One of the great Jerseyites. He reportedly said he would have shot more but he ran out of ammo. A real humanitarian.

Having been to Camden NJ, I sorta understand this guy.

Wow, had never heard of this guy. What a freak.

"1949 Spree Killer"

It was the video games and violence on TV I tell you!

He's no Ed Gein.

Sooo..the fucker died, huh?
Ah well-NO ONE gets out of this life alive-everyone gets to die!

But did he eat him? No! He is just another one of them pussy "Liberal" killers. A real republican killer would have eaten them just like Jeffy Dahlmer.

A recluse who read the Bible and loved guns, he was convinced his neighbors were ridiculing him behind his back and plotting against him. He was also depressed about his homosexual liaisons in a Philadelphia movie theater.

So he was a Republican then?

Change Philadelphia movie theater to Houston public library and it sounds like Rusty Trombone.

from the article -

...Unruh, then a 28-year-old honorably discharged World War II combat veteran and pharmacy student, planned the killings for more than a year. He kept a meticulous journal on his intended victims.

He killed five men, five women and three children. Some Unruh knew and intentionally targeted; others were simply strangers he encountered on the street that morning.

"They have been making derogatory remarks about my character," Unruh would later tell authorities. What finally set him off was his discovery that someone had stolen the gate to his fence....


Definitely a guy with a lot of issues.

I wonder if being a WW II combat veteran had somehow changed him and set off the violence or if he had always been a psycho but his killing urge never emerged until after the war? Or if he was depressed because he was a homosexual at a time when it was definitely not acceptable in society? He had so many psychological problems from which to choose you can just take your pick.

Now if only just one of those 13 victims had access to a nearby car antenna....

Furyhole has issues. I'm going to flag that post as offensive...

StillBorne hangs out at Applebee's. I'm going to flag him as loser...

Christ, that was weak.

Wisgod once again licks StillBorne's starfish.

Uhruh's care and containment in a psychiatric hospital was obviously much more expensive that the cost to kill him in the electric chair.

Just calling em as I see em. Try again.

Furio is right about one thing. Not eating his victims indicates a severe case of scruples. Our modern mass murderers are far more sophisticated.

By the way, Unruh did not use a gun. It was a birth control device.

Depends. Were nighttime rates in effect?

Must have been all the pot that he was smoking...crazed fiend..."Reefer Madness" was right...Yikes!
