Tobin Kerns’ attorney, William McElligott, said that he is going to file a motion to suppress evidence taken from the Kerns’ home. His argument is that the search warrant was obtained on information from Joseph Nee who is now a co-defendant. From the article…
McElligott said he will seek to nullify the search warrant Marshfield police obtained for their search of Kerns’ home. Search warrants should be based on the statements of an ‘‘informant who is reliable,” he said.
While I think this is great news for Toby, I can’t help but ask, wouldn’t this also mean that evidence seized couldn’t be used against Joe Nee either?
Mr. McElligott is also looking into Joe Nee’s “no criminal record” by looking into an alleged assault at a skate park where no charges were filed against Nee, but the victim required medical treatment. He is also looking into the police histories of Daniel Farley and Joseph Sullivan, two teens who will testify as witnesses, but some say are also involved.
UPDATE: According to this article, Nee’s attorney, the always amusing and perverted cop defender Thomas Drechsler, plans to file for a change of venue. He says the media coverage would make it impossible to find a partial jury in Plymouth County.
Police have arrested two more people in connection with the New York State mall shooting. Kenneth Stine and Liborio Valguarnera, both 25, were arrested Monday night for violating federal explosive laws…
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms said the two were holding onto an arsenal of weapons, as well as information and videos on how to build pipe bombs. It seems police spotted the two men on a videotape found in Bonelli’s house. All three were seen making and detonating pipe bombs.
No word yet on whether or not these two are mutants too, but I wouldn’t lay odds against it.
UPDATE: According to this Newsday article, the ATF found nine long guns, a handgun, ammunition, and a pipe bomb fuse were found at Stine’s house.
DA: Suspected mall gunman was fascinated with the Columbine massacre:
(Log in info) Well, this is an interesting turn of events. It turns out that the gunman who opened fire in the Hudson Valley Mall in New York is, in fact, a mutant.
Robert Bonelli, 24, wounded two people in the mall, including a National Guard recruiter who may lose his leg. Bonelli faces 25 years. Police found a cache of what they call “Columbine memorabilia” in the house that he shares with his father…
“We may never know specifically what his intentions were, or what his motivations were,” Williams said. “However, we are deeply disturbed and troubled by the recovery of Columbine memorabilia from his property.”
It will be interesting to see what motive, if any, comes out of this.
This is like watching a bad episode of Law & Order. Andrew Osantowski’s lawyer, Brian Legghio, is trying to get the internet messages he sent to Celia McGinty dismissed because they don’t prove the accusations of the terrorism charges. Oh, really? How about a little sample from the chat transcript?

Sounds like terroristic threats to me. Nothing is more pathetic than a desperate attorney in the media.
Panzerfaust Records is no more. I first told you about the white supremacist record company here.
For those of you who don’t remember, Panzerfaust tried distributing their racist music free to schoolchildren in something called “Project Schoolyard” in order to recruit new members to the White Trash…I mean White Supremacy movement.
Well, in a delicious turn of irony that would make Alanis Morissette crap her pants, Panzerfaust has closed over a dispute between two of its owners over racial heritage.
One of the owners, Byron Calvert, accused the other, Anthony A. Pierpont, of having a Mexican mother and having sex with Thai prostitutes.
Calvert wanted the Pierpont to take a DNA test, I’m guessing to prove his “racial purity”. Pierpont refused, and Calvert closed the company.
Maybe this is a sign of things to come and all the racist scumbags will take each other out. We can only hope.
And there’s nothing worse than a rankled mutant. Anyway, I found this posted on a pro-mutant message board. And by mutant I mean people who either worship or sympathize with the Columbine killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold or who feel they were justified in killing 13 people. Yes, there are actually people like this out there.
This guy’s hobby is to look for websites that don’t conform to The Lords of Denial. He claims to have downloaded a large number of them onto CD’s and turned them over to “law enforcement authorities.” Wow. My hero. He’s going to save civilization from the retaliation of its whipping boys. And like all of the other self appointed saviors of society, he claims to have been bullied too. Of course, he got over it like a good, little conformist and became a productive citizen, free from latent anger. Perhaps if all the other victims of community sanctioned sadism would just realize what their true place in the natural order of things was, we wouldn’t have any arguments.
Heil Hoffschneider!!
That’s called forgetting history. Historians are always warning us not to do that.
So let me get this straight. Rather than moving on from what happened to me in school, I should just ball it up inside and carry it with me until my dying days? No, thanks. If you do that, then the assclowns who bullied you are still bullying you. Why would you want to let them win? The old saying goes, “Living well is the best revenge”. If you’re going to carry around that hate with you for the rest of your life, then you’re not living well. That makes me feel sorry for you.
The mail has been piling up here, and I’ve been putting it off for so long I’m now two weeks behind on it. I’m in the middle of posting my replies, but it’s probably going to take me all week to finish up.
