    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

    Saturday Oct 8, 2005 @ 11:37 pm

    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.

  • All Worthwhile

    All Worthwhile

    Yesterday was not a good day in my little empire.

    It seems that I went way over my bandwidth allotment in just 5 days. It turns out then when I started doing the podcasts, I left the test MP3 file on my server and forgot about it.

    It was only 418kb in size. However, some unscrupulous persons, which I traced back to several IP addresses in Germany, downloaded the file repeatedly over and over and over again until it generated 13GB of bandwidth.

    At that point, between trying to deal with the spammers and what was basically a denial of service attack, I was really close to packing it all in.

    Then after I got all the sites up and running again, I received an e-mail from someone by the name of Mike. The subject of the e-mail was “Credit to Society” and it went a little something like this…

    First off, I want to thank you for debunking and debating the rumors spread by so many medias today regarding Goths, trenchcoats, and their connection to school violence, and a crumbling society in general. I myself cannot stand labels, but am commonly given the label of “Goth”, just because I choose to wear what I like. It’s not a means of expressing angst, or hatred, or a desire to be different. I just wear what I think looks good. It’s a relief to see someone that can appreciate an opinion such as mine, and agree with it, to any extent. Granted, I know my style of dress invokes such harassment from those that consider me awkward or different, but that doesn’t make it right. Thank you so much for voicing your opinion in the face of those who disagree. you are a real credit to Freedom of Speech, and society in general. People often don’t listen to me, or my beliefs and morals, being that I’m only going on 17, and it’s great to have someone to relate to, regardless of how much older you may be, or that I’ve never met you. I want you to know, for what it’s worth, that regardless of how many people may call you a menace or scum to society for having the will to disagree with them, you’ll always have me as an avid reader and supporter. Keep on voicing your feelings, and I’ll keep reading. Thanks again, for making life that much more livable. Keep on living, my friend. =)

    Mike, it is I who should be thanking you. You single-handedly restored my will to keep this site up and running for a long time.

  • 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…

  • Anatomy of a Mutant

    Anatomy of a Mutant

    I received an e-mail today from one of my usual mutants.

    For those of you new to the party, there are two breeds of mutant. Today we’re going to deal with the most predominant form of mutant, the school shooter-worshiping mutant.

    This particular mutant by the name of Edgar has a problem with the way I run things around here. He’s been previously banned for…well…being a mutant, so he sent me the following e-mail…

    This is from: Ed

    I just want to let you know, trench, that I’m deeply offended by some of the things you and your supporters say about the shooters. They were the only inspiration in my life and just because I am a ‘mutant’ as you childishly call us doesn’t mean I’m inhuman or less deserving of respect than any of you.

    Ok, Edgar, I want you to argue your point of view with me. For a limited time, I have rescinded your banishment to the cornfield in order to participate in this thread and this thread alone. Post in any other thread and your ban will be reinstated.

    I also want my regular commenters to participate as well, except there will be no name calling. No patronizing. We’re all going to discuss this like adults.

    My first questions to you, Edgar are…

    Are you still in school?
    If so, what grade?
    Why are two mass murderers your only inspiration in life?

  • 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.

  • 6/5/05 From The Mail Sack

    6/5/05 From The Mail Sack

    Haven’t done a Sunday Mail Sack in a while. Let’s get to it, shall we?

    The first one is from my entry on the Zero Hour documentary. Hold on, folks. It’s a long one…

    Nameless Says:

    Personally, I think Trench needs to think about his name calling against two people of which I doubt he would have called cowards and scumbags in person. I find your kind interesting, in that you can feel all high and mighty off of it, but it is sad because I highly doubt you would have said anything to them in person. Did you learn nothing from that documentary? I personally like to keep an open mind, giving everyone their own views and opinions and respecting them for such. However, Erich and Dylan were greatly misunderstood. I would also like to direct your attention to point that pieces of information, even on the day of the shooting itself, were false. Information such as the fact that the police, at one point in time during the shooting, believed there were more then two gunmen and even that there was a sniper on the roof. If you people search long and hard, and as well using more then one site for refrence so that you can reflect the material you find, you’ll start to understand things better…

    You call two men cowards who took their time to make several explosives, purchase weapons dispite being of legal age, carefuly plan, and actually killed people… Interesting… I wonder how many of you people can truely say that you would carefuly plant propane explosives, though they of course did not go off – I would like you to keep in mind that if they did, it would have killed an estimate of 300 or so students, and yet when those bombs didn’t go off… They still shot and killed people… Why don’t you ask yourself a simple question… What would a man with nothing to lose do?

