  • Alejandro Avila

    Alejandro Avila

    I dare…nay…I defy one person to tell me that this scumbag doesn’t absolutely deserve the death penalty. Alejandro Avila was convicted of kidnapping, raping, and murdering Samantha Runnion…

    Some details from the case…

    Samantha was abducted, kicking and screaming, from outside her home in Stanton on July 15, 2002. Her nude body was found the following day in mountains some 50 miles away, left on the ground as if it had been posed.

    Samantha’s DNA was found on the inside of the door of Avila’s car. That evidence came from a small amount of clear liquid that the prosecution said was consistent with tears or mucous.

    Avila, of Lake Elsinore, had been acquitted of molesting two girls in 2001 in neighboring Riverside County, and authorities said they believe he killed Samantha to avoid another such trial.

    Try and tell me that this assclown doesn’t deserve to be removed from society in the most vicious and excruciating way possible.

    I defy you.

    Bully breakdown:

    Dawn Anna Townsend is the mother of Lauren Townsend, who was killed in the Columbine massacre. Recently, she spoke at a Pennsylvania high school, and she had some interesting things to say…

    “They hated everybody,” Townsend said about the gunmen who killed her daughter. “They hated her (Lauren Townsend) because she breathed and that she was in their way.”

    Townsend said one of the inaccurate reports that came out of the Columbine massacre was that the two murderers were retaliating against athletes who picked on them.

    “They (the killers) were the bullies,” Townsend said.

    Emphasis mine.

    And yet 6 years later, people are still holding on to that myth.

    She also had a lot of great things to say about bullying. The sad part is that I’m sure it fell on deaf ears.

    I remember when I was in school that every time we had some kind of speaker come in to talk to us about some problem, we spent the rest of the day making fun of the presentation. I hope today’s students aren’t like that, but I know that some things never change.

    Not to mention the fact that the reality is there always have been bullies and there always will be. That’s just an unfortunate fact of life. Therefore, it’s up to the schools to realistically do something about bullying. And the parents…

    Townsend also speaks with parents. She reminds parents that their children don’t need them to be their best friends, they need them to be parents.

    “When your child becomes older, then you become best friends,” she said, urging parents, teachers, and especially students, that ignoring suspicious activity in people could have dire consequences.

    “The warning signs are a road map,” she said.

    Emphasis mine.

    It’s just too bad that a lot of people won’t listen to a woman who is saying all the right things. The right things that used to be known as common sense.

  • Another Red Lake Victim

    Another Red Lake Victim

    Wounded Student’s Mother Shows Signs Of Recovery:

    I guess we can officially say the Red Lake shootings have claimed another victim.

    I told you about Jeff May here and how he was shot in the face by Jeff Weise after stabbing Weise with a pencil while trying to defend two girls. After he was shot, Jeff May suffered a stroke. His mother, Jodi May, also suffered a stroke on April 30th. Family members attribute it to the stress of the unimaginable situation that she and her family are going through.

    It’s been a week since Jodi’s surgery, and her family has seen what they believe to be signs that she will recover. Doctors have removed the tube that was draining fluid from her head.

    “She gives us the thumbs up or down when we ask her questions,” Trisha said, the same communication Jeff used during the earliest stages of his recovery.

    “She opens her eyes,” Shane added. “She squeezes our hands when we ask her to.”

    No one can say for sure whether she understands everything they say. But they believe.

    Please keep the May family in your thoughts and prayers.

  • 5/8/05: From The Mail Sack

    5/8/05: From The Mail Sack

    Let’s clear out the mail sack, shall we?

    The first one is from my entry on the Eric Harris journal, of course…

    Beachbaron58 Says:

    I have to respond to the word “coward” since it is used so many times here. Anyone who can do what Klebold and Harris did then pull the trigger with a shotgun in your mouth is no coward to me. They shot and killed other kids at close range not once but many times without batting an eye! These two gave the word “hate” a whole new meaning. I asked myself why I had an interest in the Columbine story and made prints of so much material? Same as everyone else five years later, the story is fascinating sad to say and we all know Columbine was just the begining but no way the end of such things. Other people will try to do better than Klebold and Harris, that is just the way things are.

