"John Lewis, John Lewis, please tell me your mind, Do you intend to marry me or leave me behind?" "Little Omie, little Omie, I'll tell you my mind, My mind is to drown you and leave you behind."
That's Puckerfuss by Bartholomew Renier Lynch which is a tribute to Jellon Grame's piece, I've literally seen in hung in public greeting rooms which makes it the definition of safe for work.
The murderer's identity remains unknown to this day, although various possible identifications of varying plausibility have been proposed. Most notoriously, on March 13, 1919, a letter purporting to be from the Axeman was published in the newspapers saying that he would kill again at 15 minutes past midnight on the night of March 19, but would spare the occupants of any place where a jazz band was playing. That night all of New Orleans's dance halls were filled to capacity, and professional and amateur bands played jazz at parties at hundreds of houses around town. There were no murders that night.
The Axeman's most famous letter
Esteemed Mortal:
Hell, March 13, 1919
They have never caught me and they never will. They have never seen me, for I am invisible, even as the ether that surrounds your earth. I am not a human being, but a spirit and a demon from the hottest hell. I am what you Orleanians and your foolish police call the Axeman.
When I see fit, I shall come and claim other victims. I alone know whom they shall be. I shall leave no clue except my bloody axe, besmeared with blood and brains of he whom I have sent below to keep me company.
If you wish you may tell the police to be careful not to rile me. Of course, I am a reasonable spirit. I take no offense at the way they have conducted their investigations in the past. In fact, they have been so utterly stupid as to not only amuse me, but His Satanic Majesty, Francis Josef, etc. But tell them to beware. Let them not try to discover what I am, for it were better that they were never born than to incur the wrath of the Axeman. I don‘t think there is any need of such a warning, for I feel sure the police will always dodge me, as they have in the past. They are wise and know how to keep away from all harm.
Undoubtedly, you Orleanians think of me as a most horrible murderer, which I am, but I could be much worse if I wanted to. If I wished, I could pay a visit to your city every night. At will I could slay thousands of your best citizens, for I am in close relationship with the Angel of Death.
Now, to be exact, at 12:15 (earthly time) on next Tuesday night, I am going to pass over New Orleans. In my infinite mercy, I am going to make a little proposition to you people. Here it is:
I am very fond of jazz music, and I swear by all the devils in the nether regions that every person shall be spared in whose home a jazz band is in full swing at the time I have just mentioned. If everyone has a jazz band going, well, then, so much the better for you people. One thing is certain and that is that some of your people who do not jazz it on Tuesday night (if there be any) will get the axe.
Well, as I am cold and crave the warmth of my native Tartarus, and it is about time I leave your earthly home, I will cease my discourse. Hoping that thou wilt publish this, that it may go well with thee, I have been, am and will be the worst spirit that ever existed either in fact or realm of fancy. The Axeman
Gertrude Nadine Baniszewski A.K.A.: "The Torture Mother" perpetrated "the single worst crime perpetuated against an individual in Indiana's history" A torturous death so terrible lead investigators called it "comparable to crucifixion but a lot slower."
"They were using sonic pressure on my head since 1997"
"I robbed them, and I killed them as cold as ice, and I would do it again, and I know I would kill another person because I've hated humans for a long time."
Bum-Kon perpetrated the entire Uiryeong massacre, killing 56 people and wounding 35 others, because "he got mad his girlfriend swatted a fly on his chest while he was sleeping."
That same girlfriend recounted "it was the only time I'd ever seen him happy."
"I used a power drill on their skulls and poured acid inside, I wanted to turn them into zombies not kill them, so they would stay with me and love me forever."
Ricard Trenton Chase was a serial killer and cannibal dubbed "The vampire of Sacramento" who killed and mutilated a vast number of animals, his mother literally catching him "red handed" devouring a cat...but nothing was done as his mental illness took deeper and deeper a hold on his mind. He suffered from erectile dysfunction which he thought was due to not having enough blood to achieve erection. He believed he needed "supplements" which he gained via brutal attacks on families he believed "welcomed" him because they left the door unlocked while home. He would roam the neighborhood in his bloody clothing peering in windows yet people were either too frightened or didn't care since he would leave. He killed 6, usually through extreme mutilation. His most appalling crime being the kidnapping, possible rape and subsequent dumping of a baby "because I took it to blend it for a drink, I was mad when it wouldn't fit in the blender so I got angry." His extremely deranged mind believed things such as someone stealing his pulmonary artery, he was in extreme pain....all of it imagined.
A vengeful coward, Marc Lepine couldn't stand his frequent rejection by women smarter than he was. His gutless and slimy actions caused the death of 14 incredibly well educated women when he opened fire in a french Canadian all girl college.
The most disgustingly frightening feature of his crimes is that similar cowards have venerated his despicable actions into those of a hero.
Responsible for a bombing that killed 168 people and injuring over 500 others, Timothy McVeigh desired to ignite an apocalyptic race war similar to his favorite piece of racist literature, the Turner diaries which refers to Hitler as "the great one." Far right doesn't even begin to describe the man.
Born premature with heavily disfigured hands fused at the wrist Tsutomu Miyazaki took solace in pedophile pornography and violent media. Later he would escalate to serial killing, pedophilia, cannibalism, vampirism, mutilation, necrophilia, rape, kidnapping as well as proliferation of vile crimes on videotape.
In court he claimed a "Ratman" persona made him commit these vile acts. This picture is of the hands that committed every conceivable crime against four helpless little girls.
Looking back I realized all those things that I lost And sometimes can't help but think about how it wasn't, wasn't worth the cost I'm a little older, none the wiser, trying to forget the past The memories might fade, but the mistakes I made will always seem to last
Been listening to the old Local H tunes lately, it's been a while since I last did. Their early 00s albums were the greatest. The later ones were okay, but not that good.
"My, my, my don't tell lies. Keep fidelity in your head My, my, my, don't tell lies. When you're done you should go to bed Don't say Hi, like a spider to a fly Jump right ahead and you're dead"
>>417523 Do people still rick roll others? Or did it die out when Astley was leaning into the memetic popularity after it got well-known and mainstream.
>>417622 It comes up every once in a while, but usually when the situation is just so cliché that a rickroll is what makes the most sense. In other words - when the humour is timed right.
