That was Ramos and Compeans TESTIMONY on the WITNESS STAND and to investigators

If actually reading something first then opening my blog mouth qualifys me as Mr. Hammett – then guilty as charged….

Ramos was a marksman, the illegal was unarmed and tried to surrender, his partner went to club him to death – naturally the alien took off running, Ramos partner fired a clip, reloaded, fired another clip. Ramos then made the cold blooded calculated decision to try to kill the man and left him bleeding there in the desert.

Wow, Eric…are you shootin’ to be the next Daschell Hammett???

A Felon is someone that is convicted of a felony count

In the Matter of Ramos and Compean

They were convicted of 11 Felony counts

Also, its not my Website its actually that of a friend who disagrees with me,

I do not post there anymore

I used to link Patterico cause I find him fair even if it causes him considerable grief he sticks to hias guns and does what he thinks is right

Johnny Sutton ain’t much of a man! Laura can do better! he he

And Johnson……..Elvira Arellano is a convicted Illegal Alien FELON!!

They didn’t apprehend the guy nor search for a weapon, oh they did search for their shell casings in case CSI came to the scene

They also had their DEA buddies wipe the load as an abandoned one removing any chance of getting evidence connecting AED to the van

Had they just cuffed the guy instead of trying to beat him first and then have target pratice they would be the law enforcement heroes in stead of the felons that they deserved to be

in stead of the felons that they deserved to be

WHAT?

What the hell is your definition of a felon?

Have you gotten enough publicity yet for your blogsite?

I am waiting for such a time.

Thankfully she is off in my area and i can turn her off on tv. Laura lighten up a little. Somebody find her a man.

She got a man. Shows just how much you listen to her.

She’s not tough enough most of the time, for me.

Thank you very much for highlighting her and showing your ignorance.

We — the anonymous commenter nation — come here to say stupid and controversial things without any other motivation, other than that this is what we do.

What agenda, lets review the impact shall we….

I have two officers that failed to arrest and interrogate a known and dangerous drug dealer and by their more than incompetant actions set the stage where not only did we have to set him free, we have had to endure this entire charade of border politics swirling around the fact that these two took our tax dollars and used it to almost spark an international incident instead of just saying turn around and cuffing the guy

And they tried to commit murder in the name of the United States

That too.

This bears repeating from another thread:

My point is, in 2 post within the last 24 hours you have defended Mexican Drug Smugglers over American citizens and Law Enforcement. You have an agenda that you’re not man enough to disclose or defend.

TheBigOldDog on July 21, 2007 at 1:02 PM

Amen BigDog.

Hey Eric, how about responding to that?

Or the fact that Ramos had charges dropped not once, not twice, but three times for beating his wife (once after surgery), his son and his elderly father in law? ~ EricPWJohnson

Wow! So this is relevant and the 2nd drug run isn’t. I read your posts and you are some kinda angry.

BTW, did the prosecution ever intimate that either BPAs were “attempting” to beat the drug smuggler to death with their guns? I don’t remember them being put on trial for attempted murder. You need to settle down a little.

2. Sutton then charged them with using a firearm in commission of a felony. They were in commission of their jobs (i.e. stopping illegal border crossings,) not a felony.

3. There were multiple other officers including superiors, present at the scene during the “cover-up” who assisted in the “cover-up.” Not one was charged with obstruction or anything else.

4. Ramos and Compean WERE NOT CHARGED NOR FOUND GUILTY of OBSTRUCTION

5. The jury was not instructed (Sutton advocated for such instruction) as to the mandatory sentence for violation of the statute. Jurors are on record as saying that if they knew such sentence, they would not have voted the way they did.

For an unrepentent drug smuggler to get off, while border agents go to prison is a massive violation of this public expectation of basic law and order. Sniffing that the public is stupid isn’t the correct response, in fact, is a foolish provocation. The public is also exquisitely aware that law enforcement becomes degraded when officers on the front lines do not believe the society has their backs. The legislators and the prosecutors and the courts should be sensitive to this. America has done very very well by maintaining a professional law enforcement culture. One doesn’t have to look far to see the corrosive effects of a bribe-demanding degraded law enforcement structure … any Third World nation has plenty of vivid examples to provide. It’s one of the characteristics that holds back a country’s development. Mexico’s rankings world-wide aren’t anything to be proud of.

So very well, put, naliaka.

When, the other day, Bush defended the sentence of Ramos and Campeon by calling the prosecutor Sutton his “dear friend,” he blew an enormous hole in that “expectation of law and order.”

Because the prosecutor in this case is the “dear friend” of a President who has done next to nothing to stop the illegal flow across the border, the public (the same people who “don’t want what’s best for America”) should accept this?

Did Harriet Meyers deserve to be an SC Justice — because she, too, was a “friend” of the President?

Did the President commute Libby’s sentence because Fitzgerald is not on his “dear friends” list?

Follow the logic, or rather, follow the President’s blatantly irresponsible comment, and weep for our justice system.

I think he should go to work for Earle in Texas. They should fit in real well together.

Fired 15 rounds, reloaded

Did not have a gun says Ramos, Compean, Vasquez and several others at the site

contrast this to Ramos and Compean

EricPWJohnson on July 21, 2007 at 12:29 PM

Nothing to contrast when you fire one round and the suspect keeps running. You figure you missed him and that he was now over the border. That is still irrespective of whether he had a gun or not and pointing it at R&C.
