TheTrenchcoat Chronicles

So what if his movies are horror films it doesnt make him a threat because of his films. Ive wacthed alot of his films seen all of his sites which only really advertize his upcoming movies and previous films:cool:

You don’t pay attention much do you Junior? Did you not read this part?

Could it be that other students and law enforcement mistook his film making ideas as a possible plot against his school?

I never said I had a problem with his films.

people are making to much of a big deal about this…do not listen to the rumors…and don’t start them…i know joe wouldn’t do this

I attend GSHS and I don’t want either of these students anywhere near campus

arent they like magic??? wont they get here one way or another?joe and ray are a bunch of freaks if you ask me…..

thats bull shit i think that we should just find where they live and just beat the shit out of both of them:twisted:!:

Considering one of them is in prison and the other is under house arrest. That will be a good way to get yourself thrown in a cell. Dumbass.

them bitches are magicians, theys gon use they magic powas to kill all the white homeboys at gshs. but you know what? i bet homeboy wont be wearin all them sex bracelets up into court. holla.

The actions of others in response are the problem at hand, to want to violently act out is the very reason these boys are locked up. To say they shouldn’t be allowed back at school or to go to their homes and beat them up as one said makes you just as bad as they are. It’s the fear of what they could have done that gears these response. They have been caught and stopped no true crime has taken place so the extreme actions and out burst of others are uncalled for. I am neither for nor against what I have seen and heard for the most part, it’s because this is not my problem and no longer the problems of others. This is a time for the family and the 2 boys to seek out help and treatment, allow the authorities to take care of this for they know a lot more than what is being leaked out on the news. Simple put — Calm your ass down and just let it go, it’s not worth troubling your self with the actions of others. If you care that much then look around, everywhere has similar problems this is only 1 of many. The better solution is to control and to teach control to others so things like this will not manifest, to act or to harm will only fuel the problem.

well CHANCE, how about you wake up every day and go to a school now surrounded my media and security. these boys wanted to MURDRER many innocent people. No one did anything to them. I mean, Ray just won our high school talent show for his magic tricks, if anything, they were welcomed. If you think they should be un punished or allowed even NEAR campus you are about as insane as they are. I go to school now in fear. And what if no one came forward. I could soon be dead.

I know Joe Meredith personally, and I think he’s a victim in this case because of his attitude and personality. I don’t think he really wanted to murder anyone. He’s big on films and such, which you can see from his MySpace, and what I have HEARD was that he was planning to make a movie about a school shooting, which sounds about like something he would do. I think it was a rather stupid thing for him to do, but I don’t think his intentions were what everyone makes them out to be.

I am not saying let them go unpunished, but I am saying the punishment is not in the hands of the public but that of the law. This is an issue that must be dealt with but your fears and emotions should not press you into actions that are just as bad. Would you like for me to pity you or feel bad that you are hurting??? Why! Because of something that could have happened??? And what then will you or your friends think if this wasn’t what it appears, what if this was just your generation acting like the idiots they are. These boys could as well just be doing a stupid stunt with no intent of ever harming anyone… then what… can you let them back, can you overlook a mistake? Or will they be met with violence? But each person has the right to live, but as well take responsibility for their actions. If these boys are GUILTY then lock up, strap down, house arrest or what ever is the action needed that is decided by the courts not you. If INNOCENT then what? 7 years ago I was in the middle of 2 school out burst such as this and I saw how INNOCENT or GUILTY was never the case and I dealt with not fear of the what ifs but the FACT of knowing and not being cared or heard. People want to compare this to Columbine, well fuck them this is no Columbine, this isn’t the death of many and the day after wondering how to go on, this is just a SCARE, a could have but wasn’t. But you want to know what to really fear… not taking my advice, you will see if not already people being associated to those boys being bullied and beaten for nothing, you will see dumbasses who want to copycat the idea because of the attention it will bring. You will see REAL problems and not just petty threats… I am sorry that you are in fear and I know that my words seem harsh or unrealistic but you do what you have to, to calm down as long as it does not deal with acting out in other CRIMES. And if those boys are cleared of any wrong doing, then look at their actions as stupidity but don’t jump to the conclusion that they are about to end your life. If they are cleared can you return to your stress free life? – Your school’s 15 mins of fame is almost over..

