Light-hearted Banter and Twilight Series Discussion
00:00:53
Speaker
Hello, hello, everyone. Hello. Welcome back. Jess, how are you doing today? I'm doing good. I'm doing really good. I actually re-listened to the Patreon episode the other day, and I was laughing So hard. We're kind of funny.
00:01:08
Speaker
just Just a little bit. Not always, but we have our good days. That was really nice. And then obviously it's just a beautiful day in Washington today. The sun's actually out and shining. So I feel like we've got a little bit of a reprieve from the doom and gloom. Yeah, it is chilly though. It is like kind of gross, but I'm happy for the sunshine. I'll take it.
00:01:29
Speaker
Yes. oh Oh, glitter. Like the Colons. Oh my gosh. Twilight. I have not thought about Twilight in ages. I think too much about Twilight. I think.
00:01:40
Speaker
Do you, how old were you when it came out? mm I don't know how old I was when it came out, but I definitely was obsessed with it when I was like 12. Yes.
00:01:51
Speaker
Mm hmm. so I would feel like I was the same age, but maybe i I definitely was not the same age. I feel like it's the that's just the the age where people get introduced to that.
00:02:02
Speaker
Yeah. It's kind of like that young adult. i feel like it's that sweet spot. Yeah. I remember like my friend group would pass it around and like everyone was reading all the books at different times and the movies came out and yeah, it was a whole thing.
00:02:15
Speaker
ah Yeah. So I vividly remember thinking how romantic it was that Colin was just or Edward was so obsessed with Bella. But I always had like an affinity for Jacob. I just didn't understand why she didn't want to go for Jacob. But ah rereading it now, reading it back now, just because someone else I know is starting to read it. And i was like, i just want want to check this out again and see what it was all about. Man, he was a creep.
00:02:42
Speaker
They were all creeps like that. That's just, it's a very strange story reading back as an adult. Yeah, i have concerns um and I feel like I need to put a PSA out for any young woman reading this. It is not normal for someone to stalk you all the time and watch you while you're sleep sleeping. That is incorrect. Run away. Call the police.
00:03:05
Speaker
Call your dad. Who is the police? Just do anything.
00:03:11
Speaker
Oh my gosh. I remember like the part where like Edward just kind of leaves out of the blue too and she is so heartbroken and me at like 12 years old I was like oh my god I can't I can't imagine that's so like i she has is totally valid to feel that just distraught and now I'm a little older and like ah I don't know if I would feel that distraught if like anyone were to leave me that like just like that.
00:03:36
Speaker
I mean, I know we're volatile when we're teenagers, but she legit was trying to commit suicide. Like, I don't i don't think that part really sunk in. I thought she was just doing dangerous things to try to see him again. But no, she was, like, ah essentially attempting to kill herself. Yeah. So that she could get a glimpse of her boyfriend again, which is concerning. Very concerning.
00:03:56
Speaker
And, like, how weird is it that an actual adult was writing all this stuff? So there's actually... Do you remember... i don't know if you ever... what is her what is the name superstar do you remember superstar where she like would put her hands in her armpits and then she would be like and like smell them when she was nervous no if you haven't seen it's Sarah Michelle no no no that was Buffy there's a movie that's called like superstar I believe it's called and there's a hilarious comedian who plays this girl in a Catholic convent and when she gets nervous she sticks her hands in her armpits and then she smells them really fast like that and it's fucking hilarious it's a great you got to watch the movie anyways the the actress who plays that lady did a book about why we love twilight so much and she did a deep dive on stephanie's meyer stephanie meyer's like essentially apparently she made a book about all the vampires and their backstory it's more of like a bibliography on her characters which is really weird and if you read it
00:05:01
Speaker
it's there's some problematic, just lots of problems. who ah Like Jasper, um essentially being a cold, hard racist.
00:05:14
Speaker
Like he was civil war soldier, but fighting for, not for the Yankees, but like very, very much fighting for the other side. all right And you know, that's pretty much his whole storyline is how he's like a proud soldier from back in the day who was representing the oppression of slavery.
