@@ceoatcrystalsoft4942 leaving a relationship is whn women often get killed.
@@ceoatcrystalsoft4942 stop spreading misinformation. Women stay by fear of being killed or to protect their children if they have with their abusers.
Regina Baral- It is called Hybristophilia. I have it. There is just something so intriguing, mysterious and alluring about these guy's. With all due respect, I do not know why it bothers you so much. There is a lid for every pot! So long as these ladies (the condition seems to affect women for the most part) are not hurting anyone, what's it to you? To each his or her own.
@@elisapelaccia1558 I never said it bothered me. It shocked me how these women stay with murderers or say yes to them even after they are proven guilty for their crimes. I never knew about hybristophilia. I wrote this cmt after seeing similarity between many cases. So i am sorry if it bothered you .
@@mississipi1103 Lmao. It's called Stockholm Syndrome, nothing to do with them supposedly trying to protect themselves. No, this is mainly attraction to broken men, a disgusting desire.
Being left in a cemetery for a whole night as a child has to be one of the most horrific thing to happen to anyone ...that just ..is so scary
Nah, tf thats nothing compared to what he did to the child victims who he assalted and brutally murdered.
No I'd say kidnapping young children from their beds at night and violently assaulting them is the most horrific thing to happen to anyone. Which is what Richard Ramirez did to dozens of children.

On a cross. It's no wonder he was worshipping evil.
Anything but funny.
His childhood was horrible for sure. He was traumatized and he decided to traumatize others. Great film 👌kzhead.info/sun/qd6Ckt6lqYOYrKc/bejne.html
He was born February 29th? Am I missing something
He was raised by a father with PTSD and a cousin who committed horrific war crimes. Abused by his father, the child left in the cemetery...among other abuses. Physical injuries. Drugs. Crimes are not justified and innocent victims should always be remembered, but a video like this should teach some important lessons for those people who sometimes just watch and do nothing to help children and people in need.
Yes, it’s sometimes what we don’t do
Doesn't make people sexually violate and murder kids and old people. He is burning in hell.
Exactly! I also believe Richard was s* abused either by that disgusting teacher or a priest while he was an altar boy or by both depraved bastards. Plus, all that trauma, those hits on the head, that stupid cousin... Richard was screaming for help, and no one came to his rescue. He was not born a criminal, and he was not a monster. All that trauma and range combined with the hard drugs and alcohol and Satan himself pushing it drag Richard to do what he did. Richard deserved a chance in life. 💔
My grandfather was a lawyer in la when that happened. He met the night stalker and said that no one scared him, the only person who scared him in his whole life of working with Criminals was the night stalker.

@Boston Patricia I don’t think you’d be saying that if your family was one of his victims this man did some horrific things that the human mind doesn’t even think to do really he was possessed I think
@Boston Patricia I understand that you would want closure but I’ve heard some of his interviews which sent chills down my spine he was not remorseful at all and he basically said he did it for the devil and he doesn’t care about himself or anyone he chose to be evil and to do these horrible things,that man had a lot of evil in him
@Boston Patricia yes seeing his face would have been entertaining haha it’s hard to believe after all of the killing he did,,he was running away like a coward

@Anon ymous that’s stupid comment
Yeah I am not Justifying his killings but damn he was a product of his own environment. He could've been a lot different if he had a decent upbringing.
@Azzir Yeah I know people can still come out good, but It is a statistical certainty that a traumatic childhood will increase the risk of behavorial issues and violence. His sociopathic behavior, was created by his Famly.
That’s why childhood is the most important part of anyone’s life. It can make you or break you
Indeed
I was also abused during my childhood, i was in coma for months idk how my future is gonna be but my childhood was 100 times bad than richard 😂
@@aestheticaura6 So sorry to hear this. I hope you are fine now.
I need a documentary of Doreen, his wife because what women thinks that Ramorez is innocent. She must have had an abusive childhood to believe that this was a normal relationship.
Likeminded people hang in the same circles . Anyone hanging with this guy has the same values and thoughts just may not be as loud about it so yes Doreen has issues. Wives lie all the time as if they didn’t know. They do know
You can have sympathy for Richard Ramirez the Child and not Richard Ramirez the Adult killer. That's why the documentry decided focuses on him as an adult criminal than his childhood not encourage ppl to glamourise him or feel sympathy. Feel sympathy for his victim overall.
I agree

