I FOR ONE AM NOT SURPRISED

by Bob Walsh

There was a very interesting AP piece on the front page (above the fold) of my local fishwrapper, the Stockton RECORD, yesterday. It commented on the fact that six young men who were involved in the Ferguson protests (riots) have since died, and sort-of speculated some sort of conspiracy MIGHT BE at work.

One of the interesting things I found out when I was on the grand jury here some years back is that the average murder VICTIM in San Joaquin County had 3.4 felony convictions. That is not to say that honest, straight citizens don't get murdered. They do. Nor should it imply that criminals deserve to get murdered. It merely points out that they engage in activities which lead them into risky situations which sometimes end up with them dead.

Of the six dead "demonstrators" spoken to, two were found dead in a burnt-out car. Three others were apparently suicides. One was an O.D. on a bus.
