California man accused of ramming car into LA crowd is convicted felon out on parole, police say

The suspect accused of driving his car through a crowd of people in Los Angeles is a convicted felon who was out on parole, reports said.

Fernando Ramirez, 29, of San Clemente, is expected to face a felony charge of assault with a deadly weapon following early Saturday’s incident, which left 36 injured outside the Vermont Hollywood nightclub.

Ramirez was convicted of felony battery and sentenced in 2020 for attacking a man outside a Whole Foods grocery store in June 2019, KNBC reported Sunday. He was on parole at the time of Saturday's crash, but it's unclear whether it was in connection with the 2019 attack or another case.

Ramirez has had at least 11 criminal cases ranging from misdemeanors to felonies, KNBC reported. In January 2022, he was charged with felony domestic battery and entered a not guilty plea. That case remains open and he also has a pending DUI case, the station added, citing the Orange County District Attorney's Office.

Los Angeles Police Department Public Information Officer Jeff Lee previously told reporters that the Nissan Versa "became disabled" when the driver plowed into the crowd. Subsequently, the driver was allegedly "pulled out of his vehicle, physically assaulted by the bystanders. And during that altercation, somebody produced a firearm and shot the driver."

As of Monday morning, police were still searching for the suspected shooter, described as a man with a goatee in a blue Dodgers jacket.

I’d allocate scarce resources away from finding the shooter

If he is alive, he wasn’t assaulted enough, it seems.

This guy seeks to kill people.

Yes. May God protect that man.

This is like the first Death Wish in which Paul Kersey couldn’t get anyone to help about the case to find the thugs to raped his daughter and raped and killed his wife at his home.
Then the scene of looking for the vigilante who is correctly making the eunuch police force look ineffective-—with 100 detectives and investigative staff gathering in the squad room.

The people caught the killer in this new case. Police were able to write up reports afterward on their tablets. When they got there.

Wait. Is Greg Norman a reporter or is he the retired golfer? If he's a reporter, why didn't he find out which crime he was paroled for? Or is that all it takes to be a reporter for Fox News? Just cut and paste what you read in a newspaper?

So now they don’t mention that he is an illegal, but I thought that was identified as such a day or two ago.

A success of “Restorative Justice.”

He will be out in 2 weeks. And if he is an illegal alien the same people he ran over will be out rioting against ICE agents.

“...the car became disabled”

We need to provide more protection for disabled cars! Imagine the sufferings of these poor disabled vehicles when they smash into people. People should get out of the way!

The bass turds who put the scumbag on “parole” need to be locked up and finish serving out the sentence for the previous crime.

Another felon let out too soon. This felon probably using the prison system as his retirement. He now gets 3 hots and a cot for quite some time.

Convicted felons should NEVER be paroled under any circumstances. In fact, all provisions for parole should be permanently terminated by an act of Congress.
