to here from still here; from anon at 4:42pm jan 5th; you need to speak English in public, because the US citizens dont want to here the jibber. i belong here because i was born here LEGALLY. in America we have our own way of talking the English language in the north they have thier own, in the west, the east and the south. so however the American born citizen speaks the English language is ok with me because i can understand them and it is homeland lingo. so why dont you go to this island you are talking about and take the illegals with you. then ya'll can talk that jibber all you want without people like me who dont want to hear that stuff. let us all know when ya'll left for the island!!!!!! to anon on jan 6th at 8:48am; you hit the nail on the head. the American born citizen is screwed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that assuming things that you don't know for a fact shows the ignorance but worse it seems to me that there is always someone willing to spit hate and come out of the woodworks then pull everyone else in with it. Don't fall for the dumb comments, just stick to the story that was told. I don't need to hear your rants about how your superior than the rest of the world. p.s. Im not illegal but i speak fluent spanish and speak it in public but i know plenty of people who speak english and can't speak it properly so get off your soap box and live in a isolated island because that is where you need to be since you can't live among anyone.

Get all these illegals out now!!! We have lost our country...

Deport them now. Put them in an airplane and fly them across the border then throw them out over Mexico at 30,000 feet. Now that is deportation.

It doesn't say anywhere in this story that these two are illegals. What they did is a horrible thing and I hope they get punished to the maximum. But gosh, people get a life and quit assuming that everyone of hispanic descent is an "illegal"

Haven't we had enough of the illegals yet?

After this, will these two fine, upstanding citizens get deported?

So sad. A relative of mine suffered a similar beating here in Durant on Christmas Eve night by four individuals, and even though with witness statements and the names of the culprits, the Durant Police Department have yet to do anything about this. He was stomped and kicked in the head repeatedly and robbed. Glad to hear that at least one police department around here is doing their job.

This is so sad, I prayers go out for the family. These two men were trying to help someone.
