Both are in surgery as I type this. The ambush was caught on surveillance camera. my friend posted on facebook, i guess he knows them. hopefully they survive the surgery

An eyewitness says protesters showed up at the hospital and tried to force their way into the emergency room where these two deputies were undergoing surgery. Reported on ABC7 news. https://twitter.com/i/status/1305035743149006848 |

Further, they were blocking the emergency room entrance. That's a "shoot on sight" offense, IMO. |

I'm sure the media and public officials will soon assure us that this has nothing to do with recent protests and hey look! was that a boogaloo boi over there!

I'm not going to post what I originally wrote. These people need to be harshly dealt with.

Calling those cretins "thugs" is being unfair to thugs the world over. These creeps are lower than thugs. As our DIs used to tell us during Army Basic Training, "Lower than whale [____] at the bottom of the ocean." |

If by "thugs" you mean domestic terrorists then I can agree with you. |
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

"Protesters."
Protesters, right?
Expressing their grievances.
Friggin' terrible, that.
Friggin' sneaks.
Best wishes for the recovery of the Officers.

You know, for people who claim to believe the police are just looking for any excuse to kill a black man, they sure seem to be providing a lot of excuses.... And for some reason aren't dead.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Here’s the reaction of an eyewitness to the ambush of two Deputies shot in the head in #Compton. The victims are in the background. No one is going to help them. Vote like your life depends on it. #BlueLivesMatter https://twitter.com/RealJamesWoods/status/1305226390854279168?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw |

Trump has called for the shooter's head. This is what Biden had to say about it: Weapons of war have no place in our communities.
We need to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. |

We need to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Let's see, I can't tell how many times the attempted murderer shot, but given how quickly he ran after pointing the gun, I'm guessing it was less than 10 times. Yeah, Biden's response seems about right. 1) Used a pistol, so the "assault weapons" has no relationship to this shooting 2) Used less than 10 rounds, so the "high-capacity magazines" has no relationship to this shooting. Basically, it's "something bad happened; we must use it to further our desired policies!" whether they relate to the attack or not. |

Someone pulled the pullstring coming out of his back and the record just happened to be on assault weapons need to be banned at that point. The dems are just lucky it wasn't "There's a snake in my boot"

This is, apparently, the sort of common sense gun control Democratic voters want to hear from moderate Democrats like Joe "They're going to put y'all back in chains" Biden, and his Gun Czar, Francis "Hell yes" O'Rourke. |

Re Biden's remarks as reported by Ben, Reply #11:
If a volcano erupts, blame assault weapons or Trump or the current bête noire. Or bête blanc, whichever.
The logic or illogic of it doesn't matter. It's the number of psychological impacts you can make that does.
Some famous high government official pointed this out in the twentieth century, but that's ancient history with no relevance to today.

excellent work! in the eighties, everyone who killed a cop committed "suicide". |
