Thread: Support For Jamiel’s Law Is Growing

Support For Jamiel’s Law Is Growing; etc.
From: Mike Corsano (e-mail him)

Our Sunday August 24th rally in support of Jamiel Shaw Jr. and a proposed law that would permit police to investigate, detain and possibly deport illegal alien criminals got an excellent turnout with a lot of encouragement from honking drivers as they passed by.

As V DARE. COM readers know, Shaw is the young boy shot and killed by two assailants. One of them, illegal alien Pedro Espinoza, had been released from jail only the day before.

But Special Order 40 and Los Angeles’s sanctuary city policy protect Espinoza.

The Shaw family and its allies have been meeting every weekend at Leimert Park gathering signatures to put the law on the ballot.

The Shaws are U.S. citizens. When he was killed, his mother, Army Sgt. Anita Shaw, was serving in Iraq.

On a previous weekend, the Los Angeles Police Department harassed us by asking for social security cards and driver’s licenses. Overhead helicopters hovered and the park’s rest rooms were locked.

Our group was further told, falsely, that it is illegal to gather signatures in the park and pass out free bottles of water.

While Special Order 40 prevents the police from questioning known punks apparently it is permissible to harass U.S. citizens peacefully assembling to exercise their lawful rights to gather signatures for a law that would benefit every Los Angeles resident.

But this week’s meet up was especially heartening.

Chelene Nightingale from Save Our State, patriots Terry Anderson, Barbara Coe, Ted Hayes, Walter Moore (LA Mayoral candidate and author of Jamiel's Law), Frank Jorge (fiery as ever) and an older local black man who spoke very eloquently about how the black community is suffering from the invasion of illegal aliens.

Several vendors had t-shirts with Antonio Villaragosa's picture in a circle with the slash going through it. It was extremely popular.

Many people signed the petition initiative to put Jamiel’s Law on the ballot to require the Mayor and the LAPD to investigate and arrest gang members here illegally before they get caught committing crimes—not just afterwards. (See Chief Bill Bratton’s heartless defense of Special Order 40 here.)

I spoke privately with Jamiel Shaw Sr. (see him on YouTube here) for about 20 minutes about his son (he was being recruited by my alma mater Rutgers), the tragic circumstances of his boy's murder and the Shaw family’s shameless treatment by the Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Michelle Hanisee (since taken off the case).

Shaw and Anita raised young Jamiel to do well in school, excel in athletics, stay out of gangs and trouble and prepare for college.

Hopefully the Shaw tragedy will be a catalyst to bring more good American citizens into the immigration reform fold and to highlight for those who have thus far ignored it the harmful—and occasionally deadly—effects of uncontrolled illegal immigration.
