"nipping at his heels, like a pack of insatiable hyenas, day after day after day, would they never stop? "Lovell Mixon died at 26, hiding in an apartment"... Now the hell-hounds are on his heels.

[WayneS]

I like the “perpetrator not responsible” “spin”, right from the opening paragraph.!

Mixon was “SHOT by police” during...

...an incident that “left 4 officers dead”.

Apparently NO ONE actively killed them, they just “got dead” somehow during the “incident”.

How about: “Mixon shot and killed 4 police officers and left several wounded as he instigated a running gun battle with police which resulted in his death”.

Wouldn’t THAT be a better, more fair, assessment of the situation?

Also, he was "denied opportunities".

Racist bastards!

[Travis T. OJustice]

Family members, angry and upset after their loss, describe Mixon as an deeply frustrated young man who likely snapped under the weight of opportunities missed or denied.

This stinks, like BULLSH!T.

Chalk another one up to:

Poverty made him do it...!

[squarebarb]

I didn’t think even the AP would go this far.

I was wrong.

[MinuteGal]

Whatever happened to California's "three strikes and you're out" law?

Seems to me he had enough violent felonies in his background to qualify.

Was the legislation repealed....or, worse, ignored?

A cycle of violence

[onedoug]

What a bunch of crap.

[WayneS]

NOWHERE in that entire article does JULIANA BARBASSA actually state that this animal MURDERED four police officers.

She persistently describes them as “getting killed” or a gunfight “resulting in their deaths”.

It is positively SICKENING.

Now the hell-hounds are on his heels.

That would be the way to bet.

[WayneS]

Right now I’m weighing MY oprions regarding “snapping under the weight” of the oppressive regime of President Weathervane.

;^)

[WayneS]

...or even my OPTIONS...

[dfwgator]

Sounds like a job for "Bicycle Repair Man."

[SECURE AMERICA]

Family members, angry and upset after their loss, describe Mixon as an deeply frustrated young man who likely snapped under the weight of opportunities missed or denied.

Then he should have shot him self.
Instead the scumbag felt he had to take 4 productive members of society with him.

[dfwgator]

describe Mixon as an deeply frustrated young man who likely snapped under the weight of opportunities missed or denied.

Oh geez, who hasn't had missed opportunities in their life?

[Cloverfarm]

The article called the murderer “ ...deeply frustrated young man who likely snapped under the weight of opportunities missed or denied.”

No excuse. We’ve all had missed and denied opportunities and never ended up shooting anybody.

Keep your powder dry!

[MrB]

yeah, but was he a “minority”?

If so, he gets a pass.

[Travis T. OJustice]

I didn’t even notice the typo, i guess i need new glasses! Unnngh.