    What’s scary about this is that in a previous comment, this guy said he was a 46-year-old Navy vet. And to address the issue at hand, yes they were cowards. If I have to explain why you haven’t been paying attention.

    The next one is from my entry about the Columbine death photos…

    Erik and Dylan were solidiers of an radical opinion and they made all us anarchists and anti social revolutionaries realise it is time to make our mark we need to prepare the revolution is at hand it is time for society to stop all these black and white thoughts on right and wrong and listen with an open mind to our opinions on how society should work

    We our the children of cililzed society and the future leaders of this forsaken land that we are forced to dwell soon it will be ours lets get it better suited for our existance

    Ah, yes. No punctuation and almost no capitalization. The true sign of an intellectual. And let’s not forget “An radical opinion” Apparently being an anarchist or an anti-social revolutionary means failing English class. They were not soldiers of an radical opinion. They were psychopathic cowards. They didn’t even have the guts to face the repercussions of their own actions.

    And lastly…

    ERIC AND DYLAN HAVE BEAUTIFUL MINDS. THEY WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY FOR WHAT THEY DID. ERIC IS HOTT, I WOULD GO TO PROM WITH HIM.KISS KISS ERIC R.I.P. WHY DID YOU KILL YOURSELF?

    Thursday May 5, 2005 @ 11:03 pm

    All capitalization is worse than no capitalization. Also, does anyone care to take a guess at what ISP this “person” uses? That’s right, it’s everyone’s favorite polluter of the internet, AOL. Anyway, parents, see what your kids are up to. If this is your kid, they think that two people who killed 13 innocent people are “HOTT”.

    A little supervision goes a long way.

  • Osantowski bond lowered

    Osantowski bond lowered

    Bond lowered for teen accused of threatening massacre:

    Andrew Osantowski’s bond has been lowered from $1.35 million to $530,000. If he were to make bond, he would be placed under house arrest and would have to wear some kind of tracking device. For those of you who may not know who Andrew Osantowski is…

    Osantowski awaits trial, scheduled for June 7, on four charges, including one count of threatening terrorism stemming from chat room e-mails he allegedly wrote about killing students at Chippewa Valley High School in Clinton Township. The messages were sent to Celia McGinty, an Idaho girl he met in an Internet chat room last September.

    My favorite defense attorney/comedian Brian Legghio could not be reached for comment by the Detroit Free Press.

  • Nice mail for once

    Nice mail for once

    Normally, I don’t share my “fan mail” with you because it’s few and far between, and I don’t like to publicly pat myself on the back. But yesterday I received an e-mail from a man named Chuck. More importantly, Chuck is a parent, and he brought up some very valid points that, I thought, were important enough to share with my readers…

    This is from: Chuck

    My hat is off to you, brother. Your viewpoint is a lot like my own. Something does need to be done regarding the violence and other problems within our schools. These problems deal not only with unruly or just plain frigging stupid students but also the schools, school boards, teachers, and I believe most importantly parents. They need to wake the hell up and smell the napalm! I have three kids who have grown up and attended school in six different states throughout this country. They know my unwavering policies regarding morals, you know, right from wrong. Never had a problem because their mom and I became involved and stayed involved in their day-to-day activities. Not to suppress them or their ideas on different aspects of growing and maturing but to instill in them the belief that if something feels down deep inside that something is wrong. IT IS! It may be legal or actually on the verge of becoming so, if it doesn’t feel right it ain’t. Your web site. The info that you have available. Your own opinions and beliefs are commendable. How can you make more people aware of the existence of your site? That’s the question. Do so and you could be a huge part in getting info out to people who may not be aware of some of the lunacy going on in our schools. Thank you, brother. Keep it up. God bless you.

    Thank you, Chuck. If only more parents were like you, we wouldn’t be having these problems.

    But to answer your question, there is something you can do to make more people, specifically parents, aware of my site. Show them my site. E-mail it to them. Physically show them. Whatever it takes.

    Now, of course, they don’t need to see the political stuff or the goofy stuff, but they definitely need to see all the stuff I’ve posted about schools in the past 5 years. Specifically, my stuff about Columbine, Red Lake, Marshfield, Andrew Osantowski, other School violence, my watchlist, even hazing, and most importantly, my Hate Mail so they can see what kids are writing about these days.

