  • A mutant killed Cassie Jo Stoddart

    A mutant killed Cassie Jo Stoddart

    State Presents Sentencing Recommendation for Draper:

    I hadn’t heard about the murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart until today. She was a 16-year-old Idaho girl who was brutally murdered by two people she thought were her friends, Brian Draper, and Torey Adamcik. The murder was more than vicious, and the two teens actually videotaped the murder.

    “Just killed Cassie, we just left her house, this is not a f***ing joke,” says Brian Draper on the homemade videotape. “I’m shaking,” replies Adamcik.”I stabbed her in the throat and I saw her lifeless body just disappear,” says Draper.

    Both were tried as adults and convicted. Currently, they are going through the sentencing phase.

    And guess what. It turns out one of them, Brian Draper, is a full-fledged mutant.

    This is a passage written by Draper that was shown in court today. Titled Columbine, it reads: “I am becoming more and more obsessed with Columbine. It seems now that that’s all I think about. I would give anything to go back in time, and be a part of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold’s lives. They are my heroes. I will follow in their footsteps and maybe I’ll even meet them.”

    A series of some pictures that were also found on the hard drive of Draper’s laptop were displayed.

    Many were from the Columbine shooting; others depicted various ages and types of people holding a gun to their head.

    Too bad he can’t meet his heroes sooner rather than later.

  • Bonelli conviction upheld

    Bonelli conviction upheld

    State upholds Bonelli conviction:

    Robert Bonelli Jr. was sentenced to 32 years for shooting up the Hudson Valley Mall in Ulster, New York and wounding two. After his arrest, “Columbine memorabilia” was found in his house, i.e. he’s a mutant.

    The Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court upheld Bonelli’s conviction. Bonelli claimed that his public defender provided an inadequate defense.

    You know it’s hard to provide a defense when you’re caught shooting up a shopping mall.

  • V-Tech Rampage hits the press

    V-Tech Rampage hits the press

    Ryan Lambourn

    Outrage over Virginia Tech game:

    V-Tech Rampage has made it to the mainstream press, in Australia anyway. The game’s creator, 21-year-old Ryan Lambourn, is just another mutant.

    Lambourn said that while he felt remorse for those who had lost friends and relatives in the massacre, he also had sympathy for the gunman.

    “No one listens to you unless you’ve got something sensational to do.” he said. “And that’s why I feel sympathy for Cho Seung-hui. He had to go that far.”

    That’s a great message to send, isn’t it? If you don’t get your delusional way, go out and kill a whole bunch of people. Pathetic.

    Let’s throw in some disrespect for the victims as well…

    The game text also refers to “Emily”. Emily Jane Hilscher, 18, was Cho’s first victim. The subject of his infatuation, she was shot in a dormitory.

    “Emily stayed overnight with her boyfriend, Karl, again last night. He’ll be dropping her off at school as always …,” the game text reads.

    And sprinkle in a little bit of internet tough guy…

    Players who fail to shoot the characters get the following message at the conclusion: “Mediocrity. You let Emily get away!

    Are you always full of shit, McBeef? Try again, this time don’t be such a wuss.”

    Mix it all together, and what do you get? Just another attention whore mutant trying to cash in on a tragedy.

    Or as one blogger put it…

    “People like this need to be publicly beaten,” reads one blog comment. “This asshole is possible the worst little piece festering of pond scum in years.”

    Word.

  • Marlee Johnston’s dad helps write law for blended sentencing

    Victim’s dad helps craft bill requiring blended sentences:

    Ted Johnston is the father of Marlee Johnston. When Marlee was 14, she was bludgeoned to death with an aluminum baseball bat by 14-year-old Patrick Armstrong.

    Armstrong allegedly admitted to cellmates that he enjoyed every minute of it. So it comes as something of a surprise that Ted Johnston has helped write legislation that would allow juveniles convicted as adults to spend part of their sentence in a juvenile facility prior to turning 18.

    Ted Johnston said it’s wrong for juveniles who have committed even the most despicable crimes to be placed in adult prisons. He has been working on legislation drafted by the Attorney General’s Office that would require blended sentences for the youngest offenders.

    Remembering his daughter Marlee as kind and compassionate, Johnston said he is trying to pay homage to that part of her through his own actions.

    “We don’t need to be abandoning people _ even when they did something as horrible as Patrick (Armstrong) did,” Johnston said, referring to Marlee’s killer.

    “I don’t think that’s right,” Johnston said. “I know Marlee wouldn’t either, so to honor her memory we had to make a change.”

    Under the bill that Johnston helped develop, those under 16 who are tried and convicted as adults would be placed in juvenile facilities until they turn 18, and only then be transferred to adult prisons to complete their sentences.

    Deputy Attorney General William Stokes said the legislation addresses the rare circumstance of someone very young committing a very serious offense.

    “The dilemma we faced with Armstrong was we had a very young victim, and very young suspect who was also 14, who committed a horrendous act and very serious crime,” Stokes said.

    Maybe in Maine, it’s rare, but just by reading this site you can see that it’s not so rare in other places.

