    More News From Michigan

    Teen may face life in prison:

    More news on the Michigan school bombing plot. Andrew Osantowski may face life in prison under attempted murder charges if prosecutors can determine a specific date of the attack. I can theorize about the obvious date it might have been, but I won’t. Without the attempted murder charge, he is facing 20 years in prison. And guess what. He’s a mutant. A quote from prosecuting attorney Steven Kaplan…

    “He’s a psychopath. He lacks a conscience,” said Kaplan. “He’s a publicity-monger who wanted to leave this planet in a blaze of glory, and he was inspired by the Columbine killers.”

    I kind of figured as much when the site that I believe he had something to do with him linked directly to the Columbine section of this site.

    Of course, one of the possible court-appointed attorneys for Osantowski is already crying foul…

    Mount Clemens attorney Brian Legghio, who is among the defense attorneys who could be asked to represent Osantowski, said police and prosecutors have “recklessly damaged the teen’s rights to a fair trial” by releasing evidence seized in the case.

    “This kid’s already convicted in the court of public opinion,” Legghio said. “It’s outrageous what they did. He’s 17 years old.”

    First off, doesn’t the public have a right to know if their lives were endangered, especially when it comes to kids? Secondly, the fact that he’s 17 doesn’t mean anything. Killers come in all ages.

    Also, according to the chat transcript, it sounds like the father wasn’t a neo-Nazi but just white trash who didn’t mind his kids having guns.

    It sounds like the mom is completely clueless, however. This quote from an opinion piece by Laura Berman…

    Osantowski’s mother told reporters, “I think he was brainwashed by all this Nazi stuff he had.”

    There were guns, explosives, and pictures of Adolf Hitler in the house — the sort of lifestyle accoutrements you’d expect a good mom to notice.

    So I guess my original assessment of the parents was incorrect and that in fact, as usual, we have parents who just didn’t care.

    It also turns out that Andrew Osantowski was kicked out of one Catholic school and asked not to return to another. The Catholic schools didn’t share that info with the public school district because they’re not required by law. The Catholic Church keeping secrets, who would have guessed?

    So between the parents, the Catholic Schools, and whoever else Andrew Osantowski might have told, someone could have put a stop to this long before it happened. Could you imagine if none of them did and his plan actually went through?

    Thank God that Celia McGinty had the sense and the courage to do something about it, since no one else did.

  • Michigan Bomb Plot Follow Up

    Michigan Bomb Plot Follow Up

    Domestic terrorists still live among us:

    This is a follow-up to yesterday’s news about the Michigan school bombing plot.

    The article really doesn’t say anything new except that we still have domestic terrorists to deal with along with foreign terrorists, which is, in fact, very true. However, it does include one tidbit of information the Fox News article left out. The main suspect, Andrew Osantowski, used the screen name “nazi_bot_sadistic”. Now I’m 100% convinced that he had something to do with the Geocities site that I had blacklisted. I found a mirror site using the screen name “nazi_bot_brutality”. The screen names are too similar not to be connected. Unfortunately, I can’t comment on any further steps I’ve taken.

    Anyway, the article makes a very valid point…

    The best defense against domestic terror are the friends, family, neighbors, and acquaintances of those who are planning violence. They’re the ones most likely to notice strange behavior, violent utterances, fascination with weapons and other warning signs that indicate a person may be moving past thinking about slaughtering people to actually planning to carry it out.

    That’s the best way to improve our domestic security.

    Tell.

    I couldn’t agree more. So when someone says that a school or parent is overreacting when it comes to these types of threats, you just remind them of this story.

  • Michigan Bomb Plot Foiled

    Michigan Bomb Plot Foiled

    Cop’s Daughter Foils Teen Bomb Plot:

    This is the coolest story I think I’ve done ever. 16-year-old Celia McGinty of Idaho brought down a school bombing plot that was going to happen in Michigan.

    The “alleged” suspect, 17-year-old Andrew Osantowski, had shared the plot with McGinty. He planned on bombing Chippewa Valley High School. Turns out that McGinty’s dad, George, heads the cybercrime unit for the Washington State University police. D’oh!

    What police found at Osantowski’s home were instructions for making a bomb, videotapes of him with assault weapons, weapons and ammunition, Nazi flags, and books about white supremacy and Adolf Hitler. Where were the parents, you say?

    Marvin Osantowski, 52, the boy’s father, was charged with concealing stolen firearms and pleaded not guilty. Bond was set at $500,000.

    So it seems like we have a family of neo-Nazis that plotted on blowing up the school. But it gets even better.

    I noticed the byline of the article said Clinton Township, MI. I was wondering why that should sound familiar to me, since I’ve never been to Michigan. Then I remembered. I am 99% positive that these are the same assclowns that ran a site on Geocities called Cemetery Party of National Socialists that I helped get blacklisted.

    So anyway, cheers to Celia McGinty for saving a lot of lives and having the courage to do what others might not have done and putting these mutants behind bars.

