(51,666 posts)engage in silly speculation about something which CANNOT happen, lol. But thank you for reminding me about all my family tragedies.
I am talking about the real world, here and now. This is a nation of laws. Our Constitution says that no person may be deprived of life or liberty without due process. There are serious questions about this and many other similar cases, and sometimes we find out after the fact that a suspect was denied due process and wound up dead.
The two women in the truck and the surfer were all certainly denied due process and are all lucky to have lived to tell about it.
I am NOT going to cheer the cops on about this and celebrate the death of an "evildoer". There are too many questions in my mind about HIM (how severe was the mental problem he obviously had, given that he thought he could clear his name even after he had killed in cold blood), about the LE agencies involved and especially LAPD, and about the exact sequence of events.
No, I don't have some silly conspiracy theory. I just hate to think that ANY person, even if they have committed a crime or three, is denied due process because of personal enmity on the part of unprofessional LEO's. I have a concern that this case fits that description.
