Enrique Rodriguez? Say, you don’t suppose...... Nah!
Oregon. Flip a coin.
If it turns out he’s an illegal alien his charges will be drastically lowered. And bail will be a pittance, if there is any at all.
so now the public will be shamed into putting concrete barriers to protect the sleeping homeless bums....
That’s one way to clear out skid row.
Illegal alien?
I live in this town, drove by the scene this afternoon. Driver went down a straight road, failed to make a curve, drove over a curb-height median strip and straight on into the camp; never made an effort to turn. Best guess he was drunk off his ass.
Hey Oregon, how’s that illegal alien ‘sanctuary state’ shiite workin’ out ?
If every illegal killed four homeless people, Kate Brown would take credit for ending homelessness.
“If every illegal killed four homeless people, Kate Brown would take credit for ending homelessness.”
“You’re killin’ me Smalls” !!
Under Oregon law, I don't think the police can even check immigration status until he is convicted.
Shootings and murders are almost always blacks. Sex crimes and lethal drunk driving are....visitors with Spanish names. Drug crimes are white. That’s Oregon. I have family in Salem not far from that camp. They pitch tents right along the free way and the busy side streets so if any car loses control it is guaranteed someone will get hit. ODOT tries to kick them off the property every once in a while but, of course, the “dignity coalition” always sues to stop cleaning up the homeless camps.
