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.
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.
I wonder how many of Mixon’s “homies” are celebrating the four to one kill ratio by their bro...
Fixed it for you Juliana!
Liberals see a poor young man who was just another victim of society. Conservatives see a career criminal with a history of violence ultimately ending in multiple murders.
He couldn't work two jobs for a while and save a pile of money, and he couldn't take night classes, and he couldn't acquire associates other than hoodlums. Simply couldn't.
I, on the other hand, angry and upset that four innocent men are dead at his hand, describe Mixon as a sociopathic piece of flotsam that would have been better off strangled in his cradle than neglected, not by society, but by the people who brought him into this world and upon whom he was traditionally encouraged to rely.
Alternative headline: “Young Einstein Killed by Police!”
2001 arrested again for theft. Mixon applied for a work furlough program through the Alameda County Sheriff's department in 2001 but was turned down.
"Applicants' past case of violence could pose a threat to the program, staff and community," records documenting the denial state.
Sounds like there was more to the earlier arrests than was reported. None of them mention violence, but it's obviously in his records.
In 2002, served six years in state prison for assault with a firearm.
Paroled in 2007, he was brought in again in February 2008 as a suspect in an Alameda County murder. He was not charged for lack of evidence.
Served another nine months in state prison for parole violations involving identity theft, forgery, fraud, grand theft and other charges.
He was released in November 2008, according to state records.
On Friday, Oakland officers using DNA evidence had tentatively linked him to a February rape.
The next day, authorities say, Mixon opened fire on two officers during what appeared to be a routine traffic stop, leading to the gun fight in which two more officers died before police killed him.
He got what he deserved. It's a tragedy that he had to kill the police officers. The sad part is that this thug should be behind bars for his criminal past and not out on the streets. His rampage is sparking calls for more gun control. He broke dozens of laws just by being a felon in possession of a firearm. More laws wouldn't have changed anything.
Cycle of violence my eye. That boy had an unchecked sin problem.
Another product of the rapcrap culture!
The sob was an animal.
Truly one of the most sickening piece of Liberal insanity I have ever read.
From the time he was 18 he was committing crimes and getting breaks, in the form of light sentences. He committed a assault with a firearm and was out is 6 years, I believe.
The guy committed 4 murders, (at least, he was suspected of another), and according to the DNA, it looks like a rape last month.
He was a violent, career criminal. How dare the writer suggest that the parole officer somehow let him down, by failing to magically finding an employer foolish enough to hire this animal.
He "figured his life was over," said Todd Walker, of the Khadafy Foundation for Non-Violence, speaking on behalf of the family outside the Mixon home. "He didn't want to go to back to jail."
The Khadafy Foundation For Non-Violence. Is that like the Mugabe Institute for Economics? Or the Kim Jong Il Community development Center? There's an entirely seperate world with its own entirely opposite set of rules colliding with what we understand as civilization here. I don't understand it at all, but I do fear that if this isn't faced head-on and fixed, the future of Liberty in this country can't be assured.
His frustration? What about our frustration?
This guy couldn't go a week without breaking committing a felony, and he's the frustrated one?
This idiot was caugth for:
Crack cocaine and majijuana
Ripping off $5000 in merchandise from his local Toys R Us
Fights and violence while in prison
Assault with a firearm
Suspected in a murder
Identity theft
Forgery
Fraud
Grand Theft
Rape
This guy should have been dropped in a hole and forgotten a long time ago.
Despite the fact that his DNA has been linked to 5, possibly 6 rapes, including one victim of only 12.
But it’s not his fault...
Mixon's younger sister, Enjoli Mixon, 24, said a small makeshift memorial with flowers and a small angel had grown near the apartment where she lived, and where her brother was shot.
Local residents walked by, some snapping pictures, others shaking their head.
"I don't understand why anybody is supporting him," said Rick Schiller, 61. "I'm trying to understand the sympathy for him."
Sarc-—It wasn’t Lovelle Mixon’s fault that he killed those cops. It was the fact that he wasn’t getting enough welfare, was spanked as a child, lost in sports, wasn’t dated by the prom queen, was treated too harshly by the prison system, was harassed by the racist system, and the fact that the gun caused him to kill the cops. /sarc
This is sarcasm. Too bad, many liberals (Especially social workers and activists) would actually say this. Mixon should have been locked up.
