This book was suggested to me by an FTO in 1985. It left quite an impression. This murder happened the year after I was born. That is too long for a cop killer to live. I'm just glad he was never paroled.

Continued peaceful rest to Officer Ian Campbell.
As for the guy getting his last headline today...may he spend eternity missing the warm embrace of the California correctional system.

It's a shame it took so long and yours and my tax dollars had to try and keep him alive while someone else was starving on the street.

Good riddance POS.
SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM-Ex-Sheriff Martin Howe to Will Kane in "High Noon"
"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.

May he rot in hell.
For the morning will come. Brightly will it shine on the brave and true, kindly upon all who suffer for the cause, glorious upon the tombs of heroes. Thus will shine the dawn.
