[...] It is probably a total coincidence, but Parkland is 22 miles down I-5 from Evergreen State College, the radical leftist school that helped create Rachel Corrie and Andrew Mickel, the later of which ambushed a police officer in Nov 2002, and is now on death row. Another radical leftist shot and killed a police officer on Halloween after firebombing four police cars on Oct. 22, and was in turn shot earlier this month. [...]

From Confederate Yankee: Huckabee Paroled Cop Killer
[...] If Huckabee—now a Fox News personality—did set this man free, his aspirations for a future White House run may be over.
Update: The Times confirms that Huckabee set this suspect free. [END]
I never did like the Huckster and now, if this is so, I will never listen to the thug again ever.

Robert Stacy McCain's on the news big time, "UPDATE: 4 Police Officers Ambushed, LATEST: Ark. Man Sought for Questioning."
But the story's taking a deeply significant political angle. See Michelle Malkin, "Violent Felon Granted Clemency by Huckabee Now Sought in Lakewood, WA Police Ambush." Also, at Confederate Yankee, "Huckabee Paroled Cop Killer."

UPDATE 4:55 a.m. ET: More from KIRO at SWAT standoff in Seattle:
Several bangs, followed by sound of breaking glass, then a louder explosion from Leschi standoff scene.
Obviously, the police want to end this before dawn. They've got night-vision equipment; Clemmons doesn't.

As a 34 year law enforcement veteran I'm f...ing pissed off about many things. First, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that the "atmosphere" about police and military in the mainstream media and the Washington beltway is nothing less than condescending and adversarial starting with the President on down. Remember when soldiers and police officers being specifically targeted because of what they were was laughed at when it was brought up in the "hate crime" debate? We were a f...ing joke! We were disposable, less than average citizens, and have become "whipping boys and girls" for many things outside our control. We have an Attorney General that I swear despises us (military and police.) I started my career in 1976 and I remember what it was like coming to work worrying about being shot or our station being bombed simply because of what we were. That was under the Carter administration and I don't think it is a co-incidence that those same feelings have re-surfaced under the elitist bastards that control our Government and Judicial system right now. There wasn't that feeling under Reagan. They have nothing but disdain for us, regardless of their empty words of support. They look at us as nothing more than cannon fodder while they decide how to use us to violate the Constitutional rights of citizens that stand in their way and plot to use us as enforcers of big Government while at the same time they piss on us, our neighbors, and our families every day. Four officers were murdered in cold blood because of the jobs they held and what that represents. How is that any different from the pigmentation of someone's skin, their sexual preference or religion? What about the soldiers murdered recently? Are they less than citizens? Let's worry about "diversity" and the feelings of people of a certain religion and ignore the race of a murdering, raping, piece of sh.t because it is politically correct and after all, we're only cops and soldiers that are being murdered. We somehow have become disposable in the "big picture". I've lived through that before and it wasn't pretty and I'm tired of that attitude. I reject words of sympathy from those that have laughed and giggled every time another government action screws us, I despise those that think soldiers are nothing but a bunch of uniforms that can be used as political pawns that can be placed in harm's way without support. We're people in your communities, we have families, wives, children, grandchildren, friends, neighbors, and we don't complain much as a general rule. Enough is enough. You want to support us? Get rid of these f...ing politicians in power now, get rid of these liberal judges, and start acting like patriots that support our Constitution and do something about it. That's all we've ever asked you to do. We don't give a rat's ass about restricting law abiding citizens' rights and gun control, we look to those citizens as our backup and support. These idiots in power now want to restrict law abiding citizen's rights while at the same time empowering criminals ability to do what they did. Anyone wonder why most cops and soldiers are conservative? We have f...ing common sense and we live it every day and that's how we survive. Sometimes we die when common sense isn't applied. BEWARE if a single politician mentions that the reason why these officers died is because of guns. Cops aren't that stupid. They died because some idiot was let out of prison, was allowed to be out on bail when he shouldn't have been, because the idea that "killing police" was a positive thing and our current society has allowed the "thingification" of police officers to the point where they aren't mothers, brothers, fathers, or husbands... they were things. That doesn't happen overnight. I've lived through this before and one of the bastards that "thingified" police was one of the President's "buddies". We've become the equivalent of aborted babies. We're not real people that matter. These radical left wing idealogues are killing us... literally. Take off the blinders and look at them for what they really are. Four cops are dead and they'll be more... many more. We die every day. Don't let them get away with playing politics with our lives... that's all we've ever asked.
I am in full agreement with all the above. The "seers" watching out for the those needed protection are usually the ones that get shat upon. Odd that is for sure.
