OT - Mt. Rushmore of OSU Scumbags
I learned today that the guy who was killed in the FBI standoff yesterday is from Columbus.
(Please don't make this political, think we can all agree someone who tries to kill law enforcement is a bad guy)
As such, I thought about the Mt. Rushmore of OSU Scumbags/Bad People. There are a lot to choose from, so thought I'd get your thoughts.
1. Lex Wexner - Huge OSU benefactor who the OSU medical school (and tons of other stuff at OSU) is named after. This guy was Epstein's benefactor and is the subject of a Hulu doc on Victoria's Secret, and is an alleged sex pest.
2. Casey Anthony - No explanation needed.
3. Jeffrey Dahmer - Attended OSU. Most likely would be an 11Warriors poster if still alive.
4. Urban Meyer? FBI shooter guy?
(This post is supposed to be in jest. Please don't get serious about this).

Dumb people live everywhere my dude. We had fellow Michigan residents plotting to kill the Governor. Glass houses.
August 12th, 2022 at 11:24 AM ^
... and Ted Kacynski went to Michigan.
August 12th, 2022 at 12:23 PM ^
kaczinski was also subjected to electrical brain experiments in attempt to change personality, by our government, while at harvard...and it will never be in the public realm.
August 12th, 2022 at 12:29 PM ^
It is in the public realm...

August 12th, 2022 at 12:42 PM ^
a) that didn't happen. he volunteered for a 3 year long study where he was emotionally abused. no electroshock or electrical "brain experiments" occurred, per kaczinski himself.
b) also per kaczinski himself, "I am quite confident that the experiences with Professor Murray had no significant effect on the course of my life"
y'all make up the most hilarious, easily disproven stuff and type it out with conviction like it's fact
August 12th, 2022 at 12:47 PM ^
I took OldSchoolWolverine's comment as a joke. It was a joke, right? Please tell me it was a joke.
August 12th, 2022 at 1:34 PM ^
OSW went off the rails with COVIDiocy a few days ago. He's reasonable on football and some other topics but has ... tendencies.
August 12th, 2022 at 2:50 PM ^
I'm not sure a quote from Kaczinski about what did or didn't effect the course of his life should be a data point in any argument. Now, your first point probably sums up all you need to prove your point, but as a Montanan, anyone who chooses to live in Lincoln should have their opinions on their own psyche taken with a big grain of salt.
August 12th, 2022 at 4:20 PM ^
It’s very much in the public realm, and experts widely doubt the experiment had a major impact on Ted. See the recent podcast Project Unabomb, for one.
August 12th, 2022 at 11:48 PM ^
Is he related to Manbearpig?
August 12th, 2022 at 12:32 PM ^
Herman Webster Mudgett aka H.H. Holmes, American's first serial killer, also attended our beloved U of Michigan. H.H. Homes also attended the University of Vermont, a school I hold two degrees from so...yeah.
August 12th, 2022 at 12:57 PM ^
Yeah, that Vermont. It's a sketchy state. All that green shit and mountain stuff.
Taking one son on a tour of NE colleges, I saw we were near the U of Vermont so I steered us through town. When we got to campus, I asked if he wanted to take a break from driving, get out, look around. Nope. Not interested at all. (I thought him at Vermont would have been cool.)
August 12th, 2022 at 4:30 PM ^
Highly recommend Devil in the White City if anyone is into true crime stuff.
August 12th, 2022 at 4:32 PM ^
I'm a huge fan of that book.
August 12th, 2022 at 12:47 PM ^
So Michigan's list?
1. Dr. Anderson
2. Unabomber
3. Ann Coulter
4. Madonna
August 12th, 2022 at 2:09 PM ^
LOL @ Ann Coulter and Madonna.
August 12th, 2022 at 4:16 PM ^
Yeah. I don’t understand the negative connotations regarding Madonna. It could be argued she’s one of the most influential musicians of her time. Much of what you see in pop music today, she revolutionized.
And if you want to throw shade at Ohio just bring up Warren Harding, Teapot Dome, and the overall Ohio Gang. There’s a reason there hasn’t been a president from Ohio since. Not some dipshit who shot a nail gun into FBI headquarters.
August 12th, 2022 at 4:31 PM ^
There are plenty of very influential musicians who turned out to be idiots. Eric Clapton and Roger Waters are cases in point.
August 12th, 2022 at 4:21 PM ^
Dave Portnoy.
August 12th, 2022 at 5:32 PM ^
+1 = Madonna.....
August 12th, 2022 at 5:28 PM ^
When Ted Kacynski was arrested they published his 257 books and listed his [4] favorite books. I was reading two of them. The Greening of America and some other book that was similar to it. It was around that time that I decided to get a real job....
August 12th, 2022 at 11:27 AM ^
user name not checking out. NFG usually means 'not f*&^%*g guilty', and that was exactly the verdict rendered in that case. the retrial of the other two is happening now, but knowing the details of the case as i do, i like the defense's cards better than the government's.
August 12th, 2022 at 11:36 AM ^
Well his avatar looks like Dantonio which would make his username to likely mean: Not Fucking Good.
August 12th, 2022 at 12:22 PM ^
funny, i always thought it was rich rod.
August 12th, 2022 at 12:29 PM ^
It’s him during his deposition.
August 12th, 2022 at 1:03 PM ^
Clearly XM just didn't know the details of the Mork deposition so you can't really fault him
August 12th, 2022 at 1:24 PM ^
People downvoting because of the acquittals, lol.
August 12th, 2022 at 1:56 PM ^
If it's not checking out? Need to run OP for priors... 😉
August 23rd, 2022 at 1:12 PM ^
How do you like those cards now?
August 12th, 2022 at 12:22 PM ^
You mean F.B.I. agents
August 12th, 2022 at 1:38 PM ^
"The FBI said its informants operated independently, unaware of each other’s identities. But audio recordings show they colluded to produce the evidence the FBI wanted."
Yeah, checks out
August 12th, 2022 at 1:56 PM ^
Uh no. The FBI set them up and made the plot and coerced them into it via a variety of means.
Do your research.

