What the sheriff doesn't tell you in the press release is the drunken driver was Mexican, undocumented, and didn't even have a valid drivers license even in Mexico.

Do you have a link for this?

Someone get a rope!

[Armedanddangerous]

Not yet, it just came into my email box, but it should have a link later this evening,.

Lead paragraph is atrocious. Very sad event.

Probably 40% of the drivers on roads in Mexico do NOT carry a Mexican drivers license. Children often drive, I've never known anyone in 20 years to get a ticket for driving without a license, except maybe in the Northern States of Mexico where the law is applied and bribes are sometimes the exception.

Did you send this to Prez Bush?

license even in Mexico.

Because Mexicans are our neighbors.
And you wouldn't want to hurt their feelings.
It wouldn't be nice.
(/sarcasm)

I sympathize. The same Bravo Sierra is going on in Mid-Missouri, although
occassionally there is some push-back against the invasion by illegals.
Recently, a law was passed that contractors for state projects could
lose their gig if it was found they were employing illegals (other penalties
attach).

check PMs to you regarding this pleeeze...thanks..

Who is the subject referred to as "Hall" at the end of the story? Perhaps another vehicle involved?

[VOA]

"...and didn't even have a valid drivers license even in Mexico."

For illegals, a drivers license is seen as an optional sort of deal:

I just read that my own self..I think it must be a mistake by the sheriff,,there wasnt anyone involved in the accident named Hall...that I know of.

[Onelifetogive]

DUI Causing Death is a felony which carries a potential sentence of 1 to 10 years in prison.

You have to be sh!tt!^& me!

[RMDupree]

So if the sheriff didn't release that information, how do you know it?

Or is the last name of the DUI driver enough for ya?

[pabianice]

"Screech! Racism!"

[Armedanddangerous]

The sheriff released the information, it came in a press release..I just cant explain the Hall name at the end of the last paragraph.

And I was at the accident...I photographed it

[Armedanddangerous]

Yep, first offense, that is the sentence..

[newcthem]

Just ask Jorge and the @ssholes in Washington........just doing the jobs Americans won't do.

[RMDupree]

The sheriff released the information in a different press release than the one above?

Can you post that one please?

Photographing an accident doesn't necessarily mean you know the details of the parties involved.

Don't be offended, but there needs to be a valid source. :-D

[Armedanddangerous]

That is the press release verbatim.

I just cant explain why he had HALL at the end of the story.

It came in an email here in the last couple of hours.

I have a call into the sheriff to see who Hall was..but I suspect it was just a typo.

I also just looked through a copy of the accident report faxed to our office, and it doesnt mention anything about anyone named Hall therein, which leads me to believe it was an honest mistake.