    People like you, Trench, who think it is so great and wonderful to mock someone for being different and or because they do something outside of your beliefs or views, you people are the type of people who bring events like Columbine to reality. I, however, perhaps have no right to judge you or anyone. I don’t claim any drama calls for Eric and Dylans actions… I don’t sit here and say that they were doing it because of insecurity, though it was their so called fellow peers that aided in the reasons for them to do such things. I think that if you actually took the time to research materials out there, like per say Erich Harris’s journal entries or even go ahead and download the entire Columbine report (I can attempt to post a link to it actually if I can find it again but the version I found it in was in all PDF format) then perhaps you guys can start to understand the multiple sides to the story. Instead, you and the others are so quick to outcast them further because of what they did, regardless of the obvious that they themselves were victums. Some of the people they killed did not have anything to do with them actually, this I know myself. If you look at a lot of though, you’ll see that not a single one of them had a bad quality pointed out about them in any of the articles that were written about them after their deaths at Columbine. Interesting, don’t you think? There are more then just the sides of the people who were shot and killed. There are reasons for virtually everything. You would find it interesting to know that such things like the whole “asking so and so if they believed in god and then killing them because they said yes” were actually entirely false. You would find it interesting perhaps to learn that they didn’t have any real targets, dispite the fact that they did indeed say, “All Jocks Stand Up!” when shooting victims in the library. You can learn a good bit if you actually take the time to, instead of sitting here and mocking two beautiful people…

    Personally, I think Eric and Dylan were tragic heros… We need more people like them…

    Sunday May 29, 2005 @ 11:31 pm

    I may not have called them cowards in person, but I definitely would have called them scumbags because if they were still alive, they didn’t do anything yet to be called cowards. But being the two juvenile delinquents that they were, I definitely would have called them scumbags.

    So the police thought there may have been more than two gunmen. That doesn’t change the fact they killed 13 people in one of the most cowardly ways possible.

    And you go on about how careful their plans were, and that doesn’t make them cowards. It not only makes them cowards, it makes them psychopathic cowards.

    What do you mean, they had nothing to lose? Graduation was a short time away. If they thought like most rational people, they would have graduated and have been done with the school forever.

    I do not mock people for being different, unless, of course, they’re murderer worshiping mutants who don’t have the sense that God gave them. That’s not different. That’s just wrong.

    And do you mean the Columbine report that says Eric Harris’ so-called bullying was a whole two kids who made fun of him in gym class? The same one that said Dylan Klebold bullied a kid with a learning disability?

    They were not victims. What were they victims of? Upper-class suburbia? Spoiled rich kid syndrome? Spare me the blame society crap.

    And the Eric Harris Journal, yeah, I’ve read that too. I love it when people tell me to do my research when they obviously haven’t done theirs.

    Mocking two beautiful people? You have got to be kidding me. I see more as reviling two cowardly scumbags. They were not tragic heroes. They were two psychopathic cowards who couldn’t suffer enough for what they did. Seek professional help. It will do you some good.

    My last one is from my entry from when I started The Watchlist

    Sean Says:

    Oh how much I love what Harris and Klebold did. FINALLY someone has stood up for themself and told the world how they felt and I love what Jeff Weise just did also the revolution has already begun and no one can stop it not even you. 13-2 9-1 long live 4-20-99

    Wednesday Jun 1, 2005 @ 8:21 pm

    What revolution? What were they revolting against? Does someone want to tell me, please? Just remember parents, this could be your kid.

    The first one is from my entry on the now-defunct Panzerfaust Records trying to recruit school kids…

    Deutschlund Oberalist Says:

    :mrgreen:Let us not forget that more silently the Muslims are penetrating our society.

    Monday May 16, 2005 @ 2:08 pm

    I love first timers. First of all, the name you used to leave your comment is spelled incorrectly. Secondly, not all Muslims are terrorists, you racist prick. And lastly, your IP address traced back to the City of Houston. I hope you’re an employee there because I sent them a nice e-mail regarding your internet practices. Have a nice 3-day weekend. I hope it’s longer than that for you.

    This next one is from the 2/24/05 Mail Sack

    arf Says:

    yea eric and dylan are heroes to me so what!!!!!! they killed 13 people who cares if they were

    unarmed. i am sick and tired of undeserving people walking on this fuckin shithole of a planet.

    Columbine was a point in time to be rememberd as when two people took a stand for what they belive was there goal in life to take down as many worthless fucks as they culd!

    i wish i was there to have seen it. and if the so called “cowards” are burning in hell i will be very happy to se them when i get there!!!!!!!

    Saturday May 21, 2005 @ 7:25 am

    If you were there to have seen it, you’d probably have been killed. Do you think they would have cared about you? I doubt it. I hope you get to meet them too.

