  • Columbine Report Released

    Columbine Report Released

    Cops Had Many Contacts With Columbine Killers:

    15 to be exact, according to the report. I mean, what more could be said that I haven’t already said about this? If the police had 15 contacts with scumbags Harris and Klebold how many of those 15 times were the parents notified? And out of all the times the parents were notified, how many times did they choose to do something?

    Do I blame the police? Probably not. Even if the search warrant was executed in 1998, I don’t think that would have changed anything. Having said that, I still think Columbine could have been prevented if their parents had just been a little more involved in their lives. If they had just checked up on their own damn kids, none of this would have happened. A casual search of their own property would have turned everything up.

    Then again, even if their parents had found the guns and explosives, would they have even done anything about it then?

    2/22/04: From the mail sack

    Lots this week. Guess what subject.

    The first one is from one of usual trolls responding to a comment from 1/26/04’s Mail Sack. About Columbine of course…

    So you had a terrible time in High School. Oh, that is so sad. Maybe you should wake up and realise that you know nothing about what school in my countries like. You’re probably a Yank so you have no idea what it’s like here. Eric and Dylan didn’t take the cowards way out, instead they did what every suicidal teen should do.If you are picked in by people in your school and you feel like you want to kill yourself, kill them as well, they caused it, therefore they deserve it. It’s not my fault if people are scared of dying. There is nothing to fear, a lot of people worse than me have died. I think that everyone should kill the people who bully them – that way it would stop.

    Posted by: Cheryl at February 16, 2004 12:06 PM

    Yeah, that’s a great idea. Guess what Cheryl. Everyone is bullied in one form or another. That would mean someone would have to kill you. Your lack of logic or intelligence is astounding.

    The next one is, of course, from my entry on the Eric Harris journal…

    I think that what eric harris put in his jounral was true. “kill mankind, no one should survive.” wtf is the point in livivng if we are all just going to pick on one another, thats why poeple get shot, bc people are sick of being picked on, i think what eric wrote in his journal should be published….so everyone knows what will happen if you pick on someone.

    See response to #1. Went to your crappy website, too. Learn to spell. Plus, if you didn’t want to be harassed at school, it’s only common sense not to wear a trench coat there. It’s one thing to be different, it’s another to be a complete dumbass.

    The next one is from the 2/1/04 Mail Sack and of course it’s in response to the Eric Harris journal.

    Well first off none of ya’ll know what the fuck your talking about what they did was a good thing and if ya’ll were here in my shoes you woul see why

    P.S. I live to be Anti-American

    Posted by: Reb at February 19, 2004 09:40 PM

    Ok, first learn to use punctuation. Second, no matter how your feeble mind comprehends it killing 13 unarmed people is not a good thing. Lastly, if I don’t know what I’m talking about would you care to enlighten me? Ooooh, you’re anti-American, that’s so original these days. Not to mention you’re truly original screen name.

    This next one is from my entry about the Columbine crime scene photos…

    Harris and Klebold are my HEROES

    Your parents must be real proud. See parents, this is what happens when you don’t monitor your kids time on the web.

    And lastly from my entry on the Columbine rampart range tape…

    bowling for bull shit, that fat smart ass. whats this coward coulumbine killers?? these people had serious problems like many other young americans. fucked up in the head yes but coward no. coward is neerdy people like you who pass judgment on a situation beyond your comprehention

    I love how all the mutant worshipers think they have some superhuman level of intelligence when they can’t even type a complete sentence.

    2/15/04: From the Mail Sack

    Only one this week, and of course it’s from my entry on the Eric Harris journal…

    I have respect to Eric and dylan for having the balls to show those little bastard who picked on them on how they dress and act and what kinda of music they listened to. Yea they should of gotten more of the people who picked on them but owell .

    Posted by: steven at February 14, 2004 06:18 PM

    I really need to work on those macros. You know, the one that says it does not take balls to shoot an unarmed person. It is the biggest act of cowardice in the world. They didn’t care about “getting” the people who picked on them. They shot random people. They were cowards, plain and simple.

