Rasheed Scrugs: Murderous Savage

Rasheed Scrugs: Filthy Animal
This pillar of the community is Rasheed Scrugs. He is the filthy savage scumbag who murdered Philadelphia Police Officer John Pawlowski last night. It is my sincere wish that he dies an agonizing death and spends an eternity in Hell.
Officer John Pawlowski never had chance last night when he approached the man authorities say had a “death wish” and fired .357 Magnum at the policeman.
The suspect, identified by police as Rasheed Scrugs, 33, of West Philadelphia, started firing through his coat, striking the five-year veteran at least twice in the chest as he fell to the ground on Broad Street, near Olney Avenue, police said.
Scrugs was charged with Officer Pawlowski’s murder this afternoon.
Police sources have said the gunman was “crazy” and appeared to have a “death wish” as he tried to shoot his way through police.
Pawlowski, police said, had been protected by a bullet-proof vest, which stopped at least one bullet. A second slug struck him just above the vest in an unprotected V-shaped area at the top of the chest, authorities said.
And, of course, Scrugs is a model citizen:
In the mid-1990s, records show, the he was also arrested on theft and robbery charges and for illegally carrying a gun. He was given a 5- to 10-year sentence in 1997. (H/T – Philly.com)
Frakkin’ animal deserves to die.
UPDATE: Scrugs pleaded guilty to first-degree murder of Officer Pawlowski, stating, “I’m guilty of first-degree murder, and I’m sorry.”

Frakkin’ animal deserves to die.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. If only Pennsylvania had the electric chair.

I really hope this sack of excrement gets his.
Pennsylvania does not conduct very many executions. I will probably be dead or more senile (I am senile now) before he gets his.

I am a Philadelphia Police Officer who worked with John for several years. He was an awesome cop and a great friend. He will be missed by all. I say turn the motha f**ker over to us and justice will be done.
February 14th, 2009 at 6:56 pm
Perfect candidate for an execution.
February 14th, 2009 at 7:11 pm
Agreed! That assumes he survives the next traffic stop, then he’ll languish on death row for the next 40 years…
February 14th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
I hope he is in unspeakable pain and then he dies and goes straight to hell.

I liked a fellow poster’s suggestion of throwing him under a Septa Bus, or even a garbage truck. Taking out the trash.
February 14th, 2009 at 9:22 pm
Sneak him out the back door. I have a short rope, and I’m sure I can find a tall tree.

If anyone deserves the death penalty, it’s this piece of shit!

Morgan – We have lethal injection, but our illustrious governor (Fat Eddie Rendell) never signs death warrants.
Admiral – Maybe he’ll get an infection while in the hospital and die that way.
FMFD – Nothing would make me happier.
Jimmy – No argument here. This “man” has breathed our air long enough.
Old NFO – Yeah, and he’ll be living large on the taxpayer’s dime.
Street Fighter – Agreed. Lots of pain for lots of years.
Mrs. Crankipants – Better yet – throw him in the garbage truck and crush him to death.
E.L. – Too quick. I would rather see this piece of garbage suffer a while . . . like weeks.
Leoni2 – He is the poster boy for lethal injection.
USMC8511 – I wish.

I believe it should be an automatic death sentence on conviction for murder of a cop, a prison warder or emergency worker in the course of their duty.
A proper trial but then no further mucking about. The law of the Old Testament required that sentence be carried out the same day for any crime except murder. For murder, one day was allowed for any further witnesses to come forward or for witnesses to reconsider (a false witness suffered the same sentence as the criminal). Not weeks, months, decades of delay.
There really is a case for hear and fear. In the UK when we had the death penalty for the muder of a policeman gangs would frisk each other before a crime to make sure they had no weapons. One policeman killed risked the death sentence for all involved.
If the Governer does not choose to uphold the law remove him from office – he has disqualified himself.

Should your force be considering something like this:

We have all said it many times, go safe Marshall.

Does any Philadelphia newspaper or TV station care to interview the Imam of this punk’s mosque and ask what he thinks of this? Did he see anything in his personality that would lead him to believe this demon was capable of this and whether he supports this member’s actions?
Dude’s heart stopped twice and was revived both times. Now that’s a medical staff committed to their profession.

That SOB should rot in hell. The police force should bring back the Frank Rizzo school of police. Obama can release 7 or 800 billion for the economy, and look what the Judges are doing for the police!!!! Our priorities are all screwed up.
February 15th, 2009 at 7:45 pm
In response to frymumiafordanny we couldn’t agree more. The Philly Police force is an awesome group of men

He faces murder, attempted-murder and narcotics charges among a long list of offenses.
Surprise surprise. Narcotics involvement. Whatever happened to the notion that those trading narcotics engage in victimless crimes?
Also, the death penalty should be automatic for the conviction of murder period. Whether it be by gun, bat, knife, brick, or shoving someone in front of a bus.
Prison camps and mandatory death penalty. This will be my platform if I ever seek higher office.
And all self-defense purchases (training, firearms, ammo) will be 100% tax deductible on a state and federal level.
I will never see office.

Our hearts go out to this officer and his family, in response to other posts – ANYONE who murders should automatically get the death penalty. ANYONE who murders a public servant should be tortured first.
SEMPER FIDELIS

Death is too good and easy for him. Lock him up for life and let the officers friends and family have a crack at him every week for the rest of his life.
February 17th, 2009 at 8:33 pm
you know sad but true he will be on death row like mumea for years to come and along the way some other liberal sob will set him free…cops should be saying no justice no peace but they don’t the just keep on serving a city falling apart….
February 18th, 2009 at 8:58 pm
I feel sorry for his family and his new born. Who would be there for them? That bum needs to be erased, Philadelphia is the land of kill. They will let a person with some weed sit in jail longer then a thug who got lock up for a gun. It’s crazy – the city about money not about justice.
(God Bless John Pawlowski!!)

Its a shame. I agree with Brian. Death is too easy. This guy is a pos.
It seems that when these guys get let out of prison they get their seal of approval or badge of honor when their goal is to get out of prison and kill a copy.
I’ve lived in this city my entire life and can’t remember another time when this city was THIS violent! Its a shame its going to hell.
Another twist is to see , not just how police,but people are shot and murdered every day in this general area. The crime is just ridiculous and may only get worse with this horrendus economic situation.
More power to the police for what they do.
February 21st, 2009 at 8:31 am
I am liberal in my thinking, but I agree, this guy MUST be executed. I only hope that the extreme liberals don’t rush to this scum bags aid and start some f*cked up movement to save him from “persecution.”

I agree…Our hearts go out to this officer and his family, in response to other posts – ANYONE who murders should automatically get the death penalty. ANYONE who murders a public servant should be tortured first.

This is how the animals respond:
http://en.wordpress.com/tag/rasheed-scrugs/
cut, paste, read the blogs (especially the one where they smear this officer’s faces with red) and realize that these police are targeted and their deaths are celebrated. Watch what you say, though, because you may be called racist if you have an issue with this website.

The hate I have for this guy and for anyone who has intentions of killing Police officers in unbelievable. Is there a bigger piece of shit out there then someone who kills COPS! Its disgusting to know that there are people living among us that have absolutely no love for anyone or anything, not even there own mother. These muther f*ckin people I wish I wish I WISH!!! I could just wipe them off the face of the earth. My prayers are with his family. And to Philly cops…..Your our soldiers, you have our support on the war against these niglets.
