CA IS FIRMLY UNDER LA RAZA CONTROL AND HAS THE STAGGERING CORRUPTION, AND MEX SUPREMACY TO PROVE IT!
HERE’S ONLY ONE EXAMPLE!
“…We’re here today to show L.A., show the minority people here, the Anglo-Saxons, that we are here, the majority, we’re here to stay. We do the work in this city, we take care of the spoiled brat children… We’re here in Westwood… to show white Anglo-Saxon Protestant L.A., the few of you who remain, that we are the majority, and we claim this land as ours, it’s always been ours, and we’re still here, and none of the talk about deporting.”

La Raza Politician’s Son Charged In Gang Murder
Last Updated: Thu, 12/04/2008 - 1:30pm
The son of a renowned Chicano rights politician who chaired Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and authored legislation to reduce gang violence has been charged in a gang-related murder.
A felony complaint says that California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez’s teenage son and three fellow gang bangers beat and fatally stabbed a college student in San Diego for no particular reason. They also beat and stabbed at least two other young men who survived.
Esteban Nunez and his posse identified themselves as members of a well-known gang (The Hazard Crew) during an evening of drinking and brutally beat the 22-year-old college student before finishing him off with knives. The gang bangers have been charged with murder, three counts of assault with a deadly weapon and vandalism.
The younger and rather confident Nunez, who proudly sports a tattoo of his gang’s logo, assured his violent buddies that if they were criminally charged his powerful and well-connected politician father could get them off on a self-defense argument.
Indeed Fabian’s dad is well connected and quite popopular in the Golden State. The Democrat lawmaker served three terms in the Assembly, where he authored legislation to reduce gang violence in Los Angeles, and four years as speaker.
In 2007 Hillary Clinton named Nunez, a well-known illegal immigrant advocate, national co chair of her presidential campaign. A popular figure in the La Raza movement, Nunez helped organize huge marches protesting legislation viewed as discriminatory against illegal aliens and he declared war on California’s governor because the governor supports securing the southern border as well as measures to curb the state’s illegal immigration crisis.
Earlier this year Nunez was the target of a state ethics commission investigation into the use of political contributions for personal use. The commission banned the practice after newspaper reports that Nunez and a few other legislators had used hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign cash to travel through Europe and stay at upscale resorts.
* Schwarzenegger was inconsistent on clemency
The former governor reduced the prison sentence of a political ally's son but reversed the parole board's decision to free dozens of inmates involved in similar crimes.

