id like to slap that smug look off his face. his family is as much to blame for harboring a piece of scum like that also. He looks like the type that can sleep well at night knowing and not caring what he did. His "family" should ask how they would feel if this happened to one of their own.

Surprise of surprises, this cucaracha ran off to mejico. Where do you think the rest of cold case criminals are hiding at SAPD? When we secure our border properly, we'll not only keep illegal aliens out, but we'll also be better able to keep scum like this in so they can't run their cowardly yellow belly asses back home.

This guy looks to be on drugs or even drunk. Maybe thats why he fled the accident. The woman with her (mother of the dead children) should know if he was drunk or driving reckless. She needs to hepl the police.

Wow in addition to getting the Moms head checked get her eyes checked also. Woof They're both guilty of criminal negligence for not having booster seats for those kids. However please save a special place on the cell block for this POS COWARD who when needed ran away like a little biatch.

An illegal alien driver helps kill a few kids while on the road. Why I'm just shocked. We should give him citizenship so he can vote Obama.
