Incestuous Relationships in Fullerton?

For all you UC Santa Cruz Community Studies majors, Fullerton is a small town in northern Orange County. In the past 5 months, the city has been wracked by the police beating death of a homeless man named Kelly Thomas, whose own father is a retired cop. Two officers have been indicted, and  4 others apparently still under investigation. As a retired DEA agent and former military policeman, I don't rush to judgment in these matters, but from what we know so far, this does not look good at all.

Also under fire is the Fullerton City Council and the buffoon mayor of Fullerton, a guy named Dick Jones. The blog, Friends for Fullerton's Future, which I have just linked on Fousesquawk, is all over this matter. Below is their most recent article.

But fear not, oh Fullerton residents. Native son, Rusty Kennedy, CEO of the Orange County Human Relations Commisssion, is on the job. He has been appointed to head a Homeless Task Force on the recommendation of City Council member Pat McKinley, who is the former Chief of Police of Fullerton as well as a former OCHRC board member.

Take particular note in the comment thread (#60). Reader Van explains the alleged relationship between Kennedy and McKinley.

"And let us not forget ex-Fullerton police chief and proud member of the Orange County Human Relations(OCHRC), Fullerton council person Pat McKinley’s colleague, Rusty Kennedy. The same Rusty Kennedy who was given a glowing recommendation from Pat McKInley to act as head of the Fullerton Task Force on Homelessness. Now, how would Pat McKinley know Rusty would do a good job directing this task force? Because Rusty Kennedy also is the CEO of the OCHRC who acts as a clearing house for OC residents who complain their civil rights have been violated by law enforcement. Now, maybe it is just me, but I find it strange that Fullerton Police Dept.’s long history of police abuse upon our community never caught the attention of Rusty Kennedy and his commission.I wonder if this was due to then Fullerton Police Chief Pat McKinley serving on the board of same commission. I’m sure Rusty Kennedy will do a good job as director of the Fullerton Task Force On Homelessness in Fullerton, just ask his colleague, Pat McKinley."

Nor did anti-Semitic hate speech at UC Irvine ever catch the attention of Kennedy and his white elephant, $300,000 a year OCHRC although I sure tried to bring it to his attention. (He ignored it.) Kennedy prefers to bestow honors on people like former head of the Islamic Society of North America Imam Muzammil Siddiqi with his prestigious annual "Rusty Award" (pictured below):


                                                                                                                            

 
 
"I don't think that's funny, Fousesquawk!"


And don't forget, this is the same "Human Relations" guy who went off to South Africa on the tax-payers' dime to attend the Durban Conference that was dedicated to bashing Israel, as well as fete none other than the below humanitarian for winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
 

So sleep well tonight, all you homeless folks in Fullerton. Rusty Kennedy is on the job.
