Tigermike 3,055 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Burglars Shot by Neighbor May Be Part of Larger Colombian Gang The two men Joe Horn shot and killed as they emerged after robbing his neighbor's home, may be linked to an illegal alien gun-running Colombian gang. Aren't we shocked. DPS was watching burglars shot by Horn By Rucks Russell / 11 News Even before their deaths prompted a series of heated debates about the use of deadly force, detectives at the Department of Public Safety had their eye on Diego Ortiz and Miguel Dejesus. The two were shot and killed by Joe Horn, a Pasadena man who thought they were burglarizing his neighbor’s home last month. According to a DPS memo obtained by 11 News, the department was investigating the use of Puerto Rican birth certificates by Colombians seeking to obtain Texas driver’s licenses. Both Ortiz and Dejesus had applied for licenses. Dejesus listed his country of origin as Puerto Rico, but both men were Colombian. Apparently, the DPS is investigating hundreds of immigrants who may have used illegal papers to get Texas licenses. But that’s not all. A much wider probe has been launched into an organized syndicate of Colombians who are engaged in illegal weapons sales and home break-ins – just like the one Ortiz and Dejesus were involved in last month in Pasadena. That day, Joe Horn and a shotgun stood in the way of the suspected thieves, but in many instances the suspects have gotten away. The ATF, ICE and DPS have reportedly formed a task force to bring the crime wave to an end. The burglars are said to be very effective at what they do, conducting extensive surveillance on their targets before striking. Some of the suspects are extremely violent. The investigations have already led to several arrests. http://www.khou.com/news/local/stories/kho...s.69d89aae.html Yeah, let's just open that border right up. It would not only please the president and every dem in congress, but it sure would make life easier for those gun-running, drug-dealing Colombians.

AURaptor 1,126 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 We seem to be real good at keeping records of illegals, but not about doing a damn thing to 'em when they committ crime after crime after crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