The reduced prison sentence that Arnold Schwarzenegger recently extended to a political ally's son stands in stark contrast to the former governor's denial of clemency for dozens of inmates involved in similar crimes.
In one year alone, Schwarzenegger cast aside decisions by the state's parole board to free 29 such inmates who had served long prison sentences. They, like former state Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez's son Esteban, participated in crimes that left a victim dead but did not deliver the fatal blows.
And like the younger Nuñez, 11 of those inmates had no previous criminal record, according to orders from the governor's office in 2009, the most recent year for which records are publicly available.
Read the document: Executive report on parole review decisions
Among the reasons Schwarzenegger frequently gave for reversing the parole board — a panel appointed by his office and dominated by former police and corrections officers — was that the victim had been killed over something "trivial."
In addition, the offender had demonstrated "callous disregard for human suffering," often by fleeing the scene and leaving the victim to die, as Nuñez did after he and his friends drunkenly attacked a group of strangers on a San Diego street in 2008 after being denied entrance to a fraternity party.
Schwarzenegger laid out circumstances strikingly similar to those of the Nuñez case in a June 2009 order overturning the parole board's decision to free Sieu Ngo, who had served 16 years for his role in a gang assault at Fullerton High School.
Like Nuñez , Ngo was 19 at the time of his crime. It was September 1992 when he and four friends chased and beat a rival gang member, Angel Gonzalez. During the attack, one of Ngo's accomplices pulled a gun and shot Gonzalez once in the back, killing him. And like Nuñez, Ngo then hopped in a car with the others and hit the road.
In the Nuñez case, the politician's son had stabbed one victim in the stomach while a friend fatally stabbed another in the heart. Then they drove to Sacramento and threw their knives in a river. Ngo's group drove to Washington state, where they were arrested a month and a half later, according to Schwarzenegger's order.
Schwarzenegger acknowledged that Ngo, who is serving 16 years to life, had maintained "supportive relationships with family and friends" during his time in prison and had a job offer waiting for him if he got out. But the former governor argued that Ngo still failed to take full responsibility for his actions, a trait he had demonstrated after the attack by fleeing to another state, Schwarzenegger wrote.
Eighteen months after ordering Ngo to stay in prison, Schwarzenegger cut Nuñez's sentence by more than half, from 16 years to seven. Nuñez had served six months at the time and would not have been eligible for parole until roughly 2023.
"I'd love to ask the [former] governor what distinguishes one case from the other," said Keith Wattley, an attorney who represents inmates seeking parole. The Ngo case, he said, "exemplifies the arbitrary nature of this."
An e-mail to The Times from Daniel Ketchell, Schwarzenegger's personal aide, said the former governor would not elaborate beyond his written orders.
Charles Sevilla, a San Diego attorney for Nuñez, said Schwarzenegger's reasons for reducing the sentence — Nuñez wasn't the killer and had no prior record — would not have attracted attention without the famous name.
"Take the politics out, and people would say it's not an irrational act by the governor. But when you add in the fact that it's Fabian Nuñez's son, that perspective goes out the window."
Asked why he thought other inmates didn't get the same treatment, Sevilla said, "It's difficult to make comparisons between cases" like that of Ngo, who was convicted of second-degree murder, and Nuñez, who was charged with murder but pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter.
Schwarzenegger also denied clemency for Linnea Adams, who was 17 in 1997 when she slid behind the steering wheel and drove some friends to Half Moon Bay, where they robbed another teenager. One of her friends shot and killed the victim in the back seat of the car, then pushed him out. Adams stepped on the gas and sped away.
She had no prior criminal record and had not been disciplined for any rule violations during more than 12 years in prison at the time of her parole hearing, Schwarzenegger's order said.
But the former governor rejected the board's decision to free her because she had admitted to being on methamphetamine at the time of the crime, and she had participated in drug and alcohol treatment programs for only three years.
Schwarzenegger also said Adams, who according to the order is serving 15 years to life, had demonstrated "exceptionally callous disregard for human suffering" by leaving the victim to die.
Then there's Willy Coria, who as a 16-year-old in 1993 sat in the back seat while older friends carried out a drive-by shooting on a crowd outside a Los Angeles liquor store, killing one woman. Prosecutors said the attack was Coria's idea; he claimed he didn't know there was a gun in the car.
His sentence was 16 years to life, and he had been in prison for 15 years when the former governor denied him parole.
Schwarzenegger acknowledged that Coria hadn't pulled the trigger but explained, "The crime partners fired into a crowd of people, placing multiple victims at risk of death or serious injury."
Attorneys who fight to get inmates out of prison are not surprised by Schwarzenegger's frequent decisions to keep people in. The former governor used that power to burnish a reputation as a hard-nosed law-and-order governor, they said.
Others worry that the appearance of favoritism in the Nuñez case will deepen cynicism about the criminal justice system.
"My first thought is that reducing Mr. Nuñez's sentence might have actually been the right thing to do, even if the governor did it for the wrong reasons," Wattley said. "My problem with it is that it makes even clearer to anyone still having doubts that politics dictates prison terms, not fairness or justice."

TWO LA RAZA CORRUPT POLITICIANS FLIPPING OFF AMERICA!

Villaraigosa won't say if he agrees with clemency for Fabian Nuñez's son
The mayor calls the case a 'tragedy all the way around' but doesn't say whether Schwarzenegger did the right thing in cutting the sentence for his ally's son from 16 years to seven years.

January 7, 2011
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa sidestepped questions Wednesday from reporters who asked if he agreed with former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's recent decision to reduce the prison sentence of 21-year-old Esteban Nuñez, the son of former state Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez.
Villaraigosa called the case, in which Esteban Nuñez pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the 2008 stabbing death of a San Diego man, a "tragedy all the way around." The mayor, who has been a close ally of Schwarzenegger and Fabian Nuñez, also said that "everybody recognizes that when you lose a son, that's a horrible thing."
He would not say, however, whether Schwarzenegger did the right thing in cutting the sentence from 16 years to seven years.
"What I've said very clearly is that it's a tragic situation, and that's all I have to say about it," he told a roomful of reporters gathered to hear him celebrate a 7% citywide drop in major crimes last year.
Villaraigosa was one of several high-level officials, along with Los Angeles labor leader Maria Elena Durazo and state Sen. Kevin De Leon (D-Los Angeles), to write letters on behalf of Esteban Nuñez before a bail reduction hearing two years ago. In his letter, Villaraigosa described Esteban Nuñez as a "decent and responsible young man."
Schwarzenegger's decision has drawn protests from some in law enforcement, including San Diego County Dist. Atty. Bonnie Dumanis, who said the decision "greatly diminishes justice."
In his commutation order, Schwarzenegger noted that it was Ryan Jett, Esteban Nuñez's friend, who stabbed 22-year-old Luis Santos, severing his heart.
The governor also noted that after the stabbing, the group drove north to the Sacramento River, burned their clothes and threw their knives in the river.
Standing next to Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck, Villaraigosa also told reporters that he had not personally spoken with Schwarzenegger about the commutation.

