The media and the Guerena murder

I’m gratified that our harping on this case is finally getting a certain measure of media attention. As Ponsdorf mentioned the other day, the foreign press is picking up on it. Forbes finally noticed it.

I’m also grateful that the Huffington Post has finally mentioned it in a well-written piece by James Peron. The only fault that I can find with it, is that they don’t name Sheriff Clarence Dupnik as the main culprit for concealing from the public critical information so we can judge for ourselves the culpability in the case.

In fact, if you search the page for “Dupnik” you’ll see that his name doesn’t occur until a commenter mentions him, and it appears that one comment which that commenter made was deleted by HuffPo;

Of course, that’s no real surprise when HuffPo readers lined up behind DUpnik when he took shots at the Right after the Tucson shooting. A quick search of HuffPo turns up overwhelming support Dupnik by authors as well as commenters – but they can’t say a cross word about him when he murders a veteran who still appears to be completely innocent.

And there’s no one asking why a one hour stay and seven second shoot out is taking more than three weeks to investigate. The Arizona Star reports that DUpnik may never release documents related to the murder of Corporal Guerena;

Dupnik said opening up those documents would put someone’s life at risk. An informant? Presumably, but he wouldn’t say.

“I don’t know when they are going to be unsealed, if ever,” he said. “Those are the real sensitive parts of why we are having difficulty with trying to put information out publicly – because we don’t want to get somebody killed.”

Too late, dipshit.

By the way, we’re having trouble finding a legitimate way to get money to Corporal Guerena’s family. If you know or can find a way, please let us know through the contact options at the top of the page.
