Both of the adults who are accused of this crime have criminal records and are illegal aliens. If they had been held in jail to await their trial date, they wouldn't have been on the streets to commit these crimes. If Newark had enforced the law, instead of deciding it didn't need to, these three might still be alive.Andy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03659445086323172664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35366449.post-10099472866201112722007-08-21T10:36:00.000-05:002007-08-21T10:36:00.000-05:00The fact is that news like this, is just not shock...The fact is that news like this, is just not shocking enough anymore for mainstream American media. I am not a US citizen but visit often on business and find news channels and media amusing with their coverage of car chases and shoot outs. Its every stereotypical view of the US that world holds. The real issues are always buried deep if at all. Everything has to be a soundbite or visual snippet and executions like this whilst would have made major headlines in any European city, yet fail to make the grade in the US. Its not that the US is more violent (although it probably is) its just different levels of media reporting. Different levels of tolerance in society. <BR/><BR/>News media in the US has become too slick and too ratings driven instead of reporting the actual news. <BR/><BR/>Its nigh on impossible to stop events like these murders from happening no matter what the background of the suspects involved, there are too many people in the system and not enough watchers. Democracy will always ensure that people like this can offend and re-offend at will. Its the same the world over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35366449.post-26902810986567087932007-08-21T05:53:00.000-05:002007-08-21T05:53:00.000-05:00Andy, I agree with you on how outrageous it is tha...Andy, I agree with you on how outrageous it is that something like this happened. These murders could have easily been prevented had those involved in our justice system not failed us. <BR/><BR/>I find it even more outrageous that the mainstream media is not reporting all the facts on this tragic event. It's really a shame that their liberal agenda is more important than the lives of the murdered children. I'm not sure why the media is trying to make a Democrat vs. Republican issue out of immigration, it's an American issue, as shown by the executions in Newark.Kramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853623365621178894noreply@blogger.com
