Illegal who killed cop blames arrest on 'race'
Houston Chronicle ^ | April 30, 2008 | BRIAN ROGERS

Posted on 05/01/2008 7:32:23 AM PDT by Joiseydude

Death penalty jurors Tuesday watched Juan Leonardo Quintero demonstrate how he fatally shot Houston police officer Rodney Johnson while handcuffed behind his back.

"In the waist," Quintero said on a videotaped interview, while also showing how he pulled the gun from his waistband on his right, cocked the hammer, leaned forward in the back seat of Johnson's police car and shot. He was speaking in English.

During the trial, Quintero has worn headphones to hear a translator detailing the proceedings in Spanish.

When asked why he had the gun, Quintero, a Mexican citizen who is in this country illegally, said, "It's not safe, nowhere you go. You get robbed everywhere."

As some members of Johnson's family wept in the courtroom, Quintero said in the 17-minute videotape that he was arrested because of race and that he should have just received a ticket for speeding.

Johnson had stopped Quintero for speeding and arrested him for not having a driver's license.

Defense attorneys have not disputed that Quintero shot Johnson, but said brain damage caused him to imagine a dangerous threat, forcing him to take "unreasonable" actions.

1) Fry him.
2) Why didn’t the officer find the gun when he searched him?
3) Nice to see that he speaks English.

I guess, if you are an illegal w/o a drivers license, then you get to operate under different rules then those here legally??

Or is he saying that because he is an illegal, he is somehow incapable of behaving as any other legal resident would. Thus he should be given “special” treatment???

When you live in a culture where “race” is blamed for everything, then you have to expect this sort of thing.

Texas has a procedure guaranteed to cure this illegals brain damage, if they would only use it.

Let's see. According to Texas law you can only defend yourself from cops when they initiate force without due cause. Not having a license while driving? Guess what, you're going to jail and the has every power to take you in.

Killing said cop? Fry him.

He's assimilated nicely. That excuse would never work in Mexico.

I suggest that the Texas prison system supply an extra gurney and appropriate happy juice in case the Mexican consulate wants to send a representative.

Guess you can’t argue with ‘brain damaged’. Hadn’t been brain damaged, wouldn’t have been in the patrol car to begin with. Shoulda’ shot his ass at the border if we were doing our job. Hell with Mexico, and Mexicans!

This is the problem with the these people.
They are all a bunch of Freakin Tuco’s, they have lived on dirt floors, have no respect for anything and think and act like animals.The are as convinced of their superiority to the Gringos with a certainty that only the truly ignorant possess. They come from a country of social and moral anarchy, where even their rules are the one they make.They cross the border by any means and then what, they suddenly turn into a dignified and beautiful people who deserve our respect and groveling platitudes to their “Equal” or “Superior” culture and beliefs?

No, by all means send him back... after he’s been cooked “extra-well.” I’d rather dump the body back on their side to let them pay for the burial cost.

I thought texas didn’t care if the murderer was “retarded” or not... I thought they fried everyone equally, which is a d*mn good idea in light of this defense.

More Americans killed by illegal aliens than Iraq war, study says

When you start digging into the numbers the only ones that can be sourced with the feds are the number of American murdered in 2005: 16692
I have seen federal numbers for illegals held in jail ranging from 19.3% to 27% of the federal prison population.

Here's a sampling of USA cities wanted for murder. What you'll see is that in big USA cities like LA or NYC most of the murderers are Hispanic. Unknown are the % of illegals. In smaller cities the FBI will post the nationalities of the murderers. About 25% of the most wanted are illegals wanted for murder. This number agrees with the percentage of illegals incarcerated in federal prisons. +-25%

Pictures of top 10 most wanted in LA. Up until recent stories about crime in LA posted by the LA Times--the pictures included the nationality of the murderers. They were all foreign nationals and mostly Mexican.

Wanted for Murder in New York City.

Chicago wanted for Murder


Philadelphia wanted for murder

San Francisco wanted for Murder


New Orleans wanted for Murder

Pictures of suspects wanted for murder in Washington DC

FBI USA 10 most wanted. (two of 10 are Mexican nationals) Around 40% of the FBI's wanted for murder are Mexican Nationals

There are currently no exact numbers on the number of Americans killed by illegals. Part of the reason is that the government deliberately obscures the number. I talked on the phone with the head of statistics for the US Bureau of Prisons. He said his office wasn't allowed to publish the number of illegal alien murderers. Rather they were forced to put legal and non legal residents in the same category. I talked to ICE. They put out detailed numbers on illegal child molestors. However, they put out nothing on illegal murderers.

Part of the reason for the silence on the matter is that there is evidence to suggest that most Americans being killed by illegals are black--as is the suggestion in this LA Times Article. Also this article from the LA Times. And here. This makes intuitive sense. We see stories regularly of drug gang killings in Mexico but we don't see those same stories in the USA. The reason we don't see those stories is not because its not happening. Rather we don't see the stories about illegals killing blacks because that kind of story is terribly politically incorrect. The populations being displaced in downtown sanctuary cities especially are American blacks. That means that their criminal elements would be pushed aside by Mexican gangs as well. That's also the story that the wanted for murder posters in all the major cities seems to suggest.

Nevertheless, the pattern of non reporting is starting to break. Discovery Channel has a series called Gangland that mentions ethnic cleasing of blacks by Mexican gangs

Reported Foreign Nationals on Death Row in the U.S.

To look at other USA cities go here http://stlouis.fbi.gov/ and replace stlouis with the city you want.

All that said the true number of criminal aliens is far higher than is revealed by criminal aliens in prisons. Most are simply waived through the courts.DHS Secretary Chertoff, has been quoted as warning that two million people in this country illegally have committed serious crimes. See also here and here Here is more info from Judicial Watch.

However the number of illegals on death row is far lower.
