Tommy Jay says, “It is particularly bad when this type of crime is perpetrated by someone with law enforcement training.”

That reminded me of Joseph James DeAngelo, aka the Golden State Killer. He started out in 1974 as a house burglar who was nicknamed the Visalia Ransacker. He then committed at least 50 rapes between 1976 and 1979, and was called the East Area Rapist, or EAR. DeAngelo was employed as a police officer with two different departments from 1973 to 1979, when he was fired for shoplifting. He had earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice in 1971 from Sacramento State University. The dates of his early crimes indicate that he was committing burglaries and rapes while working as a cop for his “day job.”

After being fired as a police officer, DeAngelo began a series of murders in southern California between 1979 and 1986 that earned him the nickname of the Original Night Stalker or ONS. After DNA testing began to be widely used in California after 2001, the EAR cases and the ONS were linked to a single perp, who was then called EARONS. After the FBI announced a reward and new information about the criminal renamed the Golden State Killer in 2016, DeAngelo was caught by the use of forensic genetic genealogy in 2018.

Detectives had long suspected that the man they were seeking had police training of some sort because he clearly knew surveillance techniques in selecting his victims as well scouting out escape routes before he struck.

In some ways LE people fear knives more than guns because they often create much-less-survivable wounds. God bless these little children, and erase their horrors.

That’s very sad news, and here is the first place I’ve heard of it! It didn’t come up on my apple news stories or on my social media… not yet, at least, but usually stories like this are like wildfire.

It is particularly bad when this type of crime is perpetrated by someone with law enforcement training. Omar Mateen has some such training. By “bad” I primarily mean that they can be much more deadly.

Utterly evil, and horrifying to say the least. And I still have to wonder why.

Knives seem to be increasingly popular among the deranged: earlier today, a guy who claimed he is a chef stabbed several tourists and Las Vegas showgirls who were having their pictures taken with the tourists. Two of the women have died, and three other victims are in critical condition. A violent stabbing attack left two peole [sic] dead and at least six others injured in Las Vegas Thursday. Some of the victims were showgirls taking pictures with tourists, bystanders told Fox 5. Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told reporters on the scene there had been eight victims; two who had died and three who were in critical condition in hospital. He added a suspect was in custody and a kitchen knife had been recovered from the scene.

No word so far about drugs being involved but it’s a developing story.

So a psychologically damaged meth head decides to kill. He is drawn to a daycare instead of something else. Just random? Easy targets? Greater psychological horror?
Hard to think practically anyplace with vulnerable people needs an armed guard, but….
