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.
This suit will have significant problems on this issue of causation.
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.
