Astorga and drunk driving?
I don't believe it.

Killing someone while drunk is still looked at as some simple mistake.
That's like shooting a gun in the air.
You didn't think drinking might've killed someone?
It's never murder until someone you love is killed.
Life in prison without the possibility of parol, but you can have all the alcohol you want.

I have to agree...why is it that when you kill someone while drunk driving, they go easy on you because they say you did not set out to kill anyone. Well, if you are drinking and make the decision to get behind the wheel, then I think you do set out to kill someone. If you don't, then that's just luck. Drunk drivers that kill should get harsher sentences. That famil will never be the same but for Jesse Astorga, he goes to jail for a while, pays a fine and his life is back to usual...set loose to do it again.

JEEZ !! What do we have to do to stop this? Mr. Astorga (Thank you Prop 40) was running from a previous accident when he killed this child. It's almost as if railing against these drivers does no good. Hispanic, running from the scene (why?) and leaving devastation behind. This has to stop. It's unacceptable!
I suppose the only solution is going to be an all-out race riot since Tony V and all of the other sympathizers want to open up our arms to embrace the garbage.

You are preaching to the converted! I would buy a lottery ticket to have the chance to pull the trigger on this P.O.S. A few good public executions on these sub-species and the problems might start to improve slightly.

I live near the scene, and I don't think this **** is an illegal. He's had prior speeding arrests and the car was registerd to him.

I hope he is Legal, then we can deal with his **** in OUR courts.

I've always said the same thing. There has been enough education about the hazards of drinking and driving. I feel that if you get drunk, get behind the wheel and hurt someone, it should be attempted pre-meditated murder. If you kill someone, it should be pre-meditated murder in the first degree. Non of this manslaughter crap.

No to illegal immigration. How do we get "The Birthright Citizenship Act of 2007 (H.R. 1940)" on the ballot in November 2008? This would mean no automatic citizenship to anchor babies.

Hang the brown piece of garbage on the American side of the border until he's dead. Then let the birds peck his eyes out and advanced decay set in. leave his stinking rotting corpse up there as a message to other filthy Mexican vermin.

In a world that it totally spinning out of control, I'm not surprised at the name calling and venomous comments being spewed towards this Hispanic man. I've also read posts calling the USC girl a ****, the 17 pregnant teens in Massachusetts were called white trash, and the kid who was recently decapitated was called a hood rat and a crack addict.

Every one of these news stories is sad, but the lack of compassion is even sadder.

I hope the drunk driver goes to jail; I hope the parents and their 1 year old baby heal physically and emotionally; I hope the USC student serves her time and uses birth control if she chooses to have sex; I hope the girls in MA finish school and get jobs to support their children; I hope the parents of the dead teen don't sue because the 17 year old clearly was at fault, but I also hope that the Lord has mercy on me and all of you...should we, or anyone we know and love, ever make one of the same mistakes.

Jesus said that in the last days, "..because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold." Matthew 24:12

HOW TRUE.
