And finally the piste de resistance: Trekell said he has received e-mails from people "as they are crying at their computers and students just enraged and vowing vengeance." Crying at your computer just because someone won't pat you on the head and call you a "good boy" for sodomizing your buddy? Give me a break. That last part gives me a little concern, though. Vengeance? In what form? If it's a political effort to sway public sentiment, then that's their First Amendment right. But if it's something else, they'd better cool their heels and get a grip.

My Turn: Why I don't 'shop Taos'

Local newspapers often print letters from merchants in Taos County who encourage residents of the city and county to shop locally. Many local retail establishments are struggling to survive and residents are asked to purchase here to support the local economy. I rarely shop Taos. I wait once a month and shop in Santa Fe, or, when on business out of state, shop and mail my purchases home. I also make frequent purchases over the Internet. Why? Because I have experienced the following: Choice is limited. I don’t find what I need here. It’s just as easy to order over the Internet and receive my goods for the minimal cost of shipping and get exactly what I want when I want it. The purchase usually arrives in a matter of two to three days and is delivered to my door. Cost of shipping usually amounts to the cost of a couple of gallons of gas at most (and if the order is large enough, shipping is free). Many merchants don’t make it easy to purchase what I need. More than one merchant on the plaza refuses to take checks.

Two arrested, charged in Oakland man's murder

Last week, Crowder was arrested and booked in the Berkeley Jail, with bail set at $50,000, on suspicion of making death threats against another man on a Berkeley basketball court. Police said he told the man that the last time someone messed with him that man ended up dead. He then alluded to the Drummond case, Kusmiss said.

"During the police interview, Crowder identified Beaudreaux as the shooter," she said. "That was corroborated by witness accounts."

Beaudreaux was arrested Friday in San Pablo.

Relatives of Drummond were not immediately available to comment Wednesday.

After emigrating from Jamaica, Drummond grew up in Upland in San Bernardino County. He came to the Bay Area in 2003 and had been working for UPS at the Oakland airport at the time of his death.
