Hare we go again!

"The sad part of it is he endangered himself and everybody on the road, when he probably would have been issued a citation and maybe released to Border Patrol if he would have pulled over and stopped,"

And if he keeps it under 80 from now on, he'll get free college tuition.

Bears repeating...

That lucky *(*%$ was released? What, after 4 arrests you no longer qualify for deportation?

[Bambino]

Damn, that really is a fiery crash!!!

[keysguy]

I hope the govt. pays to fix his car, send him to college, free hospital expenses and then gives the family whatever it needs. We have to take care of those poor Mexicons who want to game the system. You and I of course have to pound sand.

[Borax Queen]

Another psychotic "migrant" flipping cars Americans-don't- want-to-flip Ping.

[Darksheare]

Heck, I wouldn't want to flip a 2004 Chevy Impala!
It'd crush like a can!
Not at all as solid as the old designs!
Why, back when I was young...

It was unclear Wednesday why Martinez Vasquez was fleeing from officers, Oien said, but the suspect had been arrested by the Border Patrol four times previously.

It sure is unclear. He must have known they wouldn't do anything but release him again!

"I hope the govt. pays to fix his car, send him to college, free hospital expenses and then gives the family whatever it needs. We have to take care of those poor Mexicons who want to game the system."

As I understand it the congress passed legislation authorizing federal tax dollars to pay state hospitals for treatment of illegals. So I guess that means they think the problem is "fixed." Happy Drinko-De-Mayo everybody!

[Borax Queen]

ROTFL!

I can't believe he walked away. And, I'm surprised it wasn't an F150 or one of their usual stolen truck/van favorites. We have to quadruple secure our trucks at the mall or wherever we are in Tucson - even in our carports.

[keysguy]

Is it just us on fr or is the rest of the country as pissed off as we are?

[shellshocked]

They should have just let him burn. I have no sympathy for people who do high speed chases.

[Darksheare]

Sheesh.

Here the usual stolen cars are the Celicas, Civics, and Acuras.
All the 'sporty' looking cars.


I'm surprised he isn't dead.
120MPH, flipped AND sploded into flames.
He'd BETTER thank whoever was watching over him.
Because he's in "a bad ways" now.
And then some.

[Borax Queen]

That is a good question! I keep wondering. It seems like the polls show most/many people are upset, but a poll is easier to take than other actions.

[OKIEDOC]

Suspect Fled

What is it going to take to make people realize just how much of a danger these illegals are to America.

The illegals crossing our borders today are not the same caliber of illegals of my fathers years.

Why should America act as the sewer and cesspool for those peoples other countries do not want?

Why should America take in people who will not work to survive in their own country?

Some of these people are coming here to work.

Many are coming here to realize their dreams and I truly believe that. However, some are willing to do anything to make sure that happens even if it means the robbing, maiming or death of innocent American citizens.

Grrrr. . .

[OKIEDOC]

It would have been best for all had the officer not made a mistake and pulled this piece of crap out of the vehicle.

[Kokojmudd]

Yeah. I am surprised he didn't steal this one instead! Oh well there is always a next time!

[Little Ray]

That explains everything - this guy is just giving the Highway Patrol high-speed pursuit experience that Americans don't to...
