LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Los Angeles police Friday announced the arrests of two suspects in connection with the shooting deaths of two Chinese graduate students who attended the University of Southern California.
LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said authorities initiated two arrests and search warrants about 4:30 p.m. Friday.
The first suspect was identified by Beck as 20-year-old Bryan Barnes, who authorities say, lives near USC.
Police also arrested 19-year-old Javier Bolden of Palmdale, who is suspected of being an accomplice in the April 11, shooting deaths of Ming Qu and Ying Wu, both 23.
According to Beck, the murders sent shockwaves around the world, KNX 1070′s reported.
“Forensic evidence that was recovered at the scene of the double homicide linked that homicide to two attempt murders in the city of Los Angeles,” Beck said.
“Both Bolden and Barnes were connected to those other two attempt homicides. In addition to that, material evidence which was recovered during this investigation directly linked our victims to both suspects,” he added.
The electrical engineering students were fatally shot about 1 a.m. during a downpour while sitting in Qu’s recently purchased 2003 BMW, which was double-parked in the 2700 block of Raymond Avenue.
Wu was found in the passenger seat and Qu on the steps of a nearby house where he collapsed while trying to summon help, police said.
“These arrests today can’t bring back those lost lives but the efforts of the LAPD in tracking down suspects of such heinous crimes will allow justice to be served,” said Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
The suspects, who were being held without bail, have been booked into 77th Street Jail for murder.
They are expected to be arraigned on Tuesday.
USC President C. L. Max Nikias issued a statement Friday evening. “On behalf of the entire Trojan family, I wish to convey my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and the City of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck and the talented and hardworking team of LAPD investigators. They shared our outrage at this senseless and singular act and worked passionately to reach a resolution. The arrest of the suspects in the tragic deaths of our graduate students, Ying Wu and Ming Qu, begins the process of healing and of closing a painful chapter in the life of our community. We will always mourn the loss of Ying and Ming, but find comfort in the hope of achieving justice.”
Actually the website is attacking that idea. It is set up to make black claims for reparations look stupid (which they are).
Read “Chinese Girl In the Ghetto” to see how Asians are treated by Blacks in this country. Sickening.
That’s some pretty amazing stuff right there.
* It's actually more, but I'm rounding down.
I used to think that it was a myth that the 50's (and even the 60's) was much safer. However, if San Diego PD's stats are to be believed, per capita violent crime was in fact much lower 50 years ago; better emergency medical care has turned many shooting and stabbing incidents that would have become murder cases back in the 1950's into aggravated assault cases today. In 2006, per capita robberies were 6x what they were in 1950. Per capita aggravated assaults (shootings, stabbings) were 15x.
They fart around throughout all their years of free education, learning nothing of value, then resent their fate.
They are so thoroughly ignorant they aren't able to comprehend how much they don't know.
It's a combination of ignorance, an excessive sense of self-worth and the mentality of predators in the wild (i.e. what they see, they harvest, whether it's somebody else's property, life or whatever).
The yellow press doesn't want to stir up a race war. The Democrats are on the wrong side of the weapons equation for that. They just want a media-censored asymmetric race war. It's an election year and they need to agitate just one side for the voter turnout.
Not per se, as I read it. The litany is to characterize a racial murder as a "reparations protest" that turned violent due to the unwillingness of the "reparations denier" to commit to the necessity of such. The murderer is then lauded as a "reparations protestor" being unjustly persecuted for the events which are entirely due to the guilt of the "reparations denier".
Upon what do you base that interpretation?
That’s what the reputed editor is claiming on his own blog:http://peopleagainstshittycop.wordpress.com/2012/03/22/is-this-a-courageous-black-foot-soldier-forced-to-defend-self-against-an-unrepentant-reparations-offender-is-this-their-definition-of-it-peopleagainstshittycop-wants-to-know/ Look at the second story on the page.
Then again, that doesn’t claim to be his blog after all!

I think a retired Gurkha would be even more entertaining in his response.
But, if there is stonewalling on PC grounds, after enough of these black-instigated hate crimes against the Chinese, look for things to get fairly nasty, fairly quickly. From what I am told, many asiatics are *quite* racist towards "persons of color" and they have no sense of liberal guilt as a holdover from slavery in the U.S.
Hint: The Chinese don't screw around: what they did during the Great Leap Forward would cow even MS-13.
NO Cheers, unfortunately.