"Serial Killers aren't just born.. There made." -Richard Ramirez in an interview.
💯
They're
He choose to reject God who is only good and worship evil by sin instead and now he is in void of all pleasure. He didn’t want peace, he sought to be touched by Satan and he was. Satan never loved him, he used him to exact revenge on the humans that are made in the image of God. This man wasn’t crazy or confused he choose evil and believed lies he wanted to believe while choosing to reject the truth. All of this killers nightmares will now come to pass as he will eternally be alone void of ALL good and without control. Satan doesn’t get to torture people in the afterlife, he has no control there. However, he is allowed to be the prince of this world, this is, according to scripture, during our lifetime, if we submit and surrender to him, instead of Jesus. See John. Everyone gets a choice as to what god they will serve, some reject only good God while calling their choice of evil god but that will only get them the destination of Hell. Hell isn’t based on our behavior it’s based on who we submit and surrender to. A Christian can struggle with sins from gluttony to even rage while actively turning to God and praying for help and go to heaven as they draw nearer to God forgiven if they truly accept Jesus and repent, but there are other people who genuinely make their own god as they reject Jesus, and choose hell worshiping Satan daily with chosen sinful compromise and a living for self that’s worse than just selfish, it’s evidence of an individual aligned with evil.

Yes I noticed that too
that makes sense like subliminal bias
noticed that too
Makes sense tbh
ohhh never thought of that
Doreen being able to love him is extremely creepy and chilling. Richard, like most psychopaths, had the kind of intense charm that made people like Doreen disbelieve literally every other narrative. Some women hung around him after he was convicted because of the thrill or adventure. Extremely sad choice but well. However, Doreen never accepted him as a criminal so her feelings were not based on the thrill.

exactly !
That is true' he didn't discriminate. But at the end of the day' all he went through was not entirely his fault. He was molded to be who he later became. And he accepted that to the death.
R.l.P 💖💖
@@ritahorne9739 it is his fault because he kept being that way and never showed any kind of regret, even while know how wrong that was. despite his childhood's influence, this is who he wanted to be. otherwise he would have at least tried to overcome it.

Why are feeling sorry for him. I wonder if you feel sorry for other criminals
@@lorealjane9192 you obviously don’t know how to read or what, where did I say I feel sorry for him ?
If only he actually chose a better path for his self
@@honeymay5853 or maybe if he took same path.. just with a 'light' or people/friends/family to love and support him....... and if he still kills after that.. we woulda called him 'the day stalker' on a real note tho monsters arn't born... they are made in my opinion, and i bet deep down it's fact. I once had said monster in me... i got rid of him. and he got in me from being bullied in school/ stepdad was abusive drunk....... now to this day. i forgive everything they all did to me..... and understand why they did it. they didn't know the effect it had on me/the power people can hold when they alienate someone and group bully them.... THEY DONT REALIZE EVERYONE IS ATTACKIN ONE PERSON... it becomes a game actually in their kid minds. 'sheeple syndrome'
Cause no one is perfect, but that doesn’t excuse his actions. I’ve always been the type to really understand why people do things the way they do, which Is why I hate bullshit reasons like “oh cause he’s born evil or good”. Nobody was born anything. Humans either make their own future or society will make it for them.
I watched the Netflix episodes, one of my favorites. Favorite in the way how investigation was handled. Definitely the head traumas played its role in him becoming what he was, also his brother, the person who showed some affection. At 3 years old his evil side was “conceived»
One of Richards childhood close friend from El Paso described him as having a good heart, a sweet boy, a calm one and he was always smiling and being energetic. He told a story saying that one time his neighbour “a girl” started hitting Richie and fighting him when they were little, Richie didn’t do anything back and his friend asked him why didn’t you hit her back, he said: Because I love her, I can’t hit her. He was never born evil, He was a lost soul, lost into the darkness with nobody caring to save him. He had a traumatic childhood besides him suffering continuous concoctions to his head which were never treated and that damaged his thinking and ability of emotions later on in life. Let’s not forget the acid and heavy drugs he started using and the impact the have on a person already ill. He lost hope in love and happiness and fell into the darkness.. May he rest in peace, I hope and pray in another life for him. Only God can judge him because only God knows what was really in his head and heart and what REALLY went through in his life. God loves all his creatures no matter what! Media is all fake, people lie for fame and money. A bunch tv liars selling fake stories and the dummies of this population believes them… God bless and stay woke y’all

