  • Andrew Osantowski’s MySpace

    Andrew Osantowski’s MySpace

    A few months ago, I wondered if Andrew Osantowski had internet access in prison, since his Yahoo profile had changed since he was sentenced. I received an e-mail today from someone in the know who said that he does not have net access in prison, but he has someone on the outside maintaining his internet presence. I was also sent a link to Osantowski’s MySpace account. Of course, I’m not going to link it but here’s a screenshot…

    What smacks you in the face first? Why the swastika claiming white power, of course. And like most MySpace sites, the background makes it totally unreadable but that’s ok, I’ll translate…

    Andrew’s Interests
    General Neo-Naziism, spray painting swastikas, fertilizer bombs
    Books The Threat of the Hitler Cult, Adolf Hitler, The Neo-Nazis This profile was edited with Thomas’ myspace editor™ V2.5
    Heroes Adolf Hitler, Eric Harris, Dylan Klebold

    And if that wasn’t enough…

    Andrew’s Blurbs

    About me:
    i’m 18 and am pretty anti social, i am very interested in Hitler and the Nazi’s. a while back i got in some major trouble but im back now and im ready to get my life back on track. if you want im me sometime my sn is nazibotsadistic

    Who I’d like to meet:
    McGinty’s!

    What’s scary is that he has 100 MySpace friends. Do the MySpace drones just add anyone indiscriminately?

    What’s even scarier is that when he says he wants to meet the McGinty’s he means Celia McGinty, the Idaho teenage girl who turned him in, and Celia’s father, Sgt. George McGinty, who is a policeman in Washington who first alerted authorities to Osantowski’s plot to shoot up his school. Does that sound like a thinly veiled threat to anyone else?

    For someone who is still obsessed with Nazism and the scumbags Harris and Klebold it doesn’t sound like someone who said this at his sentencing…

    “I am truly sorry for the things I have done. My family never raised me like this.”

    “Whichever path leads to normalcy and freedom is the one I want to take,”

    Just think, this unrepentant ball of hate will be out of jail when he’s 22.

    UPDATE: The site is possibly a fake.

  • Dave Cullen

    Dave Cullen

    Late last night, I was lucky enough to exchange e-mails with one of my internet heroes, Dave Cullen.

    For those of you unfamiliar with Dave’s work, he wrote what, I think, is the definitive article on Columbine “The Depressive and the Psychopath” and he also has a plethora of Columbine information in his Columbine Almanac.

    After our exchange, he wrote an entry on his blog called “The upside of covering Columbine” where he discussed receiving e-mails from students who are looking for help with their reports about Columbine.

    He said that it was a minor hassle, but nothing made him happier. He also discussed as we did in our exchange how my site gets all the readers who praise the killers, while Dave’s site rarely gets one. As it should be, really, because Dave is a professional writer and journalist, and I’m just some guy with a website and an opinion. Anyway, it’s a good read.

    10/9/05 From The Mail Sack

    Just one to speak of this time, and it’s from my entry on the Columbine Rampart Range Tapes…

    Fan Says:

    You know, i wish there is a hell, just so i can shake their hands and thank them for what they did. People are so fucked up, that they think they can mess with someone for years, and then flip out when they kill some1. That racist POS that posted is the reason things like this happen. I just wish i could have the balls to do what they did, they are my fucking hero. So if you dont like them, then dont wast your time talking bad about them

    Of course, he or she is talking about Columbine killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold as his or her heroes.

    Just think, that’s someone’s son or daughter. I wonder what those parents think their kid is up to.

  • A challenge answered…sort of

    A challenge answered…sort of

    Yesterday, I posted a challenge to the mutants to stop operating in secrecy. Well, someone responded to my challenge but, as usual, it was behind a locked message board. Luckily, one of my readers tipped me off to it. Our favorite mutant WMD had this to say…

    Over in the trenches of the Trenchcoat Chronicles, there is a thread named https://thetrenchcoat.com/2005/10/04/why-so-secret/ Don’t bother answering. Trench allows people like jim to cast insults to his heart’s content while banishing others, myself included, for expressing opinions counter to his own. If he wants to read and post here, let him register like everyone else.

    Then the moderator by the not so original “goth” name of Ms. Bathory had this to say…

    If I found Trench on here I would instantly get rid *spits*

    So much for open discussion. You know I have no problem with goths, but if you’re going to pick a screen name, pick one that 50,000 others aren’t using.

    Then another moderator by the name of Jennifer had this to say…

    OMG

    A GIRL TODAY HAD ON AN AWESOME BLACK TRENCHCOAT!

    Um…yeah.

    You know what? Now that I think about it, stay in secrecy. At least that way you won’t infect anyone else with your inanity.

  • Why so secret?

    Why so secret?

    Wanted to bid a hearty welcome to all the mutants coming over from one of the mutant message boards.

    And just like your heroes, you’re being cowards by hiding behind a locked message board. Which makes me realize most message boards, blogs, and journals that are run by mutants are usually locked to the outside world. Why all the secrecy?

    Are you ashamed of whatever you’re posting? Afraid of dissenting opinion? I mean, all my posts are open. I’m not afraid of dissenting opinion.