00:05:33
Speaker
Jesus.
Case Study: The Capitol Hill Massacre
00:05:34
Speaker
You should look into it. If you, if you want to be grossed out about your childhood self loving these characters. I vividly remember my mom trying to read Twilight, like around the time that I was reading it too. And she was just like, I can't do this. This is the most ridiculous thing i've ever read in my life. Like she she maybe got like two chapters She's like, I'm done. I no longer have that magic anymore. i'm so sorry.
00:05:58
Speaker
I'm like, that's weird, mom. What do you mean? What do you mean? It's so great, though. Oh, man. I did really resonate with going out in the sun and glittering, because I'm so pale. I glow in the dark. So I felt like someone finally saw me.
00:06:15
Speaker
For who I
00:06:18
Speaker
Oh my god.
00:06:22
Speaker
o
00:06:26
Speaker
Well, conversation for today, our episode for today, actually kind of ties in nicely with like the the Twilight segue, because this story takes place in the early 2000s. Okay. Where the times were different. like I think that, at least for me, the early I was still pretty young in the early 2000s, so I don't really have too many memories of it. Okay.
00:06:46
Speaker
the vi The kind of the vibe and the pieces that I do remember, it seems very, very different from where we are today. But just similar enough that the story kind of resonated with me.
00:06:57
Speaker
Not on unfortunately, not in great ways. Yes, I can confirm the early 2000s because I vividly remember it. Nothing like it is today at all. So I'm excited to go back to my future or for my my future. Yeah.
00:07:12
Speaker
were you Were you in Washington in the early 2000s? I was. Yeah. so i was And yes, i Pierce County was where i graduated. Gotcha. So you really remember this story then that I'm going to talk about.
00:07:24
Speaker
Because it was pretty big news at the time. um okay the The Capitol Hill Massacre from 2006. Do you remember this? I do not. Okay.
00:07:34
Speaker
So... At we're going to kind of jump in to the story and then I'll give everyone a little bit of background because there's ah quite a bit of background to go over. So, OK, I'm so excited. OK, OK.
00:07:46
Speaker
At around 7 a.m. on March 26th, 2006, it was a Saturday. A gunman named Kyle Huff opened fire on a house in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle.
00:07:57
Speaker
He killed six people and he injured two more. The house was occupied by a bunch of young ravers who had just come home, come back from a nearby rave at the Capitol Hill Art Center.
00:08:09
Speaker
How are you to kill ravers from an art center? I feel like that should be illegal. I mean, it is illegal. Continue on. So, yes. this At the time, this was the second biggest massacre in the state of Washington. like this was This was a really big deal. i So, like I talked about before on this podcast, I was a weird kid. I liked to read the paper when I was in my um ah elementary school. So, I remember reading about this, like, one morning before school.
00:08:36
Speaker
Because it was huge. Yeah, so... A little bit of background on the rave scene in the early 2000s. From what I'm understanding, it's very different than what it is now.
00:08:47
Speaker
From what I know about raves today, they're usually pretty big. Like a lot of them are held at like the Tacoma Dome, the Gorge. Yeah. You know, big event centers. And tons of people go. It's pretty widespread. Like a lot of people from different backgrounds will go. And like a lot of people that I know go There's some drug use, some people that don't use drugs when they're there but it's kind of a wide range of people and things to do.
00:09:13
Speaker
um not Back in the early 2000s, that was when we kind of saw started to see a split in rave culture. So before that, rave culture was very underground. It was a lot of people that maybe didn't have friends in school or were kind of considered outcasts sometimes. They joined raves as a way to kind of meet meet like-minded people, other people that marie may be kind of pushed away from kind of like, don't want to say normal, but you know what I'm going to say like kind of standard friend groups. um And they found this culture of acceptance at raves.
