Based on the way he spells his first name (a misspelled Spanish name) and his middle name I am betting that he is Amish.
Odd last name given his first two. We can prolly rule him out as an illegal. Nonetheless, he’s still a killer.
This ain't no first offense.
Damned! he looks just like Obama’s son would if he had one.
Or does he have Al Sharpton’s hair? Daddy!
Guess he’s another good boy working his way thru college like Michael Browne.
Please....
And what’s the “no injuries” bit?
A license can be suspended for ANY (computer anywhere in the U.S.)reason...questionable ticket ....supposedly unpaid fine from anywhere USA...on the network...I experienced this...while on active duty..
JOAQUIN RAMONE Bell. A black Hispanic.
drunk macho hispanic hit and run. wonder what relative’s birthday or quinceneros he was driving home from.
I copied the spelling of the name from the Orange County Register. Other sources (LA Times, NY Daily News) have the standard spelling for the name.
revolving door justice ain't cutting it...
He will be charged with murder, in my opinion.
