  • Abdool trial continues

    Trial Continues For Man Accused Of Burning Girlfriend Alive:

    Yesterday in the trial of Dane Abdool an arson investigator testified that in his opinion Abdool intentionally set 17-year-old girlfriend Amelia Sookdeo on fire.

    Monday, arson investigators told the jury that Abdool poured gasoline on his sometime-girlfriend Amelia Sookdeo pretty much from head to toe. Investigators said they found gasoline on her face, soaked through all of her clothing and her socks and shoes. They said that 80-percent of her body was burned and that Abdool removed the nozzle from the gas can he used so that the gasoline would pour out more quickly. Gloves were also found at the scene.

    A State Fire Marshal investigator told the jury he believes it was an intentional burning because of all of the circumstances involved, including the fact that the arsonist would have had to have been close to the victim.

    “The vapors coming off the gasoline would have been more defused out in the open making it more difficult to ignite,” state arson investigator Juan Bailey testified Monday, adding that the igniting device would have to be close to the gasoline to spark it.

    Also according to the article, Abdool showed no emotion when shown pictures of Amelia’s charred remains. Well, what did they expect really?

  • The One Who Shall Not Be Named sues for NIU shooter’s game history

    GamePolitics.com » Blog Archive » Jack Thompson, Seeking Killer’s Video Game History, Threatens NIU with Lawsuit:

    Pursuant to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request production of copies of all documents that reveal Steven Kazmierczak’s play of violent video games, including but not limited to the use of his computer to play Counter-Strike, which he apparently, according to the New York Post, used to rehearse for his Valentine’s Day Massacre at NIU.

    Does it ever stop with him?

  • Kazmierczak’s girlfriend speaks out

    NIU shooter’s girlfriend: No sign he was ‘planning something’:

    Jessica Baty was the on again/off again girlfriend of NIU gunman Stephen Kazmierczak. In an interview with CNN Baty said that Kazmierczak went off his antidepressants because it made him feel like a zombie but that he wasn’t acting erratically in the weeks leading up to the shooting. If you ask me feeling like a zombie is preferential to being a dead mass murderer but I digress.

    Bath also received two packages from Kazmierczak. One had two textbooks, a goodbye note, and a cell phone. The second contained a holster and ammunition.

    If your meds make you feel like a zombie just don’t go off them. Contact your doctor and tell him/her your concerns about your meds. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get the right dosage of the right medication. Trust me, I’ve been there. Once they find the right medication and dosage it will make your life a whole lot better.

  • NIU gunman had massive ‘Saw’ tattoo

    Tattoo artist tells of working with NIU gunman:

    NIU gunman Stephen Kazmierczak had a rather large tattoo on his back in tribute to the horror movie Saw.

    Jason Dunavan says his work included an image of the macabre doll from the horror movie “Saw” riding a tricycle through a pool of blood. There were images of several bleeding cuts in the background of the tattoo.

    This revelation will cause two things to happen. The first is that I’m sure some reactionary group will blame the movie for the tragedy at NIU. I find that laughable of course considering many people, including my wife, are huge fans of the Saw series and I would say 99.9% are not criminals.

    However, I think that will begin to change as mutants usually pick up the habits of past school shooters and will begin to adopt this as required movie watching for the mutant set as Natural Born Killers became in the past.

  • Much ado over a gun dealer

    Gun dealer used by Va. Tech shooter sold supplies, holster to NIU killer:

    A lot of people are making a big deal over the fact that the gun shop that sold a gun to Virginia Tech gunman Cho Seung-Hui also sold supplies to NIU gunman Stephen Kazmierczak.

    While it’s a bizarre coincidence I think it’s a non-story.

    While Cho did buy one of his firearms from this online dealer based in Green Bay, Wisconsin Kazmierczak only bought empty magazines and a holster from the dealer. Both Cho and Kazmierczak passed mental health background checks at the time of their purchases. That seems to be the bigger story to me especially for Cho who was court ordered to undergo treatment.

  • Nee’s sentence debated online

    Nee’s expected sentence debated:

    This is an article from the Patriot-Ledger newspaper in Quincy, Mass. which shows that the expected sentence of Joe Nee is being predicted online. It seems that I’m not the only one that thinks Nee will get a slap on the wrist.

    “Nobody ever gets the max when they are that young,” said one comment posted by someone using the screen name Lost Cause. “At the most he will get approximately 2 years, and after good behavior and any time served, he will not spend much time at all in the land of forced love.”

