Back in 1972, a monster by the name of Christopher Evans Hubbart committed a series of violent rapes in Los Angeles County in California. He became known as the "Pillowcase Rapist" because he would use a pillowcase to gag his victims while he assaulted them. Thankfully, he was finally identified and captured, being sent to a mental institution where he was held for seven years. In 1979 he was released and moved to the San Francisco area where he immediately restarted his crime spree until he was captured once again in 1982. By then he had confessed to raping a total of 38 women over the past decade. He was committed yet again until he was released for a few years in 2014, being locked up once more in 2017. Now, the California Department of State Hospitals is pushing to have Hubbart released once more into a small community in the High Desert. Will the state never learn its lesson about this cretin? (CBS News)
A Los Angeles County supervisor urged her constituents to speak up after California announced a proposal to release a convicted serial sexual predator, dubbed the "Pillowcase Rapist," to a neighborhood in the High Desert.
"Our Juniper Hills, Pearblossom, and the Antelope Valley residents at large have every right to voice their concerns about this predator's placement in their community," Supervisor Kathryn Barger said.
The Department of State Hospitals proposed to house convicted rapist Christopher Evans Hubbart in a remote community near Devil's Punchbowl, a state park about 16 miles southeast of Palmdale.
"While I understand that the state performs a comprehensive study and assessment before proposing a site, nothing takes the place of the real-world perspectives that only community members can offer," Barger said.
I'm aware that all of the "criminal justice reform" people, particularly in California are very big on the idea of rehabilitation instead of incarceration. And in some cases, people who follow the wrong path in life can get into trouble and then see the light and go on to lead productive lives. That's great for them, provided we keep a close eye on them for a while. But that is hardly the case with Christopher Hubbart.
First of all, how is it that Hubbart kept being sent to mental hospitals? Perhaps after the first arrest, it might have been justifiable, although he was never guilty of one-off cases of bad judgment. They call him a "serial rapist" for a reason. He raped more than three dozen women when he was on the loose How many second chances is a person supposed to get after racking up a track record such as that? Getting caught and being sent to a hospital obviously didn't rehabilitate him in the slightest. What of the families of the 38 women whose lives he ruined forever? Don't they deserve some form of justice? Hubbart isn't the victim in any of this. The women were.
Now they want to release him yet again and ship him out to a remote community near Devil's Punchbowl. (What an appropriate name in this case, right?) What if he keeps his head down for a while and then returns to his old habits? What will the criminal justice reform advocates in the state government say to his next victim, assuming she is lucky enough to survive? We're talking about the communities of Juniper Hills, Pearblossom, and the Antelope Valley. These are small communities without a large police presence and relatively low crime rates by California standards. The state is talking about setting a fox loose in the chicken coop and the fox in this case is a known bad actor with a rap sheet as long as your arm.
Some people are simply not fixable. And even if they are, they do not merit any sort of trust or a "third chance" once they are proven to be monsters. Sometimes you simply have to throw the book at the worst of the worst, if only to send a crystal clear message to others who might contemplate the same thing. This monster doesn't belong in a hospital. He belongs in a cell in a maximum security facility and he needs to stay there until the end of his days when we can trust in God to sort the matter out once and for all. If this guy is released, don't be shocked or offended if some citizens show up in short order with some vigilante justice on their minds.
He can go to work for Kammie. He’s just her type.
Christopher Evans Hubbart = 62 years old.
Still young enough for a backpacking trip in a remote desert area ... be a shame if the heat, coyotes, and dehydration got to him ...
He can go to work for Kammie. He’s just her type.
Bet he has a willin' willie.
If he is 62, he started at the age of 10.
The last cop that caught him should have shot him.

He started when he was 10 years old?
I saw a source that said he was born in 1951.
Castration would be the appropriate solution. Then instead of raping women he’ll spend most of his time watching the Hallmark Channel , Lifetime and The View.
I suppose release might work, if you could find something like a dog’s shock collar for his johnson.
If it was my family member, I would be urging for his release. Things happen.
EC
Why not?
He needs to be out to vote...
That seems bad math to me.
1972 is 52 years ago.
He must have been at least 18 in 1972, which puts him north of 70.
So what? He violently raped 40 women and it’s possible the number is more like 100 but because of his age he should get out ?
So many options. Garden shears. Chainsaw. Machete. Can’t repeat if he doesn’t have the meat.
He needs some Pew Pew Pew PEWWWW therapy.
This sicko is probably at least 75 years old and probably in bad health.
I think prisons do this a lot in that they release seriously ill inmates so they don’t have to treat them. So if that’s the case and if this SOB dies alone in the streets, it will probably save the state a few hundred thousand dollars.
You’re right. I’m wrong.
I searched for “Christopher Evans Hubbart age” and it came up with “62”. I did the search again and noticed that it was an article from 2013.
I wasn’t suggesting that he should be released. I support the death penalty for somebody so harmful and obviously irredeemable.
