They finally caught the scumbag(s) who shot, execution style, three Newark, NJ teenagers in cold blood. Unfortunately, no information as far as motives are coming to light yet, but authorities are ruling out gang activity. Given the backgrounds of the four who were shot, it seems reasonable that this is just a particularly heinous act of savagery.
UPDATE: Longhorn links to another story on this at nj.com:
During the proceedings, Larchire Carranza’s lawyer, Felix Lopex-Montalvo, said the defendant is an illegal immigrant from Peru.
“My client has no documentation,” said the lawyer, Felix Lopez-Montalvo.
In a news conference after the arraignment, Essex County Prosecutor Paula Dow and other officials would not comment on reporters’ repeated questions about whether prosecutors had reported Larchire Carranza’s illegal status to federal authorities after his two previous arrests, which included a charge of child rape.
Sweet Jesus, this guy should have been deported after his first arrest! Â Yet people like Bryan Miller use these incidents to call for further controls on guns, rather than further controls on criminals, especially illegal immigrant criminals who commit crimes, and ought to have been deported.
People like Bryan want to make sure you cannot protect yourself from these sociopaths.  If the government isn’t protecting us, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask tough questions of those who want to restrict the tools that allow for effective self-defense. It certainly did nothing to stop this illegal immigrant, already prohibited from purchasing or possessing firearms, from getting one, and committing an unspeakable act of violence.
Jose Carranza an illegal immigrant from Peru was out on bail for aggravated assault, wepons charges and rape of a 5 year old!

NJ is a death penalty state in the law but hasn’t executed anyone since 1976. If there was ever a case for an expedited execution, this is it.
And the shocker, he is an illegal.
Even if Jersey doesn’t fry the scum bag, there will be a place reserved for him in hell.
I hope the folks fighting illegal immigration use this guy as a poster child for why we need to start enforcing Federal immigration laws. And then use him and other like him to nail anyone who supported the illegal amnesty bill to the wall come next November.
Our government has lost all pretext of being on our side. Lets face it neither of the elected branches has an approval rating over 25%. The government will not protect us. Will not close the borders. and will not send the illegal invaders home.
If the government won’t do it eventually the people will have to.

I’m game. When do we start? While we’re at it, lets round up and deport the elected a-holes who’ve either done nothing about illegals and/or have supported them.
