Former marine, Itzcoatl Ocampo, 23, accused of killing four homeless men in Orange County between December and January 2012.
It appears that the military isn’t for everyone, especially when it’s
the Marines. The Marines is responsible for being the first division
of the armed forces that sees action first. They are the first
responders in war. They see the enemy head on and all the devastation
that is a result of conflict.
One marine
came home and he was still reeling from the affects of being away at
war. Itzcoatl (itz-KWAH’-tuhl) Ocampo, 23, came home and killed four
homeless people and was suspected of killing his friend’s mother and
brother as well, until new evidence was produced. So far, there is
nothing to support a possible motive other than Ocampo may be suffering
from mental illness, according to the Washington Post.
The former Marine has no previous record, so his actions are being
investigated and possibly linked to his time in an Iraq medical
battalion. The prosecutor, Susan Price, said:
“It’s the simplest case of evil you’ve ever heard of. He
has no record, but he’s a person who has hatred in him and had been
bottling it up for some time.”
