#2 During the last 4 to 6 weeks a major Leftist, Francis Fox Piven has been calling the un-employed young people to violent action...

workers must realize that others have put them in their current, uneasy situation: [T]he out-of-work have to stop blaming themselves for their hard times and turn their anger on the bosses, the bureaucrats or the politicians who are in fact responsible.

Only then, once their rage has been properly stoked, can the angry take action. And when they do, she says, the protesters need targets.

What she is calling for is nothing less than the chaos and violence engulfing Europe, writes Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Ron Radosh on his blog. Disgruntled leftist unionists, students who expect an education without cost, and citizens of social-democratic states cannot accept that the old terms of the social contract they thought would last forever have worn out their welcome. The European welfare-state governments can no longer function with the kind of social programs that now far exceed their nations budgets and hence are moving their countries to the precipice of total collapse.

But violence has always been Pivens preferred method of collapse. In 2004, she admitted as much, saying that violence is condoned as long as it is part of a grand plan...

#4 possession of drug paraphernalia, which was dismissed after he completed a diversion program,

WTF is a "diversion" program? This was mentioned in regards to two separate incidents. Was he diverted from using drugs to being a killer?

#5 I think its a 'Diversion' from serving any jail (or Youth Center) time to performing community service and/or some sort of 'rehab' program.

Translation: he receive a mild ~~pat~~ slap on the wrist.

#7 If there is anything to that Skunky - this is getting better and better (or rather worse and worse).

I don't recognize the website so can't really evaluate its reliability....

#8 From #6's cited article The Pima County Sheriffs Department was aware of his violent nature and they failed to act appropriately. This tragedy leads right back to Sherriff Dupnik and all the spin in the world is not going to change that fact.
This has been said in many internet posts every since Sheriff Dummkopf mouthed off on Saturday.
