#1 Boston man recounts frightening fight with Ibragim Todashev in 2011:
Incident probably took place in February 2010 - the timeline of the original article doesn't make sense.
Many said he tried to walk away, but Todashev yelled [Expletive] you and your son. Furious, Many yelled back, though he could not recall what he said. According to the police report of the incident, Todashev said, You say something about my mother, I will kill you. I dont remember saying something about his mother, Many said. To be honest, I probably did. Then, Many said, Todashev rushed him and grabbed him by the shirt collar. Afraid of what Todashev might do next, Many said he hit him. Though Todashev, at 5 foot 10, was taller, Many said he was able to subdue him, placing him in a chokehold as Todashev tried to kick him and his sister wept, begging him to let him go. Dont fight! Dont fight! she kept crying. His sons mother also wept, kicking at Todashev. I had to defend myself, Many said. When the police arrived, he said he finally let him go. Todashev kept struggling as police tried to handcuff him. Witnesses later told the officers that Todashev was the aggressor, according to a Boston police report. Todashev admitted to sufficient facts in November 2010 on charges of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and reckless driving. Admission to sufficient facts is a plea that allows a defendant to avoid a conviction while at the same time conceding there is enough evidence for a guilty finding. The resisting arrest charge was dismissed. The other two charges were continued without a finding and dismissed after nine months. Todashevs lawyer at the time, Anthony Rossi, a Chelsea defense attorney, could not immediately be reached for comment. Many said he was shocked to learn the man he fought had ties to the brothers accused of orchestrating the Boston Marathon bombings.
I'm shocked that Todashev wasn't deported after the 2011 incident.

#2 Bit of irony from ABC News: Todashev was a lawful permanent resident holding a Russian passport, when he arrived in the U.S. in 2008 on a student visa, a senior U.S. official told ABC News.

Despite a recent assault arrest, his immigration file was devoid of derogatory information, the official said.

#3 Your government really isn't setup to deport people is it.

More the merrier for you armed, guarded and more equal political classes.