00:09:44
Speaker
I remember growing up um when I first like learned about raves, it was all the kids in school that almost exclusively shopped at Hot Topic and had like crazy hair or lots of piercings, chains on their pants, like wore the platform shoes. Those were the people that that I usually associated with raves. That was probably a wrong assumption. Again, I was in high school, so, you know, well, not necessarily high school, but middle school to high school so i would agree with what with what you're saying there yeah yeah so it was we're kind of pushed away from kind of your more popular normal groups um and these raves were very underground usually so they were in either private residences out in like kind of fields like nature um or there were some raves that were called like break-ins where like people they break into like empty warehouses um and have a rave there
00:10:35
Speaker
They were usually pretty local. You didn't have people from really outside like your city, your county coming to them. You had local DJs at them. And it was pretty, it was pretty nuclear. However, kind of in the, too in like the earlier 2000s, kind of before 2006, we started to see a shift in raves where basically people and corporations saw that they could monetize these raves.
00:11:00
Speaker
So that's when we started seeing the bigger ones come out to play. like at larger event centers like near Safeco Field. It was funny. I was reading i was reading an article about like rave culture and it mentioned Safeco Field as one in particular. And in my mind, I was like, oh yeah, I know what that is Not, I completely forgot that that's not even the name of it anymore.
00:11:21
Speaker
It will always those be Safeco Field in my heart. ah That was like the Kingdome. you remember Kingdome? I don't. and I don't remember the Kingdome.
00:11:32
Speaker
Never mind. Like i know stories of it, but yeah. ah Yeah. Anyways, that was nonsensical. Please continue on. um So yeah. So we saw started the, basically the shift in rave culture where it was held at these larger, larger venues. You had DJs from all parts of the country coming, coming to play. You had a lot more people that were kind of experiencing rave culture for the first time start coming to these raves.
00:11:57
Speaker
And that is where kind of the rise of, not as safe drug use started to happen at raves. And i think that is where a lot of the reputation for raves being just drug and alcohol fueled vendors came into play because historically, like I'm not going lie and say there's, there weren't ever drugs at raves. Right.
00:12:15
Speaker
But you had smaller raves where people really knew each other. They were more friendly. You could experiment a little bit more and you weren't like trying a ton of ecstasy for the first time and just like getting completely fucked up, you know?
00:12:26
Speaker
Yeah. Um, So one of the actual quote quotes that I saw in this in my research was the rise of the more monetized rave started having, they said, a lot of rich kids from the east side come and just come to the raves to to do drugs.
00:12:43
Speaker
Wasn't about the music as much anymore. Yeah. I think that makes sense with like pretty much all party cultures, right? When you have like ah a smaller group of people that are very much intertwined and know each other a lot, you know, or like have a house party when you're a teenager and you invite your your friends, it's a lot more chill and low key and people can kind of let their hair down. But once that work gets out and then 150 people end up your at your house, you've like lost control and you no longer have that sense of security and people there are not necessarily there for – to get to know each other as a get together and have fun. It's more of like, how fucked up can we get and what can we destroy in the process?
00:13:20
Speaker
Absolutely. Absolutely. And I think that, like said, that's where the culture of these like crazy raves came into play. So there was a lot of, um, kind of public opinion on raves during this time where people that went to raves were degenerates, right? They were these horrible kids. Their parents were horrible for letting them stay out all night. So a ton of stigma. And that is unfortunately what colored a lot of opinion about this massacre.
00:13:46
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, that sucks. Yeah. So using that to set the stage and now we'll get back into the details of what happened during this. So we had Huff. He was the the gunman during this massacre. He had recently moved to Seattle from Whitefish, Montana. with his twin brother.
00:14:05
Speaker
Kyle was a bit of a loner. It doesn't sound like he had much of a friend group. He was unemployed at the time of the shooting. It sounds like he had previously worked as a pizza delivery driver. And so didn't sound like he really had too much going for him.
