The Fox2Now “sub” headline at the top of the story is, in my opinion, disrespectful to the Marshal.

“Leaving Two Wounded And Two Dead”

I woukld prefer: “Leaves Two Wounded and One Dead”.

In cases like this, I do not think the perp should be counted among the REAL casualties.

Prayers for Marshal Perry and his family.

Heard an audio clip yesterday of the perpetrator’s mother carrying on. You got it, the thugh was a good boy, respected in the hood, turning his life around, had an appointment with his social worker about more unemployment; the whole standard litany.

From yesterdays story in the Post-Disgrace:

Tony Johnson, who lives nearby, explained why he thinks many in a crowd of about 100 people were growing increasingly angry as they waited outside the home..

"Complete anger," he said. "People around here don't like cops."

Johnson, 22, added: "They should've sent a relative in to talk him out rather than go in shooting."

Some of these "no snitch" areas should not even have police. Close them off and let them turn into Camden.

He should not have been on the street to begin with:

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce said her office couldn't seek felony charges immediately after the Oct. 11 incident because the assault charge was tied to narcotics, which required the follow-up lab work.

He had also assaulted a cop, they had to tase him to subdue him; why they released him is difficult to comprehend.

His sister’s three kids lived with him and his girlfriend. She told reporters that she knew he had been in prison before, but didn’t know what offenses he had been charged with.

I'm not sure, if the shooter is a U.S. citizen, it will bring the Marshal back to life.

European cities have many such areas. Most of them are overwhelmingly Muslim. It is where little enclaves of Sharia get their start.

In would not surprise me if there were not some of them in the U.S.A. also. Michigan comes to mind, particualrily around Detroit. I would not discount Minnosota or Maine.

No, but pointing out if an illegal alien or violent resident alien did this might help to prevent future such people from being allowed entry and killing more people. I guess you are the type that never learns a lesson.

Naturally, if someone used this story to promote “sensible” gun control laws, you’d blow a gasket. But you are probably the type who wouldn’t understand the hypocrisy.
