James Oliver Huberty

Perpetrated San Ysidro McDonald's massacre, killing 21 in 1984.

Co-worker James Aslanes: "He would talk about rapists. He mentioned what should be done with them: that they should cut off their fingers, they should cut off their hands and tie them up by their testicles. Things like that frightened me."
