Austin Cop Killer's Excuse; Ninth Circuit COA Goes to Hawaii

Austin cop killer pathetic excuse From the Austin American Statesman 4/23/12 24-year-old Brandon Montgomery Daniel in the fatal shooting of Austin senior police officer Jaime Padron, Daniel's mother, Mary O'Dell, the only family member who has spoken publicly since Padron's death, told the newspaper in a 20-minute interview last week that her son is highly intelligent but was increasingly overcome in recent months from the stress of a breakup with his longtime girlfriend and adjusting to a new life in Austin. She said on the night of Padron's death, her son had taken prescription anxiety medication and was not aware of his actions. "He has absolutely no memory of it," said O'Dell, who has visited her son in jail. ........ Boo-hoo-hoo, poor little Brandon. Why I'll never run for any office again The New York Times has dug up a story from 50 years ago about Mitt Romney supposedly bullying another student. "Mitt Romney returned from spring break in his senior year to find that John Lauber, a quiet, offbeat type, had bleached his hair blond. Mr. Romney, brandishing a pair of scissors, led other boys on a hunt for Mr. Lauber, teasing him and holding him down while Mr. Romney snipped off his long locks." Of course the NYT loves it because the other student later came out as gay. The reason we have such a poor field in most presidential elections is that qualified leaders like Colin Powell and David Petraeus don't want their reputations shredded and their families brutalized.
