Jesse Campbell really, really, really, loves surfing the Internet.
The Internet can be very addicting and provides a numerous ways to waste away hours and hours in what feels like minutes, but if you don’t have a computer of your own, my advice is to find another addiction, because the Internet addiction will become too much for you to handle, it’ll turn you into a monster.
Internet addicts are having a little chuckle right now, the rest of you are in denial. The first step is admitting you have a problem.
Anyway, Jesse Campbell borrowed the computer to feed his addiction from his mother, Cindy Jo Coleman, who made it a point that her son return the computer by 8AM on March 13, 2008. She even threw in the threat that she would call the police if the computer wasn’t returned.
For those of us that have mothers that make these threats… we all know what comes of most of them… nothing. This nagging for the computer back could become a problem though, especially… say… if you have a scheduled raid sometime in the afternoon on March 13th, you wouldn’t want to be bothered with this returning business.
Moms can be so annoying sometimes.
Sometime later that evening Jesse Campbell was so pissed off at his mom that he told his Internet buddies about how much he wanted to kill her over this whole situation. After all, Jesse Campbell thought, if he gave the computer back, he wouldn’t be able to talk to his buddies on instant messenger either.
A little after that, Jesse Campbell decided to go over to his mom’s house, just like she asked him to. Yes… sometime before 5AM he decided to stop by, not with the computer, but with another gift for her.
Sometimes those computer games are just enough to come between someone and their family and friends… Believe me, I’ve left over a handful of men that have tried to come between me and my WOW. Haha… computer games = crack.
Well… Jesse Campbell ended up beating his mom over and over again with a plastic weight. That outta teach her to come between him and his Internet. Well maybe he took it a bit too far… he then cut her throat with a kitchen knife. Probably wasn’t the most pleasant way to go, if you’ve ever seen it in the movies… gross.
After the beat down, Jesse Campbell returned home and showered. When his girlfriend asked him about the blood on his clothes (which she disposed of in a nearby dumpster), Jesse Campbell explained to her how he killed his mom over the computer because she just made him so mad. He also let her know that he read his mom the Bible as she was passing, which makes the whole thing OK. Thou shall not come between Jesse Campbell and his Internet.
Campbell has been charged with criminal homicide and remains in Clearfield County Jail.

When I read this kind of crap, sometimes I just think- WTF? DO they even think?
Because, if I wanted to keep surfing around on my mom’s computer, and she didn’t want me to, killing her might be a bad idea. Since that usually entails jail and no more surfy-surfing on the computer. Duh.
Who’s gonna do his dirty laundry now?

holy fucking shit on toast man, that’s amongst the most horrible things i’ve ever read on here. if *anyone* dares to hurt my mum, they will die a slow and painfull death. i can’t imagine how someone could kill their own mother… i’m near speechless here.

Not that murder is ever justifiable, particularly murder of your own mother, but I’m really really really hoping there was something else going on her besides just the computer.
I hope they don’t give him internet access in prison.

I’m sorry but I am not able to keep quiet about everything the heartless media and you ignorant insensitive bloggers are posting about this tragedy. I say ignorant because you know nothing, you know nothing about this family at all!
No woman or man deserves to have what happened to Cindy Coleman done to them. It was gruesome and repulsing that one’s own son could take the very life of the woman that gave them theirs… but what else is disgusting is that you people have no restraint? You’re feeding off of the media’s coverage, of which is half lies, putting your two cents in, and then posting it all over the Internet for a family who has not just lost a mother, a grandmother, an aunt, a sister, or a daughter…. but who has also lost a brother, an uncle, and a grandson to a system who has failed THEM/HIM so many times before.

girls_not_grey - Miss the point much? Ohhh…so it’s the system’s fault. Riiiight.
Not to mention, what kind of GF gets rid of bloody clothes? Especially after your BF confesses to murdering his mom?? Does anyone have any moral standards anymore?
He read the bible to her, so that made it A-OK?? Wow, just wow.

