A Marine who was fatally shot in his Arizona home earlier this month reportedly never fired upon the SWAT team that fired at him 70 times. Pima County Clarence Dupnik, who blasted Rush Limbaugh for the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords team was responsible. The so-called drug raid, turned up no drugs.

A drug bust that turned up no drugs, the victim did not fire one shot, and the video shows the firing started within seconds. Something fishy going on. I can understand the adrenaline rush going on in the officers, anyone who has been in a fire fight knows how that is, but being trigger happy is not an excuse. I think it will be a very expensive lesson for this police dept.
Sounds a bit like that WMD bust that turned up no WMDs… oops. Well we got away with it so I'm sure the police will too.
An all-too-common occurrence, unfortunately, which should surprise no one in a society in which supposedly anti-government conservatives are the biggest supporters of the Patriot Act.
The biggest surprise–and the most hopeful result, for me–is that in this case even conservatives are upset about the shooting of Mexican-born Jose Guerena. Of course if they'd found a marijuana leaf in the house, that would have negated his ex-Marine status for many.
You, Sir, are wasting the air you breathe – most "Conservatives" are (in my experience), and have been, against it.
Nice ad hominem, Ugly, but then by your definition there are no virtually no conservative Republicans in Congress. Only one Senator–Democrat Russ Feingold–voted against the Patriot Act originially. Only 10 Senators–all Dems or indiependents–voted against the Bush reauthorization of it in 2006.
In the House, 62 Dems, an independent, and 3 Republicans voted against it originally; 124 Dems and 13 Republicans voted against its reauthorization. Maybe you should be voting for Democrats.
James McPherson The Gay Cut & Paste Queen!
Lol! Good set up James! Reminds me of some of the Liberal Main Stream Media & how they set up Democratic Politicians with soft ball questions.
As usual, Cougar, your comment is completely irrelevant. But I'm glad the Western "Journalism" Center gives you something to do when you're not too medicated.
James The Cut & Paste Queen!
James you must be smoking some really good stuff? My comment in fact was most relevant & especially the part which pertaining to you.Wwith your comprehension disorder i suggest to you to read it again in order that you might be able to comprehend it this time!
you sir are again wasting your time on this site you are a communist , disimformationalist
little bitch
Percy Choate you are so right! James McPherson in fact is nothing more than a fraud who spreads disinformation.
Big Ugly are you another one of James McPherson's jokes? Most likely!
James McPherson The Gay cut & Paste Queen!
James! Dumber than Dumb! The Patriot Act has kept you safe! They have already stated that no marijuana was found.
Duh, Cougar. I never suggested any had been found. Try to keep up.
And no true small-government conservative would support the Patriot Act–but if you do, you shouldn't be the least bit surprised that cops end up killing innocents.
Duh! James McPherson The Cut & Paste Queen! I never stated that you had made such a comment! Try to keep up! I know with your comprehension disorder it is difficult!
your mouth as always continues to over load your big mouth
Read your comment again, percy–does it make any sense, even to you?
JAMES GO BACK TO SLEEP , HAVEN'T YOU NOTICED ALL THE MINUS VOTES ONTHIS SITE ABOUT YOU , WE ALL KNOW WHAT YOU ARE .
The truth is more likely had they found a marijuan leaf in his house you would be busting your azz to defend this man. Now that there is not drugs, you hesitate in defending him. Where is the story? You liberals are going to go down for what you are doing to this country. Most of you need to be in jail for one reason or the other and many for treason.
We are pro-Constituion, not anti-government, just anti BIG, invading government who wantS to intrude upon our lives, liberty and pursuit of happiness. Those in the White House are not legitimately there and are nothing more than Chicago thug types who are treasonous intelopers who have put a foreign agent into our white house and because he is a known bi-racial, bi-sexual and double minded man with a forked tongue people like you who have an agenda want him there. He is a liar and is as against any American (including you, idiot, if you are an American) as he is US. WE ARE TRYING TO PROTECT OUR AND YOUR SORRY AZZ(ES.)
I think someone had a beef with this gentleman and gave the police false information. and they acted on it without first investigating. shame on the…
Maybe Sherrif Dumbnik heard Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin tipping the info?
Gary that was truly a dumb comment to make!
Uh-oh, Gary, Cougar's after you again.
James McPherson The Cut & Paste Queen!
I'm not after Gary James! It was nothing more than a very dumb comment which he made! Lol!
Oddly it sounded very much so like a comment that you would have made! Is there a connection here?
Maybe his parents will tell what happened. This man may have been targeted because Nancy Pelosi said that servicemen coming home were a danger. Perhaps she meant a danger to figuring out what these treasonous morons are doing to our country. Nancy Pelosi is a danger to herself and her community. She should be hospitalized.
He is a marine with weapons and they wanted him dead, at least that is the way it seems at this time. They do not seem to be saturaing the airways with a lot of information. We will see what commes of it.