    Speaking of me, I was quoted in the article as well…

    TheTrenchcoat Chronicles is Web site that says it specializes in following school shootings.

    A poster there, using the screen name Trench Reynolds, said people seeking “true justice” should not celebrate just yet.

    “If this is the only charge that Nee is convicted of he probably won’t see that much time,” the poster said. “Personally I’ll be surprised if he even sees the inside of a jail because of his connections.”

    And I still stand behind that.

    I wonder if the Patriot-Ledger used my quote because I was saying what they wanted to.

  • David Nack, child exploiter

    Charges: Man had sex with girl after meeting on MySpace:

    That’s 34-year-old David Nack of Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. He’s been charged with sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl in 2005. Wisconsin’s age of consent is 18.

    According to the Wisconsin Dells Police Department, the girl said she met Nack after he replied to her profile on MySpace (an online social networking Web site) and that she drove to meet him Nov. 2, 2005, to have sex. They met at a Walgreens store before going to his downtown Wisconsin Dells apartment, according to a criminal complaint.

    The two smoked marijuana and Nack showed a pornographic movie on a television, the complaint states. Nack took pictures of the girl before they had sex, according to the complaint, and stopped when she began to cry and told him to stop.

    Nack told police the girl changed into a short skirt and let him take pictures of her.

    I don’t know about you but where I come from if a woman says stop and you keep going that’s called rape.

    Nack is being charged with child exploitation, sexual intercourse with a child, child enticement, and delivering marijuana to a minor.

    It’s a little ironic that Nack has on his MySpace “Remember: karma is a bitch and it will come back to later in the game.”

    Nack is looking at 42 years of karma.

  • Bond reduction denied for Thomas White

    Judge denies defense motion to release Thomas White on house arrest or reduced bond:

    We already knew that Thomas White’s request for house arrest had been denied. Now his request for a reduction in his $250K bond has also been denied.

    Judge David Mouton said that due to the seriousness of the crimes in this case, he was overruling the defense requests.

    In October 2006 White brought a MAC-90 to school, fired a round into the ceiling and police say he tried pulling the trigger while the gun was pointed at Memorial Middle School’s principal but the gun jammed.

    Judge Moulton said he won’t rule on a request to have White tutored while in jail until the State Supreme Court rules on it.

    White’s mom seems to blame the court rather than her son for his predicament.

    Norma White said she was “hoping” but not “expecting” a favorable ruling for her son but added afterward: “It is par for the course for everything he has ruled on before.”

    That’s what usually happens when you allow your son to take an illegally owned firearm to school.

  • E.O. Green Junior High shooter has hate crime tacked on to murder charge

    Boy, 14, charged with murder, hate crime:

    The gunman in the E.O. Green Junior High School shooting has been identified as 14-year-old Brandon David McInerney. Since his victim, 15-year-old Lawrence King, has been declared brain-dead and will not survive McInerney is being charged with murder with what the article calls a hate crime enhancement.

    Prosecutors are saying that they do intend to try McInerney as an adult. With the murder charge, he’s looking at 25 to life. The hate crime enhancement would tack on another three years.

    Prosecutors are not saying why the hate crime charges were filed but classmates of King say that he was either gay or a crossdresser.

    Several classmates have said King would wear feminine attire, making him an unpopular figure with other boys at his campus.

    King sometimes came to school wearing makeup and high heels, said eighth-grader Nicholas Cortez, 14.

    Another eighth-grader, Michael Sweeney, said King’s appearance was “freaking the guys out,” the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.

    “He would come to school in high-heeled boots, makeup, jewelry and painted nails – the whole thing,” Sweeney told the Times.

    Personally, I think all crimes are hate crimes but anything that will keep this little ball of hate behind bars longer is ok with me.

    Now I’m not trying to cast aspersions on the victim or his family. I have nothing against gay people or crossdressers but at 15 and in a public school you would think his parents would have stepped in and stopped him from dressing like that at school. One would have to know that dressing like that would only invite trouble.

  • NIU gunman was off his meds

    NIU gunman stopped taking medication:

    According to this article some corrections to be made. The NIU gunman’s correct name is Stephen Kazmierczak. Not Steven as previously reported. That and five victims of his were killed not six. But onto the main topic of the article.

    It seems that Kazmierczak was off his meds. The article doesn’t state what meds he was on or why he was on them.

    The article also states that he carried the shotgun he used in a guitar case. I guess this delusional assclown thought he was El Mariachi.

    But I’m sure we’ll hear from the anti-medication Luddites.
