I just love all of the insulated, sheltered middle class gang experts here. Such interesting reads…

Uh, that’s definitely not the raised level of discourse I’ve been hoping for.

Surefire – you’re a ridiculous asshole and wouldn’t know a fact if it kicked you in the balls.

Sure Fire,

What they were responding to is your opinion. Those are not facts.

Every stat shows you don’t know what you’re talking about Reg. Same as Mavis can’t back up her stupidity neither can you. Facts are facts, use your leftist viewss to dispute but don’t use facts.

I appreciate Poplockerone’s respect and respect him in return for the passion he brings to his law enforcement work—even though we regularly disagree.

On the issue of children, I can understand your objections. I never include children in a story lightly as I am very, very mindful that there can be collateral consequences.

Alex Sanchez’s kids have been to every legal proceeding and, to my knowledge, have been to most of the public events along with cousins and other family members. (Sanchez has a large and very close and supportive family.) I’m guessing their mom has allowed this because it seems to be steadying to the kids to be part of the efforts about his defense, rather than being stuck at home worrying. This seems to be particularly true of the 15-year-old.

As a consequence, they have been photographed before, by people other than me.

I did my best to treat the boys and the girl cousin in my post with care and with a very light touch. Whether I succeeded, or should have portrayed them at all is, of course, a judgment call. Yet, they are really nice and amazingly dignified kids in the midst of what has to feel like the worst of nightmares. Documenting that, to me, validates, not diminishes or harms them. But again, this is an intuitive judgment call, and one that skates an edge, to be sure. And I can completely understand that someone else might not feel it is the right one.

“minorities mostly get a pass and everyone knows it.”

I think this says it all. Just the kind of view you want from somebody policing LA.

“he scares the shit out of the left and the media is run by the left”

We love Rush because he makes the rightwing look totally loony and alienates normal people – and the notion that the media is run by “the left” is a totally dipshit canard.

I say “Ms. Fremon” out of great respect. Like addressing a school teacher of police officer.

Of course. Celeste and us gals have a name for you ….pussy.