    Once again though, one of my readers put it better than I ever could…

    I just spent like 3 hours going through old entries here and comments here in relation to the Columbine situation. I must say, after reading it that I am even more disturbed than I was before I read it all.

    It isn’t so much that there are people out there who think those kids were heroes. Somehow, that crap doesn’t even surprise me anymore. Unfortunate, but true.

    It’s the absolute lack of intelligence. Horrible sentences, atrocious spelling, statements made as fact which are truly only opinion (and usually bad ones). Very little actual research done into what these kids had done and where the blame needs to fall (it definitely isn’t just on them, where the hell were their parents?)

    When I was in Junior High School I was one of the least popular kids in my school (approximately 900 students) and somehow in high school that changed. So I was lucky. The hell I was put through in Junior High was plenty. But I never ever thought to kill anyone. It’s all part of growing up. It doesn’t now, and never will justify murder.

    Maybe if these people had actually learned something in school (like grammar for starters) they’d know that. And the person above who is the parrent (parent) of two beutiful (beautiful) children…all I can say is goddess help those kids if someone filled with such hate and ignorance is raising them

    2/8/04: From the Mail Sack

    Only one this week. Guess where it’s from. That’s right. It’s from my entry on the Eric Harris Journal…

    To Trench,

    Anyone who kills themselves is not a coward, it takes guts to do what they did. I admire them for taking a stand against the evils of American society, the only sad thing is that America has not learned from its mistakes and continues in its ways. never mind.

    Posted by: anon at February 3, 2004 02:19 PM

    The funny thing is. I don’t even have to respond to this one. A reader did it for me…

    Killing yourself doesn’t take guts. It’s the coward’s way out. These boys were too chicken to face what they did because they knew they’d rot in prison, so they killed themselves. They are the ones to blame for what they did. They knew what they were doing and knew the consequences for their actions and they alone were to blame. It’s a shame that so many kids had to lose their lives just because these boys were so messed up.

    I couldn’t agree more.

    2/1/04: From the mail sack

    I’ll talk about the Superbowl tomorrow. Right now, it’s time for mail.

    Of course, I got one about the Eric Harris journal….

    Eric and Dylan done it wrong……you dont randomly shoot…..you aim for the fuckers whop drove you too it….that said……they arent to blame…the school system is to blame….the adults who were meant to be protecting both the murderers and their victims are to blame.The parents,teachers…..Eric and Dylan are far from any blame if you can put yourself into their mindstate…….after suffering at the hands of mindless,selfish,selt centred conformists for so long …being teased and ridiculed for being ‘abnormal’ of course one day you will finally snap…and do any of you reading this actually think that when Dylan and Eric pulled the triggers they were thinking ‘Dont hurt innocent people….”…..Of course they werent!THEY were the innocents in the first place corrupted by society and driven to the massacre by the neglect of the school system and the cruelty of the other ‘normal’ students….So many of us every single day think of doing the same as Eric and Dylan did…..but we dont…..maybe we havnt yet reached that breaking point?Maybe we cant get the guns?How exactly DID they get those guns?I know how but HOW!How could that have been allowed to happen?HOW is it that the schools in America afterwards have (from what Ive heard) not taken the hint….and have (apparently….i live in europe so I cant say for sure…this is just what Ive read) cracked the whip down on kids they deem as being part of an alternative culture?Suppressing these kids(kids like me….kids like my friends….kids like Eric and Dylan) will only fuel their(our) hatred further.How many more Columbines will there be before people realise?How many more Dylan’s and Eric’s must emerge before society will accept that the freaks have feelings too?How many more people will die next time?Ill be bringing Columbine to the attention of the people running my school….but will they listen?No….theyl sit back and watch as the bullets fly and the bodies drop then after its all said and done…..theyl blame Marilyn Manson

    PEACE love EMPATHY

    Oh, for the love of God, can we get over the “blame society” crap already? Believe it or not kids, everyone is responsible for their own actions, fucked up childhood or not. They took up guns, they shot and killed people who had nothing to do with them at random. Yeah, they may have been harassed for being different. So were a lot of other people through the course of time. But how many times do I have to say it? That’s no reason to kill people. To all you people who insist on writing me to spew your crap about how great they were, I really feel sorry for you.

