I believed at the time that the jailing of Coss was a game changer and it convinced me to abandon the letters campaign altogether. I rang up Coss’s local police station again after he was sent down to make it clear that I would take responsibility for the letters which were sent to his neighbours. Although there were also involved in the sending out of those letters other ‘behind the scenes’ people who have never revealed themselves to the trolls in any way and like to work quietly in the background, I had been the main instigator and if there was to be any trouble over it then it would only be fair that I take responsibility. The police appreciated me contacting them and, while they said they understood as to just why I had felt the need to take such out-of-the-ordinary steps, warned me never to do it again as it could possibly lead to police having a body on their hands should vigilante actions occur against the sickos in their neighbourhoods.
Which I accepted totally as a very fair point. This was always something that was in the back of my mind during my outing campaign against the RIP trolls, and it was something that I accepted might happen. Either that or the suicide of one of the outed trolls. I believe that I could live with the suicide of one of them quite easily in the sure knowledge that the troll was guilty of awful crimes - and harassing bereaved families is an awful crime - and that no actual human being had been harmed, but the thought of it all so inciting someone that they would take one of these creature’s lives and then have to spend possibly decades behind bars because of it was something that troubled me greatly. If I could have put all of those scum-things up against the wall then and without fear of the law shot them all I do believe that I could have done it without ever feeling any regret, but I’d hate to see an actual human being having his life destroyed over the sake of one of those entities. I did used to warn them that someone is going to end up killing one or more of them and that if it happened then the shit would really hit the fan as regards RIP trolling. I would have taken full advantage of it and used it to talk up the problem to a media that would have eaten it all up. I did used to ponder whether I would have been able to stop myself from trolling on Facebook about the dead troll. Something tells me that at any rate I would have laughed heartily at any trolling which did commence.
In the end though, it is they who are ultimately responsible for any hate or violence or other consequences that arise out of their evil, and at that time I felt as if the only thing worse than outing them would be not outing them. I never made up anything about them nor did I ever put words in their mouths, and all those who had those letters sent out about them were all as guilty as sin and have admitted as such themselves. The trolls protested greatly when I used to out them on walls or to their neighbours and mention the sexual slurs they like to make against named children. ‘But we’re not real paedophiles, we’re just trolls!’ they protested. That may be so but I certainly wouldn’t recommend any of you as babysitters. What is beyond dispute is that they gain immense pleasure from going around making paedophilic remarks about children both living and dead. Anyone who does that has some cheek complaining then about being labelled as a paedophile. With ropes wove from their own words shall they be hung.
One of their number who is without doubt a real paedophile is one who has most usually went under the handle of ‘Frankie Desmond.’ Celebrated by his fellow cultural critics as one of the most depraved - and therefore adored - of all trolls, ‘Frankie’ is known to be from Dublin and was one of the few trolls I have ever witnessed being ‘daring’ enough to post actual child sex abuse images onto Facebook. A message he once sent to an anti-troll, who he thought a real troll, shows the disturbing workings of his mind:
its no big deal, i say satanism but its just a sic passion for sexual depravity, i constantly fantasise about a satanic orgy of pure lust men and women fucking and sucking while a child is tied up in front of its parents and raped and tortured, mind control like as well as the torture and humiliation of the helpless parents making them do stuff in order to save their child only to fuck with their heads eventually let pit bulls savage them one by one.
See how fuckin sic i am, am i alone i wonder if only i could find likeminded. You must wonder wtf is he?
I reported him in person to An Garda Síochána, the Irish police, and although I had at that stage grown used to all this sort of stuff, I could see how shocked the policeman who took my evidence was at the whole tale. I don’t believe that ‘Frankie’ has ever been caught.
There is also a fondness among some of these entities for private messaging children with pornographic pictures or with lewd sexual suggestions, the screencaps of which they will then display for the delight of their fellow non-human creatures. Corrupting innocence is seen as something to aim for (Rule 15 of the unofficial ‘rules’ of 4Chan’s /b/ board states that: ‘The more beautiful and pure a thing is, the more satisfying it is to corrupt it’) and there have been instances that I have witnessed when they have openly organised themselves on Facebook to flood children’s websites with hardcore pornography of both the straight and gay varieties, along with bestiality and necrophilia photographs and images of people who have died violently, including people murdered in the Holocaust. I have seen some of the necrophilia photographs they delight in sharing out about among themselves. At least one of the bodies being defiled is that of a child.
One troll, who calls himself ‘Mitchell Henderson’ after the young suicide victim and who IP’s to Indiana State University at Bloomington, for instance organised in 2010 a number of pornography raids on various children’s websites. For each raid the trolls were to all go to a certain children’s Web forum or wiki at the same time and flood them with those kinds of pornographic and violent images. One of the sites, the troll announced, was intended for 8 to 12-year-old children. A now well-known British female troll posted ‘Can’t wait’ in relation to that raid.
