“Cheap” labor for agri-business =Expensive trials and incarceration for taxpayers
For a moment I thought it was those pesky Amish. Then how fast a get away with a horse and buggy.
How long before the ACLU goes after this program?
Several thoughts: I am glad Deleon has found God; the attorneys can keep their rage - nobody cares what they think; and don’t count on a client getting less time for shooting someone in the head - the Judge isn’t screwing around with these guys.
I was born in Yakima.....it’s become a pit....
Another imposition on the taxpayers. Punishment should be we catapult him into shark infested waters and see if he sinks or swims.
And he has a good point but the solution is more time for the head shooters, not less time for this criminal.
If we were serious about crime anyone attempting murder would be hanged. Instead, we have to add on other charges just to keep them behind bars much less dead. All predators should be put to death.
Another Obama voter gone!
Another interesting story in the Yak Herald:
Anti-gang bill supporters talking race now
YAKIMA, Wash. — Now the anti-gang bill supporters are addressing the racial issue.
The state Attorney Generals office said in a statement Friday that most victims of criminal street gang violence are minorities, and that House Bill 1126 is intended to help them, just like everyone else.
“We think those victims matter,” said spokesman Dan Sytman in an e-mail response to a news release from the Stop Racial Profiling Now! Coalition, a collection of 23 civil rights groups that fear portions of the bill would disproportionately affect people of color.
The suggested laws, sponsored by Rep. Charles Ross, R-Naches at the request of the Attorney General, would among other things allow police and prosecutors to seek civil protection orders, sometimes called injunctions, against identified gang members from doing otherwise legal activities like drinking, carrying guns, hanging out with other gang members and wearing certain clothing in specified neighborhoods. The orders would have to be approved by a judge.

We need to have harsh punishment for violent crimes, just look at Mexico, they have failed to do so. It’s a bloodbath.
The higher sentence only means that the taxpayers will spend more to house Moreno, Alford said."... The citizenry should not be punished," he said.
Okay mr lawyer. Then how about he just gets 4 hours in 'the time out chair'. And they send him home with a puppy.
Would that be okay with you?
I agree with the sentence. This guy is a walking human time bomb and he was given numerous chances to reform. He failed all of them! Let’s not see him spend another day on the lam waiting to kill someone else in a drive-by.
He’ll be 113 when he gets out. what’s the expense of upkeep.?
I have no love for gangs and those who run with them, better to cap him, save the dough for something worthy of it.
That's why I support the death penalty.....
They were accused of opening fire on three gang rivals standing in their Tacoma Avenue yard waiting to go to a quinceanera.
I find it unfortunate that the Yakima Herald Republic apparently feels that the majority of their readership is Hispanic or from Latin America, and so does not need to bother translating and defining this Spanish language cultural term for their few remaining Gringo readers. I had to look it up elsewhere in order to learn what it means.

Congratulations and thanks to the Judge and Prosecutors for putting this trash away; I only hope that he won't be paroled early