    And again from the Eric Harris journal entry…

    I AM 26 YEARS OLD….I AM AN ARTIST AND A MUSICIAN….AND I AM ALSO A PARRENT OF TWO BEUTIFUL CHILDREN. I WAS ALSO PICKED ON FURIOUSLY IN ALL MY YEARS OF SCHOOL WHICH FORCED ME TO DROP OUT. AND I ALSO REMEMBER WANTING TO KILL MANY PEOPLE IN MY SCHOOL JUST THE WAY ERIC AND DYLAN DID….I DID’T….ONLY FOR THE FACT THAT I DID NOT HAVE ACCESS TO GUNS. I FEEL MUCH SYMPATHY FOR THE VICTIMS OF COLUMBINE….BUT TO SAY THAT ERIC AND DYLAN ARE SCUM BAGS…. YOU ARE AN IGNORANT FUCK AND YOU WILL BE JUDGED BY GOD…… GOOD LUCK!

    Posted by: LONNNIE at January 27, 2004 02:53 AM

    *sigh* They killed 13 people. Maybe you should seek professional help to deal with those feelings of killing people you have. I need a macro that says, “A lot of us were picked on in school, but we DIDN’T KILL ANYBODY!!!!!!!!!” Remember people, murder is wrong. I feel sorry for your kids.

    1/26/04: From the Mail Sack.

    I know. I know. It’s Monday and I haven’t gotten to the mail yet. Well, your hero was stranded in an undisclosed location due to the winter storm here in the Carolinas. We’re expecting some freezing rain, so I may be absent again. So to make up for lost time, here’s the mail.

    Can a week go by where I don’t get a comment or e-mail about Columbine?

    I think that you people aren’t looking at why people look at the boys are heros,alot of kids MILLIONS of kids are torcherd in school for being different,and no one not even a teacher does a damn thing. In school there was a girl who beat me up and consantly picked on me to no end. She sits in jail now because she murdered a women with her car repeatedly running her over. Or the girl who lied and said i called her a nigger so she could get away with busting my nose in class while I got suspended for something I would never say. Yu all seem like the type of people who tormented me and my friends in school,I ended up graduating a year and a half yearly to get away from those people.Out in the real world,I am considered a creative and artistic prodigy,who are you to judge what you don’t understand?

    you wanna bitch at me or tell me you think I am wrong with valide points (not oh you are a dmubass) email me

    Posted by: althea_farmer at January 18, 2004 07:22 PM

    Obvious spelling errors aside let me tell you something, Miss Farmer. I and many of my readers were harassed and tortured in school. BUT WE DIDN’T SHOOT UP A SCHOOL.

    I’m sorry you had such a rough time of it in school, but again, it’s no reason to kill 13 people. Those two little mutants were not heroes. They were cowards for hiding behind a gun.

    And let me just say to all the kids in school right now who are thinking about some kind of school violence. It’s not worth it. High school is just a blip on the timeline of your existence. Once you graduate, you’ll never have to deal with those people ever again. I hated high school. But once I got out, I got over it. And I haven’t seen anyone from there in over 10 years.

    This was from my entry about the Mepham football players being sentenced.

    I’m a teacher at Mepham and I stumbled onto your website. Do you really believe that if those boys were sentenced to an adult facility they would have been rehabilitated? As americans, we have to trust in our system and judicial system, and believe that they know what is right.

    Posted by: rather not say at January 19, 2004 09:57 AM

    See. This is what’s wrong with our public school system in America. Screwed up priorities. It isn’t about rehabilitating the offenders. It’s about punishing them. By all definitions, they raped these kids. I guess since they were the star athletes that it’s ok. If you really are a teacher at Mepham, you should hand in your resignation. If you were teaching my kids, I’d have them pulled out of your school.

