This is why Richard Ramirez became a serial killer #morbidfacts #shorts

[ROCKKILLSPOP]

Treat them like a monster and you're gonna get a monster

[bonnielass]

They literally made him into what he'd be, and then were surprised he became a serial killer.. horrifying childhood. Be good to your children people, you're shaping their future.

[MikeBesk]

Most serial killers are able to blend into society. Richard Ramirez couldn't blend into a shake. He's the most serial killer looking serial killer that's ever lived!

Cousin Miguel also made young Richard help him dispose of his girlfriend's corpse.

If he was diagnosed with epilepsy after being hit in the head, I'm sure he had a pretty significant traumatic brain injury. If his left frontal lobe was damaged, that's a huge contributing factor in why he became the monster he did.

All children deserve parents, but not all parents deserve kids

[moony]

He deserved better, his childhood broke him

[cb]

I wanted to clear some things up about this short. He was never forced to sleep in a graveyard by his father. He slept there willfully as an act of defiance and to get away from his abusive dad. He was never tied to a cross. His parents were deeply religous and prayed every day. His exposure to being around his cousin was one of if not the main reason he became a killer/thief. He tought him how to be stealthy and guerilla warfare. The seizures (grand-mal). Were a result of his mother being exposed to chemicals while working for the famous boot maker tony lama while he was in the womb. Some of his siblings had worse effects such as bone deformaties. The book the night stalker by phillip carlo is the best to source for all of this.

Another case of nurture vs nature. They made him what he was. He never really had a chance. Some can break out of it and some can’t.

[blankmanj]

You don't know what people going through this why I be nice and kind to everyone

[UserJosephbricks]

He’s not pure evil he’s just very very broken😔

You can pick your friends, but not your family. I think Ramirez was of Mexixan heritage. I understand that what the Father says goes, in a household. Beatings were common when disciplining children, or extreme discipline. You were expected not to cry, and if you cry you get beaten more. Its traumatic, horrible!
It's true!!! Someone in my family fell from a tree and was left there as punishment. For 2 days their world was spinning, and now, this person has episodes of uncontrollable violence and strength; but is the kindest person that will always go beyond to help someone in need.

His mother was also exposed to toxic fumes from a factory she worked in the entire time she was pregnant with him.

[archangel]

I think when it comes to why and how Richard Ramirez became a serial killer, it all boils down to his upbringing, physical abuse, head injuries/ head trauma, and violent exposure at an early age, which all came together to create that perfect storm that makes people into serial killers.

[ricochano]

He was literally molded by his surroundings

[Easyenglishlearning-ri]

His whole life was a tragic. He killed innocent people only for a temporary pleasure. Something inside me feel sorry for him, his surroundings did him dirty (i can't imagine growing up in such a family). And that's why childhood is ur most important part in life, it can make you or break you.

[michelegonzalez]

No, the head injuries didn't cause his violence. It's because he didn't want to be the victim anymore. If he made someone else the victim, it wasn't happening to him.And now he had the power. I know because I too was a victim my whole childhood, I never let the thoughts take controll. But I had all those thoughts.

[iAmATRYU]

As someone who has had a traumatic childhood/life in general i can relate. Had my legs broken at 9 when i was ran over by a car (was a mangled mess) my older bro and sis would bully me and show me snuff/gore videos when i was 11 when i would suppose to be in bed to go to school the next day and my father taking his own life next to me when i was 20 (among other things id rather not share) Its made me very anti-social and i just never felt like really fit in anywhere. Im pretty much a loner. I have an anger or animosity towards people sometimes, i drink a lot and just recently kicked a drug habit. I have severe depression/anxiety in which i have to take medication for because i tried to unalive myself last year. I've never truly felt accepted by society and the evil things people do to one another disgusts me, don't get me wrong, i have some terrible thoughts that rest on my mind sometimes as well but i never act on them because its not the right thing to do, no matter how outcasted or abused i may feel in life I could never do unto someone how i feel constantly. Ive lived very sheltered to the point where i find it hard having a basic conversation with people sometimes. I either dont say the right thing, try too hard to be likeable (code switching i think its called) or i stumble on my words a lot cause i dont speak my mind or speak with a lot of confidence because i feel like my words don't matter.. i feel like a chameleon with no real identity of his own. hah.. im 30 years old now and the damage is still with me. Sometimes I fear i will never get through this, anyway im trailing off. im sorry for the long essay. I feel like typing is the only way i can get how i truly feel across, years of silence spilling out with word vomit and all that. Thanks for taking the time to read this if you did and if you deal with terrible/traumatic things in your life i wish you peace and resolve because it isnt easy being strong.. but you must..

Many people suffered horrible childhood abuse even worse than this. But grew up law abiding kind people. There is more to it than just the abuse.

[LiveTUNA]

I was abused as a kid and I often fantasize about absolutely destroying people that abuse kids, but i never ever thought about taking an innocent person's life.
