A Pasadena police officer fatally shot a man today after the victim reportedly point a gun at him, police said. Two officers were dispatched to the Hacienda Isbell Apartments, around 12:30 p.m., after residents reported that a man was firing a gun in the apartment courtyard. Officials did not release the identification of the victim, who was pronounced dead at 2:07 p.m. at Memorial Hermann Hospital. The victim is believed to have been in his 20s, according to Pasadena Police spokesman Martin DeLeon.
When the officers arrived at the scene they went to an apartment where nine Hispanic men were drinking, DeLeon said. One of the men inside the apartment allegedly pointed a gun at one of the officers, he said. The officer then fired at least twice, striking the man in the chest, DeLeon said. Witnesses told police the victim is the same man who was seen shooting in the courtyard earlier. The other eight men in the apartment were taken into custody for questioning.
I can tell you right now, as I live in Houston, the hispanic "leadership" will be screaming for an inditment, and then there will be a lawsuit....and lost in all of this is the fact that they were illegals trying to shoot cops....makes me want to puke!
A lot of people don't like me. Take a number and stand in line. My wife is a native of Mexico and she puts up with it. My boys are half-breeds and they put up with it. When a culture has a propensity for doing stupid things like constantly getting drunk and then pointing a weapon at a police officer and getting shot dead, it needs to be pointed out. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Whomever is chronically breaking laws will be mentioned in my threads. If you don't like it, when you see my moniker, don't read it.
When white Catholics constantly distort the truth to make themselves look good and then freepmail me threatening letters, that too, needs to be pointed out. Take a number and stand in line. When American teenagers are terminally lazy and won't do their schoolwork, study for a test, are constantly looking for the opportunity to party and get involved in matters they shouldn't, it needs to be pointed out. Take a number and stand in line.
You're right. I don't have a dog in that fight. I just felt like pointing out that nine men were in one apartment drinking. They were Mexicans. Some were probably illegal aliens. Mexican culture gravitates toward gathering around on the weekend and the men standing off to one side getting drunk. On some occasions, they get into fights and someone ends up dead. Or, in this case, he felt like shooting his pistol in a metropolitan area with a lot of people around. Then, he felt like pointing it at the policeman. Self-solving problem.
Anglo culture at least tends to not get together with friends and then point a pistol at the police. At least until recently. Perhaps things will change. Take a number and stand in line.
Then again, from where I'm standing, blacks (especially black women) seem to be moving up into white collar occupations, while their cohorts (particularly black males) live a life of unemployment and underemployment. Blacks are the only ethnic group, btw, where females participate in the labor force more than males.
I'll try and behave.....
