thin of the crime he committed agaisnt the mother of his children, i have no pity for him

Whatever, Not only mexicans do this things.. Please keep you mouth shut and dont single them out

Oh please! The vast majority of the time that you see a story like this the people involved are WHITE! I guess some people only see the criminals they *want* to see.

This is not only Mexicans, please dont single them out, because this is not true!

I hate to tell people living outside of California, but since the illegal, illegal alien invasion of California, this is not a rare incident. It happens in one form or other, all the time, and the criminals who are involved always head to Mexico. Mexico is a kind of Shang-ri-la for criminals.
