Schwarzenegger’s shameful last act (this will make your blood boil)
http://michellemalkin.com/ ^ | 1/03/11 | Michelle Malkin

Retiring celebrity governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California was bad for the GOP in so many ways, I’ve stopped counting them.

So, how did Schwarzenegger leave office? By committing one last shameful act of back-scratching politics as usual and granting a commutation to the son of a Democrat political crony, former California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez (his longtime collaborator on job-killing environmental regulations) .

California is well represented by the likes of Arnold, Boxer, and assorted other far left America haters.

When asked to comment, Ahnold stated “It’s not like he drove a girl off a bridge or sumpting”.

What did everyone expect. He’s married to a democrat.

Arnold is in the 95%.

Would you believe that Michelle Malkin actually insists that Obama is constitutionally qualified to be President? Now that’s unquestionably shameful. Michelle has compromised her personal integrity and should retire from the public arena.

This is what Arnold has to say about his action:

I hope to God the term limit laws in California apply to lifetime “service” and not just consecutive terms, so the girlyman austrian socialist won’t be bachkkkkkkkkk in the Governor’s chair ever again.
Yeah, Schwarzenegger's done. Term limits was passed after Brown was governor, so he gets another couple of shots at destroying the state.

Yeah, I hear you. Nunez does look all broken up there, listening to the victims families. That is, if a self satisfied smug look is "broken up".

Here's a couple of more, earlier photos grabbed from the web. They were lifted off of the smirking little thug's facebook page, before he deleted them. Notice the knife action, and what looks like blood on the floor.

Making like he's going to stab the cat...

The boy's got a thing for knives.

Worst California Governor EVER! Political paypack for a former Speaker of the California House?

Whatssamatta' with the Ahnold? He can't find someone more deserving to have their sentence commuted? Surely, this is like a slap in the face to some of the others who have sought pardon through that office, but were denied.

The sentence was already plea bargained down, so the direct witnesses accounts didn't make it to trial(?). Would those witnesses have put the knife in Nunez's hand?

Did the Ahnold do due diligence when researching this question? Or, did he just listen to "one side" of the story?

I hope the prosecutors leak the witness statements. And do it soon, like NOW.

This is important. We don't want a Governor to not be allowed to commute an unjust sentence, or one with particular extenuating circumstance, but we DO NOT want the circumstance to be one chiefly of political connection.

So leak already, San Diego prosecutors. SPILL THE BEANS.

Wow. That kid is a real POS. I guess Arnie should get his spin ready for when this punk inevitably is released and kills again.

It does not seem that this idiot is wired right. And Nunez has a lot of problems too.

"People need somebody to watch over them.... Ninety-five percent of the people in the world need to be told what to do and how to behave."

Telling. However Ron and Rand Paul may be the only two politicians in America who don't believe this. Certainly, most conservatives believe it just as strongly as the Left does.

Reading another article on the Nuñez commutation, I’m not entirely outraged when I take politics out of the case. He wasn’t the person who made the fatal stabbing, just someone involved in the fight. He plead out to manslaughter yet received exactly the same 16 year sentence as the murderer. He had anticipated 7 to 11 years but the judge gave identical 16 year sentences. Arnold went for 7 which I’m sure was a political favor. Would Nuñez have gotten this commutation nearer the deal he struck if he wasn’t Fabian’s son? Likely not but did being Fabian’s son influence the judge to punish him disproportionately to his involvement? It’s possible and that would be wrong. I’d probably have left the case alone in Arnold’s shoes.

Here is the punk murderer on the left.

Actually(!), the "punk murderer" was Ryan Jett. It was his stabbing that killed the victim. Nuñez was just involved in the altercation and had plead to manslaughter yet got the same sentence as murderer Jett.

Facts can be stubborn things. To be honest, I have a hard time believing 16 years is all Jett got. That's a pitiful sentence.

I see Brown is getting ready to appoint former State Senaturd Laird of Santa Cruz head of the resources agency!!! (saw it on Rtumble.com yesterday)

That's even "sicker" and potentially much more damaging to CA than the disgusting sentence commuting by trojan horse Arnholed Schwartzenrenegger!!!

Between that Commie Camilla and lousy Laird, we'll REALLY have GANG-GREEN finishing off CA!!!

“On the way back, Murray testified, Nunez told him he had stabbed someone in the shoulder and that Jett stabbed someone, too. Santos bled to death, another young man was stabbed in the back and stomach, a third was stabbed in the shoulder and a fourth was punched in the eye.

The following day, Murray testified that he watched Nunez and Jett attempt to burn a bloody shirt down by the Sacramento River. Garcia was also there at the time.” LA Weekly Sept. 18, 2009

I know the “facts” may get in the way out in Cali were there is absolutely no law and order, but here in PA the above described acts of Nunez places him squarely identified as a murderer.

He acted to commit a felony crime with an accomplice and made attempts to cover it up and did not notify the authorities. It does not matter a wit which of the youts knife blade was fatal, they all are responsible. If you rob a bank with a partner and your partner kills the teller, you are up for murder one with the partner.

No, the facts were gathered, investigation completed, and this little pampered well connected son of a bitch was sentenced to 16 years in prison for his role in this.

There are no problems with the facts or law and order, as California has some of the toughest criminal sentencing laws in the entire country, tougher than PA in fact.

It took a single Republican/foreigner to turn that sentence around. This specific case was corrupted and undermined by those insiders within government.

Big surprise huh?