Great – Sheriff's Deputy falls down because his 'clown suit' makes it hard not to be clumbsy – ex-marine gets murdered trying to enforce his God Given Rights, guaranteed under the Second and Fourth Amendments to the Constitution.
The Sheriff should be tried and executed for this murder.
Maybe the Sherrif Dumbnik oughta be put up before Jeffrey Loughner?
Gary i like your comment & i think that would be justified in this case provided that you gave Jeffrey Loughner one of his weapons .
Big Ugly good comment! I take back what i said of you as to possibly being another of James McPherson's jokes.
Yeah, it took Cougar a while to understand your point. But don't fret–often s/he never does.
If hat marine has friends and family in that country, that will more than likey happen. That dude may better not stop looking over his shoulders. Any of those who shot that man unless there was just cause will be living, knowing they are likely to have the same thing done to them or their families. People are tired of others using excessive force and violence against them and their friends and neighbors. People have a man in our White House who is ineligible to be there and who is destroying our country and the lawlessness of this lang will not only stay with the White House thugs. They have no monopoly on breaking the laws. People will soon have no respect for anything or anyone but their own.
What I would like to know is how the Police though that this X-Marine had drug. No drugs were turned up, why did they not if they suspected him of dealing drugs find drugs. Where did they get there information. Was he on survillance ? or just had friends that were know drug dealers. Was he gainfully employed .
Sherriff Dmbnik heard Rush Limbaugh's and Sarah Palin's voices saying he had drugs.
Well, I suppose Rush would know where drugs could be found.
James The Gay Cut & Paste Queen!
James Rush really bothers you doesn't he? Can it be because he is a real man where you are nothing more than some old balding gay guy who can not rate any longer?
no i think you are the one who would know
Gary as well your comment is one that a retard would make not of some one presumably intelligent.
hey elexa , shut up
Tsk, tsk, Gary. You've offended Cougar again.
tst,tsk duh , duh .
James McPherson The Cut & Paste queen!
No James Gary in Colo. has not offended me again! It was you!
"Gary as well your comment is one that a retard would make "
"Gary in Colo. has not offended me again"
Obviously you're lying again, Cougar–even as you prove my earlier point by obsessively answering anything you think I might have written with your inane and irrelevant insults and lies
And as long as you continue your pitifully ignorant lying, I'll keep sharing evidence, such as here: http://www.westernjournalism.com/palin-media-trea….
Or maybe here: http://www.westernjournalism.com/susan-daniels-
you know james , you have no evidence only a mouth that keeps spitting stupidity
Gary in Colo. are you trying to be humorous or exactly what is it that you are trying to say?
Yeah, Gary, you know s/he won't get it without lots of explanation–and probably not then.
You think this is funny that one of our marines is dead? You are making lite of this, you piece of lowlife, left-leaning, piece of nothingness? May you rot in your own stupidity.
I cvouldn't even bring the clip up so I would say this is censorship at it's worst. If the legal system and the politicals do something bad they can keep it in the dark !!!
As a "conservative", I , and many others have always been against the patriot act. The name itself is a farce and pure propaganda. It should be named the Anti-Patriot Act or Revocation of Rights Act. It severely diminishes our constitutional rights and gives the government an astounding amount of power over we the people. No warrant searches, wire tapping, and now murder. Swat teams were developed as a last resort solution. Now they seem to be the first choice on many occasions. Had the marine killed a couple of the Swat Team members and survived I bet they would have found drugs in the house and charged him with murder of police officers. The fix is in. The right to defend our home against criminal invasion no longer exists. The "SS" does exist in the US and it's government sponsored through the so called Patriot Act.
Charles though i disagree with you on The Patriot Act i must say that you comment was very good & you made some excellent points as well.
Don’t pawn your stupidity off on that. The intrepretion of laws are being taken out of context and twisted, just as you are doing now.
“After terrorists attacked the United States on September 11, 2001, Congress and the President of the United States passed the USA Patriot Act. Designed to allow law enforcement greater freedom in intercepting and tracking illegal activities, it also gave the Treasury Department greater flexibility in pursuing illegal money transactions suspected of funding terrorists.”
You would say that because you are hiding something yourself or your buddies on the left use this, twisted to set up Americans who they feel are getting in their way. There will always be those who have no idea what the Spirit of the Law is all about. They want to take words at their face value without their true meaning and twist them into some tool they can use for their own agenda. The Truth; the Spirit of the Law, that greater than man is what they are leaving out. It is what YOU are allowing to be left out.
The local county sheriff is the last line of defense of the Constitution at the local level, the county. Dupnik and his cronies need to be tried and convicted, that includes the thugs who raided this man's home and killed him under the pretext of law enforcement. With sheriffs like this who needs the Russians, the Chinese or Jihadists. Dupnik is a greater danger to our Constitution and our safety than our enemies abroad.
Dupnik is an idiot, He has already proven that by his past performance. The people of AZ need to get rid of this idiot as he is now starting to go house to house. Where is his proof of drugs that were not found? They need to ask for his sources. A snitch with a beef against someone who fought for this country? I am a conservative and I don't agree with the Patriot Act, it is for the liberals, socialists, communists to work against honest patriotic people.
