It also reinforces the idea that if one is willing to break one law (entering/staying/working illegally) he is probably more likely to break other laws (dui/hit and run/etc).
susie
Just more evidence that the government only cares about itself, and to the government, the peasants/taxpayers are only there to be fleeced on April 15 (like we needed more evidence)
"And of course, when you are hit by illegals, there is no insurance, no recovery, etc."
You are SO right about that! My aunt was hit in a crosswalk by an illegal (California). She almost died. Was in hospital or rehab for over a year. They didn't think she would ever walk again. Thank God, she recovered. However, it was HER insurance that had to pay for everything, and she never did find out what, if anything, ever happened to the illegal scum.
How about sending them all down to Cuba? Do to Castro what he and Jimmah boy did to us.

Orlando police officer Jen Williamson arrived in the area and was assigned as the primary reporting officer for the offense. Officer Williamson conducted an interview with witness number 3, who told 0fficer'Williamson the Honda passed her at a high rate of speed, and struck the victim without attempting to brake or take evasive action. The witness was traveling the same direction on the same roadway as the Honda at the time of the offense. Witness number 3 later gave a sworn, recorded statement documenting her observations.
Responding law enforcement officers soon located the two passengers who had left the scene. The passengers, witness number 4 and witness number 5, were transported to the Orlando Police Headquarters.
Detective Joel Wright of the Orlando Police Department was assigned to conduct the follow-up investigation.

>> Murderer was from HONDURAS <<
So if I understand correctly, the guy aimed at the cop and now they are truying to STOP him from committing suicide?
Next time they should be a little slower...
Thank You Washington, DC for your liberal open border policy that IS KILLING PEOPLE IN YOUR COUNTRY. Does it matter to any of you elitist morons???
We'll never forget Deputy Callin.
On second thought, I would prefer swift justice and sentencing.
Too bad he didn't succeed in his attempt.
Losing a officer in the line of duty is really sad. I would not defend the perp who hit the officer but the officer jumped out in to the lane to stop the car with hand raised. I have seen this tatic used in my town and it seems very risky. I would be amazed to find out if this is taught at the academy. If the officer followed policy he would be here today and the illegal would be shipped back after serving time.
