Of course Obama won't call Israel one of his sons, and Al Sharpton won't march.

But the news media in Miami isn't holding back--trying to create sympathy for the criminal.

No interviews that I have seen with the people whose PROPERTY WAS RUINED by Hernandez.....

Now for the record, I do NOT think he should have died over tagging...but let us remember, THE COP DID NOT TRY TO KILL HIM. A taser is not a lethal weapon

but he then showed signs of medical duress

Typical 'journalism' standards. Duress != Distress.

It’s a very liberal concept that someone else’s wall is your canvas. Also, that their version of “art” should be forced on you.

Good. Death to taggers..I hate graffiti. I can’t stand the fact that people tolerate it being all over the place.

“Duress” was the term used by the police chief, so it would be improper to change it to distress.

“I told him. I was like, 'Yo, stop,’” Souza said.

Ah, the benefits of a gangsta education.

Too many officers confuse “less lethal” with “non lethal”.

“THE COP DID NOT TRY TO KILL HIM. A taser is not a lethal weapon”

Actually, the taser IS a lethal weapon for some segment of the population...

Graffiti is not “art” (as the NY Times and other liberals try to pretend). It is the equivalent of a dog lifting its leg. It is an attack on other people and their property.

The sap who inadvertently died in this incident is lucky that he wasn’t apprehended by the property owner. I think that a just punishment would have been to make him swallow the complete contents of his spray-paint can. Naw, maybe that is to rough. Maybe just spray-paint his precious skateboard, clothes, and his family’s habitation, if they have one. Deport him back to whatever country he came from.

"No interviews that I have seen with the people whose PROPERTY WAS RUINED by Hernandez..... "

Miami Beach Police said they spotted Hernandez tagging an abandoned fast-food restaurant just after 5 a.m Tuesday morning near 71st Street at Collins Avenue.

"I do NOT think he should have died over tagging...but let us remember, THE COP DID NOT TRY TO KILL HIM."

Hernandez's friends Felix Fernandez and Thiago Souza said they were serving as lookouts when he was spotted by police. They told WSVN officers shoved Hernandez against a wall, then high-fived as he lay motionless.

Israel Hernandez. Sounds like a white Hispanic. Was the cop Black? Was this Justice for Trayvon?

“The City of Miami Beach would like to extend their condolences to the family of Israel Hernandez,” the statement said..."And, we would also like to suggest that the parents of Miami be better parents, and maintain a tighter control over their young hoodlums."

No sympathy. I despise graffiti “artists” and taggers.

A taser is not a lethal weapon

I beg to differ.
