Norris and Lawrence Sigmond Bittaker kidnapped, raped, tortured and murdered five girls in 1979. Their nickname came from the tools like a screwdriver, pliers and an ice pick that they used on their victims.


Enjoy hell.

So the monster got 40 years of living at taxpayer expense.

Ridiculous.

Good. He shouldn’t have lived as long as he did.

Waaaay too much money spent on people who don’t deserve a tax payer dime. Should have sent him on his merry way 40 years ago.

Good riddance. I read an ebook about these two last year, they were absolutely evil.

He should have been put to death immediately. I remember those killings. Actually, it’s almost surprising that he got much of a sentence at all, because at that point, a loony could rape and kill an entire town’s worth of women and children and it was just their misfortune to be in the way of this poor, misunderstood boy. In fact, it was probably their fault that they existed in the first place to tempt him.

It was on the level with NYC’s current “no bad criminals” approach. Gee Officer Krupke...I’m not bad, I’m just misunderstood. Or whatever the lyrics were (West Side Story).

They should have been tortured to death, and their corpses fed to wild beasts. At the least they should have been executed, and swiftly. There are two sides to a coin and there are two sides to murder: Heads: you kill the victim; they are dead. Tails: You are alive, and you live on to gloat and enjoy your escape from justice. A judge, a jury, or a society that does not kill wanton murderers is an accessory and an accomplice in their crimes. The King of the Universe is outraged at this. Every single official who has had a hand in the suppression of Justice will one day be held accountable for their actions and face the awful wrath of the Almighty. How horrible for them. We need to examine ourselves, and make sure that we have no part with those who walk in defiance of the Torah, for the Law of G-d is life.

Libs have no problem at all slaughtering millions upon millions of innocent babes, yet will fight to the death to keep evil monsters safe and comfortable their whole lives.

Rot in hell. One of the victims was a girl I met through another friend, we were beach kids in So Cal back then. She was hitching to her friends house when they picked her up. I feel sick to my stomach each time the October anniversary of her death rolls around.

The people who run the American Jesters System pull this kind of stuff to mock the peasants.

Or Hillary's "I did not intend to kill them" excuse even though she knowingly broke eleven US Codes under federal law involving the misuse of her emails as Secretary of State.

Roy Lewis Norris

https://www.sfgate.com/news/crime/article/Tool-Box-Killer-who-preyed-on-teenagers-dies-in-15083104.php

The killings began in June 1979, with the death of Lucinda Lynn Schaefer, 16. She was followed by Andrea Joy Hall, 18; Jacqueline Doris Gilliam, 15; Jacqueline Leah Lamp, 13, and Shirley Lynette Ledford, 16.

Norris testified against Bittaker after pleading guilty to all charges in exchange for prosecutors not seeking the death penalty against him. He was sentenced to 45 years to life in prison.

A Los Angeles jury convicted Bittaker of five counts of murder, five counts of kidnapping as well as other charges including criminal conspiracy, rape and sodomy.

Bittaker, who was sentenced to death in 1981, died Dec. 13 at San Quentin State Prison of natural causes. He was 79.

Because of various legal challenges and court decisions, California has not executed anyone in years, and last year Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a moratorium on executions for as long as he is in office.

These murders were horrible, but being killed by stuff out of a tool box?

Why is it liberals are only pro-life in protecting the scum of the earth, murderers and rapists?
