“Why did you shoot my mom?”-(so sad...)
Early on the morning of May 30, 2009, Raul Flores heard a knock at the door of his Arivaca, Arizona, home. When he opened it, he found a man and a woman claiming to be law-enforcement officers in search of fugitives. Minutes later, the man shot Flores to death. Then, authorities say, he pumped three bullets into Flores’ wife, Gina Gonzalez, who survived but played dead. “Why did you shoot my mom?” Gonzalez’s 9-year-old daughter, Brisenia Flores, asked the gunman, according to prosecutors. Those were her last words. The man put a gun to her head, fired off two rounds, and killed her.

Another isolated incident of right wing tea party-type terrorism.

4. They will not do well in prison
It is my understanding that prison inmates don't take kindly to child murderers. The gunman who actually pulled the trigger should look forward to being gang raped and tortured when he goes into lock-down. Look for him on M$NBC Weekends coming soon. And I would not shed a tear.

5. Good, the trial is in Tucson.
I hope they hang 'em.

These law-and-order psychopaths do not deserve to live.

"Though the Pima County Attorney’s Office didn’t return calls for comment, prosecutors are expected to argue that Forde planned the home invasion with the intention of stealing drugs and money from Raul Flores to fund her border-policing activities."

7. More here on the Minutewoman shooter, who had San Diego ties:
http://www.eastcountymagazine.org/node/1419

This story so repulsed a local Minutewoman that she came forward to our media outlet with photos showing this woman had once trained locally and denounced the cold blooded killing of a child.

16. So sad....
She didn't deserve to die, but the s.o.b. who did this does, and he'll get his due, one way or another.

RIP Brisenia. I can't imagine what her family has been going through these last several months - peace and strength to them.
