A former Los Angeles police officer who participated in home invasion robberies staged to look like police raids was sentenced Monday to 102 years in prison.
And all the "Only One" apologists are whining the sentence was too severe. I have problems with mandatory sentencing, too, but in this case, it looks like we're right not to "trust people like" U.S. District Judge Gary Allen Feess.
I am curious about what "firearms charges" means. If it means initiating force for personal monetary gain and threatening to kill hostages unless they obey you, I don't see what the problem is, or what's cruel and unusual about separating known vicious predators from the victim pool. Forever.
In a rational world, neither this orc nor his precious brother would have survived the first invasion.
But I guess we're all conditioned to obey instantly or be destroyed, aren't we?

ReplyDeleteI see a lot of sites where the thread gets derailed and don't want that to happen here.
I saw the article this morning in the local daily friend-of-gungrabbers fishwrap, and thinking that the domestic tranquility has not only corroded, but very nearly rusted through.
ReplyDeleteLaw enforcers need to stop kicking in doors; then we'd know fo sure it was only bad guys. With today's forensics, evidence can't be effectively flushed away. There's no excuse for dynamic entries unles it's hostage rescue.
ReplyDeletePresident Bush said the other day that people in Middle Eastern countries should be treated with more dignity and respect by their MONARCHS. How about a little closer to home?
Police are given more weight in court when they give testimony. One officer's word has more weight than 2 citizens' word. I have seen it happen.
ReplyDeleteWhen they do things like this, there needs to be more weight given to the punishment. When they do bad things intentionally (not talking about accidents) they should not get leniency, but should get more severe punishment.
