James Ramseur, one of Bernard Goetz's shooting victims, is dead

Story here

In case you don’t remember, Ramseur and a group of his friends were shot by Goetz after asking him nicely for $5:rolleyes:

Ramseur later served 25 years for raping a pegnant woman with a gun.

He died exactly 47 years to the day after he was shot, apparently of an accidental overdose or suicide.

One person I am not glad to see die.

Neat trick, considering he was 45 years old when he died. What, did Goetz pot a couple of figments-of-prospective-daddies’-imaginations, too?

Urgggggg. 27 years!

Goetz should have aimed better.

Did you mean this, or are you on cold medicine? Cuz I’m on cold medicine too.

Between that and the timeline typo I think Annie has been nipping at the Xmas sauce a little early :smiley:

Gun control is hitting your target.

There are some people who serve this world best by leaving it. Mr. Ramseur is clearly one of those individuals, and we should appreciate his belated exit.

It may take awhile but whatever Bernhard wants…

NM: Wasn’t the guy I was thinking of…

I’m on absolutely nothing, but I still fucked up my OP.Ramseur mugged Goetz 27 years ago. Goetz shot him.

He was a thug and career criminal, and the world is better off without him.

There. I posted it correctly.

Well according to Annie, he was a 2 year old.

You know how piss-poor shots 2 year olds are! :smack: :smiley:

47 years? Wow, I’m remembering things that happened before I was born! I must be Merlin!

If I’m reading the OP correctly, Goetz would have in fact been about 17. This may sound unimpressive — but recall that his target was a human entity two years prior to its conception! That the bullet connected at all is quite a feat.

He will not be missed.

The window for making “he shot a negative-two-year-old person!” jokes has now closed. Repeat, the window has closed. I thank you for your efforts in bringing humor to the Dope. We’ll be here all week; try the veal.

Anyway, on topic, yeah. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

It’s always nice when a cell opens up at Christmas time.

I noticed one of the articles about this mention Goetz now runs a business called Vigalante Electronics :slight_smile:

Good riddance. Yuck.

What happened to the other wonderful folks that Goetz shot?