    Anyway, I have no problem with juveniles spending part of their sentences in a juvenile facility until they turn 18. However, don’t confuse compassion for weakness. I still fully endorse that juveniles that commit such horrendous acts like the brutal murder of Marlee Johnston still need to be tried as adults.

  • The Mutant Report

    The Mutant Report

    To some online, gunman is a hero, martyr:

    We have an article here from the Detroit Press about people who idolize school shooters. Apparently, it was written by Captain Where The Hell Have You Been For The Past 8 Years.

    In the videotapes Cho Seung-Hui sent to NBC in the midst of the Virginia Tech massacre, he spoke of his children, brothers and sisters and compared himself to Jesus.

    Many may shrug off such rantings as those of a deranged killer.

    But not everyone.

    “Cho Seung-hui, we fringed ones salute you,” reads one Web site that praises the bloodshed just days after the country recoiled at the deadliest shooting spree in U.S. history.

    Rowell Huesmann, a professor of psychology and communication studies at the University of Michigan, called such sentiments “disgusting.”

    But, he added, there’s a reason for them.

    “There are disaffected people who are alienated, for one reason or another, from society who wouldn’t do anything physically violent,” he said. “But writing these gives them a chance to be aggressive to society in a way that’s fairly non-risky.”

    He says non-risky, I say cowardly. Get back to me when one of you mutants has the balls to say this to a family member of one of the victims. Then again, that would require you to leave your mom’s basement.

    If Cho wanted notoriety as a martyr for the disenfranchised, history indicates he’ll get it.

    That’s what happened with Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, students at Columbine High School in Colorado who shot to death 12 classmates and a teacher before turning their guns on themselves eight years ago today.

    And locally, it happened with Andrew Osantowski of Clinton Township in 2004. The then-17-year-old was accused of stockpiling an arsenal to gun down classmates and blow up his school, Chippewa Valley High in Clinton Township. His plan was thwarted after he shared it in an Internet chat with a teen in Washington state, who told her father. He, in turn, called Clinton Township police.

    Online, Osantowski was praised.

    “I, for one, salute Mr. Osantowski,” a Web site posting read at the time. Osantowski, who was convicted of threatening an act of terrorism and using a computer to threaten terrorism, was sentenced to 4 1/2 to 22 years in prison.

    I wonder which site that was. Oh, yeah. It was this one. What the article fails to mention is that the person who made that comment has since recanted his opinion of Andrew Osantowski.

    But hey, if it opens the eyes of some parents who have at-risk kids, hopefully it will avoid another Columbine or Virginia Tech.

  • It’s official: Cho is a mutant

    It’s official: Cho is a mutant

    I just finished watching the NBC Nightly News. It’s the first time I’ve watched a TV newscast in a very long time.

    Brian Williams was discussing the “manifesto” that Cho Seung-Hui sent to NBC. In it, Cho refers to the Columbine killers, Eric Harris, and Dylan Klebold, by name, calling them martyrs.

    So he’s nothing more than a mutant copying the actions of two cowardly scumbags.

    The flames of hell burn a little more yellow tonight with the addition of another coward.

  • No bail for Teenybopper Killa

    No bail for Teenybopper Killa

    Hearing set for ”Teenybopper Killa’ ”:

    Darren Thompson, the self-proclaimed Teenybopper Killa, has been ordered held without bail until a dangerousness hearing for Thompson is held this Friday. To refresh your memory, Thompson was arrested after making violent threatening comments online about how he wanted to kill all the “preps” and “teenyboppers”. When police searched his house they found a cache of illegal weapons, including some that were homemade.

    As mentioned before, Thompson is also a mutant of the highest order. Now we know a little bit more about his fascination with Columbine…

    Police said Thompson’s journal also described how he intended to use the weapons and referenced Eric Harris, one of two teens who murdered 12 students and a teacher at Columbine High School in 1999, according to court documents.

    “One day, there will be another school shooting on the news, I’ll laugh and SMILE and jump for joy the next time I hear about one,” Thompson allegedly wrote, according to court records.

    “I could snipe you in the head with one shot and drag your body into the woods and no one would ever hear of you again,” he allegedly wrote.

    When questioned by state police, Thompson admitted to admiring the Columbine killer.

    Thompson became “visibly angry and started rocking back and forth in his chair, explaining how he was picked on by all the “preps” when he was younger,” during an interview with State trooper Matthew G. Murphy, court documents showed.

    What’s sad is this fool graduated from college and had a job as a hotel chef. He was probably making better money than most of the “preps” that he went to school with. And the poor fool couldn’t let it go, and kept that hate inside of him all these years. What did it get him? Two counts of possession of a firearm without a permit, possession of a large capacity firearm, improper storage of a large capacity firearm, and a long stay at the Graybar Motel.

  • Teenybopper Killa wanted to kill his mom

    Teenybopper Killa wanted to kill his mom

    “Killa” had mother on his hit list:

    Just doing some vacation clean up, so the next few entries are going to be brief.

    To start it seems that the self-proclaimed Teenybopper Killa, Darren Thompson, wanted to kill his own mother too.

