Juan Manuel Alvarez, man who caused yesterday's multiple train derailment, is a U.S. citizen
Inland Valley Daily Bulletin ^ | 1/27/05 | Troy Anderson, Staff Writer

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.

I'm going to listen today just to see if he gives a retraction.

Maybe I will to. I'll have to write it down in my "diary", though, so the cardiologist will know what caused my heart monitor to spike during the hours of his show.

CA had an execution just recently. Arnold refused to stay the execution.

There is hope that those who serve notice on civilized society will get their just punishment.

Sounds like the only ancient Aztec rite he was interested in was smoking pot, etc. My fearless prediction - some Breck girl acolyte will end up claiming the marks on the tracks prove he just got stuck, and will sue Jeep for advertising the evil SUV's go-anywhere capabilities.

Because early reports have never been wrong.

Early reports often are quite wrong. However, this article is not early. It's more than 24 hours after the incident. Plenty of time for an enterprising reporter to get all sorts of facts on the guy. The local media (including this valley newspaper) had their hands on all the records of the perp's prior court appearances by yesterday afternoon.

Hey I'll admit I thought he was illegal. Whoop de doo. Doesn't change the fact that the expectation was based on the general lawlessness that we are importing from that border.<<<

Maybe he's a citizen, but was he BORN here? I doubt it. So, for me at least, it's the same thing: an imported murderer of any status is still an imported murderer!

I agree wholeheartedly. Believe me, I have no sympathy for this dude or his sob story.

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

Have the nativists said how many generations one needs, before one's a "real Amurrican"?

Imported or home grown, people are still dead. I don't see the relevance.

Oh, man. What about a documented, fourth-generation domestic murderer? I'm not clear on the distinction that's being set up here.

According to accounts I've seen and heard in local media, the perp appears to have been on an accelerating downward spiral due to drug abuse. He was starting to become violent with his wife, so she and her family threw him out. His own family says they didn't want to have anything more to do with him. He has all the earmarks of the type of mass killer who snaps one day and shoots up a business or school before either taking his own life or being killed by cops.

Yeah, I know. But how many years did it take to finally off the dude.

Fourth generation legal would be quite different. Than say "anchor baby legal".

Terre Haute has the Federal Death Chamber. If he is convicted on federal charges, then he'll end up here.

I'm betting he'll plead insanity.
