Earth Day co-founder killed, composted girlfriend
Ira Einhorn preached against Vietnam War and violence, but had dark side
Ira Einhorn was on stage hosting the first Earth Day event at the Fairmount Park in Philadelphia on April 22, 1970. Seven years later, police raided his closet and found the "composted" body of his ex-girlfriend inside a trunk.
A self-proclaimed environmental activist, Einhorn made a name for himself among ecological groups during the 1960s and '70s by taking on the role of a tie-dye-wearing ecological guru and Philadelphia’s head hippie. With his long beard and gap-toothed smile, Einhorn — who nicknamed himself "Unicorn" because his German-Jewish last name translates to "one horn" —advocated flower power, peace and free love to his fellow students at the University of Pennsylvania. He also claimed to have helped found Earth Day.
But the charismatic spokesman who helped bring awareness to environmental issues and preached against the Vietnam War — and any violence — had a secret dark side. When his girlfriend of five years, Helen "Holly" Maddux, moved to New York and broke up with him, Einhorn threatened that he would throw her left-behind personal belongings onto the street if she didn't come back to pick them up.
And so on Sept. 9, 1977, Maddux went back to the apartment that she and Einhorn had shared in Philadelphia to collect her things, and was never seen again. When Philadelphia police questioned Einhorn about her mysterious disappearance several weeks later, he claimed that she had gone out to the neighborhood co-op to buy some tofu and sprouts and never returned.

While I certainly do not want to make light of a poor girl's murder, that line is just rich.
He merely capped her CO2 output and sequestered her carbon.
It is sad what happened to this young woman, but (and I slapped myself) the story made me smirk.
Vegetarians can be some mean nasty people, I think this is because their body keeps telling them to “eat some meat” and they lash out in anger due to this deep down grumbling in their gut.
Also lacking in Carnitine their brains go completely loopy.
They think savages eat meat, but after savage eats meat they are satiated vs. a Vegetarian who never reaches this state and is eternally tormented by their own body.
Seems like all of these greenies are all a bit off and mentally unstable.
A glimpse of the psychosis of the Left. They have a vision of utopia, if you get in the way of that vision and that agenda - you die.
Unless of course we conservatives take care of you leftists first before it gets that far.
Another of Arlen Specter’s career milestones.
What an idiot.
In order to compost efficiently, the contents must be turned periodically and must be moistened properly and have air circulation.
A trunk is a terrible way to compost.
Einhorns comrade Arlin Specter saw to it that the murdering SOB spent most the rest of life in the south of france.
What an idiot.

Yes it is a bad, however the preferred method uses a wood chipper and most wood chippers run on those evil fossil fuels.....
He should have put her on his tomatos! What a waste!
I seem to remember that Einhorn’s lawyer was Arlen Spector.
No no no no no. Really? No no no no no. He composted his girlfriend? No no no no no. He founded earth day? No no no no no. And he called himself a unicorn? No no no no no. Another donkey trying to pass as a unicorn. I’m sorry. You can paste a stick to your forehead and it no more makes you a unicorn than pasting a tail to your behind makes you a jackass. Well, unless you’re already a Democrat...but that doesn’t count.
Animal fat is never good when creating good compost.
Few vegetarians actually know how to manage their nutrition and maintain their health. Most look malnourished and act like they’re at or over the edge of having a psychotic episode. It also explains why they wish death on humanity and believe in the fascist ideals of their political mentor and fellow vegetarian socialist, Herr Hitler.
That’s right. Thanks for the assist.
