Burning Atlanta

There's a history of this insanity going on. When gang members kill other gang members not a lot of people are losing sleep over it. But when innocent people are gunned down because they're the wrong color in the wrong place then there's an understandable uproar. The last incident I recall had to do with a young black girl who was murdered. Lots of political speechs and there was some concerted action by law enorcement, including ICE, but it seems all too little all too late. What compounds the outrage in this incident is that the ALLEGED perp is an illegal who should have been deported if law enforcement did its job. Expect some finger pointing.

WHY? Damn. I'd put up the wrong link.

Police say Pedro Espinoza, the 19-year-old suspect arrested in Shaw's death, has been in a street gang since he was 12. Until this month, he had been in jail on charges of exhibiting a firearm and obstructing an officer, MyFOXLA.com reports.

Immigration officials told the TV station that Espinoza is an illegal immigrant, but no red flags were raised when he was released from jail March 1.

"The system is not 100 percent," Lori Haley, a spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, told the station. Was this piece of shit released from city or county lock-up? I've seen where it makes a difference.

Shaw's mother, Army Sgt. Anita Shaw, had been serving in Iraq but returned home when her son was killed. She is slated to redeploy to Iraq to finish her second tour of duty despite dozens of letters sent to her Army supervisors asking for an exemption. Ain't that some crap? Mom's over in Iraq and her son is killed here. Read a couple of stories where vets returned from combat duty and were killed here by illegals. Sickening.
