Happy Cinco de Mayo to the Nunez family

Controversial decision canceling 4th of July ceremony

While serving as Speaker in 2004, Núñez made the controversial decision to not allow a 4th of July ceremony featuring a talk by retired Rear Admiral Jeremiah Denton to take place on the floor of the California State Assembly. In 1966, Denton, a Vietnam War veteran and POW, and former US Senator, was interviewed during his confinement and blinked in Morse code to spell out the word “torture.” Following his retirement from the Navy, Denton accepted a position with the Christian Broadcasting Network as consultant to his friend, CBN founder Pat Robertson, a position Denton held until 1980. Assemblyman Jay LaSuer had invited Admiral Denton to speak, but Nunez claimed that there wasn’t time for to celebrate America’s Independence Day on the floor on the Assembly. However, time was made to hold a ceremony honoring a retiring Los Angeles Times reporter on the day of the planned 4th of July ceremony. While Cinco de Mayo, St. Patrick’s Day and Chinese New Year’s had been celebrated on the State Assembly floor for several years in a row, the 4th of July had not been.

Seriously, murder gets you at most 16 years? Dear God, no wonder the Western World is coming apart at the seams.

I SMELL A FIX. THE CUMULATIVE CHARGES AND PENALTIES SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT 20-30 YEARS, NOT 16. THIS WAS MURDER, NOT ASSAULT OR JUST AGGRAVATED ASSAULT.
