IDIOTS RULE!

if you didn't immediately get the headline reference, please give a listen to Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction. - To say Patchogue is a diverse community is certainly an understatement. There are a broad range of morons and assholes that play a far greater roll in the area's stagnant state of being than whoever is being scapegoated this week. Here's the latest headline concerning this town.

Reward for info on hanged cat in Patchogue

A cat was found with a rope around its neck in a Patchogue backyard this week and a veterinarian's necropsy shows that the animal died of asphyxiation by hanging, Suffolk SPCA officials said.

The agency is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest of the cat's killers.

"The cat suffered quite a bit," said Chief Roy Gross of the Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Suffolk County police officers found the cat frozen with the rope on its neck in a backyard near Ocean Avenue and Montauk Highway on Monday night, Gross said. The circumstances of the hanging show that it was done recently, Gross said. "It doesn't appear it was there for long."

The SPCA is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest, and asks the public's help identifying those responsible.

"It is very barbaric and we will aggressively investigate this to find the person or persons responsible," Gross said.

"Acts of cruelty like this will not be tolerated in this county."

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Suffolk County SPCA at 631-382-7722. All calls will be kept confidential.

Gross said, "Due to the horrific way this cat died, we are posting a reward in the hopes that someone out there knows what happened to this poor animal."

Gen Y - smells like teen bigotry

PMHS - ahh the old schooly school has been in the news as of late due to a murder. It seems some crew got together with a lughead nazi tattooed (as it was reported on news 12 long island) jock -- though why he would have a black kid and a half hispanic kid in his aryan pipedream makes as much sense to me as the ol' bigots in my day who listened to Slayer (check out the ethnic make up of that band- hardly any white power at all.) and then these no go mothereffers decide to go and knife someone. If you watched the news clips one PMHS girl says something to the extent of "something must've happened. they weren't looking to stab anybody and then lughead stabbed him." What is appalling is that the thought hadn't entered her numbskull that 7 on2 isn't a fair fight in any situation, and what gives your goon squad the right to attack anyone?
So the details are this:

Nov 10, 2008
They told police they wanted to beat up someone who looked Hispanic.

That was the motive, police said, that a mob of seven young men had in mind when they attacked a Patchogue man, who ended up being stabbed to death minutes before midnight Saturday, Suffolk police said.

"These individuals told detectives that they were looking to beat someone of Latino heritage," said Det. Lt Jack Fitzpatrick, commander of the homicide squad, adding that the victim, Marcello Lucero, 37, is of Ecuadorean descent.

Fitzpatrick said the seven suspects drove around Patchogue searching for victims and found Lucero and another Ecuadorean man. The attack occurred at Railroad Avenue and Sephton Street in Patchogue, near the Long Island Rail Road station.

The seven jumped out of the car and cornered the two men on the street, police said. Police said the second man escaped unharmed and fled to a friend's house, where he and Lucero had planned to watch a movie. He called police and later helped identify the suspects.

The friend who had been waiting for them, Elder Fernandez, 36, said the mob fled and he found Lucero near Funard Court, a few hundred feet from where police said the stabbing took place, covered in blood.

Lucero was transferred to Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, police said. His relatives could not be reached last night. Fernandez said he has known Lucero since they were 10. "I saw my friend's last minute," he said. "It was miserable."

The teens, all of them white (NEWDAY GOT THAT FACT WRONG ) and who live in either East Patchogue or Medford, have been charged with what police say is a hate crime. All seven face a charge of first-degree gang assault. They were being held overnight at the Fifth Precinct in Patchogue and are expected to be arraigned in First District Court in Central Islip today.

One suspect, Jeffrey Conroy, 17, of 189 Jamaica Ave. in Medford, also was charged with first-degree manslaughter as a hate crime, said Fitzpatrick.

Another suspect, Christopher Overton, 16, has the same name, age and address, 9 Yacht St. in East Patchogue, as one who pleaded guilty to burglary in another fatal attack in May 2007 in which a 38-year-old East Patchogue man was shot dead when a group of teenagers robbed his home. A neighbor found the victim, Carlton Shaw, dead in his backyard, his 3-year-old son sleeping on his chest.

The others charged in the hate crime are: Jordan Dasch, 17, of 5 Lyndsie Ct., Medford; Anthony Hartford, 17, of 94 Greenport Ave., Medford; Nicholas Hausch, 17, of 36A Middle Island Ave., Medford; Jose Pacheco, 17, of 244 Hospital Rd., East Patchogue; and Kevin Shea, 17, of 301 Jamaica Ave., Medford.

A woman who answered the door last night at Conroy's home said, "We're not talking to anyone. Sorry."

At Overton's East Patchogue home, a man who said he was Overton's father said he believed his son was innocent. "I know he walked away from it" before the stabbing occurred, said the man.

A woman at Shea's home said: "We have no comment."

The other suspects and their families could not be reached.

