4 Officers shot near Lakewood WA

[VX KAT]

Heard the terrible news that 4 police officers were gunned down & killed near Lakewood WA, ....sure hope they get the killer fast. See that this is very near at least 2 or 3 of our VXers...."Rowhard", "Riff Raff" and "wekilled"...(which sounds really bad right now ). Sure hope all your loved ones are safe and they get this guy asap..and I mean GET 'em.

I'm with you!
If the shooter never see's the inside of a courtroom, it's OK with me...

Hope all our VX Fam in the area was/is out of harms way.

Person of interest in police killings had life sentence commuted

Clemmons has an extensive criminal past - including a lengthy prison sentence commuted by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee nearly a decade ago.

Thank you so very much for your kind words. I personally live and work in Lakewood, WA which is technically a suburb of Tacoma, WA. The City of Lakewood Police Department HQ's is 1-block away from my Tavern and Lakewood City Hall is 1-block away in the other direction. I personally know most of the LPD police officer's by their first names including those that were murdered, as they frequent my Tavern quite often for routine license inspections and routine city code enforcement.

Our very tight-knit community of Lakewood is in pure shock by this overwhelming tragety. Our hearts waver between the deepest of sorrow for the fallen Lakewood Police Officers and then swing to the greatest rage of sheer anger for catching the perpitrator. Luckily, the fourth police officer who was fatally shot was able to get one(1) round off at the suspect before he himself finally collasped and died. His single bullet severely wounded the suspect and his trail of blood has lead police to his known whereabouts. His hide-out dwelling is currently surrounded by a tactical SWAT team and they are just waiting for morning daylight to move in.

This unspeakable crime comes right on the heels of a murdered Seattle Police Officer who was gunned down at point blank range as he was doing paperwork while sitting in his squad car this past Halloween night (his partner was also wounded sitting next to him in the front seat of the police cruiser).

I keep waiting for the world to get better and for society to improve. Until then, I will continue to carry my concealed weapon on me at all times loaded with Black Talon bullets. Perhaps someday, I will be in the right place at the right time and can alter a perpitrator's original plan of attack with one of my own. I look forward to the opportunity.

... and I'll be waiting for the day when one more of such "carriers" gets crazy and shot innocent people. Or his kids accidentally shot neighborhood dog using his gun.

always wanted to see the statistics on how many innocent people were killed by easily accessible weapons vs how many lives were saved by them [easily accessible weapons]

The stats are out there if you look. But the fact of the matter is that the media likes to tell the bad stories most of the time. You rarely hear about crimes stopped by law abiding citizens carrying a concealed weapon. I'm not saying it happens all the time, but when it comes to gun laws, there is unfortunately no middle ground, it's either for or against. I'm no right-wing red-neck, but I do enjoy my freedoms.

This is America, not the UK, and I support my right to keep, carry and use a firearm. I've said it before and I will say it again- I would rather live in a slightly dangerous FREE country than a boring and tame country were everything is illegal. After they take my guns, they will take my VehiCROSS too.

I hope they catch the P.O.S. and put him through a meat grinder...slowly...with lots of salt.

When the shooters are found guilty of murder, give them one week and they go to the gas chamber. None of this death row stuff and waiting to die of old age while in prison.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the officers and there families.

ZubraAZ - You are an idiot; shown by your comments. I have a great idea, let’s make guns illegal, I am pretty sure the criminals will turn them in and not create a huge black market for ammunition and guns as well...

Go get 'em Riff Raff !!!!!

Not even a week. If found guilty you get ONE appeal then it's straight out the back of the courthouse to a firing squad, the hangman, or the chair. I don't give a rats *** about giving a murdering scumbag a humane death. I hope this dirtbag never sees the inside of a courthouse.

You guys are way too generous to this A****hole.

Why should he enjoy a quick death when the families of the 4 officers will suffer for years to come.

This offender should be thrown in a dark cell, never to see daylight again, and fed on bread and water for the rest of his life.
With absolutely no communication, verbal, written, or otherwise.

Let him suffer and linger for a long time.





Now you have seen my dark side.
