[edit] From the past

Raymond "Lee Harvey" tried to kill President Carter. It's weird, that because of his name, in which "Lee Harvey" Oswald killed President Kennedy.

[edit] Massive cleanup

Two points, I should clarify. First that I'm not sure if the second Osvaldo Ortiz's arrest violates NOR rules, though I think in fairness, "burglary from a car" is a fairly specific charge to be mentioned against the same uncommon given and surnames, especially when "inoperable" guns were used in both instances. But I don't want to be a conspiracy buff either, I really don't give a crap - most likely it's the same guy, and most likely he is a transient career car burglar. Secondly, that sources seem to disagree whether it was a shotgun or rifle case that was found, I have put shotgun simply because it seems the most "likely" scenario to have been the first reported, then simply colloqualised into "rifle" by (ignorant) passersby who have slightly modified the facts. Of course, it obviously makes a difference, since a shotgun couldn't possibly hit anybody from a hotel balcony. Sherurcij ^{(Speaker for the Dead)} 08:57, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Moved In 1999, an Osvaldo Ortiz was arrested in Connecticut, for burglary of a car, using an "inoperable' pistol and charged with being a "persistent dangerous felony offender".^[1] myself, to talk page. Sherurcij ^{(Speaker for the Dead)} 10:18, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Removed the claim he was born in 1950, that would make him 29, not 34/35 as the newspapers at the time claimed, see no evidence of 1950 birthdate. Sherurcij ^{(Speaker for the Dead)} 10:21, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