Fred reply on March 20th, 2008:
The system failed them how?
I am tired of people saying such without stating facts… please elaborate!
He did not get a good education?
Um.. an education is something one has to get, a teacher can teach, but one must make the effort to learn.
He did not have enough money for a computer of his own?
Umm.. did he have a job?
I will agree that taxes are way too high, so that yes he may not have been able to afford a computer because the system is spending too much money on welfare queens and hosing & feeding POS featured elsewhere on this site.
But if he needed a new computer - well - then he failed. My mother has a 3rd hand Frankenstiened system - she’s happy. I bought one of my friends a used system for $100 - she’s happy.
Some time, some where a “system” has failed us ALL. I can cry about my college failing to get the honors program off the ground and how that made my college experience less than what is should have been. Because of the system’s failure I lost an oportunity to do better, yes.
My point - if we all just waited in someone else to take care of our every need, want or promise made to us, then we’d all be nothings!
American capitalism is one of the first such systems with compassion, a compassion that has become an expectation as exemplfied by families with multiple generations of welfare dependence and such cry babies as YOU!
When I was in high school, there was a debate on wether to build a new building or not. On my own I wrote a letter to the newspaper in favir of such. One year later our building was in need of some low cost improvements to the computer room, but I was told that such was not going to happen - the city was not going to spend anymore money on our building, despitethe fact that the building was going to be in use for another 3 years! I threatened to write anoter letter to the editor about how we were going to be short-changed. Needless to say a few weeks later some electricians showed up at 3:30….
Point - once in a while “the system” needs a kick in the ass
While I can not judge the female loss in your family, I can fairly well say that the male member is not much of a loss. Anyone who’d kill over such is either very selfish or has a major problem Which ever is the case, he does not sound like much of a brother, uncle or grandson. I am not saying he wasn’t, but if you still think him to be, then you are holding on to memories of a once great person, such will only lead to further disappointment.
So - open your eyes and learn to take care of yourself and loved ones!

admin reply on March 20th, 2008:
Or even a better idea - how about getting a job, saving up the 300 or so that it takes to get a computer, and buying it?
Or, I could put together a very nice one for him for about 1500. Very nice.

Darkest Maiden reply on July 8th, 2008:
He’s one of these hermits if he’s addicted to the net - guaranteed. He’d never dare set a foot into a shop to steal, but since his mum takes all his shit all the time, she’s the only one he can take out his social problems on.

how’d i do?
any way, I know quite a few WOW addicts but none that would say, kill their parents over it…and i agree with chelsey….steal…don’t keel….lol
[Reply]
The first sign of an azzhole and/ or their enabler is when they cry that the system has failed them or those responsible for a terrible deed. When will people start taking responsibility for their own actions?
[Reply]
Did the system force him to wear that shitty looking mullet? I don’t think so!
[Reply]
What “system” failed him? His mom’s computer system? His playstation 2 for not playing WoW?
WoW is bullshit, Raids are bullshit, and killing your parents over either makes you a fucking retard. I hope this kid gets raped into a coma.
[Reply]
I went to school with him, and he did have problems. They system didn’t fail him, he was in and out of jail and could NOT be rehabilitated. Read up on it some. How sad what he did to his own mother.
[Reply]
What a terrible thing to do to his own mother, and over something as inconsequential as a computer. (I guess he wasn’t aware that he could buy one of his very own for as little as a few hundred dollars?) The thought of a child doing anything bad to their mother enrages me.
I’m pregnant with my first child and through the sickness, nausea, gestational diabetes and constant agony I find myself in, I call up my mother every day to thank her for putting up with the same when she was pregnant with me. (She tells me the worst is yet to come. Fun, fun.) My point in this is that carrying, giving birth to and raising a child is not the easiest task in the world. That anyone would harm or kill the woman who GLADLY went through so much agony to provide them with life and then cared for them throughout their childhood is truly despicable. Matricide is one of the worst crimes ever.

Gotta wonder though - look at what his mama named him. Jesse James? That sounds like something a midwest crank-addict would name a kid. How about Babyface Nelson Campbell, or Al Capone Campbell? Or Adolph Hitler Campbell?
Sheesh - and people wonder why the kids end up criminals.

Oh yeah, and WOW rocks. So does EQ2. And Conan would be ok except the chicks have bare boobs, which attracts all the 13 year old punks. Which means they are not playing WOW or EQ2, which makes them rock even more LOL.

