The worms should've finished off that SOB's worthless carcass a long time ago.

He is in a league with Charles Manson.

It is a national disgrace that this guy is still living.
I remember the panic he instilled in Southern Californians during his murder spree. One of his murders took place within a block of my home.
It was a hot summer. In those days many in the area didn't have great air-conditioning. At night, they cracked the windows for a little comfort.
The night this guy hit near our house, my wife thought she heard someone trying our windows. Instead the guy broke into the house of an elderly couple and literally slaughtered them. There was blood all over their home.
Just let the public have this guy, they'll know what to do even if our officials can't figure it out.

Yep, I was living in San Francisco at the time, feeling pretty safe, when suddenly he showed up in my neighborhood and slaughtered an elderly Chinese couple. This guy's a demon straight out of hell if there ever was one.

McVeigh was executed before the ink dried. Sure seems like someone wanted him dead and dead fast.

"McVeigh was executed before the ink dried. Sure seems like someone wanted him dead and dead fast."
That's because he gave up on his appeals.

Have a good rot, Dick.
And, hey, don't forget who's waiting for you when you finally check out.

I lived in LA at the time.The people who caught him should have finished him off.

What a brush with fate, its a shame this guy wasn't stopped in his tracks earlier in his career. Sad that your neighbors weren't as lucky.

Hate to say it, but we're pretty close to agreement on that.

It was something that was very difficult for the children of the old couple to deal with. The house finally sold about five years later, as I recall.

That gives me the shivers. I can't believe he's still alive. What good is voting for a death sentence when the criminals will die of old age?
To: nickcarraway
Ramirez, who is now 46 and on death row at San Quentin State Prison, was sentenced to die for the crimes after a high-profile trial. THIS IS NOT JUSTICE.
The British had absolutely the right sense of things. A quick trial, a quick appeal, to be quickly followed by a swift execution. This, and ONLY this, has been PROVEN to be a complete and total deterrent to violent crime.

The Brits? So did "we", at one time. The classic case, the fellow who tried to shoot president-elect Roosevelt in 1932. He did shoot Mayor "Tony" Cermak, of Chicago, who lingered for a couple weeks before dying. The perp was tried and convicted, midstream for murder, and sentenced to death, executed - in less than a month.

Read a book about him. Scary stuff. The people who caught him were almost all Mexican, and they hated him because he, being Mexican, had caused them a lot of grief. He was, IIRC, rescued by the police, or they might have killed him. The woman referenced in the article who had her eyes gouged out actually had Ramirez, as she got to a shotgun and tried to shoot him. Unfortunately, her husband had unloaded the shotgun because their grandchildren were visiting. Ramirez shot the husband in the head while he was asleep. According to the book, Ramirez got a lot of fan mail, particuarly from women. Many sent him nude photos, one of herself nude laying in a casket. Some had fantasies of helping him commit murders, others of being murdered by him.
The book went into some detail about some of the things he did, and they were evil beyond belief. I won't recount them here.
By the way, the police had gotten some footprints from some homes Ramirez had broken into. It was their first break in the case. Dianne Feinstein, then mayor of San Francisco, held a press conference and revealed this information. Ramirez dumped the shoes.
