Family of murdered teen sues county
This is the kind of action that will get the attention of a government that's clearly failed to protect its citizens:
The family of 15-year-old murder victim Dani Countryman is suing Clackamas County.
According to public records, the suit alleges authorities knew Countryman's killer was in the country illegally but failed to report him. Indeed, in November 2006 the person who plead guilty to Countryman's murder was convicted in Clackamas County of driving drunk.
The suit asks for $3.5 million for the death of the 15-year-old from Texas. She was killed during a sexual assault at a party in Milwaukie, Ore., in 2007. Countryman was in Oregon to visit her sister in Oregon City.
Let's hope the family wins, the illegals are deported, and the bootlicking politicians who're selling us out get kicked out of office.

As an attorney, I can tell you that this lawsuit has practically no chance of success. Still, it could be effective in drawing attention to the issue and in encouraging other counties to adopt safeguards to keep this from happening.
Anonymous,
Ditton on both points. If nothing else, it's good to alert our rulers that we see what they're doing to us -- and don't like it.
