Ya don't figure that the perp forgot to read the Colorado Code of Statutes?

At some point, I expect this sort of thing to be quite common.
Anyone seen Henry Bowman lately?
I think it was a single shot to the chest. It doesn’t look like an “assault weapon” with a 30 round clip was used.
Um, his residential information would NOT be published anywhere. Also, it would not be accessible at the courthouse. Almost all policemen’s residential information is NOT public record. This was a professional hit.
The only thing that protects oathbreakers, in reality, is the longsuffering of the American people, and our reticence to take life while abuses can still be suffered. But there will come a point when that will no longer be enough to protect the oathbreakers, and they will lose their lives as surely as this man did.
I guess the takeaway is that everyone should be armed to the tooth against those that would do you harm, right?

“One would figure that this official would be completely safe after Colorado’s comprehensive gun control law was signed...”
Obviously it wouldn’t have made a bit of difference, but this guy was killed before the law was signed (and well before it takes effect - in July, I believe).
From a Progressive point of view, as long as the killer used a magazine of less than 15 rounds, the gun was legal.
Saudi hit job. It’s fortunate, thanks to the Obama administration, for the Saudi Arabians that they now can be on the “trusted flyer” list and by pass normal security. Makes it easier for their hit squads to “un-ass” as area quickly.
However, the market for entry-way cameras and intercoms is only going to increase as the former USA spirals down the toilet.
“Glenn McGovern, an investigator with the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s office in California who tracks such incidents worldwide. He said there have been roughly as many in the past three years - at least 35 - as the entire prior decade.”
This boy is not very good at tracking incidents. At least 3,000 Qaddafhi judges, bureaucrats, prosecutors and elite officers were shot or hanged from lampposts during the Libyan civil war. I’m not including the 5,000 or more Qaddafhi African mercenaries who were gotten rid of.
McGovern has no idea of the rage that people around the world feel toward elitist scum.
This guy was the director of the Colorado Department of Corrections. He recently denied transfer to a Saudi prison for a certain well-to-do and influential Saudi gentleman, who’s serving a life sentence for keeping a housekeeper as his sex slave for four years. Most likely, in my opinion, the shooting is related.
Clements’ death occurred a week after he denied a request by a Saudi national, Homaidan al-Turki, to serve out the remainder of a Colorado prison sentence in Saudi Arabia, the Associated Press reported. He cited al-Turki’s refusal to undergo sex offender treatment in his denial.
Al-Turki, a well-known member of Denver’s Muslim community, was convicted in state court in 2006 of unlawful sexual contact by use of force, theft and extortion and sentenced to 28 years to life in prison. Prosecutors said al-Turki kept a housekeeper a virtual slave for four years in his home and sexually assaulted her. A judge reduced the sentence to eight years to life. Al-Turki insisted the case was politically motivated.
Al-Turki’s conviction angered Saudi officials and prompted the U.S. State Department to send Colorado Attorney General John Suthers to Saudi Arabia to meet with King Abdullah, Crown Prince Sultan and al-Turki’s family.
Dave Joly, Denver spokesman for the FBI, said agents are looking at all angles. He did not say if federal agents joined the investigation as a result of the al-Turki case. “Nothing is off the table,” Joly said in an e-mail. “If a lead comes up in another state or out of the area, the FBI is here to assist in any way we can.”
Mike Knight, chief investigator for the Arapahoe County District Attorney’s office, said the prosecutors who worked on the al-Turki case and other high-profile prosecutions at the DA’s office are taking increased security measures as a result of the slaying.

IT’S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL, IT’S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL. IT’S A SMALL, SMALL, WORLD.
I figure they should look at all contracts ( construction, procurement, medical, etc.) he may have denied, put up for low bid bidding, or cancelled. Sounds slightly like Jersey style rigging.
