Life sentence for truck driver who smuggled immigrants in overheated tractor-trailer....

washington examiner ^ | 3/20/2018 | Anna Giaritelli

[Robert A Cook PE]

Good.

[Lean-Right]

Sad for those that suffered, but
you pay your money, and take your
chances. Knowing full well the
consequences. If these people are
going to die, they may as well die
trying to right the injustices in
their respective countries. At
least then, it would be a Nobel
cause.

[jmacusa]

While this is certainly a tragedy the greater tragedy is that Mexico cares nothing for providing Mexicans opportunities for a better life without Mexicans having to resort to things like this.

[Secret Agent Man]

He should have been sentenced for the illegal alien smuggling, not the deaths.

[Cobra64]

Good. All of these bastards smuggling ILLEGALS should be tried and executed.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The perp:

[a fool in paradise]

Go up the chain of command.
Who hired this mule? Who runs the operation?
Who did the riders pay for their passage?

Any border guards on the take?

[a fool in paradise]

They may not even be all Mexicans. Mexico does not like illegal immigrants from the south of their own border and wants to see them pushed through the country into America.

[GnuThere]

And how many times had he done it and gotten away with it?
It could be to the tune of adding hundreds or even thousands of illegals to our country that we’re now burdened with.

[Celerity]

These people knew they were going to die. But it was worth it to them to go to a country that offered them hope of a better life. For them and their kids.

The same country that the left will tell you is full of hate, trash and racism.

[grey_whiskers]

If America is so oppressive, why don’t liberals want a wall too keep poor, easily oppressed people out?

[A_Former_Democrat]

Thievy cant even find the death penalty for this . . .

What cowards

[Gay State Conservative]

If they were engaged in a legal activity when they died I’d have enormous sympathy.But they weren’t...so I don’t.

[Celerity]

OO OOOO OOOOOO MISTAH CARTA MISTA CARTA

I know this !

The liberals that I know, all in NY and CT wouldn’t be able to exploit the cheap labor for their house workers. The ones that ride the carefully engineered public transportation from the barrio to the one bus stop in the rich neighborhood so they can get to work.

That’s why rich neighborhoods have a single bus stop.

[BillyBonebrake]

Sanctuary City mayors are just as complicit as this truck driver.

[SamuraiScot]

I don't get this. Did he kill them intentionally--was it his plan all along? (And if so, wouldn't he have just taken their money and shot them without driving all that way?) Would his sentence have been that harsh if he'd, say, raped and murdered someone intentionally? Not in today's court system.

This is bad and awful and serious-jail worthy, of course--but why is this more serious than Charles Manson's sentence?

[Senator_Blutarski]

This is bad and awful and serious-jail worthy, of course--but why is this more serious than Charles Manson's sentence?

Charles Manson killed white people.

[NativeSon]

Not the best kind of advertising for Pyle...

[eccentric]

I would approve of this except now the taxpayers will be stuck with the killers old age medical expenses.
