Linkin Park stalker jailed

Devon Townsend, a computer expert who worked for a US national security company, traced Bennington's email and phone activity.

She admitted to obtaining photos of his family and threatening his wife Talinda.

Mate...

She is just creepy, yeah, i would stalk him, if i could find him that is. its good that she was jailed, but maybe a fine instead of being jailed?

Death penalty

i think this Townsend person should have been sentenced to lethat injection or made to pose for the firing squad.. not cos of the stalking, but for wasting her time on that gay librarian who tries his damn best to scream but sounds like a trapped girl.. anyone who wastes their time stalking chesty poppleton deserves smiting!

Pah

Nice going dickhead.

If you're going to stalk someone, the trick is not to give out your fucking email!

DANG!

Wow, I would never do that! I mean, if I was stalking someone in a band I like, I wouldn't exactly be that out there! It's like my friend (who shall not be named) totally loves Mike from Linkin Park but she would never ever threaten his wife or climb in his shower while he's washing...ewww...why did I mention that? Erm, not that I've ever done something like that before...

Stalker

what's the point? he already has a wife, and stalking someone is just ridiculous. Clearly this woman is a loner. And has nothing else to do.

Talinda and Chester are great people who should have never had to go through that mess.

She was just a big fan

come on like#

thats way to harsh

i mean she is just a really big fan who loved chester to peaices.

i mean i bet if any girl hear or that i new had the balls to stalk someone like chester or Gerrard Way or Pete wentz then they would jump at the chance.

and as far as threatening his wife is then she must love him soo much to do anything to meet him or to be with him

i must say that is way too harsh, i wouln't even call her a staler, JUST A REALLY BIG FAN

xxxx

SICKO

what kind of person would threaten his wife!
i mean, theyre oridinary people who make good music!
and beind a fan is one thing, being obsessed is another, stalking is mental and death threats are just plain sick!
she needs more than 2 years surely
people like that wanna be locked up in bellevue
in a straightjacket
in a locked room
the key to which has been thrown away

SICKO

What da hell iz your problem? Have you ever thought she needed help? I just think that stalkers are desperate weirdos who need help. yeah i no there iz no excuse for her threatening his wife but c'mon u don't need to be so flippin harsh ever thought she could b depressed or mentaly retarded or somethin? I,m not agreeein wid what she did but maybe she needs some good help n support she don't need to be locked in a feakin strait jacket

chester haha

wat has happened to linkin park, their old stuff was way better, you cant beat meteora and hybrid theory. they just want more money so they 're trying to appeal to more wider base of music listeners. which is lame. they suck now

Get back to hybrid theory.
