Too bad there wasn’t a real life Dirty Harry to shoot the SOB.

Maybe Dirty Harry can meet him at the prison gates when he is released.

Leftists are always condemning the death penalty and its supporters as “inhumane” and tell us that a life sentence would serve justice.

Now this.

Hopefully he’s buried alive and dies before he turns 71.

Why don’t they just give him the key to the city and name an elementary school after him while they’re at it?

“a scheme apparently inspired by a plot point in the movie “Dirty Harry.”

I’ve never heard that “Dirty Harry” inspired the scheme. I thought it was “The Day the Children Vanished”.

From the creative mind of Hugh Pentecost comes a terrifying and prophetic novel that potentially influenced the Chowchilla kidnapping in 1976. The Day the Children Vanished is not for the faint of heart, as readers are taken down the rabbit hole of the mysterious disappearance of nine children, the school bus they rode on, and its driver.

I remember exactly where I was when I heard of the Chowchilla kidnapping. I was working in a restaurant kitchen and heard the report on the radio, and immediately thought of the story, and told some people there about it.

I remember reading this in my mother’s readers digest back in the day. Crazy story.

After 16 hours underground, the driver and the children dug themselves out and escaped as the kidnappers were asleep.

Glad they were able to escape. I'd never heard about this before.

One of the other kidnappers was freed in 2015. The bus driver is deceased.

“...placed into a moving truck and buried alive in a quarry owned by Woods’ father.”

These writers are idiots.

They weren’t buried alive..

The truck had been buried to use as a place to hide them.

It had ventilation, mattresses and food.

The bus driver and boys were able to escape using the mattresses to stand on in a stack and push the cover off and get out.

These guys were so dumb they hadn’t even been able to make their ransom demand before they escaped.

“They [the kidnappers] went to sleep at some point on July 16 and woke late that night to television news reports informing them that the victims had freed themselves and were safe.”
