The Twilight of the Vampire King: Jonathon "The Impaler" Sharkey
Posted at 8:40 AM Oct 02, 2008
From "Idiots Gone Wild" on YouTube, an interview with Jonathon Sharkey.
If you are a vampire and you recently felt a shuddering in the vampire continuum, a kind of vamp-quake, that was the sound of Jonathon Sharkey getting his ass thrown in jail.
Sharkey, aka Jonathon the Impaler, was arrested and charged with threatening the president. If the charges are valid, it won't be a big surprise, because Sharkey once called George W. Bush "King George 'Worthless Bitch' Bush" -- among other things -- on video. On the same video he was holding an automatic rifle and he seemed to indicate that one of his other options for targets to shoot with said rifle was the Pope.
Go figure.
Sharkey has lived in Minnesota and Indiana. He was living in Grundy County, TN when he was arrested in connection with felony warrants from those states. In addition to the president, Sharkey allegedly threatened a judge in Indiana.
It's tempting to spend some time telling you more about Jonathon Sharkey. He is nothing if not interesting. But it might be better to just give you some links and let you judge for yourself. I've already linked his music MySpace -- this is one of his personal profiles. Sharkey's "About me" from that page:
MY NAME IS JONATHON "THE IMPALER" SHARKEY AND I AM THE KING OF THE VAMPYRES............. MANY OF YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN ME ON THE NEWS OR HEARD ME ON THE RADIO. I AM ASKING FOR EVERYONE TO PLEASE FORGET ABOUT MY RELIGIOUS BELIEFS. YES I AM A SATANIC VAMPYRE, AND A HECATE WITCH.......IT'S VERY SIMPLE, CHILD MOLESTORS, RAPISTS, KILLERS, DEALERS AND ISTS IMPALED, INSTEAD OF GETTING OFF EASY LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN, I WILL IMPALE THEM!
Awesome.
OKAY.... anyway. This blog -- The Official Gazette of the Vampire Nation -- is not under Sharkey's control, but he's certainly mentioned in many posts, and the current owner of the blog has posted videos of what Sharkey may have intended to be a kind of Vampires' reservation on the land he owned in Tennessee.
In reference to the arrest of the Vampire King, Grundy County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Lonnie Cleek said this was "one of the most bizarre cases" his department has ever encountered. I am inclined to believe him.
If you want to go say hey to the Vampire King, or be able to tell your friends at your next cocktail party that you've met a dude who calls himself "the Impaler," Jonathon Sharkey is currently incarcerated in Marion County, TN. He may face extradition to Minnesota.
Someone out there is hoping Sharkey makes it to Minnesota, because if the Vampire King is ever released, he'll have a new score he surely will want to settle. After Sharkey's arrest, someone set fire to a portion of his property in Grundy County. Local authorities say there are no suspects yet.
I'd personally be looking for a werewolf. We all know how much they hate vampires.
Comments
I think poor Sharkey is a victim of limited literary resources, is "the punisher" on video or comic book?
Posted 10/03/2008 at 02:22:33 PMOdd moniker. You'd assume that a vampire wouldn't want to be giving people ideas about impaling. But the undead are unpredictable like that.
Posted 10/05/2008 at 07:14:09 PMWeird Trench-like wingnut moment, Steve. (Because of the multitude of which I long ago decided I couldn't stomach his site anymore). Cursing Bush does not in itself make this guy's being arrested for threatening physical violence unsurprising.
Posted 10/08/2008 at 04:00:55 AMTroll-like moment for you, Ralph. As for sounding like Trench -- so? He's my friend, deal with it. I'm absolutely no fan of George Bush anymore, though. But I'm not so stupid that I'd ever threaten him in any way. This guy, if he did threaten Bush, is a freaking idiot. He's also not necessarily protected by free speech laws on that score. Threatening the president or a presidential candidate can be a pretty big deal.
If you got tired of Trench, you might get tired of this site. There are others. You're welcome to go to them.
Posted 10/08/2008 at 06:46:31 AMi am one of Jonathan's friends in Indiana, I saw him just before he left for TN, to go to "the vampyre nation" as he called. i didnt know of his arrest until recently- i cannot say i have agreed with the things he has done, and especially the way he makes it public, but there is another side to him, one that many of the people in the world will never get to see.

Posted 11/08/2008 at 01:55:46 AMTiffany, you can try to downplay Sharkey's actions all you want. But when you stalk minors, threaten to kill people over petty things, and claim you're going to be the King, you're nothing more than a piece of shit who deserves to get locked up.
So go take the "other side" of Sharkey and stick it up your arse. ;)
