Roast This Scum In Hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is Robert Boyd Rhoades, darlings, considerably younger than now, still residing on Death Row at that most classic of prisons, California's San Quentin. He is an Equal Opportunity Child Killer.
I say Equal Opportunity, because most of this ilk confine themselves to one gender when it comes to victims. But not Robert. His first victim, on April 20, 1984, was 17-year-old Julie Connell. All Julie was doing was studying in a local park. She was a bright, talented high school student, with a future. While Julie studied, Robert, in his green pickup truck nearby, staked out Julie, and, in broad daylight, (which was amazing he could pull this off) made Julie vanish, dragging her to a cow pen, where he
raped and slashed her throat. Julie's story was done by Paula Zahn on her show--way to go, Paula!!!--and it took 14 years to get this scum for Julie. But wait! By the time law officials caught up to him on Julie,
he had been imprisoned for another murder!
That murder was of a little boy, Michael Lyons, of Yuba City, California!
Julie was from Hayward, California! Michael was kidnapped by Rhoades while walking home from school, taken to an area near the Feather River, where he was tortured, raped, and had his throat slashed, on May 16, 1996. Fortunately, Rhoades was caught in the area, about two hours after this heinous act. Once he was in prison, cops managed to get him on Julie Connell, and it is believed he did in other victims, as well!
So, why is this scum still sitting on Death Row, taking up wasted space??????
Execute this trash, at once! Or, better yet, turn him over to his victims' families, who could reenact Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery," stoning him to death--deservedly--unlike poor Mrs. Hutchinson, who was not deserving at all!
Poor Julie and Michael! What they had to go through! If Robert Rhoades does not receive the kind of torture he gave them in life (which would be a surprise, considering how inmates feel about child killers; unless, of course, he is in solitary) one can hope he will be roasted over Hell's hot coals!!!!!!!!!!!
Hot Stuff, indeed, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why are you always exclaiming normal sentences!!!
ReplyDeleteYour punctuation is annoying.
ReplyDeleteDarlings, this is my style; it's what I do! Get used to it!

Thank you so much for the kind words, Sandy, and I wish you peace! As well as your visit to NYC and the Statue of Liberty. Both will be waiting!
ReplyDeleteWhy is Robert Boyd Rhodes still alive? Why hasn't he been executed yet?

ReplyDeleteI ask the same thing. But it all comes down, I guess
to bureaucratic red tape!
Does anyone know what color his pick up was?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know what color his pick up was?
ReplyDeleteI just swatched the episode On the Case with Paula Zahn. What a monster, he doesn’t deserve to breathe the same air we do. When all the evidence irrefutably points to an offender, there should be no delay in their execution. I understand the appeals procedure but surely this monster’s appeals have been exhausted. Execute him now and give the victim and her family the peace they have craved for over 20 years.
ReplyDeleteCloudy,
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more!
Thanks for sharing!
Julie Connell was my neighbor. She lived down the street. She lived in San Leandro and was kidnapped from Kennedy Park in Hayward. Rest in Paradise Julie
ReplyDeleteUnknown,

happy ones. I too wish RIP for Julie.
