Spurius Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 MEXICO CITY, Mexico (AP) -- "One of history's most infamous murder weapons, the ice pick used to kill Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky, has apparently resurfaced after being lost for decades. "The revelation comes just weeks before the 65th anniversary of Trotsky's assassination on August 20, 1940. "But tests that could prove the weapon's authenticity have been delayed by a dispute between the ice pick's owner, who is shopping it around, and Trotsky's descendants, who want it donated to a revolutionary museum -- proving that the struggle between socialist ideals and capitalism is continuing." The full article is here. Ah, the clash between capitalist pigs and murderous communists goes on.... This pick could be one of the few objects that we can definitely tie to a dramatic and important point in history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastman456 Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 This would be a first. Last time I checked, murder weapons didn't belong to the family of the victim unless it was already theirs, but even so, they didn't usually want it. I'm sure that they could probably just go out to the local store and get their own ice pick. They're probably really common in that area.
