Greetings Gentle Readers from a new Blog Site.....MySpace, where I have posted blogs for years has created "New MySpace" and no longer has room for blogs or games, the only 2 reasons I was a member of that antiquated "social networking site" so now I am here.
But to attend to the subject at hand, being a potential juror on a murder case with the two suspects being members of MS-13, one of the most vicious gangs in the USA...Salvadorans, Central American in ancestry and without any sort of morals, empathy, sympathy, to anyone other than their fellow gang members. I followed closely the case of Edwin? Eduardo? Edmundo? Edgar? Ramos, a lovely guy who killed a father and his son coming home from a baseball game and mistaking them for members of a rival gang.....Ramos smiled throughout his trial and his lawyer explained that this was a "nervous habit" of his......I don't think so, the guy was a sociopath, psychopath, nutso-fruitcake and belonged behind bars for the rest of his natural life.
So I am a prospective juror in the case of the people against Rivera and Aguilera....I didn't look up the story online until AFTER I was excused from the jury but here is the case: http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/2-S-F-juveniles-charged-as-adults-with-murder-3262155.php
The two defendants, who committed the crime as juveniles and who are now adults, were a piece of work....both with long greasy ponytails, wearing shirts given them by their lawyers.....Rivera made a "reasonable" presentation, but Aguilera, when asked by his lawyer to say "hello" to the jury pool, made a minimum effort to turn his head and that was it.....He was a scary looking guy for someone who appeared to be 5 feet tall and 90 pounds.....I guess that's why those little guys stick together to get strength in numbers.
When I filled out my questionnaire for the lawyers, I wrote about the Ramos trial and I wrote that I think members of MS-13 belong behind bars, etc.....but to my surprise, my questionnaire was not as negative as some people's......the defense attorney said, "I see in your questionnaire that you call all gang members "scum bags".....".
If you read the article about this crime, Gentle Readers, you will read about two young men who belong either deported back to Central American where they can pursue their activities, or in jail here, for the rest of their natural lives after being castrated or at least, being forced to have a vasectomy, to prevent their reproducing their kind.....
scumbags, disgusting scumbags.
