Grieving family and friends await investigation results

Ramon Garcia Salazar, 31, was standing with his father, Juan, on Saturday morning November 14, hoping to be chosen from among a group of men for a day's work in manual labor. He and his father were selected, but each for different job locations.

It was the last time the father saw his only son alive.

Something went terribly wrong at about 10 a.m. as deputies responded to a 911 disturbance call to the Subway restaurant located at the 2900 block of Rubidoux Boulevard in Jurupa Valley.

Salazar was shot by deputies and died from injuries sustained inside the restaurant as he allegedly charged at them with a hammer.

Laid to rest, questions remain

Where did paramedics take Salazar? Did the taser miss or malfunction? What does the in-store video surveillance reveal? Are sheriff's deputies trained to kill or disarm a man wielding a hammer?

Catholic education group opposes honors and platforms to proponents of same-sex marriage

IC News - The Cardinal Newman Society, a Catholic education society, issued a statement March 11 to encourage Catholic schools, colleges and universities to not honor any CEO or executive of the 379 companies included in a friend-of-the-court brief filed March 5 to encourage the U.S. Supreme Court to sanction same-sex marriage throughout the United States.

"[W]hat these companies have done is to attack the very foundation of society, the family, for the purpose of compliance, reducing costs and boosting profits," stated Cardinal Newman Society president Patrick Reilly.

"We will publicly warn Catholic families and their bishops and pastors about any school, college or university that chooses to honor any board member or senior leader of the 379 corporations and business groups that joined the March 5th brief," Reilly said.

The 379 companies attempting to persuade the U.S. Supreme Court to rule in favor of same-sex marriage include Apple, Bank of America, Google, Microsoft, Target and Verizon Communications.

"Any such honor," Reilly continued, "does harm to the Catholic church and undermines our bishops, who have clearly explained why Catholics must defend marriage without compromise."