Morbeatz maybe its just the famous ones we know?
When they told a bit about his childhood and showed his picture as a kid, it was so heartbreaking to know what his future would look like. He became pure evil indeed, this is why it’s important coming from a loving home..
kzhead.info/sun/fbiYaaytn5t6bJE/bejne.html richard edit
@Fatima thats what he told interviewers but due to more research in his past he was actually abused by his grandfather
Fatima Ted Bundy was lied to and told his grandmother was his mom and his real mother was his sister. That would be pretty crappy
@Fatima Teds “dad” was his grandfather. The grandfather, Sam, was abusive. His mom tried to abort him, failed (and that can cause damage to the fetuses brain) he only spoke positively about his family, because he didn’t want to embarrass him. He confesses later, the day before his execution, that he had done sexual things to his sister and said “be careful out there. There’s a man killing girls that look just like you” so yeah... not normal.
@Apex and those are the scary kind sociopaths and psychopaths
This documentary still haunts me to this day!! The idea that People like this guy breathe the same air as everyone else scares me
While it's true that most serial killers have had traumatic childhoods and other antecedents to their monstrosity, many others experience the same but never think of going on killing sprees; these people are evil at heart.
Literally everything that could go wrong in a persons childhood happened to him

Finally someone in comment said this.
This is what happens when you force yourself to have children to become happy then end up abusing and neglecting them.
We should aslo hold him accountable for his own actions
The whole human race starts off as infants. It's horrible that life is a bytch but somewhere down our adult life, we have to help and find peace within ourselves if life is fcked to us as children.
@@ayaayah1817 Yes. I don’t think that what he did was right and thank God he was caught but please keep in mind that not all people are the same. You will see in the DSM V that factors such as getting abused as a child can cause serious mental illness that can affect how they act, feel and believe in. People have different ways to cope and some don’t. I applaud you for being strong but in some cases that is not the same to everyone. It is sad that we dwell too much on human resilience that we don’t think about the root cause of this tragedy. We live in a cruel society and bringing a child into this world knowing that you won’t be able to give them a proper life is just selfish.
@@annika2963 agreed, but it’s also a huge blame on his family. (mostly his cousin) because his cousin taught him all of those things.
Force?
I don’t know how to explain this but everytime I see his name or think about him I feel like he’s right next to me, it freaks me out.
he did have emotions and feelings. He said he's sorry for 1 16 yo victim and a puppy that got away in one of his crimes. He had feelings. He even said all serial killers have feelings if u dig deep enough. I think he was speaking about himself when he said that.
Yeah he cried when he saw his sister in prison
This doesn't really do anything. People with actual feelings don't go on killing people
He's a GREAT example what can happen due to early concussive brain injury, severe physical abuse and exposure to physical violence. Oh and genetics. And WHY it is important to really care for kids.
On top of all that his Mom accidentally poisoned him in the womb.
@@derekazyan9942 😲
THIS. It doesn’t matter if you feel sorry for his childhood or not but his past should teach society a lesson to help if you see someone in need and to treat your kids with love.
Not to mention exposure to sexual content at a very young age
@@derekazyan9942 how so?
Nobody is born evil. Im not saying he is innocent but this is definitely a case of how abuse can alter the mind.
yes 100%. Evil is not born it’s created by something or somebody. In this case it was both his father and his cousin that shaped him to become a killer..🙁
YES!!
@@sam8192 so? Yes humans are capable of a lot of harm but there is a lot of good in humans too. It’s up to one’s self to choose that path for themselves. There are many, many people with very traumatic childhood and experiences and they go to try their best. Shit, those who can’t anymore at least are kind enough to take care Of themselves instead of hurting others.
