A Candlelight Vigil is going to be held in honor of Jason E. “Hoss” Hallstrom, on Saturday, April 13, 2013 at the Target center on 17th and Grand Ave., in Santa Ana at 7 pm.

On March 15, Hallstrom and Travis Mock, 29, were being chased by SAPD SWAT officers on I-5 when they got off at Grand Avenue and headed north, Santa Ana authorities said.  The officers in question ended up shooting Hallstrom to death, and wounding Mock.

Hallstrom left behind a daughter, Raven Starr Shine, who just turned 15 on February 12th.  He had not seen her since she was two years old, and they finally met last year… after 14 years.

Hallstrom also fathered another little girl, Hallie, who is now ten years old.  And he helped to raise two stepdaughters for twelve years, with Hallie’s mom, Tiffany Nunley. Their importance to him was no different than if they were his biological children. They grieve his loss more than anyone since they are old enough to know the real facts. Hallstrom Nunley, were together for twelve years and on and off for the last four years. They were in the process of reunifying when this incident occurred.

In Nunley’s own words, “He was my life, my everything. There will never be anyone like him again. I will spend the rest of my life pursuing the truth and ensuring the persons responsible are held accountable by the justice system that they were sworn to uphold.”

  1. I’ll be there.
    I found that persons comments about the area being yellow taped off near the off ramp and Target store before the two suspects had even arrived at that point fascinating and it definitely has my curiosity going. Are the police Psychic? Not sure if there is any truth to it or not?
    In the protest community we call that “Kettling”
    It’s when the police direct the protesters or suspects in the desired direction for arrest.

  2. Kettling is often accompanied by Media Blackouts by corporate state-instructed media that are all too eager to acquiesce in favor of law and order status quo.
    Not trying to suggest that folks should conduct a riot here.
    No way.
    That would only help the Santa Anaheim PD apply and secure the UASI grants they seek.
    It’s sick but true.

  3. “Kettling is often accompanied by Media Blackouts by corporate state-instructed media that are all too eager to acquiesce in favor of law and order status quo”…….. Hmmmmmmm

    FYI Teo, the media are controlled 100% by the Left-Liberal-Progressive-Socialists like you, Vern Nelson and Esq. Diamond and Obama.

  4. Thanks Fiala. Back to work then, I am going to do the Hammer March just for you while you sit on your butt and speculate about the direction of investment today.
    Maybe you will show at this candle light vigil and put your anti-social instincts away for a day.

  5. “I am going to do the Hammer March just for you while you sit on your butt and speculate about the direction of investment today”………. Hmmmmm

    Caveat, do not get nailed…. Teo!

    Correct, I am going to observe how stupid moron mongoloids wasting their money with the Semitics on your favorite Wall St.

    FYI, I do not do candles since they are not a part of the 2nd amendment.

    Call me when you get from the tents with constitutionally protected arms.

    We the “OK” had meeting on Tuesday.
