Not ‘Senseless’ At All (Mixon)
National Review ^ | March 31, 2009 | Jack Dunphy

Posted on 03/31/2009 6:33:03 AM PDT by reaganaut1

“He’s nice, he’s kind, he’s sweet . . .”

So said Enjoli Mixon of her brother Lovelle, the killer of four Oakland police officers. “We’re all shocked by this,” she told reporters.

She shouldn’t be. Nor should anyone who knew Lovelle Mixon be at all surprised that he met his violent end on March 21. As is often the case in such violent crimes, many have called the murders “senseless.” They were actually anything but senseless. Indeed, but for the scale of the carnage Mixon inflicted before he died, it was an utterly predictable culmination to an utterly misspent life.

That afternoon, just after one o’clock, Mixon was driving down MacArthur Boulevard in East Oakland when he was stopped by two Oakland Police Department motorcycle officers, Sergeant Mark Dunakin and Officer John Hege. As the officers inspected his driver’s license, Mixon sprang from the car with a semiautomatic pistol and shot both of them. Then, as the officers lay wounded and helpless on the pavement, Mixon walked up, stood over them, and shot them again. Both officers died from their wounds. Neither of them so much as drew his own weapon.

...

Police officers are quite accustomed to hearing even the most reprehensible behavior rationalized by criminals and excused by their friends and families, but Mixon’s deadly crime spree has inspired an almost farcical orgy of such rationalizations and excuses. Family members blamed Mixon’s parole officer for not finding him a job and for missing a scheduled appointment. Corrections officials describe these claims as absurd, saying Mixon had missed three scheduled visits from his parole officer before a warrant was issued for his arrest.

I have such utter contempt for most of the inner city black communities these days. They can all go to hell as far as I’m concerned. But of course, three weeks from now, there will be another black-on-black murder in Los Angeles or somewhere and some fat black mama will be wailing on national tv about all the violence, and we’ll be told we should have sympathy for them. Screw them.

Hmmm. I wonder if there is any connection between this and the run on guns and ammunition? Yea, I wonder...

An excellent article that says things you will never see reported in the MSM. I still don't see why someone as violent and dangerous as Mixon was given parole in the first place.(I know the system is corrupt). What the article doesn't mention is that all the people who support these criminals are sponging off the taxpayers and have everything given to them and feel they are entitled. This is where your tax dollars are going.

Mixon was an animal, and the media attempts in liberal rags to humanize him are a disgrace. I’ll let the NY Slimes agonize over Mixon’s fate. Me? I spent the weekend thanking every police officer I saw for their service and asked them to “be careful out there.”

“kind”? “sweet”?...

This POS savage was a stone killer and it’s good that he is dead. I side with the poster who said he is over the black “community”. I deal with future Mixon’s in the public schools. My advice? Arm yourselves.

Last week, Uhuru members organized a march through the East Oakland neighborhood ... to extol the bravery and manifold other virtues of their “brother Lovelle.” That they were able to do so unmolested by their fellow citizens is a measure of how morally diseased the neighborhood is.

Thank you LBJ.

There's entire areas, not just 'a' neighborhood, in big cities that should be declared a Free Fire War Zone and Carpet Bombed into oblivion. As this article states the (cough) 'parents' of these gang banging scum are gang bangers themselves.

Baghdad is safer than most areas of Chicago. And Mayor Daley just coddles these cretins. When something like this happens there's always an investigation into the cops actions. And a HUGH press conference on how its 'the gun's fault'. And why? ..because this low life scum votes.

"He was a good boy. He was turning his life around and wanted to go back to school. He even had a job interview, 'tomorrow'."
And you can replace Chicago with OAKLAND, Philly, LA, NY, Atlanta, etc, etc, etc. and its still the same. Coddle the criminal's family who are criminals themselves. Utterly sickening.

0bama’s Fault . . . 0 promised to pay his mortgage and buy his gasoline but planned a European holiday instead . . . and failed to invite Mixon to go along.

0bama’s Totalitarian Fault.

In the Bay Area, they haven’t shut up since it happened. Only the Liberal MSM is even listening to them.

Ted Nugent said it best — “I don’t want repeat offenders....I want DEAD offenders.”
