This is America - Honoring convicted felons on the 4th of July

This is America! Where convicted felons, liars and cowards both are hailed as heroes by those who disguise their xenophobia and bigotry by referring to themselves as “Patriots”! Former Border Patrol Agents and convicted felons Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean are being honored at a Fourth of July BBQ and parade in Southern California, at Camp Vigilence, owned by the radical extremist group Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. Security is being provided by the armed extremist group “Border Patrol Auxiliary”! The events have the endorsement of amongst others, Barbara “Mexican’s are savages” Coe, founder of the hate group CA Coalition for ….Read More

Supreme Court rebuffs Ramos and Compean - And that is, the rest of the story!

Now that the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld the convictions (with a small adjustment) of Ramos And Compean and the Supreme Court has refused to hear the case, perhaps people will begin to see these two for what they are. They’re not criminals in the sense that we see criminals, but they did knowingly break the law and with the commutation, received appropriate sentences, but they remain two convicted felons, rightfully so. Their stupidity lead to their being charged and convicted. And probably without any willful criminal intent in the beginning. But they are not “Brave Patriotic Americans”. ….Read More

Former U.S. border patrol agents and now convicted felons Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean were released from prison Tuesday, but will remain in a community confinement program until March 20, U.S. Bureau of Prison officials said. The two agents had been in prison since 2007. President George W. Bush commuted their sentences before he left office. Traci Billingsley, bureau of prisons spokeswoman, said Tuesday that the two men are out of prison and under the “supervision of the community corrections office for a period of community confinement.” Community confinement means the sentenced person has to spend the last phrase of ….Read More

Bush commutes sentences of Ramos and Compean

In a move not unexpected, President Bush today commuted the sentences of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. Their sentences will now expire on March 20 of this year Bush has been cautious in his use of pardon powers, and particularly careful when it comes to commutations of prison terms. A pardon is an official forgiveness of a crime (typically requested at least five years after the completion of a prison term); a commutation is a reduction of sentence. Already though, supporters are fighting one another to take credit for the commutation. The credit though goes to George Bush and nobody ….Read More

Why Ramos and Compean Should NOT be Pardoned

As you know, I’ve followed the case of Jose Compean and Ignacio Ramos from the gitgo and my opinion, as I have stated here many times has not changed. As my email has been flooded with links to people DEMANDING pardons for these two, and my disgust at the stupidity of these people rises, I sat here contemplating how to put in my dos centavos. But someone else has taken the words from my mind and put them on the web. I’m going to use his words en todo, because I could not have said it better. With full credit ….Read More

Ramos and Compean lose once again before the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals

Convicted Felons and former Border Patrol agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean lost another appeal Thursday. The U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans refused to reconsider the ruling a three-judge panel had issued in late July that affirmed most of the charges against Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean. The men shot Osvaldo Aldrete Davila of Mexico, hitting the unarmed smuggler in the buttocks after he abandoned a load of marijuana and ran across the border into Mexico. The agents said they fired because they thought he had a gun in his hand, but were sent to ….Read More

Push to free convicted felons Ramos and Compean renewed

An interesting and neutral article regarding the renewed attempts to free convicted felons Ramos and Compean appeared in todays San Antonio Express News The article confirms what I have said all along here about the involvement of Ignacio Ramos’ father in law in successfully having this case tried in the court of public opinion which did nothing to help the cause of justice and quit possibly pissed the Federal Court off enough where the jurors and the Court had little sympathy for these two criminals.

Osvaldo Aldrete Davila sentenced for 2005 smuggling incidentb

EL PASO – Osvaldo Aldrete Davila was sentenced to 9 1/2 years Wednesday for smuggling more than 100 kilos of marijuana in 2005.

OF course the ….Read More

Tancredo using death of Border Patrol agent to push agenda

Tancredo should be ashamed of using the death of this agent to push forward his on short sighted agenda. At least he’s out of the field for the White House. Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson also.
