Had LaVelle Mixon lived, he would be a Democratic National Committee leader in a few years.

Just like Ayers.

prayers to those families tonight. Thank you Police Officers for protecting us from the bad elements of society. It takes a special kind of person to work the field you do. RIP.

I guess all guns should be banned now.

Prayers for the police and the suspect.

This will be politicized before dawn is my bet.

Prayers for the suspect? Hell no.

I only pray that he found God before he took his last breath, and that is being generous.

F*ck him.

"Had LaVelle Mixon lived, he would be a Democratic National Committee leader in a few years. Just like Ayers."

Or a full fledged professor like Angela Davis, formerly of the Symbionese Lib. Army. Ayers, too, is a prof. at Chicago U. and in education. I believe him to be one of the chief architects of Obama's plans for a state supported 4 year college to educate(read indoctrinate) govt. workers to be loyal to the state and our self proclaimed glorious leader.

Folks, unless somebody throws the engineer overboard, this country is on a fast track to totalitarianism--state training schools; security force armed like military; discriminating against Christians; shutting up talk-radio; banning guns; aborting babies anytime, any place, any how; nationalized health care that can and will select who gets what services, if any; taking expectations and promised rewards away from our military to discourage them (pay for their own wounds in line of duty); representation for DC so another Dem constituency is born; another, larger voluntary, but mandatory (now there's a oxymoron) work force; taking away secret ballot for union membership(called card check); rolling 401k's and IRA's into Social Security; carbon cap and trade; UN tax on oil per barrel; joining Global govt. recognizing Hamas; forcing Israel into compromising with Palestinians--and I have probably forgotten a few initiatives. Taxes are being considered as we post for everything that moves or stays still.

Welcome to the wonderful Fascist/Socialist/Communist world of the ACORN organizer from Southside Chicago.

You're absolutely correct.

Be prepared for his storm troopers to try to hijack the term and concept “Patriotism,” which will include support for the actions you listed as well as denunciation of individualism, self-reliance, and preparing for the worst-case-scenario.

This guy took down two swat members in full tac gear, in addition to two vested motorcycle cops on the street, and at least one other cop in pursuit.

Either this guy was really lucky or something went really wrong with our police gear and procedures.

His “name” was LaVelle Mixon.

Statistically speaking, he was Mexican-carrying his stolen “gat” chambered in .25 ACP. This wasn’t someone with training; his practice almost certainly consisted of yelling “break yo sef!” while shooting at the neighboring public housing slum.

The sad part is, the attacker always has the upper hand. You don’t have to be smart, experienced, or even very fast to pump a few rounds into the two officers pulling you over if you’re a few feet away and draw before they do.

"LaVelle"?

Probably one of those White Supremacist, Christian Identity, Militia Members they've been warning us about.

Probably had NRA decals in his rear window and a Ron Paul bumper sticker.

He probably had his radio tuned to Beck or Rush, when they stopped him, too.

In Northern California a man with a Ron Paul Bumper sticker, and his entire family would have been killed long before he could get a shot off.

People lingered at the scene of the first shooting. About 20 bystanders taunted police.

another "hopy changy" moment

Lovelle Mixon. Probably out on the streets YET AGAIN because prosecutors and judges don't want to keep these punks in jail.
