Updat­ed news, Fed­er­al judge John M Roll was shot and killed, it is a ter­ri­ble thing to begin the day to lat­er not be able to fin­ish it, our thoughts and prayers go out to the fam­i­lies of those that lost loved ones, spec­u­la­tion at to a polit­i­cal motive is pre­ma­ture and has no place yet many peo­ple online includ­ing the Huff Puff and I will blow you web­site.

Roll became the Deputy Coun­ty Attor­ney for Pima Coun­ty deal­ing with crim­i­nal cas­es until 1980. In 1980, Roll joined the US Attor­ney’s Office as an Assis­tant US Attor­ney for the Dis­trict of Ari­zona until 1987. While with the US Attor­ney’s Office, Roll led the orga­nized drug crimes task force, spe­cial­iz­ing in large drug cas­es.

If as report­ed by var­i­ous news agen­cies, a fine man has been killed, it might well be linked with bor­der activ­i­ty in the com­ing days, sad­ly this could have been pre­vent­ed, had suf­fi­cient secu­ri­ty detail been made avail­able.

This did not have to hap­pen, while you can­not stop every attempt every time, you can have enough secu­ri­ty to stop most of them and in this case alleged­ly there was not enough staff on site to stop the attempt.

It is a sad day when we have such vio­lence in our bor­der regions, and that is the end result here.

This took place in a bor­der region, it is pos­si­ble that the tar­get was not Gab­by as her friends call her but actu­al­ly the judge.

Judge Roll in 2009, faced death threats after pre­sid­ing over a $32 mil­lion civ­il-rights law­suit. The law­suit was filed by ille­gal immi­grants against an Ari­zona ranch­er. After Judge Roll ruled the case would be cer­ti­fied, threats came from talk-radio shows which fueled con­tro­ver­sy and spurred audi­ences into mak­ing threats against the judge.

It is begin­ning to look as if this was a sit­u­a­tion that was not prop­er­ly han­dled and could have been pre­vent­ed, still the immi­gra­tion issue is cen­ter stage and many peo­ple in Ari­zona feel as if they are not being rep­re­sent­ed in the very state in which they live.

It is a sad thing when Wash­ing­ton files law­suits chal­leng­ing a states right to secure its bor­ders.
