The H1b Visa and the CHP Officer Youngstrom Fatal Shooting

======================================================================

This page and others will detail my position on how the H1b visa resulted in the shooting death of Officer Kenyon Youngstrom.  I was once afforded the pleasure of meeting him at the Walnut Creek Starbucks at in early 2012 when he and his partner sat down next to me more than once.  We had a chance to talk just once when they took the table next to me.

During that brief meeting we casually chatted about life and Youngstrom was rather funny, very likable and was down to earth.  What they did not know was my research on Contra Costa County events which has become the framework of this blog.  There were three separate visits where we crossed paths but my personal situation because this former well paid american programmer was homeless and living his Ford Explorer that was towed away days after another tragedy, the Anthony Banta Jr. shooting.

Most programmers when reading this article by Matthias Gafni might ponder why he was traveling between jobs daily.  Programmers interview a few times, get hired, go to work where they often spend weeks reading code, documentation and have meetings about objectives before touching the code.

The quote from Mindsource was he was a fantastic programmer is flawed as it reeks that Lacey was another Fake Interview Victim.  I know as I've been contacted by Mindsource but also don't believe a word from their recruiters.  I've also got Chris Lacey's linked-in profile and from my experience can see his is skills appear solid and I would be the papers in his backpack were bills or the letter from Mindsource woudl he burned his precious cash driving from Corning CA to San Jose CA.

Please take a moment to read my comments on being stalked in Walnut Creek CA where I was followed near relentlessly for two years.  In one of those events the stalkers took pictures of Youngstrom but I reported the stalking to Walnut Creek Police but read this posting about how they handle attempted murders which is why I stood up in front of the city council which is probably why

The hidden message here: They found Lacey from the internet but they state they have a rich source professionals.

"We found him on a job board through a mailing list," Meza said of Lacy's hiring. "It's just very strange. This can happen to anybody."

Additionally when you read their self-fulfilling comments about how they source it's obvious to me that Mindsource was seeking someone to interview for an H1B Visa re-certification interview.   Please read the The H1B Fake Interview  to learn more about this process.  The H1b visa constitutes about 3 million positions taken by foreign tech workers at a 20% discount or better.

Christopher Lacy started software job 7 days before CHP shooting

MOUNTAIN VIEW -- Christopher Lacy, just days into his new job as a senior software engineer, was on his way to a Sunnyvale client on Sept. 4, the day he shot and killed a California Highway Patrol officer without warning, investigators and a company official said Wednesday.
The 36-year-old programmer had long worked remotely for various Silicon Valley companies but was hired at Mountain View-based Mindsource Inc. a week and two days before the shooting, said Gabriel Meza, Mindsource's vice president of human resources. As a senior software engineer, Lacy was tasked with the development of Java, a computer programming language.
"In the seven days he worked for us, the only feedback was he was doing an amazing job," Meza said. "He was top level. Very senior."

The new job required that Lacy visit various Silicon Valley clients at their sites to provide consulting, Meza said, meaning Lacy would have to either commute 430 miles round-trip from his home to isolated and rural Rancho Tehama, outside of Corning, or stay somewhere in the Bay Area during the week. Neighbors said Lacy moved north a year ago because he despised the hustle and bustle of the Bay Area.

On Sept. 4, Lacy was scheduled to provide consulting for Hewlett-Packard at their Sunnyvale office, Meza said. After a likely four-hour drive from his trailer in Rancho Tehama, Lacy was pulled over on Interstate 680 in Alamo for having an obstructed license plate. After a 10-second interaction with CHP officer Kenyon Youngstrom, Lacy shot him without warning. A second officer then shot Lacy to death. Youngstrom died the following evening.

His neighbor speculated that Lacy had been spending his weekdays in the Bay Area because his Jeep Wrangler was gone the week before the shooting.

"He told me he didn't ever want to go back down there," neighbor Jim Bowron said. "But you have to go where the money is, and Silicon Valley just happens to be that."

An email from a Mindsource recruiter was found in his Jeep by investigators, according to a search warrant filed in Contra Costa Superior Court this week. "We found him on a job board through a mailing list," Meza said of Lacy's hiring. "It's just very strange. This can happen to anybody."
Detectives seized a handgun safety certificate, ammunition, a gun-carrying case, three shooting targets and large amount of computer equipment, among other items, from his Tehama County trailer, according to court documents.
While searching the Jeep, investigators also found "a backpack containing (mail) belonging to Lacy, pistol ammunition, four loaded pistol magazines, a knit cap and a pistol shoulder holster," according to the warrant.
Youngstrom, 37, of Cordelia -- who donated his organs, saving the lives of four people -- will have a memorial service Thursday morning at a Vacaville church.

The CNET Storm Troopers and Boss Man

You have wonder why the Lafayette Chief Of Police can't respond to an attempted murder, or numerous attempted murder incidents spanning decades are ignored.  

