Talk about 'making news...' sheesh.

Well. That's *one* way to jack up the Sitemeter.

Horrible story.

Figures that it'd be a LiveJournal user.

I swear, the site is a nesting ground for teenage goth girls who secretly want to kill their parents.

True, Dave - a common LJ complaint is "no one ever gives me comments!" Well, she doesn't have to worry about that now.

The whole business is sick. Is Rachelle weirdly reminiscent of Pauline Parker or am I just overanalyzing?

And her comments are up over 5,000 or so. Given the ones they're leaving up, I can only imagine what many of the marked "deleted" comments were. Bizarre.
Then there is the legal ramification that a minor's name is being bounced all over the MSM. Technology sure is changing the world, what?

True, Nichole - this isn't going to enhance their reputation any. But I have to put in a word for them; I have a livejournal account and read several others, which are a lot of fun. Not coincidentally, all of them are written by people over the age of twenty-five; less of the teenage-girl factor and more of the "I'm too lazy to use Typepad, plus I like the friending system."

They leave her LJ up, but took down the LiveJournal of Anne Frank?

Her last couple of blog entries are chilling, especially the one after she knew her mom was dead. Yikes.

I hope the MSM doesn't go nuts on this story like they did with the "day trader" who went on a killing spree a few years ago. HEADLINE: ALL BLOGGERS ARE DANGEROUS KILLERS JUST WAITING TO SNAP!!!!!

Jesus. All the freakazoids are on LJ, eh?

Well, with notable exceptions. I'm thinking that there's going to be a major clean up over at LJ. And my account was deleted a while back, thankgawd.

Eeeesh.

Ace!

Totally unrelated comment!

Drudge has a story up(almost certainly hyped/false) about a paralyzed South Korean woman walking again.

But wait a minute-- I thought we needed a *Kerry* Administration to witness this miracle?

I guess her sucky life is now truly, very, very sucky. At least she doesn't have to change the title of her blog.

Thank you, thank you, moral relativists everywhere! Thanks for making it possible, nay, easy! for nasty little teenage hoodlums to murder 'just cos we feel like it.'

We hardly know what we'd do without you or the ACLU.