    Not to over-inflate my own sense of self-worth, but parents need to be made aware of what’s going on in their schools and possibly with their own kids. Maybe then can these problems be avoided.

    Thanks again Chuck for writing, and this time it was my pleasure.

  • Burrito Lockdown

    Burrito Lockdown

    I’m sure by now we’ve all heard the story about the school that was locked down because a student brought an oversized burrito to school. I’m sure we all had a chuckle out of this because it is pretty funny. However, a lot of people are saying the school overreacted.

    Now that we know it was just a burrito, it’s easy to say the school overreacted. But the question is, would you rather the school have an overreaction or no reaction?

  • Zero Hour

    Zero Hour

    I just finished watching a documentary called Zero Hour: Massacre at Columbine High on the History Channel.

    If you’ve ever had any question about whether or not the two scumbags Harris and Klebold were psychopaths, then you should watch this documentary. It recreated step by step April 20th, 1999 at Columbine High.

    Even though it was recreated by actors, it was kind of disturbing to watch how nonchalantly they carried out their killings.

    However, what really struck me is that the words “bullying” and “harassment” were never mentioned. The one word that was mentioned was “exclusion”.

    The documentary said that Eric Harris said in his journals that he was pissed about being excluded. Which leads me to my newest theory.

    Eric Harris didn’t hate the “jocks” because of bullying, he hated them because of jealousy. He wanted to be them. He wanted to be one of the kids wearing a white baseball cap. He wanted to be popular. But when you’re a psychopathic anti-social little fuck, that makes it kind of hard.

    The documentary also said that Eric Harris had multiple hiding places in his room for the various weapons. The more hiding places you have, the more chances there are to be found out. That is, if Eric Harris’ parents actually did their job and checked up on him.

    As a matter of fact, when word of the shootings got back to Wayne Harris, he called 911 saying that he believed his son was one of the shooters. If he knew something like this could happen, why didn’t he do anything to stop it? Then again, he’s already shown what kind of parent he is.

    It’s on again tonight on the History Channel at Midnight EDT if you want to see it

  • Kyle Hulbert

    Kyle Hulbert

    Almost 4 years ago, I told you the story of Kyle Hulbert. Kyle killed biophysicist Robert M. Schwartz. At the time, I chastised the media for calling in a “ritual” killing. Later, I had heard from a friend of Kyle’s telling me more of Kyle’s situation that Kyle suffered from mental illness, was taken off his meds by a social worker, and that the killing was orchestrated by Schwartz’s daughter, Clara Jane Schwartz.

    Clara had convinced Kyle that her father was abusing her, and killing him would protect her. As it turned out, Clara was in line for a rather large inheritance if her father died.

    Clara was sentenced to 48 years, Kyle was sent away for life without the possibility of parole. Sentencing seems kind of lopsided, doesn’t it?

    Recently, I received an e-mail from another friend of Kyle’s. She told me of Kyle’s website, which documents what has happened to him since the murder.

    He does not deny killing Dr. Schwartz, and feels that he does deserve some of the responsibility in Dr. Schwartz’s death.

    However, he does feel that his sentencing was unjust since the mastermind behind the murder is serving a lesser sentence. I happen to concur. But you don’t have to believe me. Go to Save Kyle and judge for yourself.

  • Columbine Study Halted By Killers’ Parents

    Columbine Study Halted By Killers’ Parents

    Study of ’99 shootings in limbo as killers’ parents end cooperation:

    How fitting is it that on the sixth anniversary of the day their sons slaughtered 13 innocent people, that the parents of those killer scumbags, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, have decided they’re done participating in a study on the Columbine massacre? A study backed by the Attorney General’s office, no less. The timing isn’t just ironic, it’s insulting.

    I wonder why they stopped participating? Since they felt like they did nothing wrong, then what do they have to hide? Maybe the study was getting a little too close to the truth. Maybe the study was going to find possible criminal charges against the parents?

    I guess we’ll never know now because God forbid these parents should face up to their responsibilities.