Clockwise from Top Left: San Ramon Police Officer Louis Lombardi, Albert D. Seeno of Seeno Construction, Chris Butler Private Investigator and former Antioch Police Officer, Norman Wielsch former Contra Costa Narcotics Enforcement Taskforce Commander (California Department of Justice or CAL DOJ),  a couple of very pathetic we're sorry letters from Walnut Creek Police and Lafayette.

The guy in the bottom right hand corner?  My former fucking neighbor who likely assisted in blowing my truck up in 2004.  Former Danville Officer Stephen Tanabe who knows Butler, Lombardi, Wielsch and Gary Collins the building inspector who nearly killed me in 2004.  I was one or two blows from going down it was a close call but I managed to push him off me with a good ole soccer gut kick.

I've asked the Boy Scouts of America to look in to what happened at the Pinewood Derby in 2007.  Tanabe was close enough to my residence he could walk over to my house and rig my truck to erupt in flames.

There is a large slew of Agency Amnesia and a lot of deceased persons that you can easily pair up to Seeno.

Obituary: Michael Chavez Concord City Councilman

Concord, Calif., City Councilman Michael Chavez, owner of the of the Charisma Salon, died Saturday after suffering a heart attack during a community meeting. - See more at: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/contracostatimes/obituary.aspx?pid=92116824#fbLoggedOut

Concord City Councilman Michael Chavez died Saturday shortly after collapsing at a packed public meeting that was broadcast live on local television.

Vice Mayor William Shinn said Chavez had a heart attack.

Chavez, a 61-year-old hairstylist, had just finished sharing his thoughts on the planning for the Concord Naval Weapons Station when his head suddenly slumped to his chest and his face turned blue, said Shinn, who was sitting next to Chavez.

"I was following up with my thoughts when I heard the city manager ask, 'Michael, are you all right?' " Shinn said. "I looked at Michael and thought he was having a seizure."

A former firefighter and a nurse who were among the nearly 200 people attending the meeting at the Concord Senior Center ran to Chavez's assistance and performed CPR, said Shinn, who assisted.

"We got him going a couple of times. He would gasp for breath and start coming around, but then he would fade out again," Shinn said.

Paramedics took him to Mount Diablo Medical Center in Concord, less than a mile away, where he was pronounced dead.

"He was not your typical politician," Mayor Mark Peterson said. "It wasn't like he had a big political machine behind him. He got elected because he knew a lot of people who knew he could help them."

Chavez grew up in East Los Angeles, where, as a teenager, he picked up a pair of scissors and instantly knew hairstyling was his calling, said Mary Jo Rossi, Chavez's longtime friend and campaign manager.

He ran a hair salon in San Francisco before moving his business and life to Concord about 27 years ago. Charisma Salon, his shop on Clayton Road quickly became a hub for local politics.

"You could walk in at any given time and find a politician inside the salon either getting their hair done or stopping in to talk politics with Michael. Getting a haircut from him was an event. By the end of 45 minutes, you always got to the bottom of something," Rossi said.

Before winning election in November, Chavez served on the Concord Planning Commission, chaired the Concord Parks and Recreation Commission, and was among the leading forces in rebuilding Todos Santos Park, colleagues said.

Chavez is survived by his wife, Vikki, and two children, Austin, 15, and Dallas, 13 - both adopted from Russia.

"He was full of life and just the best dad a guy could ever have," Austin said. "He changed my life and my sister's life. I miss him so much."

Memorial services are planned for later this month in Concord.

The attached links cover the numerous letters to Lafayette about the hit and run accident.  Somewhere in my allegations you'll find that I said "Bright Light" blinded me enough that I totaled my car.  The Pilots on the Asiana Flight 214 publicly stated this immediately after the crash.  Even though the current (Dec 2013) hearings point to Pilot Error the recent Flight 800 Movie has former NTSB Investigators stating on film that the investigation was flawed.  

You should watch the film and make your own decisions.  

My accident was planned and premeditated but the Chief is part of that big Danville Christiansen clan.  One of them is probably the father of the son my ex gave up for adoption decades ago.

Concord police believe a 47-year-old transient pulled dead from a creek in Newhall Park drowned after falling in.

A neighborhood resident pulled the man from the water at about 5 p.m. yesterday. Police and paramedics arrived minutes later and rushed the man to John Muir Medical Center, where a doctor pronounced him dead.

The resident told police he had seen the man in the creek earlier in the day and told him to get out of the water, police said. The resident told investigators the transient was alert but may have been drunk, said police Lt. Keith Whitaker.

The resident said he returned about 5 p.m. to check on the transient and found him lying in the water, Whitaker said.

Police withheld the man's identity but said he was a transient often seen in the area.
