Crowd Steals Groceries From Dying Elderly Man Hit by Truck

As a good samaritan went to check on the victim -- his groceries were also stolen. "One minute it's on the ground, the next minute it's gone."

Any bets on the ethnicity involved here? Well, at least no windows were broken or cars burned.

connie   October 3rd, 2007 - 5:19 pm

We Americans are a caring lot. Care about taking the gentle mans groceries, rather than trying to help him.

Michelle   October 3rd, 2007 - 5:24 pm

I dont understand how this could happen in America. Is Mesa so poor that they would forfeit all decency for a loaf of bread? Are they really that hungry? Don’t they have food stamps? I just can’t understand how this could happen.

Paul in Mesa   October 3rd, 2007 - 5:25 pm

I am so ashamed. Can it be that people have lost any shred of decency? Although it is a “low-income” area, that is no reason to behave so poorly. My heart goes out to the family of the victim. If, by chance, that driver(fled the scene) was an illegal alien. He has likely feuled the fire against illegals and may have sparked a sort of witch-hunt. If I find out who the family of the victim is, I plan to buy them a shopping card. It’s only symbolic, but I’m representing the givers, not the underbelly of society that could take petty goods from a dying man. Mesa is a wonderful place, full of good people. Mesa is also the home to these dispicable losers. Pray for them too.

This is sickening! These aren’t people, they are rodents. Rodents act that way, not people.

When the ACLU forces God out of our lives…this is the result. A real improvement, huh?

Joyce   October 3rd, 2007 - 5:33 pm

And another generation of welfare leeches with an entitlement attitude. They think they are even entitled to a dying man’s groceries…as long as they are FREE. This is what Socialism leads to. Thank you, Ted Kennedy.

Poppa Gus   October 3rd, 2007 - 5:34 pm

No mention of Police,are they looking for this Pick up truck? What A Disgrace that no one was able to get the License Plates.and God bless that person who tried to help…list his phone so that I might send him a check for his honarable deed,and to replace what was STOLEN from him.
There are decent people still left in Arizona and this personj is proof of this .

Josh   October 3rd, 2007 - 5:45 pm

Mesa if full of illegal aliens, I bet the driver of the truck is an illegal from mexico here to sell drugs and cause as much trouble as possible. Illegals are ruining Mesa and the surrounding areas. And our government does NOTHING.

Paul in Mesa   October 3rd, 2007 - 5:47 pm

The drivers name is Alan Ricardo Flores-Ocon.
No mention as to his citizenship.

Poppa Gus   October 3rd, 2007 - 5:49 pm

Poppa Gus again,most important your article does not mention the condition of the Gent that was struck by that hit and run idiot,is he going to be OK ?how badly hurt was he ?
Gus

Josh   October 3rd, 2007 - 5:56 pm

Alan Ricardo Flores-Ocon is on his way back to mexico, to escape punishment. Typical illegal.

Poppa Gus   October 3rd, 2007 - 6:01 pm

Hey Paul how were you able to locate his name
Good job.
Gus

Joyce   October 3rd, 2007 - 6:07 pm

Duncan Hunter/Tom Tancredo. The only 2 candidates that have a sincere intention of stopping illegal immigration.

I read KTAR.com as well as listen to KTAR 92.3 FM. I also read “DrudgeReport.com”, there was a link, so I passed it on. Thank YOU Gus. I live just a couple of blocks from the accident site and plan to find the victims to help out with groceries. paul@macayo.com e-me

What did he need of the food if he was dead? This is simply the way it is in the Wild West, as it has been for centuries. Go rent an old cowboy movie and you’ll see.

Figures, bunch of worthless scum takin advantage of other worthless scum… frankly i could care less i just like to see how low these animals will go its like watchin a train wreck, except i dont go and pilfer from the injured and dead… it is rather interesting to me… these people dont exist in my America i only hear about them on tv and the computer…

Danny   October 3rd, 2007 - 10:09 pm

Here in Bush’s America, food is hard to get and very expensive. I suppose we still can say that we did not “cannibalize”… But usually the truck owner gets to keep the game he hits…

Jason in Mesa, AZ   October 4th, 2007 - 1:36 am

This neighborhood is full of illegal immigrants. But it’s not the worst of them by any means. The issue here isn’t either person being Hispanic. The issue is who was here legally. This is why we need your vote to lock the borders down. It’s only a matter of time before this is in rural America.

And the victim was declared dead at the scene.