    But Trench, you ban people from your site all the time. True, but those people are 3 McNuggets short of a Happy Meal and don’t offer anything to the conversation, let alone society.

    So why don’t you stop operating in the shadows like the mutants you are?

    Come out into the light. You just may like it.

  • Lewerke to remain in adult court

    Lewerke to remain in adult court

    James Lewerke to remain in adult court:

    James Lewerke, the Indiana teen accused of slashing 7 of his classmates with a machete, will have his case remain in adult court.

    Attorneys representing Lewerke motioned to have his case moved back to juvenile court after a judge ruled that he will be tried as an adult back in May. Previously, Lewerke has pleaded not guilty, and his attorneys will be using an insanity defense.

    As I mentioned before, I think he actually was insane at the time of the attack, and I think in this case he actually does need psychiatric help.

    However, I think he should be tried as an adult because of the viciousness of his attack and if he were to be tried as a juvenile he might be released before any treatment could be completed.

  • Eric Schorling Update

    Eric Schorling Update

    Prosecutors doubt they’ll need witness in stabbing trial:

    Just some news in the case of Eric Schorling.

    To refresh your memories, Eric Schorling bragged to people that he was going to stab his ex-girlfriend, Nicole Lambert. He then stabbed Nicole in the back in the halls of Romeo High School, barely missing her heart. He then bragged to people afterward that he stabbed Nicole.

    He had made a plea to serve six months, but then nullified that plea by escaping from Macomb County Juvenile Justice Center and telling people that he was going to finish the job he started. So not only is he a psychopath, he’s also a dumbass.

    Anyway, the article states that they could use fellow escapee Ronnie Lewis Gabrail’s testimony, but probably won’t…

    “If you’ve got a quarterback that can throw long and connect on the very first play, why would you take 15 plays on handoffs and short runs and risk making mistakes on the field to gain the same yards?” Kaplan explained by way of analogy. “The case was very strong already, without Ronnie Gabrail, and using him might add risk.”

    And here’s the testimony he could provide…

    Prior to and during the brief escape, Gabrail has said Schorling told him he’d get back to Romeo and “finish off the bitch” or “finish what I started” — a sort of indirect admission that he had stabbed Lambert before. But Kaplan said the evidence value of that statement is minimal for the stabbing trial since Schorling also made incriminating statements to other Romeo High School students.

    And some people actually think Schorling needs “help” and not jail. The only help he needs is help getting into the prison van for a long, long stay courtesy of the State of Michigan.

  • Tell me why

    Tell me why

    School Shooter Denied Parole For 4th Time:

    The original school shooter, Brenda Spencer of the infamous “I don’t like Mondays” shooting, was denied parole for the fourth time since being sentenced to 25 to life back in 1980. For those of you who may not be old enough to remember…

    Spencer opened fire with a .22-caliber rifle on Cleveland Elementary School, across the street from her San Carlos home, in January 1979. The principal and a custodian were killed, and eight students and an officer were wounded.

    Spencer told a reporter during the SWAT standoff that she fired three dozen shots at the school because she “didn’t like Mondays,” adding the shooting “livens up the day.”

    Yes, that it is what the Boomtown Rats song is about.

    According to Snopes, this is why she’s been turned down before…

    She has been up for parole three times and has been turned down each time, the last in 2001. At her first parole hearing she expressed doubt that any of the victims were hit by bullets from her rifle and contended they might have been shot by police. She also claimed to have been under the influence of alcohol and hallucinogenic drugs at the time of the shootings and asserted prosecutors and her attorney had conspired to fabricate test evidence showing she had no drugs in her system. By her third parole hearing she was admitting guilt and expressing remorse but was still contending she had been drunk and high on marijuana laced with PCP the day of her deadly rampage. She also claimed something new, that she had been beaten and sexually abused by her father, an avowal conspicuously absent from previous records.

    She’s changed her story so many times, I can see why she’s been repeatedly denied parole. And isn’t it ironic that she was denied parole on a Monday? I guess she really doesn’t like them now.

  • Request from a mutant

    Request from a mutant

    I got an e-mail today from the webmaster whose site I got the quotes from for both Birthdays in Hell entries which can be found here and here. Here is the e-mail in most of its entirety…

    Hello Trench,

    My name is Chris and i’m the owner of (URL of mutant website).
    I received a note that you posted some text of my homepage:

    You didn’t ask for my permission to post whats on my website.
    I am copyrighted so therefore you must delete what youve taken from my website.

    Please put this stuff you copy off

    Thank you

    Chris

    First off, I wonder which mutant sent him a note. Like I need to ask. WMD.

    Anyway, as to your request, um…

  • Nee’s lawyer files for change of venue

    Nee’s lawyer files for change of venue

    Attorney seeking venue change for massacre-lot trial:

    The attorney for Joe Nee, the always amusing and pervert cop defender Thomas Drechsler, is trying to get the venue changed for his client’s trial…

    Drechsler said the change of venue is needed because of the extensive media coverage the case has received. Drechsler has repeatedly said that news coverage, particularly by The Patriot Ledger after Nee’s arrest, would prevent his client from receiving a fair trial locally.

    You don’t see Toby Kerns’ lawyer filing for a change of venue. Running scared perhaps?
