Exclusive: Suspect in Sacramento mass shooting was out of prison despite 10-year term
The Sacramento Bee ^ | April 5, 2022 | BY SAM STANTON

Smiley Allen Martin, the second man arrested in the wake of Sunday’s mass shooting in Sacramento that killed six, has a criminal record stretching to 2013 and last year was the subject of a plea by Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert’s office that he not win early release from prison, where he was serving a 10-year sentence for domestic violence and assault with great bodily injury.

Despite a two-page letter to the Board of Parole Hearings urging that Martin remain in custody, he won his release and was in Sacramento on Saturday night recording himself on a Facebook Live video brandishing a handgun hours before the shooting.

On Tuesday, Sacramento police arrested Martin, 27, at a hospital after he was injured in the shooting. He faces charges of possession of a machine gun and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. A law enforcement source confirmed the machine gun is a handgun that was found at the scene Sunday that had been converted to be capable of firing as an automatic weapon.

Has Bloomberg, Newsome, Gabby Giffords, or Lil' Boss Hogg make a statement yet? Thoughts and prayers are not enough, right?

That giant flushing sound you hear is this story going down.

I still haven’t seen no pictures of the perp... I wonder why?

Never mind, I know damn well why. It’s a certain criminal class that must be coddled and protected even when they kill a bunch of people.

Newsome is promising to crack down on gun owners after this shooting. Not criminals, just gun owners.

Long criminal history, sent to prison for domestic violence and great bodily injury, out on parole.

Nothing surprising here, move along.

There is a federal stature for felons with guns.
It should apply here! And in many, many cases.
But it is rarely enforced.

All marijuana users should be banned, and have additional charges if found with a gun. But that’s incredibly rarely enforced.

A Glock, most likely. There's an auto-sear that'll convert a Glock into full-auto fire that's easily available on-line. It had been marketed for airsoft guns. For a while, you could buy it on Amazon.

Full-auto Glocks are popping up all over the place.

Domestic violence and animal abuse are huge red flags for future violence.

These parole board members who release violent and dangerous criminal should be arrested for complicity in subsequent crimes committed by the released felon.
