers), writing, reading and playing a lot of chess. I am also able to play the piano down at the chapel. I play piano for church services, and for an hour a week I can play the piano in solitude. I wrote a song dedicated to everything that has happened, called Sorrows and Sunrises.

    Obviously, this wasn’t written by Draper for a number of reasons. The first being I don’t think Draper could form a coherent sentenced if you spotted him the noun and the verb. Secondly, most prisons don’t allow their inmates to have access to the internet. Lastly, Draper and Adamcik have kind of become the poster boys for the people who believe that teens shouldn’t be charged as adults. For example…

    Currently I am in the appeals process, so that maybe someday I can be released and start redeeming myself on the outside, like I am doing now, on the inside. I am in the STOP program here, which is a program that brings kids into the facility, and inmates speak with them about being a good person and staying out of trouble. I am one of those inmates that speak to the kids.

    If my appeal for reduction of sentencing is thrown out, then I will be content with the life I have. We must think about what we do have, not about what we don’t have. We must set goals and strive to meet them. If I spend the rest of my life locked in a prison, I will rise above that. If God wants me to stay here, then this is where I will stay.

    I will leave you with two good sayings: “I wept because I had no shoes till I saw a man who had no feet.” “Two men looked out through prison bars; one saw mud, the other stars.”

    Thanks again for all your support, I hope and pray you are all doing well.

    I love you all, and thank you for believing in me. Never forget Cassie Jo Stoddart.

    Your friend,

    Brian

    Who I’d like to meet:

    Hemingway, Albert Einstein, Richard Wilbur, and James P. Gills

    First off he gave up any right of talking about Cassie Jo Stoddart, especially after he said this on videotape after her murder.

    “Just killed Cassie, we just left her house, this is not a f***ing joke,” says Brian Draper on the homemade videotape. “I’m shaking,” replies Adamcik.”I stabbed her in the throat and I saw her lifeless body just disappear,” says Draper.

    I highly doubt someone who did this is capable of all these ‘feel good’ statements and if he is going through all these programs I’m sure it’s all for show. I also noticed the lack of negative comments on his MySpace. Brutal killers usually get slammed with ‘see you in hell’ kind of comments which leads me to believe that not only was this crap written by someone else but it’s also being severely moderated.

    Lastly, I doubt the people he wants to meet or Hemingway and Einstein. It’s probably more like Manson, Dahmer, Harris, and Klebold.

    Someone who slashes a girls throat just for the thrills and brags about it on tape isn’t going to change his stripes this quickly let alone ever.

     

  • MySpace predator busted by Homeland Security

    MySpace tip leads to suspect’s arrest:

    32-year-old Celestino Paguyo of Riverside, California was arrested on charges of contacting a minor with the intent to commit a sexual offense.

    Paguyo convinced a 16-year-old girl he met over MySpace to meet with him. He picked her up from school where according to the article he persuaded her to perform a sex act on him. Paguyo posed as a 20-year-old.

    It seems that someone tipped of MySpace to Paguyo’s activities who in turn may have told the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children who tipped off Homeland Security.

    Now Homeland Security has seized Paguyo’s computer and are hoping to charge him with federal crimes.

  • The LHC is not going to kill us all

    This is for all the those cowering in fear of the alleged coming Apocalypse that is supposed to be brought on by the Large Hadron Collider.

    To form black holes, the Large Hadron Collider would need to generate many billions of times more energy than it can, according to Jonathan Feng, a theoretical particle physicist at the University of California, Irvine.

    And even if black holes formed, he said, they would be smaller than protons—which fit in the nuclei of atoms—and would evaporate in a miniscule fraction of a second, “long before they could grow by [absorbing] other matter,” he wrote.

    That’s from National Geographic. So stop being a bunch of pansies and Luddites.

  • Convicted killer Capano has one option

    Convicted killer Capano has one option | delawareonline | The News Journal

    The U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals has denied a petition from the once wealthy and politically connected Capano for a rehearing of his murder case by the entire court.

    This means Capano’s only legal option in his effort to overturn his conviction for the 1996 murder of Anne Marie Fahey is to petition the U.S. Supreme Court in the next 90 days.

    As closer to Tom Capano gets to exhausting his appeals I do a merry little jig inside. It’s just too bad this scumbag got out of his death sentence.

    If you’re unfamiliar with the case Tom Capano was a highly connected Delaware lawyer. He had an affair with the then governor’s secretary Anne Marie Fahey and eventually killed her. He dumped her body off the coast of South Jersey and the body was never found. During the investigation and trial Capano was a smug prick. Anything bad that happens to him makes me happy.

  • Shooting victim sues craigslist

    Victim sues Craigslist, says shooter got gun through site:

    50-year-old Calvin Gibson of New York was shot by local resident lunatic, Jesus Ortiz, back in July. Luckily Mr. Gibson survived even though he was shot six times.

    Ortiz, who suffers from schizophrenia, confessed to police that he purchased the gun on craigslist. I’m going to assume that this was not what you would call a ‘legal’ purchase.

    So now Mr. Gibson is suing craigslist for $10 Million.

    “Defendant owed a duty to the public at large to monitor and supervise what may be bought and sold and by whom, with respect to its Internet ads,” attorney Paul Dalnoky wrote in the lawsuit filed in Manhattan Federal Court.

    Wait a minute. According to craigslist their users flag ads for illegal sales and that it’s a bastion of users with good moral character. It was hard to type that without busting out into fits of laughter.

    craigslist had their usual response…

    Craiglist did not respond to a request for comment.

    Quelle surprise.

  • No Connection Between Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR) Vaccine And Autism, Study Suggests

    Link

    We found no relationship between the timing of MMR vaccine and the onset of either GI complaints or autism.”

    Not that this will convince the Luddites of anything. They’d rather have their kids die of infectious diseases than embrace current scientific data. As much as I feel for kids with autism a lot of their misinformed parents have elevated it to almost a zealous religion of sorts.
