Frankly, I am sick of this sort of thing. It's long past time to enforce the law. What we have here is unequal protection under the law, and a total failure to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. (See the preamble to the US Constitution.)

Application of 287(g) as practiced in Herndon could have prevented this needless killing. People, it is time to get real.

The other day the news said his first offense was threatening some kids with a knife. Here's a hint law enforcement: If someone commits a violent crime, you do not let them go if you can't identify them. No charge for this hint. Feel free to use it in the future.

I'm sure they're far too busy using radar guns on people going 10mph over the limit.

That 'raid' at Jimmy's (it was a few years ago) was really odd. Fairfax County police came into Herndon police jurisdiction because they got a complaint about an intoxicated woman.

Our government enforces what it pleases. And the result is not good. Not only were we flooded with overcrowded homes (until the citizens hit the roof, and the government reluctantly began to enforce those laws), but we have people getting hit and dragged to their deaths, and a teenage honor student getting shot and killed on a bus like this incident in Maryland, etc. And a few governments such as Fairfax County and up in Maryland, etc, continue blatantly to fail to enforce many laws where illegal immigration is involved.

When will we learn the lesson? When we look the other way, bad things happen.

You know something that has been p*ssing me off, a LOT, over this is the news is referring to him as an "illegal alien" instead of their standard "undocumented immigrant". You can't have it both ways.

That is interesting. What news media is that - the Washington Post, TV news, etc? I have not followed the reporting since I noted this case.

If the general news media is starting to report blatant illegal status in its crime reports, then something has definitely changed. And if that is true, it bodes well for the upcoming special election to replace Fairfax County's anti-enforcement Chairman Connolly, who just rode Mr. Obama's coattails to victory in his Congressional bid.

From what I have seen, I favor Patrick Herrity over Sharon Bulova for Fairfax County BOS Chairman.
Vienna Connection - Bulova To Run For Chairman - Republican Herrity may also throw his hat into the ring.

And, of course, Herrity is the one that HelpSaveHerndon called in to "chair" their meeting a few weeks ago.

If that means anything........

Yep. Unlike Bulova, Herrity is pro-enforcement. Having a pro-enforcement BOS Chairman would indeed be a much needed change in Fairfax County.