I know that no one said anything to that last statement but I just wanted to add. A simple way of looking at it, to JUDGE right or wrong is for the court to decide not us. And to act out in criminal behaviors is not right nor justify. I don’t want to see people making bad mistakes from what they heard or thought, even if worse came to worse I don’t want to see people over stepping their place to lash out to give their own sense of justice. And furthermore I don’t want to see people become bias and IF the situation turns out that they are innocent that people feel that they are still guilty because of the views formed during this time. —- When falsely accused of a crime, because of others even the innocent has to live as the guilty. —- so does anyone really have a problem with me saying think out you views calm down so you don’t jump to any extremes and don’t take part in crimes. —– Because call me crazy but I thought that’s consider reasonable and understanding. But hell, its just advice, take it or leave it.

get over yourselves! yall know nothing at all about theses two kids. they are awesome people who had a life and future ahead of them until yall started coming up with these god blessed rumors. just stop already. half of you just want them out of our school because you think that they’re wierd, and yoor afraid of what you aren’t used to. well get used to them already! you are all abunch of idiots. and you put two kids in jail, who didn’t do anything! just stop with it already, it’s gone too far. and i would personally be ashamed of myself if i were you.:mad:

you guys..i know joe really well actually…he has had a bad life..horror films and so forth facinate him..and there is nothing wrong with that at all..i’ve seen his film like 3 times and it is just a short splatter film..nothing in it is threating anyone at GSHS…you guys should get to know the person instead of judging him on what other people had said or by what you have heard…i know he wouldn’t kill anyone for no reason..and rey likes shock value.he also has a BIG problem with lying..if you haven’t noticed..he likes to shock people..and this did…i honestly believe nothing is or ever was going to happen…and people..STOP SPREADING CRAP YOU HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT!!!!

ps. joe is NOT a bad person…rey isen’t either..but they both in my opinion just need a littel(alot of) help..and NOT locked up

i agree with michelle…you guys don’t even know them..i don’t know rey well…but i know joe very well..and he is amazing

i don’t want to see joe in prison for something he didn’t do:cry:

Hey, I knew JoJo Meredtih. I grew up with him from preschool. He was always a good kid but he was always into making movies. Even back in elementry school he talked about it… only then he was more interested in Aliens. He was always so sweet… My guess is that he fell into the wrong crowd and his movie making abilities went a little to far. I will always have faith that he might once again become the good kid i once knew. I Still Have faith!!!!!

Movie! Movie! It was a bloody movie! Are the courts not going to take into consideration the fact that the boy has other somewhat morbid independents? Are the courts also not going to take into consideration the fact that they kids who claim to feel threatened by him are taughnting him, calling him a freak, and saying they’re going to “beat the shit out of both of them?” That doesn’t sound to be the words of someone who feels as though they are in immediate danger to me. I know Joe, and after hearing of Ray’s interest in magic tricks- I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ve met this kid, too. I may not have known them my entire life, but I do know them well enough to know that this is all a huge misunderstanding. Everyone who knows anything about them knows that they are INNOCENT. These kids have potential, I don’t want to see them thrown away because some redneck punks piss and moan about them being different.

To No Name;
It is people like you describe who end up killing someone. Exactly because they have not had a good life and they need attention. You yourself mention how they like to shock. Well, guess what? After a while the shock value escalates and they may actually end up killing someone. Am I saying they would have? No, the fact is we will never know. Should we say they are innocent because we don’t know? No, because then someone may get hurt in the future. I guess the best we can do is let the system take care of them. The system is not always right, but I guess it is the best we have. However, I think it is pathetic that some attention hungry freak has managed to make a whole town feel unsafe and afraid. These kids should get a life and pour all their resentment towards life into something positive.

OMG some of the things ya’ll have said is rediculus, you don’t threaten to shoot up a school, and then when you get punished for it, say it was a joke. Now we don’t know that he was kidding or that it was serious, the only people that know that are those two young boys. But i personnaly don’t want to sit around and find out. They deserve to be punished. And stop all the bull shit about them only getting punished because their different. i dont care if the captin of the cheerleading squad did it, THEY STILL DESERVE TO GET PUNISHED!!!! What if it wasn’t a joke and then the ‘alleged’ day rolled around and no body had reported it… Would you guys think different.. exactly!!!

