No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Publicist's Murder Is A Mystery

http://www.kfiam640.com/cc-common/mainheadlines3.html?feed=153218&article=7851886

Quote
Detectives in Beverly Hills say the murder of a publicist is a 'wide-open' investigation.

A late-night shooting that left a prominent Beverly Hills publicist dead in her Mercedes on Sunset
My thoughts are it is someone she knew. It was cold that night, and her window was open, telling me she rolled down the window to talk to someone. ?

Ronni Chasen slaying: New details, still no motive in shooting of Hollywood publicist

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/11/ronni-chasen-slaying-new-details-still-no-motive-in-hollywood-publicists-attack.html

Quote
Detectives now believe Chasen was killed in a car-to-car shooting, with the assailant firing into the passenger-side window of her Mercedes coupe.  Beverly Hills Mayor Jimmy Delshad told The Times that detectives believe a vehicle taller than Chasen's car, perhaps a sport utility vehicle, was involved.

Slain Publicist Ronni Chasen Feared She Was Being Followed, report
 

Quote
BEVERLY HILLS (KTLA) -- Murdered Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen reportedly thought she was being followed months before her death and may have been the victim of a premeditated, professional hit.

Chasen suspected she was being followed by an unknown person back in March and told friends she was "scared," the New York Post is reporting.

The 64-year-old was gunned down Nov. 16 after leaving the after-party for the premier of the Cher and Christina Aguilera movie, "Burlesque." She was shot five times in the chest around 12:30 a.m. in the area of Sunset Boulevard and Whittier Drive.

Investigators are still looking for leads or motives in the killing...

Five times in the chest is more rage than an actual "hit". A hit man would use a .22 caliber, probably a revolver, with .22 caliber shorts in it. It would also be to the head. She pissed somebody off and real well, too.

That's traditional Chicago/NYC Mafia style, and always too close to miss i.e. one person at least is on foot and if a car is involved it isn't moving.  California hits are a whole 'nother style.

A man believed to be connected to the slaying of veteran Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen fatally shot himself at a Hollywood hotel Wednesday evening as Beverly Hills police were serving a search warrant there, sources told The Times.

The name of the man was not released, and his exact connection to the Chasen murder case was not immediately known. The shooting occurred after 6 p.m., according to two law enforcement sources who spoke on the condition that they not be named. The two sources said police believe he was involved in Chasen's death.

The whole statement by the cops about this being a professional hit pisses me off.done to hide whoever did it unA true pro wouldn't waste more then two or three rounds to off someone. This was a drive by style execution till the cops did finally find one of the killers and he takes the secrets to the grave with him.

Neighbors of 'Suspect' in L.A. Publicist Murder Doubt He Shot Her; Man Is ID'd in Report

Quote
Neighbor Robin Lyle told FoxNews.com on Thursday that he knew the suspect for roughly four months, and he never left the apartment building without wearing gray gardening gloves.

"He said it was for his protection," Lyle said. "I never knew what that was all about."
I have thought this has been a hit all along.

http://www.kfiam640.com/cc-common/mainheadlines3.html?feed=153218&article=7899534


Cavegal, An interview by Fox of a retired high muck muck  in the police or FBI or something brought out an interesting fact.       

The shooter had to have been exceptional to place 5 rounds in a very tight area to a moving target, at night.

New information on the weapon the suicide dude used on himself showed it to have no match to the weapon that killed this woman.   Makes me think the weapon was a hand gun.

It was also noted that the man in question was never seen without wearing gardening gloves. Was he covering some kind of Tattoos, or perhaps a missing finger or deformity of some kind.??  He said he wore them for protection, could be some kind of skin disease.?

Yes the 5 round tight pattern has been a sort of issue. This guy was a kook. John and Ken interviewed some of the neighbors in that complex, it is a place that has high drug use mucho crime.  The FBI said the gun was no match on Friday thru the John and Ken show I just could not find a link to that. They are on at 2pm Los Angeles time, I listen to the replay the next day, if I find more info I am surely going to post. Thank you Vesta!

This case gets more bizarre. As for serial killing, anything is possible. I heard that this could be road rage.

Ronni Chasen slaying: Gun recovered from man who committed suicide appears to match one that killed publicist

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/12/ronni-chasen-slaying-gun-found-at-hollywood-hotel-appears-to-match-one-that-killed-publicist.html

Quote
The gun recovered from a man who commited suicide at a Hollywood apartment appears to be the same one that killed veteran Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen, according to a law enforcement source.

The Beverly Hills Police Department has called 3 p.m. news conference to discuss the case, though no details were provided.
So now they say it is the same gun.

Chasen Murder -- 'Robbery Gone Bad'

http://www.tmz.com/2010/12/08/ronni-chasen-murder-harold-smith-robbery-gone-bad-beverly-hills-police-news-conference/

Quote
The Beverly Hills PD now says it believes Ronni Chasen's murder was a random act of violence -- a robbery gone bad -- committed by a man on a bicycle.  According to the police the gun that Harold Smith used to kill himself last week was the very same gun used to murder Chasen.

Police say they believe Smith acted alone and it was in no way connected with road rage -- an operating theory last week.
