We Should All be Outraged!

Albuquerque resident, June Ortega, is accused of beating her baby (Nevaeh) to death. The name “Nevaeh” is heaven spelled backwards. Ortega is in custody for the crime. Ortega looked very refreshed and unconcerned when she appeared for arraignment in Metro Court. After losing her baby, Ortega did not seem concerned about the death or the pending charges. We know some “Liberal Bleeding Heart” out there is going to write in and state that Ortega is in shock and poor thing... We say, “DAMN YOU!” How do you think that innocent baby who has been repeatedly beaten felt?

SIDE BAR

The case has spawned public outrage. According to a Channel 4 News anchor, “The case has shaken up…even the most veteran law enforcement.” The next footage shown is of a very young girl from APD. Here is a question; where is this zit-faced kid a veteran? KOB 4 is consistently presenting information that is skewed and misrepresentative of the real facts. We thought Channel 7 was partnered with the Albuquerque Journal. It is obvious Channel 4 is sensationalizing things to gain ratings. This is a new low even for Channel 4.

END SIDE BAR

The City keeps running into case after case where a baby or small child has been severely injured or killed by a parent or guardian. Why? Is it a parenting issue? Are these people using drugs? What is the core issue(s) surrounding this demonic behavior? Why this mayor and chief haven’t done anything to research the problem, take appropriate action and save these children is a mystery.

Something needs to change. If a person is found guilty of killing a child; it should be an automatic death sentence. There is not EVER an acceptable reason for hurting a child. Think about it, why did our society conduct public hangings back in the day? Why does the Mexican Drug Cartel hang people in public places like off bridges? It sends a clear message that certain behavior(s) are not acceptable and will not be tolerated.

Note: We DO NOT condone the Mexican Drug Cartel; they were used as an example to prove a point.

We as a society will do whatever it takes to protect property and financial vestments but our greatest treasures are our kids. Yet, we all say, “What that person did is awful; they should die for what they’ve done!” and we go about our business. Shame on us for not demanding more from our public servants and elected officials and accepting that they do nothing.

For every child that is injured or killed and nothing is done about it by the mayor and/or the chief; we find they are just as guilty of hurting that child as are the offender. We desperately need a new mayor and chief who will serve the people and not be self-serving.

SHOTS FIRED! BUT WHY? SOMEONES LYING...

This past Monday, December 17, 2012, APD's SWAT team was activated to deal with a barricaded subject who officers had found hiding in the roof of a house on Shirley NE. As events spilled out of control into a shooting, the 5th Floor went into crisis mode in an effort to conceal details of the actual event.  The 5^th Floor spokeswoman Officer Tasia Martinez released the following statement:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

…[a]t approximately 7:00 p.m. the suspect believed to be Sosa opened the garage door of the home and fled the area at a high rate of speed, stealing Chavez’s vehicle, purse and cell phone. As Sosa fled he drove the vehicle in the direction of police and residents who were on the outer perimeter of the scene, charging directly at Officer Randal White who was standing by his vehicle at his perimeter post. As Sosa drove at Officer White, Officer White fired his weapon at the charging vehicle in effort to prevent the suspect from running him over. The vehicle then drove around Officer White’s vehicle, onto the pedestrian sidewalk to breach the perimeter.

The suspect fled in a Green 2005 Toyota Camry. Detectives continue their active search for Sosa. Detective have received information from witnesses who have seen Sosa since the incident occurred and received report that Sosa is not injured and is actively evading police capture.

No residents or officers sustained any injuries in this incident.

Yet, as what has become standard form, what is stated, supported, reinforced, and held to be fact by APD's chief, Ray Schultz, and his other diminutive chiefs, has little bearing to reality. Our Eyes tell us the vehicle that was shot at ONLY had its rear window shot out and only its rear window. We wonder how a vehicle fleeing from Officer White justified the use of deadly force. While Officer White may have felt reasonably justified in firing at the car, we at the Eye are concerned that Officer Martinez and Chief Schultz have now boxed Officer White into a corner where he will have to confirm their lies, and thus lie himself OR speak the truth and assert a different story. Either way the truth appears to be the shot were fired at the car as it was fleeing the perimeter and not as it was approaching posted personnel. Our Eyes also tell us several citizens had to dive for cover in fear of being shot by the 3-4 rounds fired at the car...
