And for you to created a site called "Bless Andy Raya" is despicable and shows you to be a morally bankrupt individual. Whatever your grievances with the city police, to support a person gunning down a cop in cold blood is disgusting. I hope Andy Raya's black soul is rotting in hell. Andy Raya is a cop killer. And for you to created a site called “Bless Andy Raya” is despicable and shows you to be a morally bankrupt individual.

I hope Andy Raya’s black soul is rotting in hell.

In the months that followed the El Campo Farm Labor Camp and the poorest areas of Stanislaus County resembled a war zone.

Sigh, from the m0uth of a foreigner... Our military is made up entirely of <em>volunteers</em>. To suggest otherwise is such a played-out meme, and shows a complete lack of knowledge about the US Military and recruiting (what part of Asia do you live in, Sean?) Other countries with "more selective, better trained" troops would still get their asses handed to them if they were pitted against the US Military. A “military machine of virtual conscripts”?

When you're from a minority and the only reasonably well paid job you can get is in the military, you're bound to get a few unhinged people applying and getting in. Regardless of whether they are truly susceptible to PTSD or not.

Let's be realistic, America: No one should have to see the horrific atrocities that our young men and women in the military are seeing every single day and moment in Iraq. These experiences are traumatic. Just keep looking at the picture of Corporal Raya, where he is holding a sign in his barracks to express what he's seen over there. He had such an innocent face. He was a baby, never having ever seen the other side of the world. Of course I do not condone his actions and my condolences to the family of Officer Stevenson.
