When was the last time you saw a cop walking a beat?

all i was saying is the pigmedia gonna use this wonderful bite of news to win win win win win etcetera some more - 1/2 the national budget spent on police prisons judiciary military? NOT ENUFF! and the dems will accede, not wanting to look soft on crime..... (btw, we've seen this all before, going back to caveman days)

FEAR is their favorite tool. Too bad we don't have cops walking a beat. The world would be a better place.

walking or cycling beats, literally to protest! For awhile, a few years back, they had police operating neighborhood posts, little trailer like places where citizens could drop in and beat cops hung out etc, but quietly, as 'conservativism' pressed for increased budgets etc, those little police posts disappeared (i haven't seen one for 2 years now)...actually, it's a fact that the piggy wants police as remote from the people as possible. and the killing of the football player will givem ammo to press for more of it...

What a useless plate of pasture pastry you're selling.

Successful, talented young men pretending to be Scarfare or like they're in some video game.

related to "gangsta" culture? Because he was black?

Would you say the same thing if it was a white player that was killed in a drive-by shooting in Denver?

it was a drive by shooting indicates it was probably gang related. What does race have to do with it?

Here in KC we rejoiced when Denver lost yesterday because that gave the Chiefs a playoff spot. Now we are sending our sympathy to the Denver fans.

Not only did he play hard and well, but his smile could light an Xcel Energy grid. It is a shame when any young person dies so needlessly.

Why won't people wake up and realize we need every person to carry a gun so we can be safe...:crazy:

It has everything except armor. http://www.a1limobus.com/h2.htm

or a random shooting by some drugged out idiot? Or something more sinister?

I wouldn't be surprised at all.

DENVER (AP) -- Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting early Monday, his limousine sprayed with bullets in downtown Denver.

Team spokesman Jim Saccomano said police called him about 3 a.m. from the scene and told him three people had been shot, and the 24-year-old Williams had been killed. His death came hours after the Denver Broncos were eliminated from the playoff race.

A little after 2 a.m., a white Hummer limousine was fired on from a vehicle that pulled up along its side, police spokesman Sonny Jackson said. As many as a dozen bullet holes were visible on the driver's side of the vehicle. One window was blown out and four others had bullet holes.

Three people in the limo were hit and taken to hospitals, where one man was pronounced dead, Jackson said. The other man and woman who were shot were not identified.

Denver is in the clear. Once you get out of El Paso County, and southern Douglas County, you're mostly out of fundie country. Boulder is one of the most liberal cities in the US.

Denver is quite Liberal.

:banghead:

It sounded like there might have been some altercation in a nightclub. It happened near LoDo where there are numerous clubs.

and to all who loved him. What a senseless and horrible death. May he rest in peace.

24 years old. Dear Lord, what a tragedy.

No man is an island, entire of itself
every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main
if a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were,
as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were
any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind
and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls
it tolls for thee.

That's what is sickening to me. I hope the murderer is caught, arrested, delivered appropriate justice. I'm not even sure if I want to see the DP implemented for the murderer, but I'd rather have the murderer sit in prison in a rathole and think about what he did.

and are assuming this was random? :shrug:

Frightening as it occurred at 11th and Speer--way too close for comfort..

He sounds like a good guy with two kids back in Oklahoma, I think. Very sad...

this was right downtown

hard to think that something like this could happen in Denver...

three blocks from the best trauma hospital in the state. It sounds like the poor guy never stood a chance. I hope they find out who did this. This sort of thing really doesn't go on here.

I'm stunned. REALLY stunned. This is an senseless death. I live here in Denver, and shooting happened less than about 5 miles from my house. He and Champ Bailey were the top tandem cornerbacks for the Denver Broncos. I don't know how they are going to replace him, but it's a sad day today for me.

I guess it hits close that football players are seen as tough, but all are mortal.

What a tragedy but one wonders if it was random. What a way to start the New Year.

if it was some disgruntled fan who was pissed that Denver lost. :shrug:

Very sad for the family and for the fans. What a waste.

These two incidents led sports radio hosts today, on the station where Darrent Williams had a sports show, to ask about the gangsta phenomena. The station was a little slow since the regular morning talk shows were replaced by syndicated sports shows due to the holiday. Many callers expressed their sadness and good wishes to his family.

The Denver Nugget, Julius Hodge, has recovered from being shot in the leg. "Eyewitnesses saw someone flashing a gang sign at Hodge in the parking lot. The manager says Hodge was wearing a bandana over his head." http://julius-hodge-news.newslib.com/story/4059-2800990/

outside a Denver Sports Bar. Another person died in the shooting.

Sorry, but I do think in the young black culture there is too much of this gangsta crap.

even I don't think we can pin this on the BFEE.

Because we all know that no-one ever got shot and killed in a drive-by situation during Clinton's term (sarcasm).

Gangsta my hoof.... he's a footballer.

I'm sorry, but this crap and macho attitude with guns are costing too many young men in the black community their lives. It's only when the figure has a name in rap or sports does it get front page coverage. That is what it has to do with Tupac!

Going to urban nightclubs = putting your life in jeopardy.
