teen witch posted:I’d like a goddamn episode on the weird Columbine groupies OR angry white men as a demographic. I mean...most of it can be boiled down to “we’re addicted to failing people at their most vulnerable”, but still. Might I suggest something re. those who lionize Elliot Rodgers, now that there was the recent thing in Canada that was officially recognised as incel violence or something like that? Or, unless it's too soul-crushing to bear, those who lionize Dylan Roof?

Dyaln Roof himself might make a good episode, his full name is Dylan Storm Roof, and his mom named him after some soap opera character.

The first half of the Elon Musk episode is very good I’m excited to see how off the rails part two goes. His childhood is way more hosed up than I really could’ve imagined and it’s clear Robert really feels bad for the kid.

The problem with JWohl isn't JWohl, it's the weird black hole of literally zero consequences that JWohl exudes like a hosed up X-Men power. I literally cannot concieve of someone pulling the stunts Jacob has pulled and literally never being disciplined or facing any consequences whatsoever. Like the punishment for scamming people on the stock market is... being told you can't do that anymore? Accusing Mueller of Rape and bribing a woman to accuse him of rape gets you... nothing from anyone anywhere? Like even the FBI, where Mueller works, did anything about it? Like Donald Trump i understand as being immune because he's the POTUS or whatever, but how is JWohl just so soaked in fish oil that nothing sticks to him?

Jacob Wohl is a mix of incredibly awful person whose stunts are so dumb they are worth marveling at. Roof's only real significant act was to shoot nine people to death in a church. He's a monster but really, I dunno, going into detail on him seems gross. Anders Breivik would be a better pick for a mass shooter.

I imagine doing an episode on Breivik would be so emotionally draining. Even more than a normal episode. I feel like there'd be absolutely no levity to it at all, just a straight 90 minutes of horror and hatred.

There should at least be a mention of his ties to the Oslo hip hop community while he was a graffiti writer  http://animalnewyork.com/2011/norwegian-terrorist-used-to-bomb-oslo-%e2%80%a6-with-graffiti/

Anders Breivik would be a better pick for a mass shooter. to be fair Wohl's partner these days is Jack Burkman, whose primary claim to fame other than leaving his fly down was his Seth Rich conspiracy theorist which led to him getting shot in the butt while running from a hotel parking garage while carrying a dog and a traffic cone fleeing a partner he double crossed. So it's like ineptitude squared maybe Charles Whitman might be a better case especially given the focus on police militarization and how the UT tower killing is something that can be traced to that. Though from what I remember Whitman had a brain tumor which could have been the cause so he might not actually be a true bastard.

Nah, most shooters are pretty dull in terms of backstories. "RAAAHHH I HATE THE BLACKS/GAYS/WOMEN *BLAM*BLAM*BLAM*" Harris and Klebold are only interesting because of the stupidity and how people emulate them for the wrong reason. Honestly, you want a good Bastard, do a episode on Henry Ford, the union busting anti-Semite who was loved by Hitler.

I think the Unabomber would make a fascinating episode, as well as the idea of going postal. Those both have modern relevancies (technology and labor, respectively) and would be fairly entertaining

DC Murderverse posted:I think the Unabomber would make a fascinating episode, as well as the idea of going postal. Those both have modern relevancies (technology and labor, respectively) and would be fairly entertaining The Unabomber was the first terrorist I ever read about as a kid (read about him in my grandparents' Reader's Digest), and that probably did a lot to shape some of my interests as an adult, so I definitely would love to hear a BtB episode on ol' Ted. And Robert, I hope you're doing okay. Try to take care of yourself while you're out there covering the protests.

Started listening to the Mad Mike Hoare episodes. The start of the first one on H.
