    "Police: Man Killed Weymouth Officer With Own Gun, Fatally Shot Bystander"

    Here we go again... violent offender Emanuel Lopes who sold cocaine to children, assaulted police and resisted arrest was....yep.....you guessed it let out on 5k bail and he immediately began breaking into a home. When the officer, 42 yrs old, veteren, father of two young children showed up to the call, Emanuel Lopes grabbed a rock and smashed the officer in the head with it, he then grabbed the officers gun and shot him in the head and chest multiple times, as he fled the scene, he thought it a good idea to shoot and kill a 77yr old women standing in her living room for the fun of it.
    We have yet another liberal judge who coddled this stone cold killer by actively lowering his bail for him in order for him to be let back out, even worse, let him out without so much as an ankle bracelet which directly led to an officer and an innocent woman getting killed.
    Is it time to hold judges responsible for negligent homicide?
    This is no different than letting a viscious dog loose on a playground.
    I for one have had enough of these disgusting liberal judges. This just happened a couple months ago as well and apparently these scumbag leftist judges said FU to the MA citizens who protested the last time.

    I couldn’t agree with you more.

    Judges make me sick & they don’t have to answer to anyone for being wrong.

    The higher courts couldn’t care less about the constitution. They all legislate from the bench.

    Of the 9th circuit of appeals decisions reviewed by the Supreme Court, 80% were overturned.

    A coin would be about 30% more accurate.

    Here in Massachusetts this goes on waaaayyyyyy to often. The word on the street here is these judges are taking cash payoffs from drug dealers. They have to be, no judge is this dumb unless hes getting paid to make these decisions. These drug dealers are let off with a frightening level of pat on the wrist sentences. No way this is happening unless these judges are taking payoffs. No way.

    hIS PRIOR ARREST WAS IIN September 2017,YTHE 77 YEAR OLD WOMAN HE SHOT WAS INSIDE HER HOME.He was running from the police who were chasing him, after he had shot the officer,one of Lopez shots struck and killed the woman who was inside her home.The moron shooter and murderer is only 20 years old!He deserves the death penalty but I don't believe Mass. uses it anymore.Taxpayers should not be forced to clothe and feed this dirtbag for the rest of his life.

    I think the issue here also lies equally with these judges who routinely hand hard criminals a slap on the wrist.

    Liberals allowed this to happen with their policies.

    Kind of late to hear them whine about it now.

    liberal judges here in Ma repeatedly allow criminals back on the street. This time the liberal judge got two innocent people killed. I wonder how much this judge got paid to let him off. He let the guy out without so much as an address to find him again.

    I grew up in Weymouth. It use to be a real nice town. Then it changed to a city & diversity & drugs increased dramatically. You can now find needles in the streets & it is now not a place I would want to raise my children.

    I honestly would never live in a town that had public transportation. The near by town of Randolph that use to be a nice Jewish town, added a bus to Mattapan & the demographics of the town changed, crime increased, and property value decreased.

    Actually, the Supreme court tends to review those cases most likely to be overturned. All appeals courts had most of their reviewed cases overturned or vacated. The fact that the Supreme court revues less than 0.1% of the 9th's cases indicates they are pretty good. It would be accurate to say that 99.92% of the 9th's are not overturned.

    As to legislating from the bench. The previous chief justice, William Rehnquist, wrote in his book that it was a shame that the court system is being used to legislate but he said that they had no choice. Congress, full of lawyers, continually passed laws that would not stand up to judicial challenges and they knew that they wouldn't when they wrote them. He said that they did this so they could write popular laws for their bases and then could blame the failure of the laws on the court system. He also went on to say that Republican written laws were the worst but not only offenders.
    He really would like the courts to not have to spend so much time and energy on these doomed to fail and they knew it laws but unfortunately there's no power in the constitution alloted the courts to hold congress in contempt for being dicks.

    The Left will never alter their liberal dogma until one of them takes a hit and that's highly unlikely, especially in the case of judges, because they and theirs will be safely ensconced within their patrolled and gated communities.

    Riiiiight. Moving on. Another aspect of this case that should be highlighted, a trained police officer, on alert, had his gun taken from him and used on him. Back in the day when the CDC could still study gun fatalities they found that you were twice as likely to be shot and killed by your own gun by an intruder than you were likely to shoot the intruder. Pretty bad odds that and people should take that into consideration when purchasing a gun for the home. That doesn't include accidental shooting either, just by an intruder.

    You raise a valid point, but the Supreme Court cherry picks the cases they are willing to hear.
    Just because they only review a small number of the 9th circuit’s cases, does not mean all their other decisions are correct.

    The Supreme Court also legislates from the bench. If Vegas had odds on how each judge was going to vote, they would be bankrupt, out of business and we would all be rich.

    because here in MA judges do this all the time. By his actions hes a liberal. This now murderer sold cocaine to a child and resisted arrest and assaulted a police officer. What does the judge do here in MA? Same thing they always do actively lower the bail to 5 grand which this criminal paid on the spot, then claimed hes homeless despite driving a BMW he "borrowed" and having 5k walking around money. Judge lets him go with no address, no ankle bracelet no nothing...he then goes on to kill two innocent people. Explain to me how that isnt a liberal judge. Hes responsible for negligent homicide. At least he didnt call the drug deal an entrepeneur like the last MA liberal judge who let a drug dealer off who immediately went out and killed a cop. Who holds judges responsible...us?

    judges are supposed to protect us from these people. These Massachusetts liberal judges are doing everything in their power to help violent drug dealers back on the street.

    News just in, scammers here in weymouth are collecting money for the fallen officer and putting it in their own pockets. Nice state these judges are creating.

    Totally agree. I grew up in Plymouth "Americas Hometown"..we used to leave our doors open, then drug dealers moved in, my cars were routinely broken into, then my house destroyed by druggies who broke in, cops told us to call insurance and forget about it, I identified my wifes jewelery from the pawn shop photos...the detectives went and talked to the person identified as the seller...surprise they said they didnt do it and it was their grandmothers. I tell the detective they were one of a kind pieces I had made thats impossible, he tells me nothing they can do. So I packed my house up and moved out of my home town where druggies are coddled.

    Since you cited odds, lets see if you can cite another odd for us.
    Tell us what the odds of this guy killing the cop and a woman in her own living room are if the judge didnt let this violent drug dealer of children out on ridiculous bail?
    If we remove liberal judges like this from the bench do our odds of safety go up or down?
    I expect honest answers.

    You continue to state the judge is a liberal without any proof of that. There are many cases of conservative judges doing the same.

    You think a conservative judge lets violent drug dealers to children off with a 5k bail, no ankle bracelet and no address to locate him?
    Hes a leftist by his actions not my opinion. Two innocent people are dead because of this liberal judge. He should be in jail himself. Are you actually defending him?
