Online musings bent toward guns, violence
HIS MOOD, he listed as anxious. His username, in part, was "the killer." His motto: "Mess with the best, Die like the rest."
HIS MOOD, he listed as anxious.
His username, in part, was "the killer."
His motto: "Mess with the best, Die like the rest."
His interests: "Shooting . . . war, the North Hollywood shoot-out, bank robbers, the Columbine massacre."
The 14-year-old boy's page on MySpace, the social-networking site popular among teenagers, gives a chilling peek into the mind that authorities said may have been plotting a Columbine-style massacre at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School in Montgomery County.
The ramblings, riddled with grammar and spelling errors, profanity and teen bravado, suggest the teen is deeply disturbed and fantasizes about hurting people. The Daily News is withholding his name because he is a juvenile.
The teen has been charged with solicitation to commit terror and other charges after police found a number of weapons in his home Wednesday night, including a 9 mm rifle with a laser scope and dozens of air guns.
His mother bought the rifle for him several weeks ago at a gun show, police said. No ammunition was found for the rifle. The boy's mother and father may face criminal charges, pending an investigation, according to Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce L. Castor Jr.
The weapons were clearly visible in the boy's bedroom. Castor said he did not believe the attack was imminent. "It could have simply been big talking by a kid who thought that he was bullied previously and he was going to exact his revenge," Castor said.
But the talk was violent.
"I love to blow s--- up, and I'm a bit of a merc," he wrote in the "About Me" section of his page.
In his latest blog entry, posted in March, the boy wrote: "I am pretymuch the posterboy for the person that rests upon the line between Geineus and Madman/Pycopath, (23 ppl just left the page . . . ) feel free to messege me, and dont tell me how carzy I am, belive me I know, I have to live with myself 24 f------ 7. welcome to hell!!!! O and as 4 my personal saying . . . if at first you dont sucseed, use the armor piercing rounds."
In precious few postings, he seems like a typical teenager. He admits he adores the singer Avril Lavigne and the movie "Star Wars." He also inflated his age to 17.
But in other posts he lists his heroes as Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the Colorado teens who gunned down 37 people, 13 fatally, in their high school in 1999.
And, as other heroes, two bank robbers who got into a 1997 shootout with Los Angeles police, and two World War II snipers.
He also posted videos - one with a song apparently titled "Stray Bullet" - showing fictionalized school shootings. One video shows a scowling young gunman hunting down victims, shooting some at point-blank range, in a school library, a cafeteria, a hallway and classrooms.
Also posted is a link to a Web site memorializing Harris and Klebold.
He describes himself as a soldier, writing: "Im a soldier, my favorit rifle is the AK-47, my fav handguns are the M-92-F Beretta, and the Colt.45-m-1911-A-1."
He also claimed to be leader of the I.C.A. Military Group, which he explains only as the "Imperial Cobra Army."
"If the world was perfict I wouldnt be here," he wrote. "If I could travle back in time, I would love to be in all the wars, expecialy ww2." *
