Former Power Ranger’s Actor Skylar Deleon Sentenced to Death in Yacht Murder of Tom and Jackie Hawks

From Power Rangers to Death Penalty …

29 year old former Power Ranger’s child actor Skylar Deleon was sentenced to death for the 2004 yacht murders of Tom and Jackie Hawks. Deleon was not one of the Power Rangers, but appeared on the show. Orange County Superior Court Judge Frank F. Fasel handed down the death sentence.  The Arizona couple, Tom and Jackie Hawks, were murdered by Skylar Deleon as he tied them to the anchor of their yacht and threw them overboard. The Hawks’ bodies were never found.

Prosecutors say the Long Beach man and a teen actor in a “Power Rangers” TV series feigned interest in buying the couple’s yacht and killed them during a test cruise in 2004.

Deleon overpowered them on a test cruise, tied them to an anchor and tossed them into the Pacific Ocean as they begged for their lives, according to the prosecution.

After the yacht killings, the prosecution said, Deleon and his then-wife Jennifer Henderson scrubbed the boat clean with bleach wipes in Newport Harbor.

Details of the horrific accounts can be read here in A “Well Deserved” Guilty Verdict” by crime reporter Tina Dirmann.

I remember, when doing press for the book, I often told interviewers that in all my 15 years as a crime reporter, I’d never covered anyone so bereft of humanity as 27-year-old Skylar Deleon. This is a man who, minutes after slitting the throat of one victim, boasted to a relative, “You’re dealing with the devil now.”

The Obama Bow that The White House Just Wants to Go Away … Gibbs Blows off Media with Sarcastic Response

An American President represents all of America and should never bow down to anyone. Suddenly the Obama Admin is dissing the media …

Every since Barack Obama bowed to Saudi King Abdullah the question has been, did he or didn’t he? Make no mistake about it … Obama bowed. Yes, he shook his hand and he bowed as well. It’s kind of hard to miss it as it has been captured for all to see.

As stated at Power Line, the Obama bow is important as it was not just a breach of protocol, but because it showed a sign of weakness. The “Chosen One” had been doing nothing but apologizing for America’s actions on his first foreign policy tour and the ultimate symbol of bowing down to a Saudi king was a bit much to take. The fact that the Arab press took it as a bow is quite telling.

President Obama’s bow to King Abdullah was significant, not only because it was a naive breach of protocol, but because such signs of submission are taken seriously in the Arab world. (In fact, Obama’s bow received approving coverage in the Arab press.)

Why do we know that Barack Hussein Obama bowed? Because the Obama White House has out out more fabricated stories as to what the hell Obama was doing hoping that something would stick. First the White House said that Obama did not bow and now Press Secretary Gibbs is trying to blow off the entire incident and claim that it is not important. In a sarcastic tone Gibbs feels that he does not have to answer the MSM’s question by stating … “I can only imagine it is of great cause and concern for many people struggling with the economy.”

Interesting that the Obama Admin thinks that they can pick and choose what is and is not an important story. Obama hardly bends at the knee for the Queen of England, yet he nearly bends all the way over and grabs his ankles for a Saudi king. Let us just remind everyone it was a CNN reporter who asked the question.

QUESTION: And then one unrelated question. When the president met with King Abdullah, there was something that took place which I believe the White House explained as just the president being taller than the king. We took a look at the video, and it does appear that the president actually bowed to King Abdullah. Did he bow or didn’t he?

The Sad & Tragic Death of Angel’s Pitcher Nick Adenhart and Two Others … Killed by Hit & Run Drunk Driver

Another Drunk Driver Kills … This time the drunk driver had a suspended license due to what else, DRUNK DRIVING!!!

There is nothing worse than a life taken so young with so much promise and their entire life ahead of them. Actually, there is. When a life is taken by another in an irresponsible manner caused by drunk driving.

22 year old Los Angeles Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart and two others were killed by a suspected drunk driver Thursday. According to police, Nick Adenhart was a passenger in a silver Mitsubishi Eclipse that was broadsided in an intersection about 12:30 a.m. by a mini-van that apparently ran a red light. Also killed in the crash was a 20-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man were killed, while a forth victim remains in critical condition.