    Same mutant, different entry.

    arf Says:

    yes i want to shake there hands i want to pat them on the back and tell them what a great job they did.

    in response to earlier posts yes i am “psyco” and fucking proud to be! worthless motherfuckers will fall when the day is over!

    every1 is going to die you,me EVERYBODY!!!!!! so get over it. you talk about “god” you have no idea… there is no “god” all there is is mankind and it has no right to be here on this fucking planet. so enjoy the rest of your time on this earth because when its over your your gonna burn in hell just like i am and maybe then i will get to meet eric and dylan who really are “GODS”

    Saturday May 21, 2005 @ 7:41 am

    I’m just shaking my head at this one. Remember, people, this could be your kid.

    And it just wouldn’t be a Mail Sack without one from the Eric Harris journal

    christina Says:

    To FUX:

    if you think so strongly about that then why dont you fucking back up your theory of them being cowards? it takes balls to do something like that (not that you would know what it’s like to have balls or guts of any type). Even if you dont like what they did they are still revolutionaries, infamous ones, but revolutionaries none the less.

    Sunday May 22, 2005 @ 3:26 pm

    It’s not a theory, it’s a fact that they were cowards. Shooting random and unarmed people, then killing yourself to avoid any consequences is cowardly. There’s no debate about it. Revolutionaries? What are they revolting against? The spoiled white suburban lifestyle? Please. Cowardly, delusional, psychopaths. Nothing more.

  • 5/8/05: From The Mail Sack

    5/8/05: From The Mail Sack

    Let’s clear out the mail sack, shall we?

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

    Beachbaron58 Says:

    I have to respond to the word “coward” since it is used so many times here. Anyone who can do what Klebold and Harris did then pull the trigger with a shotgun in your mouth is no coward to me. They shot and killed other kids at close range not once but many times without batting an eye! These two gave the word “hate” a whole new meaning. I asked myself why I had an interest in the Columbine story and made prints of so much material? Same as everyone else five years later, the story is fascinating sad to say and we all know Columbine was just the begining but no way the end of such things. Other people will try to do better than Klebold and Harris, that is just the way things are.

    Friday Apr 15, 2005 @ 10:35 pm

    What’s scary about this is that in a previous comment, this guy said he was a 46-year-old Navy vet. And to address the issue at hand, yes they were cowards. If I have to explain why you haven’t been paying attention.

    The next one is from my entry about the Columbine death photos

    fegan Says:

    Erik and Dylan were solidiers of an radical opinion and they made all us anarchists and anti social revolutionaries realise it is time to make our mark we need to prepare the revolution is at hand it is time for society to stop all these black and white thoughts on right and wrong and listen with an open mind to our opinions on how society should work

    We our the children of cililzed society and the future leaders of this forsaken land that we are forced to dwell soon it will be ours lets get it better suited for our existance

    Friday Apr 29, 2005 @ 10:15 pm

    Ah, yes. No punctuation and almost no capitalization. The true sign of an intellectual. And let’s not forget “An radical opinion” Apparently being an anarchist or an anti-social revolutionary means failing English class. They were not soldiers of an radical opinion. They were psychopathic cowards. They didn’t even have the guts to face the repercussions of their own actions.

    And lastly…

    CORINNE Says:

     

    ERIC AND DYLAN HAVE BEAUTIFUL MINDS. THEY WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY FOR WHAT THEY DID. ERIC IS HOTT, I WOULD GO TO PROM WITH HIM.KISS KISS ERIC R.I.P. WHY DID YOU KILL YOURSELF?

    Thursday May 5, 2005 @ 11:03 pm

    All capitalization is worse than no capitalization. Also, does anyone care to take a guess at what ISP this “person” uses? That’s right, it’s everyone’s favorite polluter of the internet, AOL. Anyway, parents, see what your kids are up to. If this is your kid, they think that two people who killed 13 innocent people are “HOTT”.

    A little supervision goes a long way.

