15 Year old American Teen Dies In Mothers Arms, Mexican Murderers Caught At Mexican Border
2011-01-31
Three Mexican men who were wanted for the murder of an American teenager have turned themselves in at an Arizona border crossing point, Reuters reports.

U.S. officers tell Reuters that Orel Vasquez, 20, Christian Vasquez, 26, and Juan Leon, 29, turned themselves in Saturday for the 2009 murder of 15-year-old Brenda Arenas of Tucson.

Arenas was shot in the head during a botched carjacking and died in her mother's arms.

The U.S. Customs and Borders Protection agency took the three into custody. All three men were in the U.S. illegally.

#7  American side.

Customs and Border Patrol has them at last report.

#6  Did the miscreants surrender on the American side or the Mexican side? It seems to me that little point ought to matter. I assume the final sentence above refers to their illegality at the time of the murder.

#4  Recall the opening scene from the Godfather, at the wedding where the mortician asks for justice he didn't receive from the 'system'. When government abdicates its responsibilities and powers, people will seek redress through other means. The 'system' will howl, not because of 'justice' though that will be on their lips, but because it fears the loss of its power and position.

#1  So when will they arrest Janet Napolitano as an accessory?

I am serious - she is the one suing Arizona for doing *her* frigging job.
