Sheriff: Murder suspect is illegal immigrant
FayObserver ^ | December 17, 2008 | A staff report

Posted on 12/17/2008 11:51:37 AM PST by HollyButler

Investigators say they believe 64-year-old Paulette Locklear was beaten to death outside her home Tuesday afternoon after confronting a man who was trying to break in.

Julio Cesar Ramos, 45, is charged with first-degree murder in Locklear’s death. Ramos, who is from Honduras, has been deported from the U.S. several times and is in the country illegally, said Debbie Tanna, spokeswoman for the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office. Ramos told investigators he is homeless and unemployed., Tanna said.

Cumberland County sheriff’s deputies responded to Locklear’s home on the 1200 block of Wilmington Road after she called 911 Tuesday afternoon to report someone was breaking windows and trying to enter the house.

Deputies found Locklear’s body when they arrived at her home.

Ramos was taken into custody at the scene, according to an arrest warrant.

The exact cause of death has not yet been determined. Locklear’s body was taken to the State Medical Examiner’s Office in Chapel Hill for an autopsy.

Ramos is being held at the Cumberland County Jail without bail and is scheduled to make a first appearance today at 2:30 p.m. in the jail courtroom.

I wish "Criminal Alien" would be used instead of “illegal immigrant.”

It is illegal to cross the boarder without complying with our immigration laws. Anyone who does that is a criminal. An immigrant is someone who obeys the law.

Oh well, we have cheap lettuce.

Just doing what your average American is unwilling to do.

Build the Fence. Put the jobless to work building it.

In the past 50 years, my USofA has been destroyed by politics and illegal immigration. No one seems willing to do the job they signed up to do. Everyone’s afraid of “hurting someone else’s feelings” all the time.

Legal immigrants who encourage illegal immigrants should have their green cards rescinded. Citizens who do the same should be given a time out and fined heavily.

And here is another attempt at murder that failed at of all places at VFW Hall.ST. JOHNS — Authorities have charged a 21-year-old man, who they said was living in the U.S. illegally, with attempted murder in connection with a stabbing early Sunday during a dance at a rented VFW hall.

Ricardo Vasquez Orbera and three other men, all of whom authorities say have immigration violations, were arrested by Clinton County deputies soon after the stabbing, which happened at about 12:45 a.m.

Orbera, who lives in Ionia, was arraigned Monday in Clinton County District Court.

He also is charged with possession of cocaine.

The victim, who authorities identified as a 34-year-old Wheeler man, was in good condition Monday at Sparrow Hospital.

The VFW hall, located on U.S. 27, just north of St. Johns, was being rented for the dance, officials said.

My question is: when will law and justice be the norm again???

Well, when the people take the law into their own hands again. Our system anymore is an utter joke and our experiment with trusting police and lawyers to 'protect us' is quite the failure. They steadfastly REFUSE to enforce the law against illegal aliens. Unless we enforce the law ourselves it will not be enforced. Plain and simple.

How horrible. That woman should have had a gun to protect herself, instead of a telephone.

I emailed my Senator and Representative with the web address of the article and the article since it was short.

When we quit electing idiot politicians and start demanding a government for, by and of the people.
