Kill all the on lookers as well. If you were to do nothing you're guilty. To watch and take photos makes you just as guilty. I hope everyone of them gets an incurable disease as dies a horrible death.

How can a person stand around and not only watch that but take pics? Kill the whole friggin lot of them as cheaply and painfully as possible.

Now if we can just get that express lane on Death Row. Sadly, the pussification of our country will probably just let these monsters be rehabbed and let back out.

 

And the pussification of the country isn't Obama or W. As a whole we fail.

I worked in Richmond for 10 years and had to drive through some of the worst areas daily. Talk about dirtbags this city has all of them we refer to it as the little brother of Oakland. All these idiots running around killing each other and doing unspeakable acts like this. It is no surprise to me that this happened here as it is loaded with scumbag morans. A bunch of young punks in gangs who are stupid and don't give a poop. Just hideous!

[BeeR]

I live here. What you all said times 100 at least.

 

But frankly it's just another day in Richmond, who annually are one of the nation's leaders in violent crime (ie on per-person basis). Sad, because Richmond COULD be a nice place to live - tons of history, good location near a lot of things etc. But the ghetto element is unbelievably strong - course not exactly helping is the bleeding hearts bury their heads about it all and/or keep the almighty race card handy to whip out like a 6-shooter at the blink of an eye (as bleeding hearts do so well) so the emboldened ghetto element continue on. (Hey SCP I know people who worked downtown and said it also wasn't exactly rare for the losers as pedestrians to walk (slowly) right in front of cars and nowhere near a crosswalk, then pitch a fit if you dared to not all but stop completely or honked your horn or anything. I experienced a time or 2 myself - you get that much?)

 

Anyway, go ahead Richmond, girl gets gang raped and TWENTYish people stand around either joining in or taking pictures, so.......throw up a few lights in that area and teach a "be nice" class. That'll help. Oh maybe slap a few wrists, but careful, don't profile blah blah blah. Everything will be fine.

 

There isn't a freakin smiley near disgusted looking enough to use here.

Rapes of Elderly Women Terrify Texas Towns Updated: 3 hours 23 minutes ago

AP YOAKUM, Texas (Jan. 18) -- With a serial rapist on the loose, Cassandra McGinty has developed a new routine when she arrives home: search room to room, a handgun or stun gun drawn.

 

The predator has been assaulting older women in central Texas over the past year, terrifying residents and frustrating investigators who have only a vague description of the suspect.

 

Pepper spray has been flying off the shelves in the towns where the attacks have occurred, and McGinty said her landlord in Marquez handed out stun guns as Christmas gifts. Nearly 200 miles away in Yoakum, elderly volunteers at the local museum have been locking its doors during business hours.

 

"I used to think I was too old for anybody to mess with," said McGinty, 55. "I can't say that anymore."

An elderly woman was attacked at Jennings Retirement Village in Luling, Texas. Authorities are investigating eight rapes across southern and central Texas.

Beginning with the rape of a 65-year-old woman in Yoakum last January, authorities have linked eight sexual assaults or attempted sexual assaults to the suspect, who has been dubbed the "Twilight Rapist" because most of the attacks occurred around dawn. They also believe he robbed or attempted to rob four other women.

 

The victims have all been women, ranging in age from 65 to 91. One rape victim played piano at her church on Sundays. An 81-year-old woman scared off an intruder with a gun, firing several rounds for good measure. A 66-year-old woman was attacked twice, despite having moved across town following the first assault.

 

The attacks occurred in seven rural towns, the largest of which has 6,000 residents.

 

Two women were attacked - one of them twice - in Yoakum, a quiet town surrounded by wide-open ranches about 100 miles east of San Antonio.

 

"It does make me sick," Yoakum Police Chief Arthur Rogers said. "We all take it personal. We all visualize this could have been my mother or my grandmother."

 

Mela Walker, who has a ranch in nearby Cuero, organized a community meeting last spring after the Yoakum attacks and handed out pepper spray as a door prize for the nearly 300 people who showed up.

 

"They're freaked out," Walker said. "These elderly women are buying Mace and not knowing how to use it. They talk about buying guns, and they don't know how to use guns."

 

Authorities say the attacks appear to have been planned - phone lines were cut and porch lights were unscrewed outside some of the victims' homes. All the victims lived alone, and one had more than $10,000 stolen.

 

Yoakum residents say the two victims there had predictable routines that made them easy targets.

 

"Nobody opens the door for nobody anymore," said Armiro Gomez, 57, who lives across the street from one of the Yoakum victims. "After midnight, people have no rights to be walking the streets anymore."

 

Just across the interstate in Luling, where the last attack occurred in November, a neighbor said it's no coincidence the victim was the only woman in his retirement village with a job.

 

A year into the case there is still no sketch of the suspect, only a vague description of a thin, young and dark-skinned man who is between 5½- and 6-feet tall. Authorities wrongly arrested one man early in their investigation, and he has since sued over it.

 

The assailant left behind DNA and other forensic evidence after some attacks, but authorities have not been able to link the DNA to anything in the state system, said Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Tom Vinger. In addition to the difficult task of investigating attacks that happened as far as 200 miles from each other, authorities have found that some victims don't have the best memories.

 

"The fact that he is targeting elderly woman at night does make it a little more difficult (to investigate)," Vinger said. "It's a traumatic situation for any age. It's even potentially more traumatic for the elderly."

 

Walker said a year since the first attack, the fear in Yoakum hasn't waned. Last week, volunteers took down Christmas decorations inside the Yoakum Heritage Museum.

 

It was the middle of the morning, but the doors were locked. Visitors were let in, one by one, and the door locked behind them.

 

"These are frail, elderly women. Tiny little things," Walker said. "You just can't imagine why anyone would want to take advantage of them

Yes all the time. And just an excuse for them to fight someone or be punks just for poops and giggles. I don't work there anymore but my brother does and have a few friends that still live there and say it is getting worse by the day. Just sad.

I cant think of too much(if anything) that is more despicable or chicken-sh*t than taking advantage of or harming elderly people. I really struggle to get my mind around the fact that there are sick twists like this living among us

 

The acts chronicled in this thread make me think of this line...

 

Sometimes I wonder... will God ever forgive us for what we've done to each other? Then I look around and I realize... God left this place a long time ago.

Yes it is and they have my sympathies. At least I'm way in west end where it's not as bad (but hardly immune). Why any respectable human being would want to live anywhere even remotely near the fan/etc I can't imagine.

 

wait oops I mean uh don't profile you stinkin racist.
