Student’s mother pleads guilty in plot at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School:
Michele Cossey pleaded guilty in court yesterday to charges of endangering the welfare of children. Cossey was arrested for supplying her son, Dillon Cossey, with illegal firearms that she purchased.
Dillon Cossey was arrested last year for plotting an attack against Plymouth-Whitemarsh High School outside of Philadelphia even though he had been homeschooled for over a year.
A sentencing date has not been set yet.
Gunman kills 10 at school in Finland, then self:
Add another coward to the yellow flames of hell.
As I’m sure you all know by now there was a school shooting earlier today in Finland. It happened at the Kauhajoki School of Hospitality which in US terms is a vocational college.
22-year-old Matti Juhani Saari stormed the school with guns and explosive devices and opened fire on students who were taking an exam. Before it was all over 10 people were dead. When finally approached by police Saari shot himself in the head. Unfortunately, he only survived for two hours. Another scumbag takes the cowards way out.
Of course, everyone is comparing this to last years shooting at Jokela High School and Pekka-Eric Auvinen. The comparison is quite apt. Saari also had videos on YouTube much like Auvinen…
But in one YouTube clip posted by a 22-year-old “Mr. Saari,” a young man wearing a leather jacket fires several shots in rapid succession with a handgun at what appears to be a shooting range.
The posting was made five days before the shooting and the location was given as Kauhajoki — the same town as Tuesday’s shooting. The posting included a message saying: “Whole life is war and whole life is pain. And you will fight alone in your personal war.”
“Mr. Saari” also posted three other clips of himself firing a handgun in the past three weeks.
Another clip shown by Scandinavian media showed the alleged gunman pointing his gun to the camera and saying “You will die next” before firing four rounds.
And also like Auvinen, Saari was nothing but a lowlife mutant…
Clips from the 1999 Columbine school shootings in Colorado were listed among his favorite videos.
To make matters worse Saari was questioned by police yesterday because of his YouTube clips. Police in Finland didn’t think they had enough to hold him on and even returned his gun to him. Yet people in the US complain that law enforcement reactions to videos like that or threats on MySpace are overblown. In the US he’d at least be in holding right now. That’s no knock on Finland.
And people also complain that somehow their rights are being violated when YouTube pulls a video like this. I’m not blaming YouTube but they need to be more active in taking these kinds of videos seriously and stop giving these troglodytes and mouth breathers who want to commit mass murder a platform and an audience.
No word yet on what his selfish motive was. I’m sure it will come out that he thought he was wronged by society in some way that most rational thinking people will believe is petty. His MySpace offers no clues.
Finnish police say they have found a note at his home but will not make it available just yet.
Just another loser in a long line of losers. Enjoy hell scumbag.
Court date set in Randolph killing:
A trial date has finally been set in the killing and dismemberment of 16-year-old Jennifer Parks. The trial date for Jonathan Zarate has been set for November 12th.
It’s been over 3 years since Jennifer’s murder. Hopefully, this trial will finally get off the ground.
Potential plea in high school shooting plot case:
Do you remember the name, Michele Cossey? She’s the 47-year-old ‘mother’ who supplied firearms to her teenage son Dillon who was going to use them to attack Plymouth-Whitemarsh High School in Pennsylvania.
In case you don’t remember let the article refresh your memory…
Even while knowing that her son was troubled, Cossey bought him three guns – a 9 mm semiautomatic rifle, a .22-caliber rifle and a .22-caliber handgun – and the makings for live grenades including inert grenades, gunpowder and BB pellets, according to the criminal complaint.
Police found the 9 mm rifle with laser scope and seven homemade grenades, four of which were live, along with numerous air and BB guns, knives and Columbine-related materials, in Cossey’s son’s bedroom on the night of Oct. 10, 2007, when they searched the home.
Also, she was home-schooling Dillon in the 18 months prior to his arrest.
Anyway, it looks like she’ll be entering into a plea agreement as early as Monday.
Michele Cossey has been charged with endangering the welfare of children, unlawful transfer of firearms, possession of a firearm by a minor, corruption of minors and recklessly endangering another.
No word yet on any of the details of the plea. If she gets away with no jail time then it will be a victory for criminal parenting.
Rosenbergs’ sons admit father was spy – CNN.com
I wonder if this means the Meeropol brothers will stop defending convicted cop killing scumbags like Mumia Abu Jamal. I doubt it.
Authorities appeal again for help in finding missing Lynn boy:
Law enforcement officials have once again appealed to the public for information regarding the disappearance of Giovanni Gonzalez.
Ernesto Gonzalez Jr., Giovanni’s father, had a pre-trial hearing this morning. He wasn’t man enough to actually appear in court.
The only new information that has come out recently from the investigation is that police have eliminated the possibility that Giovanni is in Puerto Rico.
More Developments in West Memphis 3 Case:
Speaking of Damien Echols, because you know we were, his wife Lorri Davis has come forward with what she says is new evidence that will get her husband a new trial. Her timing is amazing considering a judge just denied a retrial Thursday.
Lorri Davis, who is married to Damien Echols, claims an Arkansas attorney is quoted in a sealed affidavit as saying he had conversations with a member of the jury in Echols and Jason Baldwin’s 1994 trial.
Misskelley confessed to the crime, but later recanted. His confession was not allowed to be presented in the trial against Echols and Baldwin. Now Davis claims they have proof that jurors were discussing the confession during deliberations.
So how long has she been sitting in this alleged information? And do you notice it’s evidence that could potentially get her husband a new trial, not Misskelley or Baldwin? Like I keep saying it’s all about Echols and always has been. Misskelley is seen as the turncoat and Baldwin is basically the Shemp of these stooges.
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.
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.
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.
