PT's Randomness

    I cause I spoke too soon when I welcomed common sense to the party over on Randomness Without Ritalin. The Georgia Attorney General, Thurbert Baker, has said that he will appeal the decision. Who does Thurbert Baker think he is? I seriously doubt that the people of Georgia wanted their money spent prosecuting Genarlow Wilson in the first place. How do stupid prosecutors like this guy and Johnny Sutton look at themselves in the mirror each morning? I am sure they laugh all the way to the bank where they deposit your money. Talk about a great rate of return.


Great article from ESPN from awhile ago

    Mexico continued its winning streak in U.S. courts with the conviction of Gilmer Hernandez back in December. Monday, Hernandez, a Sheriff's Deputy, was sentenced to a year and a day in jail andwas also ordered to pay $5,347 to the "victim" and a $5,000 fine. His crime? Shooting at the tires of a Suburban carrying illegals immigrants after the vehicle had tried to hit him during a traffic stop. An initial investigation cleared the deputy, but the Federal Government opened another investigation after talking to the illegals in the van, according to the Washington Times. The Federal Government had recommended a seven-year sentence for Hernandez, who leaves a wife and seven-month old daughter at home.

Hernandez stopped the vehicle after it ran a red light on the night of April 14, 2005. When he went to question the driver, he noticed that the passengers in the vehicle were crouched down. He then asked for identification and the vehicle took off, swerving towards him as it fled. He drew his firearm and shot 2 times at each rear tire. Further down the road, when the Suburban crashed, 8 or 9 illegals fled. The "victim" was found crouched in the back cargo area of the vehicle. A fragment from either the bullet or the vehicle had clipped her lip and broke two teeth. Gilmer Hernandez was convicted of violating her civil rights by "recklessly" shooting at the vehicle. The woman reported that she paid about $2,000 to be smuggled in in that Suburban.

Jeez, just think when all the illegals figure out they can turn jumping the border into a profitable venture.

    Much like one would question how much a referee is making off the opposing team, I question how much Johnny Sutton's office is making off of Mexico? First, the Mexican Consulate encouraged the prosecution of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. Now it comes out that they also had a say in the prosecution of Gilmer Hernandez.

    Nice blog post here about how Johnny Sutton's office is on a mission to handcuff men protecting our borders. Points out Ramos/Compean case, as well as the case of Gilmer Hernandez

    World Net Daily just posted a story about how a Department of Homeland Security memo indicates that two supervisors were on the scene when the BP2 shooting took place. Link. So if Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean committed the horrible sin of not filing a report, what about the two supervisors?

    Ignacio Ramos, one of the Border Patrol 2, celebrated his 38th birthday recently in federal prison. Did he get to talk to his three sons on his birthday? No. You want to know how he celebrated it? With bruises caused by getting jumped in prison by a group of inmates. How's that for a birthday present?

    Monica Ramos, the wife of Ignacio Ramos, has started a blog through Grassfire.org's new FireSociety. Her first post talks about how both her husband and Jose Compean have been moved to prisons out of state. Ignacio Ramos is in the general population at the prison. I imagine he is almost more of a target than that ex-guard from Prison Break

    Former Border Patrol Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean are scheduled to report to jail tomorrow to serve 11 and 12 years respectively. This is a gross injustice. This blog has covered the story several times, but you can read more here.
    I called both Senator Bond's office and Senator McCaskill's office today looking to voice my opinion on the issue. The representative for Sen. Bond would only say "Sen. Bond has not issued a statement on the matter" I asked if he planned to, considering the agents are scheduled to report to jail tomorrow. She again repeated her canned response. My call to Sen. McCaskill's office resulted in me speaking to a machine and it telling me someone would call me back.
    President Bush issued 16 pardons last month. He has issued 58 during his Presidency. Former President Clinton issued 396 in his 8 years in office.

    I don't understand why action hasn't been taken yet by Washington to pardon the two former Border Patrol agents yet. How many Congressmen need to sign on before something is done and common sense can win?
