    ...he was a "can't miss" player and was probably going to have a long career with the Cards...his GF was also killed in the crash.

    A terribly sad story. Looks like they just ended up going off a wet road in the DR.

    Tragic, Oscar had a promising future, sad......

    In Sacramento, this weekend, a Sacramento County PD, got into a gunfight with two Felons. 2 Officers lost their lives.

    Get this- one of the officers who was killed by a bullet, lost his life on the very same day his Dad had died in the line of duty, also victim of a bullet. 26 years prior.

    What's the odds of dying the same way your Father did, 26 years prior, on the Anniversay of their deaths.

    I think there's those people who would say, 'You know what, I wish you'd killed him,'" Placer County Sheriff Ed Bonner said at an evening news conference. "Now, that's not who we are. We are not him. We did our job."

    Bonner said Friday Davis would have been 43 on Wednesday. He leaves behind a wife and four children.

    The detective died 26 years to the day after his father, for whom he is named, died in the line of duty as a Riverside County deputy sheriff in Southern California.

    Flags at the state Capitol were ordered flown at half-staff and Gov. Jerry Brown issued a statement extending his sympathy to the families of the slain officers.

    Their "brutal murders," Brown said, "...are a tragic reminder of the sacrifices we demand of our peace officers and the incredible courage they display as they protect our communities."

    The slayings of the deputies was the single deadliest day for California law enforcement since February 2013.

    Re: the shootings.

    I've read that one of the skumbags has been deported TWICE and he managed to get back into OUR country.

    The other skumbag was described as a one man crime spree.
    I wonder how many more invaders from south of the border who the authorities haven't found or know about also fit that description.

    You just know...do the math...you have to believe there are quite a few.
    They're known to get drunk and rape women..... If you care to look, there are many cases of these invading felons raping brutalizing and killing American women...including the elderly.

    I know, I know...some will say: "don't American citizens do the same thing"?
    I say: Yes, and we don't need anymore from those sneaking into the country.

    By the way..anyone familiar with what happens to people who illegally enter Mexico?
    Think about it. Remember it the next time you hear the latest low-life President of Mexico admonishing and preaching to the U.S. about how the U.S. should handle it's immigration policies.

    Indeed, I can't even Fathom what the Son's Mother, and Wife of His Father is going through.

    I've lost my fair share of family, close friends, but nothing can compare to this tragedy....

    I wouldn't be surprised if Mom, is being heavily sedated, and rightfully so....

    Say What, I just appropriated a few UCAV reconnaissance Choppers, (with 50 caliber gatlin guns)....a couple of Sherman Tanks, and Tons of explosives to Tote: to guard our border.....

    He has enough AR-15 ammo to last a decade, if he fired it non-stop.....

    Don't tell me Tote is MIA, from one of those pretty Senoritas, who conned him into their lair???

    ...I've been relatively lucky in that aspect, though I've lost quite a few friends and my Father. But my Mother in law who passed away 3 years ago, lost a 2 year old Daughter who choked on a watermelon seed and then a few years later lost a 13 year old Son who drowned while swimming in the pond that is in our back yard...both of these events happened on Mothers Day...can you imagine?

    Oh man, that is truly a horrible tragedy. If I were your Mother IN Law, I'd commit myself, seriously, and no disrespect to a fine lady at that.

    I lost my Mother in Mother's Day of 2013. Mother's Days will never be the same, either. She knew me inside and out, and no one knew me as well as her.
    Of course we buried my only little brother on Valentine's Day. Happy fkn Valentines day my ass. I might as well get rid of Holidays, so things only happen on ordinary days, tho' IMO there is no such thing as ordinary.

    I'm here Rob. ;)

    As for the border, I have a far more creative solution. Build walls but with wide open gaps in selected places. Set up extensive mine fields at the gaps. 24/7 video feeds, make them PPV. The money pays for the victims of illegal crime and funds deportations. And lucky sucker to make it through the gauntlet gets drafted into the military and can become a citizen after serving, learning English, etc.

    Ah you got it well covered down there. I like your Politics Tom. Are you wearing your Rambo gear?

    If all else fails, then we-
    send a "Rod From God" to incinerate the entire border, 30 miles deep into Mexico. Make a barren wasteland out of it. Then no one can run or hide, plus those illegals will flee south to Guatemala.

    Who need Nukes, when ya' have Rods from God? IMO, we have enough weapons of many sorts, we really don't need our Nukes, but they are a good cover, to take the eyes off of Secret's in Space.

    Are ya' gonna' launch that V-2 someday soon?
