who knows? Some of the people who grew up with him had fond memories of him and said he was a "sweet boy". Things happen and people change. Maybe it was the cousin who forced him to see certain things, maybe it was the brain injuries, maybe he was just born bad. I've heard cops describe Ramirez as "well read" and smart but in watching interviews, he seems like a pretentious idiot who enjoys his infamy. Cops are something else, they will big up a serial killer if it makes them look more competent. I had a cop prof. at my University, I mentioned that Gary "Green River Gary" Ridgeway was a retard and this cop had to stand up for all his brethren and say stuff like Gary was smart to cut his fingernails and shit. Pretty much everyone else associated with the case have said he was near moron level intelligence. The cops don't like admitting they didn't do a great job. Bottom line was, Gary killed people society didn't give a shit about, in fact, he told the cops he thought he was helping them.
