Illegal Murder

Once again the Nashville news brings reports of an illegal alien murdering a US citizen. He was drunk and he was illegal and what's worse, it wasn't his first bust.

The latest fatal car crash allegedly committed at the hands of an illegal immigrant who was driving drunk has claimed the life of a Tennessee State University (TSU) senior member of the women’s track team, Metro Police said late Monday.Joycelyn R. Gardiner, 22, was pronounced dead at Vanderbilt University Medical Center at 4 a.m. Saturday, one hour and 15 minutes after her Pontiac Grand Prix was struck by a Ford Expedition driven by Victor Javier Benitez, 24, of 365 Paragon Mills Road, Apt. A-5, police said.“The Expedition left no pre-crash skid marks,” police officials said of the crash scene at Old Hickory Boulevard and Nolensville Pike, “indicating that Benitez did not try to brake prior to impact.”

No information on Benitez’s blood alcohol content was immediately available, and police described him as an “alleged drunk driver” even though his only current charge is vehicular homicide.At the same time, police were quick to point out that Benitez, whose physical identification was issued in Texas, was on two separate occasions convicted of a total of four criminal charges in Nashville.He was arrested in February 2006 on three counts of car burglary and two counts of attempted theft. Two months later he was convicted of one count of car burglary and sentenced by General Sessions Judge Casey Moreland to one year of supervised probation.On Nov. 5, 2006, Benitez was rearrested on charges of public intoxication, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. The following day he was convicted of all three charges and sentenced by General Sessions Judge William Higgins to seven days in jail.

This murder happened near my home, on a route I take daily. Nolensville RD at Bell/Old Hickory has enough crashes from folks just plain not paying attention, trying to beat the light or worse. Go North from that location and it's often like running a gauntlet of illegal drivers.

Time to expedite the deportation of illegal aliens in the USA and a good place to start is that intersection and head north.
