  • Teenybopper Killa sentenced

    Teenybopper Killa’ jailed for online threats:

    It’s been a while since we’ve heard about ‘Teenybopper Killa’ Darren Thompson. The last we heard he was being held without bond. To make a long story short he’s a 24-year-old hotel banquet chef who held a long-standing grudge with people going back to grade school. He’s a mutant who made various violent threats on the internet. When the police finally caught up with him he had a cache of weapons. Check the link above for all the details.

    Well, apparently he was found guilty because he was sentenced to up to three years in prison on Tuesday.

    The self-proclaimed “Teenybopper Killa” was sentenced yesterday to prison after admitting in Superior Court that he made online threats against people who had picked on him when he was in high school.

    Darren Thompson, 24, of Shrewsbury was sentenced by Judge Kathe Tuttman to 2.5 to 3 years in MCI-Cedar Junction after pleading guilty to a litany of weapons charges.

    On Nov. 30, 2006, police searched Thompson’s home at 12 Whitehall Circle in Shrewsbury and seized from his bedroom an SKS assault rifle, ammunition, knives, “A List of People to Kill” (which included his mother) and a homemade “ugly stick” – a baseball bat with protruding nails to be used, in his words, for “bashing people until they are ugly.”

    Thompson threatened online to “kidnap, cut up” and “blow off” the heads of what were described as preppies and teenyboppers who bullied him at Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School in Marlborough and in New Castle, Del. On the Internet Movie Database and other Web sites last fall, he also claimed he was stockpiling weapons.

    Thompson made 250 printed pages of postings on the IMDb Web site between Oct. 10 and Nov. 27, 2006.

    Assistant Attorney General Wendoly Ortiz Langlois yesterday read Thompson’s Sept. 26, 2006, posting on IMDb that stated, “I wanna take my hate off-line and bring it into the real world.”

    Langlois urged Tuttman to sentence Thompson to five years in prison, followed by 10 years probation.

    The prosecutor said she found it “disturbing that a kid so young could have such demonic views.”

    According to authorities, Thompson’s hit list was categorized by school grade, starting in the sixth grade and ending with classmates at Assabet Valley. Thompson’s mother, Janet, and brother, Liam, were also on the list, according to court documents.

    You know, there really comes a time when you have to let go. Like the day you get out of high school, not 5 years after the fact. Plus he had a hit list that people on it going back to grade school? Grow up already.

    Police also found Thompson’s diary, which included a list of people he likes and dislikes, drawings of guns and violent scenes and pages where he showed his admiration for Columbine High School student Eric Harris, who, along with Dylan Klebold, killed 13 students and a teacher at the Colorado high school in 1999.

    Thompson said little in court yesterday. When Tuttman asked him if Langlois’ description of the facts was correct, he replied, “Yes, ma’am.”

    Thompson’s probation includes not contacting those on his hit list, electronic monitoring, mental health evaluations and not owning any weapons.

    I hope these won’t be Cho Seung-Hui type mental health evaluations. You know the kind, where if the court ordered visits aren’t followed through there are no repercussions.

  • 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.

  • Teenybopper Killa’s lawyer says charges are an overreaction

    Teenybopper Killa’s lawyer says charges are an overreaction

    Lawyer: Threat charges ‘overreaction’:

    Remember Darren Thompson? He’s the self-proclaimed “teenybopper killa” who made threatening remarks on a fan site for teen celebrity Jesse McCartney. Well, in true criminal defense attorney fashion, his attorney is claiming that the charges against his client are an ‘overreaction’…

    Mr. Thompson appeared in court yesterday for a bail hearing with his lawyer, Anthony M. Salerno. Mr. Salerno said he appealed the bail amount and wants it reduced, because the case is an “overreaction and over-prosecution.”

    “After my initial review of the preliminary evidence, I would categorize this as a situation where it’s more about attention versus intention,” Mr. Salerno said. “He (Mr. Thompson) certainly got attention for it, but not the way he was seeking.”

    Mr. Thompson did not post threats to anyone in particular, Mr. Salerno said, and his Web postings were likely a call for attention. Mr. Thompson was not charged with threatening to commit a crime, which is a charge police can file if someone makes a verbal threat to kill or harm another person.

    “I assert that there is a strong difference and a bright line between intentions and someone looking for attention. There is absolutely no evidence that he harbored any specific intentions,” Mr. Salerno said. “I would not consider him dangerous to the point where he should be held on excessive bail.”

    Mr. Thompson has no prior record. Mr. Salerno would not allow his client to be subjected to a mental health evaluation, which was discussed at the initial hearing Friday. “I wouldn’t let them do that because at this time, no mental health defense has been raised,” Mr. Salerno said.

    Let me refresh your memory on some of Mr. Thompson’s threats…

    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.”

    Just because a name wasn’t used in the threat doesn’t mean that Thompson isn’t a danger to himself and others.

    And let’s not forget the illegal weapons in his possession…

    Police searching Mr. Thompson’s bedroom closet Thursday recovered an SKS 7.62 x 39 mm rifle, 22 rounds of ammunition, and a nail-studded baseball bat Mr. Thompson called the “ugly stick,” according to court records.

    Mr. Thompson works at the Beechwood Hotel, according to court records. During the police interview, Mr. Thompson said he purchased the assault rifle for $200 from a friend at work, and the ammunition for it while on a hunting trip in Vermont in late October.

    And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention his mutant tendencies…

    Police also recovered a diary from his bedroom in which he wrote of his admiration for Eric Harris, one of the two high school students involved in the Columbine High School massacre in Jefferson County, Colo., on April 20, 1999.

    When state and Shrewsbury police interviewed Mr. Thompson, he allegedly told state Trooper Matthew D. Murphy that he was picked on in elementary school and high school.

    Overreaction? Hardly. As a matter of fact, I believe the judge under-reacted by setting Thompson’s bail at $25,000.

  • 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.
