Crazed Loon Tries to Sacrifice his Son

There are whole religions based on sacrificing your only son- something that Joseph Ramirez, 30, tried to do in San Diego. Ramirez heard his dead granny talking to him, demanding a blood sacrifice, so he slit his 8-yo’s wrists. Luckily someone put a stop to it before the boy died.

From NBC SanDiego by way of Pat Dollard,

Joseph Ramirez, 30, took his family to Mount Hope Cemetery Saturday around 4:30 p.m. and told them his dead grandmother told him to sacrifice the 8-year-old boy, according to San Diego police.

Officers released a report stating Ramirez had brought candles to the cemetery. One of the candles broke, and he used a piece of the broken glass to slash open his son’s forearms.

Ramirez then slashed his own forearms.

Medical assistant Corey Granberry witnessed the incident and jumped in to help along with her best friend Jaymisha Pires.

If only Ramirez had changed his mind and butchered a lamb instead- he could have started a new religion plus only be charged with cruelty to animals.
