haylie criske wrote on June 28, 2009 02:57 PM: this man was my dad and i am soooo mad at the driver but just because he happens to be mexican everyone turns into some racist people. my dad died a christian and i know he is in a better place and i will see him again it doesnt mean i dont miss him i love my dad and so do my brother and sister but we dont suddenly hate mexicans. ok its kinda sad that a 13 year old girl has to tell you to grow up. life has times like this but its life and it takes time to forgive people for the wrong they did to you but i belive god would want me to forgive that man and so would my dad. with me i take forever to forgive but i know its what i have to do. my dad loved us and knowing that he died doing somthing he loved makes it so much easyer. thats one way i want to die doing one of the things i love most. just everyone please stop blaming the whole race they didnt do anything wrong that one man did

Joe C wrote on June 24, 2009 10:26 AM: I always wonder if those with Hispanic/Latino names are here illegally or anchor babies, meaning this death could have been avoided if laws were enforced.

The problem is media will not report these details so others are accused of racial profiling.
Despite the fact the huge vast majority of illegals are Hispanic/Latino and from Mexico.

The tactic of yelling profiling has allowed criminals to hide in plan sight.
This very successful tactic, like anchor babies is used to circumvent immigration laws.
Until media discloses the legal or illegal status. We will always be asking these questions toward the biggest group that is violating our immigration laws; and the problems, crimes that can accompany this issue.

They need a postivie ID on a victim wrote on June 24, 2009 09:35 AM: @VegasSmitty

They need a positive ID before announcing the name of a deceased person. You can't go off a drivers license - whose to say it was the deceased man's license? Or it is even his wallet? Remember the mix up of Whitney Cerak & Laura VanRyn? That happened because they identified the body from a purse that was near her and witnesses statements - and they were all wrong. They didn't perform a scientific identification (DNA or dental records). The families suffered terribly because of a wrong ID. Better to wait and confirm it scientifically then rush and be wrong.

Your an A@*..

Just maybe, just MAYBE, if it was your family member you would not like to hear it on the news when you are driving home from work, etc..