@@sam8192 I agree with you. No-one has to teach a toddler to lie and manipulate, we do this naturally. I wouldn't put that under the banner of evil in the strictest sense, simply because of Grace and the fact that children are not yet aware of their own sin or the commandments. So Grace is with the children. However there is evidence to suggest that certain brain scans reflect part of the brain (Amygdala) are very small or absent (determining empathy, fear etc). This doesn't necessarily make one to go out and kill, but I think if one is born this way, and you couple it with childhood trauma, these people would have a higher propensity to kill. It makes sense. They still had choice though. They would know it is wrong. Otherwise why would they try and evade capture? Ramirez chose evil and sought it and must stand in judgment both on earth and in eternity.
@@sam8192 uh are you good? lmfao
I really believe it was the neurological and environmental factors that created the mindset for Richard Ramirez. The epilepsy, the constant verbal and physical abuse, the negative and often violent influences of his family, and his eventual downward spiral into drug addiction were the catalysts that created the perfect storm. His parents should have been arrested and he should've been in a loving home, but who knows if that would have changed things or not. What Ramirez did was beyond the pale and though you can feel empathy for the child, what he did as an adult was heinous, vile, and fully his responsibility.
Why did we only get to hear a few snippets of the tapes Richard did with Carlo? The Netflix series could’ve used a lot more. Would’ve liked to see more about his life than the pursuit of him. But it was still good. One great thing was the victims finally had their stories told in depth & respectfully. May God bless and comfort the survivors & the loved ones of his victims. The years may swiftly pass but this case will never be forgotten
this kid had it rough, but it doesn't excuse his actions
But it explains them.
emotional and psychological abuse were the circumstances he endured. Theres that saying "when the world turns its back on you, you turn your back on the world" and he was the product of that on an extreme level unfortunatley. He also didn't get psychological help so . The justice system is just messed up.
@@IsabelBreydin , there are a lot of people who been in similar conditions that Richard Ramirez was raised in and didn't receive any psychological help, but they never turned into serial killers.
@@HappyRoach1 similar but not the same, those people would still be mentally disturbed unless provided with the professional help they deserve. When youre exposed to murder and not an ounce of love around you you’re obviously going to become withdrawn/detached from humanity. If you knew more about him you would understand a bit more but ive said before that what happened doesnt excuse what he did but i dont believe people with such a history should be scrutinised, publicised and demonised, instead they should receive help. Thats what the justice system should be about not damaging people further with the media and keeping them locked in a room to worsen their health.

FYI I am the 300th like
honestly, probably not. i don't exactly think an attempted rape would have put him in jail for life. plenty of rapists get off pretty easy, or only serve part of their sentences. so while it could have prevented those specific murders that came after, he probably still would have gone on a spree once he got out of jail.

Seriously I couldn’t agree more. It’s not an excuse for what he did but they could at least show why he started to do it

Yes. He was abused, bounced around homes, etc
Or listen to the “Lights out” podcast they talk about his childhood . Pretty eerie stuff
Probably wasn’t raised right
It really hurt seeing his childhood picture smiling like that. Really made me wonder how he would've had turned out if he never had those injuries, if his cousin never showed him those pictures, if he never witnessed his cousin killing his wife.
N if he wasn't soo brutally maltreated as a kid, if his parents have been parents, omg
its scary seeing his photos, he looks happy and normal. Makes me truely wonder what he would be if things went diffrently
It’s incredibly sad.
If he didnt do any drugs
He smiled as an adult too🤭
it's sad that the families and friends of the victims may watch this documentary as they bring to mind the tragic events they may want to forget...
The head injuries as a child could be a defining factor to how he became who he became. Brain trauma as a child minor or major can have a devastating affect to the personality of a person as they grow older. This could be the catalyst that started his very serious crimes and psychopathy.

