Found Deceased CA - Blaze Bernstein, 19, Lake Forest, 2 Jan 2018 #7 *Arrest*

[PetDetective]

Regarding iFunny, I posted this a few threads ago:

I just wanted to comment on this as I've seen it mentioned a couple times. IFunny was scrubbed also, but a few people had saved some posts from SW (I believe 2-3) and one person had posts of their own with pics of SW - 4 IIRC. Everyone was looking at the TAG Saboteur, not his account (which had been removed). None of the posts under the tag were his (who tags themselves on their own post?)

Recently IFunny removed the tag Saboteur and now the only tag is Sab.

The only posts you can see there are opinions of people who knew SW from his internet persona. According to them he left long ago and removed his posts at that time.

Right. His account was deleted a few months ago. However, a few people had screenshots of his posts from when it was active.

That's what I said: "saved" = screenshots.

But again, very few, I saw them and took screenshots myself. At most a handful.

I have been following this case from the beginning with all of the facts and rumors. That being said, I only hope that SW and BB smoked some weed or had some alcohol or took some kind of pill or whatever. I hope the autopsy on BB will show strangulation or some other thing to cause a quick death because I cannot even imagine the horror, pain and suffering that BB might have suffered being stabbed more than 20 times.

Areed. I am wondering if you Could murder someone with 20 stab wounds only. Would seem to me after the first one , I am not sticking around for 21 more.
IMOO, and I have said this from the start, I feel BB was murdered somewhere else and placed in the park the same night. SW did have some 5 hours to wash up and transport the body.

I believe there is no way the murder could have happened in the park....the crime scene would be impossible to miss by searchers and search dogs due to the bloody scene. SW would not be able to clean up himself as well as the sight of the murder in such a public place. JMO!

Did law enforcement impound SW's own car as well as the rental? Wherever the murder took place it must have been a very private place to not cause a great disturbance, don't you think?

I think he murdered BB in the park. I can't see why SW would drag a dead body through the park, even that late at night. There was blood found on a sleeping bag and I believe, I could be wrong though, that he laid out the sleeping bag and killed him on that. He may have strangled him first then stabbed him over 20 times. We don't know how much blood was on the sleeping bag but that is how I believe this all happened. :thinking:

I think it is more of an anti -religous attitude rather than an anti catholic attitude per se. In short, had the suspect been a conservative protestant, then his religion must have also played a part in the murder.

So...had the suspect been a liberal atheist, would you say his atheism would have played a part?

The problem is, ifunny is known for being a forum full of trolls and hoaxters. Who knows if any of what they are saying is true. Who knows if these so called screenshots are real or fake?

 

[Seajay]

Let's face it, the cheese slipped off SW's crackers. He's not right. No one that stabs someone is right. He has a lot of deep seeded loathing and hatred. Why? Who knows, but he obviously is not all there. Some people are just born evil. Religion, politics, nerf games, bingo, nothing particular has to play a part in it. Carry on.

 

[Cryptic]

No- I would not unless there was hard, concrete supporting evidence (ie suspect making references to atheistic or socialist writings to justify harming the victim after the fact, or the suspect calling for violence against the victim and using atheistic writings for justification etc)

Yes, and I agree. If the suspect references Christian writings to justify harming the victim, then I will agree that Christianity played a role.

 

[Gussified]

SMH

There is no attack on christianity or Catholicism AT ALL....

<snipped>

Ironically, I was responding to a post that literally described an ‘anti-religious attitude’. Maybe you didn’t realize that.

 

[Catonahottinroof]

Yes, and I agree. If the suspect references Christian writings to justify harming the victim, then I will agree that Christianity played a role.

The suspect referenced homophobic ideology to police -he used the worst slur you can use to describe a gay person.

Most young People today (especially those who have attended very liberal high schools) are very accepting of same sex relationships and are not homophobic. Again homophobia is taught.

So SW had to learn it somewhere - when we say perhaps his strict Catholic upbringing helped contribute to his feelings of disdain for gay sexuality I believe that is not something you can brush off as having no impact. When you are gay and you are Catholic you are VERY aware that the church's teachings don't apporve of you. It creates psychological conflict.

If one doesn't have many other support systems in place the results can be deadly- usually in the form of suicide but perhaps he turned his rage outward. SW doesn't seem to have had many other support systems - i.e. No friends, a family that might disapprove of him if he came out, and it doesn't appear he had concrete career aspirations -he left college.

Agreed. There very few religions that condone or encourage murder.

The 20-year-old Newport Beach man facing a murder charge in the fatal stabbing of former high school classmate Blaze Bernstein spoke openly on social media about his Catholic faith and conservative political views.

Samuel Lincoln Woodward wrote more than a year ago on his ASKfm page that if he were stranded on a tropical island, he'd want a Bible and a Colt .45 with him.

"Anything is possible through the Lord who strengthens me," he wrote.

He also expressed disdain for then-President Obama, calling him an "arrogant, hypocritical, spineless socialist," and for the song "Same Love," singer Macklemore's anthem in support of same-sex marriage.

Im not sure if this has been posted, but looks relevant.

I just went back there to find them and every single post on that site tagged with his username is gone.

There were hundreds.

Just because something is tagged with his name doesn't mean he was the originator of the post. It's just a tag.

 

[Gooddeeds]

Thanks, but I was looking for links to his accounts that show he's a white nationalist. He may be, but no one has been able to provide any links. And then there is this:

The iFunny.co app and website have seen an explosion of memes with Woodward’s face, referring to him as Saboteur and “sab.” The word saboteur is common on internet forums frequented by far-right users. It is an internet term-of-art for a traitor, especially for a white person who rejects white nationalist views.

Not sure, there still may be some links in earlier threads. I am only going off of the teacher and the 2 or 3 others that have given there names for backup as witnesses to the claims.

I missed the teacher calling him a white nationalist, but I only read one article where the teacher was quoted a few days ago. I just googled and didn't see it. Do you have a link?

I don't think anyone than the teacher gave a name. A paper that sites "ifunny users" as sources is junk journalism. The teacher never said he was a white nationalist. He simply said the stomping photo was him.

References to the "local chatter" have been removed as it is considered rumor.

 

[Milenalee]

When it’s been tampered with. They take originals and layer them with random stuff to make it look like it’s an ongoing conversation.

They can take anything. It doesn't have to be an original. I saw his mug shot put into new things supposed from Sab or sabatuer.
