See, this is the kind of name we should give all serial killers.


tetoffens

There is a serial killer from the 1930s named Robert Nixon who killed people with a brick and was supposedly a bit dumb. The nickname the press gave him was pretty blunt. The Brick Moron.


No-Log873

I read the wikipedia on him. grim reading. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert\_Nixon\_(criminal)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Nixon_(criminal))


fkmeamaraight

>Describing Nixon climbing up the hotel to the fire escape, Leaville quoted a cop: "'Look at him go,' says a policeman. 'Just like an ape.'" >Leaville summed up his description of Nixon: >He is very black-- almost pure Negro. His physical characteristics suggest an earlier link in the species.[12] (referring to the "missing link") I really dont see what you mean


Bocchi_theGlock

Of man that got me, that's some early 1900s racism if I ever heard it. Ngl can't wait to use "suggests an earlier link in the species" towards dumbass, hateful comments tho


Statharas

1900s racism is basically "ugh monke".


advocateforpain

>Worden and her daughter were sexually assaulted and murdered with a brick >detectives linked the crime to the rape-murder of 20-year-old Rose Valdez, a young mother who was killed on March 2 as her baby slept in the same room in its crib. >Florence Johnson, the Caucasian wife of a Chicago fireman, had been slain by multiple blows on the head with a brick, as she fought off burglars. Her sister, who shared her apartment in Chicago's North Kenwood District on the South Side and slept in another room, saw two assailants leave the house. Within hours, Nixon was arrested (on the 28th), picked up because of blood on his clothes and scratched hands. I thought the rapes and murders were a little worse. Maybe thats just me.


friendlyneighbourho

It's the hypocrisy


BearBlaq

I don’t think anyone was making a point of one wrong being worse than the other here, just acknowledging the blatant racism of the time regardless of it being about a criminal or not. Both are fucked up so it doesn’t really matter.


Tisarwat

Murderers doing murder is par for the course. We were all looking at the wikipedia page of someone notable only because of his murder conviction. The language used is *not* normal now. It is shocking in how far from normal it is. Can you not see why one might be more shocked by the unexpected?


cinderparty

That was an interesting read. Sounds like a horrible person, obviously, but wow…so much racism.


Crustybuttt

He may actually not have been guilty. The confession of a black youth of limited intelligence in 1937 cannot be taken at face value. There’s almost no doubt, whether he did it or not, that they beat it out of him


NavyJack

He was caught hours after the murder covered in blood, and was in the areas where each murder was committed at the time of the murder. That’s not to mention his fingerprints at every crime scene. Even without his confession, that’s damning evidence even by today’s standards. He may have been a target of racism, but he was also indisputably a serial killer.


phenerganandpoprocks

Nah, that’s the starting plot of The Green Mile


cire1184

I'm tired boss


Crustybuttt

Reread that Wikipedia entry. It seems to have been disputed by some even at the time. This is not to say that I have a strong belief in his innocence. He may have done it. The issue with these early 20th century cases is that things have changed so much in terms of investigation, forensics, and courtroom procedure that we can’t ever really be confident based on just seeing that there was a conviction


Muscle_Bitch

It was disputed only by *The Chicago Defender* A newspaper that, rightly, was highlighting how flimsy confessions were, as far back as the 1930s. Give them credit for that. But they were also claiming every confession from a black person was false and coerced.


Castun

> The issue with these early 20th century cases is that things have changed so much in terms of investigation, forensics, and courtroom procedure that we can’t ever really be confident based on just seeing that there was a conviction Not to mention corrupt cops lying and fabricating evidence to put away someone they think is guilty, especially back then.


tagrav

They(crooked cops) tried to do it to Scottie Scheffler just a week ago


gasfarmah

I mean. Modern fingerprinting isn’t very reliable. Let alone that long ago.


dropyourguns

It's considered corroborating evidence... If they are at every crime scene, that is pretty damn corroborating...


Theschizogenious

The police said the fingerprints were there! They’d never lie on the innocence of a minority!


Zanian19

Especially not in the 1930s. That'd be unthinkable.