Believe me, in Los Angeles in the summer of 85, he was way more famous that Ted Bundy or Charlie Manson. It was a scary summer.
Yes,I was a year old and I remember growing up my mom would talk about him. Probably why I’m interested in true crime lol.
classicarah Bundys killings were 10 year prior and he killed over several years. They didn’t even connect the killings until much later because he was killing across several states, thus not creating mass hysteria within one state. Ramirez was mostly infamous during that time because he was going ape shit in the same area, within a short time span. The most scariest serial killer though in my opinion was the East area Rapist/ original night stalker (Joe Deangelo). He was caught just 2 years ago. I recommend you looking him up. Far scarier than Ramirez or even Ted Bundy IMO. Not like it’s a competition though lol
@@lilo638 the reason why Richard Ramirez was so scary for me was because in the summer of 85, I lived in the Los Angeles area and I was just 17 years old. Further, I was the man of the house and I felt responsible for protecting my mother and younger brother. I used to practice hitting tree branches with a metal pipe that I also slept with just in case he came into my home. We, the public, had no idea what was going on, with the exception of what was reported in the news.

it's sad that some people's lives get wasted just because of another person's actions. it doesn't justify his actions, but from some angle he isn't responsible for what happened to him. yet it created someone im sure he would've never wished to be. just because of one persons influence on another, it can hold the other responsible for everything after.
In that hot summer of 85' I was awakend to our dogs going crazy in the middle of the night. I was 16 staying at my Aunt's house for the Summer in Mission Viejo. Never before had I heard our dogs bark and yelp as they did that night. As I got out of bed and walked towards the back window of my bedroom, I paused and thought to myself " what if it's him out there". Then, said to myself "no way, this is Mission Viejo". I slid the window open and called out to our 3 dogs, shhhhhing them to quite down,;They finally did, and I closed the window and returned to bed. It was really unusually hot, and I was just trying to fall back asleep after this strange outburst from the dogs. The next morning I woke up to police and sheriff squad cars all the way up our street. The news stations were all out there too. It was "him". I will never forget that night. Way too close for comfort! I'm glad that evil bastard was caught right after this, and is now dead.
Wow. That’s so scary
Your dogs saved you basically
Okay offtopic, you need to write a book because your writing it's so good
was he trying to get to you so dogs were barking or he was just in the same street?
@@gallo4796 there's a good chance they did!
His parents are so responsible for his actions. As a child he should have not been left alone, he had 30 stitches!! I feel like he should have been taken care of properly a CHILD, upbringing and childhood trauma literally shapes a person.
he should cry about it.

@@mamba2019 yeah and he killed people
@@mamba2019 Nothing lead to shit, he killed innocent people not his abusers. Only reason he’s being defended is because of his looks
May the victims who passed away Rest In Peace and my deepest condolences to their family and friends.
I havent had any head injuries but i sure got abused by my father alot, Physically and verbally. Witnessed domestic abuse since i was 5. Had family time only for about 2-3hours a day since i was 8. Got Molested multiple times by adult men. And few more stuff. I know i didnt have it as bad as this guy but what i think kept me sane enough was my friendships. No matter how bad childhood is. Its upto a person itself what path to choose.
If only someone looked at him and told him that he is a good person, only if he grow up with nice people and his cousin never did what he did then he probably should've been a better person. Sadly he turned into a monster.
and if he didnt hit his head twice while growing up.
He had an horrible childhood and not usual one, fucked up parents for sure. But.. I have sympathy for the child. Not for the adult he became. He did horrible things. I have no words. He killed everyone he met, innocent people, child, elders etc. His parents or person who are responsible of his childhood were the only ones who deserved a punch in the face. Not his victims. So we can't have any sympathy or compassion for him.
Shut up bitch no excuse for mudering people

The way he was raised, dealt with, the kind of influences that were around him, there is no wonder he felt drawn to Satanism, addictions, and killing. A life devoid of love and nurturing built this child into a killer. He said in an interview he gave up on love and happiness a long time ago.
That is NOT an excuse.

