Oakland shooter unable to escape cycle of violence By JULIANA BARBASSA – 2 hours ago OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Lovelle Mixon died at 26, hiding in an apartment, shot by police during a gun fight that left four officers dead and stunned a city already plagued by violence. Court records show a lifetime of wrong turns spent largely behind bars. Family members, angry and upset after their loss, describe Mixon as an deeply frustrated young man who likely snapped under the weight of opportunities missed or denied.

See. It’s not his fault. he wasn’t given enough.

[TADSLOS]

Four police officers were unable to escape Mixon’s cycle of violence.

Oakland shooter unable to escape cycle of violence

Gad, what an asinine statement. He CHOSE to be violent.

[I Buried My Guns]

Gosh, he was just hiding in a closet. Why couldn't the police just leave this por man alone?

Racist bastards.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Free will, Baby. Free will.

[CASchack]

Barf Alert!

He was shot in the midst of his murderous rampage. The liberals' perspective is always from that of the criminal, not the victims or their families.

[DuncanWaring]

Oh, poor Lowell, pursued by the dreaded cycle of violence, relentless, nipping at his heels, like a pack of insatiable hyenas, day after day after day, would they never stop?

[henkster]

Interesting; no comments in the article from Mixon’s father.

If Mixon was a “victim” of anything, he is the victim of the welfare state that created him, and millions of other soulless monsters just like him. An unlimited government created artificial demand for illegitimate children has created an unlimited supply of them. Born to uneducated dependent mothers who do little or nothing to raise them, absent fathers, and no guidance, we have created an army of Mixons, male and female. The men are in and out of prison, fathering serial replacements. The women are simply breeders of the next generation.

And you are paying for all of it.

Some people just need killin’.

Unfortunately, Lovelle was not killed soon enough.

“Mixon’s younger sister, Enjoli Mixon, 24, said a small makeshift memorial with flowers and a small angel had grown near the apartment where she lived, and where her brother was shot.”

Given that this woman was apparently storing a rifle for her brother, a convicted felon out on parole; it seems to me that she ought to be too busy answering questions from the police to talk to the press.

[MrB]

ah... the poor fellow, he’s such a victim...

I can’t stand liberals. Their thought processes can be modeled by a pile of hangers stirred with a broom handle.

[Jagdgewehr]

As I predicted.

[rbg81]

You got that right—gets me sick too. All the sympathy for the perp and none for the real victims. It’s just about condoning evil really.

[Syntyr]

Yeah well... the cops stopped HIS cycle of violence!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Its them missed opportunities...

[bamahead]

The liberals' perspective is always from that of the criminal, not the victims or their families.

To the liberal, he is himself a victim.

They see our society as the evil which forced him to be violent, to 'defend' himself against being a victim. And the *real* victim's families are merely accomplices to an evil society.

It's programming, mainly courtesy of many academic institutions.

[edcoil]

“hiding in an apartment,”

How does one hide in a closet and kill four people after DNA testing confirmed he raped a 12 year old girl and was a suspect of raping other children?

[MrB]

There’s a DVD series out now called “The Truth Project”. If your church hasn’t shown it yet, inquire about it. It’s excellent.

At one point, the presenter says “If you lay out all of God’s laws on one side of a chart, then across from them you state the opposite, you’ll have a perfect list of what the world’s viewpoint is on each of the issues.”

And, the “world’s viewpoint” is simply the liberal way of looking at things. The opposite way that God sees them.

QED, liberals are evil.

[Markos33]

"nipping at his heels, like a pack of insatiable hyenas, day after day after day, would they never stop? "Lovell Mixon died at 26, hiding in an apartment"... Now the hell-hounds are on his heels.

[WayneS]

I like the “perpetrator not responsible” “spin”, right from the opening paragraph.!

Mixon was “SHOT by police” during...

...an incident that “left 4 officers dead”.

Apparently NO ONE actively killed them, they just “got dead” somehow during the “incident”.

