OT: Colts' Edwin Jackson killed by drunk driver

[Sandan]

Nidan, you need to read this ^, perhaps it'll possibly make sense to you.

My response to this would get me a strike

Let me dumb it down for you, if he was driving sober the two men would still be alive today regardless of his immigration status.

If he were in jail for repeat DUI he would be in jail.

Let me dumb it down ... No let me add some facts, numbers and a little historical perspective [ as opposed 'lets find a way to attack people who disagree with me"

From the CDC website

"Every day, 28 people in the United States die in motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver. This is one death every 51 minutes.1 The annual cost of alcohol-related crashes totals more than $44 billion"​

Now I'll dumb it down .. Are you saying that illegal immigrants are a significant % of that, if so provide some facts .. not right wing ideological demonizing.

Yes we fully understand why you want to blame all our woes on illegal immigrants. It is a simple and commonly used tactic.

1. Identify a sub group
2. Blame them for problems
3. Repeat and repeat until it becomes used by as many people as you can con
4. Use this as a justification for dramatic authoritarian action, now seen as strong and justified
5. Label opposition as weak or soft [labels over simplify and make it easier to attack people]
6. Rinse repeat

You should take these words from a Pastor to heart

"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.​

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

"'Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it."

OK. I'll dumb it down for you. This guy came into this country illegally. Got caught. Got kicked out. Came back illegally again, got caught again, got deported again. Came back illegally a 3rd time, got caught, got deported again. This time he comes back illegally again, drives drunk, and kills 2 people. Had he been made to stay out or even better, sent to prison for multiple violations of our immigration laws, these 2 men would be alive today. Funny, how like all leftists these days you're taking the side of the non-citizen over the citizen. This guy had no business being in our country and now 2 people are dead because of it. How this is lost on you is mindboggling. Typical but mindboggling nonetheless.

Do you really think I am too stupid to understand that or are you simply trying to start a fight ?

I don't see anyone trying to blame all of our woes on illegal immigrants, as you said. I see an everyday occurrence (death by DUI) being extra-tragic because the murderer is here illegally.