    This one was from my entry from when Bowling for Columbine was released.

    hey u fuckers are dumb this shit u type on here is all bullshit get a girl friend and stop waisting your time looking up porn on the net and get a life

    Um…I don’t know what that has to do with the movie unless this guy is a Michael Moore fan. That would explain a lot.

  • Mepham Sentencing

    Mepham Sentencing

    JUDGE SLAMS MEPHAM HAZERS:

    The 3 football players from Mepham High in Long Island were sentenced today for sodomizing younger teammates in a hazing attack with broomsticks, golf balls, and pine cones.

    One was sent to a boot camp, the other to a juvenile detention facility, and the third got probation after providing prosecutors with information.

    On the one hand, the punishment sort of fits the crime because in boot camp and juvenile hall they’ll be able to find out what it’s like to be intimidated by someone bigger than you or in a position of authority over you.

    On the other hand, the punishment isn’t enough. For all intents and purposes, they raped their younger teammates. Poetic justice would have been trying them as adults and putting them in a real prison where they can have a whole array of objects rectally inserted into them.

    These rapists will get out eventually. The victims have to live with this their entire lives. Hopefully, they’re in facilities like the one in the movie Sleepers.

  • The 2003 Trenchie Awards

    The 2003 Trenchie Awards

    To close out the year that sucked much ass, I bring you the 3rd annual Trenchie awards. Pickings were slim this year as I didn’t do a whole lot this year. So let’s get this over with.

    Best Move I’ve Seen This Year: Not a banner year for movies as I’m not a LOTR geek, but I’ll have to give it to 28 Days Later. A nice little twist on the zombie/apocalypse theme.

    Worst Movie I’ve Seen This Year: Highlander: Endgame. You do not kill Connor MacLeod. He is THE Highlander. Blasphemers.

    Best Album of the Year: Life is Killing Me by Type O Negative. I think that’s the best album title ever. Strong album too. A healthy mix of the previous 4 albums.

    Worst Album of the Year: Dance of Death by Iron Maiden. Lame title. Lame cover. Lame album. And I’m a huge Maiden fan. A big disappointment considering how much I liked Brave New World.

    Best TV Show of the Year: 24. Duh.

    Worst TV Show of the Year: The Simple Life. Reality shows suck in general, but does anyone really give a rats ass about these two skanks if their clothes are on?

    Best Wrestling Moment of the Year: When the ring collapsed after Brock Lesnar superplexed The Big Show. Total holy shit moment.

    Worst Wrestling Moment of the Year: When Kane attached jumper cables to Shane O Mac’s balls. I can only suspend my belief in reality for so much.

    Best Video Game of the Year: While other people were shooting up Vice City, I was destroying a major Japanese city in Robotic Alchemic Drive by Enix. I mean, what’s cooler than giant transforming robots destroying cities while they fight each other? It’s a hard game to find, so pick it up if you see it.

    Worst Video Game of the Year: Simpson’s Skateboarding. Another failed attempt in the long line of sucky Simpsons games. Tony Hawk, it ain’t.

    Best Movie Line of the Year: No winner this year. Nothing sticks out in my head as I write this, plus I didn’t see a whole lot of movies this year. Unless you count the beginning of 28 Days Later, when they were experimenting on the monkey and were making it watch violent television while keeping its eyes pried open. I turned to my wife and said…”Heh…Clockwork Banana.”

    Biggest Dumbass of the Year: War protesters. Get a job, you filthy hippies.

    Most Inane Political Agenda of the Year: After missing the mark in 2002 PETA is back in 2003 with PETA complaining that Arab terrorists were using donkeys to deliver suicide bombs. They didn’t care about the people being killed, just the donkeys.

    Biggest Jackass Celebrity of the Year: So many to choose from this year. With Natalie Maines and Jeneane Garafolo coming in a close second, but no one can even touch the jackassery that is Michael Moore. His offenses are too numerous to even try to list here.

    Happy New Year, everyone. I’m off to see the possum drop.
