Waking up in Southern California is to discover ever breaking scandals — sex and drugs being covered in the press. Yet, one scandalous issue is not yet been picked up by the national wires. That, in itself, may be a scandal.
Recall just last March the murder of Jamiel Shaw by an illegal alien gangbanger. In the wake of the murder has come a movement to pass Jamiel’s Law, a push to endrun LA’s Special Order 40 which has hamstrung law enforcement from picking up known illegal alien criminals.
Who knew that Jamiel’s Law might become a bone of political contention?
Jamiel Shaw Sr. is calling on District Attorney Steve Cooley to remove Deputy D.A. Michelle Henisee from his son’s murder case. [...]
Shaw Sr. stated on the Friday show that Henisee try to get the Shaw Family to drop their campaign to modify Special Order 40 with the Walter Moore written “Jamiel’s Law”, and hinted that a different portrait of Jamiel Shaw Jr. would be introduce in trial if the Shaw Family did not waver in their crusade.
Local radio has been covering this evolving scandal, as reported
L.A. District Attorney Steve Cooley called into KFI’s John and Ken to comment on his meeting with Jamiel Shaw, Sr, and responded to Shaw’s claims that the prosecuting attorney Michele Hanisee tried to impinge upon his first amendment rights by trying to have Mr. Shaw stop his talk of Jamiel’s Law publicly, and if he dropped it; the prosecutor wouldn’t make claims that Shaw, Jr. had gang affiliations.[...]
Cooley started off the call to John and Ken by letting the people know that the prosecutor (Michele Hanisee) was replaced by two attorneys including Bobby Grace (who won a high profile case recently) and Helene Danadina.
Cooley says that he in no way, shape or form communicated this message to Michelle and says that she didn’t say this and that he felt there was a communication breakdown.
Yes. Breakdown. That’s the ticket. That’s also why this is being covered only on the radio and internet, too. Just nothing to see. Move along.

Horrible.
Plus, why should it make a difference whether Jamiel had gang affiliations? At the time he was shot, he was minding his own business walking down the street of his neighborhood in broad daylight. He would have gone to college on a football scholarship and left any gang affiliation behind him.
The guy who shot him didn’t know anything about him.
It sickens me that the people who wrote Special Order 40 with good intentions can’t bear to admit it has unintended, horrible consequences. How shameful.

Hm. I wish it hadn’t been John and Ken: I just don’t trust those two not to blow ANYTHING out of proportion. They are kind of the yellow journalism of talk radio.
That said, there is one thing we can agree on, and that is that people who are (1) here illegally, and (2) have other criminality in their backgrounds, either here or in their countries of origin, they need go leave. Like, now.
