When the Rev Willis' van drove over it, it hit the gas tank, punctured it, and the van exploded -- flipped end over end (like a race car crash on steroids).
Six of their nine children died.......and nothing happened to the ILLEGAL....
Gov George Ryan (now in jail for taking bribes for granting licenses) basically admitted he was behind the coverup.
=====================================
Am I wrong? When the Ryan license scandal hit the papers few years back, seems not too much was made of the illegal angle?
No you're absolutely correct. Nary a word was mentioned about the ILLEGAL Truck Driver, Señor Guzman. But keep in mind IL and Chi is one big sanctuary for them. So 'status' is seldom mentioned. IIRC it was John Kass (nobody else would dare) from the Chi Trib that mentioned that 'tidbit' in his columns.
Also, after the Willis deaths (Murders?) all the drivers who bought their licenses (the lackeys squealed) had a chance to take and pass the CDL Test legally - not one applied. And many couldn't be found (Viva México) as the mailed notices were returned to the SOS Office as undeliverable. So their 'status' was obvious (No hablo inglés).
I also seem to recall that Señor Guzman disappeared from the Trucking Co he worked for when the 'accident' happened. And they too were a real piece of work, most of their trucks were junkers with faulty brakes.