Authorities identified the female victim as Courtney Stewart, of Diamond Bar. Police said she was in the driver’s seat. The 25-year-old victim was identified as Henry Nigel Pearson, of Manhattan Beach.

Another passenger, 24-year-old Jon Wilhite of Manhattan Beach, was in critical condition at UC Irvine Medical Center, although he was expected to survive, a hospital spokesman said. Wilhite played baseball from 2004-08 at Cal State Fullerton.

The driver of the mini-van fled the scene; however, was captured a short time later. The driver of the van was identified as 22 year old Andrew Gallo of Riverside, CA who was be booked on suspicion of murder, DUI and hit-and-run. Gallo was driving with a suspended license at the time of the crash due to guess what? You guessed it, a suspended license due to a drunken driving conviction. How many times must a predator commit a crime before they are deemed a danger to society?

Our prayers go out to the friends and family of Nick Adenhart and the other victims of the senseless crime. God bless and rest in peace.

UPDATE I: Murder Charges Filed Against Motorist Andrew Thomas Gallo

According to reports, At the time of the crash, Mr. Gallo’s blood-alcohol content is estimated to be almost three times the legal limit. The three people who died never had a chance with a menace like this on the roads.

A 22-year-old man was charged with three murder counts and drunken driving Friday in the crash that killed Los Angeles Angels rookie pitcher Nick Adenhart and two others.

Andrew Thomas Gallo ran a red light in his minivan early Thursday and broadsided a car carrying Adenhart and three friends, police said.

Barack Obama & Democrats Push to Legalize Illegal Immigrants … Taking the Jobs Away from Americans that they Don’t Have

When is “illegal” not illegal? When it comes to immigrants who come to America illegally. High unemployment and maxed out social services be damned … it is all about a political strategy for Obama. Make those legal who would vote for you.

President Obama and the Democrats look to further push their socialist agenda to legalize millions of illegal immigrants. In a time where more and more Americans find themselves unemployed and a national unemployment number is near 10%, Obama looks to flood the market with more workers and individuals who will exacerbate the social services of the United States. Looks like amnesty, no “Shamnesty” is back on the table.

Obama has not taken care of the banking situation or the troubles with the US economy. Obama has not dealt with North Korea or Iran. All he has managed to do is apologize for America and not bother to explain the good that America does in the world. 

With everything that America faces, how does it make sense to deal with the illegal immigration issue now? Why does it appear that Obama is trying to ram every socialist, liberal agenda down America’s throat as fast as humanly possible? Is it because he fears that eventually Americans might wake up from watching reality TV and realize the “reality” of what Obama’s change was really all about.

As reported in the New York Times:

While acknowledging that the recession makes the political battle more difficult, President Obama plans to begin addressing the country’s immigration system this year, including looking for a path for illegal immigrants to become legal, a senior administration official said on Wednesday.

Now White House Says Obama did not Bow to Saudi … Good Grief! (The Obowa Incident)

When one lies about the obvious, imagine what one is truly capable of …

Watch the video for yourself and determine if the Obamamessiah bowed to Saudi King Abdullah. The White House is going to tell you that this wasn’t a bow. Of course it was a bow, but as The Gateway Pundit states because the Obama Administration is trying to spin their way out of the obvious, the MSM will now have to cover the story.

The White House is denying that the president bowed to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia at a G-20 meeting in London, a scene that drew criticism on the right and praise from some Arab outlets.

“It wasn’t a bow. He grasped his hand with two hands, and he’s taller than King Abdullah,” said an Obama aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The Washington Times called the alleged bow a “shocking display of fealty to a foreign potentate” and said it violated centuries of American tradition of not deferring to royalty. The Weekly Standard, meanwhile, noted that American protocol apparently rules out bowing, or at least it reportedly did on the occasion of a Clinton “near-bow” to the emperor of Japan.

Who are you going to believe, Barack Obama or your lying eyes? If this administration finds the “Bowing” incident hard to tell the truth on, we are in for an even longer 4 years than previous thought.

Yeah right Mr. President, you are now bowing. You are showing King Abdullah the proper tackling technique in the NFL. Did he drop a penny? Or did you think the king was going to knight you? Maybe our readers can explain what Obama was doing if he was not doing what he obviously was doing and that is bowing to a Saudi King.

Further examination of the bow at Atlas Shruggs.
