Milpas Shooting, Pursuit Were One Wild Affair

» Concerned in SB on 03.22.09 @ 05:27 PM

Where are the details?  Who was the victim, the police officers involved, the suspects?  What business on Milpas Street had its storefront shattered?  More importantly, how are the police planning to respond to this gun violence?  No statement from the police chief?

LOL. It’s tough to imagine exactly what Concerned and Native expect from a start-up, free online newspaper like Noozhawk. Hmmm… maybe you could try turning on the TV? Keyt named both suspects last night. Don’t bother with the News-Press, the only paper in town that actually charges to read both the hard copy and the online edition. Wendy and Travis apparently have yet to hear that this event happened. Also tough to figure why you dimbulbs are so angry with Noozhawk and the cops and imagined “PC” slants. Could be you have your agendas all set before the bare-bones local news organizations have time to learn or report the story in detail. You two sound as if you can’t wait to read Travis Armstrong’s next poison pen column. It is a sure bet he’ll rant and rave about this situation that his paper hasn’t covered as well as the freebies have done.

Not the first time a roundabout has helped to catch a fleeing criminal.  Happens almost every month in England.

Where do you think you are Silly Council?
In SB, Police is more preoccupied to put tickets than to make this city safe.

Sure, if they are white and here illegaly, deport them by all means! Especially if they are felons. There is no double standard here. Say something else that is stupid.

Passing-By - don’t speak for me. I am simply pointing out that ALL media is afraid to call a spade a spade anymore (and no, you dope, that’s NOT racist.) The Independent didn’t do any better, and I’m sure the former News Press (RIP) won’t either. Why is it we can’t SAY anything anymore? Yup. It’s because of people like you, Passing By, who would find something to wank about instead of considering the content. So now we have to DUMB DOWN the content so it can’t possibly OFEEND someone. Lemme tell you, if bullets come flying MY way I’m gonna be offended. And I want a DESCRIPTION of the suspects, beyond their sex. (White/Black/Latino/Asian!) Passing By - please keep going. For the rest of us who live here: until “news” can be “news” again, we the people are screwed.

First of all do you people committing on these local men know anything about them.  One is been out of jail for the last 6 years and has a wife and kids.  Has had a good job and been an asset to the company he worked.  The other brother has been doing the best he can and surviving in his home town, that all you rich people have taken over.  Both have been struggling with alcohol problems and make some very bad choices that evening protecting each other the best way they knew how.  This is called love for your blood brother. Some of you idiots know nothing about loving one’s own brother.  I know it not the typical way to show love but if it’s all you know then you just do it.  They were very wrong in their action but don’t judge or you to shall be judge.  Pray for these men and ask God to forgive them for there action.  We love you David & James.

They don’t look anything alike so we can only assume this is a gay marriage.

I fully agree with sbnative that the media are cowards afraid to offend anyone and so are the politicians. i would add to the information we need is whether or not the perpetrators should even be here, meaning should they maybe be in jail or back in Mexico?

sbmom the only judgement that is impaired is that of whoever let these idiots back on the streets and can’t keep track of them. Here they are with alcohol and firearms and priors on each.

And then we have the understanding forgiving apologists like “Don’t want to be judged” who are the true dangers to the City. Let anyone do anything because they are stupid and oppressed and poor victims of the “rich” and alcohol the poor babies. Loving one’s brother should NEVER include endangering others you fool.

Hey Don’t want to be Judged! I do know these losers and I would hardly call them a credit to our society so why don’t you stop making excuses for them??  If David is such a great family man what is he doing shooting up a Jack in the Box at 3 a.m. instead of being at home with his kids??  I guess that shows you where his priorities lie.  People need to stop making excuses for their actions and man up for what they have done.  As far as I am concerned let them both rot in jail…

I think everyone needs to chill.  I’m pretty everyone involved was hammered from the bars.  And a gun was only brought in cause the ALlisons were outnumbered once outside Jacks. Stuff just escalated from there. What was fist fights 10 years ago with David, now is gunplay.  He wasnt like that before he went to prison.  Prison make him worse for sure. It made him harder and crazier as there really is no rehabilition….just lock em up and only the strong survive, then get released back to society.  Things are even harder after being institutionalized.

You can’t be serious.

For the sake of discussion, let’s say that, contrary to eyewitness accounts, a guy walks in to Jack in the Box in the middle of the night and starts harassing the brothers Allison. The brothers, being loving fathers and caring sons, try to leave the restaurant to defuse the situation but the guy chases them outside and starts to beat up the two of them. Let’s say that happened and that is enough to trigger a snap reaction by these two gentlemen, who are neither monsters nor white trash.

So they get mad and make a threat to get a gun. OK, maybe that’s justified. If that’s what happened. Contrary to eyewitnesses.

But here’s where I’m a little skeptical. The boys didn’t stop there. They hit a car while they drove off. Then they returned. Then one brother runs into the restaurant looking for the victim—I mean the assailant. Then the other brother pulls out a shotgun and fires it at the victim—I mean the assailant—as he’s running away. Then they both get back into their truck and speed off. Then they try to run down a police officer! And they hit HIS car. Then they speed a mile down Milpas Street (were all the lights green?). Now maybe all of this is a fog for these two solid citizens, who are still bewildered that they would have been so unfairly attacked while they were dining on their Teriyaki Bowls.

But they were thinking clearly enough to know they needed to get rid of the weapon that would have placed them at the scene.

Now maybe these two dimwits are more moron than monster but this seems like a pretty easy case for the DA.
