Richard McCroskey, Horrorcore Rapper, Admits to Killing Attempted Girlfriend, 3 Others

[QUOTE] Richard McCroskey was a classic loser from Castro Valley, California. The 20-year-old was a high school drop out who largely secluded himself to his room, where his only friends were on the internet. He went by the name "Syko Sam," fancying himself as a horrorcore rapper...
It's a genre big on mutilation and mayhem, and it allowed him to meet a fellow fan, 16-year-old Emma Niederbrock, over the internet.
The two became engaged in an online romance. In September of last year, McCroskey flew to Emma's home in Farmville, Virginia. Along with her friend Melanie Wells and her mother Debra Kelley, a professor of criminal just at Longview University, they traveled to Michigan to see a horrorcore festival.

​Emma Niederbrock and Melanie Wells had their heads crushed with a maul as they slept
But like most online romances, this would end poorly. What began with Emma's professions of love prior to McCroskey's arrival quickly devolved to something a whole lot less. It seems Emma wasn't as impressed by the live version of McCroskey as she was by the online model.
They got into an argument at the show. By the time they returned to Virginia, Emma was no longer gushing over her California suitor. McCroskey was pissed. He was expecting Emma to be his one and only woman.
So on September 15 at 3 a.m., he went outside to cool off. That's where he found a wood-splitting maul, which is basically a hammer the size of an ax.
He went back into the house and and beat Melanie Wells in the head as she lay sleeping on a couch. Then he went upstairs to kill Debra Kelley in her study. He finally finished off the trio by crushing Emma's skull as she slept in her bedroom.
He would hang around the home for another two days until Emma's father, Presbyterian pastor Mark Niederbrock, came by for a visit. He was estranged from Kelley. When he arrived at the door, McCroskey ambushed him, beating him to death with the maul as well.
McCroskey was later arrested at the Richmond airport as he waited to catch a flight back home.
He was expected to fight the murder charges. But this week he instead pleaded guilty the the murders, trading his plea for a life sentence. Fittingly, none of his relatives bothered to show for the sentencing. [/QUOTE]
Wat.
I don't think anybody has ever heard of him. Even the article says he's nobody
He must have been hammered to make such outrageous decisions.

''It's a genre big on mutilation and mayhem''
This is really sad. But after reading the article, I couldn't stop thinking about [I]hammer smashed face[/I]. Metalheads will probably know what I'm talking about.
pretty poorly written article if you ask me
An online romance and she lived in Farmville.
Attempted girlfriend?
the fuck is horrorcore
Try googling your questions before you post the same fucking thing everybody else did.
ICP is horrorcore. That's all you need to know.
Deja vu? I think this was here before, or it was another shitty written article about a similar case.

He made them suffer.
If the genre is retarded, the listeners probably are too
I read the article in utter disgust.

I think this newspaper didn't get the memo that scare-reporting about rap music isn't cool anymore. They should have said he was a gamer.
God damn this guy has problems

This is the only good post in this thread.
Seriously though what a goddamn psycho. Horrorcore is as terrible an excuse for music as this guy is for manhood.

wait actually it is exactly like ICP
good, a life sentence, now he can end up like that guy who wrote the "just got out of prison after two years" thread (yes, I know it was copied from another site) except that A, he will never get out, and B, since technically he's a childkiller he's gonna be ESPECIALLY buttraped and beaten
The girl with the pink hair is really cute, what a goddamn shame
[QUOTE=Doriol;24966019]Attempted girlfriend?[/QUOTE]
I have a lot of attempted girlfriends, but I failed miserably.
Richaard McCroskey is awesome, he killed those guys and all, but he's still a fucking amazing musician.
Peace.
Weird. We were talking about this in film class. Why this was brought up I don't (want to) know.

It was actually an attempt to make a pun due to the fact that he killed his victims with hammers, but nobody noticed :Dawkins102:
