Seven dead after being run over in front of Texas migrant shelter, say police

[rightwinger]

WTF is the matter with Texas?

 

[Missourian]

WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT CARS!!!

 

[Foul Owl]

We should just ban cars. A criminal would NEVER use a car without a license, insurance, or updated tags.

 

[Missourian]

So I guess that means licences should also be required to operate firearms.

Do you need a license to buy a car?

Not in this country...maybe yours.

Obviously we must close the craigslist loophole!!!

Only buy cars from the dealer with a universal background check!!!

 

[EvilCat Breath]

I don't get it. A bunch of invaders were killed. What did he do wrong?

Do you need a license to buy a car?

To operate one in public.

 

[Missourian]

We need a automobile secure storage law.

If you can't or won't secure your vehicle in a secured parking area, you will be charged with a crime.

 

[cnm]

license, insurance, or updated tags.

Yet I understand those things are mandated.

 

[cnm]

The list of vehicle regulations is long indeed.

 

[Missourian]

To operate one in public.

You can't operate a motor vehicle without a license?

Literally millions of illegal immigrants beg to differ...

Some Unlicensed Drivers Risk More Than a Fine (Published 2010)

At least 30,000 illegal immigrants stopped in traffic cases in the last three years have ended up in deportation.

Many unauthorized immigrants drive without a license. Under the Trump administration, they may increasingly be subject to detention after traffic stops.

Two tragedies in two days.

Way to go, Texas.

Texas didn't do it the driver did. And the victims are on Mayorkas.

I saw a home video camera video of the incident. It’s very hard to tell if the speeding SUV was intentionally going at the pedestrians. It is possible that the driver was speeding and merely lost control on a slightly wet looking road.

If alcohol or narcotics had been consumed by the driver prior to the early morning accident, then the result of the “accident” should definitely lead to serious criminal charges. Even if he was completely sober, though, he may have legitimate criminal liability.

"May have " ?????
Please explain just how the driver has no liability.
(No pun intended, but noted nonetheless)

Yet I understand those things are mandated.

For responsible car owners.

Newsflash...criminals who plan on killing people with their cars don't obey the law.

Sure. Accidents do happen. It looked to me like he had been speeding and lost control. That’s negligence but I don’t know if there is some mechanical issue with his vehicle. I don’t believe anyone yet knows. So his criminal liability, even if he was sober, isn’t a certainty.

 

[Failzero]

Driver is Hispanic.
Victims a bunch of Venezuelan illegals.
Looks intentional.
Pity.

Turf wars over El Norte ?

 

[Anathema]

Texas, come for the Sun, stay from the death.

If I could I’d move there in a minute.

"Data obtained by News4Jax from the Florida Highway Patrol show just over 13 percent of drivers in Duval, Clay and St. Johns counties are either driving with a suspended or revoked license, or no have license at all."

How many drivers illegally behind wheel?

Hundreds of thousands of drivers hit the road each day, but how many of those motorist are legally qualified to be behind the wheel?<br/><br/>Data obtained by News4Jax from the Florida Highway Patrol show just over 13 percent of drivers in Duval, Clay and St. Johns counties are either driving...

www.news4jax.com

If we use that 13% figure and apply it nationally...that is over 20 million drivers operating motor vehicles without a license.

Not exactly what I would call 'mandatory' to own or operate a vehicle.

Care to try again?

Obviously we need to crack down on legal, responsible car owners in order to do absolutely nothing to stop criminals from acquiring and using vehicles in mass killings.

 

[Missourian]

Besides...all the mass shooters PASS background checks.

Hispanics are on a major roll this week.