    When police searched Thompson’s home, Stone said, they found a diary in which he penned a to-kill wish list in that included “teenyboppers”, his mother Janet, with whom he lives, and his brother, who spends most of his time at U-Mass Amherst, where he attends college.

  • Patrick Armstrong pleads guilty to manslaughter

    Judge Accepts Plea Deal In Armstrong Case:

    It’s been almost a year since I’ve posted anything about Patrick Armstrong. The news out of Maine hasn’t been exactly forthcoming. With this story, we get a year’s worth of news all at once.

    For those of you who may have forgotten, Patrick Armstrong was 14 at the time he was arrested for the murder of 14-year-old Marlee Johnston. During the investigation, police found a website made by Armstrong where he professed his admiration for serial killers and the Columbine killers, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.

    Today, Patrick Armstrong pleaded guilty to manslaughter. In return for his plea, he’ll serve 25 years with 9 years suspended.

    Tell me if this sounds like manslaughter to you…

    Armstrong is accused of brutally beating 14-year-old Marlee Johnston to death. In testimony Friday in Augusta, a state police detective testified Johnston was beaten repeatedly on the head with an aluminum baseball bat. The detective also said Armstrong told a fellow inmate that he “loved every minute of it.”

    Detective Adam Kelley testified Johnston went to Armstrong’s house to see if she wanted him to join her in walking her dogs. They were neighbors in the town of Fayette.

    So Marlee Johnston befriends Patrick Armstrong and in return, he bludgeoned her to death. And now he’ll be out when he’s 30, possibly sooner.

    It could be that the Johnston family may just want to put it all behind them. If that’s true, I respect them for that. However, in my opinion, not enough justice was served.

  • 23-year-old chef arrested for violent threats and guns

    23-year-old chef arrested for violent threats and guns

    Web hater had preps in sights: Threats led to gun bust:

    This is a bizarre one. A 23-year-old banquet chef by the name of Darren Thompson was arrested in Shrewsbury, Mass. on Thursday for making threatening comments online and having stockpiled weapons like an AK-47. It’s the targets of his threats that are unusual.

    In shockingly graphic online postings, Thompson railed against “mind numbing” pop culture and teens who shop at preppy stores such as Abercrombie & Fitch. He bragged he would one day be “on the news” for a killing spree.

    “I’d love to kidnap a teenybopper and cut her up real good before blowing her head off with a shotgun loaded with buckshot,” he wrote in a posting Monday. “That’s what they deserve.”

    State police were tipped off to Thompson by someone who read his hatred-filled postings on a fan bulletin board for teen pop star Jesse McCartney.

    Why am I writing about this story? This is why…

    A Shrewsbury chef who dubbed himself the “teenybopper killa” and cited Columbine killer Eric Harris as an inspiration was nabbed with a stash of weapons after making online threats to snuff out “preppy” teens, authorities said.

    Police said they also found a journal in Thompson’s bedroom that referenced Eric Harris, one of two teen outcasts who killed 12 students and a teacher before committing suicide at Colorado’s Columbine High School in 1999.

    “Thompson told me that he respected Harris for what he did because Thompson himself was picked on in elementary school and high school,” state Trooper Matthew Murphy wrote in court papers.

    This continues a disturbing trend of pathetic, morally deficient losers who can’t seem to let go of their high school years. Not unlike Kimveer Gill or Sebastian Bosse. You may say pathetic morally deficient loser is a little harsh. To you, I say this…

    Police served a search warrant Thursday night and arrested Thompson at the Shrewsbury home where he lives with his parents.

    Some more of his ranting…

    In a bio on the Internet Movie Database site, he writes of the teen celebs: “They all suck, and don’t deserve the fame they have. Anyone who supports preppy teenyboppers is a (expletive) moron with the intelligence of bird (expletive), and I wish I could meet you so I could smash you in the face and break your (expletive) arms.”

    His most violent tirades are saved for teenage girls, some of whom he urges to come to his Shrewsbury home to “fight” him.

    “And what the (expletive) does everybody have against a guy hitting a chick? What do girls expect? To be unharmed because of their gender? That’s a (expletive) rip off,” he writes.

    He even gives out his Whitehall Circle address and warns that he’ll be “waiting” with his SKS assault rifle, the same type of gun police confiscated from his home.

    “This anger I have towards the types of people I hate is only gonna get more intense as I get older,” he writes. “So yeah, I think I will hurt and kill at least one disgusting preppy teenybopper before the decade is over. I can only hope. Watch, I’ll be the guy at the top of the clock tower.”

    And here are even more tirades of his from the Jesse McCartney fan site.

    So he’s been out of high school for at least 4 years. He’s working as a banquet chef, which is probably a lot better than a lot of his class is doing. And yet, this mutant still rages on about “preps” and “teenyboppers”.

    Once you get into the real world, there are no more preps and other cliques. There are only other people who you have to cope with in daily life. People like Thompson are no better than the people who allegedly bullied him. Still stuck in a high school mentality. And what did all his hate and thoughts of violence get him? Probably a long stay in prison, where he’ll wish he was still being bullied in high school.
