LA Prosecutors Seek 37 Counts of Attempted Murder Against Lifelong Violent Criminal Who Rammed His Car Into a Crowd Outside a Nightclub

Okay.

This attack occurred over the weekend. A man had been thrown out of a nightclub twice for fighting and being violently drunk. He then came back a third time, this time in his car, and plowed through the throng of people outside the club's doors.

Los Angeles prosecutors on Tuesday announced charges against a suspect believed to be responsible for injuring at least 37 people over the weekend, after he allegedly drove his car through a crowd in East Hollywood on Saturday.

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) alleged the driver rammed his vehicle into a crowd of people, mostly female, while they were waiting to enter a nightclub called Vermont on Santa Monica Boulevard.

LA County District Attorney Nathan Hochman identified the suspect as 29-year-old Fernando Ramirez, and charged him with 37 counts of attempted murder and 37 counts of assault with a deadly weapon, according to the Associated Press.

Ramirez was allegedly shot by a bystander during the incident, where he also collided with several food carts, but survived.

"This was an unprovoked act of violence that injured 36 people, some critically," Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell said. "It's truly a miracle that no one was killed that day."

Hochman said the suspect also committed the crime while he was out on bail for a domestic violence case in Orange County. He is being held without bail on the new charges and will be arraigned Wednesday.

Huh, he was out on bail, huh?

Why was he out on bail?

Would it surprise you to learn that this Fernandez maniac was a lifelong violent felon who was repeatedly arrested for attacking innocent civilians and just as repeatedly set free by LA's and California's antifa prosecutors?

I know you're shocked.

So this is justice, huh? Now that he's committed a Mass Casualty Attack, now we're finally going to put him in prison?

A 29-year-old man accused of plowing his car into a crowd outside an East Hollywood nightclub on Saturday morning, injuring more than 30 people, has an extensive criminal history in neighboring Orange County, including a previous conviction for an unprovoked attack on a Laguna Beach grocery store employee that he told an officer was driven by racial hatred.

...

At least 36 people were injured in the crash, including some who were struck by the vehicle and some who were briefly trapped underneath the car. The injuries ranged from minor pain to serious fractures and lacerations, police said. At least seven people were initially listed in critical condition.

...

Orange County prosecutors confirmed on Monday that Ramirez has an extensive criminal background, including several criminal cases filed against him since 2014.

On June 15, 2019, Ramirez ran up behind a 26-year-old African American grocery store employee and sucker punched him, breaking the employee's nose and damaging two of his front teeth. A couple witnessed the attack at a Laguna Beach store and called 911.

Speaking to an officer in a recorded conversation as he was being driven to a police station, Ramirez admitted in explicit terms laced with racial epithets that he punched the employee because he was Black and that he hated Black people.

That recording led a jury to convict Ramirez of a hate crime on top of felony battery. But an appellate court found that Ramirez's comments to the officer about his racial motivation for the attack on the grocery store employee were improperly obtained by police after Ramirez had received his Miranda advisement and invoked his right to an attorney. The appellate judges threw out the civil rights conviction and hate crime enhancement. What had been a six-year prison sentence was reduced to four years.

Since then, Ramirez has been arrested multiple times for domestic violence, assault and DUI related allegations.

In 2021, court records show, Ramirez assaulted a woman who was found by deputies lying face up in extreme pain in the Ola Vista and Avenida Rosa intersection in San Clemente. A witness described Ramirez grabbing the woman by her hair, throwing her head first into a cinderblock wall, then dragging her into the street by her hair and throwing her down. A deputy later testified that Ramirez resisted arrest by ignoring police commands, flailing about and being unable or unwilling to walk on his own.

As part of a plea deal, Ramirez's jail sentence for the assault case was stayed and he was ordered to spend a year on probation and to take part in a batterers' treatment program and community service. A misdemeanor domestic violence case, also in 2021, led to a 234-day jail sentence, court records show.

Ramirez still has two open court cases in Orange County, records show. One stems from a DUI arrest in Fountain Valley in August 2024. The other is another domestic violence case from January 2022.

From Beege Wellborne's post, quoting the Orange County Register:

An Orange County prosecutor in a sentencing report filed in 2020-- before many of the more recent cases were filed against Ramirez -- described an arrest history that included "assaults while in custody, domestic violence, child endangerment, gang-related activity and racial tension in custody. Ramirez, the prosecutor wrote, "has proved to be violent to strangers and family alike and clearly has a lack of concern for the safety of others."

So why did California repeatedly let this monster out of jail?

It was clear this man was only not yet a murderer by sheer happenstance. (Maybe we'll find out he did murder people.)

Is this California's rule? You can assault and attack people so long as you don't actually put them in a grave?

Shutdown Man @ShutdownMan

Fernando Ramirez is the suspect who rammed his vehicle into several people after getting kicked out of an Hollywood nightclub early Saturday morning. Media outlets are refusing to report on whether he’s an illegal or not. Karen Bass calls it an "heartbreaking tragedy".

Is it a "tragedy"? Or was that your Joker Chaos Agent plan all along, Communist?

You probably noticed that he was shot. Yeah, that happened after his mass casualty attack. He got some righteous Street Justice after driving over a crowd of women and literally running them over so that they were trapped under the car.

They should have simply ripped his limbs off. Because California is going to let this evil terrorist out of jail in a couple of years.