How about: “Mixon shot and killed 4 police officers and left several wounded as he instigated a running gun battle with police which resulted in his death”.

Wouldn’t THAT be a better, more fair, assessment of the situation?

[I Buried My Guns]

Also, he was "denied opportunities".

Racist bastards!

[Travis T. OJustice]

Family members, angry and upset after their loss, describe Mixon as an deeply frustrated young man who likely snapped under the weight of opportunities missed or denied.

This stinks, like BULLSH!T.

[skimbell]

Chalk another one up to:

Poverty made him do it...!

[squarebarb]

I didn’t think even the AP would go this far.

I was wrong.

[MinuteGal]

Whatever happened to California's "three strikes and you're out" law?

Seems to me he had enough violent felonies in his background to qualify.

Was the legislation repealed....or, worse, ignored?

Leni

[LRS]

A cycle of violence

[onedoug]

What a bunch of crap.

[WayneS]

NOWHERE in that entire article does JULIANA BARBASSA actually state that this animal MURDERED four police officers.

She persistently describes them as “getting killed” or a gunfight “resulting in their deaths”.

It is positively SICKENING.

[DuncanWaring]

Now the hell-hounds are on his heels.

That would be the way to bet.

[WayneS]

Right now I’m weighing MY oprions regarding “snapping under the weight” of the oppressive regime of President Weathervane.

;^)

[WayneS]

...or even my OPTIONS...

[dfwgator]

Sounds like a job for "Bicycle Repair Man."

[SECURE AMERICA]

Family members, angry and upset after their loss, describe Mixon as an deeply frustrated young man who likely snapped under the weight of opportunities missed or denied.

Then he should have shot him self.
Instead the scumbag felt he had to take 4 productive members of society with him.

[dfwgator]

describe Mixon as an deeply frustrated young man who likely snapped under the weight of opportunities missed or denied.

Oh geez, who hasn't had missed opportunities in their life?

[Cloverfarm]

The article called the murderer “ ...deeply frustrated young man who likely snapped under the weight of opportunities missed or denied.”

No excuse. We’ve all had missed and denied opportunities and never ended up shooting anybody.

[Travis T. OJustice]

Keep your powder dry!

[MrB]

yeah, but was he a “minority”?

If so, he gets a pass.

[Travis T. OJustice]

I didn’t even notice the typo, i guess i need new glasses! Unnngh.

[JimRed]

I wonder how many of Mixon’s “homies” are celebrating the four to one kill ratio by their bro...

[WayneS]

...and my nitro-cellulose, too!

Oakland shooter unable unwilling to escape cycle of violence

Fixed it for you Juliana!

[CholeraJoe]

I wonder how many of Mixon’s “homies” are celebrating the four to one kill ratio by their bro...

Probably all of them. He'll be recognized as a martyr.

[Hacklehead]

Liberals see a poor young man who was just another victim of society. Conservatives see a career criminal with a history of violence ultimately ending in multiple murders.

[RGSpincich]

Interesting; no comments in the article from Mixon’s father.

Or the parent(s) of the 12 y.o. girl he raped repeatedly.

[Lizavetta]

He simply couldn't escape it, folks.

He couldn't work two jobs for a while and save a pile of money, and he couldn't take night classes, and he couldn't acquire associates other than hoodlums. Simply couldn't.

[IronJack]

Family members, angry and upset after their loss, describe Mixon as an deeply frustrated young man who likely snapped under the weight of opportunities missed or denied.

I, on the other hand, angry and upset that four innocent men are dead at his hand, describe Mixon as a sociopathic piece of flotsam that would have been better off strangled in his cradle than neglected, not by society, but by the people who brought him into this world and upon whom he was traditionally encouraged to rely.

Alternative headline: “Young Einstein Killed by Police!”

[Mac from Cleveland]

Well, we can’t be overly “judgmental” about guys like this—

Reserve that for people who really deserve a lifetime of abuse and misfortune as a result of their heinous actions.

Y’know, like John Rocker.....