  • Columbine Lockdown

    Columbine Lockdown

    Graffiti Prompts Columbine Lockdown:

    Columbine High is under lockdown because of a series of threats written in graffiti. The article does not state what the exact threats were. Some may find it a bit extreme, but can you blame them after what happened?

    The article also goes on about how the warnings of the Columbine massacre were ignored. It also says that the “juvenile diversion” programs that Harris and Klebold were placed into also failed. Check out this quote…

    District Attorney Dave Thomas said many youngsters in juvenile diversion programs made remarks similar to those of Harris. “We do have failures,” Thomas said. “Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were two of those.”

    And there we have today’s winner of the “No shit Sherlock” award. Maybe if they were treated like criminals that they were instead of being given a slap on the wrist, Columbine might not have happened.

  • Columbine Documents Destroyed

    Columbine Documents Destroyed

    Report suggests Columbine files lost on purpose:

    Well, well, well. It looks like that someone in the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Dept. is guilty of a little skullduggery. I love that word. It seems that some crucial documents have turned up missing and probably shredded, such as an affidavit for a warrant to search Harris’ home a year before the shootings. Also, all the files and notes that concern the affidavit.

    The affidavit was prepared after the sheriff’s office was told that Harris was building pipe bombs had made violent threats on the internet. It seems like John Kiekbusch, a former administrator in the sheriff’s office, may be behind it. According to the article…

    Kiekbusch thwarted efforts in 1999 to find the files and in late 2000 asked an assistant to shred a large pile of copies of Columbine related reports, the grand jury’s report said.

    Sounds like somebody’s hiding something to me.

    As usual, Brian Rohrbaugh puts it best…

    Brian Rohrbaugh, whose son Daniel was among those slain, said the report was too narrowly focuses and much more could have been investigated.

    “It does confirm that documents were shredded. That’s something that should not be taken lightly,” Rohrbaugh said. “Clearly Columbine never should have happened and they don’t want the public to know that.”

    And that’s a damn shame.

  • 9/12/04: From The Mail Sack

    9/12/04: From The Mail Sack

    Just two this week and they’re really not that good, but I bring them to you anyway.

    The first is from, what else, the entry on the Eric Harris Journal…

    I am facinated by Eric and Dylan…it just amazes me how people can despise them so much…ever think about how many bombs are droped on countries full of innocent people but thats suposedly is what has to be done…why? eric and dylan were also doing what had to be done to all those people that put them through hell for all that time…what would you have done in there situation…people smashin you into lockers and constantly being di*ks to you…..revenge is everywhere…war is revenge, war is power, eric and dylan were revenge and for once they had the power.

    It amazes me how you mutants can worship these two cowards. While no one likes war, sometimes it is necessary and does have a purpose. Usually, a country is defending itself from an invading force or one country is helping to liberate another. What those scumbags Harris and Klebold did served no purpose. I have yet to see any proof that Harris and Klebold were bullied, but I’ve seen more evidence that Harris was, in fact, a bully himself. They had no power, only cowardice.

    From the same entry (go figure)…

    Hi i hope you don’t mind if i had my say when i was in high school i was picked on so badly. I was so angry and upset i ran away from home a few times and i was thinking about suicidal at the time. I know what Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold are comming from i’ve been thru to much the same situation that Eric and Dylan been thru

    Comment by Queen Marilyn — Saturday Sep 11, 2004 @ 5:54 am

    While I can sympathize with what you went through, it is still no excuse to kill 13 unarmed people. And again, I have yet to see any evidence that Harris and Klebold were bullied. Even if they were, it still doesn’t justify killing unarmed random people. Your sympathy for them is idiotic. Why not have sympathy for their victims? Or for the families, they’ve torn apart with their mindless killing spree? You don’t because you’re selfish. Just like your cowardly scumbag heroes.

  • The Blacklist: Nazi Cemetery Party

    The Blacklist: Nazi Cemetery Party

    No hate mail this week again, so I’ll be bringing you another installment of The Blacklist. This assclown made the mistake of linking to me. I bring you Cemetery Party of National Socialists. For those of you who may not know, National Socialists is just a fancy name for Nazis. The purpose of the website states…

    The Cemetery Party of National Socialists is a National Socialist Organization We work to get rid of all Jewish controlled lands in the United States. Cemeteries are a very easy way to embezzle money which funds many other things then just the Cemetery itself. Mount Elliott Cemetery Association is a Jewish ran cemetery organization that makes millions and millions of dollars a year in money you pay or your parents pay for your relative or whoever the person is to you. These Cemeteries associate with other Cemeteries in the Association which is ran by the same Jew and they send a whole bunch of money out to Jewish Organizations such as in the television and newspaper corporations. On top of that they send millions of dollars to Israel each year in exchange for more Jews and more Jewish propaganda to be sent out to us. Israel is controlling everything that happens here and you are letting it by not doing anything. This is not what are Organization is about. Our National Socialist Organization is backed by the Fuhrer, Adolf Hitler, the true leader of all true whites everywhere. Our Organization raises money for all White Organizations and the children of those organizations.

