Excerpts from the The Journal News (www.thejournalnews.com):
A website that glorifies the band Slayer is taking credit for inspiring unknown vandals to spray paint pentagrams and upside-down crosses at the entrance to St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers, New York last week.
The site was set up last month to promote a National Day Of Slayer on June 6th.
To participate, according to the site, one had only to play Slayer "at full blast." But the site also included several ways to "take participation to a problematic level," including: "Spray paint Slayer logos on churches, synagogues, or cemeteries."
The vandalism at the seminary, which was done in the early hours of June 7th, included the words "Reign In Blood," the name of Slayer's most popular record.
The website (www.nationaldayofslayer.org) now brags that Day Of Slayer was a huge success. As proof, it offers a copy of a Journal News article about the vandalism and a link to a CBS TV report about it.
The creator of the site, in a telephone interview yesterday, said his rules for Day Of Slayer participation were somewhat tongue-in-cheek, while acknowledging that there was an "activist" side to heavy metal culture.
"We don't have a voice to say that maybe we want America to be an agnostic state," said JT, who said he is 31, lives in Wyoming and does contract work in the information technology industry. "What other option do we have to express our distaste? It was not an outright recommendation, but an acknowledgment of what kids do."
JT would not provide his real name, but contacted The Journal News after the newspaper sent an e-mail to his website. He said he has no idea who committed the vandalism and that he has not been contacted by law-enforcement authorities.
Yonkers police Capt. Edward Geiss didn't know much about the website yesterday.
"Basically, the police department is looking into all angles," he said. "Whether this group is associated with any activity, we don't know."
The vandalism at the seminary seemed to be connected in some way to the date June 6th, 2006. The poorly reviewed remake of The Omen opened that day, linking the date to the number 666, the mark of the devil in the New Testament's Book of Revelation.
JT's website now says that because the first Day Of Slayer was so successful, it will be revived next June 6th.
JT said the goal of National Day Of Slayer was to spread the word that heavy metal fans have a serious, organized culture of their own. And it's not just in America. His website has been translated into several languages, including Polish, Serbian and Icelandic.

Well fizzdick we know the 2 reasons you'll never be in jail for assault. 1. You're not man enough to fight another dude and 2. even a chick could kick your 40lb. dumbass." <--- the masked marauder strikes again! LOL!!!
Leather_Lung - 6/20/2006 4:31:41 PM hey man... i don't know where the fuck you're even coming from... i was only 17 at the time; the dude tried to cut me with a tequila bottle that he broke on the same stairwell that I used to ram his head into after breaking his wrist by twisting it too hard, to make him drop the fucken bottle before he could cut me with it... it was over a chick... it was only supposed to be 10 weeks, but i kept getting into fights in jail and getting more time added to my sentence... ultimately, i did 11 and 1/2 months, and the only lesson i learned is if you're a man, you'll get treated like one... and if you're a bitch... well, i wouldn't know personally, but the general consensus seems to be that you will get treated like one... unfortunately due to the violent nature of the crime and the fact that i didn't stop kicking this dude's ass after i had disarmed and disabled him was what sent me to jail... and it wasn't in the pen, either... i did a bullet with a L.A. County lid... for those of you that aren't familiar with this type of slang, i did my year without going to state prison, but for anybody that's been to L.A. County jail, you know that shit ain't no picnic...
fizzgig - 6/20/2006 4:02:48 PM Hey, Johnny, I don't know what world you live in, but in mine, not going to jail for assault ain't a bad thing.
fizzgig - 6/20/2006 3:08:45 PM The pen is mightier than the sword, Johnny. Now four days ago, you said I weigh 70 pounds. Now I'm down to 40. Must've been doing some serious finger-down-the-throat purging, huh? Time for a cheeseburger!
analgravy2 - 6/20/2006 3:05:35 PM I never did understand why faggots such as myself don't just rob banks and kill people. The punishment is more like heaven.
0rion442 - 6/20/2006 2:45:49 PM oh c'mon, bitches like fizz are NEEDED in the joint!
John_Black - 6/20/2006 1:50:12 PM Well fizzdick we know the 2 reasons you'll never be in jail for assault. 1. You're not man enough to fight another dude and 2. even a chick could kick your 40lb. dumbass.
fizzgig - 6/20/2006 12:29:58 PM I ain't goin' near that one, but I will say that his doing time for assault didn't strike me as any big surprise.
analgravy2 - 6/20/2006 12:12:05 PM You're probably right. Bubba's dick is probably missing the good old days.
fizzgig - 6/20/2006 11:07:54 AM You mean Lung? Maybe he does, but he can't afford to go back inside for another year.
