From Doug McIntyre:
While the mayor and City Council may have done nothing, Pedro Espinoza has been very busy.
Since killing Jamiel Shaw II authorities say he's added five new felonies to his resume, including slashing a handcuffed man in the face with a razor, assaulting a sheriff's deputy, instigating a riot - all this while awaiting trial!
How much grief, how many ruined lives, how many expenses has this rat inflicted on the good people of Los Angeles?
Jan Perry and Bernard Parks don't care. There will be other Pedro Espinozas because of them.
Perry, who has delusions of being mayor, panders for Hispanic votes by opposing the "Secure Communities" law that requires cities and counties to turn over fingerprint data of arrestees so Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) can verify a suspect's immigration status.
She also cynically assumes Hispanic voters support illegal immigration and the harboring of criminal aliens, which is nonsense and a pernicious stereotype.
Bernard Parks, the former LAPD chief, also opposes "Secure Communities" and sees it as a threat to Special Order 40, the disastrous policy that encourages and enables the Pedro Espinozas of the world to come here.
While L.A. County Sheriff Lee Baca calls "Secure Communities" an important tool to keep our streets safe, Parks said, "From what I can read of the program, a high percentage of those who are being deported have not necessarily committed the most serious crimes."
In Bernie's World, does someone have to rape and kill before we can deport them?
Jan Perry, Bernard Parks, Herb Wesson and nearly the entire leadership of Los Angeles not only don't care about the outrage perpetrated on the Shaw family - they are the outrage.
Why am I the one who can't sleep at night?
