A Pasadena police officer fatally shot a man today after the victim reportedly point a gun at him, police said. Two officers were dispatched to the Hacienda Isbell Apartments, around 12:30 p.m., after residents reported that a man was firing a gun in the apartment courtyard. Officials did not release the identification of the victim, who was pronounced dead at 2:07 p.m. at Memorial Hermann Hospital. The victim is believed to have been in his 20s, according to Pasadena Police spokesman Martin DeLeon.
When the officers arrived at the scene they went to an apartment where nine Hispanic men were drinking, DeLeon said. One of the men inside the apartment allegedly pointed a gun at one of the officers, he said. The officer then fired at least twice, striking the man in the chest, DeLeon said. Witnesses told police the victim is the same man who was seen shooting in the courtyard earlier. The other eight men in the apartment were taken into custody for questioning.
"They're just pointing guns at police officers no one else wants to point guns at..."
You are correct, sir!
Our gangbangers are asleep at the wheel, too much MTV and BET for them. We must import large amounts of foreign lawbreakers to keep the police busy.
I blame the Jews.
The headline is confusing...it begs the question, what else could he have shot him with? Kudos to the officer for superb shooting skills in the face of danger. Next time, amigos, no apunten la pistola al policía. Así se queda vivo.
"...Hacienda Isbell Apartments..."
Even the names of apartment complexes in our country attract illegals. Close the borders NOW.

Good observation...didn't see that, stupid me. If the officer were to have died, he would have been a well-deserving cadaver? Idiot journalists.
cops must have been gringo imperialists.
what the heck...they were just here to cut grass, drink and point guns at cops.
lets give amnesty to another 30 million or so....no biggie...family values being so universal and all.
i always hated "anglo" culture anyhow....slavery and all ..
blah...blah ...blah.....where's the FR La Raza crowd?
they're late!
C'mon, Mene, the LSM is just trying to make certain that we morons understand ALL the ''facts''.
;^)
What?? You are not blaming Bush!
You must be a B. Boxer and Teddy "Water torture" Kennedy fan.
I'm guessing if it were a white perp you'd put that in your header?
Don't worry. With that title, I expect at least one of the three amigos to show up and explain why this is all the fault of us lazy Americans.
BTTT
Where have you been dear?
it's just not interesting when whites are killed by anyone unless they are celebrities or pregnant and the perp hires a glamour lawyer.
now if a minority is killed by a white cop or citizen, the fun starts.
we have a new Cincinnati thread right now here on that very form of entertaiment.
we really are living in a Bonfire of the Vanities world...like a bad movie but a good book..lol
funniest post of the day. Well done.
That's law enforcement. The police didn't stop to complain about immigrants or blame President Bush. Houston police treated a crime as a crime, not an immigration situation.
If the man had killed a police officer and survived, we would have executed him.
If California and certain other cities would follow suite they wouldn't have as much a crime problem either.
I don't understand the point you are trying to make. It doesn't make any difference if he was an illegal alien or not, anyone who points a gun at a police officer is going to get shot. Me, you, anyone.
How's your ticker, honey? Missed you, too! (Honest)
I just get pissed off about these type of threads. I have cousins who are LEO's who happen to be ethnic. I guess that's important when reporting a story.
lol.....someone will be called bigot or racist within 50 posts.
and one of the sanctimonious three amigos will run to the AM to cry "Mommy!!!!"
to be fair though....there are a few very decent freepers who disagree with me on this la Migra contention in varying degrees and I regret that.....and before they get cranked up...there are threads and pics on this forum documenting my physical and monetary support for W but I have the right to disagree with him a bit....nobody is perfect...not even Dubbers....he is way off on this...IMHO.
as for the high and mighty...well...it's like ducks in a barrel ain't it?
They called the guy a "victim" about 10 times in the article.
I'm interested to know if they've ever stood on a street corner at dawn with the wetbacks, looking for work.
For a mostly enlightened forum, I'm surprised at the hateful invective levelled at the illegal aliens from Mexico. There is no illegal alien crime wave taking place in our state that they're responsible for, other than not being papered. Crime ain't gonna drop drastically by closing the borders.
That said, dude got what he was asking for. Good shot, officer.
I can tell you that several of them are in Texas because I've met them.
My ticker is ok......one year anniversary today.
For the record....I have nothing against ethnic cops. I actually like most cops these days. They are my friends.....never thought I'd say that back in my long haired Marley days in the early 70s..lol
I'm Southern provincial. I would be deemed ethnic myself at most fancy giddyups in Manhattan or the Left Coast.....like a very clumsy Crocodile Dundee sans the wit and charm. My daughters being half Brasilian are ethnic I suppose.
BTW....I wholeheartedly support blanket amnesty for all foreign Miss Universe or Miss World or any other beauty contestant or if they have been on a decent mag cover or just shave under their arms.
I am not a complete Xenophobe.

