While the authenticity of its origin has yet to be determined, a letter allegedly written by Jiverly Wong, the suspect in the tragic shootings in Binghamton, New York last Friday, has been received by a New York television station.

For ongoing updates to this story, please see NowPublic's featured coverage of the Binghamton Shooting

The suspect in last week's deadly shooting at a Binghamton, New York, immigrant center believed he had been harassed for years by undercover police officers, according to a letter received by a New York television station and purportedly written by that suspect, Jiverly Wong.

The letter, which was postmarked on the day of the shooting, April 3rd, also contained photographs of Mr. Wong showing him with handguns, gun permit, and his driver's license.

If authenticated, this piece of evidence could shed some light on the motives behind last week's tragic events in which 14 people, including Wong, lost their lives.

Police said they were studying the two-page letter, neatly written in broken English, to determine its authenticity. But the package that arrived Monday at News 10 Now in Syracuse also contained photographs of Wong with two handguns, his gun permit and his driver's license.

An excerpt of the letter indicates that Wong may have believed that he was under ongoing surveillance by government officials and pressure from authorities to "leave the country".

Foreshadowing the end of his own life, the letter culminates in the following statement:

At the end of the letter, Wong complained that he cannot "accept my poor life" and that he assume the role of judge and "cut my poor life." He demanded that an "undercover cop" be held responsible for whatever happened and ended with "You have a nice day."

It will be interesting if the 'undercover' cop ever existed, and if so will his identity ever be released. Thanks for the info, Jarrett.

Doesn't anyone find the fact that the "meat" of the letter is filled with redundant numbers and dates? Why does our current media always dwell on the obvious fact that the person was disgruntled? This goes way beyond...ever wonder why the people who perpetrate murder of this degrree usually have no past history of crime and they are usually immigrants or all american mid-western loonies. Frindge or marginal characters that no one (except immediate family) would miss. I suspect they did not have control of their actions.

Based on the letter he left, it sounds like he was a target of a practice that is being termed Gang Stalking.

GangStalkingWorld.com

This involved rumours, slander, 24/7 surveillance, constant job loss, moving from place to place, and community harassment. Most targets of this practice commit suicide, or end up being falsly institutionalised. Other just like workplace mobbing, do commit acts of violence.

I suggest that those who care about the people that died, help request his Freedom Of Information Act records, the public has a right to know if these types of ongoing investigation are driving people to acts of violence.

I would second that, you're goddamned right he was gangstalked and what really went down in New York is his handlers steered him straight into one of their viable options for disposal of another human being someone labelled an "oddball". What's going to be the most disturbing thing is all the news agencies are not going to seriously cover that.

Slippery slope, folks.... when will your number come up.... you better start caring because if everyone waits until they believe it by being personally affected, (targeted) there will not be enough free people walking around to stop it.

The following article is interesting, in light of this discussion:

http://news10now.com/content/binghamton_tragedy/137113/johnson-city-police-had-interaction-with-wong/Default.aspx

As is well-known, the experience of many who are stalked and harassed (and worse) is that the police are dismissive; don't even allow for the possibility of surreptitious entry into one's home; and while they may not come right out and say "this guy's crazy", they allude to it, as in the above article.

Sadly, the public may never know the whole truth about this terrible (and quite possibly, preventable) tragedy in Binghamton.

Obviously there is more here than simple paranoia. I think this man had been gangstalked, and because of his limited language skills and cultural barriers, was not able to differentiate what his stalkers wanted him to believe and what truly was happening—namely stalking, abuse, and harassment, but not by an "undercover cop."

These abusers cover their tracks by deliberately misleading their victims into thinking it is others perpetrating the stalking. They alienate and isolate the victim from his community through job loss and a system of discrediting, controlling them financially and socially. Finally, some groups it seems like to push even further and rather than simply suffer their victim, choose to have their victim commit horrific violence to see other suffer.

Sadly, that kind of deadly game is entertainment for some.

There should be an investigation into the common threads of what these violent offenders have suffered to get them to commit such acts. It is not simply, "they were psychotic." Something—or someone, or group of someones—pushed them there. Where is the true investigator? Or will we have to wait for a courageous journalist, as we have in uncovering so many other crimes?

I have been told by other TI's that perps like to allude to being gov't agents of some sort, partly because this empowerment is part of the fantasy life they wish they were leading, and partly because they know this prevents the target from reacting violently against them. The whole gangstalking thing has different roles each individual can play, some of which were set up in above the board programs, like citizen corps who made no bones about expanding neighborhood watches to Stasi-like informant groups.

Those people are less creepy than the vehicle perps, who drive around intimidating people. Some of them drive old police cars and dress vaguely police-like, real closet cases who probably didn't get hired for the department because the day they took the test there was a hiring freeze on sociopaths.

For quite a while before I could put a name on it and figure out what was going on, I thought I had undercover police checking me out, even tailing me around town once in awhile. For what? I thought, nothing I was doing or had done was a big deal, I am far in arrears on child support payments (to the government, paying offsetting for the ex's welfare checks) and had skipped a lot of April 15's, drove without a DL for some years, split a bag of pot with my friends every payday....I can think of other minor things- was any of that worth spending money putting plainclothes detectives on me- then moving them in next door? Then you realize they weren't investigating- they were harrassing- hating on you- giving you the feeling you didn't deserve to live, they would drive by over and over and glare at you like you were scum. A few times in the last year I've walked out in the park near my house, sat on a bench at 3 am and had a car circle the parking lot slowly a hundred times, for an hour, slowing to a crawl as his lights were trained on me- even stopping, revving the engine, like I was prey. I have no fear of that, happened again a week or so ago, and even have taken to stepping into the street in front of such creeps- get it over with you moron, I'm not doing it for you, you want me gone it's on your hands.

It's not really gangstalking. It's just plain stalking by a bunch of creepy psychobillies and I've begun to call it just that, rather than dilute or diffuse it with "gang" or "organized".

I printed up a bunch of pieces of 8 1/2 x 11 paper with the font on 138 (largest will fit) that says "STALKER go home!" and fold up a fresh one whenI go for a walk, holding it up when I am sure it's a perp and not a random idiot. Another in my window says"smile for the camera, STALKER" and "Stalk me today, be on youtube tommorrow!"

I can imagine the Binghamton shooter's frustration. I wonder if any of his victims were his perps?

From a psychoanalytic perspective who ends a death letter "have a nice day". This person was much more frustrated than prone to violence. In time, it will be clear that this and countless acts of mass violence were related to GANG STALKING. The truth is being tightly controlled because of, inter alia, catastrophic negligence liability against the government.
