SNIPPET: “Accusing the alleged cop killer of waging a “one-man war against police,” King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg announced charges that could see Christopher J. Monfort executed.

Monfort, 41, has been charged with aggravated first-degree murder in the Oct. 31 slaying of Seattle Police Officer Tim Brenton, Satterberg announced Thursday. Prosecutors also charged Monfort with three counts of attempted first-degree murder and one count of arson, asserting that the man rigged several bombs at a City of Seattle garage hoping to kill officers and firefighters.

Like Monfort’s other intended victims, Brenton and partner Officer Britt Sweeney were “targeted solely because of the badge they wore,” Satterberg claimed.

“He had a plan to wage a personal war against the Seattle Police Department,” the elected prosecutor said.

Described as a “domestic terrorist” by police, Monfort is accused of ambushing Brenton and Sweeney as they sat in a patrol car in Seattle’s Leschi neighborhood. Sweeney, who suffered a grazing wound in the shooting, told investigators Monfort pulled up next to the patrol car in a light-colored coupe and opened fire; Brenton was struck by multiple rounds and died at the scene.”

Thank God they caught this guy when they did. He could have been our future president. Why???

Because like our current president, he was a very good-looking, (better looking than O), articulate, well-educated (degrees from University of Washington and Highline Community College), half-Black, half-White young man. Somehow, fortunately, he stayed under the radar of the very Liberal Seattle Democrats. He had more going for him than any of the other Black Democrats we have had in high office here. (We have had some really stupid ones). Had the Libs glommed onto him, he would also have immediately been elected to any position they wanted to place him in. With his hatred of police, he would have been a darling of the Seattle Democrats. He would have been a perfect candidate to follow in Obama’s footsteps. Like I say,..THANK GOD!!!

Whoa! It sounds like someone is 'jumping to conclusions' here! Mustn't do that, you know.

I've posted before that IF this had been a white Christian truck driver who home schooled his kids, his pic would be on every major tv station....

I wonder if people even realize the amount of violence done by blacks to whites and other blacks....its astounding....