00:14:19
Speaker
It is speculated um that he maybe tried to join the rave scene, but was rebuked in some regard. um Potentially, he went to like one of those larger raves, right, where people weren't as friendly and close-knit. And he was kind of shunned or something. again Again, this is all speculation. We don't really have too many facts on what what went down.
00:14:38
Speaker
That kind of started a really intense hat hatred for people that partook in raves in the city. um There, after the shooting, police did did find a letter that they think might have been from Kyle written to his his brother. um However, disclaimer, this letter was found in a trash bin um either in like again like basically a big dumpster outside of his apartment complex or a nearby apartment complex. And sounds like it was found when someone was digging through the trash. So I don't know if it's actually correct. um Police have said, you know, maybe it it actually is. The handwriting did look similar. um But I don't feel comfortable saying that 100% it was written by
00:15:20
Speaker
by kyle Gotcha. Okay. But in this letter, it said things like this hippie stuff has to end. And these people are screwing up the world. So hell it adds into that narrative of, he really didn't like people that were participating in raves. And in my mind, him coming from kind of a small town, Montana, coming to Seattle, that makes a bit of sense, right? This was probably a very big culture shock for him. And a lot of things that he just hadn't seen before.
00:15:48
Speaker
Um, yeah. I also want to add when Kyle was in Montana, he did have a criminal record. um in true Montana fashion. Well, maybe not how else I'll say that, but um he he shot up a a statue of a moose in Montana, which, interest yeah, in my mind, really only happens in Montana, ah but still horrible.
00:16:11
Speaker
But technically, um this was considered a felony, so he shouldn't have been able to own guns. He should not have been able to take the guns that he owns in Montana to Seattle. Yeah. Which then brings us to the start of our massacre.
00:16:25
Speaker
Because he so just to kind of recap, he has he seems to have this hatred for raves. He doesn't have a ton of friends, doesn't have a job. He has a criminal history. He owns guns.
00:16:37
Speaker
Looking back, this seems like we were just setting the plate for like this horrible event to take place. Right. Like. there could have been some points of intervention that just didn't really happen. And if you're really so mad that you're like writing down things, like I get mad about things sometimes, but I'm not writing it down. Like this has to end right now. I feel like that speaks to like a ah true hatred. Absolutely. as well Absolutely. yeah So on the night of March 25th slash the morning of the 26th, kind of spacey. The race started on Friday night sometime into Saturday morning. These events are taking place.
00:17:14
Speaker
um So Kyle attended the Better Off Undead rave at the Capitol Hill Art Center. okay Reports indicate that he kept to himself. He was kind of on the outskirts of the party and he didn't really talk to anyone. Reports were that this a couple of people approached him trying to have a conversation and he just didn't really seem interested in talking to anyone. He was just kind of there.
00:17:36
Speaker
Um, however, it is reported that one of the later victims went up to him and offered him a drink, um, was trying to engage with him. And it sounds like he said, Hey, you know, i have like a keg of beer back at my place for like an after party. If you want to stop by, feel free.
00:17:54
Speaker
So it sounds like he was almost fine, like, getting a little bit of that, like, community. Which yeah goes kind of goes back to my previous theory where maybe he just went to the wrong kind of rave. Like, we had the names that I'm seeing is, like, the the really big monetized ones are called Massives. And the smaller, more, like, community-based raves were called Undergrounds. Mm-hmm. Sounds like this this kind of this rave in Capitol sounds a little bit more like an underground. Maybe it was a little little bit different just because it was like held that at an event center. um There was like security and things like that. But the community really seemed like the key part of it. um So I'm wondering if if Kyle had found this place earlier, things would have gone a little bit differently, you know? And yeah maybe that's purely speculation on my heart, and myself looking for like the oh, like this could have had this could have been different, right? Maybe he wasn't
00:18:47
Speaker
such a horrible person. And that's also kind of a fault in myself. I've noticed I'm always trying to look for the brighter side of things. i don't think that I don't think that's a fault. I think that just means you're a good person. Thanks, Jess.
