Seems the topic of comments keeps switching by posters, and now is focusing on VA governors. Another opportunity to take a random plug. My comment was to plainly state this, and nothing else: The area police departments are incapable of intelligently conducting a successful homicide investigation, let alone any investigation.
My other comments were merely pointing out the fact that this isn’t a ‘immigrant’ issue, it isn’t an issue with that particular shopping center, and it isn’t the governor’s fault. Using this medium to post ‘rants’ on other topics shows some still belong in the 60s…
Lets face it there are not many areas 100% free of crime. Before the “illegal immigrant” invasion began. It was deliberately lied about and called an “immigrant invasion” by a previous poster. It has been duly noted by statistics in neighboring areas where illegals fled to all have seen marked increases in school enrollment, increases in crime more than likely another increase in taxes to support these “illegal criminal invaders”. With a screenname like yours i can assume you support Virginia’s worst governor in recent times. Even worse than Gilmore and Allen and Robb and Wilder. Although clearly with his record of failure he surpasses all of them. No transportation bill, poor environmental record, no action on illegal immigration. Actually he even pardoned a criminal alien. Plus he was slow on acting with budget cuts even though he was forewarned. He also tried to dip into the rainy day fund earlier in his term when times weren’t so bad. Porr judgment, poor leadership these are not good examples of a good person who really cares about his constituents. Virginia cannot handle 4 more years of mismanagement and poor judgment.

The area, Georgetown South, prior to the ‘immigrant invasion’, had similar issues, just that this happens to be the ‘first’. Many can use this opportunity to drive the ‘illegal’ nail just a little further, but the true irony is that the ‘department’ is totally incapable of solving this kind of investigation, let alone even conduct it. That’s the sad part….
If I’m not mistaken, this is not the first homicide in this shopping center in which hispanic immigrants were involved. This shopping center is an eyesore in the city and a nuisance and should have been removed years ago.
Imagine that? A Hispanic male committing a homicide within the City of Manassas. It seems like almost daily that we read similar stories from around PW County. We are allowing the worst of the worst to get into the United States. We have no idea who these people are. You could be living next to a child molester, rapist, killer and no one would ever know until you read it in the paper. Anyone want to take the bet that the killer was illegal? Yea I know he was just here to feed his family. Someone has employed this guy at some point and I wonder how they will feel once he is identified? It might have been one of the painters used by our esteemed Retired Marine who is a regular here on this post. At least now we know that this cockroach will be deported if caught unlike several years ago where they were just turned back in to the community to continue their life of crime. You can credit Corey Stewart for the success of the illegal immigrant resolution. It is working regardless of what the Mexicans without Laws Crowd think. And by the way, the 9600 block of Grant Ave is where? Yes you guessed it, Georgetown South. Imagine that?
Possibly illegal. LOL Chris Cummings