Cutting of Nuñez's sentence sparks anger
Outraged officials denounce the last-day prison deal made by Schwarzenegger.
By Jack Dolan and Tony Perry
January 4, 2011
Reporting from Sacramento and San Diego
Outgoing Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's decision to cut the prison sentence that the son of former Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez received for his role in the death of a San Diego man outraged officials in that city, who said Monday they had been blindsided.
The decision "greatly diminishes justice," San Diego County Dist. Atty. Bonnie Dumanis said Monday. "The district attorney's office was not consulted and the decision comes as the appeals process was continuing."
San Diego City Atty. Jan Goldsmith accused Schwarzenegger of reducing the sentence to "help his political crony's son."
"In doing so," said Goldsmith, "he undermined the judicial system and has jeopardized public safety.... I speak for the overwhelming majority of San Diegans in stating that we are appalled and angry." Dumanis and Goldsmith are former Superior Court judges.
The allegation that Esteban Nuñez received special treatment at least partly echoed something that the 19-year-old had said after the drunken brawl that led to the death of Luis Santos, according to court records.
After Nuñez and his friends attacked a group of men in October 2008, leaving one dead, they hopped in a car and drove 500 miles north to Sacramento to burn their clothes and throw their knives in a river. Then, court records show, Nuñez told his friends not to worry, his politically connected father, would get them off the hook.
On Sunday, as one of his last official acts as governor, Schwarzenegger reduced Nuñez's sentence by more than half, from 16 to seven years.
That drew criticism from the victims' relatives, prison rights experts and prosecutors who said that the younger Nuñez benefited from his family name throughout the process and that they wondered why thousands of other prisoners incarcerated on similar charges did not get the same break.
Schwarzenegger "has been denying parole to prisoners who have killed somebody and have been model prisoners for years and years, and he hasn't let them go," said Don Specter of the Prison Law Office in Berkeley, a prisoner's rights advocate.
At the end of November, there were 3,381 people in California's prisons for voluntary manslaughter, to which Nuñez had pleaded guilty. He also pleaded guilty to two counts of assault with a deadly weapon. There were 7,589 people in prison for conviction under the same statute, according to Terry Thornton, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
But Schwarzenegger did not intervene on anyone else's behalf.
The well-connected have been weighing in on the younger Nuñez's behalf from early in the case. Before a bail hearing in December 2008, some 70 individuals from government, politics and labor relations sent letters attesting to good character of the Nuñez family and Esteban. Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, in his letter, called young Nuñez "a decent and responsible young man."
Judge David Szumowski cut the bail from $2 million to $1 million and Nuñez was allowed to remain free until the trial. During that time, he attended the state Democratic Party's May 2009 golf tournament, spa day and fundraiser at Pebble Beach, hosted by former Assembly Speaker Karen Bass.
Nuñez entered prison on June 30, 2010, and is housed in a "special needs yard" at the Mule Creek state prison, Thornton said. Also housed there are Joseph Lyle Menendez, one of two brothers who became notorious for the murders of their parents in Beverly Hills, and Andrew Luster, the wealthy great-grandson of cosmetics magnate Max Factor. Luster was convicted of serial rape in 2003.
Former Schwarzenegger appointee Roberto Vellanoweth, who killed four people in a 2007 drunk driving accident, is also in the special needs yard at Mule Creek. He wrote to the governor asking for a sentence reduction, which was not granted.
"People think [Nuñez] benefitted from his father's status," said Charles Sevilla, the San Diego attorney who petitioned the governor for the sentence reduction. Instead, Sevilla argues, Nuñez's father's fame worked against him. "I think the system became zealous in its effort not to show favoritism."
Schwarzenegger and Fabian Nuñez worked closely in passing California's landmark environmental regulations, known as AB 32.
In his written commutation order on Nuñez, Schwarzenegger noted that his former political ally's son and his friends had been drinking and were angry about being denied entry to a fraternity party when they launched a premeditated attack on a group of young men near San Diego State University on Oct. 4, 2008. After driving back to Sacramento, the group "went to the Sacramento River, burned their clothes, and threw their knives in the river," the order says.
Nuñez had bragged to his friends that even if they were charged, his father could get them off with a self-defense plea, according to documents filed by prosecutors.
In his Sunday order, Schwarzenegger acknowledged that Esteban Nuñez stabbed one young man in the stomach and "inflicted great bodily harm" on another. But Schwarzenegger argued that Nuñez did not stab the victim who died, Luis Dos Santos, and shouldn't have been given the same sentence as the killer, Ryan Jett.
Schwarzenegger also noted that Nuñez had no prior criminal record, whereas Jett was on probation at the time of the attack.
A spokeswoman for Mercury Public Affairs, the political consulting firm where Fabian Nuñez works, said Nuñez would not comment for this article.
Schwarzenegger spokesman Aaron McLear referred questions about how many requests for commutation the governor received this year to the office of Gov. Jerry Brown, who took the oath of office Monday morning.
Brown spokesman Evan Westrup did not respond to a request for the information.