Did this marine have a gun and is that conclusive?
This kind of incident is becoming all to regular and wrong addresses are frequent, it doesn't seem to me that any kind of recon and back check are being used to avoid wrong entry exercise. The new interpetation of the patriot law does a way with habeas corpus and kicks the 4th amendment aside, search and siezure can now be done on suspicion or alleged cause. Another right that needs to be reclaimed, my thinking is we have now made the slide down that slippery slope and crossed a very identifiable line.
This country is in very serious trouble within and without….The courts have now given over to the police the right to break the law.
ONTIME you & Charles have made some excellent points! I will have to reconsider my position on the Patriot Act. Keeping our nation safe from terrorist is my biggest concern..
Any law can be twisted and applied by thugs to where it is not being used for what it should be. That is why honorable men should be in powerful positions to safeguard this country, not bi-tongued liars with agendas foreign to this government. Their job is to get a following of fringes who have no leader, and who will look to people like Obama for a pat on the head to justify their sorriness of not working, taking dope and doing acts that are an abomination to God and indecent. Obama knew, as well as his handlers what is going on in this country using the fringes and race to get a bunch of the dumbest, indoctrinated to follow him. What they lack is consistency. What they want is a new thrill and they will move on from him if it interefers with their play time. He is like they, he likes to play and is irresponsible. He is a side show and meaningful only to those who are interested in destroying this Republic
Sheriff Dopenik has previously shown his disrespect for the law. He has obviously trained his SWAT team likewise. James, dear, I am a conservative, and I abhor the egregious, unconstitutional and poorly-named Patriot Act that was brought about by a stinking Republican, GWB, and renewed by morons in both political parties. We, the people, better get our heads out of our a$$es and quit the R and D game .. if we don't hang together, we will surely hang separately. Obama and his thugs who are carrying water for the NWO globalist elites delight in seeing American liberals and conservatives fighting each other .. so they will not notice that their country is being destroyed under their very noses. Wake up, partisans, this stupidity game is over.
"I abhor the egregious, unconstitutional and poorly-named Patriot Act that was brought about by a stinking Republican, GWB, and renewed by morons in both political parties."
Amen.
James McPherson The Cut & Paste Queen!
Gosh James you are a moron as well so i assume we will have to add you to this group?
Obviously not, Cougar, since I've regularly written in opposition to the Patriot Act while Goldbug was referring to people–like you, as a matter of fact–who favored it. Do try to keep up, though I know you're easily confused.
i was wondering where your liberal ass went , once again , right or wrong no one likes you or your comments
"i was wondering where your liberal ass went "
Huh? I've been here. Quick response to a 2-week-old comment, percy.
"right or wrong no one likes you or your comments"
Boo hoo. The truth hurts, huh?
YEAH IT FIGURES YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND MY COMMENT ABOUT THE TRUTH HURTS , AFTER ALL YOU REALLY ARE AN IDIOT , I MEAN JUST LOOK YOUR STILL SAYING SHIT THAT NO ONE REALLY CARES ABOUT MR. MINUS .
This country is becoming a police state more & more each day! Sheriff Dupnik & his Swat team should be investigated to the fullest & if fault is found all involved should be tried for the murder of this Marine or as a accomplice to murder.
"This country is becoming a police state more & more each day!"
You can thank the Patriot Act for that, Cougar.
James McPherson The Cut & Paste Queen!
James you can not blame everything on The Patriot Act that happens in law enforcement! Some law enforcement officers are very much so like you. Just Dumb!
"Some law enforcement officers" don't create a "police state," Cougar. But I understand why you wouldn't know that.
No, you can think your Obama sucking thugs and thugettes for that. He is not going to protect you unless you have millions to give to his agenda, idiot. You think he knows you exist?
meant to type THANK your Obama…
What are you hiding?
James McPherson The Gay Cut & Paste Queen!
James just how dumb can you get? Your response is just sick!
hey james what makes you think your opinions really count . you are so stupid to think that after all of your comments in the past no one has figured out who and what you are . what a dumb ass .
Percy Choate you hit the nail directly on the head! James McPherson is most definitely a dumb ass.
Thanks for helping prove my point, Cougar, and further justifying my existence here.
"no one likes you"
Boo hoo.
Quick response to a 2-week-old comment, percy.
THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH JAMES , IT COULD BE 10 YEARS OLD AND IT WOULD STILL BE THE TRUTH .
Boo hoo.
Quick response to a 2-week-old comment, percy.

So?
I'll look forward to your next response, in 7-10 weeks.
The French term for studio, atelier, in addition to designating an artist's studio is used to characterize the studio of a fashion designer. Atelier also has the connotation of being the home of an alchemist or wizard.
Was that a home invasion? In my world I would not think so, but things are a-changing, aren’t they? I frankly do not know what to think since they are allowing illegal immigrants to flow into this country and are shooting American citizens in their homes.
