The news is very slow to give us an update this morning. This is when I really miss having Kirby Wilber on KVI radio in the morning. His show would of been buzzing this morning.
Then he went up on the child rape charges made bail and his family claimed he was not in his right mind claiming he was God/Messiah and talking other “jibber common to those having pyschotic episodes”.
Common to sudden Jihad syndrome.
Sudden jihad syndrome never erupts in isolation, but results from a steady diet of antisemitic, anti-Zionist, anti-Christian, and anti-American incitement fed by Islamist mosques, schools, voluntary associations, and media.
It’s just first light now. I think they will go in soon.
“This should put an end to Huckabee’s presidential ambitions for good.”
I hope so...
7:08 A.M. UPDATE MONDAY Pierce County Sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer said Seattle police have searched the Seattle house and did not locate suspect Maurice Clemmons. There is a warrant out for his arrest on four murder charges. The neighborhood is still locked down.

Some more info on Huckabee .........
“Clemmons had been in jail in Pierce County for the past several months on a pending charge of second-degree rape of a child. He was released from custody just six days ago, even though was staring at seven additional felony charges in Washington state.
Clemmons posted $15,000 with a Chehalis company called Jail Sucks Bail Bonds. The bondsman, in turn, put up $150,000, securing Clemmons’ release on the pending child-rape charge.
When Clemmons received the 60-year sentence, he was already serving 48 years on five felony convictions and facing up to 95 more years on charges of robbery, theft of property and possessing a handgun on school property. Records from Clemmons’ sentencing described him as 5-foot-7 and 108 pounds. The crimes were committed when he was 17.
Clemmons served 11 years before being released.
News accounts say Huckabee commuted Clemmons’ sentence, citing Clemmons’ young age at the time the crimes were committed.
“His relative stated that he was saying that the secret service was coming to get him because he had written a letter to the President. She stated his behavior has become unpredictable and erratic. She suspects he is having a mental breakdown,” the report says.
Deputies also interviewed other family members. They reported that Clemmons had been saying he could fly and that he expected President Obama to visit to “confirm that he is Messiah in the flesh.”
Hmmmmmmmmm
At about 7:20 a.m. Monday, police entered the home. Clemmons was not inside.
Troyer said several other people suspected of helping Clemmons have been detained and more may be taken into custody in Seattle and Pierce County.

I was afraid that might be the case.
They had to act on what they had, regardless of how it turned out.
The murdering scum WILL be found and dealt with.
So, scores of police officers were tied down all night long outside an empty house. I agree, they had no choice but to wait it out, but who knows where the suspect could be by now?
It appears that his friends and associates have been more than willing to aid and abet his escape. They should all be sent to prison for a long time as an example.
Thanks for keeping us posted. Guess there’s still work to do since he’s not been found. I am sure they will not relent in the search. Eddie Davis might be one of those in custody I’m betting.
I wonder if someone gave the police bad intel. or was perp able to somehow escape during the night?
Tsk, tsk.
Then Raila Odinga's favorite cousin will say that the "police acted stupidly" for defending themselves and the civilians from the scum.
Silly you.
AT the top of this thread should be posted a pic of Mike Huckabee instead of Romney & others.
