as murder capitol of the west! Those of you fools who scream "gun control" take a look at what happened yesterday. This guy was on parole for assault with deadly weapons and used them again yesterday. I gurantee you he didn't buy any of his guns at a gun show. VideoLinkThe only speck of good news is that the sorry S.O.B. was killed too thus saving the taxpayers untold millions for incarceration and in court costs for appeals. No doubt Susan Sarandon is crying now over a missed opportunity here. |

Obvious racism on the part of the cops. Profiling, picking on a poor black man for no other reason than that he was black. Of course he will defend himself. Expect Jesse and Al to fly in to help stage riots....um.....engage in peaceful demonstrations over this tragic overuse of deadly force by police.

Here is a copy of a letter I received on a cops group I post on from time to time. The guy is active with the Los Angeles Sheriffs dept, I believe.
Ladies and Gents, we can expect the antis to come after semi-autos again because of this tragic incident. They will not consider the murdurous human garbage that perpetrated the homicides or why he was not in jail where he belonged. How many times do we have to re-live these tragedies?
The best defense is a good offense.
I believe we should through media and congressional and state repesentatives, attack vigorously, demanding to know why this piece of human detritus was ever given bail in the first place in view of his prior violent prior convictions. Why he was released upon the community
and thus empowered to kill four 1st responders who will never be replaced, not to mention the destruction and tragedy wreaked upon their families.
Identify yourselves as police officers and let them know who and what's really at fault here, not the voodoo of blaming an inanimate object. Judges and Parole boards have to be made accountable. Please raise hell for our fallen brothers and the rest of us still out there dealing with these POS. As cops, your voices will be heard above the others because you KNOW the truth. All most chiefs will do is whine the standard nonsense about being Outgunned. The media never hears from rank and file and you are, as citizens, entitled to your own off-duty opinion as a citizen cop.
Remember, granting parole and bail to convicted felons with priors is no more than recycling death and destruction back in to the community, endangering us all, cops and citizens. Make them focus on the REAL ISSUE. Thanks and God Bless and keep the fallen among us.

We can expect all our fine elected representatives here in CA to jump on the ban bandwagon with this. Lets get those cards, letters, emails, and phone calls going.

Does your heart go out to the poor folks that surrounded the murder scene and cheered?
They are the victims of the "White Man" after all?

See it was`nt his fault he was just an exicatable boy
Mixon's uncle, 38-year-old Curtis Mixon of Fremont, said his nephew had become depressed because he could not find work as a convicted felon. His nephew expected authorities to issue an arrest warrant for missing parole meetings, even though the he felt he was not to blame, he said.

Yes, but did anyone also see the grandmother apologize repeatedly to the families of the police officers that died? Fair is fair...

For what it's worth, even though some of the inmates who run that asylum (AKA some members of the city council) are trying to play the "we need more gun laws / AWB" canard, Attorney General Brown stepped up and put it into stark perspective.
The issue is, according to Mr. Brown, a prison system that is broken and does not prepare felons to return to society and a parole system that is overloaded, understaffed and so unmanageable that it is largely out of control.
In the case of this suspect he was a parolee at large, a felon in possession of firearms and (apparently) had at least one firearm already deemed illegal by the state for anyone to own or possess. How, exactly, do we make what is already illegal even more illegal?
In so far as the soft heads and apologists I've been seeing who've tried to chalk this to depression and "suicide by cop" it was, in my considered opinion, nothing of the sort.
What we see in Oakland, from the Oakland Housing Authority abuses of the late 1980's, to The Riders, to Oscar Grant, to these latest killings is the end result of over 50 years of societal engineering and devolution. Government, in it's "compassion" has made Oakland what it is.
I doubt quite seriously that government, as it is constituted in Oakland anyway, will ever be able to fix it.

What divide are you talking about Mink? And likely it was BOTH Detroit and Chicago. Not a nickles worth of difference between 'em.

Without trying to make this a racist or social class statement, the divide being either one, which the preponderance of Blacks find themselves in, this is the "way it is" or reality as we know it.
Just as the Native Americans or Indians as they are also known, were placed on reservations, Blacks can only afford the poorest parts of town, unless extremely lucky via some kind of a break. I'm sorry if this sounds the way it does, but how else can one explain communities like this? The poorest Caucation communities don't fair any better.
