don't think that terrorist can sneak in the same way? Do people sleep better thinking that only 'Mexicans' sneak into the US?
As a nation we are extremely vulnerable. We are not secure, nor are we protected. Yet on the news we feed information to terrorist all the time. This branch of the armed forces is doing 'blah'. We have developed 'blah' technology.
Don't you think it is about time we concentrate on what is really important and leave Jose and his family alone?
Answer
Another tragic addition to the list of unnessary deaths caused by
violent illegal aliens was the newlywed couple, James and Emilia Lee
of Huachuca City, Arizona, who had been married only six weeks. They
were killed Oct. 16 when a truckload of at least 17 illegal aliens
traveling at 90 mph crashed into several vehicles near the town of
Sierra Vista, leaving a horrific scene of carnage. The aliens were
trying to escape police after they had run a stop sign, and the truck
rammed into a line of nine vehicles waiting for a turn light near Fort
Huachuca.

James was 75 and his new bride Emilia was 71. The couple had been
planning a fishing trip to Mexico with Joe and other relatives. Both
James and Emilia were known as neighborly, never hesitating to reach
out to help. James often helped out when someone needed a home repair
done, and Emilia was an active volunteer for her church. Nearly 300
friends and family attended the services for the Lees held Oct. 21.
Topeka â When Victor Anzua-Torres asked the family of Ryan Ostendorf, the man he killed, for forgiveness, Ryanâs father turned his back.
âHe has no right to speak to me,â Robert Ostendorf said later.
Anzua-Torres, 29, was sentenced Thursday to prison for 13 years and nine months for driving drunk and crashing his car into one driven by Ryan Ostendorf, who was 28, a paramedic and Kansas University student who dreamed of being a doctor.
The sentencing capped an emotional hearing where Ryanâs family, friends and co-workers spoke about his compassion, helpfulness and bright future, and how Anzua-Torresâ actions wrecked the lives of many.
The crash occurred the night of Dec. 5, 2005, on U.S. Highway 40 near Shawnee Heights Road.
Ostendorf was driving to work at American Medical Response. Many of his co-workers responded to the accident, rendering aid to Anzua-Torres and others at the scene.
âAn enormous holeâ
Anzua-Torres had a blood-alcohol level of 0.26 percent, more than three times the legal limit of 0.08, authorities said. He had no driverâs license, had a prior drunken-driving arrest and had been deported as an illegal immigrant once before.
He was driving a Cadillac Escalade east in the westbound lane when he struck Ostendorfâs Jeep Cherokee.
âMy family has an enormous hole where Ryanâs life ought to be,â said Ryanâs mother, Jo Ann Ostendorf, of Gothenburg, Neb.
She wore Ryanâs lab coat from KU as she spoke in the Shawnee County courtroom.
She said Ryan was a biology student at KU and planned on being a cardiologist.
âHe wanted to mend broken hearts and he died of one,â she said, adding that KU granted him a degree after his death. The mother said she would miss her sonâs bear hugs and smile. âI will never hear him say, âI love you Mama.ââ
Meagan Kennedy, Ryanâs fiancé who also is a paramedic, said Ryan was her âsoul mate and love of my life.â
âYou left all of us with holes in our hearts that can never be filled,â she said to Anzua-Torres.
Anzua-Torres frequently looked down during the statements, sometimes dabbing tears from his eyes as an interpreter translated for him.
Speaking through the interpreter, Anzua-Torres asked the family to forgive him and said he felt remorse for Ryanâs death.
âI never wanted this to happen,â he said, sometimes reading from a handwritten sheet of notebook paper. âI ask forgiveness with all my heart for the pain I have caused.â
Maximum penalty
Shawnee County Assistant Dist. Atty. Karen Wittman sought the maximum penalty for Anzua-Torres.
âHe set out to hurt somebody that night,â she said. A friend had tried to drive, but although Anzua-Torres was drunk, he demanded that he drive to show everyone how âbadâ he was, she said.
âOn that day, you canât get any more selfish than what he was,â she said.
Shawnee County District Court Judge Nancy Parrish sentenced Anzua-Torres to the maximum for the reckless second-degree murder charge: 11 years and six months.
The remaining time on his sentence was due to additional charges related to the incident including driving under the influence and not having a driverâs license.
Parrish ordered the sentences to run consecutively. Earlier, Anzua-Torresâ public defender, Richard Jones, requested that the sentences for the various offenses run at the same time.
But Parrish declined.
âYou have really exhibited a flagrant disregard of our laws,â she told Anzua-Torres.
She noted he had ignored an order to receive treatment after his previous drunken-driving conviction. He also had been deported in 2000 and been arrested for several other offenses, including possession of drug paraphernalia.
After the hearing, Jo Ann Ostendorf said she appreciated that Parrish gave Anzua-Torres the maximum sentence on the murder charge, but added, âFor my sonâs life, it is not enough.â
Jose Ramirez is every American father's nightmare. The illegal alien from El Salvador beat up a 15-year-old girl after whistling at her. He broke her nose, fractured a bone in her face and produced cuts requring 30 stitches. The man worked in construction in Spotsylvania, Virginia, where the attack occurred, and resisted arrest to the point where police had to taser him. The 28-year-old Ramirez of Prince William County was charged with aggravated malicious wounding and abduction with the intent to defile. Both charges carry potential life sentences. He is being held with no bond.
How do I build a DIY humane mouse trap to catch a pet mouse in a car?
bw_soto
My pet mouse escaped from his box in my car, a 2004 Chevy Classic. I have had no luck attempting to catch him. I know he is still there as I have set food aside for him to eat, and its been nibbled at or gone. I would like to make sure my mouse lives. Any suggestions from anyone else that has experienced a similar situation??
Answer
i don't recommend building a mouse trap, there is no guarantee that it will be a humane trap. there are a few humane traps out there, one that works really great is the tomcat multi-catch. it's grey with a clear panel so you can see if you caught something, and it comfortably holds up to 10 mice. i got mine at walmart, but they don't always have it. try a feed store maybe, or order online. pretty much every other humane mousetrap is either not attractive enough to make the mouse enter it, or they can get out too easily.
it's pretty bad news that your mouse is loose in the car. they are so small, they can get through pretty much any opening. they can do a fair bit of damage, or they could get caught in the engine while you are driving and burn.
since this is a pet mouse, it may be slightly easier to retrieve your little pal than if it was a wild one. did he have any favorite toys to hide in? my mice used to have this tennis ball with a hole cut out of it, i could hardly get them out of it. you could take the toy, add some of his old bedding material and a snack or two, and just wait up for him one night. leave it in your car in the same spot you left the food before, keep the car dark, and when you hear chewing sounds, aim a flashlight at the toy to keep him from coming out (the light will scare him a little).
if you don't have a little mouse toy like this, maybe use an aquarium with an open top. set a ramp/ladder up against the side of the aquarium so he can climb up. have some bedding material in the aquarium and some food and a water bottle, so it looks and smells like home. he can probably jump out, though, so you should stay up and wait; when he goes in, put a cover on it.
good luck.
