damaged rus reputation. He said solved,” said City Council the 400-member Fort Myers member Veronica Shoemaker.Guardian Angels protest Bundy staysSTARKE, Fla. (AP) -Members of the Guardian Angels and other demonstrators gathered in a cow pasture across from Florida State Prison on Sunday to protest last week’s stay of execution for killer Theodore Bundy.Bundy “is slick and smooth, (he) looks almost like the all-American boy, the type of guy you see on TV commercials, and yet there he is doing the most heinous crimes,” Lisa Sliwa, a spokeswoman for the national Guardian Angels headquarters in New York, said before the rally.“And I think that what infuriates me the most is that he ... does it with impunity,” she said. Her organization aims to fight crime and advocates more victims’ rights.Another group spokesman, Paul Martinelli, said Bundy’s continued appeals and stays of executions were a “moral outrage.”Bundy, who turns 40 Monday, had been scheduled to die in the state’s electric chair here on Nov. 18 for the 1978 murder of a 12-year-old Lake City schoolgirl. But just hours before his slated death, a federal appeals court inAtlanta issued a stay of execution.It was the first death warrant signed against Bundy for the slaying of Kimberly Leach.Bundy is also under a death sentence for the 1978 murders of two sorority sisters in Tallahassee. He has survived previous warrants signed for those brutal killings.The weekend protests included picketing outside the 11th U.S. District Court of Appeals, which granted last week’s stay for Bundy.‘He’s the most well-known mass murderer around,” said Mike Oschner, a Jacksonville carpenter and member of the local chapter of Guardian Angels.“I’m sure he knows about this, and right now is sitting back there saying, ‘When I write my book, this will be a chapter.’”On Saturday, Guardian Angels staged a mock execution of Bundy in West Palm Beach. Angel Craig Cordero, 23, a black belt in karate, said Bundy should pay with his own life for the three murders.“I really believe people should pay for what they do,” he said.
