MySpace Gay Axeman Killed in Shootout
Self-professed “Juggalo”, high school dropout, and purported NeoNazi, Jacob Robida attacked two men in a bar with a hatchet, then shot another man in Massachusettes. He then fled, abducted a cyber girlfriend in West Virginia, eventually shot her, a policeman, and died in an ensuing shootout.
What does MySpace have to do with it? MySpace fails to screen members’ pages for violent themed speech, and does not report such speech to authorities, or at the minimum, disallow pages that contain such language. Robida used the chat programs, blog pages and friends postings to talk about his hatred for others. While such speech is protected under the first amendment, it is not protected under MySpace.
MySpace regularly deletes accounts that contain sexual material and language, and they delete accounts that are distasteful, such as pages created posthumously that lampoon the recently departed. For instance, after the death of Peter Jennings, dozens of pages cropped up about him and his propensity to chain smoke. If posthumous criticism of celebrities is not protected under MySpace acceptible usage, then hate speech and postings about violence should not be protected either. Jacob Robida’s MySpace page is here.
It contains some racist speech and some telling information on the psychotic murderer. For instance, this little gem of a poem:
PASS THE AXE
“Pass me something Sharp and Wicked and I’ll pass it back don’t worry I’ll pass it back.”
Hey click on the axe and grab it. Get your hands bloody baby! Add it to your page or put it in a comment box. Doesn’t matter where you put it just PASS THE FUCKIN AXE!
He goes on to say that his favorite murder weapon is a hatchet. These references are more geared to the “Insane Clown Posse” music lyrics than to naziism, but it doesnt matter. This scum bag is dead.
The whole sordid story from ABCNews here:
GASSVILLE, Ark. Feb 5, 2006 (AP) Two days after a violent rampage at a gay bar in Massachusetts, authorities said the teen suspect fled 1,500 miles to Arkansas where he fatally shot a police officer and a 33-year-old woman.
Jacob D. Robida, a high school dropout who friends said glorified Naziism, was shot twice in the head in a gun battle with police Saturday, officials said. He was critically injured.
After Thursday’s hatchet-and-gun attack at Puzzles Lounge in New Bedford, Mass., which injured three people, police said the 18-year-old fled in a green Pontiac and picked up Jennifer Rena Bailey, at her Charleston, W. Va., home.
“Apparently she’s had a prior relationship with this guy and had been corresponding with him,” said West Virginia State Police Sgt. C.J. Ellyson.
They were driving through the northern Arkansas town of Gassville when Officer Jim Sell pulled them over for a traffic stop. The teen twice shot Sell, 56, said Massachusetts prosecutor Paul Walsh Jr.
Witness Maryann Hoyne said she saw the officer’s squad car bumper to bumper with Robida’s car, and heard three gunshots. Sell was on the ground and Robida got back into his car and drove off, she said.
Sell returned a moment later to retrieve his gun, which he had left at the side of the officer, said Hoyne, manager of the Brass Door Motel in Gassville.
About 25 miles away, Robida drove over spike strips set out by state troopers and drove with two punctured tires into downtown Norfork. Robida’s car then careened into several parked vehicles to avoid a police barricade.
“When he wrecked he started firing at our officer and a state police officer, and the officers returned fire,” said Baxter County Sheriff John Montgomery.
The teen shot the woman in the car with him before he was wounded in the shootout with police, Walsh said. State police wouldn’t confirm Walsh’s account and said ballistics tests would determine how the woman died.
The good news out of all of this is that this idiot’s friends on MySpace swear that the police had the wrong guy! They claim that the assaults were perpetrated by someone that hated Jake and wanted to set him up to take the fall. I guess this proves my theory that MySpace is just “Homepages for Dummies.”
“It contains some racist speech and some telling information on the psychotic murderer.”