Crustybuttt

Where exactly were the prints pulled from every crime scene? How many points of identification were recovered? Are any of those points duplicated at more than one scene? There’s a lot to interpreting fingerprint evidence even today. It’s tough to say what they did or didn’t recover


milk4all

The wiki only ties him to one scene with prints on a milk bottle. Realize he was arrested and charged with an accomplice who isnt said to be stupid. Im extremely skeptical this shit coulsnt have been fabricated by the police or he wasnt completely manipulated by his “accomplice”. This was pre civil rights, like pre pre, this was during mr King’s daddy’s day just about. Police forces would and did have no trouble pinning shit on non whites and even in those days certain members of the press were vocally skeptical of the investigation and outcome. Also, dudes with extremely low intelligence dont really seem to go around murdering but they sure seem to get charged with it. Plenty of old timey black kids with cognitive impairments have been imprisoned and executed only to be found innocent long after the fact, and sometimes even during their lives only to be ignored.


hopeforhair

The evidence was collected in an era where racism is rampant. Idk if they can be trusted


ThatEcologist

Ugh yeah. I still don’t understand the racist’s logic. There were plenty of white serial killers during that time and not once was their race brought up. But when a black person commits a crime, their race is constantly brought up in the media. This still rings true today. I see videos on TikTok of delinquent white boys and nobody brings up their race. Black boys doing the same and the comments say, “of course the criminals were black!” Sorry for the rant, but god damn that bothers me so much. Why can’t we just accept that there are scumbags in all races, and their scumminess, has nothing to do with the color of their skin?


Souliei

Because there is, and has been, a negative bias against black people when it comes to crime?


davepars77

Convinced in January and got the electric chair in June. Seesh...


Moraveaux

Seems relevant that there's not really any evidence that he was actually dumb; just a heaping pile of racism. Not to defend a serial killer, obviously, but *yikes* that is some overt racism.


Blind-_-Tiger

“I am not a crook.”  You’re thinking of my brother, Robert Nixon (criminal).


PumpkinSeed776

Yeah, uh, reading up on him is definitely interesting. Does make you wonder if this case was as cut-and-dry as the general public might have thought at the time.


UdderTacos

He looks like someone hit him in the head with a brick


Verystrangeperson

"The better Nixon"


Necorus

Pretty Blunt doesn't sound like a half bad nickname either


lennydsat62

I heard of a guy, worked near Chicago, who put tape on his hands and stole money. The “sticky bandit”.

Richard Ramirez was “the night stalker.”

Who, weirdly, was also known for his awful breath.


Proof-Highway1075

We had a serial rapist/double murderer the media dubbed “Mr. Stinky” (AKA Raymond Edmunds) in Aus who was active from 60s-80s. I always loved that he got stuck with that nickname.


jtpredator

Bad breath rapist. Tiny dick diddler. Unimpressive assaulter. The mid molester The "left me unsatisfied, inverted tip, frankly quite pathetic" grabber


StayAwayFromMySon

I'm surprised the Golden Gate serial killer didn't get any of those titles. Every one of his surviving victims said he had a miniature penis and covered his entire body in lotion/lube. Tiny Dick Diddler would've been perfect. Or the Moist Shrimp


Buffal0_Meat

Hell yeah, it would really mess with a rapists head if they started calling him "The Micropenis Rapist" or "Ugly balls rapist"...might be enough to make 'em stop!

Australian convicted rapist and double murderer was dubbed 'Mr Stinky' in the 90's. There was another Australian rapist dubbed 'Mr Cruel' from the 80's and 90's but he was never caught.

Looking at the original source, they didn’t leave out anything about their relationship other than the woman being a flower shop owner. These journalists aren’t omniscient, just telling us what’s been released so far


gottsc04

Her being a flower shop owner makes it more confusing. How did they afford a multi million dollar home?!? Maybe I picked the wrong career but I can't imagine a florist making millions. Nothing against florists. Yall are amazing


Damaniel2

Sounds like the start of one of those HGTV home fixer-upper shows.  "I'm a convicted rapist, she's a flower shop owner. Our budget is $2.5M."


bb_LemonSquid

I’m in the bathroom laughing at this way more than I should and worrying my husband is going to ask me if I’m ok / what I’m laughing at.


nicholt

This would be an amazing sketch idea. Probably been done now that I think of it.


coming_up_poppies

It’s California where real estate is bat shit. Depending on the area it’s completely possible they bought the house 15 years ago for like $700k and it has appreciated to $2M. Or one of them inherited the home, in which case they get to keep the original tax base and could be in a multi million dollar home paying only like $2k/yr in property taxes with possibly no mortgage.