The attack drew swift reaction from County Executive Steve Levy. "This heinous crime that led to the death of an individual because of his race will not be tolerated in Suffolk County," he said in a police news release.

The Rev. Allan B. Ramirez, pastor of the Brookville Reformed Church in Brookville, decried a climate in which hate crimes can occur. "Unfortunately, on the days after this nation feels so proud of having elected an African-American president, we have to be reminded of the saddest page in our history," Ramirez said.

"We're a very diverse community and have been for my whole life," said Paul Pontieri, mayor of the Village of Patchogue. "We've always had a very strong and very involved Hispanic community."

Conroy, who youth sports coaches recall as an outstanding athlete, said they were saddened by news of his arrest. "He was a very talented multisport athlete when he was younger," said Mike Botti of Holtsville, who coached his football team in the PAL. He said he was a star wrestler and lacrosse player at Patchogue-Medford High. "I am so shocked about this."

Fernandez said Lucero was a fitness buff who lived with friends. He said Lucero moved to America 16 years ago seeking a better life. "I can't sleep. So nervous," he said. "You don't know what's going to happen outside."

Staff writers Michael Amon, Reid Epstein, Dave Marcus and Gregg Sarra contributed to this story. - swiped from NEWSDAY.

So you have the Overton kid who apparently has terrible timing. He somehow is in a house robbery..someone get's murdered. He's driving with his buddies.. murder. Though we all rest assured his pop's knows for a fact he walked away from railroad ave all the way back to east patchogue before anything bad happenned. Judging by the shit piles this kid ends up in, i don't believe he was that ambitious on the night of the stabbing. come on. You'd think in the aftermath of the first murder the kid would see the light, turn his life around and be a model f'in citizen. NOPE. Pop Overton take your head out of your ass and stop the enabling.

Musick Reviews - AUG. 26, 2008

Okay here’s me trying to play catch up with the mail that I had received during my short 3 state – 3 year excursion.Between mail being forwarded from one p.o. box to the other I’m sure some shit got lost in the mail, misplaced in a move or lifted from my car or “borrowed”and never returned. I don’t really like calling these reviews as I’m sure that most people will find the narrative and points of reference pretty fucking useless.

TWO MAN ADVANTAGE/SUPREME COMMANDER split 7” (Basement Records, PO Box 511, La Habra, CA 90633-0511 USA)

www.basementrecords.net - NY puck punks Two Man Advantage return with two more hip checking, pogo in the pit friendly anthems. DC mofos Supreme Commander deliver the goods and give you three slabs of black dot era –esque Bad Brains fuesed with a bit of that post HC era of HC (does that even make sense) that was coming out NYHC around the time of ’89. Hard, fast, loud play this 7” at full volume. And if you need to get the digital version for your ipod and shit..welp, you bit the bullet. (7”)

THE RATFINKS “Detroit Fuckers” (Ratfinks, POB 359, Roseville, MI 48066) Solid oi!Ruck ‘n roll. Ratfinks start this disc of with the title track that has that shit kicker sound that made Oxblood’s Under The Boot 7” such a sweet disc back in it’s day. The tone flows into the second track “Fuck Ass”. The working class, boot boy ‘tude is present through out the 13 tracks. I love this shit. If I was to a scribble up “if you like these then listen to this” point of reference –think Subway Thugs, Oxblood fused with the sing a long oi-kaw that was turned out by the seminal American labels Vulture Rock and Headache Records. (cd)

Filthy 42s “Positively South Jersey” (Boot to Head Records, PO Box 9005, PDX, OR 97207) South Jersey’s Filthy 42s remind me a little of Social D, have bits of other Jersey bands that I remember, but that may be an embellishment on behalf of my ears. When the band plays loud,they’re fucking loud. Some of the aggro veers into a poppier (traditional rnr) place where I don’t care to dabble. Solid production and dare I say.. a little over produced. But that’s because I’m a bit biased, struck with tinnitus and prefer to have some shit in my cereal that posses some health risk or another.

v/a“Anti Disco League” (www.tkorecords.com)

Templar Phil compiles a who’s who of the current crop top scene. I know it
sounds like a cliché but there isn’t a week track on this one. A 16 track
global boot party. Fuckin A. BUY THIS!!! (cd)

Exit scenarios

Exit scenarios – so the interview is wonderful. A little unexpected but my gut was giving me a hint this morning. I shut off my intuitive side a decade and a half ago, as I was going mad when my bullshit detector wouldn’t stop ringing. I'd meet all these people..ding, ding, ding, all day long. It was maddening. I wanted to pretend it was a malfunction but time has taught me better.

Whewf, before I get too side tracked... Then they ask if I have any belongings in my office. They retrieve all my shit, which i kept simple. I didn't make the place my personal space. They get all my shit, bring it up to me, in order to prevent me from going postal. [I learned this at one of the "sensitivity" trainings that they sent me to. SO they have these exit meetings and emphasize that I not return to the building]. So I'm being let go as I'm not the go to guy. Which made me wonder a little, what makes them think I'd suddenly display the "get up and go mad" bug now?

