The Shooting of AJ Hanlon

There are a lot of people in Ireland today, and I would be one of them, very puzzled by the decision of a Grand Jury in a small Oregon town, that a police officer was legally justified to shoot and kill the Irish national, 20-year old artist Andrew James (AJ) Hanlon.

Bock covers today’s news that stunned then sickened me when I heard it earlier.

Bock has given exceptional coverage through all of this tragic story including testimonials.

And here’s today’s news as reported in The Oregonian

Not a word of this in the US national news. Nor on AOL, or any other online news service that I visit regularly. I’m a news junkie, and I would probably never have heard of this tragedy if I didn’t visit this site. What’s up with THAT?

What I do not get is the ‘mental’ bit. He was not under any doctor, so who defined him with that tag. And how the dickens did the police get to know, but then in a village of 5000 who the hell would not know a juicy titbit

Martha - I’m hoping it gets to national news coverage, so that so many unanswered questions can be answered.

VincentH - There’s quite a lot not to get about this story when you delve past the official report.

Sorry. Comments have been closed.
