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."

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

ROTFLOL!
This is a hilarious thread now.
My sides are starting to hurt from alll the laughing.

No Poohbah, it's called race baiting. Something you routinely participate in. Exactly what PRND21, bayorod and several others do here on a routine basis.

Pretty ugly stuff.

Haaaatch, A, double R, I,
G, A, N spells Harrigan.
Proud of all the Irish blood that's in me. Divil the man who'd speak a word agin me....

[csvset]

He's also a proud Aztec Warrior

Good, so he'll understand when they cut his heart out.

Buttered or plain?

[yarddog]

I am surprised he wasn't called a Nazi, or Klansman (wait, he was calling him that), or maybe that incredibly clever put down, suggesting that he hates JOOOS, (has anyone ever really pronounced or spelled Jews that way?).

Of course they see themselves as cosmopolitans who are so above the Xenophobes here on FR.

BTW, I never understood that term as I am familiar with Xenophon's writing (I had to read The Anabasis) and don't recall him ever showing a hatred of foreigners.

Giggle...always great to have a friend around to share in the fun.

Hmmm.
Yummy, I'll take buttered.
Thanks. :)

[judgeandjury]

Not at all. I merely posted it to see who would start demanding to know what I meant by posting it.

It's called "flushing the game."

What a lame explanation. Is that the best you could come up with?

[Wolfstar]

Well, thanks for making an appearance, Joe. You can't seriously mean that "sheetheads" is race baiting. If so, what does that make the automatic assumption that everyone with a Spanish-sounding surname is an illegal alien?

[Tempest]

That would be a great punishment. Hell I hear the jerk is suicidal yet hasn't managed to really commit to the act. He needs an assist.

[Poohbah]

It worked on YOU, didn't it?

Looks like the usual suspects have arrived... where's that popcorn?

[Wolfstar]

Hopefully soon to be deceased U.S. citizen.

Yes, hopefully. However, as I've reminded folks several times earlier on the thread, this is California. We don't put killers to death. We marinate them slowly in a judicial stew over the course of at least 20 years.

Mmmm!

Lots of butter and salt for me, please!

[PRND21]

Hopefully soon to be deceased U.S. citizen.

Ain't that the truth.
btw, my daughter's school is on San Fernando a few blocks from the incident.
Caring mostly about the perp's race is racist.

Fry him...after 20 years of appeals, of course.

[wimpycat]

Oh, there's ways around that. Some thoughtless guard could forget to confiscate his belt, or some unfortunate accident could befall him. You never know.
