Twentynine Palms Marine shot dead by police after chase
Edited on Wed Dec-29-04 04:18 AM by cleofus1
What kind of homocidal maniac kills someone becouse they are transgendered? If you are in Hollywood you should already know that you have a 50/50 chance of picking up a shemale...nevertheless that's no reason to shoot a person...goddamn!


"LOS ANGELES -- A Twentynine Palms Marine who led Los Angeles police on a high-speed chase after allegedly killing a transgender prostitute in Hollywood was shot to death by officers.

Patrick Edward Vallor, 22, an MP, allegedly pointed a gun at pursuing officers in a McDonald’s restaurant parking lot in the Atwater Village area early Sunday, Assistant Chief Jim McDonnell said.

The Marine apparently picked up a prostitute he believed was a female, investigators said. When he discovered the prostitute was a man, the Marine allegedly killed the man and dumped the body near Melrose Avenue."

1. Poorly trained police
This Marines death is sad, but why didn't get the cops that chasing him? It is kind of like you have to ask youself, what kind of training are they gibing the MPs if they can't even beat the regular cops.. I.e. military criminals who the MP have to face is usually gonna be armed, with good fighting skills.. .A regular cop 9 times out of 10 is just gonna hve to tell a prosittue to leave the area, or maybe punish a kid who is commiting a arson. this is totally different, and it is food for thought that some of these MPS aren't up to the challenge... Watching out for drunking at the Bar on the base is one thing, fighting armed criminals is anoter

3. I drive through LA a lot
Here is the point though... The guy kills a woman dresses a man, then he gets blown out by the cops. So, he is used to killing, he knows the cop wants to put him in a prison because he killed the hemaphordit. So he NEEDs to be alert. I guess he was probably lost his mind from being in the base too much.

5. I haven't had a drink in a hour... and my point is
maybe it is not a real MP.. it might have been a mix up si my only other though. I guess i didn't see the connection between the hermophrodit and the killing.. maybe the shemale was a lover.. you never know these days
