A fucking multi-house warrant...

Vanessa Guerena thought the gunman might be part of a home invasion -- especially because two members of her sister-in-law's family, Cynthia and Manny Orozco, were killed last year in their Tucson home, her lawyer, Chris Scileppi, said. She shouted for her husband in the next room, and he woke up and told his wife to hide in the closet with the child, Joel, 4.

Guerena grabbed his assault rifle and was pointing it at the SWAT team, which was trying to serve a narcotics search warrant as part of a multi-house drug crackdown, when the team broke down the door. At first the Pima County Sheriff's Office said that Guerena fired first, but on Wednesday officials backtracked and said he had not. "The safety was on and he could not fire," according to the sheriff's statement.


SWAT team members fired 71 times and hit Guerena 60 times, police said.

2. How can you justify a multi-house warrant to begin with?

Oh... let's pick a neighborhood and assume that because it's in a low-rent or minority district that there are automatically drugs.

WTF happened to reasonable cause?

7. Dupnik has been Sheriff for 31 years, do not question his authoritah!

3. The actual number...

...isn't particulary relevant. You point a gun at a dozen SWAT officers with automatic weapons you are naturally going to get hit a few times if a shot goes off, or a car backfires or a punk kid lights off a firecracker, and sets things in motion.

4. How is this legal?

Just come in guns blazing with machine guns and fire at the first person who stood up to see who it was? So much for personal rights....welcome to America :scared:

5. multi house search warrant are the ones

left over from our invasion of Iraq. Everyone is guilty in the war on drugs, that's why the unemployed and those on welfare have to

have urine tests to obtain benefits.

6. Sheriff Dupnik, the same Sheriff that capitolized on the Giffords shooting by

declaring that gun laws are too lax.
