Loophole in Ohio Law Allows Drunk Illegal Aliens to Kill Americans and it’s Just a Misdemeanor
May 19th, 2008We already know there are two sets of laws in this country but this highlights the absurdity of it even more. Clearly the law abiding citizens are getting screwed from every direction. Meanwhile, illegal aliens sneak into our country, assume a fake identity, drive without insurance or a license and work for cash under the table and if they smash into someone on the highway in Ohio and kill anyone - they just receive a slap on the wrist. But if an Ohio citizen has the exact same car accident, they will be charged with a felony and probably be sued for everything they have. The illegal alien? He just shrugs and takes on another identity and goes about his business of taking American jobs, taking taxpayer funded handouts and raising his anchor baby American citizen.
Take a good look at this family portrait and realize that this little girl’s father is now dead and the scumbag illegal alien who killed him was only charged with a misdemeanor. This illegal alien should not have been here in the first place to end the life of this family’s father and husband. But to trivialize his death by allowing little to no punishment for this tragedy is beyond comprehension. Our justice system no longer operates with common sense and it is a sign of a declining nation in my opinion. What’s next? Will the victims of these crashes have to pay for the medical costs of the illegal alien who caused the crash? That’s only one small step away from the current injustice going on in this country. Screw the citizen - promote the illegal alien slaves. Apparently the people in power in this country prefer third world slaves to uppity citizens any day.
DOVER — You can get a break under Ohio law if you crash your car and kill somebody–provided you don’t have a driver’s license. Legal experts say there is a technical loophole in the Ohio Revised Code.
Illegal immigrants who crash and kill are only charged with a misdemeanor and not a felony. Ohio drivers with a valid license would be charged with a felony for the same crime.
Dover resident, John Barr, was driving home from work to his wife, Kelly, and 3-year old daughter last June. Barr’s life ended in a violent crash.
His dark purple Ford Taurus was crushed by a dump truck that was forced into him by a car driven by an illegal immigrant from Guatemala.Juan Usralios had no valid license. Amanda Spies, the Tuscarawas County prosecutor initially charged Usralios with involuntary manslaughter, a felony offense. However, Spies discovered there is no language in the Ohio Revised Code to charge Usralios with a felony because he wasn’t driving with a suspended license or any license at all.
Kelly Barr told Channel 3’s Mike O’Mara, “I am angry and I am still grieving on a daily basis. So is my daughter. We deal with that every day. I cry every day.”
Kelly says she was devastated when she learned that Usralios was only charged with a misdemeanor.
But Amanda Spies told Channel 3 that she had no choice under Ohio law.“Normally at first glance this looks like a felony offense,” said Spies. “And then when you start reading word for word you realize there is a big hole in the law that Mr. Usralios happened to fall into.”
Kelly has vowed to help change the Ohio law.
She says she owes it to her daughter, Allison who is now four years old. Her cousin, Kelly S. Barr, is helping with the petition drive.“We have to do something about this,” said Kelly S. Barr. “It breaks my heart to know that Allison will not see her dad.”
“Why is this crime only a misdemeanor?” she asked.
John’s widow, Kelly, said, “being angry, yelling, crying isn’t going to get me somewhere with the law. I need to be as smart as I can. I want our state legislators to do something to fix this.”
State Representative Allan Sayre, from Dover has introduced House Bill 512 which would close the loophole.
State representatives, Stephen Dyer from Green, Jennifer Brady from Westlake, Edna Brown from Toledo, Joseph Koziura from Lorain, Lorraine Fende from Willowick, and Mark Okey from Carrollton have all declared their support for the H.B. 512.
Currently House Bill 512 is waiting for review by the Criminal Justice Committee with no timetable for any decision.
Since last summer there have been two more fatal accidents on State Route 250. Both involved illegal immigrants with no license. Both men were only charged with a misdemeanors.
