Please pray for the family.
Prayers for his family, umgud. I saw this earlier. I’m so sorry for all who know and love him.
I am so sorry...Prayers being said. ~Pandora~
Prayers for the family.
Prayers up for Daniel and his family.
This is what O’Reilly talked about the other night—anarchy and chaos overwhelming the land and taking innocent lives every day.
This is what Geraldo Rivera defends. Geraldo is a commie in disguise.
So, so sorry for your loss.
If there are any injuries and/or fatalaties
they can be brought to trial later on these
charges.
We must stop this process of charging them with
reckless driving and 30 days in jail.
these violent street gangs need to be hunted down and disposed of. much like the terrorists. i just wish the military and cops were allowed to do their jobs. but that topic is for another day. sorry for this families loss.
Prayers for this family’s courage and strength to be sustained by faith in the face of this tragedy.
I don't think this gangbanger was an illegal, but O'Reilly was right on the money. This guy had a violent past and I'll bet a lenient porole board and a lib judge didn't keep him locked away anywhere long enough.
Thank you Bannie, all
Prayers on the way...
I hope murder charges are being filed against the perp too.
Prayers for all who loved him....

If you are one of those who insist on apprehending the perp right now at any cost, keep it in mind that the bystander that gets killed may be a loved one of yours... The cost could be high for you.
A couple of years ago, a close friend of my kids was broadsided by a police cruiser that ran a red light “in chase”. The girls boyfriend was killed and the girl has brain damage. All for what? Someone running a red light.
In this case we don’t know if the perp was an immediate threat or not.
This started when cops went to the perps hous to serve a felony warrant, then the chase was on. He did have a violent past, but even so, the cops did back off this chase. When the perp hit the other vehicles, the cops weren’t there and only arrived after the fact. this guy was still speeding away in spite of the fact he wasn’t being chased. But, you are right, too many chases for minor offenses kill or maim too many innocents.
So very sad.
Prayers for his family.
Prayers for the victim & his family. May he rest in peace.
Prayers along for the family ....................... God Bless
God have mercy on his soul.
It’s a horrible thing to have no warning and no time to make your peace.
