    Since I don’t have anything to write about so far today, let’s take a dip into the mail sack shall we?

    It’s amazing that people still actually type like that. “TrEv46” is a “1337 hax0r” isn’t he? I advised him to learn to type like a human, as it will help get along better in life.

    They had a point? What point did they have? That they were psychopathic and mentally deficient in their reasoning? Yeah, we got that point.

    The only gods Harris and Klebold could be, are the gods of cowards and scumbags. What revolution will you be kickstarting? The one on typing skills or social skills? You’re in for a rude awakening, Junior once you enter the real world.

    This next one is from my entry on (what else?) the Eric Harris Journal which is a response to this comment.

    to FUX:

    you must be a fucking idiot. they were not cowards in any way. a coward is someone who shows fear when they are faced with difficult or painful situations. for one thing they took that difficult situation of being bullied every minute in school, and did something about it. for another thing, they had the fucking guts to actually kill themselves.

    suicide is not something that is an “easy way out”. how fucking easy is it to kill yourself? have you tried it? no? maybe your the coward to never go or do anything that might cause you pain.

    eric harris and dylan kelbold were now cowards, they were revolutionaries trying to stand up for themselves. i’m not saying i know what they really were, or why they did it. anyone who thinks they know why they did it is just assuming, steriotyping, and being ignorant. what i think they were doing is they were trying to make a stand against everything in their school. i think that since they were shown no compassion by anyone, that they were retaliating, and that they had every right to do so.

    What’s scary is that the person who left this comment is a college student. From UMass-Boston to be specific. They must be so proud to see what their fine institution produces.

    I love the statement that Harris and Klebold were “bullied every minute”. Were you there? I doubt that you were.

    In reality, it was Harris that was the bully and Klebold his lackey. But keep buying into the myth like the rest of the mutant herd.

    Harris and Klebold are cowards because they killed unarmed people who had nothing to do with them. Then, in the ultimate act of cowardice, rather than face the consequences for their actions they took the easy way out by killing themselves. At least they saved the taxpayers money.

    They were not revolutionaries. What were they revolting against? The suburban white rich kid spoiled life? They were shown no compassion because they showed no compassion. And you dare say they had the right to take 13 innocent lives and injure dozens of others? How dare you. Your comment is an insult to the families of the real victims of Columbine. You have no right to talk about compassion. Get help. You need it.

    And lastly, from my entry on the Rampart Range Tape…

    😈 I ABSOLUTELY FELL IN LOVE WITH ERIC AND DYLAN! THEY ARE AMAZING!

    Behold the intelligence of the mutant throngs.

    The funny thing is that her IP address traces back to the Commonwealth of Kentucky Dept. of Information Systems. I’m sure they wouldn’t appreciate their internet resources being used to give virtual blow jobs to those two scumbag cowards.

    It would be a shame if someone dropped an e-mail to the administrator at the Dept. of Information Systems. And considering the poster left a link to their personal blog, they shouldn’t be too hard to identify them.

    By the way, by the time you read this, the e-mail will have already been sent. Have a nice day.

  • Weise’s Family Receives Victims’ Fund

    Weise’s Family Receives Victims’ Fund

    Tribe Gives Out Victims’ Assistance Money:

    Some of the families of the victims of the Red Lake shootings are not happy about Jeff Weise’s family receiving victims’ assistance money from the Red Lake Tribal Council…

    Apr. 14, 2005 – Red Lake Tribal Council gave $5,000 to the family of the 16-year-old gunman in last month’s school shootings as part of a victims’ assistance effort, angering those who think the shooter should not be treated as a victim.

    The council gave that amount to 15 families Wednesday as the first distribution from a memorial fund that has received more than $200,000 in donations. The council decided Jeff Weise, who committed suicide at the end of the rampage, was a victim and his family should get some assistance.

    “Why are they considering him to be a victim when he killed everybody?” asked Victoria Brun, sister of slain guard Derrick Brun. “The people who donated the money have a right to know and question how the money is divided.”

    Donna Lewis, mother of victim Dewayne Lewis, 15, stormed out of a council meeting after hearing that members were considering it. “He ain’t no victim in this,” Lewis screamed, as she stood near the makeshift memorial outside the school. “He was a murderer.”

    The tribal council explained it this way…

    Tribal Secretary Judy Roy said Weise’s family needs help with his funeral expenses, but expects nothing more. “It’s understandable that some people would feel dismayed that his family would have a share in the fund,” she said.

    To be honest, as much as I believe that Jeff Weise was in no way a victim, I have no problem with this. I mean, Weise killed his closest family member, and this will allow his family to bury him and get it over with.

  • Red Lake Victim’s Family Speaks Out

    Red Lake Victim’s Family Speaks Out

    Jeff Weise ‘ain’t no victim in this’:

    One of the families of a Red Lake shooting victim has spoken out. Donna Lewis, the mother of slain victim Dewayne Lewis, had some choice words for the media and I find it hard to disagree with her…

    “People are looking at that kid, Jeff Weise, like he’s a victim,” said Donna Lewis of Ponemah, whose son, Dewayne Lewis, 15, died in Weise’s assault on Red Lake Senior High School on March 21.

