LA City Attorney, Carmen Trutanich. will be running for Los Angeles County DA this November. This is the same City Attorney who took such pride in collaborating in the brutalization of Occupy Los Angeles during and after the raid of October 1 that broke up the camp. Are you telling me that City Attorney campaigning for County DA is not subject to the will of the people? If so, then I guess there's no point in my efforts to try to prevent his election in November.

You and I will have to agree to disagree as to whether the public has a right to know on what grounds the case was deemed unfit for a Grand Jury. Myself, I prefer transparency in government. Sunshine is the best disinfectant.

Shame on you for insinuating that I in any way am advocating lynching or arguing that Zimmerman be lynched. I am demanding he be held accountable for his actions before the law and that public servants entrusted with enforcing that same law be held accountable for their actions. If you've read my writings on the extra-judicial execution of Osama bin Laden, et. al., you will know that I am a staunch defender of such quaint and obsolete concepts as 'Due Process,' despite the continual blood lust on display in these pages.