They look just like my dog's eyes
Dark and beady, no depth
Those eyes saw such terrible things.
Look at Ted Bundy's eyes. Way wayyy more scarier.
his entire face...
I love these kind of series :)
It gets me upset, that after the arrest he started to treat like a celebrity, even got his ugly teeth repaired for free... Why?!! ... I think in the prison, there was no justice that have been done to Ramirez... and don't make me start about those fan girls... (Pardon my english, I speak totally different language)
Your English is fine. And omg I know people make this murderers famous! Just like Chris Watts he gets so many fan mail! 🙄
Pretty privilege, especially considering that he was active in L.A, city of Hollywood, city in which everything is about looks.🤷♀️
There is a lot to it you aren't aware of. And yes, the groupies are strange but hybristophilia is very real.
Every serial killer has those fan clubs, and they get famous by those fan clubs it’s not really the media’s fault it’s their job to report but the girls in these clubs are just basically wanting the same attention ppl the media have him
That's your opinion.
The fact that he hit his head hard multiple times explains a lot 😬
in my opinion. he has no brain/head trauma... its all emotional abuse... which hurts more than pshysical (brain beat brauns) he probly seeked true love.... could never find it.... instead probly he was seeing 'love float away for him' you can see he truly doesnt have emotion anymore :(
@@codydarrach7471 That is so true. In one of his interviews he literally said "I'll tell you this, I gave up on love and happiness a long time ago." Circumstances really couldn't have been worse for him :(
They tried that one with John Wayne Gacy he suffered a nasty bang on the head they looked at his brain after he was executed nothing was found both of them evil and that’s it plain and simple
@@eddieroadrunner6691 its mental abuse.... not physical, is why they can't 'proove' an actual evidence... you can see external damage to the brain, to determine the possible internal. but you can't see the internal if there's no noticeable external damage leading to it.
@@IsabelBreydin yeah, it's sad that the damage he had to him was all 'internal' and no external openings leading to it.... so therefore they'd have to go off his word that he's truly hurting inside and trying to mend the pain....... since theres no 'physical external proof that leads to a internal.... 'evidence' rules him out :( and I truly understand people not wanting to believe this man is capable of being really caring.... guess what. I bet he cares more than people saying that about him... THEY CANT PUT THEMSELVES IN ANOTHERS SHOES/THEY HAVE GOOD LIVES. NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHAT THIS IS LIKE, (they see no point in doing it) BUT WHEN YOUR GUNNA COMMIT SUICIDE ONE DAY....you just think to self. 'im going to kill people first' im not going alone. hell maybe i even get lucky off one these sprees.... an live a HAPPY LIFE. thats why i would do it/ i feel he did as well. I SHOULD KNOW, I'ts because ppl like this turn a guy to have a psychotic episode... btw if yall can't tell already i got all my knowledge based off my psychophrenic episodes. WHICH WERE ALL INDUCED BECAUSE I KNEW THE TRUTH TO SO MANY THINGS, NOONE COULD UNDERSTAND ONLY I CAN... and it made me believe 'i MUST BE TRULY HALLUCINATING.... and im the one with messed mind...... GUESS WHAT......Now i get why people like 'tesla/einstein/steven hawking exist..... I truly am as smart as 'one of the greats' if not COMBINED.... because of their 'jumpstarts' of knowledge i was given due to being born, AFTER THEY lived their lives. when he goes all satan mode.... (he truly feels as if he has the anger/hatred and emotion to summon satan yes) wanna know something......is scary enough.......that is satan' spiritually' possesing you'
The night stalker documentary on Netflix is amazing. It's a must see
7:22 He killed.... Peter Pan?
They didn’t talk to much about him. Like childhood or his life.
I think Netflix was trying to tell the story from the Victim and the police's point of view. That the criminal here deserves no mercy or compassion at all because he did not show any to his victims. He lost his status as a human being in my eyes when I found out what he did to the little six year old girl and the eight year old boy in front of the boy's mother. I no longer care where he came from or what he went through and I would gladly condemn him to live his nightmare childhood over and over again. He is a murderer and a rapist. Nothing excuses that.
@@lilaskaddoura6951 it could be that he became one because of his childhood but it doesn’t have to be. There are people with worse Traums and people with non and they become killer and rapist. On the end it doesn’t matter what happened because the therapist and psychiatrist came to the conclusion that he was fully aware that he is doing was wrong. He even sad that and multiple things. He didn’t even actually worshipped satan he just thought it is cool
@@lauralol6511 Actually, he was a devout Goetic Satanist. And the prison population is made up of 97% adults who were abused as children. So you're wrong n both counts. Also, to the person above who chose to dehumanise Richard. You are more like Ramirez than you know. It's psychopathic to dehumanise others like that, shows your true colours though.
But it’s good they didn’t put him on the pedestal and made him seem like he is solely a product of his environment. People who put em on a pedestal must be attracted towards death or something. It ain’t pretty
But the thing is, since you know about this and this doc has been made, you can search these things yourself. People all over the world have awful childhoods... so many of them don’t start killing random people, raping, eating their food, vomiting on their belongings, and ejaculating onto their stuff. Yeah, he was raped and tortured as a kid. Doesn’t make it okay for him to steal the innocence of the children he chose to hurt. We all have a brain, we are all told from right and wrong in school. The director himself said he didn’t want to make excuses for him. There’s a good doc on HBO called “crazy, not insane” where they talk to a respected physiologist who has had conversations with murderers (Ted bundy, etc) a lot of these murderers experienced some type of abuse in their youth, and had developed DID... supposedly, but these are still people who knew what they were doing was wrong... that’s why they didn’t want to get caught. It would be completely different if they had turned themselves in. But there is no conscience for them. Ramirez was demonic.
Not born evil but definitely created. His childhood....this is why it angers me so much people that have children, who are neglectful, abusive or have no money or that have psychological problems.....some people have no business having children, period. I blame his parents most of all....he was abused and neglected, never shown love or taken care of. He was 13 when his cousin Mike shot his wife in front of him. His parents should've protected him from all of that. And when his cousin committed murder in front of him, why wasn't he removed from this family and situation?
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING!! People really dont understand how trauma can lead somebody down such a terrible path and thats why I dont like this documentary, they paint him as satan incarnate but he was just a product of circumstances. He even said that himself in one of those short interviews. What he did was horrific there is no doubt about it and no excuse but the way the media portrays the people who need help is sickening. Even down to this documentary.
@@IsabelBreydin they didn’t tell us about his child hood or anything that’s the problem with the documentary
@@qqq3494 i agree
@@qqq3494 , I believe the documentary is presented from the perspective from law enforcement, Californians, and victims' families. Its suppose to show the fear and horror that Ramirez created amongst the community. It showed why law enforcement had a hard time finding out that one man was robbing, raping, killing, and shooting. It showed the stress that Ramirez put a lot of people under for a year and few months. I believe they briefly touched on Ramirez's youth. But the documentary was more about the people of California, the police, and how Ramirez made them feel.
2:25 what a hero 🤦
There's always an explanation but not always a justification, his childhood and the people/environment he grew up in were bad which later reflected on him but it doesn't make his actions any less worse
We need more shows like this....it was great ....such agood doc series

