Men Found Guilty of Monroe County Murder:

Jury convicts pair of 1st degree murder in deadly stabbing:

Two found guilty of murder in Monroe County:

21-year-old Michael Goucher of Stroudsburg, PA served in the military, volunteered in his community, and strived to become a police officer. In 2009 his life was cut short by a pair of worthless Juggalos.

This week 21-year-old Shawn Freemore, aka Skippy Critter, and 19-year-old Ian Seagraves, aka ThrOwT Stabba, were convicted in Goucher’s murder.

The pair had stabbed Goucher over 50 times with a knife and the standard Juggalo weapon of choice, a meat cleaver. Goucher was gay and Freemore lured him to his death by posing as someone romantically attracted to Goucher. Freemore tried to claim self-defense but since when do you need a buddy to help you stab someone over 50 times? Unless the guy was Jason Voorhees that defense is not going to fly. The pair even wrote a rap song about the murder.

Seagraves was 17 at the time of the murder and was charged as an adult.

Both are looking at mandatory life sentences. No word on a sentencing date yet.

Do Juggalos actually contribute anything to society except helping to keep prisons filled and putting money into the pockets of their local weed dealers and ICP?

Life is a roller coaster. We all have our ups and downs. Artists tend to display this in their work. I wish this post would have shown a more direct link to the poorly written “poem.” Personally, I know what it is like to be considered a monster simply because feelings are expressed in writing or drawing rather than spoken word. In high school, I was the subject of many conversations between concerned teachers and was even questioned as if I had already commited some heinous act. I never killed anyone. I just did not understand, then, how to communicate my emotions more appropriately.

That said, I must assure you, I am not defending either of the two murderers. I feel they have gotten what they deserve (life without parole). I say, “let them suffer!” I only wish that law enforcement, as well as common folk, would not use an artists work against them. Nor should the public be concerned with these crooks’ music choices. I enjoy a wide span of music and I am proud to call myself a Juggalo. I find it quite unfortunate that some choose to wear the merchandise and hug like “family,” only to turn around and act like a gang with their friends. It has come to the point where I have police shooting me dirty looks because these young kids are wearing the same clothes I am and rushing out to commit crimes!

I digress.. This story has brought forth such anger toward the criminals, it nearly overpowered the sadness I feel for the victim and his family. My heart goes out to them. The death of a loved one is the hardest thing a person will endure in their lifetime. I know it sounds absurd, but I truly understand your pain and wish you the best.
