Gene Turnbow
—Internet tough guy (and middle aged pathetic loser) Gene Turnbow makes death threats against 17-year old transgendered girl | ||
Gene Turnbow, legally Gregory Eugene Turnbow (born ca. 1956), is an aging griefer and stalker in the Internet-based game Second Life who believes he is Superman and even enjoys dressing like Superman in real life. He uses the avatar name Kalel Venkman, i.e. Kal El (and possibly others), and is the founder, leader and by far most active member of Justice League Unlimited, a stalking organization in Second Life. Gene Turnbow also harbours strong hatred of transgendered people, and has a history of making death threats and bullying such individuals.
Together with other morbidly obese middle aged losers, Turnbow uses all his spare time to collect information about teenagers and other young people having fun in Second Life. He even went to the effort to create a wiki with literally thousands of entries on other SL players, exclusively for the purpose of stalking women and children[1]. After his secret wiki was leaked to the public, he has harassed ISPs with fake copyright claims in order to suppress distribution of it[2].
When he got banned for cause from virtual estates for his griefing activities, he sometimes convinced the former Plexus Linden to unban him from the estate in question and ban the estate owner instead.
A man in his 50s from Simi Valley in the Los Angeles area in California, he works as a "technical writer, wiki admin and trainer of animators at Rhythm & Hues Studios, Inc." according to his LinkedIn profile[3].
Death threats against 17-year old girl
Gene Turnbow will forever be remembered for the quote "Four shots, wouldn't even empty the clip".
After Tizzers Foxchase and some friends that happen to live close to Kalel in real life, decided to knock on Kalel's door while in costume and trick-or-treating on Halloween[4], Mr. Turnbow made death threats against them:
- [22:35] Kalel Venkman: Had I been home at the time, I'd have been within my legal rights to shoot them all dead on the spot.
- [22:35] Kalel Venkman: Four shots, wouldn't even empty the clip
Tizzers was presumed by Gene Turnbow to be 17 at the time.
Transgendered girl driven to suicide
—55-year old psychopath mocks dead transgendered girl after her suicide at 22 | ||
The perhaps most shocking incident involving Gene Turnbow is the suicide in 2009, on her 22nd birthday, of a transgendered girl known in Second Life as Nikola Shirakawa, who was a member of Gene's vigilante group until 2007, but who left due to their abusive nature. In his creepy stalking wiki, Gene Turnbow describes in excessive detail the harsh rejection he and his other middle aged friends subjected this vulnerable teenager to some years earlier, her suicide plans in 2008 (and his own indifference to them), and her eventual actual suicide the following year. Even after her death, this psychopath persisted in maintaining a long and disturbingly cynical entry on this transgendered girl whom he met when she was still an under age teenager. The entry is full of defamatory and mocking language and thinly veiled hatred of transgendered people, and serves as an example of Gene's total lack of empathy and sick mind.
