The blind leading the blind
Three members of a jazz band were shot by Los Angeles police Monday afternoon in relation to a massive hunt for an avenging ex-cop, police and witnesses said.
Police were reportedly acting on a tip in their search for Christopher Jordan Dorner when they stopped a van at an Arco station on La Cienega Boulevard near Interstate 405.The van was carrying three members of a Dave Brubeck tribute band and their manager.Police then allegedly started shooting at the blue 1989 Ford Aerostar, hitting three men and riddling the van with bullet holes.
The three men, later identified as members of The Brubeck Ambassadors Jazz Band, were treated at the scene for gunshot wounds before being taken to an area hospital in stable condition, police said. The band’s manager was unharmed.
The shooting occurred as local, state and federal police are conducting a massive search for Dorner, 33, an ex-LAPD officer who is suspected of fatally shooting an Orange County couple and three Riverside police officers, one of whom died.
Dorner reportedly declared in an online manifesto that he is seeking revenge against former LAPD colleagues he blames for ending his career. Authorities are offering $1 million for information leading to Dorner’s arrest. Dorner's truck was found in Big Bear, Calif., last week.
All three of Monday's shooting victims are white. Dorner is described as African-American, 6 feet tall and 270 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Satire????
ReplyDeleteThis comment in the article leads me to believe it is;
“The public should be assured that we are doing everything we can to capture Christopher Dorner, even if it means shooting at every car and every person in California.”
Never mind that the police spokesperson seems to be named Fryday, as in Joe Friday maybe.
Rueben Kincaid is mentioned as the name of the band manager. I believe that the manager of the Partridge Family went by the same name.
The facts ma'am...just the facts.

I believe the Daily Currant is a publication specializing in SATIRE, like The Onion. In other words, that article is probably not true at all... just a spoof. And supporting that possibility, I could not find any mention of the band getting shot up in any other news source.
ReplyDeleteYou are both correct.:) Sorry.
DeleteAn honest mistake. These guys are stupid enough to rack up their own FUBARs by the dozen. They don't need our help.

"What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have?'
ReplyDeleteAnother time, other forms, but make no mistake, were Patrick Henry here he would just give that same speech that I call the greatest speech ever given on this sub-continent. It closes with these words.
"It is vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, peace, peace; but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?
Forbid it, Almighty God — I know not what course others may take; but as for me — give me liberty or give me death!"
A great Virginian and that's saying a lot.
DeleteLast sentence of the article:
ReplyDelete"Police also confirmed reports that they have placed hip-hop star and actor LL Cool J, who physically resembles Dorner, on high alert."
You can't make this stuff up.