    That’s some enlightened thinking, isn’t it? Anyway, what they may not realize is that this site violates Geocities TOS.

  • Harris House For Sale

    Harris House For Sale

    Eric Harris’ Parents Selling Home Near Columbine:

    The parents of Eric Harris have put their house up for sale. The house where guns and bombs were stored. The house where all it would have taken was for Wayne and Kathy Harris to look in on their son and Columbine would have been prevented.

    They’re asking roughly $270,000 for it. The realtor does not have to disclose what happened in the house. Two realtors are not allowed to show the property. That would be Rich Petrone, the stepfather of Danny Rohrbough who was killed at Columbine, and Randy Brown, the father of Brooks Brown who was threatened by Eric Harris.

    I wonder why they wouldn’t want those two showing the house. Maybe because this way they don’t have to look them in the eye and explain why they failed to prevent their son from killing one of theirs.

    If I had FU money, I’d buy the house and have it immediately demolished. Hopefully, someone who does have that kind of money will do the same.

  • Columbine Chemical Spill

    Columbine Chemical Spill

    There was a chemical spill inside Columbine High yesterday. It was an accident that injured 3 students and a teacher. While I do not mean to belittle the injuries that happened, this should have been nothing more than a local story in Colorado.

    The Denver Post ran with an AP article that treats it as such. Other news outlets didn’t. The Daily camera ran with the same AP article the Post did, but added this little blurb at the end…

    Columbine was the scene of the nation’s worst school shooting on April 20, 1999, when Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold shot and killed 12 students and a teacher before committing suicide.

    You don’t say I hadn’t heard that. The Washington Times was even worse. It ran with a UPI article that started with…

    Columbine High School, site of the worst U.S. school shooting, was evacuated after a chemical spill that left a teacher slightly injured.

    And ended with…

    On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold shot and killed 12 students and a teacher before committing suicide.

    This story has nothing to do with the Columbine killings. The only thing they have in common is that they took place at the same high school.

    Is it always necessary to bring up Harris and Klebold when talking about a situation that does not involve them in any way shape or form? I think we all know what happened at Columbine High. Apparently, the media thinks we’re so stupid we need reminding.

  • Columbine Evidence To Be Released

    Columbine Evidence To Be Released

    Columbine evidence is ruled public information:

    The sub-headline says it all, doesn’t it. “The families of the two killers wanted the diaries and videos kept private. A slain student’s parents feel differently.” I don’t understand why this stuff wasn’t made public a while ago. The only way I could see them not releasing the evidence into the public record is if there was still a criminal investigation going on against someone involved with the Columbine shootings.

    Personally, I don’t like the idea that the media thinks they have the right to view anything they want, like the Dale Earnhardt autopsy photos, but in this case, they’re right. The families of the 13 victims have every right to view every last piece of this material. But of course, not everyone wants the material released. Care to take a guess who?

    The killers’ parents have fought release of the documents, saying it might trigger copycat episodes. Their attorneys didn’t return calls.

    Translation: Please don’t release these records, or you’ll see what lousy parents we are. “Might be” copycat episodes? Where the hell have they been? Since their two mutant offspring killed 13 people, there have been scores of copycat episodes. Luckily, most were averted before anybody could be hurt or killed. Not to mention the scores of Klebold and Harris worshiping mutants that leave their bouts of mental masturbation on my site.

    It’s obvious that the Harris’ and especially the Klebolds don’t want it to get out that guns were being purchased and bombs were being manufactured under their watch. Do you think I’m the only one who thinks that? Think again…

    Sue Petrone, mother of slain student Daniel Rohrbough, welcomed the ruling.

    “The purpose of the information is just so people can learn,” she said. “If they see something like this in their own home, writings like this, these are things people need to be concerned about.”

    Daniel’s father, Brian Rohrbough, said the materials’ release will shed light on the Harris and Klebold households.

    “I think from what we can see from all these items is what was going on inside the houses. It gives us a glimpse of the Harris and Klebold homes. It is important to see what was going on,” Rohrbough said.

    He said the parents of both killers have spread the myth that they never saw anything that would have tipped them off to their sons’ plans.

    Here is the most important quote as far as I’m concerned…

    He said that when people see the videos, it will give them a clear picture of what the homes were really like. And other parents will know what to look for, Rohrbough said.

    “It is important to learn the truth,” he said.

    (Emphasis mine)

    That’s the important part right there. So other parents will know what to look for. Unfortunately, as we keep finding out, a lot of parents have no clue, or they don’t want to be too hard on their kids like our parents were, so many of the kids become unsupervised at most times. Or their parents really don’t care. Don’t be one of those parents. Too many parents have the “Not My Kid” syndrome. If you are one of those parents, you better find a cure quick before your kid becomes “one of those kids”. The Harrises and the Klebolds didn’t. Now 13 people are dead because of it.
