Looks like John was hit, went down, and then returned fire striking the subject several times, possibly did kill him. Don't know for sure. He didn't fucking give up. Godspeed Brother. He did!  |

It's amazing how many people came by in just the few minutes I was there. I made sure to thank the 2 Officers that were standing watch for what they and all LEO do. |

This was a nice table set for Detective John Hobbs. The letter reads: "Table set for one symbolizes the absence of our beloved officer. White tableware is symbolic of the purity of his intentions to respond to the need in his community. Single red rose signifies the blood that was shed in sacrifice for our safety and freedom. Yellow ribbon represents the ribbons worn on the labels of those who demand rememberance of their loved one. Slice of lemon represents the bitter fate of his loss. Salt sprinkled on the plate is symbolic of the countless fallen tears of family and friends. Inverted glass is to represent the fact that the fallen cannot partake. Empty chair symbolizes the fallen that is not present. Candle is reminiscent of the light of hope which lives in our hearts to illuminate his way home." |