“A jury deliberated for two hours last night before convicting Jesse James Campbell of murder in the first and third degrees. The 22-year-old Houtzdale man was also found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person. As the verdict was handed down, Mr. Campbell shook his head in disbelief. The penalty phase will take place today and a jury will decide if Mr. Campbell will be sentenced to death or life in prison.”
2 whole hours? Well ain’t that a kick in the ass Jesse?
[Reply]
Cindy was a year behind me in high school. I never really knew her..she seemed nice enough.
I haven’t lived in PA since 1976…just found out about this tonight with a Houtzdale google to see what was up back home. How very sad…hard to imagine that a child you gave birth to would take your life away from you with his own hands.
I’ve read elsewhere where Cindy was an alcoholic, her husband left her (I’m sure if I knew his first name, I’d know who he was) and Jesse when he was two, and that Jesse had a very unstable life…was raised mostly by his half sister, and statements were made that he was bipolar, etc. Equally as sad, if true.
Why do folks screw up their lives and create a domino effect that trickles down to the children? Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness (again, if what I’ve read is true).
My heart does grieve for Cindy…I did look her up in my Yearbook to refresh my “visual” memory. I also grieve for her son, for every choice one makes creates consequences…

Update: On Wednesday, October 16th, 2008, a Mercer County PA jury convicted Jesse James Campbell of First Degree Murder in the killing of his mother, Cindy Jo Coleman, after deliberating about two hours. On Oct 17th the jury spared the 21 year old the death penalty, finding the prosecution proved no aggravating circumstances. Jurors learned more about Mr. Campbell’s upbringing, prior record and mood disorders from doctors and family members. From the ages of 14 and 17 he spent a total of 2 ½ years in juvenile detention facilities, plus a turn in drug rehab and another in the local psych unit. His Grandmother testifies about his difficult upbringing. Tearfully she recalled one Christmas Eve when Jesse was little. ”She had nothing wrapped up and he’s begging her not to leave with her boyfriend,” McCoy said through tears. ”He was holding onto her so she couldn’t leave, and she was going to the bar with her boyfriend.” But she also admitted ”I’ll tell you, he and his mom didn’t get along real good. Both wanted to be the boss.” She also begged for his life. ”I still want a part of Cindy to hold onto.” She said, adding, ”That (the death penalty) would be the end of my husband.” There’s nothing like a grandmother’s love, is there?
Judging by what was said here, you’d think Jesse was a 17 year old kid, wouldn’t you? In reality, though, we all know he was 28. When do you think he’ll stop blaming mommy and daddy for his behavior and start acting like a man? I don’t mean to be harsh, well yeah, I guess I do, but I always have a hard time with the “shitty childhood” defense. If I learned anything in the 49 plus years I’ve been on planet Earth, it that life is all about the choices we make. He had more than one opportunity to get help, but he chose to become a punk criminal. He could have returned his Mother’s computer, but he chose to murder her instead. OK, so Deborah Coleman is never going to be mom of the year, but he beat her viciously, slashed her throat with a rusty steak knife, then sat and watched as she choked to death on her own blood, and no one deserves that. Ever. During the trial, he testified on his own behalf and tried to put the entire blame on his ex-girlfriend. When the Jury announced its guilty verdict, tough guy here shook his head in disbelief, as if they’d just convicted an innocent man. This all sounds to me more like a hardened criminal and less like the poor, poor Jesse the defense wished everyone to believe. I supposed I’m satisfied with the Life without Parole sentence he did receive, but I can’t get rid of this nagging feeling that the little bastard pulled one over on the jury.

TurtleMania reply on October 23rd, 2008:
Great update Max The Cat. Ya know, I had a very rough childhood too. But I have no rap sheet and I’ve never been convicted of anything. It is about the choices you make and how you play the hand dealt to you.
[Reply]
Max The Cat reply on October 24th, 2008:
Thanks Turtle. It’s high praise indeed, coming from you man.
I think just about everyone carries scars from their childhood. Some scars are deeper than others and some people have more than other people, but they all hurt. The hard-headed folks end up like Jesse, the majority, the ones with at least as much common sense as a poodle, end up OK, & the really intelligent people end up like you.
[Reply]
Im with ya one this one Max. A shitty childhood is terrible, but it should not be used as an excuse. I hear excuses all the time, ” oh but my mum beat me when i was a kid.” ” my dad was a junkie.” ” my uncle molested me, and made me want to molest other kids.”
WTF is with that anyway?
If you’ve had a shitty childhood, then DO SOMETHING about it! You dont have many choices as a child…but as an adult you have many! So choose to break the cycle of abuse. When you think about the average life span, the years we spend as children are few.
