SWAT tragedy is national news

The story of the SWAT standoff in which a member of LA's very finest lost his life this morning is everywhere, including the New York Times.

The tragedy unfolded overnight in the Valley community of Winnetka, the LA Times reported. Officer Randy Simmons, 51, died at about 1 a.m.

It's the first LA SWAT team member to lose a life in the call of duty. The Daily News describes the perp as "a gang member with mental health issues."

UPDATE: If you click one, click the Daily News's. It's a masterpiece of reporting, stitched together by a handful of reporters, that not only reports the news but anticipates every possible issue going forward.

I think we have a Mayor with mental health issues. He can't see the link between Special Order 40, Sanctuary City, Central American gangs and thousands of unnecessary crimes committed each year in LA.

I hate when our damn politicans use any tragedy for their own photo op. Now we have in Daily News dumb ass Dennis Zine telling the media stories. I can't believe Ramona posted this on the LA Slimes blog on the issue.

.....And now Mayor Villaraigosa, the City Council, John Mack and all the other political hacks will attend this funeral to make it look like they really cared...which they did not.God Bless our LAPD

Why did the Council and Mayor just reappoint that Ripston woman to her city commission post? Are they so afraid the leftists will go after them for it? She's kept Skid Row looking as it has for years, accusing the cops of harassing the homeless. she's nothing but an obstacle.

What's unbelievable is that all the council members and Mayor were yelling about the May 1st incident and slamming LAPD even though NOT one person was seriously injured or killed. YET, an LAPD veteran officer is killed in the line of duty and they act as if its business as usual. WHERE IS ALL THE YELLLING AT THE GANG BANGER WHO KILLED AN OFFICER YOU FUCKERS!!!!! WHERE IS THE PROTEST FROM YOU ASSHOLES!!!!

Stupid LA media will probably have Brittney Spears as its lead story. LA media is just like the National Enquirer. They waste air time showing Britteny driving causing havoc all over LA and think that's news worthy. This sad story should be their lead story and given ample air time. We should all e-mail and call if they don't keep this officer's death alive in the news.

Britney Spears is not a distraction. That's what politics, and America's national bipolar disorder, is for. Her current boyfriend, photographer Adnan Ghalib, is a British Pakistani who "earned his expertise in weaponry fighting abroad in Afghanistan, Kosovo and Macedonia." Billy Bush, the co-host of Access Hollywood, is George W Bush's first cousin. Not only will John McCain be the Republican nominee, he could have been the Democratic nominee as well, since he was "very close" to crossing the aisle in 2001. Ann Coulter has pledged to campaign for Hillary Clinton, and Rush Limbaugh has defended both Clinton and Barack Obama by acknowledging no substantial difference on "national security" between them and the Bush legacy. In his words, "they are not going to surrender the country to Islamic radicalism or the war in Iraq." Obama's vague sermonizing about the future recalls Jacques Vallee's messengers of deception, and how the "space brothers" have yet to tell us one thing we don't know, and have yet to make good on a single promise. If the Spears' drama distracts from the Audacity of Remulak, then perhaps, when you think about it, it's not such a bad thing. Oh yeah.

Speaking of election thefts, here is an article that came out the day of the California primary, reporting on the last poll before the voting booths opened, a Zogby poll, showing Obama ahead by a whopping 13%! Not only that, the poll was a running poll, meaning they polled samples over time to see what kind of momentum was building right up until the election. John Zogby himself is quoted in the article saying Obama had the momentum, meaning his lead was increasing.

Isn't it interesting how the result in California is almost exactly opposite the polls. Clinton won by something close to 15%. That's a flip of almost 30%.

Folks, we can't say this year's (s)election isn't entertaining!

Your blog headline should be

"Mexican Illegal Immigration tragedy is again national news"

Just read the L.A. Times Homicide report and it's 90% mexican gang members responsible for the homicides.

Even Monrovia which is a small San Gabriel valley town is now having problems with mexican street gangs, shootings and murders.

California will soon be just be like Tijuana, with high crime and corrupt mexican politicians.

We need quick and tough new immigration enforcement.

Is it ok to say "God Please Bless those Officers, their families and their LAPD families for their dedication to serving and protecting us?

No you can't say that. References to God were banned with the N-word last year. Sorry.
