A woman was pulled over in Phoenix a few months ago; It's been all over the news. She's a student, and her student visa has long since expired. I don't get this. Setting aside the fact that she is here in the country illegally, she's driving without a license, without insurance, and in a car that is not legally registered. If I do this, I go to to jail.

I'm sorry the kid was shot. But, that's what you get when your rolling with a pack of people who throw rocks at police officers. Period.
