  1. He his metal problem he need help

  2. Gregg Abbot will no doubt be pardoning this man and hailing him as a hero that stood his ground.

  3. An SUV used as a weapon is more catastrophic, and instantaneous than any gun.

  4. good thing someone's finally taking out the trash.

  5. Extensive criminal record. Not cooperating. Look at the mugshot to see he's on something. Don't need any tests, that's so obvious.

  6. Father in Heaven please come shut this wicked planet down πŸ™πŸ½πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

  7. The vehicle flipped on its side then hit them? This cop just blatantly lied. I saw the uncensored video. He plowed right into them, then flipped. It was brutal. Their bodies went flying.

  8. Bro took deportation in his own hands

  9. Oh well. Shoulda stayed in Venezuela. They'd still be alive.
    No sympathy here.

  10. My point. Proven guilty. Multiple crimes. Kills several of people without self defense. Instant death penalty. It wont stop the next crazy person from doing crazy things, but itll make them think twice and most likely not do it. Plus we are free from a psycho.

  11. GIve the driver a break. I don't think he meant to run over the migrants.

  12. The idiots should not be out there living. Too much traffic and dispossessed taking up roads. I always drive by wondering how someone does not get killed and the cops do nothing. Give me a ticket is all.

  13. Surprised that it is not murder. I would have thought plowing into a group of people and killing them with your car would wualify the killing to murder.

  14. With Texas gov. greg abbott's attitude about migrants, you'd think he would give this guy a medal, not put him in jail.

  15. This is normal in Texas ~Greg Habott

  16. Imagine escaping your miserable country and when you end up in a new country, you died because got rammed by a truck.

  17. Were those migrants Legal or Illegal?

  18. plot twist: in order to smuggle people in,instead of an underground railroad, they used an above ground human car, but then they got in the wrong lane and nobody packed enough cheese dip or free tax payers money to cushion the impact so nobody survived.

    well…. the replies should be interesting, if i remember and bother to look.

    for anyone fun,enjoy the bad joke, everyone else, get bent and blow yourself.

  19. Where they are from life isn't a given… also to come over here they knew the risk. Cuz either way you die

  20. They driver doesn't want to cooperate and has priors, those are red flags for racially motivated and domestic terrorism.

  21. Call Mr. Plow, That's my name, That name again Is Mr. Plow.

  22. I hope these migrants know what kind of country they're so desperate to be part of.

  23. manslaughter??!! It's flat out murder. It's Texas give him the chair.

  24. Ooooh no! That’s terrible! Another Biden admin failure!

  25. The driver is probably an illegal himself.

  26. Abbott’s Political statement? Like DeSantis, ABBOTT DOESNT CARE ABOUT GUNNED DOWN VICTIMS OF TEXAS!

  27. Incompetent Texas Gov Abbott is like DeSantis, trying to make political point, but Pres. Biden sent 1,500 Military. Abbott knows he should have been at Mall where 8 victims stained due to his Lenient Gun Laws!

  28. are we changing illegal immigrants to migrants now?

  29. May my brothers rest in peace. It’s hard to understand the fact that 2 days ago there was a mass shooting at a mall. Immigrants are now the target of hate. One man just said β€œWhat did we do wrong to deserve this?” Well my brother you’ve done nothing wrong. These racist people are just corrupted in the head and shall be dealt with.

  30. We've got to get the border under operational control. They're not sending their best.

  31. Just bad luck. Doubt it was intentional. Let's not twist the facts. Drunk behind the wheel, could have been anyone. It could have been a line of children from an elementary school. Thousands of Mexicans have died crossing the Rio Grande/Rio Bravo, it's a risk you take. Just a case of bad luck in this case.

  32. Looks planned ♿️

  33. 😒😒😒😒😒😒 Texas may god bless us all

  34. Only in Texas does killing immigrants qualify as a misdemeanor, in Uvalde not one person was charged with negligent homicide!

  35. So sad. May these men rest in peace πŸ•ŠοΈπŸ’”πŸ™πŸ₯€πŸ˜ž

  36. American economy is DOOMED!!!!

  37. Never underestimate the stupidity of humans.

  38. He looks like a migrant himself

  39. When an illegal tries to take the illegals out. Oh America πŸ˜‚
