Bad choice

Posted by David Hardy · 22 September 2007 02:41 PM

These robbers indeed picked the wrong pregnant woman.

Incidentally, you may note one of them was an illegal alien, who'd been charged with burglary previously, got probation and accepted "voluntary return." I.e., he wasn't deported, just signed a paper agreeing to return and was bussed back to the border. That was on Monday: on Thursday he's in Mesa, about 180 miles north of the border, and back into action.

[Update: yes, lucky she moved out of Chicago. If the Mesa PD is anything like the Tucson PD or Pima County Sheriff's Office, they probably told her to ditch the knife and get a gun, offered to put her in touch with their favorite dealer, and gave her a pitch on how easy it is to get a concealed carry permit. I once got stopped for speeding, politely offered the officer the .45 I had in the glove compartment, and he gave me a pitch for getting a CCW permit -- it's so easy and cheap -- so that I could carry it concealed anywhere and wouldn't have to leave it in the car where it might get stolen.]

But notice that Del Hoyo has been turned loose from the hospital, and at least in this report it is unknown whether he is in custody.

Part of the inability to deal with these illegals is that we don't deal properly the first time, so that ICE and law enforcement has to deal with the same bad actors over and over.

Del Hoyo had his free bite at the apple...he should have been looking at a long prison term this time around.

She grew up in Chicago where the police tell you to not fight back yet she gets commended for fighting back by the local Chief.
Says a lot about Chicago.

A Phoenix police officer was killed this week by an illegal alien who had been deported last year.

He ought to be popular in jail - big tough guy ran away from a pregnant lady with a knife. Good for her! He didn't look messed up enough for my taste. These creeps need to be deported -to the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
