If Al Sharptongue or Jesse Hijacksin show up shortly to characterize the killings of the robbers as excessive, we will know more about the perps.
I doubt they’ll be showing up at this one.

Houston police on Friday said they believe at least two of the three robbery suspects killed in a shootout with a jewelry store owner were Hondurans.
Nelson Wilfredo Tambora-Ramiro, 21, Onilton Bolanos Castillano, 38, and a third suspect who remains unidentified died at the scene of the robbery Thursday at the Castillo Jewelry store in Houston’s East End.
Tambora-Ramiro and Castillano were carrying Honduran identification, HPD spokesman Kese Smith said. But the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences has yet to confirm the names or ages of any of the dead men.....
Store owner Ramon Castillo, 52, who was hit at least three times during the shootout, remains in critical condition at Memorial Hermann-The Texas Medical Center. His family declined an interview request, but his three adult children issued a written statement Friday.
“On Thursday, December 16th, our parents were the victims of a horrible crime that resulted in critical injuries to our father, Ramon Castillo,” they said. “Words cannot express our outrage at this needless act of violence. However, we are not surprised that our father chose to fight back against these attackers to save his property and most of all, to protect our mother and his wife of 30 years, Eva. We are extremely proud of our father for his heroic efforts and believe that he will make a full recovery.”

There are probably people who think that if we'd just passed the Dream Act a little earlier they'd have been in school instead of out robbing jewelery stores.
