Profiles in fandom: Robert Charles Comer

True story: In 1987, Robert Charles Comer befriended a fellow camper, then robbed him and shot him in cold blood. The meth-fueled sociopath went to another campsite. Using an EMT badge he stole from the dead man, he persuaded a young couple that he was a drug enforcement agent. After winning their trust, he assaulted and bound the couple. Comer raped the woman repeatedly in front of her boyfriend, then abducted her. Miraculously, she managed to escape after Comer’s truck broke down. He was apprehended the next day.



Months later, an Arizona judge handed down a death sentence while a naked, belligerent Comer sat strapped to a wheelchair, surrounded by armed by deputies. While in prison he developed a nasty habit of trying to stab guards and fellow inmates with crudely-fashioned knives. In 2000, Comer waived his remaining appeals, asking that his punishment be carried out.

In late 2007, Comer was put death by lethal injection. When asked if he had any final words. Comer proclaimed with his final breath, “Go Raiders.”

Clearly, Robert Charles Comer was the least objectionable Raiders fan who ever lived.

    Is there anything meth can’t do?

  3. tbone Says:

    wow…is there a reason why he had to sit naked in a courtroom???

  4. StupidSexyFlanders Says:

    Hahahaha

    Greatest. He’s an obvious Raiders fan. Meth’d out rapist/murderer.

  5. Optimus Prime Minister Says:

    this is why the raiders can’t have nice things

  6. LaFavre's Next Retirement Says:

    Looks like an average Raiders fan.

    You can take the boy out of Alameda Coliseum……

  8. Rick Muscles Says:

    Was Charles Manson a Raiders fan? I bet he was a Rams fan.

  9. Punch Rockgroin Says:

    Not nearly bloodthirsty enough.

  10. Upstate Underdog Says:

    the most fucked up part of this story is that it took 20 years to put this sub-human to death.

  11. Johnny Damon's Laser Rocket Arm Says:

    Looks and sounds like just about every fuckin’ Raiders fan that I know. If he told his story (before his much-to-humane execution that is) in the parking lot before an Oakland home game, it wouldn’t even raise an eyebrow amongst his Silver and Black brethren.

    /Fuck Alice Davis, fuck him in the ear with an icepick.

  12. Reggie Bush's Pimp Says:

    The Curse of Comer has been inflicted on the Raiders ever since.

  13. Animal Mother Says:

    The Bengals think he’s got the right attitude for their team and are looking to sign him to a long term deal.

  14. hercules rockefeller Says:

    I don’t know. He’s a pretty reasonable looking fellow to me.

  15. Charlie Villanuevas Eyebrows Says:

    @UU

    Ah, the American Court system shows it’s competence once again.

  16. Cleetus Says:

    The Raiders have a glass enclosed locker in their practice facility dedicated to Comer. In it you’ll find an assortment of shanks, jailhouse tattoo equipment and a baggie full of raisin jack that is aging well.

    / Seriously, fuck the raiders

  17. Sage Rosencopter Says:

    At least he kept his socks on

  18. J.L White Says:

    I’m sure Comer has already been added to Count Al’s undead army. He can have all the meth he wants, a long as he drags fresh victims back to Al’s lair.

  19. El Duke Says:

    I remember when this happened. The look on the face of Raider fans when I brought this up was fucking awesome. It was some sort of mix of anger, disgust, and disappointment, combined with a complete lack of surprise.

    The more I look at the guy he reminds me of a cross between the Unibomber and Dave Navarro

  23. Shoopmonster Says:

    The only good Raiders fan is a dead one.

  24. StuScottBooyahs Says:

    After winning their trust, he assaulted and bound the couple. Comer raped the woman repeatedly in front of her boyfriend, then abducted her.

    How did that not make the Nasty Fetish Final Four.

  25. Fear The Hobbits Says:

    Cheering for the Raiders isn’t normal.

    But on Meth it is.

    Is it only Three-Named Evil Bastards who can go to court naked and tied to a wheel chair? I’ve got a speeding ticket I’m protesting, but I’m more of a Two-Named Regular Bastard. Maybe I just won’t wear pants and I’ll sit in an office chair.
