I just read that they have arrested the guy that attacked Bobby while he was putting gas in his vehicle.

RIP Bobby, prayers go out to his family and friends.

UPDATE11:05 AM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... a SWAT team executed a search warrant at an Anaheim-area apartment Friday -- two days after East was stabbed -- where officers were informed Millsap may be holed up. During the raid, an officer-involved shooting occurred ... we're told Millsap was shot and killed on the scene as the police were trying to arrest him. The Orange County DA is investigating the shooting.

That's part of the reason that I moved out of California a couple months ago, they let criminals out early to roam the streets and do very little to help people who have serious mental issues who also roam the streets.
They come up and ask you for money and if you say no then they want to fight with you.

The police dog was injured by a gun shot during the raid. The injury was not life threatening.

Some of the comments are a reflection of what ails our culture. Fire from the hip without complete info, use of heresay, and hyperbolic words.

Glad we won’t be paying for this POS room and board for the rest of his life. Nice job law enforcement for the quick attempted apprehension and glad they are all ok. Condolences to the family.

"Bobby East" was trending on Twitter last night; definitely not something I expected to see. Sadly, this seems to have become a political wedge on that platform.

Yeah, well there's a reason why I've held my tongue as I've been blasted for my comments. Lets just say the person you guys remember isnt the same one who passed away this week. There for the grace of god go I.
