This is starting to become a big story. I’m trying to stay on top of it as much as I can. Here are some new updates and some analysis from other commentators that I think are worthwhile.<\/p>\n
Over at the Daily Caller, Brent Hatley wrote a column about Keith Olbermann’s hypocrisy regarding this story<\/a>. From the beginning we at TAH have pointed out that the left-wing media in this country has been silent on this matter, when in the past they have jumped the gun on other incidents like this with other law enforcement organizations. If they do report the story, they will usually leave out Dupnik’s name<\/a>. \u00a0I am glad that people are starting to recognize that the left-wing media in Arizona (and now nationally) is trying to cover for Dupnik.<\/p>\n In trying to cover for Dupnik, some media outlets are going to try and smear Guerena. We have heard ridiculous stories about law enforcement uniforms being found at his house,\u00a0which turned out to be a Border Patrol cap<\/a> that you can buy almost anywhere in Arizona. Then there was the nonsense about the picture of the patron saint of drug dealers in the house, which seems to be a bunch of bullshit as well. Then there is crap likes this which has appeared on the website for my local paper, the Arizona Republic<\/a>:<\/p>\n Among the items seized at the four homes was a silver-plated 0.38-caliber handgun, or a “Super 38,” a popular status weapon among Mexican traffickers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Really? The idiot who wrote that (and the Arizona Republic has a lot of idiots working for it) \u00a0has watched too many movies about Mexican drug dealers. I guess when its okay to use racial stereotypes (and thats what the above statement is ladies and gentlemen) when we are talking about a veteran and gun owner, but not your average minority.<\/p>\n But the fact remains: NOTHING ILLEGAL WAS FOUND IN JOSE GUERENA’S HOUSE. PERIOD. END OF STORY. <\/strong>Even the Sheriff’s office admits that and the idiot\u00a0attorney who is representing the SWAT team admits that as well. All this talk about the guns, body armor, and uniforms are just a smear and nothing else.<\/p>\n Radley Balko, who just left Reason.com for the Huffington Post (ugh I know but at least somone is uttering Dupnik’s name over there now) has some new info<\/a> on the story and has some interesting information up about \u00a0Mike Storie. Apparently, Storie has been going around claiming that no law enforcement officer that has been his client has been convicted of a crime, but thats bullshit, just like everything else he says. One of his clients, a Nogales police officer, was prosecuted by the state of Arizona and was found guilty of sexual assault<\/a>. Additionally, as suspected, Dupnik doesn’t have a problem with Storie running his mouth and is probably giving him orders behind the scenes.<\/p>\n Finally, there is a bank account setup through Bank of America where you can make monetary donations to a memorial fund for Jose Guerena’s family. The acct number is: #457022390833<\/strong> I have checked it out along with OldSoldier54 and it appears to be legit (it was setup by one of his cousins, who both OS and I been in contact with). Here are the instructions from OldSoldier54:<\/p>\n Made a deposit this morning at local BoA branch. The name is : Jose Guerena Memorial Acct, fill in your own address, the number you gave me, and use the pink \u201cOut of State\u201d deposit form for those of us outside of Arizona. They said if you have a BoA account, you can do this online using the account number on the \u201cinside\u201d transfer page.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Five to ten bucks from a couple dozen TAH readers will go a long way.<\/p>\n Jonn added:<\/strong> Beat and Release<\/a> does an excellent job of summarizing the statement of SWAT supervisor Sgt. Krygier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
