Léon Rom, Serial Killer?

[edit]

The racism, the liking to kill, the keeping bodyparts around, his racist manifesto - was Léon Rom a psychopathic serial killer? MrSativa (talk) 05:13, 30 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Head trophies

[edit]

Is there a term for this practice? It was also used by Humphrey Gilbert in Ireland centuries before this. Shtove (talk) 19:15, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Widespread "Central African Tribal Custom" claim

[edit]

Is there any evidence of head display being a ..."Central African tribal custom at the close of the 19th century?" The source being used to promote that line is from a literary academic who, from the looks of it, does not specialize in African affairs. I don't have access to the book in question from Peter Edgerly Firchow but I think that claim should be interrogated. I think that Rom's level of depravity does not at all fit with "Central African tribal custom." Littledansonman (talk) 16:17, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