These kids are innocent. Now their childhoods are ruined. One under house arrest and going to have to deal with the snails pace of the adult judicial system. The other is sleeping on a concrete slab with a 1? foam mattress. Locked up. 15. Away from his family. There is NO evidence. What is this stupid shit about taking evacuation plans? These are GIVEN to EVERY STUDENT at the begining of school in the handbook. DUH? And I think the kids know which door they entered that morning to find their way out….I know these kids. They are smart, funny, kind, generous. Not an evil bone exists. Joe writes screenplays for movies. Horror movies. Hate to see what they would have done with M. Knight Shamalyn’s computer. Yes,he has an imagination. He has been creating movies since he was 8. The 15 yr old is a magician. And a good one. He wants to be a Lawyer one day. Boy, does he have experience with the unjust legal system to draw from. These are kids with long range plans. Not the Dylan and Eric with NO plans for the future.
They wouldn’t sacrafice their future, nor would they hurt a living soul.
And honestly, did Dylan and Eric ever go to school and say, ‘We are going to shoot you all’?

where can i see this boy’s website or blog or whatver pictures/movies that were shown on the news.???

So much controversy…
Michelle, I dub you the bomb.
This argument is getting repetitive…
I know they wouldn’t have done anything. Everyone who knows them knows they wouldn’t have done anything. They know they wouldn’t have done anything. And all of you anti-Joe/Ray’s don’t know they would have.
I keep hearing kids say that just because you know someone, doesn’t mean you know what they’d do.
I highly doubt you feel that applies to you and your friends.
It is possible to know what a person is capible of.
And neither Joe, nor Ray, is capible of murder.

ok…to angry…hmm…well that’s what you think they are described like..but do you joe or rey personally?…i’ve said this many times i know joe meredith very well..and i know he is not the kind of person who would do this..he is so amazing and very sweet person. you ‘angry’ cannot judge him by how you say people describe people like that..that would kill someone..do you get what i’m saying?..ONCE AGAIN..I KNOW JOE MEREDITH WOULD NOT KILL ANYONE…

AS I’VE BEEN HEARING ON MYSPACES….’FREE JOE MEREDITH’

ALREADY!!!

There have over 40 school shootings since 1995. All were known as nice kids. There have been 17 kids arrested in the last 4 weeks in the U.S. and charged with terrorest crimes, all most likely nice kids in their small town. No one has seen the evidence and the police are not going to let us see it until there is a trial. But while we wait I am glad our community did not take a chance on these nice boys.

There have over 40 school shootings since 1995. All were known as nice kids.

Says who? Harris and Klebold had several run ins with the law not to mention psychilogical counselling. Jeff Weise was a self proclaimed Nazi. Do you want me to go on?

In all those other arrests police said what evidence led to the arrest. In Gulf Shores the authorities were eerily quiet until they got a “confession” out of the 15-year-old.

i don’t even know these kids. but from what i have read, i see absoloutely nothing wrong with what joe and the unnamed minor has done. it was just a stupid kid over-hearing, which seemed to be something that they had heard wrong. come on now kids, lets stop blowing this all out of proportion and get the hell over wanting to ‘beat dey asses’ and not wanting them to be near the school or near you. bullshit i tell you.:mrgreen:

if a kid wants to have something in his locker let him, if a kid wants to make horro films let him. i think that they should not have punished him or the other kid. they should let them go. the only ones who can truley do a school shooting is eric harris and dylan klebold.u DONT know them so DONT JUDGE THEM. THE ONLY ONES WHO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS IS THEM SO DONT GO AND ACT LIKE U KNOW SOMETHING THAT U CLEARLY DONT. the only thing that u know is what the press and the news tell u. soo BACK OFF!!!!!!!!!

Huh? :Q:

WAT DO U MEAN BY HUH U HEARD ME!

Hey ‘Dream’ Chill out and read ALL the blogs…there is overwhelming support for the boys here…

i kno but still becuz the same thing with these boyies kinda happened to me and i dont want it to happen to anyone else. u.u;:cry:

omg. All of you who are saying thoes things are so stupid. If you have ever said ” ill kill you” jokingly you could be accused of the same thing Joe was. He didnt do anything wrong, and he wouldn’t of. Thats just the mentality of a small town they reject anything diffrent or out of the normal. Lord forbid someone be diffrent. So what if he had “nazi symbols”? thats long gone and over with racisim is just another part of society. get over it.Please just stop dragging Joe’s name thru the mud, he dosen’t deserve this. No innocent person does. FREE JOE!

free joe free joe free joe free joe free joe free joe!!!!!
i feel for joe. he is an awsome person and has not done anything wrong i know him better than that. we were close and he is a kind sweet person. he wouldnt hurt anyone or anything. so they should let joe go!!!!!!!

FREE JOE!!!!!!!

Yes yes. Free Joe. Bleh…this is purely heartbreaking to see this happen to my bestfriend…gr. Hopefuly, the truth WILL come out sometime this month. I can only hope.

