Alvarez's estranged wife said he threatened her and her family and threatened to abduct their 3-year-old son, although he never physically assaulted her, according to a request for a temporary restraining order that was granted Dec. 14, The Associated Press reported.

"He threatened to take our kid away and to hurt my family members," Carmelita Alvarez said. "He is planning on selling his vehicle to buy a gun and threatened to use it. He is using drugs and has been in and out of rehab twice."

Alvarez, a U.S. citizen, watched as the train barreled into his SUV shortly after 6 a.m.

"He was found right at the scene," [Glendale Police Chief Randy] Adams said. "The suspect has admitted placing his vehicle on the tracks."

[SNIP]

U.S. Attorney's Office spokesman Thom Mrozek said there is potential federal jurisdiction with a possible death penalty in the case.

Boy, this is a frustrating one for FR. Not a Muslim terrorist, not an illegal. Guess people could hold out hope he's gay.

In all likelihood, he's a Democrat, which should be excuse enough. The fact that he wussed out on killing himself and killed 10 other people instead isn't bad enough; there must be something else to bad-mouth him for.

Damn shame, ain't it, that this perp ruined their tirade by not being an illegal?

What is a hard-working bigot to do these days. Why...even American citizens are now committing crimes.

Glad to hear all is well with you, BTW.

Hopefully this at least will assuage some of the anti-illegal suspicions and insanity that has been stirred up.

When there are 20 million or more illegal aliens in the United States, the majority of which are Latino, it doesn't take much to get Americans' suspicions up when a tragic incident like this train derailment involves a Latino suspect.

I guess the theory is that the only way Americans can be criminals or insane is if they're tainted by foreign blood.

Your "theory" is full of holes.

LOL! What's a bigot to do? Too funny.

I am here all by myself, and my days are
busy, but it's someimes lonely at night.
I was thinking of going to the Humane Society
to get a dog, but now the squirrels come right
up to me on the porches for peaunuts and sunflower
seeds. Nature abounds here. Beautiful Cardinals,
Blue Jays, Mockingbirds etc. I feed all of em. The
125 year old oaks and other trees in my yards are
filled with birds and squirrels.

Wow!

a crime is not committed by an illegal alien and the FR leftist weirdos go wild with delight.

Perhaps in a few days another crime will be done by a citizen and they can celebrate again.

I missed all the fun yesterday, what with the speculation this creep may have been an illegal & all. But I must admit, the question did enter my mind - guess that makes me a 'sheethead'.

But what I do not understand is the victory dance some are doing now that the guys turns out to be a citizen... seems an inappropriate response, coming from fellow Americans, anyway.

In Los Angeles alone, 95% of all outstanding warrants for homicide ( which total approximately 1,200-1,500) target illegal aliens. Up to 2/3 of all fugitive felony warrants ( approximately 17,000) are for illegal aliens.

"Doesn't change the fact that the expectation was based on the general lawlessness that we are importing from that border."

Obviously.... We all know good American raised trailer trash doesn't commit stupid crimes or every do idiotic things.... Just look at all the illegals on Jerry Springer...

If this guy turns out to have been suicidally distraught because "the system" automatically gave custody of his kid to his wife, I'm gonna laugh, because some serious backpedaling will occur.

"Okay, I take it back...where I said he'd feel at home in jail with all the other illegals. Still, he seems more Mexican than American, esp. with his fascination with Mexican witchcraft and the name they gave their son."

Yes! Yes! That's it! That must be the reason good wholesome White Americans could never do anything like this... It's the MexiCAN influence in him!!!.....

*sigh*.....

The author probably reads FR and when he found out the status of the perp he probably said to himself.

Dear God! I should note that in my article to smackdown some of the rabid idealogues....

Every time I see someone use the despicable term "trailer trash", I realize he is not only a bigot, but a socially approved one.
