Obviously, a white separatist
MSNBC edits the video of the black man with a gun at the Obama rally to hide that he’s black. Then yammers about white racists. Then, cue up the white guy.

Suspect police killer is former police officer, Army veteran
By JOSH POLTILOVE | The Tampa Tribune
Humberto Delgado, the man accused of killing a Tampa police officer Wednesday, is a former police officer from the Virgin Islands.
He served as an officer for the Virgin Islands Police Department from April 24, 1996, to October 23, 2000, when he resigned, police spokeswoman Melody Rames said.
Delgado also was a former private first class for the U.S. Army. He joined Aug. 3, 2004, and served until Dec. 29, 2005, according to Army spokesman Lt. Col. Richard McNorton. Delgado’s character of service was “honorable.”
“The reason he left, we can’t say because of privacy reasons,” McNorton said.
Delgado was a petroleum supply specialist, meaning he fueled vehicles or aircraft. He earned the National Defense Service Medal for honorably serving during a time of national emergency, McNorton said. He did not serve in Iraq or Afghanistan during his time of service.
He worked at Fort Lee in Virginia and had his last duty station with the 82nd Airborne at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, according to his separation records from the Army. He then was sent to Company C, Womack Army Medical Center at Fort Bragg, a base hospital. Separation papers don’t indicate whether he worked at the hospital or received treatment there.
Delgado said on his Facebook page that he is “Just here on Earth to survive in this world without loosing my identity.”
On Facebook, he wrote that his favorite quotation was “live today to make tomorrow better!”
Delgado, 34, who gave his address as 324 Country Club Drive in Oldsmar, was arrested and charged shortly before 5 a.m. with first-degree murder of a law enforcement officer, aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer and carrying a concealed firearm.
Police say he shot and killed Cpl. Mike Roberts, an 11-year veteran, on Nebraska Avenue. The shooting happened about 10 p.m., when Roberts responded to a report of a suspicious man – Delgado – pushing a shopping cart full of items near Nebraska Avenue and Arctic Street.
Delgado was led to a police cruiser from Tampa police headquarters this morning, his legs shackled and hands cuffed behind his back.
A reporter asked him, “Why did you shoot that officer today?” He did not answer or speak to the media and he kept his face away from cameras.
At a home police say Delgado stayed at, his family declined to comment this morning, instead getting in vehicles and driving away.
Delgado is confined in Orient Road Jail. He is being held in the highest security level, meaning any time he leaves his cell, he will be in handcuffs and box chains, Hillsborough County sheriff’s Col. Jim Previtera said. Delgado only will be allowed to leave the cell one hour a day, and during that time he can shower or walk around inside his jail pod.
All inmates in confinement receive psychiatric evaluations.
Delgado shot Roberts following a fight, police say. Roberts was wearing a protective vest, but the bullet went through an exposed area under his arm. Delgado ran back to the shopping cart and grabbed a canvas bag as another officer arrived. Delgado pulled an AR-15 assault rifle from the bag and aimed it at the second officer, police said. Delgado then fled while the officer stayed to assist Roberts, police said.
The guns had come from Fort Bragg, N.C., according to a receipt police found.
Delgado is scheduled to have an initial court appearance Friday before Hillsborough County Circuit Judge Walter Heinrich.
Bail is usually considered at such hearings, but Assistant State Attorney Pam Bondi said her office would oppose any bail for Delgado.
Prosecutors have 45 days from the time a suspect is arraigned to decide whether to seek the death penalty.
Legal experts said that decision is based on the nature of the crime and the personal and criminal history of the accused.
Asked today whether Delgado had served in the military, Tampa police Maj. George McNamara said, “There’s still a lot of information we’re trying to obtain as well as verify, and that’s very important to us.”
On Facebook, Delgado said he believes in a higher power. He said he loves his children, that his activities include dominoes, fishing and real estate.
On his MySpace profile, Delgado wrote: “Hi people of the world I am here just chilling in my own meditation. Enjoying life without any judgment because we all got the same blessings, we just have to wait patiently and we receive, One Love. In this world of transgression we go through our differences and disagreements a whole lot more than we really notice but that’s why we survive. We survive through realness.”
Delgado is a native of the U.S. Virgin Islands. He claimed to have attended St. Croix Central High School and Fayetteville (N.C.) Technical Community College, and he claimed he worked for the Department of Veterans Affairs. Those claims have not been confirmed by the Tribune.
In March 2007, while living in Fayetteville, Delgado had a son – Gadieloh Delgado. The child’s mother could not immediately be reached.
