Jamiel’s Lawsuit
By Walter Moore - May 12, 2009
Jamiel Shaw, II, was an outstanding high school athlete. Colleges were recruiting him for their football teams. His future was bright.
In March 2008, he was murdered just two doors down from his family’s home, early in the evening, by an illegal alien gang member who had been released from jail 24 hours earlier.
That gang member had no business being in our country. He was here illegally. The County should have handed him over to ICE when his jail sentence ended. Instead, the County put him back on the streets. Result: the Shaw family was shattered, for no legitimate reason.
The Shaw family has done everything imaginable to try to spare other families the same nightmare. They urged the Los Angeles City Council to pass Jamiel’s Law, which would have denied “sanctuary city” to documented gang members. The City Council ignored them.
Then they gathered tens of thousands of signatures to put Jamiel’s Law on the ballot, and turned them over to the City Clerk -- where most of the petitions mysteriously “vanished.”
The Shaws also campaigned for a Mayoral candidate -- yours truly -- who vowed to repeal Special Order 40 immediately if elected. Villaraigosa was reelected instead.
So now the Shaw family is taking the only course of action left to them: filing a lawsuit against the local government that released an illegal alien gang member onto our streets.
