There is always something in someone’s life that makes them decide to take some sort of action. That type of action is commonly called a reaction. I believe it is important to be proactive and not wait for the ball to drop on my house first. Derek is on the left, don’t let him be forgotten.
Any death is an emotional event. What makes this one different are a number of reasons. Derek Hale had received 2 commendations while in the Marines. He served two tours in Iraq before being discharged due to medical issues. Derek did not have a record, was not committing a crime, had no warrent sworn out on him and had no history of drugs, alcohol or mental problems. This was a citizen with an unblemished past, a record so clean he could have been on the presidential guard. This was a good Marine. On November 6th his life ended, not on the streets of Iraq, but right here in his own backyard. He was gunned down in cold blood by a terrorist team dressed as officers and parading around as Wilmington Police. That’s what it should have been, but it wasn’t. The officers were in fact Wilmington Police and they did the unspeakable. Read about it on the Rutherford Report above and then give your opinion.
In a world where the public no longer voices their opinion we will no longer have a world as we knew it yesterday. Establish your right to speak, express your opinion and bring back a power we are loosing as our future becomes our past.

On November 2nd, 2006 a dedicated decorated recently discharged Marine was helping a friend of his load some of her belongings into her car. As they took a break and chatted on the front step in Wilmington, De with his friends two children playing close by 3 vehicles pulled up releasing 8 to 12 paramilitary dressed officers. They were all shouting commands at him and within seconds fired a taser three times taking the young Marine to the ground. Without any further delay and as the Marine was trying to gain his senses he was shot 3 times in the chest killing him on the spot. The Marines name was Derek Hale, he had no criminal record, was not wanted by the police, had commited no crime and wasn’t under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The Wilmington Police along with the Delaware State Police syncronized this joint effort of homicide. I am calling for a trial by jury for the officer that fired the fatal shots. There is no room in our state for rogue police officers dishing out vigilante justice. Google Derek Hale on your PC and find out more about this incident.

I hope they get everything they deserve. As a victim of overzealous police myself, I hope they fry these SOBS