1nc3ls who complain their struggles to attain relationship: "It's all your personality, you're mysoginistic!" Good looking serial killers who have killed several people for many reasons, including narcissistic traits, psychopathy, mysoginy and misanthropy: "He was setted to be like that; you guys should go on about his childhood abuses" Fun fact: The word "1nc3l" is sensored, but not serial killers, that's why I didn't try to use numbers to avoid censorship on it. -
Ramirez is not such a tough dude. Evil sure, but one has to remember that his victims were asleep and he would have not taken on someone who could fight him back. I find it really hilarious how his downfall came. He tried to jack a car in the wrong hood. As the story goes, when the owner who was 57 years old saw him, Ramirez said "Please don't come near, I have a gun". The man coming from a tough hood saw no gun on him. So, he then opens the door of the car, literally snatches Ramirez's skinny ass out of it, and delivers the first punch. Then some other dude threw a pipe on his head. Before he knows it, the entire block was on him like he was a runaway slave. He got his ass kicked so badly, that when the cops finally showed up, Ramirez begged to be arrested. When you look at it, its really ironic to see that he was a coward, and that his own people would have murdered him more savagely than he did his victims, if only them cops decided to look the other way
No serial killer is tough. Why do you think they target women and children? They know that if it was a fair fight, they would get their asses handed to them nine times out of ten.
@@jordanloux3883 Yeah I agree I guess. Richie always want to project how mean and evil was he, but let us not forget he could not even swing back at the 57-year old dude who literally snatched his skinny ass out of that car and delivered the first punch.
@@jordanloux3883 not all serial killers target women and children.
@@johncaze757 Yes, and those who don't tend to drug their targets for the reason that they can't win a fair fight to save their lives