  • Nice mail for once

    Nice mail for once

    Normally, I don’t share my “fan mail” with you because it’s few and far between, and I don’t like to publicly pat myself on the back. But yesterday I received an e-mail from a man named Chuck. More importantly, Chuck is a parent, and he brought up some very valid points that, I thought, were important enough to share with my readers…

    This is from: Chuck

    My hat is off to you, brother. Your viewpoint is a lot like my own. Something does need to be done regarding the violence and other problems within our schools. These problems deal not only with unruly or just plain frigging stupid students but also the schools, school boards, teachers, and I believe most importantly parents. They need to wake the hell up and smell the napalm! I have three kids who have grown up and attended school in six different states throughout this country. They know my unwavering policies regarding morals, you know, right from wrong. Never had a problem because their mom and I became involved and stayed involved in their day-to-day activities. Not to suppress them or their ideas on different aspects of growing and maturing but to instill in them the belief that if something feels down deep inside that something is wrong. IT IS! It may be legal or actually on the verge of becoming so, if it doesn’t feel right it ain’t. Your web site. The info that you have available. Your own opinions and beliefs are commendable. How can you make more people aware of the existence of your site? That’s the question. Do so and you could be a huge part in getting info out to people who may not be aware of some of the lunacy going on in our schools. Thank you, brother. Keep it up. God bless you.

    Thank you, Chuck. If only more parents were like you, we wouldn’t be having these problems.

    But to answer your question, there is something you can do to make more people, specifically parents, aware of my site. Show them my site. E-mail it to them. Physically show them. Whatever it takes.

    Now, of course, they don’t need to see the political stuff or the goofy stuff, but they definitely need to see all the stuff I’ve posted about schools in the past 5 years. Specifically, my stuff about Columbine, Red Lake, Marshfield, Andrew Osantowski, other School violence, my watchlist, even hazing, and most importantly, my Hate Mail so they can see what kids are writing about these days.

    Not to over-inflate my own sense of self-worth, but parents need to be made aware of what’s going on in their schools and possibly with their own kids. Maybe then can these problems be avoided.

    Thanks again Chuck for writing, and this time it was my pleasure.

    It’s amazing that people still actually type like that. “TrEv46” is a “1337 hax0r” isn’t he? I advised him to learn to type like a human, as it will help get along better in life.

    They had a point? What point did they have? That they were psychopathic and mentally deficient in their reasoning? Yeah, we got that point.

    The only gods Harris and Klebold could be, are the gods of cowards and scumbags. What revolution will you be kickstarting? The one on typing skills or social skills? You’re in for a rude awakening, Junior once you enter the real world.

    This next one is from my entry on (what else?) the Eric Harris Journal which is a response to this comment.

    Christina Says:

    to FUX:

    you must be a fucking idiot. they were not cowards in any way. a coward is someone who shows fear when they are faced with difficult or painful situations. for one thing they took that difficult situation of being bullied every minute in school, and did something about it. for another thing, they had the fucking guts to actually kill themselves.

    suicide is not something that is an “easy way out”. how fucking easy is it to kill yourself? have you tried it? no? maybe your the coward to never go or do anything that might cause you pain.

    eric harris and dylan kelbold were now cowards, they were revolutionaries trying to stand up for themselves. i’m not saying i know what they really were, or why they did it. anyone who thinks they know why they did it is just assuming, steriotyping, and being ignorant. what i think they were doing is they were trying to make a stand against everything in their school. i think that since they were shown no compassion by anyone, that they were retaliating, and that they had every right to do so.

    Thursday Apr 14, 2005 @ 6:05 pm

    What’s scary is that the person who left this comment is a college student. From UMass-Boston to be specific. They must be so proud to see what their fine institution produces.

    I love the statement that Harris and Klebold were “bullied every minute”. Were you there? I doubt that you were.

    In reality, it was Harris that was the bully and Klebold his lackey. But keep buying into the myth like the rest of the mutant herd.

    Harris and Klebold are cowards because they killed unarmed people who had nothing to do with them. Then, in the ultimate act of cowardice, rather than face the consequences for their actions they took the easy way out by killing themselves. At least they saved the taxpayers money.

    They were not revolutionaries. What were they revolting against? The suburban white rich kid spoiled life? They were shown no compassion because they showed no compassion. And you dare say they had the right to take 13 innocent lives and injure dozens of others? How dare you. Your comment is an insult to the families of the real victims of Columbine. You have no right to talk about compassion. Get help. You need it.

    And lastly, from my entry on the Rampart Range Tape

    Katie Jo Says:

    😈 I ABSOLUTELY FELL IN LOVE WITH ERIC AND DYLAN! THEY ARE AMAZING!

    Friday Apr 15, 2005 @ 12:50 pm

    Behold the intelligence of the mutant throngs.

    The funny thing is that her IP address traces back to the Commonwealth of Kentucky Dept. of Information Systems. I’m sure they wouldn’t appreciate their internet resources being used to give virtual blow jobs to those two scumbag cowards.

    It would be a shame if someone dropped an e-mail to the administrator at the Dept. of Information Systems. And considering the poster left a link to their personal blog, they shouldn’t be too hard to identify them.

    By the way, by the time you read this, the e-mail will have already been sent. Have a nice day.
