After Serving Two Tours in Iraq, Ex Marine is Killed in Own Home by SWAT Team

Jose Guerena survived two combat tours of Iraq, only to become a casualty of the Regime’s longest war — the one waged against its domestic subjects in the name of drug prohibition. The former Marine was slaughtered by a SWAT team during a May 5 assault on his home in Arizona.

Guerena’s wife, Vanessa, heard a noise outside the couple’s home near Tucson at about 9 a.m. Jose, who had just gone to bed after pulling a 12-hour shift at the Asarco Mine, suspected — correctly, as it turned out — that his family was threatened by an armed criminal gang. Grabbing his AR-15, Guerena instructed his wife and four-year-old son to hide in the closet while he confronted the intruders. According to Mrs. Guerena, the stormtroopers from the Pima County Regional SWAT team never identified themselves as police; they simply stormed into the home and started shooting.

“I saw this guy pointing me at the window, Vanessa recalled in a television interview. “So, I got scared. And, I got like, ‘Please don’t shoot, I have a baby.’ I put my baby [down]. [And I] put bag in window. And, I yell ‘Jose! Jose! Wake up!’”

“A deputy’s bullet struck the side of the doorway, causing chips of wood to fall on his shield,” recounts the Arizona Daily Star, paraphrasing an account provided by Pima County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) functionary Michael O’Connor. “That prompted some members of the team to think the deputy had been shot.” Guerna never fired a shot; the marauders who invaded his home fired no fewer than seventy-one. As is standard procedure in such events, the invaders claimed that Guerna had fired on the officers, as he had every moral and legal right to.

Neither Jose nor his wife had a criminal history of any kind. The attack on their home was described as a narcotics enforcement operation, but there are no reports that narcotics were found at the residence – - even though the invaders reportedly “seized” (that is, stole) something that belonged to the victim.

“Tucson is notorious for home invasions and we didn’t want it to look like that,” insisted PCSO spokesman O’Connor, exhibiting the dull-witted refusal to acknowledge the obvious that typifies tax-feeders of his station. He also maintained that the death squad “went lights and sirens and we absolutely did not do a `no-knock’ warrant,” a claim refuted by the only surviving witness, Vanessa Guerena. Such details are morally inconsequential, since there was no reason — apart from the institutional vanity of the PCSO and the indecent eagerness of the armored adolescents who compose its SWAT team — to conduct a paramilitary raid to serve a routine search warrant.

“I never imagined I would lose him like that, he was badly injured but I never thought he could be killed by police after he served his country,” lamented the wife of the murdered ex-Marine, who died on his feet, a rifle in his hand, and his face to an unexpected enemy. The grim but unavoidable truth is this: We shouldn’t be at all surprised that a Regime capable of sending Americans abroad to terrorize Iraqis in their homes would employ the same state terrorism against Americans here at home.

Another Death From the Failed Drug war!

[Lowsix Profile]

This thread is such bullshit, he was not killed for drugs that were not present.
Your title is misleading and inflammatory and incorrect.

He was killed for Pointing an assault rifle upon entry...
AFTER refusing to answer the door
after a Light and SIREN Approach
and extremely CLEAR KNOCK AND ANNOUNCE,


Even if the swat team were mistaken in either the house or claims to Gurena's activities..or their claim that he fired first (apparently a deputy bullet hit the door frame causing team to assume he fired), the facts remain, and can be seen....and are verified..

He refused the KNOCK AND ANNOUNCE
after a very loud SIREN APPROACH,
and RAISED AN ASSAULT RIFLE.

Fucking Period.

That's why he died. He caused his own death.

Do you think 71 shots was enough? I think they should have shot a few more rounds myself...
can never be too sure. All citizens deserve that consideration.

Im glad you agree since so few people do apparently, that if you hear sirens approaching your house (to clearly announce that they are Law Enforcement), and then they knock LOUDLY announcing SHERRIFS OFFICE - SEARCH WARRANT (as they are supposed to do), and THEN you STILL point an assault rifle at them,..

You get what you deserve.

period.

I'll drive to your house, turn on a siren for a few seconds, shout I'm the police and then I'll break down your door. All in less than 20 seconds. I hope you're not in the process of taking a nap, a dump, listening to your stereo, shouting at your wife or whatever you might be doing in your own home, you better be aware and well awake because that's all you got: 20 bleeping seconds. What a generous country.

And btw, he didn't deserve to die. I'm sorry but that comment is just sick, for fuck's sake.

Well, i tell ya what..

If I hear sirens, and a Knock shouting they have a warrant...

I may be on the shitter, i might be shouting at my wife...
But even if only have twenty seconds,
(enough time to grab his rifle and tell his wife to get in the closet)
i sure as shit wouldnt use it to take up an offensive position be kneeling in the hallway
with an Ar15 aimed at Law Enforcement Officers when they breach..

That is for damn fucking sure.

If you dont get the stupidity in that action alone..
Your defense of that action is sickening.

You are an idiot. And you're why cops hate civilians.

And before you come back with something equally or more retarded..
Please do recognize, it is NOT in dispute that he was kneeling
in the hall with a Loaded automatic assault rifle.

Fucking blows me away, id have to argue this point.
So fucking retarded its unspeakable..

[Perronick Profile]

So they do hate civilians. Nice. I hadn't notice untill you told me, but who could have guessed that, right?. Are you a cop btw? You sure talk like one.

[Lowsix Profile]

Are you a case study for a vaccine
that immunizes against common sense?

It's clear you have none, so it was successful.

[Perronick Profile]

The "common sense" of those cops? You don't need a vaccine for that, you need a lobotomy. Thanks but no thanks.