Excuse me, i am a juggalette from Michigan and ive been a juggalette since i was 4 years old. First off id like to inform you that the juggalo community is known to be distinctly against racism and bogotry. Yes their music may contain homocidal lyrics but its not what they’re doing that is the message, its who they’re doing it to. From what ive learned from psychopathic records, they go around clensing the world of bigots, preachers who molest little boys, people who beat their children and wives, people filled with greed, mostly extremely wealthy people who do nothing for the poor communities but shun them, these are lyrics from a popular song Assassins off of the Amazing Jeckel Brothers cd by Insane Clown Posse:
Hypocrite, he was a bigot so I cut off his head
Poured on the holy water, “Bless the dead” is what I said
And heard the demon screaming as his body bled
Now does that sound like a band who condones bigotry? Pshychopathis records shouldnt be blamed for some neo-nazi who goes around killing people, many people have killed people with hatchets, just because the juggalo community has a hatchet as part of their appearance does NOT mean this is the reason this kid, whos obviosly mentally unstable, picked it as a weapon of choice.
The juggalos are all about many diffrent people coming together, a good world where everyone gets along and the ones who are bad they kill them (not literally of course) and send them to hells pit, and if they live good and fallow the carnival (god) then they will go to shangri la (heaven).
? Long obscenity-laced cut and paste here
the whole message was revealed in the wraith: shangri la in the song thy unveiling when the insane clown posse stated:
Juggalos are about acceptance, they accept everyone rich, poor, black, white, everyone, and we call them “Family” and we make sure they are never left to felt out of place, or alone, we make them have somewhere to fit in and be among people who’ll love em like a brother or siter and have they’re back in every situation, friends come and go but Family is for life and i just hope you people think twice before accusing juggalos and juggalettes for peoples actions. especially ones that dont even fit the message that psychopathis records sends out.
Much Clown Love – Downwith2dope
Wow, what an amazingly long diatribe of idiocy you just spewed! Let me sit back for a second and laugh at it like its a four-foot turd that I just made in the toilet.
You are not a Jugalette. You are an idiot fan of a shitty band. Your band does not have superpowers, fuckwit. They are not God. They do not perform miracles. In fact, they can’t even perform the miracle of making words rhyme.
You said From what ive learned from psychopathic records, they go around clensing the world of bigots, preachers who molest little boys, people who beat their children and wives, people filled with greed, mostly extremely wealthy people who do nothing for the poor communities but shun them…
Um, no they don’t do any of that. If they did do that, I guess they missed one with Jake Jekyll here. What they DO however, is make loud annoying music, and sell tickets to people that are three steps below goths on the social scale in High School. The Insane Clown Posse is only a footnote about American 1990’s culture. And face it, they will never be cool like Kiss. Hell, I think GWAR is better than ICP.
BTW, how much does being a jugelette pay? And if you want to reply, keep it pithy. No more rambling stooge lyrics, okay? I’m going to snip out the long, uninteresting, and obscenity-laced sections of your previous comment.
Wow — I actually had to look this shit up on wiki…. I didnt know what the hell this moron was talking about. BTW — myspace has removed all this dudes comments and friends. Oddly – when I checked — it said he was online now. Satan must have newly installed DSL…
Yeah, they took the old JakeJekyll MySpace site down today. I guess someone finally flagged the page as offensive. But Taylor Behl’s myspace page is still up and online, so its not that MySpace has a policy against dead people having pages. Just dead people who commit hate crimes.
You know, the poster above also exhibits all of the symptoms to having joined a cult- belief in acceptance, that the ICP are divine, that the ICP can perform miracles….
She should join a cool cult like the Scientologists. At least that way she would be able to get on TV.
pats a fag and needs to stop judging other people for the things they like just because he hates his life doesnt mean we all have to join and your pety insults make me laugh im so happy that me speaking my mind got to you so much that you had to rebuttle an ignorant paragraph of nothing of worth get a life dude im a juggalette you think people dont talk crap to me all the time thank you and by the way no one ever claimed that icp could do miracles or claimed they were god so go fuck yourself and stop masterbating in front of the computer fag
What a timely response! Most would think after 2 and a half years retards like you would learn to spell and use punctuation, but of course they would be wrong. Thanks for proving that. I think its hilarious that in the same breath, you admonish me to get a life while proudly declaring that you are a juggalette. Talk about irony.
FUCK ALL YOU HATERS LOES AND LETTES FOR LIFE, DIS STUPID ASS PAT MOTHA FUCKA IS GONNA DIE IF HE ALREADY HASNT MMFWKCL WHooP!!!!!whOOp!!!!! R.I.P. ALL THA FALLEN HOMIES
