Insanity: Wash. State Came One Vote Away From Releasing Green River Serial Killer So He Wouldn't Get Wuhan Virus pjmedia.com/trending/insan… #NewsandPolitics via @pjmedia_com
While innocents are locked in their homes hiding from "the invisible enemy," as President Trump calls it, county sheriffs, prison overseers, and governors have been busy freeing convicted criminals to stop them from getting the coronavirus.
The rogue's gallery of convicts is a justice reformer's dream. @LACoSheriff Alex Villanueva bragged he let prisoners out of his jail before he was even asked by the ACLU and other groups – this while he shut down gun stores so people could not buy guns to protect themselves.
But nothing is more, — what's the word for it? — ah, yes – INSANE – than what Washington State prison reformers nearly succeeded in doing last week.
The man we now know as the Green River Killer, Gary Ridgeway, was sent to prison for more than 500 years.
The man we now know as the Green River Killer, Gary Ridgeway, was sent to prison for more than 500 years.
He was convicted of 49 murders of prostitutes, girls on the streets and vulnerable runaways, but he was suspected of committing 71 murders in the 1970s, '80s and '90s.
He would take the women and girls, have sex with them, and then strangle them, watching the light go out of their eyes as he squeezed the life out of them. Sometimes he'd use a rope and sometimes he'd use his bare hands.
He'd pose their bodies and sometimes come back and have sex with the corpses.
Among the killers to possibly be released, besides the Green River Killer, was Isaac Zamora, a multiple-murderer who went on a shooting rampage and killed five people. He's serving a life sentence, whatever that means anymore.
On Thursday, the Washington State Supreme Court ruled that those "really bad people," including The Green River Killer, would face the coronavirus locked up like everyone else in the country.
The vote was 5-4. That means four members of the Washington State Supreme Court were ready to empty the state prisons of 2/3 of the prisoners, including Gary Ridgeway.