As if I had that much ambition invested in an agency, ran by drones for people who will be sick and ill for as long as the state has dimes and beds to dish out. The mission statement is a bit muddied but they certainly better the lives of the needy by being condescending. They're all so darn fluffy and cute, each and every one the consumers. I wanna squeeze those bedbug infested cheeks and let out a loud "hoochie coo". Each weekly review meeting the room would be filled with canned "awws" "oohs and ahhs" the same sounds you'd get if you were playing Bambi for 7 yr olds. They treat 45 yr old grown men in the same manner that you'd deal with a 4th grade insubordinate (ever read that Judy Blume book?) A lady client steals a pocket book from a customer at a supermarket. She feels the pressure and ditches the belongings, but keeps the pocket book. Her explanation "I thought the bag was pretty." Ohh.. boy.. the room was yelping, awww.....butter being melted. You really have to love the industry.

Back to the "office" environment. Here, let me describe my joyous or is it joyless locale. A no window basement office, buried in the back of a fucking old converted house. Me, my personality surrounded by paper clip pushers who knew not to rock the boat and tow the line.

I played the game, faked the enthusiasm. I pretended to give a fuck, acted like I gave a shit at the appropriate times. I read the cues, played the role but apparently I wasn’t one of “them”.I made odd cultural references, didn't give a shit about American Idol and said so... I was...an antichirst..an anarchist.

I bore the brand that has long followed me around like a disease lurking beneath these layers of flesh. I didn’t buy this state of mind, didn’t buy into a lifestyle, hijack my insight. I thought like this before I ever knew what Punk Rock was. I had operation that placed a nice scar across my chest, and somewhere buried beneath my sternum the bullshit detector lays. It was my third eye, let me know how "they" perceive things, and they let me know I wasn't one of them. Oh well. Maybe the Buddhist argument is I am none of those things, I am all of those things. We are all of those things, we are nothing.

Things didn't go as planned. Oh well. The thing I most regret is not opening my mouth more. Letting the haphazardly know that I understand the plot has been laid out for the next bus to roll of the cliff. It's how things run, how things become billable.There's no point in being truthful when there's far too much money at stake. I feel bad for the doomed on the receiving end, they don't even know that they're being held down.

What ever the case might be, I’ve accepted what has been laid out before me, the road continues. The journey continues.. Melissa by my side and Sherman hopping along.. grazing on the homegrown cilantro. Here we go, three punks in a pod.

Wake up american punks!

The Mexicans have got a better clue than you.

@mEriKKK@n idle

Food shortages, a billion dollar a day war, one of the worst national economic climates in quite some time, environmental disarray, a president in power with the worst approval ratings ever. The fuel for what could be a million dead Kennedy clones, or what should be enough fucked up situations that the "music/artist" community should be getting their shit together and putting the 60s protest movement to shame. Should, should, should. but not tonight. Let's focus on the real issues. Who is going to win American idol?

David or David? The great debate that was allegedly occupying the minds of the Amerikkkant Idlin' intellectual sewer. The news channels were devoting their "news" time to present this frat house hazed cookie platter to the (m)asses, with the underlying message that the out come of this would have some profound effect on their candy coated dire existence.

It is important, tune in, phone in and participate. Keep track of the results on your computer, have the latest happening textd to your cell phone. Let the machine know exactly where you are when you are obviously consciously asleep. Let them know how the marketing strategies are working and exactly how much they have to administer.

Skip the real stories because they are boring and depressing. I do not want to have the mental burden of having to think about what I might have to do if there is no more oil, or if the corporate maintained food shortage gets the famine vote by the authorities at the next shareholders meeting. Will I have to get my manicured hands dirty, and work my own crops? I mean geesh... to have to be exposed to other earthen materials is…welps, frightening and discussing. Why can't I open a "punk" fashion and hair salon by "punk rockers" like Pete Wentz?

The thing about this cookie cutter pop poop spunk is the fact that it is so nauseating. The goofed on don't realize that they are on the butt end of the punch line. The line "turning rebellion into money" is no longer ironic. It's a well-constructed coke nose meth lab concoction (I mean recording industry niche). There's all this well penned pr sheets that try to link this factory cultivated bs as having genuine and organic roots in the DIY soil that we've witnessed the machine pulverize and turn into a withered dioxin dump like vast waste land. So you here all this Stockholm syndrome type of speech by co-opted anarcho types to rationalize why it is necessary to do business with people who rammed their asses so hard. The speech often alludes to necessary evils in order to do the greater good. Umm… okay. Nevertheless, don't dare write another street punk anthem calling your new pals to a battle that you yourself know you wouldn't fight.