Jesus. You fucking conspiracy nuts.
August 15th, 2022 at 1:01 PM ^
"The FBI said its informants operated independently, unaware of each other’s identities. But audio recordings show they colluded to produce the evidence the FBI wanted."
"A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell him nothing, even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents and pictures. ...he will refuse to believe it... That's the tragedy of the situation of demoralization"
Guess which one of us Yuri Bezmenov is describing in this quote.
August 12th, 2022 at 2:10 PM ^
The FBI created the Whitmer kidnapping case using agents to prompt others to conspire to kidnap Whitmer.
Mlive reported the story- https://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/2022/04/gov-whitmer-kidnap-case-crashes-conspiracy-that-just-never-was-attorney-says.html
August 12th, 2022 at 4:23 PM ^
that theme is actually true. one instance: they picked up one defendant in his home state without telling him where they were going. 5 people in the car - the defendant, two undercover FBI agents and two snitches. they get to michigan. defendant promptly gets a ride back to his home state without engaging in any funny business. the gov't was trying to get him for 'crossing state lines' in this endeavor.
the gov't lost the first two verdicts. remains to be seen on these next two which are being retried. fwiw, i'm not vouching for the defendants who is/are/were idiots of the highest order, i'm merely stating facts that two weren't guilty of criminal offenses and the gov't grossly overreached and was patently dishonest in it's attempts to get them.
August 12th, 2022 at 11:21 AM ^
the Unabomber went ther...oh wait. Never mind.
August 12th, 2022 at 11:22 AM ^
and Richard Loeb too.
Wait, what?
August 12th, 2022 at 11:27 AM ^
same thing with Leo Kelly Jr...oh, f@ck....
August 12th, 2022 at 12:05 PM ^
Don’t forget Papa Doc.
August 12th, 2022 at 5:52 PM ^
Fuck Baby Doc too. Both were just awful.
August 12th, 2022 at 12:26 PM ^
Have to think if he went to OSU he wouldn’t have ended up being the unabomber
August 12th, 2022 at 11:22 AM ^
HH Holmes >>> OSU badguys
August 12th, 2022 at 2:51 PM ^
yep, this.
August 12th, 2022 at 5:33 PM ^
Not going to spoil it, but the American Ripper new docuseries on Hulu is a good watch.
August 12th, 2022 at 10:15 PM ^
Have you read anything about Jim Jordan?
August 12th, 2022 at 11:24 AM ^
Zach Smith!
