Who shot him?
He was a Democrat.
There is only so long the devil will wait for any particular soul.
Not to worry, as a Democrat he’ll have many good years left as an active voter.
never heard of him either...oh well, at least he left California & its’ government a better place...oh, wait
He was a democrat.. HE was so full of crap it finally backed up far enough to stop his breathing.Either that or he realized how much the democrats have destroyed this country and his conscience finally kicked in causing him to off himself. MAY HE REST IN PEACE
From another article:
“Kam Kuwata is a leading California based political strategist and is currently the Campaign Manager for Sen. Diane Feinstein’s re-election campaign.”
57 is way to young?

57 is an eternity!
