[17th Miss Regt]

I like to tell folks about Erf Day’s founder Ira Einhorn. He murdered his girlfriend and kept her body in a trunk in his closet for a couple of years. When the police were about to search his house he took off for France and lived there because France refused to extradite him when they thought he might be facing a death penalty in America. He was a model progressive.

I remember that name from the old “America’s Most Wanted” show!

I’m trying to remember who it was on TV that celebrated “Earth Day” this year. Might it have been the Weather Channel? I can’t remember; I was skipping channels and there was some reference to it.

That guy’s story gives me the creeps. As they used to say, “A hangin’s too good fer ‘im.”

Actually, Philly police searched Einhorn’s stinky filthy apartment while he was there, and found the Holly Maddux corpse. Although an obvious murderer and psychopath, Einhorn was given a very modest bail with the help of his attorney, ARLEN SPECTER.

His 10% bail bond was paid by a leftard Seagram’s heir in Canada. Then just days before his murder trial he fled the country.

Apparently Mr. Unicorn is doin’ time here in the US now.

Lest you get tripped up by this:

"Time, in 1970, cited Wisconsin Sen. Gaylord Nelson as the founder of the event1. He “casually suggested that all Americans set aside April 22nd as a day for serious discussion of environmental problems” in 1969, and the idea went viral. (Or however ideas spread in the late ’60s and early ’70s.) Large observations were held around the country — 1,500 college campuses and 10,000 schools planned events, per Time — 45 years ago, with notable rallies in Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park and in New York City. "

No, Ira Einhorn Is Not the Founder of Earth Day

Besides being an abuser and murderer, he was a first class scam artist as well, before he murdered his girlfriend, from what I remember from reading a book about his crime.
