Part of the story is missing. Was this piece of garbage who smashed these two children an ILLEGAL ALIEN who never should have been here in the first place? If so, will the government officials who acted to keep him here, be put in the dock along with him?

The answer is that the politicians and bureaucrats will NOT be held accountable for their actions. The point is, they should be, as quickly and harshly as possible.

Yet, the liberal ‘reporters’ are only concerned that Sheriff Joe might stop some of this criminality.

I dont know whether he is an illegal. What I do know is that when immigration status is not mentioned, the answer is usually yes, illegal.

Some children are born to savages and they exist only to get killed. That was their purpose in life, to get brutally mangled.

In this case it doesn’t appear he was illegal, what he is is Schizophrenic and should not have been released from a mental facility.... according to blogs on AZFamily.com neighbors said about six months ago he called police to say he had killed his two children — the same age as these boys; he had not, in fact his children live in Colorado with their mother, in his crazy delusion he must have thought these boys were his children... The Arizona mental health system bears a lot of responsibility for turning this sick individual loose on his neighbors.

The tell-tale clues aren’t there in this article and the article linked below.

They list an uncle as Saucedo and the perp as Gallegos. I know that family name has a large presence in New Mexico. Neither name is hyphenated. And the Phoenix papers have begun making immigration status an issue in their reports of criminal activity.

Chances are fairly good that Gallegos is a citizen, or at least, a legal immigrant.

Here’s another report...

[snip]Doctors told police they believe the boys were bludgeoned repeatedly with a baseball bat or similar object. Police say they found a bat in Gallegos’ home along with clothing that appeared to be bloodstained.

Thompson said Gallegos, who lived nearby, followed two boys to the small neighborhood park and attacked them, then walked back to his home. Police don’t know a motive.

Police said video from a surveillance camera mounted on a house across the street from the park showed the boys walking toward the park, followed a minute later by a man carrying an object that looked like a bat. The occupant of the house said the man looked like his neighbor, Gallegos.

An uncle of Gallegos, Joe Sauceda, told police that he believed Gallegos had been diagnosed as a schizophrenic. The uncle also said Gallegos had told authorities about six months ago that he killed his sons in his attic, but police never found any such victims at the house. Gallegos’ sons live with their mother in Colorado and are the same ages of the boys who were attacked.

And another one:

As police searched the neighborhood for witnesses, they said a neighbor offered video from a surveillance camera that had captured images of boys walking toward the park, followed a minute later by a man carrying an object that looked like a bat.

Investigators who went to Gallegos’ house noted that he appeared nervous and that his appearance was similar to that of the man in the surveillance video. Police also said Gallegos had an odor of chlorine on his hands and stains that appeared to be blood on his shoes.

Gallegos, who was cited for misdemeanor assault in October for a fight at a restaurant, was arrested for not showing up for a court date. He was then booked on assault charges after a search of his house turned up the shirts and an aluminum baseball bat.

He declined to talk further with investigators.

Joe Sauceda, the suspect’s uncle, told police that he believed Gallegos had been diagnosed as a schizophrenic.

Sauceda also said Gallegos had told authorities about six months ago that he killed his sons in his attic, but police never found any such victims at the house.

Gallegos’ sons live with their mother in Colorado and are the same ages of the boys who were attacked at the park.

Adult schizophrenia is not pretty.

Our relaxed confinement laws since the 70s have contributed more to tragedies like this and to so many incoherent babbling bums on the streets.

I think that this is more an article about the criminally insane walking our streets, instead of being locked safely away...

“Part of the story is missing.”

Yeah, the part that explains his motive. Why would a grown man beat two boys with a baseball bat?

"Was this piece of garbage who smashed these two children an ILLEGAL ALIEN..."

The victims have Hispanic last names. Why aren't you asking whether they're "ILLEGAL ALIENS" too?

Some people will be horrified, but I think that people like this guy who committ heinous crimes should be tried, convicted for first degree murder and executed. Most people have no idea of the misery chronic schizophrenics subject family members and neighbors to because of a flawed mental health system. Chronic paranoid schizophrenics are repeatedly committed to inpatient psychiatric units when they are experiencing a psychotic episode. That period of committment may vary from state to state, but while they are detained they are forced to take psychotropic medication.

After a brief period the medication returns them to a lucid state. They then have a hearing and are able to respond rationally to the questions of the official who presides over these procedures. Then they are then released and returned to the community.

Invariably they take the necessary medication for a period of time and then refuse to take it any longer. They then repeat the cycle. Families are terrorized, people are murdered and maimed by schizophrenics who refuse to continue taking medication.

I believe that there is premeditation involved in the murders committed by these people, since they deliberately stop taking the meds and as this guy did, deliberately committ murders. I worked in the system for thirty years. I have heard the arguments against “warehousing” mentally ill patients in state hospitals. Many of those hospitals that held chronically ill patients were closed and we then saw the homeless sleeping under bridges, on side walks and in doorways.

Who is responsible for this? Liberals. Radical leftists. The same idiots who are destroying the educational systems, the criminal justice systems and the country. How many more atrocities will these liberal idiots be permitted to subject the nation to before we wake up?

“The victims have Hispanic last names. Why aren’t you asking whether they’re “ILLEGAL ALIENS” too?”

Maybe because they weren’t drunk,crazy or going around killing innocent people?

Schizophrenic - but he had the presence of mind to clean himself up - with bleach - after the attack.
