  • Court rules Columbine materials can be released

    High court rules on Columbine case:

    The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that items seized from the homes of Columbine killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold can be released to the public if Jefferson County Sheriff Ted Mink deems it a benefit to the public…

    The Denver Post is seeking notes written by Wayne Harris about his son Eric and Dylan Klebold; medical records of the teenagers; the audio and videotapes they made; and their writings, including school papers, notations in the Columbine yearbook and the diaries.

    And go figure…

    Release of the items was strongly opposed by the Harris and Klebold families and by Mink, who must now decide whether to release the records.

    Hmm, I wonder why. 🙄

    Judy Brown, parent of former Columbine student Brooks Brown, applauded the ruling.

    “I think the people affected by the Columbine tragedy have every right to see every piece of information out there,” she said. “I think the court’s made the right decision.”

    Now maybe we can finally get the real story. The ball is in your court Sheriff Mink. Will you be a man or will you continue to hide the facts?

  • Birthday in Hell III

    It seems I’ve riled the mutants once again. Apparently, they’re none too happy with the birthday wishes I had for their cowardly hero Dylan Klebold. One of my sources found this posted to one of the mutant message boards…

    Look at the one at the top.

    Some people have no tolerance or compassion.

    You mean like the tolerance and compassion that two teenage mass murderers had for their 13 victims?

    Hello Kettle, the Pot is holding on line 2.

  • 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.

  • 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…
    (more…)

  • Birthday in Hell II

    September 11th is not a good day in American history. Not only was it the day of the deadliest attack on American soil but 24 years ago today one of the Columbine gunmen Dylan Klebold was vomited forth from his mother’s womb. And like I presented to you last Friday the mutant worshippers of this cowardly scumbag had birthday wishes for him…

    Saxdomine:

    Hey Dylan!
    Congrats on NBK man! I know it didnt go the way you wanted it but it was closeSo 24? Big man! To bad your dead! Youd be one hott mofo!! Hell! you were when you were alive!! Anyway I wanted to wish you a happy b-day, and tell you that Ill be celebrating by turning 16! Haha your only 8 years older than me… nadda lot! haha

    Happy BDay Sexy!

    Because as we all know mass murderers are sexy. 🙄 Are today’s kids really this stupid? I hope this mutant is just an annoying minority.

    O.:

    Man, i wish we could have met before you did your mission with Reb, then we could fuck the world up together. I swear, on day, it will be fucking HELL ON EARTH! 24 years old, hum, you might don’t even give a fuck now, and i hope for you that you are not burning in hell… No… i guess you are nowhere, exept in some memories. Be patient

    Mission? No. It was nothing more than a killing spree. Missions are for soldiers, not cowards. At least this mutant realizes that his hero is burning in hell.

    Misty:

    ~Dylan~
    Your a very special person to many. I hope somehow you know this wherever you may be. I can’t even begin to express, how much you’ve helped me in my life. You will forever be cherished.
    Happy Birthday VoDkA!!<3
    -Misty-

    If a mass murdering scumbag helped your life then it must be really fucked up. You might want to get some real help instead.

    Emerald:

    Dylan,

    I’m glad you’ve finally found your ‘wam place’. You’ve done so much for me, and for many others as well. I hope your family, and you as well, have a day filled with good memories and the kindest smiles for you. You’ll be in our thoughts- know that many people care about you.

    Happy, Happy Birthday, Dylan.

    <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

    -Emerald

    He might not have found a “wam place” but we all know where his “warm place” is. Could it be…HELL!!!

    Tish:

    Dear Dylan,

    I want to wish you a happy 24th birthday today. You were a very special person to all of your family and friends, and I know that they are all keeping you in their hearts today. All of us are also keeping you in our hearts, and we wish you the best birthday ever.

    Tish,
    Webmaster of (some mutant website)

    Ok, I added that last part because I’m not about to give free advertisements for mutants. Klebold was not a special person. He was just a cowardly killing psychopath. What about the family and friends of the true 13 victims? I bet they’re not celebrating this cowardly scumbag’s birthday.

    And like I said before if these were all just teenage kids it might be dismissed as just a phase. But some of these people are adults. Are your lives so unfulfilled that you have to live your lives through mass murderers? Do you still hold on to high school even though it’s years behind you? You should have dropped the “woe is me” attitude the day they handed you the diploma. Or the day you dropped out.

    And parents, any one of these could be your kids. Do you want to be the next parent that’s being reviled in the media? No? Then do something about it.

  • Do they have birthdays in hell?

    Wow. It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. I’ve been really slacking off in my fascist duties. Anyway, while I was lurking in the valley of the shadow of the mutants I came across a German website dedicated to the two cowardly scumbags Columbine killers Harris and Klebold. The site is mainly in German (duh) and I’m sorry I’m not as continental as you but I don’t speak German. However, there is some English on the site and it’s in a section where mutants have bid birthday wishes to Harris and Klebold. Here are just some of the selections…

    Hey Eric,
    Happy Birthday! I cant wait until we meet in death. I’m sure your kickin it with Dylan and maybe Jeff right now. Your my hero, you and Dylan had the balls to what I can probally never do. Yes I could kill someone, but to pull a mass murder and then have the curage to let your lives go. I bow down to you for that. Not for leting yourself go, but doing what maybe everyone wants to do at some piont. Sometimes I swear I can feel you near me. But then again it could be my imangination that I want to know and be with you so badly. I think everyone here does. Dylan was right you guys are fucking god like.