    “He ain’t no victim in this. He’s the one that caused all of this. … He was a murderer. And I don’t even think that his family should even get s— from us. I think they’re the ones to blame, too, because the older people are supposed to watch their kids….

    “They knew he was having problems. They should have been on him right away, instead of letting him go through life being a miserable little kid.”

    It’s absolutely true. Jeff Weise was not a victim, and anyone who believes that is fooling themselves. The article states that some Red Lake residents speak of Weise as part of the community’s shared tragedy.

    He is not part of the tragedy, he’s the cause of it.

  • Prior Knowledge

    Prior Knowledge

    Guard’s family member may have known of Weise’s plan:

    (Log in info) This would be a very interesting development if it turns out to be true. Victoria Brun, the sister of slain Red Lake security guard Derrick Brun, is saying that someone in their family may have had prior knowledge of the attack. The family member has not been identified since the family member is a minor.

    I’m beginning to doubt a lot of these “prior knowledge” claims. It was first reported that 20 people had prior knowledge of the attack, which turned out to be the speculation of a police officer not involved with the case. At the time, I thought 20 was too high of a number. I mean, the odds of 20 people knowing about the plot and the information not reaching some school official or police are very slim.

    Definitely, the signs were there, but to go as far as calling that prior knowledge is a stretch.

  • Red Lake Grand Jury

    Red Lake Grand Jury

    Red Lake Student Ordered to Appear Before Grand Jury:

    An unidentified Red Lake student has been ordered to appear before the grand jury in Minneapolis on April 13. The subpoena orders the student to provide fingerprints, a DNA sample, and a set of full-body photos. That last one kind of creeps me out. No word on the reason behind the subpoena.

  • No Gun Found At Red Lake

    No Gun Found At Red Lake

    No gun found in Red Lake High School:

    A search of Red Lake High School found no weapons, and the school is safe for students to return next week, Red Lake public safety director Pat Mills said today.

    That is all.

  • Harris House Sold

    Harris House Sold

    Parents of Columbine killer sell home:

     A little bit less than a year ago, I did an entry about the house of Eric Harris was up for sale. Well, the house has been finally sold.

    What I found funny about the article is that it states that realtors did not have to reveal that Eric Harris lived there, or that he stored his guns and bombs there before launching the Columbine massacre.

    Yet, the article mentions the name of the people who bought the house. If they didn’t know before, I’m sure they know now. I was hoping someone would bulldoze the house after they bought it, but I guess that’s not going to happen.

  • Search for Gun at Red Lake

    Search for Gun at Red Lake

    FBI: Gun Search At Red Lake High School:

    Again, I’ll just quote…

    A healing ceremony was postponed and Monday’s planned start of classes at Red Lake High School was in doubt after the FBI announced it was searching for a gun at the school.

    “We have uncorroborated intelligence about the possibility of a gun on the premises of Red Lake High School,” FBI spokesman Paul McCabe said Thursday. Federal agents and Red Lake police were searching the school, he said.

    What struck me as odd was that on Monday, when class reopens, armed security guards will be present. I realize this may be necessary, but it seems like a case of closing the barn door after the horses are out.

  • 20 Plotters Downplayed

    20 Plotters Downplayed

    ’20 plotters’ comment played down:

    Just going to quote here…

    The top federal prosecutor in Minnesota says a Red Lake tribal police officer’s claim that as many has 20 students may have known about Jeff Weise’s plan to go on a killing spree at the reservation’s high school was “opinion,” and he refused to endorse it.

    U.S. Attorney Tom Heffelfinger in Minneapolis pointed out that the comment, made during a school board meeting last week, came from a policeman whose department is not conducting the investigation into the March 21 shootings.

    Even if 20 people didn’t know about the plot in advance, if more than one person knew and didn’t do anything to stop it, it’s too many.

  • Tin Foil Press

    Tin Foil Press

    Red Lake Whitewash:

    I originally wanted to call this entry something less culturally sensitive, but I was talked out of it.

    Anyway, this article is from the New York Press, which calls itself New York’s premiere alternative newspaper. That translates into a hippy rag. Rather than let Jeff Weise be responsible for his own actions, the “author” of this article lays the blame squarely on the evil white man. Read the whole article, but I’ll give you a little taste…

    The goal of this cover-up is to place all blame for the massacre on Jeff Weise’s evil shoulders. Thus, every major news organization repeatedly describes Weise as a Nazi, a gore-obsessed goth who once gelled his hair into the shape of horns.

    The Nazi claim is the craziest of all. The obvious contradiction—Weise is a Native American, a child of one of the world’s greatest Holocausts—is lost on the very culture that committed that Holocaust. Weise was acutely aware of his people’s Holocaust, and he explicitly linked his rage and his urge to massacre to America’s moral hypocrisy.

    It is easy to imagine that Weise connected his personal misery to the larger misery of his people.

    Ok, smart guy, let me ask you a question. If Jeff Weise was so outraged by the horrible treatment of his people, then why did he kill not only a member of his own bloodline but also other residents of his own reservation?

    Get back to me when you unwrap yourself from your tin foil cocoon protecting you from your imagined white man conspiracy.
