A notorious killer on San Quentin’s death row died after being found unconscious in his cell early Thursday, prison officials said.
The Marin County coroner will now work to determine how 55-year-old Gilbert Rubio died after correctional officers found him unresponsive during a security check just after 6 a.m.
Rubio was sentenced to die on Sept. 20, 2000 for the 1998 murder and robbery of high school vice principal George “Skipper” Blackwell in his Long Beach home.

The 8th amendment guarantees a right against cruel and unusual punishment.
So it would have been better to have him appear immediately before a firing squad or be subjected to lethal injection.
Oh, I forgot, the constitution is a joke now.

Do you have an opinion on all that hair on his face? Was he a member of the religion of peace?

God indeed has a sense of humor. Sent the angel of death into this monster’s cell. Good riddance. Hope he screamed.

So what was the ROI thanks to this incidental death?
When was the bum scheduled to die? Did they save lots of money as a result?

With a last name like Rubio, he may have been genetically predisposed to dehydration.

Tried to find a picture of the man he murdered in cold blood for no reason whatsoever, George “Skipper” Blackwell. Nothing.

In CA, if you’re on death row, you’re more likely to die of natural causes than the average Joe out in the community.

My only regret is that he had but one life to give prematurely on death row in California, while 746 remain to mock justice, the People, and the victims.
