Very true.

The antics of SEIU and Antifa have been bad enough the past three years but at least they aren't being cheered on from the White House like during the last administration. (I'm not sure if Antifa had started operations in the US before Jan. 2017, but similar groups were active, and Obama was always on their side.)

You think that mug shot is ugly, you should have seen that piece of filth before he had plastic surgery as part of his escape plan.

I was there at the first Philly Earth Day, sitting not far from where he was screaming his self-glorifying rant into a microphone to the assembled crowd about being the founder; and was instantly filled with loathing at the mere sight of him.

He was with another lawyer that I knew, Art Makadon, one of District Attorney Ed Rendell’s assistant DA’s.

The article at the link fails to mention the heroic, sustained efforts of the DA after Rendell, Lynne Abraham, who fought those many long years with the cheese-eating surrender monkeys to gain extradition. They were so fastidious about not putting this slimewad to death if he returned to America. No offense to slimewads intended.

Excellent point. The French and EU weanies knew what he did and where he was but would not extradite him because PA had the death penalty.
Lynn Abraham persisted and did a great job bringing him to justice
Remember fake conservative Michael Smerconish also helped raise awareness about this creep?

Thank you. I was hoping it was something more benign like that.

I didn’t know Arlen was Einhorn’s attorney. I must have missed that detail.

I probably had already moved when Smerconish came to attention. While I was there, I listened to the wonderful classical music station while working and WXPN while relaxing. (Wouldn’t do the latter today. )

Ira Einhorn

Born Ira Samuel Einhorn
May 15, 1940
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.
Died April 3, 2020 (aged 79)
Somerset, Pennsylvania, U.S.
Other names The Unicorn Killer, The Unicorn
Criminal status Incarcerated
Criminal charge Murder
Penalty Life imprisonment
Ira Samuel Einhorn (May 15, 1940 – April 3, 2020), known as “The Unicorn Killer”, was an American convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend, Holly Maddux. On September 9, 1977, Maddux disappeared following a trip to collect her belongings from the apartment she and Einhorn had shared in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Eighteen months later, police found her partially mummified body in a trunk in Einhorn’s closet.[1]

After his arrest, Einhorn fled the country and spent twenty-three years in Europe before being extradited to the US. He took the stand in his own defense, claiming his ex-girlfriend had been killed by CIA agents who framed him for the crime because he knew too much about the agency’s paranormal military research. He was convicted and served a life sentence until his death in prison in April 2020.[1][2]

His moniker, “the Unicorn”, comes from the surname Einhorn, which means “unicorn” in German.

Thank you, former D.A. Lynn Abraham.

She never stopped until she got this ba$tard. She may be a Democrat but she was an absolute pitbull on this case.

Was there as well...but among the teeming, unwashed masses in the crowd...

Thanks for the PING.

Stay well!

Actually, Lynne Abraham was the good DA who worked for many years to extradite Einhorn from France.

And as Mayor, Rendell had his moments. I’d say he was 50-50 back then. That was before the Democrat party turned so hard left, and he turned so vociferously anti-gun. He was always a womanizer, though.
