LOl! And they look so... alien, too!
However, I AM tired of almost every thread bringing the topic up, assuming every person with a Hispanic sounding name as an illegal. There was a thread about bedbugs this morning that blamed illegals for infestations. As if illegals have the bucks to stay 4 or 5 star hotels. So why bring the topic up here? Doesn't seem to matter anymore.
How about a thread about "Kalifornia" illegals drinking Budweiser at Starbuck's while using Microsoft Vista to read articles about Paris and Rudy? Post a thread with all of those topics. You know what you'll get?... 500 to 600 (I'll coin a term here) "FReejerk" comments denigrating the(insert bugaboo) topic.
There's a lobster loose! Quickly cover yourself with hot butter and carry lemons just in case!
They should have left them in the SUV.
I posted it here because it has a certain sense of justice.
Fair enough! Take care.
There are some comments though that I will make and I am not trying to attack any one here, but merely point out some observations:
Note: as you are brand new here, I am going to tell you that the words in italics are taken from your post my comments follow after the "--" and are not italicized.
the man driving ... has forced her to do drugs an got her hooked threatened her life -- It sounds as if your sister may have already been headed down the wrong path or she would not have gotten involved with such a guy. I would seriously doubt it if she was unaware that he was into drugs. She made a bad choice and got in way to deep. Bad things happen when people make bad decisions.
But who’s going to punish him for what he has done to my sister? -- Broken bones, jail time, what further punishment do you want? If you can, you should go talk to the prosecuting attorney (the police will tell you who that is) ask to give a statement to the judge prior to sentencing. Your story and that of your sister will then be considered at sentencing.
to all of you heartless people -- Although you may consider me heartless, anyone who knows me, does not. What I do have is heart for those who accept responsibility for their own actions and who do not seek to blame others for the bad decisions they have made. The first step for your sister, after she recovers, is to recognize that some of the choices she made put her in a position to not be able to control her own fate. If you cannot control your fate, then tragedy will befall you.
As for you, as you hurt during this time, it might be wise to direct your anger, not at those here who do not know you, but turn that negative energy into a positive energy and learn from this tragedy so that you may benefit others.
Good luck to you.
Brick pillar bump.
Hey, feel bad for the owner of the SUV. Just try getting an insurance settlement.
Quickly cover yourself with hot butter and carry lemons just in case!
Not another Paris Hilton thread!
Ross police Detective Benjamin Dripps said, “Lamond was desperate and driving at 80 miles per hour. We had no choice but to use the Old Brick Pillar Trick.”
Your apology is of course accepted, but also, not required. I saw that you responded to the last poster of the thread , which was me, and thus I did not take it personally.
Please come back and update us on your sister. I do wish you, and her well. Thank you.
I'm just happy no innocent bystanders were hit. As far as the fleeing felons go, they got the reward of their criminal stupidity.
Their foot shall slide in due time.
I wouldn’t call it a “phenomenal coincidence”
I simply came across the site when I did a web search for info about the accident, since I live in AZ and she lives in PA I didn’t even find out about what had happened until two days later from a distant relative in PA. I did a web search to see if I could find out any of the details.
OK. Fair enough. We get a lot of new posters who try to do as much damage as they can until they are banned. So, we tend to be a bit suspicious under these circumstances.
As to your original post...
to all of you heartless people that post on this site, maybe you should take time to learn the whole truth before you are so quick to judge,
I wouldn't be so sure that you have the whole truth either. Before you judge her to be not responsible for her apparent role in this, you might want to hear what is presented to a jury.
Watch this video. At this point in time, I can relate to the fellow, who is almost in tears, saying how he's grateful that if someone had to be hurt, it was not his family.

I hope your half sister can get her life together. Please let us know if she is acquitted.
I will say a prayer for her and your family.