Free Joe.

yes we can only hope for the best. i miss him soooo much. i cry for them every night becuz no one should have to go through this.

Yes yes. Indeed. I miss him too. I try and not to cry. But, you really can’t help it. But be strong. We have to be strong for him. We can only hope for the best.

Hopefully, this whole thing will blow over soon. And quick. It’s not right to keep an innocent teen away for something he never planed on or even thought about doing. But like I said. We can only hope for the best. Be strong.

Well, i guess you can say Every one has there own problems but you have to wonder what was going on through hes head. but also why free joe and not another person yes you may think hes innocent but there are other people out there who really are innocent all im seeing is free joe but there must be something going on in hes head if hes threating i have a friend who’ve done the same thing he did and you dont see people saying free him i admit my friend has done a very bad thing but he learned hes lesson cause he admited it

But Joe NEVER threatend ANYONE. Why is it so hard for people to get that through your heads?? Joe found out about the rumors THE, keyword THE, day he was pulled out of school. Joe IS innocent. Joe has done NOTHING wrong. He has no problems. Nor any of the Joe supporters. I called him THE day these stupid rumors came out. March 16. He told me what had happend. And before I called him, I called the minor who was a good friend of mine. He told me what had happend. So it’s not like I heard this from a kid. I heard what happend from Joe. And he’s the most truthful, carring, mellow, laid back guy I have ever met. Ask any of his friends. They will tell you the same. So NOTHING is wrong with him. NO threats. AND FREE JOE!

To Blahdee
Well for one thing, Joe doesn’t have anything to admit. He never threatened a soul. He was only accused of it. For another thing, these are Joes friends who are posting Free Joe stuff. If your friend is in trouble and you believe he is innocent, post some information on him to show him some support. What is it that you think Joe has been accused of? Have you read the whole story??
You say you admit that your friend has done a very bad thing, but I have 100% faith in Joe Meredith. He was a victim in this situation, and I can promise my life on that one.

And I agree with Anomynous. I too promise my life on that as well. Free Joe.

OMFG!!! THE DA IS A DUMBASS!! SO IS BILLY BERRY! I SERIOUSLY THINK THAT THESE FUCKIN IDIOTS ARE JUST OUT TO GET JOE BECAUSE HE IS DIFFERENT…BECAUSE HE ISNT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE THEY THINK HE’S A FUCKING KILLER!! NO…I DONT BELIEVE HE IS! SO FUCKIN WHAT IF HE DOES MAKE MOVIES AND DRAW!? THIS CASE IS COMPLETELY CIRCUMSTACE! THERE IS NO REAL EVIDENCE DAMMIT!!

FREE JOE!!!

ok first of all i think joe and rey are the nicest and coolest people ever.. and to let all yall know.. the only reason they got into trouble because one little bitch had to go run her mouth off to a teacher and they blew the situation way out of proportion… i dated bryan and from personal experience… he would never harm a fly… and joe is my best friend and he would never do anythin to harm another person!!! so none of yall can say anythin about them witout personally talking to them… so stop sayin shit you have no fuckin clue about.. BECAUSE THEY ARE INNOCENT.. i dont give a fuck what yall think about them.. to be honest the only reason they did that is because assholes at my school always fucked wit them because they decided to be different from everbody else.. because we dont want to be stuck up, or rich or walk around wit our finger up our asses thinking the world revolved you… well guess what aint nobody perfect and you cant hate them for wantin to be different… i love both of them dearly… and you motherfuckers cant say shit… so jus shut yo mouth if you dont know what ur talkin about…. i go to school wit both of them.. well did…and they are sweet and very creative.. so dont hate them 4 that!!! they deserve to be free jus like the rest of us!!! and joe is the best movie writer and director…. and bryan is the best magician.. so… there ya go…

In response I would like to say that I honestly don’t believe that Joe had a problem with the people at GSHS. I can’t speak for the other guy in question, but I know for a fact that Joe loved GSHS. As far as the kids at Gulf Shores liking him, I don’t know, but I know he had no complaints. If anyone had a problem with him, he didn’t let it bother him. He has been taught to be an individual, but a good person, and if someone judges him, he should let it roll off his shoulder and move on. Judgemental people are not worth crying over. The local newspaper even printed a statement about him not getting along with the students at Gulf Shores. Well, that’s bullshit. He had plenty of friends there and I never heard him complain about anyone while attending school there. I have to agree with Trench! It’s just a common excuse people use for reasons why these situations occur. People have to have some lame excuse for everything these days.