don't say "wetdack".....you can get banned by JR.....trust me.
for some reason, the Fresno folks really don't like that word.
You missed one thread the other day --- we're never supposed to guess a criminal might be from a country like Mexico that has a high rate of violence in it --- you're supposed to suspect that these criminals are from the American hispanics who have been here for many many generations. In fact it's somehow racist to think they could be of the recently immigrated bunch instead of one of those long time American hispanics.
That is the email address of the author of the article.
Yet Cesar Chavez himself often used that same word, even in interviews. And the Mexican press calls them "mojados" which is the same thing. I wonder if calling yankees "snowbirds" can get you banned?
LOL You and Papa-Okie, he loves those Miss Universe gals.
I'm glad your ticker is doing good! Blessings to you and your chillen from a fellow ethnic (read Sothrener.)
I learned my lesson --- boy --- I suspect these criminals had to have come from one of those non-immigrant hispanic families --- maybe from northern New Mexico -- maybe the Santa Fe area. Thinking that way I can't be called a racist --- because even though "race" of the criminals isn't in question --- it's only racist if you think they could have come from Mexico.
folks call me redneck....inbred....or neo-confederate or bigot or racist or unenlightened ..all the time around here.
i have steeled my rather sensitive nature to accept such slings and arrows as flattery.
I think it means...the policeman shot a Hispanic man that was welding a gun...
But I could be wrong.....
Pointing a weapon at someone is a good way to get hurt. Especially in Texas.
Thank You.
God bless.
I'm part Pottawatomie and a Gemini..
If the man had killed a police officer and survived, we would have executed him.
Well, I'm currently in New Jersey (Hudson County, Jihad Central, USA) and born and raised in NYC.
And one thing that changed for me on 9/11/01 was my reversal of my open borders conservatism.
"You are not blaming Bush!"
Of course not. Sr. Bush, he's more pro-Mexican than Sr. Fox. Fox wants to get rid of the Mexicans and Bush wants to take them im.
I used to live in Orange & Riverside Counties in SoCal....So I have a reasonably real and I'd say valid opinion.
Although I can't give you facts and figures...I'd bet you a hundred hedge apples..that crime in SoCal would drop if the borders were effectively closed.
FRegards,
Thanks jack!
I'll be here all week!
Wrong. You might want to take a look at some statistics in that regard. One of the worst offenders ever in Texas was an illegal. Rafael Resendez-Ramirez.
Mexican and South American gangs have likely already hooked up with the IslamoNarcoNazis. The hispanic gangs will do anything for money. Anything. These groups already have people all over America. Gangs like the Mexican Mafia are very powerful and if they ever make deals with the moslems inside and outside our prisons we are going to have serious problems.
One major concern today is that the hispanic gangers would shoot MANPADS at commercial airliners. It's likely they have the devices in the US already. It's almost impossible to stop someone with one of thse devices.
After 9/11 we should have shut down our borders with our military. Not doing so was a huge mistake.
FReegards (and, yes, GOOD shot, officer!)
Well, what did you expect the officer to shoot him with?
A PEZ dispenser?
There is some additional crime here in Nashville from the illegals who now outnumber blacks in metro Nashville...gangs and whatnot as well. I'm not sure I would call it a wave but it is problematic.
My issue and I will say it quite plainly:
I am a descendent of the Europeans who settled this nation and stole it or bought it from everyone else and I have no desire to nor feel any misguided and foolhardy alruistic impulse to relinquish that to Mexican campesinos or anyone else from anywhere else in the world....except the aforementioned Miss Universe contestants.
Nor am I aware of any other nation in the world where the predominate culture would wish to be diluted to a plurality at most as a noble gesture. This sort of thing usually results from being conquered and the males slaughtered and the women lamenting and all that.
Now that is my view. Folks can call me what they like. I live in the real world.....a little "huddled masses goes a long ways"....our founding fathers never had that fall on the sword demographically idea. That was been lifted from 19th century lore fostered by recent immigrants at that time who even then had more in common culturally with the host than the current crops.
Worse yet.....why in the Sam Hades are we letting all these Moon Rock Nazis in....they are not just more cultural friction....they are for the most part anathema to our freedom.
rant off
PS: NRT lives amongst the illegals here in Nashville...ask him.
"Redneck" is acceptable --- I see it all the time. You just need to get your dictionary of political correctness. Snowbird for yankees, redneck for southerners, hicks is okay because that means rural folks. I've used the insult racial slur words "gringo" and "anglo" but I didn't get banned for them. You can call French frogs and monkeys and that's okay.
Please! Please! Simply acknowledge that "Our Diversity Is Our Strength!" Given the news of increasing incidents involving Diverse Ones our strength is growing daily.
Illegals from Mexico are not only the more innocent and harmless "wetbacks" looking for work --- there are many who are part of the narco-trafficking organized crime rings of Mexico and that kind is very dangerous and violent. There are many coming in who never did farm work in their whole life --- coming from the slums of Mexico City who never saw a bale of hay or would ever plan to help load them into a truck. In fact --- Mexico destroyed it's farms about 15 years ago --- you won't find that many Mexicans under 20 anymore who grew up on farms and will do that kind of work. Even the illegals who do farm work will tell you that --- their 15 year younger brothers and cousins want to come here --- but they don't want to do farm work.
That's law enforcement. The police didn't stop to complain about immigrants or blame President Bush. Houston police treated a crime as a crime, not an immigration situation.
If the man had killed a police officer and survived, we would have executed him.
If California and certain other cities would follow suite they wouldn't have as much a crime problem either.
Well stated.

That would explain the ridiculous numbers of Ecuadorians who visit my office building every day. There is some consulate office in it. Many of these people seem to have been airlifted directly from the rural areas of Ecuador, it is very hard to comprehend how they made it all the way from Ecuardor to Jersey City without ever once seeing an elevator or a revolving door. They are hillbillies pure and simple, and I can only guess that after their "paperwork" is "regularized" that they are shipped directly to some US farms, presumably to never have to wrestle with a "spinny door" again.
Oh well, back to the old tag line.