00:18:58
Speaker
it's Like I said, Kyle was invited back to this house party um by one of the later victims. He took him up on it and he went back there sometime before 7 a.m. It sounds like he was there for a couple of hours, was just kind of hanging out.
00:19:14
Speaker
And Then at right around 7 a.m., he kind of abruptly left, just walked right out. There was quite a few people there. Some people were sleeping. Some people were watching TV. Some people were getting ready for the day and all kinds of different different states.
00:19:30
Speaker
Kyle walked to his car, which was parked about a block away, and that's when he grabbed two guns. It sounds like he had more guns in his car that he didn't grab that police were able to find later, like afterwards.
00:19:42
Speaker
So he grabbed those guns and he headed back to the house on East Republican Street. On his way there, he stopped a couple of times to spray paint now on the sidewalk and on neighbor's steps.
00:19:55
Speaker
No one really knows it what that meant. That's gross. I don't like that. Right. But then he arrived back on the house and almost immediately started open firing on people that were sitting outside.
00:20:06
Speaker
Yeah. Sitting outside on the front porch. He killed a couple of people. People that were inside tried to barricade the door so he couldn't come in. He ended up shooting through the door and getting in killing more people in the living room.
00:20:19
Speaker
He tried to go to the upstairs where there were people locked in the bathroom, hiding in the bathtub. He shot into the bathroom, thankfully missed the people that were hiding in there. But then kind of he decided he was done and started to leave the house again.
00:20:33
Speaker
In that time, god people were trying to escape by whatever means necessary. Like there were people that were jumping out of windows, trying to run out of back doors, banging on neighbors' doors, asking them to call 911.
00:20:46
Speaker
In that time, so people were calling 911, neighbors were woken up to these gunshots. It took Officer Steve Leonard about a minute and a half from the time that he got the report to get to the house. He was already in the area. He arrived just as Kyle was leaving the front
Media Coverage and Public Reaction
00:21:03
Speaker
door.
00:21:03
Speaker
Leonard couldn't even finish saying, drop your weapon, before Kyle had turned the gun on himself and killed himself. All in all, that rampage lasted four minutes.
00:21:16
Speaker
It's disgusting. Right? it's It's horrible. And there was just a lot of chaos. No one knew who was injured, who was dead, who like what was going on.
00:21:28
Speaker
The police were all there. the ambulance was there. Parents were coming because some of these kids were underage. The youngest kid that was killed was 14 years old. Yeah. Holy cow. That is devastating. Right?
00:21:42
Speaker
Oh, my God. Yeah. So six people were killed. to a Two more were c incredibly injured and taken to Harborview. And all the while, news reporters are everywhere.
00:21:53
Speaker
And one of the one of the reporters ended up interviewing someone that was waiting out to the hospital. said that her boyfriend had been shot and was currently being operated on. And this girl said, you know, welcome to the Columbine and of Seattle.
00:22:08
Speaker
which I hadn't thought about until I was researching this, but like this was probably one of the biggest like kind of teenage shootings in the area. Like unfortunately school shootings are so much more common now, but that would have been, that's, that's huge.
00:22:22
Speaker
That's ah it's just yeah terrifying. That is terrifying. And ah just, I'm always baffled by someone who goes and kills so many people and then ends their life.
00:22:33
Speaker
Um, The so there's so many shitty things about this, but the next shitty piece of the story is that they could never they couldn't find a suicide letter. They found that one letter to his brother that they think is from Kyle, but there really was not ah there was not a ton of reasoning for why he did any of this.
00:22:51
Speaker
And it seems like he was planning it. I mean, he had the guns in his car. Yeah, he had a plan in place. The police speculate that he had just been kind of waiting for the right opportunity. Like he maybe he was going to a bunch of different raves. And said, you know what, I'm just going to wait until an opportunity presents itself. And that's what happened.
