On this day, May 21, 1924:

Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold murdered Bobby Franks to see if they could get away with committing the perfect crime.

“Lennon had attitude, and, taking his lead from Lennon, McCartney could be similar. At times, they reminded me of those well-to-do Chicago lads Leopold and Loeb, who killed someone because they felt superior to him. Lennon and McCartney were ‘superior human beings’.”

it all comes full circle

A Century of Leopold and Loeb

A century ago today, a couple of rich numbskulls with the erroneous idea that they were somehow superior to the other members of the human race brutally killed a 14 year old boy just to prove to themselves that they could. They claimed to have been inspired by Nietzsche, but instead demonstrated the greater wisdom of Dostoevsky, whose Crime and Punishment spells out the truth about murder: even…

Dick Loeb was an honor graduate of the University of Michigan. He mastered his books, but the greatest book of all time, that of Life, he could not understand; for he had not learned that Life will be avenged on its destroyer. Sane philosophy he rather despised, deeming it “metaphysical bunk,” and fell enmeshed of the diseased gibberings of criminal minds; he had not learned that first lesson of the wisdom of the race that murder cannot be hid. History he studied, and gloried in the exploits of great conquerors of the past. But his hand was turned, not against enemies or even rivals, but against a friendly little boy. French was his favorite study at Harvard school. His particular liking was for French detective stories - but the lesson that crime always betrays itself he had not learned. Psychology was a favorite field of his research. He knew - from books - the inner workings of the mind.

Nathan Leopold Jr., 19 year old intellectual, college graduate and confessed slayer of 13 year old Robert Franks, won fame in Michigan as an ornithologist, who could cause wild birds to eat out of his hand. Now he is called “ the man without a conscience,” who thinks nothing of having slain in cold blood a young boy, just to get a thrill. Leopold is the stoic of the two youthful killers, and apparently has no fear that he will pay for his crime on the gallows.

[johntorrington]

the “based on the novel by meyer levin” in the opening credits of compulsion 1959 is doing a lot of heavy lifting. now what exactly was that novel based on

Vampir (mike) is nonbinary and also uses any pronouns including vampire-related neopronouns such as Vamp/vamps

Timmy is punk and has really good music taste.

Butters is a choir/theater kid, he tried to get the other guys to join the only one that joined was kenny and that's just because he found out there were free snacks after plays/ concerts.

Out of all of the main four boys, cartman was the first to get his driver's license.

Stan likes cheesy anime rhyme games and ends up getting really into project diva and yes everyone did make fun of him for it.

Jimmy, Timmy, Nathan, and mimsy are all camp counselors together, and whenever there's any kind of competition what so ever Nathan gets really competitive he still never wins though.

Nathan and Cartman somehow became really good friends.
