Westy...I just got done watching the Memorial Service for Deputy Herzog, and I am just in tears...it was a very long, yet very moving Memorial, with family, and friends, and co workers giving testimonials...When the bagpipers came on, and played Amazing Grace, I really just about lost it altogether....I did not realize it was on TV today, so by the time we tuned in, it had already begun, but I think we got to see most of it...it was really a stirring tribute to a fine man, a Green Beret Vet, and a Sheriffs dept. deputy...

I am so angered about the manner in which he died....and doubly angered when I watched on TV, the other night, when they showed the shooter in court, with his family and friends, almost cheering him on, as he stood before the judge..I realize that this man is their family, but they should really have had the good sense to act more remorseful, instead of acting almost jubilant...

What really angers me about this whole thing, is that the Deputy Herzog, probably never pulled his gun on this scum, because he was naked, and had the deputy shot him, the family would have sued that police dept, for shooting a defenseless naked man...

Instead Deputy Herzog tried to approach the man rationally and get him under control...and this man then using his nakedness as a means of showing himself to be somewhat defenseless, and without a weapon, then is able to disarm Deputy Herzog, and execute him, emptying the Deputys gun into the Deputy...

I am just livid over this whole incident...

I hope this scum who executed a fine man, a fine vet, a fine deputy, a fine father and husband, and a fine son, himself someday gets executed...

I am just praying that his perp does not try to use insanity as a defense, nor that a jury will be fooled by him...

We need to watch this case very closely, and put extreme pressure on the prosecutors to do a superb job, and make them ask for the death penalty...
