Defense attorney Richard J. Steinberg described how Promotor grew up on an impoverished farm in Mexico, suffering abuse at the hands of an alcoholic, violent father. After moving to Milwaukee, he worked as a busboy and dishwasher and assumed the patriarchal role to his younger brother.

Does anyone find themselves wondering if this Promotor slimeball was perhaps, just maybe, here ILLEGALLY???????

Isn't murder a capital offense???

Leave it to timebuilder to politicize this tragedy.

Leave it to timebuilder to politicize this tragedy.

Are you saying it was not already a political problem?

These people would still be alive if we were following our own existing immigration laws. In fact, those who immigrated legally would not have their public persona sullied by those who do not follow the rules.

It is the acts of the illegals: the crime against US citizens, the weight on the public assistance system, and the overwhelming costs developed by the criminal justice system that cause the public to frown upon Mexican immigrants. If we had the control of our borders, the many good pople who come here legally, seeking only opportunity, would not be lumped in with the negative element.

So, U.S. citizens never drink and drive?

 

[Timebuilder]

Of course US citizens drink and drive.

We have a sufficient number of people who do that.

We can therefore be more particular about those people we let into the country, and choose to admit those who will make a positive contribution instead admitting those who will help overload the welfare and criminal justice system.

Well, that certainly excuses him from punishment for driving irresponsibly and killing people, doesn't it? Maybe we should give him an ice cream cone and send him on his way.

You know what sentence I would have given him? I want him to get run over by a car. Maybe even dragged several yards. Preferably by a car driven by one of the victims' loved ones.

Sorry...my sympathy for drunk drivers is just about zero.

Well, in my opinion he got off easy. That's all that a persons life is worth? A few years in jail for the murderer, while at the end of his entence he may still be able to walk free, while a family will be suffering for his actions.

I've gotta side with timebuilder on this one.
Those 3 pilots would still be alive today and this discussion would never have come up had the immigration laws been enforced (if the drunk was actually an illegal...which if all he speaks is spanish then I would say it's a good bet that he is). The US has enough problems without help from outside (by that I mean illegal aliens) sources.

ps. I have no problem with immigrants (we're all immigrants if you trace the family tree back far enough)...just the illegals.

This "immigrant" obviously loves this country so much that he hasn't bothered to learn English and can't be bothered to obey the traffic laws nor even get a driver's license.

However, he does like the our cerveza evidently.

If he's not a citizen, he ought to do his time and then be tossed out on his ear, and then let in some other poor soul in that will appreciate the opportunity and contribute to our society rather than try and damage it.

From the article..
"Speaking in Spanish through an interpreter, Promotor apologized and said, "I leave it in God's hands."

What bothers me is the rising tide of people in this country (legal or illegal) who choose to benefit from the freedoms of the US yet do not learn English nor have any inclination to assimilate into American Society.
