A classic example of why we have gun crime in the United States.....and it isn't because law abiding people can own and carry guns....
Had this guy been kept in jail for 30 years for the various gun crimes he committed....these officers would still be alive....
Judge Ignored Warning Not To Release Deputy French's Killer - Then He Shot Three Officers
In response, U.S. Assistant Attorney Brian Faerstein warned Judge Kim about releasing Littlecloud. He said that Littlecloud had been in and out of jail for 12 years, and cited case after case that showed Littlecloud fired guns at victims, and did whatever he had to do to get away from the police and justice, including ramming police cars.
Faerstein told Judge Sallie Kim that they had recordings of Littlecloud threatening to shoot police, and that it was a “consistent” pattern with him.
He said, “The defendant has three prior firearms convictions and yet, here again, he was carrying a gun and had another gun in his car in the same bag as where, you know, over 75 grams of pure meth was found. This is conduct that is continuing and it’s, it’s, he’s not learning from his past mistakes.”
However, Judge Kim refused to listen to prosecutors, or consider the evidence in front her (Littlecloud’s criminal history), and released him. She said that she had “misgivings,” and it would only take “one violation” to send Littlecloud straight back to jail.
He was apparently supposed to go to the New Bridge Foundation drug and alcohol rehabilitation on Monday, August 28, but records show that he did not complete treatment. He also did not go back to federal court.
And on August 30, a multi-agency auto theft task force was conducting an investigation at the Ramada Inn and was going to search a room connected to an auto theft ring. Littlecloud opened fire on officers through the door and walls, striking two CHP officers.
If the anti gunners cared more about stopping gun crime, and less about punishing law abiding gun owners, this guy would never have been out of jail....
