I heard reference that Erwin Chemerinsky (sp?) is taking Caterpillar to court for wrongful death on behalf of the parents of an anti-war protestor who was run over by a bulldozer made by them in Gaza (I think Gaza)!?!?!

If this was able to get before the court, surely the 9th Circuit should look at a claim on behalf of Miss Linnik’s parents.

From KING-5/Seattle blog:

His nick name is Dang. He’s led a somewhat normal life here in Tacoma. I’ve known him for about 2 years. He had a girl friend, Asian, and her family lived with him and her in a house across from a school. He spoke of his 8 years in the army? He also was involved in a tow truck company. And went on to military reservations to pick up broken vehicles. He also helped some fella flip houses. I heard he had a past involving relatives who live in another state. Never would I think he was capable of doing such a terrible thing.

A search by FOXNews.com of the state’s voter registration records shows that Adhahn registered in 2002, and his registration was current.

Good thing we don’t need to have better control of who votes.

(Not a snark about Voter ID – the authorities would have looked at his ID, and approved him to vote at election time. He was allowed to register and apparently (according to some accounts) vote despite being a banned felon. But this should put paid to the claims that things are OK-how-they-are.)

It appears AKM is correct, from AP’s latest

Adhahn, a legal permanent resident of the U.S., could not have been deported for the incest conviction because it was not an aggravated felony and it was his first offense, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Virginia Kice said Friday. But a 1992 conviction for intimidation with a dangerous weapon could have made him deportable, and Adhahn was being held this week on an immigration complaint. He also was charged with failing to register as a sex offender.

It must be the second offense that is prompting his detention.

Doesn’t really change much though, he should have been long gone fifteen years ago.

IANAL - but the law apparently has some loopholes - like the first crime of moral turpitude doesn't require deportation in someone who has been a legal resident for >5 yrs. A link outling the way this guy remained in the country and fell through the cracks.

This toad was registered to vote in Pierce County, WA.

Come on, SDN, it's not like there been any impact whatsoever of voter fraud on elections in Washington! Oh, wait...
