Goths gone wild.

oneirophreniaA "gothic loner" is apparently to blame for beating some lawyer's wife to death in a trailer.
This is going to stir up another Columbine-style blame-the-lifestyle frenzy in the media, I just know it. But let's check out the data presented in that article: he scampered about his highschool campus drawing pentagrams on everything and claiming he was reading "The Book of Satan" (which may or not be LaVey's Satanic Bible), and he apparently killed the Vitale woman because he thought some marijuana-growing equipment he'd ordered had been mistakenly delivered to the woman's house. Beneath the supposed goth veneer, what do you have? In truth, nothing more than a fucked-up stoner.
The kid was probably as "goth" as a picnic basket. He probably wore all black and drew pentacles on his nuts because he was a fucking metalhead stoner--like all the kids who wore black in MY highschool back in the day were. They all thought they were bikers, carried butterfly knives, hated niggers, and smoked a pound of weed a day. If it weren't for the fact that they were so anaesthetized by the mary jane, they probably all would've ended up killing somebody. Despicable human beings.
