⁣TUSCON, AZ (AZFamily) — One of the most notorious Arizona prisoners is the sole suspect in a mass killing at a Tucson prison. Now he’s sharing in his own words how and why he carried these murders out, and when he gave prison officials a warning that it would happen.

And it did happen in April, leading to major security concerns within the corrections department.

Go back two decades, when Ricky Wassenaar was responsible for one of the longest prison standoffs in U.S. history. In 2004, he and another inmate held guards hostage in a Lewis prison tower for more than two weeks. One said she was raped.

Now, he not only admitted he is a killer but said he had plans to kill more for a good reason.

“What did you feel in that moment killing them. Did that feel good to you?” asked true crime correspondent Briana Whitney.

“Well, I felt justified,” Wassenaar told Whitney in a call from prison.

“Do you wish you killed more?” asked Whitney.

“Of course! Of course. Here’s the thing, Briana, I jumped the gun,” said Wassenaar.

His statements were concerning and alarming, but Wassenaar said there was a reason he did it. The victims, Saul Alvarez, Thorne Harnage, and Donald Lashley, all had something in common.

“They were child molesters. Alvarez had raped…had kidnapped…first, he came to this country illegally. Then he kidnapped and raped and murdered a 15-year-old little girl. I did society a favor by killing that f****t,” said Wassenaar. “The other two, Harnage and Lashley, were both sexual child predators that molested several victims. So, I did society a favor.”

Alvarez was in prison for first-degree murder. Harnage and Lashley were in prison for child sex crimes.

Wassenaar said his killing spree was possible based on where they were allowed and locked in.

“The way the prison is situated when they let out for breakfast or meal times, they lock us in what they call a chute. It’s a cage outside the chow hall. Once we’re locked in, there’s nowhere to run to, we’re all in there,” he explained.

“Once I seen one of my main targets, I jumped the gun and started. If I would have waited until that chute was locked — that cage was locked, and we were all in there locked in — I would have killed at least seven. My goal was at least seven, but I was hoping for a baker’s dozen. I had several targets, all child molesters,” Wassenaar described.

Could this have been prevented? Wassenaar himself said he warned prison officials. In November 2024, Wassenaar said he was assigned a cellmate, Joseph Desisto, who was also in prison for child molestation and abuse.

He was assigned a cellmate after his custody level changed earlier last year from maximum custody to close custody for compliant behavior, meaning a lowered level of risk to the public and staff.

Wassenaar said he told prison staff he couldn’t have a cellmate.

“I can’t have a celly, I’m not prepared for that. I’ve been in my own cell for 21 years,” Wassenaar told us.

Desisto was found dead in the cell. Wassenaar claims he killed him as a practice for more and describes in detail how he did it.

“CIU (Criminal Investigations Unit) called me in there and I told them the details just what I told you. I told them I put suntan lotion on his neck, that I dropped sweat onto his face as I was killing him, the final strangulation. And nothing happened. They gave me my property. They put me back in a cell,” Wassenaar said.

Desisto was 81 years old. The Pima County Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death was due to natural causes and underlying conditions, not a killing.

“When I got back to the yard, the inmates couldn’t believe it because they all know that I killed that dude. All of the inmates knew. And they send me back on the yard, they said, ‘What the hell?’ and I said, ‘Man, there’s higher powers, higher powers at work here.’ It’s going to recur. It’s going to recur when they put someone else in my cell. So, I warned them at least a month,” Wassenaar said.

Wassenaar told me he believed there was a chance he would be resentenced for his role in the Lewis prison standoff and have potential freedom.

⁣🔴 EXCLUSIVE: Afroman's defense attorney David Osborne and a juror from the case join Defense Diaries to break down the viral defamation trial that just ended in a TOTAL defense verdict.

An Adams County, Ohio jury sided with rapper Afroman (Joseph Foreman) after seven sheriff's deputies sued him for nearly $4 million, claiming he defamed them and invaded their privacy by using his own home security footage to make music videos mocking their 2022 raid on his house. The raid — conducted with weapons drawn on some BS suspicion of drug trafficking and kidnapping — turned up zero evidence and led to zero charges. But the deputies wanted Afroman to pay for making them famous.

The three-day trial in Adams County was packed with viral moments: Afroman on the stand in an American flag suit, deputies testifying about receiving hundreds of pound cakes, a defense lawyer comparing rap lyrics to Lil Wayne and NWA's "F the Police," and a closing argument that asked the jury whether public officials can use the courts to silence criticism.

The jury said no.

Tonight we're getting answers you won't hear anywhere else:
→ David Osborne on the First Amendment defense strategy and how he framed the case for a small-town Ohio jury
→ A juror reveals what actually persuaded the panel — and what didn't
→ The defamation standard for public figures: why this case was always an uphill battle for the deputies
→ Was this a classic Streisand Effect? The "Lemon Pound Cake" video hit 3.8 million views DURING trial
→ Could the deputies appeal? What happens next?
→ Criminal defense attorneys Bob and Ali Motta break down the legal takeaways

The B-Thing

World Trade Center, New York, USA
2000
"And then the surgical intervention in the World Trade Center in New York City. Everything top secret and illegal of course. In days of conspiratorial work, somewhere on the 148th floor and using building site refuse they had tediously smuggled into the building under their pullovers, they constructed a functioning load-bearing balcony. In a long complicated process they scratched putty from the tall heavy window, which couldn't be opened. Then they extracted it using suction pads, shunted the balcony out, posed on it at 6 in the morning and had themselves photographed there from a helicopter for their nearest and dearest back home. They kept very mum about it all, because if word had crept out about their coup they could have been fined very heavily for sabotaging a national treasure. Even if it was built by the Japanese. Incidentally, as proof that they were there, there is now a piece of old chewing gum stuck to the outside of the building at a dizzy height." (Tex Rubinowitz)

⁣Trans-identfied female laywer has an insane meltdown and berates judge in the court of law which ends up getting her arrested.

Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH3x48tm8Q4

Jett here. A viral courtroom clip has people asking a serious question the media and the left usually try to shut down before it even gets off the ground. A female attorney pretending to be a man had a complete emotional collapse in court. It was so far off the rails that the clip went viral and left a lot of people asking some really serious questions. Let’s get into it.

The judge held the woman in contempt for not shutting up and interrupting. Deputies stepped in, and what followed was a Looney Tunes moment. It was a full-blown nervous breakdown, aggressive resistance, screaming, crying, and behavior so unstable that people were left asking if it’s safe for women to be on testosterone.

CRIMINAL CHARGES are imperative as large numbers of innocent people suffered brain damage as a result.

This follows last year’s findings that the same agencies BURIED serious heart damage risks.

⁣Afroman Just OWNED These Idiot Cops [background if you haven't any familiarity with this case]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KItpK6zWLvY

Comments:

My biggest issue with this was that the judge still forced Afroman pay half the court costs. It seemed like this was the judge putting his thumb on this case since it was a jury trial and he didn't drive the result he wanted.

Do you know what that dollar amount was? I haven't seen that yet.

I don't know the amount, but in the final decision the judge added these words '“Based upon the relative merits of the case and the justiciability of the claims, costs are divided one half to the Plaintiffs and one-half to Defendant Foreman.”.

I saw an article speculating court cost total $581 and that being split between the two sides.Obviously speculation is not fact.

It should be a wash for Afroman, since they miscounted the money they removed from his home, after finding less than zero justifiable reason to have breached the premisis on the word of a lying confidential informant