    RIP Eric. I will always be by your side, and I love you.

    ~Sara “RebVodKa420FOREVER”

    ***

    Wazzup, D? Mmm.. I have no idea how to go about this. I’ve never written to a dead person before -especially not one as controversial as you. But I suppose I could just write what I feel.. So, as you predicted, you and Eric did have followers, and I suppose I fit into that category. I’m still trying my best to just accept it, but it’s not that easy. But you know what I’ve been thinking? I want to be you. I want that so much sometimes. I wish I had the courage to just act out my emotions. Some would argue that the difference between you and me is that I’m not stupid enough to act it out, and they’re probably right. But still.. The rush you must have felt is something I crave. I want it. I need it. But I can never have it. It would be such a bad idea. But oh, how I wish it was me in the library next to Eric resting quietly on his knee. If only you could have seen the chaos. What a birthday present, huh?

    ***

    Happy 23rd Birthday Dylan! Though We Never Met, I Still Care About You. You Will Be Remembered And Will Be In My Prayers 4-Ever. I Don’t See You As The Mean Person The Media Has Made You Out To Be- You’re Simply The Sweet, Shy, Nice Guy That I See. On Your Behalf I Will Blow Out A Candle 4 You On This Very Special Day- I Wish You The Best And May You Rest In Peace.

    Lots Of Love,
    Cindy

    I’d like to say parents these could be your kids but truth be told some of these people are actually adults and that truly is scary.

  • Oversimplified Theory

    I have a theory and as usual, it’s oversimplified.

    Eric Harris referred to himself as “Reb” which was short for Rebel. Now I couldn’t find anything in the web to suggest why he picked that as his alias. I’m sure the multitudes of mutants will let me know if there is a reason. Anyway, Columbine High School’s sports teams are called The Rebels. So my question is this. Why would Eric Harris name himself after something he hated so much since he allegedly hated the school and the jocks? Therein lies the problem. I don’t think he hated the school or the jocks. Like I said before I don’t think Eric Harris hated the jocks because he was allegedly bullied by them, which he wasn’t, I think it’s because he was jealous of them. He wanted to be them so bad it hurt and when they wouldn’t accept him he snapped. Outside of being a psychopath and a coward this also makes him nothing more than a jock sniffer.

  • Hearing Scheduled on Columbine Tapes

    And now back to our regularly scheduled insanity…

    Court To Hear Arguments On Columbine Killers’ Tapes, Diaries:

    The court battle continues to make videotapes, audiotapes, and writings by Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris public. Of course, the parents of Harris and Klebold are fighting to keep these things from being released…

    Wayne and Katherine Harris and Thomas and Susan Klebold argue the items are privately owned and not subject to the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act, under which a judge can consider whether to release certain documents.

    “We don’t think that the government should be able to turn a citizen’s personal writings or videotapes into a public record and be able to hand it out to the media just because they seized it under a search warrant,” said Gregg Kay, a lawyer for the Klebolds.

    It stopped being private property once your kids decided to kill 13 people, then it became evidence.

    Jefferson County Sheriffs also are fighting to keep these sealed. I wonder what they are hiding.

    Colorado’s Supreme Court will begin hearing arguments on September 13th.

  • This is why

    This is why

    Yesterday, Bookhouse Boy over at The Crime Spree did an entry where he made the following statement to me…

    Trench, in my opinion, wastes time when he bothers to debate these guys when they show up on his message boards. They’re the equivalent of Holocaust deniers, Trench.

    9 times out of 10 I would agree with Bookhouse Boy if it weren’t for instances like this.

    The other day I got an e-mail from someone named James and this is what he had to say…

    i haven’t processed this email into a verbal system so bear with me. i’m in one of those periods of transition, being 17 and a “pariah” at my highschool. it’s certainly of my own volition since i still enjoy acting the way i do…but, for about 3 years i was what you’d characterize as a mutant. i’m not anymore. this was because of stumbling across your site in one of my vapid searches for those two fuckers as well as other mass-murderers to re-read information that i already knew. when i read the articles on your site, scrolling down and down and down, the content seemed so disaggreeable. all of my reactions were anathematic, as though you just didn’t understand something. i now know this was utter bullshit on my part. for those years i thought that those two were something that i could relate to, but they were spoiled, unempathetic and utterly self-important in any sense of the word. they didn’t kill people who deserved to die, they didn’t leave the world a better place than they found it. there’s many other things…but i found your site a few times before i bought a computer, after i got one i joined one of those fucking message boards on the subject (and trust me it was pro-asshole), it took about 2 weeks of reading other peoples comments and opinnions of them to realize what the fuck this was all about, i saw myself by looking at all of the poorly typed idiocy. this was something of an existential crisis, because i’d been expelled/arrested/lost several friends/would have died because of this entire situation. i think you should display a copy of the script to the play Bang Bang You’re Dead, because after i read it, it really helped me realize that there’s no fucking point in having anything crossing the line of animosity for this kind of thing. also, i know a two paragraph blurb won’t change the minds of dumbass mutants, but you should try to clearly articulate to these people why the hell they should stay around and stop spending 70 percent of their day thinking about people they otherwise wouldn’t have liked in real life anyway.

    I don’t have to articulate it. You already have.