Said that troll who calls himself ‘Mitchell Henderson’ of one attack he was organising on a children’s website for August 3rd 2010:
Ok 2 hours to go, so I figured I’d make a list of some things to do during the raid.
Lure the kids into viewing shock content
Posting anything gererally [sic] offensive
Attacking idividual [sic] users
Get a thread going on /b/
Remember these are young inoccent [sic] minds, so be as sick and twisted as possible. Also do your best not to attract mods, however I think there are very few.
Later on he sent this message out to the trolls who were going to be taking part in this raid along with him:
10 minutes till raid time, if you haven’t made an account go ahead and do so and lets get ready. Remember to be as sick and twisted as humanly possible, we want to scar these kids for life.
The psychotics who do these things will often claim that they are ‘just trolling’ and that their personas are for the Internet only. When confronted they will repeatedly deny that they are really sickos and will claim that they are merely ‘playing’ at being depraved. It should go without saying though that you don’t ‘pretend’ to be a perverted child abuser by gaining pleasure from showing eight-year-old children pornography. And you don’t ‘pretend’ to be evil by tormenting the parents of a dead child. If you do those things you are a perverted child abuser and you are evil - there’s no pretending about it. If these trolls don’t do the same things offline it’s because they know they’d easily get their skulls smashed in for it if they did, and not by pretend hammers either. ‘We only do it for the lulz,’ is an often trotted out excuse for their behaviour. Yes, the ‘lulz’ that you get from showing children dead bodies being sexually violated. As if that’s meant to make it all understandable.
A country that was not on the list for that great unrealised letters blitz and which contains a number of trolls whose dox I am in possession of is Australia, for the reason being that it had, for a short period at least in 2010, been in the forefront worldwide in tackling memorial page trolling. In the June and July of that yea
r two Australian trolls were arrested and charged in relation to their criminal activities on memorial pages, and both of them were part of that main Facebook trolling ring. By far the most infamous of them is Bradley Hampson, a then 29-year-old who trolled under the name ‘Dale Angerer,’ an identity stolen from an old Bundaberg schoolmate of his on whom Hampson reportedly wanted revenge. The second is Jessica Cook, then aged 22 and a revolting beastie of a thing who when she got to court pathetically claimed that bullying in her childhood made her do it.
When 4Chan fanatic Hampson was around he was the god among trolls and so naturally he was also the biggest target for troll-hunters such as myself. Even the police in Australia had publicly declared that they were hunting for him and it was obvious to all except him and his chronically deluded fan base that he was going to fall and fall hard sooner or later. ‘Dale Angerer’ became possibly the most infamous RIP troll on the Web at that time, and the real Dale Angerer was having to deal with it in the form of death threats about him personally from people who were convinced that it was he who was actually doing the trolling. There was even a Facebook page set up with the aim of gathering enough information with which to track him down and I witnessed people on it discussing about how they should travel to his city in order to attack him. Maybe just bluster, but the hate was real enough. As with the real Olivia Rooney, the pitchforks had come out for Dale Angerer.
The troll Dale had gained notoriety for the amount of photoshopped images he had made featuring faces of deceased children superimposed into pornographic scenes, which he haunted Facebook day and night placing on memorial pages dedicated to them. Two attacks in particular by him of this nature on pages set up in memory of two Queensland children had created national headlines and outrage in Australia. The pages had been trolled heavily by dozens of other trolls also (an infestation that once again came from 4Chan), but it was Hampson’s posting of his home-made child pornography that really shocked Australians. For this outrage earned, ‘Dale’ sat atop of the dung heap and was treated with adulation by the rest of this subhuman collective.
But the bigger they are the harder they fall and it was the police who in June 2010 eventually tracked him down to a shared house in Brisbane, seizing his computer and other materials and arresting him. He was refused bail by a court for his own protection and the highly-publicised news of his capture and the seriousness with which his offences were being dealt with lit a fire of ecstasy in the souls of us anti-trolls. He was, at least as far as I and others are aware, the first individual in the world to be taken up to court to answer charges relating to memorial page trolling. Things had just gotten real for the trolls and they went about in a daze.
I made an ‘RIP Bradley Paul Hampson’ page on which we all could publicly celebrate this wonderful news and we partied on it for days before reportage by the very emotional and hurting trolls caused Facebook to delete it. Tower Cat, an old-style troll who despises the RIP variety of troll and who instead trolls the trolls, made for it what is still one of my favourite ’shoops - ‘Dale’ having to explain to the murderous looking criminals inside prison that ‘Trolling is an art.’
I myself especially enjoyed posting on it a screencap of a message I had received from ‘Dale’ just three days before his arrest in which he arrogantly declared that the noose which I told him was around his neck wasn’t ever going to tighten (he finished the message by talking about a violent sexual fantasy he said he was having about a 12-year-old boy). I had received information from the troll Josh that ‘Dale’ was an old school friend of the real Dale Angerer’s and I had messaged troll Dale with it and some other snippets Josh had given me so as to gauge his reaction. The information did later prove itself to be correct and when I received it I contacted a woman from Bundaberg who knew Dale Angerer to give her this information, but in the end it was the police that finally found the troll by tracking his IP address.
