The idiot driver had a record from a previous arrest assaulting someone with a pipe.Nice kid.Some guy had the guts to ask him for directions in the past and got beat up badly.back to Pakistan.Dont wanna be racist now.Sorry sensitive people out there.
Then I will second it.... Back to Pakistan!
Why should he be able to go to another country and live freely???? Let's hope the justice system manages to get it right and put this guy in jail for life.
simply another illegal killing hard working Americans in our wonderful,diverse,sanctuary state.
And it most certainly IS "state."

you stupid fux.....
I'm the daughter of the driver Bessy velasquez and yes your right no ones to judge any body and be racist but he had a suspended license, a bad record, and now look.....10 years is absolutely not enough for being responsible for 3 deaths.....I know have to take care of a 15 yr n my senior retired dad.....I'm 18.....and uts all because of irresponsible dumbass ignorant Ppl like Omar. ...
If you're drunk or high don't get behind the wheel!You might not care that you'll kill people but you will definitely care when you're charged with murder or manslaughter!May they rest in peace.I hope Omar gets life in prison
Just like Bessy's daughter mentioned above..10 years is NOT enough for the deaths he caused, the pain and the loss of those families and friends. He should ROT in jail..or even better in hell. hate is a strong word, but an even stronger feeling..and that is the only word I can find to describe this feeling, for Omar.
