Today, Jamiel Shaw Sr spoke on the John and Ken radio show on KFI (Los Angeles)on the pending prosecution of Pedro Espinoza for the murder of Jamiel Shaw Jr. Mr Shaw is due to meet with LA DA Steve Cooley tomorrow and is demanding that the asst. DA assigned to the case (Michelle Hennessey) be taken off.
According to Mr Shaw, the prosecutor has been spending the last couple of months investigating young Jamiel-the victim! The reason is, according to Mr Shaw, that the prosecutor is trying to show that the victim was a member of a gang-or at least, the killer thought that was the case since Jamiel had a Spiderman backpack that was partially red, a gang color. That would enable the prosecutor to argue that the killing was gang-motivated rather than a hate crime committed simply because Jamiel was black. (Jamiel Shaw had no gang affiliation. He was simply an innocent random victim.)
Mr Shaw also states that the prosecutor has tried to pressure him to drop his efforts to have Special Rule 40 amended to allow police to act against known illegal alien gang members.
When asked if he has heard lately from the City Council, he responded, "Nothing. They don't care."
To be fair, I am presenting Mr Shaw's statements without the benefit of the DA's side of this story. It is Mr Shaw's feeling that the city wants to downplay any suggestion that blacks are being targeted by Latino gang members based simply on their race. I think it is vital, however, for the DA's office to speak out and clarify this matter.

Absolutely unbelievable!!! I am listening to McIntyre in the Morning at the moment, and Mr. Shaw, Jamiel's dad is on. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!!! Hennessey needs to be taken off the case, how dare she! I have said of late, that there will be a day when a mass murderer will be able to sue the remaining families of their victims, for not taking them out of town on the day the perp choose to kill them, so that the victims would not have been available to be killed. Ridiculous, maybe, but not too far off. Make the victims responsible for their death BLOODY GREAT!!! Welcome to LA.
This is what LA has come to. City Hall, the mayor, the city council, the police chief and now the DA-all protecting illegal alien gang members at the expense of law abiding people.
National attention needs to be brought upon LA.
By the way, Bill O'Reilly asked Hillary Clinton point blank if she would crack down on sanctuary cities. Her answer, point blank, was "No".
