Compared to most City Councilpeople, Stacey Jo sounds like big fun.

[Clock King]

Sympathy is deserving in this case. Cocaine WILL make you do dangerous and stupid things. My prayers that she can get better.

[tubebender]

Ping...

[cardinal4]

Cocaine will bring you to some bad places. I hope this is her bottom and she can start back up..

Did I read something wrong here, or did it say that the boyfriend had no license to purchase a firearm in one paragraph, only to say that police found a .45 registered to him in a gangbanger's dresser in a later paragraph?

Paragraph the First (excerpt): "Schaffer does not have a license to sell or purchase firearms, according to court documents and an affidavit to support the search warrant served at Murphy's home."

Paragraph the Second (excerpt): "they found a loaded .45-caliber Sig-Sauer semiautomatic handgun in a bedroom dresser. The gun was registered to Schaffer, the search warrant affidavit said."

While what I don't know about California weapon control laws could just squeeze into the grand canyon, how could someone have guns registered in their name without a permit?

"It's difficult," Alvord said. "It's tough for everybody. It's very emotional. We're taking it one day at a time."

Flood the area with grief councilors.

The Party Chick.

[Shaka]

If she is a liberal, she is a victim..if she is a Republican she is the ring leader. Different standards will be employed during the investigation.

[martin_fierro]

*which* party remains unclear.

CA does not require you to have a license to sell or purchase guns unless you are a dealer. To simply buy a gun no lincese is requred, same with selling one, although you are supposed to sell it through a licensed dealer and not sell to felons.

[calex59]

Oops, lincese=license

Here's her photo from the City of Burbank website: http://www.burbank.com/images/stacy_murphy.jpg

Can't find a clue about her political affiliations, but I'll wager she's a RAT.

*which* party remains unclear.

The fact that it wasn't mentioned anywhere in the story leads me to believe she was a Democrat. If she was a Republican, it would be screaming in bold letters from the headline.

[JakeWyld]

I hope that doesn't make me a cynic.

I couldn't help but think the same thing.

[WorkingClassFilth]

I just went through 40 hits on Google and couldn't find a thing about her political affiliation. She's hidden herself pretty well - and that makes it pretty clear she's a RAT.

"I don't believe she knew the guns were sold to gangs." Burbank City Manager Mary Alvord remembers working with Murphy on park and recreation projects, saying she respected her leadership and commitment to public service. "It's difficult," Alvord said. "It's tough for everybody. It's very emotional. We're taking it one day at a time." Police said this popular city official and "soccer mom" frequented a North Hollywood bar -- a hangout for the Vineland Boys -- and bought cocaine there with her boyfriend, who traded guns the gangsters couldn't legally buy themselves

Oh puuuleaze liberal disease. They never think they hurt anyone. They murder babies but that's welfare for mothers, you know. She knew what she was doing, she just had a double personality brought up by liberal contradictory teachings of "welfare without power, power without paranoia"

When AQ bombed, it was Bush's fault too, not rapist Clinton's coddling and inviting terrorists.

This all is not shocking at all. It's going on in my home town and the judge still will not believe the evidence so far...the gang is still quiet and so he sees no reason to go after them.

When an AQ nuke goes off in SanFrancisco, I wonder how long they will take it,a day at a time...

[JudgemAll]

Liberalism+alcohol+prozac+ritalin+cocain = Dr.Jeckyl and Mr. Hide murder "mystery".

[Tall_Texan]

No party affiliation mentioned. Wonder why? < /sarc >

[jocon307]

I know this sounds mean, but since she is white, no one can cry "RACISM!"