I wished they talked more about his childhood In mini series , This man is most definitely a product of his environment I noticed every serial killer always has some sort of brain injury. Also his dad tying him up on a cross and leaving him in a cemetery is probably the reason why he loves Satan so much
Yea, most of the time i always hear accidents on the head with the psychos
I reccomend watching Bailey Sarians video on him! 🤓✌👍
Those are the ones that get caught. The ones that have been doing it for so long and don't get caught are the most dangerous ones.
Thank you. I noticed that they focused on his crimes and a millisecond on his cruel childhood. People aren't born evil. Things happen.
His cousin showing him pictures of his war crimes/rapes in vietnam and then shooting dead his partner in front of him- all while he was a kid, was never going to be a model citizen
I believe he was abused by his parents And had very low quality of life. Plus he had head injury Who knows why?" He. Became a such evil. Person?
And his uncle or cousin showing him some ugh pic of victims. I feel bad for them rip.
I don't believe he was abused he was taught! They was working! He said he was touched by Satan and drugs!
Yeah
What's also interesting to me is the number of serial killers that were active at this time. There must have been close to a dozen. And also the ones that weren't caught. Richard Ramirez, Richard Chase, Kenneth Bianki, Angelo Bono JR, Roy Norris, and Lawrence Bittecker, this happened in 79, William Bonnin, Joseph DeAngelo, Randy Kraft, Lonnie Franklin grim Sleeper, Rodney Alcala, Samuel Little, Chester Turner, Hrrber Mullen he was killing a little earlier, and there are others. But this is enough
I think the night his father chained him to a tomb in the cemetery in the Darkness something evil consumed him that night
Imagine seeing him before you took your last breath he is terrifying just to look at 😳

Exactly, most psychopaths are the product of their environment.
@@lennykustard2276 what? İt's inexcusable child abuse dude!
@@spiritanimal8836 understanding doesn't mean excusing, i was just saying that's probably the reason
There have been people who have had the same trauma he has had growing up and they have made their life better than what it was and that obviously played a factor what he became but he was the one who decided to become this evil devil
although it’s all his fault for what he did, and there are no excuses. i really feel sorry for the child version of him, i can’t imagine the trauma that caused, and i’m 100% certain that his childhood led to his crimes.
"lost touch with everyone in his family" might not have been a bad thing. His family seemed sick.
Satan watching his crimes: "think I overdid my job in tempting people to join me in hell."
Nope, that's why LAPD has a satanic crimes unit
Haha Im sure evils were giggling a lot while watching his crimes.
