Given the way a lot of you perceive and speak about illegal aliens and their offspring, and the way someone’s life can get hopeless real quick after a couple teenage mistakes, it’s no wonder these guys wind up acting the way they do. Society reflects the way the collective thinks.


Nobody said anything about illegal aliens. The point was made that an 18 year old person was arrested for a parole violation. You get probation for a couple of teenage mistakes. You get parole for being convicted of a crime and spending time in prison.


A two month investigation tells me these “teenagers” were up to a lot of “mischief” to require the allocation of these kind of resources to get them into custody.

Kudos to the Sheriff’s Office for getting people who shoot guns at cars off our streets.

I am sure if this poor misunderstood youth had shot MKaney’s car or worse hit a family member “accidentally” his tune would be different.


Hector Ivan Lupercio-Chavez, 18, for a parole violation

Eighteen and already violating a parole?! WINNER!
