I wish all victim’s families would do this.
“s month of shooting Johnson seven times after he was arrested during a traffic stop.”
After arrest you are handcuffed. What really happened?
The victims (or their survivors) holding the employers accountable for the criminal illegals they hire.
A GREAT idea. I hope she ends up owning a lndscaping company.
“It wasn’t planned; it wasn’t deliberate...” his attorney says.
It may not have been planned, but it WAS deliberate.
It is not possible to accidently shoot someone 7 times.
May she take this company to the cleaners. But, don’t hope for it, because a lib-O-judge will find some reason to throw a Clinton-wrench into the proceedings.
“What really happened?”
He was handcuffed, but the LEO missed the gun in a patdown. Here’s the full story.

This suit will have significant problems on this issue of causation.
I wish all victim’s families would do this.”
I hope this lawsuit goes forward and that she wins on all counts.
We all need some precedences for what is coming down the road at all of us with the illegal intruders.
This is more than just hiring an illegal. After Quintero was deported Camp paid to have him brought back to Houston to work for him. Two really bad news types. Too bad Camp isn't up for the death penalty.
It’s a pity all the government officials guilty of deliberate negligence in not enforcing our immigrations laws can’t be sued. I wonder if there has ever been another circumstance where so many sworn to uphold the law deliberately and actively refused to have it enforced.
For Quintero's employer not to have made sure he had a legal driver's license before allowing him to drive a company vehicle is negligence.
He either knew or should have known he wasn't a legal employee.
There ought to be a number of criminal and civil penalties that can be appropriately used against his employer.
However, I don't see how you get from hiring an illegal alien to having good reason to believe that he would shoot a cop.
The employer does need to be held accountable for what laws he did break, and reasonable consequences of breaking those laws.
Unless they can provide evidence that the employer had good reason to believe that Quintero would kill someone, it's not reasonable to hold them responsible for the officer's tragic death.
The employer should be held accountable for his own actions, but not the criminal actions of someone else, unless he should have clearly foresaw them. Otherwise, we end up with people using the civil courts to punish people beyond what the government has legislated.
The idea of suing the police department for not having two officers in each car is even worse.
Quintero is the one that is responsible for the officer's death, and he should fry for his crime.
His employer is guilty of illegally employing him, and might even be reasonably held accountable for allowing his to driver the vehicle if he struck someone in an auto accident.
However, I don't see a direct role in the capital murder of the police officer.
I can understand the officer's widow wanting to go after anyone remotely involved in her grief. However, this suit should be dismissed.
Good!
Count me as one conservative who does not support making employers equally as guilty as the illegals they hire. Especially when there are cases of the employer being charged, yet the illegal is still not deported. That’s like a quarter on a string.
Ping!
More power to the Johnson family in suing his business owner
Of course, the Business Socialists/Chamber of Communists types will whine and complain that the business owner shouldnt be liable...blah blah blah...but the owner knew that he hired an illegal and that the business owner did not check for a drivers license
My job requires a DL...and we are checked all the time. This business owner will get nailed on this...esp if Quintero ever drove a company vehcile...or used his POV for business reasons
Of course, Part II, the pro-illegal/anti-American lobby will piss and moan over this....but Americans are tired of criminal illegals. We have lost a LEO due to another criminal illegal..and its time it stopped
I predict that this business owner will settle out of court. He probably cannot afford the lawyers fees to defend himself to get to the point where a judge would dismiss this case. His insurance (if he has it) will push for a settlement
Fry the illegal and jail the employer
Yes.
