Manuel Caza, Illegal Immigrant / Murderer
I was looking at The Drudge Report today and I found some news from the Show Me State. I wish I could say it was good news, positive news, but sadly it is not.
The AP story that Drudge linked to happens to occur in Hannibal, Missouri, the hometown of Mark Twain, whose writings represented a little slice of Americana, now Hannibal merely represents typical news from a country that is quickly turning itself into a third world nation.
The AP reports:
" HANNIBAL, Mo. (AP) - A Hannibal police officer was finishing up mundane paperwork on a quiet Saturday morning when Manuel Cazares walked into the station, blood splattered on his hands and shoes.
Cazares put his hands out, crossed them, and told the officer to arrest him.
"I killed two people," he allegedly said.
Details surrounding the allegations are far too common: an abusive relationship, a jilted lover, a sudden attack.
But some in this Mississippi River community of 17,000 best known as Mark Twain's hometown aren't just outraged by the violence. They also question why Cazares was in Hannibal at all.
Cazares admitted after his arrest that he is an illegal immigrant from Mexico. The 32-year-old had several run-ins with law enforcement before the homicides, but officials had never questioned his legal status.
Now he is charged with two counts of second-degree murder and armed criminal action in the Feb. 28 deaths of his ex-girlfriend, 27-year-old Amanda Thomas, and 25-year-old Carl Patrick Epley. "
Gee what a noble thing for this criminal to do, turn himself in , maybe if the police had done their job, they would've checked his immigration status during the previous times he had been arrested.
