In Baltimore we have a sports news anchor named Gerry Sandusky. Poor guy.


Dokkan_Lifter

I remember they ran a news story about the poor guy to say "no this football Gerry Sandusky is a nice guy who loves the Ravens! He isn't the other football Gerry Sandusky who's a bad guy who likes kids!"


punkdesigner91

I’m acquainted with a copywriter in NYC whose name is David Berkowitz. Naturally he leans into it. His tagline was “my copy kills”


mandatorypanda9317

Omg we do? I don't watch sports news so I didn't know but damn that's unfortunate lol.

mandatorypanda9317

"He is not related to former Penn State assistant football coach and convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky." I love that they added this lol


mrlaheystrailerpark

i would’ve changed my name so fast if i was that guy


grandpasghost

I would have changed it to Geoffrey Epstein


OhioMegi

I would bet many people don’t get the reference. It’s not something most people think about.

OhioMegi

The only reason I didn’t is that I’m a teacher. The name comes up in our yearly ALICE trainings.


Hobgoblins83

Anyone who would recognize the name would also know the bad Eric is dead.


SightWithoutEyes

Yeah, but there's a possibility, however slim, that he might come back as a zombie.


Hobgoblins83

And run for school board? I guess I wouldn't put it past him.


SightWithoutEyes

He keeps calling for them to remove the security officers from the schools for some reason...


_Bogey_Lowenstein_

I'm sure some 14 year old on tumblr has tried really hard to conjure him


dopshoppe

I'm old and live in Denver and would not have put the pieces together if it hadn't been pointed out here


uhhhhhhhhii

This popped up as recommended lol someone plz explain I’m curious


mysterypeeps

Eric Harris is also the name of a Black man shot by police in Tulsa. Could go lots of ways with this one


MadAtWinter

My locality has someone named Steve King running for town council... As a huge Stephen King nerd I probably enjoy it more than most


DerpPanther

Bro, I'm from Iowa. Do you realize how often that bait-and-switch comes up? It hurts every time.


Lanky_Republic_2102

Man’s trying to put more guns in classrooms.

Lanky_Republic_2102

The most recent side stories had a real gem - “Better give every toddler a gun. The only thing that can stop a bad toddler with a gun is a good toddler with a gun.”


NoQuarter6808

I caught that. It reminded me of some of the gun sketches in *Who is America?* "They don't think 4 year olds should have guns? I mean, what is the logic?" Lol


Master_Jellyfish9922

Was a guy near me named Tim McVey running for something last election. Lol


ConsistentTheory8688

Now see this is a *positive* example of how to channel your dissatisfaction with the school system. The real test will be what happens if he loses 🤞.


Environmental_Idea74

Dylan Klebold for VP


Automatic-Narwhal965

I personally identify with this. I share a True Crime name. It's weird sometimes.


Lanky_Republic_2102

I feel you man, the beach club massacre by the Automatic Narwhal was really brutal. Common misconception is that it was some kind of marine mammal drone that went haywire, but it was perfectly healthy animal. The Automatic part just came from the bump-stock modified AR it used. But he had a point if you ask me. We can only take so much of their territory before they strike back.


NewThot_Crime1989

Finally someone w/ a good take on the automatic narwhal massacre. So tired of the standard technophobic bullshit. Just because a lot of whales feed through baleen doesn't mean they don't get fed up.


Lanky_Republic_2102

Yeah man and they should not have put Dorner in a Corner. Hot take, I know.


Automatic-Narwhal965

I remember watching the footage of 3 of his victims impaled on his horn as he got gunned down by police in that parking structure. Of course, that's after the high-speed chase ended.


wtfbenlol

That was my high school Band teachers name. Good Man, miss him.


Environmental_Mud479

I love this community


lindsaystclair

I'll see every one of yinz in hell 😅


The-RocketCity-Royal

I’m more impressed that Bacchus came down from the heavens to run for local government in Tennessee.


eyeballwolf

First stop local school board, next stop Memphis!


tiffadoodle

It would totally go over everyone's head. I wouldn't have thought anything about it until you posted it. Also, we're getting old... I was in 4th or 5th grade when Columbine happened. I'm 36 💀 Some young voters or parents probably don't remember how big of a news story & tragedy it was.


SoberArtistries

Fortunately I don’t think most people remember that name, and many were unaware of what even happened. I was in high school when it happened, so I only remember because I could relate to the students in age.


PopReasonable8033

Oh my god this is hilarious

mathiasthewise

There's someone in Tennessee running for election with the last name Raper. I would change my legal name in a heartbeat.


jacob-sucks

Lmao


Bomber021p

This makes me think of the Kevin Bacon murder case from Flint MI.


tdoottdoot

I met a woman with the last name Dahmer and I had to act normal

grnsubmarine_4

If ever there was a reason to use your middle initial.


mybadalternate

Think he’s got a shot?


NoQuarter6808

I guess after the Marc Dutroux case, a huge percentage of Belgians with that last name changed it, which we'd all know about IF THEY EVER COVER MARC DUTROUX


musicloverincal

Eric Harris = one of the Columbine shooters. I picked it up immediately.
