Kudos to the officers alert and noticing the stolen car! Glad to see their good
work! But the officer doing the shooting needs a refresher course. His/her aim
was too low! Now Utah has to foot the medical bill. Funeral costs would have
been much less for this felon.
Thanks... | 3:59 a.m. Sept. 30, 2007
To the men and women who risk their lives to keep us safe. I only hope that
this little forray by two dangerous felons has taught the Utah state penal
system a lesson about hardened criminals - that they truly cannot be trusted and
must be kept under high security conditions. Hopefully, the families of the
murdered victim can now breathe a bit easier knowing that these two perps are
back in custody.

Thanks for a job well done. We can all relax a little more. I know that you
were just doing your job.....but we appreciate you doing YOUR job
correctly...not like Daggett County.

Just some more illegals "doing the jobs Americans won't do"???
Since these are already convicted felons, it should be a matter of record if
they are indeed illegals, or not. The note that authorities were "watching
the border in case they tried to enter Mexico" suggest that they are. The
Deseret News has an obligation to print the full story and not omit parts to be
politically correct- like the Tribune does.
This case is more evidence we need to control our borders NOT to stop the flow of illegas intent on doing harm.
If a Mexican thug can get across so easily, so can an Islamic terrorist bent on much more horrific crimes.
Kudos to the 72 year old robbery victim and the Wyoming cops!

That is why capital punishment is a good idea if someone was put to death soon a
guilty person than there is a guarantee they won't escape and murder again.
Without that there is no guarantee and they can again do there evil deeds.
Think of those evil people from texas that escaped made it more dangerous to
society.

a big thank you to all the law enfocement that was involved in this effort to
keeping stupid people off the streets.
They were not illegals | 10:44 a.m. Sept. 30, 2007
John, Gallegos was third generation Utahn.
but thanks for playing the race card!
By the way, did you know that our prisons are predominantly full with full-blooded Genuine Americans??

Thats a really ignorant comment an obviously you misinterpreted the reason to watch the border more closely. Mexico has some tougher extradition clauses soif bad guys get there its harder for them to face the US system.

I've got to agree with the comment about the death penalty. Letting
murderers live creates danger for everyone.

Gallegos may have been 3rd generation American, but Diaz is not. He IS an
illegal and has been deported at least once previously.

The idea that a certain percentage of illegal immigrants commit felonies in the
U.S. is a statistical fact not a bigoted statement. So, if we put the clamps on
illegal immigration we're going to have less crime. It only makes sense to
know who's in our country, and what kind of people they are.

I hope that just because these two sweethearts were caught, that everything that
happened in Daggett County won't be swept under the rug. Good job
Sweetwater County. It seemed as if it were you running the show for Daggett
all along. Thanks for being on the ball.

You people and illegals. Maybe Mexico and the rest of Central America are just
now paying us back for the many years of illegal criminals we sent running to
our southern neighbors. I can't stop thinking that Australia is where
England sent the undesirables, and look at it today. Get off your racial
attitude and do something constructive and that makes sense. Stop bahling about
so called illegals.

Everyone needs to remember, they are Illegals because they came to this country
Illegally. If they were willing to break the law to get here, the Illegals will
be more willing to break other laws. All the others that followed the law to get
here, will uphold the law because they are the ones who work to harder to get
here.

Soooo, why escape from prison if you are only going to go to Wyoming?
Elly | 7:01 p.m. Sept. 30, 2007
Would have been nice to have some warning about the chase....since the shooting
took place just outside my back fence. (I mean REALLY!) Go back to the shoot to
kill policy - at least we will know where to find the bullet!

I'm just curious. Were either of these knuckleheads American citizens?