Peter Partyvan came onto the page to tell us that Bradley Hampson would get off ‘scot-free’ and was then going to sue us all over the ‘harassment’ we were supposedly inflicting on him. ‘You just made sure he never has to work another day in his life,’ crowed the ever-ludicrous Peter. ‘The ultimate troll retirement package.’ Similar sentiment was expressed by the rest of them, incredulous that their ‘game’ should be interfered with by the authorities in such a manner.
In the end, Bradley Paul Hampson got – along with a lifetime of inescapable infamy - a three-year prison sentence for possessing and distributing ‘child exploitation material,’ and his name also ended up on an online Australian paedophile watch list. The court heard that he had ‘morbid fantasies’ about dead children and police said that they had found in his possession a collection of almost 200 images depicting children being abused and as the victims of sadism. Hampson used to talk with great delight on Facebook about how much he got turned on by the thought of children’s bones breaking as they were being murdered.
‘Wendy Woods,’ one of the female trolls and herself Australian, came onto my ‘RIP Bradley’ page to tell us that she loved Hampson’s work so much that she wished to marry him. She also dared the police to come around to her house to try and arrest her for trolling, bragging that she’d send them packing with their tails between their legs should they dare. In an earlier message sent to another anti-troll she had boasted that she had ‘no respect for the law’ and can do what she wants. She also expressed a wish for one of her victims to take her up for harassment in relation to her trolling so that her solicitor could ‘tear their heads off and shit down their throats.’
Well, the month after Hampson’s arrest the police did indeed come calling at ‘Wendy’s’ house and she reacted by going into a panic and hiding her computer in her bedroom cupboard, causing a police diving team to search the nearby river where she claimed she had thrown it into. Once she broke down in the police station and confessed to the cops there the true location of her computer, ‘Wendy Woods’ - or Jessica Chantelle Cook as she is known to her mother as - was charged with one count of ‘using a carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence.’ The transformation of Cook from loud-mouthed arrogant bully to scared and simpering little girl is further proof that these trolls don’t possess the mental capacity to understand the true realness of all this until it comes knocking loudly on the door with a search warrant in hand.
At that time Wendy Woods was the troll sweetheart, on a high since her posting of obscene images of headless corpses and diseased vaginas onto a memorial page for a murdered 22-year-old Australian woman had created media outrage and earned her a great many male admirers amongst the rest of the cultural critics.
‘Got a story in the local news paper [sic] today... They even mentioned my name... Wendy Woods... I was so proud all my hard work has payed [sic] off,’ wrote Cook on her Wendy Woods profile, going on to say that she was keeping the newspaper clipping ‘to show my children when they grow up.’
She also wrote that ‘Being annoying does not = win... causing hurt to greiving [sic] familys [sic] = win’, before again taunting the police to even try and bring her down. ‘I really don’t give a fuck if I’m exposed, I’d be quite happy to go down to the police station for this... I would give em a peace [sic] of my mind,’ grunted Cook.
Ashen-faced and wearing dark glasses she arrived at the Gympie Magistrates Court on August 2nd to plead with the court that being ‘depressed and lonely’ and having been bullied in her childhood had somehow magically forced her into preying on the bereaved. She was given a three-month jail sentence but released on a two-year probation order and barred from accessing social networking sites, and I have been told that she is something of a pariah in the community now (still an all, I would have liked a reason to have made some photoshops of her getting bashed by Bea Smith of Prisoner Cell Block H fame).
Yeah, it was all fun and games until they started getting their lives ruined over it.
Then it was fecking hilarious.
Cook’s real identity had
been known to me even before her arrest, and I had gotten a fake profile onto the friend list of her genuine Facebook account and so was able to see that just before her downfall she had written as her status: ‘My life is perfect now, try to fuck it ill stomp ur face in!!!!,’ which gave me lots of lovely LOL. Her downfall became even more spectacular when a few days after news of her arrest broke I released onto Facebook screencaps that showed that she had been feeding me information about the real identities of some of her fellow trolls, and she quickly turned from the trolls’ favourite cause into their favourite target. What me being on her friend list and so having access to her personal photos had also given me was perhaps some knowledge that the trolls didn’t then themselves possess, which was that far from being the sexy, slim, and leather-clad femme fatale that she online pretended to be, she was, like Sean Duffy, an actual real troll. I can easily imagine this creature with its hunched shoulders and dreadful, inhuman face clubbing wild animals to death and then gruntingly dragging them back to the cave to feast raw on their stinking innards. Jessica Cook is an unholy abomination: she looks exactly how you would imagine a female RIP troll to look.
