Was this postet to get sympathy for the robbers, or to prove that there is justice sometimes in this world...

It was to show that there is justice in the world.

I think the police should have left the armed carjackers in the wrecked vehicle, instead of taking them to the hospital.

The cops should have worked on the car and wall first. Once they were fixed, then they should have worked on the scum bags in it.

I feel much better now.....

No. Their names, race, and ethnicity are irrelevant. What matters is their actions.

If they were of Hispanic or Black ethnicity I doubt that their names would have been published!

Must be the introduction to an article about arrest and conviction of the police officers.

No, wait, they’re not Border Control officers. Never mind.

A relief to know I’m not the only one that thinks this way.

Whenever I see a police chase on TV with a stolen car, my first thought is always of the car owner who is going to have to go through hell to get their car replaced. And they will never see what it is worth.

My thought always is, if the perp is captured, they should never be let out of jail until they make sure the victim is totally reimbursed for the loss of their vehicle.

“Witnesses said they saw the car careen through the busy shopping plaza parking lot, missing parked cars and shoppers, before it crashed into the brick pillar. (Careering-missed objects)

“Bricks went flying everywhere,” said Amberlee Batchelor, of West Mifflin, who witnessed the SUV slam into the pillar from a window of Curves in the plaza. “If they were one store over, they would hit right were I was standing.” (Now that’s careening!)

Did you read that my post was not directed at you, but at Steveo, whose comment, which I think was a joke, could be taken as a negative attack against freepers?

Slow down and pay attention.

I am not certain what your intention is, but you substituted Hispanic names, and implied that some freeper's may be over obsessed with Hispanic's of late.

You I take it are getting tired of this.

The obvious answer, as to why there is a focus on Hispanics, is the immigration bill, the (slightly)less obvious answer is the degree of anger many of us have as to the failures of the government to address this issue.

The more obvious answer is the complete failure of the Republicans to grab this issue, capitalize on the anger and direct it to where it belongs:

Enforce the Law

No Amnesty

Voter ID mandatory

All Felons -- Deported, no questions asked.
