#40yearsagotoday, Richard Ramirez, also known as The Night Stalker of LA, was captured after residents of an East Los Angeles neighborhood recognized him from the front page of a Spanish-language newspaper. A crowd gave chase after Ramirez attempted a carjacking, severely beating him #xyearsagotoday
That crowd was not playing!!!
They sure weren't. The police had to rescue *him* from *them.*
A whole serial killer and the community came together to take him down.
That's Community Policing by The Community that works.
I remember that! I was only 8 but that guy terrorized LA.
I will never forget it. Ever.