However, I got a comment today that I felt required my immediate attention. For those of you that have been following the events in Marshfield, Mass. you’ll know that I’ve been saying that I’ve gotten a ton of responses in support of Tobin Kerns but none for Joe Nee. Well, that changed today. I got a comment from someone claiming to be a relative of Nee on my “Lost Boys” entry…
It’s really to bad that when something like this happens people are really quick to point fingers. All the boys are just as responsible for all that happened. Joe Nee is not the ringleader he’s an easy target for angry parents. What you should really be doing is thanking him for preventing disaster. Toby might say he was going to tell but he didn’t Joe did. Joe is such an easy target because of who his father is and his problems. We should be just as angry with all the other boys. They cant possibly be such angels if they were at all involved in this. So what i’m trying to say is Joe is a kind-hearted kid who made a stupid choice he along with his friends will pay for it. I highly doubt this was all Joes’ idea. And just so everyone who reads this knows Joes family is great, as any family with a troubled kid has they have made mistakes but they still remain some of the nicest caring people I have ever met. Thank You —April (Joes cousin) we all make mistakes some bigger than others nobodies perfect!!!!
Comment by april Nee — Sunday Jan 30, 2005 @ 10:34 am
My opinions on Joe Nee have been well documented on this site, so in the interest of fairness I am going to refrain from commenting on this except for saying this is the first time since Joe Nee’s arrest that one of his supporters has commented. I had someone on my site defending Tobin Kerns within a week of his arrest.
I found this to be an interesting article about Pat Ireland. For, those of you who may not remember, Pat Ireland was the student at Columbine High who was pulled from the window by police after being shot twice in the head and once in the foot by the scumbags Harris and Klebold.
Prior to the shooting, he had a 4.0 grade average. He graduated co-valedictorian with a 3.9. Then he went on to graduate magna cum laude from Colorado State. All this after 17 months of physical therapy and relearning how to walk and talk and read and write. So what did Pat Ireland do to Harris and Klebold that deserved being shot in the head twice? Nothing…
Ireland, who didn’t know either of the assailants, escaped with his life.
Pat Ireland could have easily been the 14th cross just for being in the library. 3 bullets ripped through his flesh, but he didn’t know either gunman. He was partially paralyzed, yet he didn’t know either of them. He had to relearn the use of his motor skills, but he never knew his attackers until that day.
Yet, some people have the nerve to say the shootings were justified.
One of the greatest pleasures in my life is when I get my hands on the latest installment of one of my favorite video game franchises. That happened this weekend when I picked up a copy of Suikoden IV.
The Suikoden series is my second favorite series, only behind Final Fantasy. As a matter of fact, Suikoden II is my favorite video game of all time. That should tell you how great of a game it was. The fact that a copy of Suikoden II is going for upwards of $100 a pop on E-bay for a PSOne game should also tell you how good it was. Having said that, Suikoden IV was a little bit of a letdown.
What Was Wrong: Suikoden IV was way too short. II took over 30 hours. III took over 40 hours. IV can legitimately be beaten in 20 hours. That’s too short for an RPG (Role Playing Game) for the PS2.
In each of the Suikodens, the main goal is always to recruit 108 characters. Some are a little more challenging than others. The majority of the characters in IV were too easy to recruit. The majority of them, you just walk up to them and they join you.
The cut scenes ended so abruptly it became an annoyance throughout the game. No fade to black, just END.
The game takes place 100 years before the events of Suikoden I. If I didn’t look that up online, I would have never known. Nowhere in the game that I saw was that ever mentioned.
They knocked down the members of your party from 6 to 4, which is ok, but if you’ve played previous Suikodens, you have to rethink your whole strategy now.
In previous Suikodens, you could tell the combo moves just by putting the people in the same party. With IV, you have to guess which party members may have a combo move, then wait as they level up for their combo move to develop if they have one.
Lastly and most importantly, there is no file transfer function. In Suikodens II and III, you could upload your saved game file from the previous game and unlock hidden parts of the game. No such feature in IV.
Driving the ship in the game is very difficult at first. Like Game Informer magazine said, “it’s like driving a damp sweater”.
IV was also too linear. III had diverging storylines with varying endings, which made for great replay value.
Oh, and one last thing to the Konami developers. Please for the love of God, bring back the cooking mini-game. Suikoden fans know what I’m talking about.
What Was Right: The graphics on IV are the best that have ever been on a Suikoden game. Very crisp and very fluid.
The characters are more lifelike than they have been in previous Suikoden games.
The nautical setting is one that I have not seen in an RPG, plus it makes me go around talking like a pirate, which annoys the wife. Finally, we have voiceovers in a Suikoden game.
Lastly, having a massive ship as your expandable HQ was genius.
Final Recommendation: At $40 only for the hardcore Suikoden fans. This should have been a $20 game.
Another one of the icons of my childhood passed away today. As we all know by now, Johnny Carson died today.
When I was a kid, one of the biggest treats in the world was staying up late to watch The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. It meant either we didn’t have school the next day or we were getting away with staying up late.
Not to mention, one of the funniest jokes I ever heard was from Johnny Carson. He was doing his Carnac bit and the answer was “Sis Boom Bah”. The question was, “What sound does a sheep make when it explodes?” I don’t think I ever laughed that hard in my entire life.
My prayers and condolences go out to his family and friends.
