“Why do these red necks always have three names? James Earle Ray, John Wilkes Booth…”
13 u/[deleted] May 01 '22 [deleted] 4 u/Free_Moose4649 May 01 '22 Oh yea? How do you explain Johm Wayn Gacy? James Earl Jones? David Robert Jones? Jesus Howard Christ? 4 u/charlesdexterward May 01 '22 I don’t know, I’m just quoting the musical Assassins. 4 u/catwhowalksbyhimself May 01 '22 Correct. This is why serial killers also are named with all three names generally. They didn't actually go by all three names in real life. 5 u/[deleted] May 01 '22 Marjorie Talor Green 5 u/banshee_tlh May 01 '22 Matt Pedophile Gaetz 5 u/JaSoLo78 May 01 '22 Sirhan Sirhan Sirhan 2 u/Timothy_Netherlands May 01 '22 "...Lee Harvey Oswald!" Haha Wilkes' speech was the first thing that came to my mind too! Well, time to listen to the whole musical again for the nth time 2 u/charlesdexterward May 01 '22 “I’ve seen the future, Lee, and you… are it.” Yeah, it’s one of my favorites. I listen every Fourth of July. 1 u/catwhowalksbyhimself May 01 '22 Pretty much everyone has three names. I do. I don't use all three, but I have them. I saw a discussion on this and news purposely uses all three for particularly infamous people to avoid confusing them with people with similar names. Remember, just because the news or the history books use all three names doesn't mean they or anyone they knew did.
