Subject: Night Prowler

Written By: Fred on 05/04/03 at 04:57 p.m.

Back in the  80's there was a killer going around L.A. and killing people.

This may seem normal for L.A., but I remeber news reports saying that his killing's were fueled by music.
One song in particular: Night Prowler by AC/DC.
I forgot what he called himself. Night Stalker or something?

Does anyone else remember this?

  Yup, sure do.  Richard Ramirez, aka, Night Stalker.  Had the whole state paranoid.

  By the way, "Night Prowler" is a good song. ;)

Great article on Ramirez here. That his killings were fuelled by AC/DC's music was a media beat-up. He wasn't inspired by that or any other song anymore than the Son of Sam was really possessed by a dog. He was just mad.

He was not inspired to kill by AC/DC....gosh the media really p!sses me off sometimes!  He says he was Satanic hence the pentagrams on his palms & screaming "Hail Satan" during his trial.  I did some research on him years ago for a profiling study on serial killers & many people believe that he used "Satanism" hoping to get off on a insanity plea, but it didn't seem to work...obviously...he was found guilty on all 13 counts.

You know what else is sick?  Before he got married in prison in 1996, apparantly he has thousands - THOUSANDS of women writing to him!!!  Same goes for Jeffrey Dahmer too, he had a "harem" of female pen pals during his short prison stay...funny thing is though....he preferred men.  Whats up with that?  :-/

OK, enough of my ranting  ::)
