Illegal immigrant allegedly ambushed woman on Florida beach in random attempted drowning attack: police

An illegal immigrant is behind bars after police say he ambushed a woman on a popular Florida beach and attempted to drown her before leaving her for dead in a late-night attack.

Said Alexander Hernandez Gonzalez, a 26-year-old Venezuelan national, was arrested on Sunday for his alleged role in the "unprovoked" attack at Tiger Shores Beach in Stuart, according to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office.

"This is an extremely alarming case," Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek told WEPC. "Random acts of violence like this are some of the most difficult crimes to solve — and that’s exactly what this was."

"About five minutes after passing him, she was brutally attacked," Budensiek reportedly said. "She was grabbed around the throat, dragged into the ocean, and held down as she struggled to break free."

The victim eventually lost consciousness in the struggle, causing Hernandez Gonzalez to believe she was dead and throw her cell phone into the ocean, according to authorities.

"The next thing she recalled was waking up half in and half out of the water," Budensiek told the outlet.

“When asked if he felt any remorse, his response was, ‘No, I don’t feel nothing,’” Budensiek reportedly said.

And he did NOT walk from Venezuela.
So, When will the enablers be arrested, tried and convicted? I know, NEVER! Why?
“They” OWN the “law,”investigation, prosecution, appeal, and incarceration apparatus. No one of “Their” clique will ever pay, because the entire system exists for “Their” protection, not yours or mine. Isn’t that plain to see now?

This attack happened in the next county over from me and apparently the POS lived in my city. I have always told my kid to avoid the beach at night anytime, anywhere. Beaches have never been safe at 11 PM. Whatever that woman was doing, she learned a real good lesson and got lucky

Hold him under for say, 5 minutes, problem solved. Or, drop him off somewhere in the Gulf of America and let him swim home. Drop some chum in the water around him too.

>> Drop some chum in the water around him too.

Or save your chum money & cut him a little in a bleedy place (face, scalp, etc).

100% Ditto. No place is safe after dark these days and that is especially true for a woman.

There journalists are always ascribing POCs criminal and depraved actions to being “random.” These are targeted attacks. Cognizant people cannot act randomly.

I agree. And he was flown in here by Biden when Venezuela emptied their prisons.
He has no right to a lawyer or a trial.
He’s not a US citizen.
Venezuela doesn’t want him either.
Fly him to the devil’s triangle and dump him.
