I just read about the "toolbox killers".
I would love to be their executioner.
Lawrence Sigmund Bittaker (born September 27, 1940) and Roy Lewis Norris (born February 5, 1948), also known as the Tool Box Killers, are American serial killers and rapists who kidnapped, raped, tortured, and killed five teenage girls in Southern California over a period of five months in 1979.

Described by FBI Special Agent John E. Douglas as the most disturbing individual for whom he has ever created a criminal profile,[4]:135 Bittaker was sentenced to death for five murders on March 24, 1981, and is currently on death row at San Quentin State Prison.[5][6]
Norris accepted a plea bargain whereby he agreed to testify against Bittaker and was sentenced to life imprisonment on May 7, 1980, with possibility of parole after serving 30 years. He is currently incarcerated at Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility.[7]
Bittaker and Norris became known as the "Tool Box Killers" due to the fact the majority of instruments used to torture and murder their victims, such as pliers, ice picks, and sledgehammers, were items normally stored inside a household toolbox.[8]
Yup!
I'm glad bar brought back capital punishment!