00:23:09
Speaker
So people just were nice to him that night. So repaid their kindness with a mass murder. Cool, cool. Yeah. Yeah, it's cool incredibly fucked up. I saw a couple of reports saying, you know they police wanted to look at his brain if they could to see if there was some kind of mental illness. But unfortunately, the manner in which he killed himself, that was not an option.
00:23:29
Speaker
So again, we're just, we don't know anything. We don't know anything behind the reasoning, what he was thinking, what his mental state was. Was he just incredibly, like he probably was incredibly unwell, but we can't confirm any of that.
00:23:40
Speaker
I'm guessing, did his family say anything? Are there any reports of that? Like, did they report on his mental health? No one had anything of note to say. but there Everyone was surprised, which, wow i mean, I'm also, would probably say that as well, right? Like, you're kind of complicit if he said, no, I know he was really, he was really ill. You want to like, like,
00:23:59
Speaker
especially your twin, like you want to kind of look out for them. Right. But that is crazy that, yeah. Cause i feel like twins are particularly close. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah.
00:24:11
Speaker
So the media attention on this case was huge as you can imagine, um, the massacre of this size and there were honestly mixed reactions. So like I said earlier, the rave culture was kind of misunderstood in the area at the time. So there was a lot of people, um, not just in Seattle, but throughout the country, basically saying that, you know, this is what happens when you have kids staying out late and uncontrolled parties like this and raves should be outlawed.
00:24:37
Speaker
Very similar to what you would expect, right? Like, just blame umt like victim blaming, essentially. Like, if you they hadn't been participating in this activity, they would still be around, which is fucked up on so many levels.
00:24:48
Speaker
However, the mayor of Seattle pretty quickly came out publicly and said, you know this was not an issue of parting. This was not young people staying out later than they were supposed to. This was a gun issue. This is, like, nothing more than this man should not have had a gun, but he did.
00:25:03
Speaker
And, like, this was his actions alone. Which... I appreciate that. Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's really, i applaud that because it doesn't, yeah, it doesn't matter your age. Cause they could, these could have been 30 year olds and the same thing could have happened and you're not staying out too late as a 30 year old. Yeah. And some of the victims were older. Like some of the victims were like in their late twenties, like um I think early thirties as well.
00:25:26
Speaker
But raves were just seen as such a young person, like a, like a young, young person thing. Right. And even like alternative lifestyle, I feel like people didn't, Like you have your kind of normal life and people didn't think that any kind of alternative lifestyle was appropriate.
00:25:43
Speaker
Yeah, I feel like the, well, now particularly I could be wrong with this, but I feel like rave is synonymous with mass amounts of like drug use and like sexual freedom and all this other kind of stuff. what And it's not necessarily that. I think that definitely does happen at raves, but because of that association, it it really is looked down upon more than like just a regular concert or something like that, where the same things happen. Absolutely. and ah normal concert A normal concert versus a rave, but it's unfortunate that people can't just you know mourn and just say hey this is a big issue we have to like be like oh well because they deserved it and no one deserves that full
Conclusion and Reflection
00:26:22
Speaker
stop no one deserves it no no but it does sound like the the most the common sentiment in the area at least was more on the side of you know this was a an an occasion of gun violence and the gun was to blame not the people which yeah yeah I think was I think is ah a good take and a pretty cool take especially for that time right
00:26:42
Speaker
for sure for sure yeah so that's the story it's fucked up and it's sad and it's horrible and there's really no more to say than that unfortunately and well have you ever been to a rave i have not i have some friends that like to go and if there's I've been interested to go to one, um but yeah I'm an old lady and I like to go to bed early. So I don't know if braves are really for me.
00:27:15
Speaker
Yeah, I used to partake. ah Yeah, I'm also an old lady now. Yeah. It does seem like the more mainstream it got, just the more kind of messy and different the culture became. Yeah, I agree with that.
00:27:29
Speaker
which I think is, we said about really anything, right? Like when it is pretty nuclear and like you can control a little bit more, it's, i don't know, it's more community-based, more fun and people are looking out for each other and just having a good time.
