Long ago I was active in the Fidonet (ask your parents, kiddies) FLAME echo. We thought we were bad d00dz, but about the worst thing that we ever did was send an unordered pizza to some twit in Georgia. I’d say that this guy has definitely got us beat.
This thread (warning: Profane language) is from the admin of a message board called pirate969.org:
BRUCE YOU NEED TO STOP THIS MAN. The only reason I’m keeping this thread open is for some closure for the families and so that hopefully we can talk some sense into you. YOU KILLED TWO PEOPLE BECAUSE OF A STUPID INTERNET ARGUMENT.
Bruce, who appears unremorseful at best, is continuing to put up taunting, threatening posts:
I can’t tell you where I am, but I can tell you I love free wireless internet. I know some of you like those fools, but they were trying to front and I can’t let that lie. If anyone sees my brother, let him know that band practice is cancelled.
It goes on like that. I wasn’t sure what to make of it—you meet no shortage of braggarts and blowhards in flame wars, and it’s possible that a couple in the group were murdered and he was taking false credit for it. Or that he was claiming to have killed some people who hadn’t posted for longer than usual.
But no; according to this BBC story, it’s for real, and he’s the guy sought by police:
The online argument started in a thread (link) discussing a local band promoter. Bruce Pastuer, now wanted on two counts of homicide and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, was one of the participants in the discussion.Apparently two other board members and Pastuer exchanged insults, at which point Pastuer drove to the home of the two victims at approximately 3:00PM, and shot them both with a borrowed 12 gauge shotgun. The police have not recovered the weapon, and the names of the two victims have not been released pending notification of their relatives.
In the course of the shooting, two neighbors came to investigate, and Pastuer reportedly fired at them as well. His location is unknown, and anyone with information is requested to contact the San Diego Police Department (link).
If the cops can triangulate WiFi signals, his fugitive days might be over soon; if not, I’ll see if I can nail him with a deep-dish double-cheese with anchovies.
