| NYC Christmas Concert Shooter Was Immigrant Shielded from Deportation Despite Extensive Criminal Record |
| 2020-12-20 |
| [Breitbart] The shooter at a New York City, New York, Christmas concert was an immigrant to the United States from the Dominican Republic who avoided deportation despite an extensive criminal record, officials confirm. Luis Manuel Vasquez-Gomez, a 52-year-old native of the Dominican Republic who lived in the Bronx, opened fire on December 13 at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine following an outdoor Christmas concert on the steps of the church. Vasquez-Gomez was met within five minutes by New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers who pleaded with him to drop his gun, though he refused. NYPD officers shot Vasquez-Gomez, and he was rushed to a hospital where he died. Vasquez-Gomez was wearing a Dominican Republic face mask and hat and, according to the New York Daily News, was carrying a manifesto where he justified the shooting "because of the way the United States treated the people of Latin America." According to records, Vasquez-Gomez had a long criminal history dating back three decades. Vasquez-Gomez first arrived in the U.S. in 1976 as a legal immigrant. In 1989, Vasquez-Gomez pleaded guilty after cutting the hand of a man but avoided prison. A year later, Vasquez-Gomez pleaded guilty to criminal possession of a weapon and selling cocaine after being arrested for attempted murder. Police said Vasquez-Gomez had fired gunshots in the direction of a woman and coppers. Vasquez-Gomez was sentenced to three to nine years in prison. In 1995, Vasquez-Gomez was ordered deported by a federal immigration judge after having served his prison sentence. Twice in 2007 and 2017, Vasquez-Gomez was allowed to stay in the U.S. after being granted a stay of removal and a removal waiver. Vasquez-Gomez was last in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody in 2008 after he violated his parole in 2007. He was released from ICE custody that year.

| #1 So he B ____, MOANED and GROANED (BMG) about how the USA was treating Latin America. He came here over 40 years ago...and waited to use a Religious festival to apply his Mentally Ill political point. SUMMARY: After looking at a video and reading the NY-Daily . It appears this was Suicide by Cop With that stated.... He went to great efforts to stay here illegally over 30 years. He used the Justice system of a country that he claims, blames and despises to fight his Deportation. A deportation well earned due a laundry list of serious criminal activities. But the Socialist-Democrats helped and fought to keep him here. He used a Sanctuary City, a concept promoted by Socialists-Democrats. Thus using a political ideology historically notorious for mass murder in Latin America (Socialists) to assist in staying. He did all this so he could stay in a country he HATES and DESPISES to make $$$$, and be safer than in his own country. Plus "BMG" something that would get his A$$ locked up or murdered in the Dominican Republic. Did I miss something.... OH!! Yeah.. Better and Free Healthcare, a better social support and care system for the poor and more. He is not just to blame. The Liberals, Socialists and Democrats that fought so hard to keep him here 30 years after he should have been deported. ALL SHARE in this. BTW: This being NYC with a BAN on Citizen self-defense firearms. He had 2 hand guns despite a serious and violent criminal record. PROVING Banning Firearms only leaves Police and Criminals with firearms. An Police are usually 10 to 15 mins away. |
