Tributes are pouring in from all over Southern California and the world for that matter in honor of Long Beach Fire Captain David Rosa who was killed this morning in a horrific incident after responding to a 911 call to a multi-story retirement complex in the cities downtown area.

"It is with deep sadness and tremendous grief that we announce that Captain David Rosa has died from injuries sustained from a gunshot wound he sustained at an emergency incident. Capt. Rosa is a 17 year veteran of our department and is assigned to Station 10," was stated in a tweet this morning just after 9 a.m. from the Long Beach Fire Department.

Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia...who has a heart of gold in guiding this major municipality here on the west coast stated in a Facebook post: "Today is an incredibly sad day for Long Beach and the Long Beach Fire Department. We’ve lost one of our local heroes and another is injured but stable. We are all praying and sending love to the families and our Long Beach Fire Department."

The Fire Chief in Chico, California posted this tribute a few moments ago:

Myself and the rest of the men and women of @ChicoFD extend our deepest sympathies to @lbfd and to Capt Rosa’s family for your loss.  Our prayers and thoughts are and will continue to be with all of you throughout this difficult and emotional time.

Another twitter user by the name of Dave posted this comment:

It’s a sad day when a person will attack a firefighter. Firefighters do nothing but help people and put themselves in harms way. Prayers for his family, friends, and fellow firefighters. RIP Captain.

My thoughts...
Our world is not an easy place to live these days. Death, tragedy, anger, cowardness have gripped society. We cannot tolerate the murder of any law enforcement servant anywhere under any circumstance. How can we stop this madness. It must stop. We cannot go on living like this. What are your thoughts?

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
