Just the old same song and dance - Nobody is responsible for anything they do.  The vast right wing conspiracy made me do it, black rage made me do it, ADD made me do it, I was being bullied made me do it, and of course, the policies of the last eight years made me do it. 

Don't Tax Me, Bro.

I have written about three things in response to this and erased each one.  My heart is with the police officers who died as a result of this wretched creature's evil deed.  And the murder victim he probably killed.  And the woman he probably raped.  And who knows what other victims he left in his wake.

I am flabbergasted by the Times piece (I went to their site and read it).  Sympathy for the devil, I guess.  I am glad that that newspaper has never gotten a dime of my money.

Obama:  "The Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers." -Ed Mahmoud

This kind of thing would not be happening to cops, border patrolmen, and military with tacit winks by the media.  I'm posting the following video on every topic that went up today, we all need to watch and save this and pass it around.  Too bad it is not one of our guys talking to Obama.  I wish I knew of one like this on our side of the pond-

A little off topic, but I just watched this video at American Thinker, "If Republicans Had Any Guts", of Daniel Hannan, a conservative member of Parliament that our pols all need to watch.  Where are the conservative members of our House or Senate that would stand up and say this to Obama and his henchmen?  Instead our Republican so-called conservatives use Rush, Hannity, and Levin for cover so they don't have to appear to nakedly against Obama.  Do you want Obama to succeed or not???  Where's your balls???  Shriveled up inside, it looks like.  Kudos to Mr. Hannan.

The pols are still leaving it up to the talkers with the targets on their backs, taking every opportunity to run the opposite direction and not cover their backs ala the "fairness doctrine".  Read Mark Levin's new book.  If the pols can't grow a set, the voters are going to have to.

 --The text box painted a mixed picture of the murderer of four officers: "A man who obeyed some conditions of parole, but not others,"--

So, who gave this guy the right to pick-and-choose what parole conditions he would or would not obey?

Is parole like a buffet? I'll take a side of checking in every week, but I'll pass on not leaving the city or county or whatever?

So, from this story, this guy was...a druggie, a pimp, likely a drug dealer, possessing stolen property, and finally a murderer.

Yeah, let's blame the prison system. A piece of work like that can't be his own fault.

(btw that last paragraph was sarcasm)

Mixon was a killer and a deadbeat and a general menace to society. Of course the NYT likes him. 

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded

"He was saying that they were talking on the radio, that they were probably calling for backup, you know how they do," the uncle, Curtis Mixon, said of the cellphone call, just before the shootout. "Then he said he had to go."

I think this says it all as far as the prevailing opinion "they were probably calling for backup, you know how they do". Of course they were and they were trying to make sure the situation did not turn deadly as it did.  Reminds me of a woman in Fort Worth who was lamenting about here son who was killed by law officers.  She said that her son wouldn't have shot them if they wouldnt have chased him.  It was the police's fault for stopping him and asking questions in the first place.

People like this should be put to sleep for teh good of humanity.

Nuke em til they glow then shoot em in the dark.

"Mister Mixon was a sorely misunderstood individual who chose to act out inappropriately."

Hell, I could write for the NYT.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 61% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory (yep...approval for Congress now at 39%...do you believe that!?).

I guess pistol whipping, beating, repeatedly sodomizing and raping a 12-year old girl on her way to school was part of his mixed efforts at trying to behave.

...blaming his parents for naming him Lovelle?

Lovelle Milhous Mixon - that probably went over real well in the big house.

I read this NYT article.  One thing jumped out at me.  Here it is:

But in the months leading up to the shooting, Mr. Mixon seemed to mix
the elements of both the striving and the sinister, struggling to find
legitimate employment — he took a real estate class, for example, a
nonstarter in a down economy — but also buying a gun.

Now, you and I know that he bought this gun outside of the law.  It was more than likely a black-market gun.  No brainer here.  But my first impression, when I read this, was that he had walked into a dealer and simply bought a handgun, no worries.

I mention this because I see this being used as an argument for banning handguns.  A gun-control supporter would read this and believe that if handguns weren't even for sale, at all, this shooting wouldn't have happened.

Aside from the blatant fact that this NYT article is written to get the reader to sympathize with this dead man's plight and misfortunes, this sequence of sentences really hit me hard as to their spin and manipulation of words.

Scary.

======================

Brace yourself

For the backlash

Of your ignorance.

I can't believe this garbage.

After reading some other accounts, apparently the guy also was wanted for rape, possibly child.  He also was suspected in a homicide.

Apparently by all accounts, this thug was pulled over, two officers approach and ask for his license.  This thug comes out after they run his license, shoots them and for good measure, stands over them and shoots them again, point blank.

 And the NYT feels sorry for this b*stard?

Let's see, maybe it's because he's black and these 4 officers were white or other ethnicities than black?  Imagine if the races were reversed.  It would have been a freakin' hate crime.  

I really hate to interject race into this, but after going over to the Oakland Tribune website, I saw some pro-African group was having a praise session for the killer.  I couldn't believe it.  At least many people on the site condemned them for what the were doing.

On a positive note, in killing himself Mixon saved California's taxpayers millions, not just in prosecuting and incarcerating him, but the additional costs of incarcerating a death row inmate as well.

 Still, there were signs Mr. Mixon was trying to behave. He got a job with a janitorial service and made his parole appointments. But in late January 2008, he came under suspicion of a homicide in Alameda County. While Mr. Mixon was never charged in that case, a search revealed a drug scale and stolen laptop computer in his possession. It was enough to send him back to prison for nine months, this time to Susanville, 200 miles from home.

So he was trying to behave but he was buying and selling drugs, and stealing laptops like most law abiding citizens.
