The instant we saw the picture of that blue pickup truck, we knew that they wanted him dead. Many here wrote as much on that first day.
Yes, and I don't think it had anything to do with O's speech. I think it had to do with making absolutely sure he could never contradict the Official Narrative. We don't know if he did what they said he did... hey, we don't even know he wrote that manifesto, really. All we know is that when you go against the LAPD, they kill you. They disapprove of a citizen defending his/her own life, but you threaten theirs and by God, there will be no trial, and no paperwork but the paperwork they allow.
