Outrage DuJour
The prosecutor in this case should be the one getting beaten in prison. And shame on the president and the governor of this state for letting this happen. The fact that they didn’t pardon these men is a huge disgrace.
A former U.S. Border Patrol agent who was convicted of shooting a drug smuggling suspect and then lying about it was beaten by fellow inmates in prison, his relatives and a congressman said Tuesday.
Prison officials did not immediately confirm that Ignacio Ramos had been attacked.
The convictions of Ramos and fellow former agent Jose Alonso Compean sparked outcry from critics who argued that the men were merely doing their job defending the border against criminals.
U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., a vocal supporter of the agents and opponent of illegal immigration, criticized the Bush administration Tuesday for failing to protect Ramos and demanded a full presidential pardon for the two men.
“Not only did the administration choose the side of a foreign dope runner over the agents who stopped him from smuggling a load of drugs into the county _ now they’ve failed to protect that agent while his case is on appeal,” he said in a statement.
Ramos and Compean, who reported to prison in January, were each sentenced to more than a decade behind bars. Ramos is being held at a medium- and low-security federal facility at Yazoo City, Miss. Compean is serving his sentence at the Elkton Federal Correctional Institution in Ohio; no problems have been reported with his detention.
It’s a disgrace. They even gave the drug smugger (who was a big-time guy, well-known and bringing in hundreds of pounds) immunity in exchange for testifying against the agents.
Just another sign of the End Times for the USA.Posted by on 02/06 at 08:36 PMToren, I agree 100%. I heard this scum drug smuggler has been caught again bringing in drugs since this whole affair came down. PC is going to cause our death and we’re being ushered to the gallows by the lawyers, the judges and the politicians. Our soldiers, border patrol & police have all had their hands tied thus we are handing our country over to the terrorists & lawbreakers. And boy, do they KNOW it!! We need a more savage nation!!
