illegals and driving!! = ouch

The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Glad everyone is otherwise healthy......Now let Senator Smith know so he can make sure that he gets the root cause fixed.

 

Glad everyone is OK, but I have a question, how do you know he was an illegal? Honestly, if he was why would they let him go?

 

Is it not against the law to drive a vehicle without a license? What will probably have to happen is to get a class action lawsuit against the county/state for not protecting the public.

I thought it was illegal to ride in the back of a truck also.

 

But yet, if it were one of us that just forgot our license we would be in for the long haul.

 

On a side note: I heard that the widow of the truck driver that was killed a short while back (who lost her son also) when an illegal caused the accident and fled is being harassed by the gang the illegal is a member of.

BTW, glad everyone is ok Pepps

 

if by long haul you mean single court appearance wherein you present your drivers license.

 

My mother was murdered by an illegal (in another state) almost a year ago (Mother's Day to be exact). The cops caught him in her car and while he was fleeing, he got shot and killed. The Mexican consulate and the family wanted to sue the police department for wrongful death and tried to convince the police that my brother and I hired some one else to kill our mother and he just found the car. This was after they had three different names for the guy. I never did find out what his real name is. At least I don't have to worry about the cops letting him go and him killing someone else's mother.
SOMETHING has to be done. I don't know what the answer is, but what is going on sure ain't working.

I'm glad you all are all right.

 

Is this your story? If so, why aren't they mentioning the other driver and truck? (Glad you all are okay!!)

 

This is the kind of thing that needs to be handled by the KKK. :evil:

 

Before we go lynching someone who looks like a foreigner, again how do we know this was an illegal?

 

COZ DEY GOTZ DA BROWN SKIN. DEM BROWNIEZ AINT BEEN LET IN LEGOLY!


(btw, for anyone who might be offended thats not an attempt at a sothern accent, but a warhammer ork accent.)

 

Wow- so glad everyone is ok. (realitivly anyway.) Nothing like a good scare to help you remember how much you have, and how much you love those around you!! I hope everyone's boo-boo's feel better soon.

 

To keep from being too complicated for you, I'll say yes.

 

I'm sorry to hear this.

 

Well I am not here to open another can of worms. I just needed to say that first. With that said I am happy that "kiddo" and everyone are doing well with what we will call minor injuries. I believe someone else touched on this and I will just say that "mom" was buckled safe in the cab while "kiddo" was placed in a dangerous spot. I believe it should be illegal for anyone to ride in the back of a truck. That is just my opinion. Once again I am happy that everything didn't turn out worse than it did. Also a three year old truck can be replaced. A human life can not.

 

Thanks for sharing

Think the government should tell us what to eat as well? Ever heard of personal freedom.

In case someone missed it, Pepper's daughter is a teenager, which means she is over the age of 12.

 

Do you put a seat belt on when you get in the car
b/c you choose to or b/c that is the law?