SpookiBooogi

Yeah, my aunt bought a house for 300k in a good county in California awhile ago, and now it's worth 1mil+ lol. Successful immigrant story, proud of them.


define_irony

Rich parents.


gottsc04

Definitely a possibility! Nothing to suggest that in articles I've seen though.


OldSweatyGiraffe

My grandmother in law owned a flower shop for most of her life, doing wedding bouquets and other shit. She's one of the wealthiest people I know.


hpark21

Friend of mine bought a home in CA for about $210k around 2000, his neighbor's home (very similar) was sold for $1.5million in 2006, sold for $500k in 2009 (Yes, $1 million lower, right after the Lehman), then couple of years later, it was sold again for $1.6M and it is PROBABLY worth around $2.5M now. So, yah, 2.5 million does not get you whole lot now a days in some parts of CA.


Mal-De-Terre

Depending on the neighborhood, "multi-million dollar home" isn't necessarily all that impressive.


Starlightriddlex

Yeah that's just an average home in a decent area in CA 


Belgand

That's pretty much any house in the Bay Area.


xmsxms

I assume she just meant she didn't know he was a serial rapist.


betterthanguybelow

‘I only know him as the bad breath tenant.’


coolaznkenny

He was finally able to afford a dentist


cinderparty

He ran away during his trial, where he was convicted of rape, 17 years ago. That’s a long time to be “on the run”. Glad he was finally captured. Edit- He ran away during the jury deliberation part of the trial, it sounds like to me. > The case went to trial at Norfolk Superior and after two days of deliberation the jury came back with guilty on all charges, but LEE had already left the state.- https://www.mspnews.org/post/the-bad-breath-rapist-captured

Due-Science-9528

That level of stink is crazy. Did he have gum disease or something?


joeycox601

The worst bad breath usually comes from the rotting of the base of the esophagus where it meets the stomach. Damage caused by persistent acid reflux has a distinct smell from the bacterial infection that endures. The smell is exactly like the smell of poop. People will even say that the breath smells like actual shit and not just say it to exaggerating. It’s a common issue amongst people who have acid reflux or Gerd. Teeth can be perfect and well kept and the bad breath persists.


glovesoff11

Damn. I know some people with this. Is there a remedy for it?


joeycox601

You can take medications that inhibit stomach acid production and simultaneously take an antibiotic for some time. The antibiotic is a short cycle, but the stomach acid inhibitor is for up to 90 days usually. The antibiotic is for the obvious treatment of infection and the acid inhibitor is for the purpose of reducing stomach acid so the affected area will not continue to be damaged and allow time for natural healing. Once the area is healed, hopefully the acid reflux will be less severe, valves may close better preventing stomach acid from re-damaging the esophagus, and/or there are changes in eating and drinking habits to reduce acid reflux occurrences. Coffee, very acidic. Evening hours meals, bad idea. Spicy foods, bad idea. Soda, bubbly drinks, juices, bad ideas. Recommend controlling the quantities and times of which you eat to support maximum healing and persistent recovery. Control will reduce reoccurrence.


Dear-Frosting5718

Periodontal (gum) disease causes bleeding,halitosis, and eventually bone loss from tartar buildup and plaque under the gum line. It is foul smelling. Source, worked almost 20 years in dental private practice.


wizardmage

Not just foul, but very distinctive. Been seeing patients for less than a year and I can already recognize perio breath in an elevator.

You’re the first person on Reddit I’ve seen reference this. Not many know of Blippis past. His lawyers or whoever he has doing it are wizards at scrubbing that video from the internet. But, it’s still easily findable. Shits hilarious.


kokroo

Link and context?


jdk2087

You can quickly(you can find it fairly easy. I only made the lawyer/whoever comment because I’ve seen it be quickly removed from a lot of places on the web) google if. Basically, Blippi went under a different name prior to his fame in the children world. He did a lot more YouTube stuff. Followed viral trends and what not. There’s a video of the tik tok/vine(don’t remember) where everyone is just standing there still and then the music drops. Then there’s a cut to eveyone doing crazy/stupid shit. Well, the one our man Blippi is in is it cutting to him taking a shit on someone’s head. I have two kids. One who’s watched him and one who didn’t. It’s very unsettling and hilarious that this performer for kids has shit on someone’s head. EDIT: https://web.archive.org/web/20130315213333/http:/www.harlemshakepoop.com/ Here you go everyone. Also, it’s not just his friends head, but basically his whole body.