Sparkjack   October 4th, 2007 - 4:23 am

Half of you sound like the token racist from a human interest story turned movie. And voting for Tom Tancredo or what have you is like casting a vote for a 13th century catholic pope. Just catch the plague already or be raptured up or something.

Sucks to be the old guy but word of caution for people judging here. First, ok, assume they were illegals, couple options; hang around for the very eventual arrival of police, or run. Society hasn’t exactly encouraged them to be overly receptive of uniformed individuals. Second, assume they are hungry enough to take the guys groceries. No one here knows what that’s like.

Sure be upset. It’s a damn sad thing, but don’t be a dick about it and don’t use it to condemn people you’ve never met. When you start comparing people to rats you are sounding like a nazi and just like no one likes ugly lesbians, no one likes nazis.

jim   October 4th, 2007 - 5:05 am

this is typical non-white behavior and i have to laugh when whites want to be all hands across America when they know the future is going to very cruel to their kids and there kids kids. i also laugh at the non-whites when they say they will take over someday. yes they will but id hate to be living in this country when that day comes. they should be afraid to but they’re too stupid to understand that they’re wrecking there own futures. go ahead and take over and see what happens then. it will just be another Mexico and Africa. enjoy it you morons

T. Moore   October 4th, 2007 - 7:40 am

Definitely not whites. My friend talks about how the government let down blacks during Katrina – but the white communities came together – Please don’t compare us to Nazi’s. That is an insult to Nazi’s – at least they did something about their racial problems.

Mohammed   October 4th, 2007 - 8:38 am

Those people should be rounded up and summarily executed.

Shut Up   October 4th, 2007 - 9:14 am

Kinda funny how race is the first thing that people consider when analyzing a story like this. Just to note; I’ve seen dispicable acts from both black and white, and everything in between. It’s not a matter of white or black, it’s a matter of economics. In my opinion, the downwared spiral of this country is being allowed to happen, for whatever reason. I’m only 33 years old, but growing up, I don’t remember us having a problem with illegals. Also, manufacturing jobs in various industries were abundantly available. My grandfather couldn’t read, but made close to $80K a year (in the 60’s and 70’s) as a foreman in a steel factory. Now, we have this influx of illegals (which I admit contributes to the economic problem) and why? Don’t we have access to better technology these days? And why are so many manufacturing and service jobs outsourced to other countries? This is the new global economy. It has nothing to do with black and white. I’m afraid that communities like the one where this accident took place are probably on the rise. Look at the death of many of our once thriving towns and cities that were built on the auto or steel industry. (Younstown, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan). Let’s stop arguing over black and white and try to rebuild our communities so zombie like acts like this one don’t occur.

Wake up white America, YOU are the target…

What a shameful way for the world to view Amerika. First, we had New Orleans for the world to view. Now we have thugs grubbing for groceries from a dying man. This is only the beginning, folks. Thank you George Bush, and your neo-con liberal neo Troksyite bunch

Nick   October 5th, 2007 - 4:51 pm

Wow… can we say “racists”? Why should it matter what “race” the victim or suspects are… they are all humans… for goodness sakes… grow up.

NatAll.Com   October 5th, 2007 - 5:33 pm

Thank you Mohammed

You hit the nail right on the head. There was a time when most Americans felt that way. Back before they became brainwashed twits with the effeminate value system of the liberals in both political parties.

Mel   October 5th, 2007 - 8:01 pm

Wow. How many completely unnecessary racist comments can we come up with? There are many issues about illegal immigration that get me worked up, and I am definitely against it. The fact will always remain though that I have never been in any position that these men and women have. How can I possibly judge how these people are acting? I think it’s terribly sad that in this day and age people feel they have to steal food from the dying, I thought we had become more civilized than that. However, once again, not my place to judge. So what if they took the food? They are the ones that will have to deal with the karmic repercussions of that. How dare any of you assume what race they are, and furthermore judge them based soley on that assumption.

NatAlldotCom   October 5th, 2007 - 9:28 pm

“Racist comments”

Like it or not people are divided up into races. Some are productive and creative and some are parasitic and destructive.

“I think it’s terribly sad that in this day and age people feel they have to steal food from the dying, I thought we had become more civilized than that.”

You or WE have become more civilized than that. That is the whole point. These 3rd world hyenas have NOT and they prove it every day.

“So what if they took the food?”

Typical liberal twit effeminate value attitude. Stealing from an injured man and a good samaritan is OK by you. Same as we saw in New Orleans-so what if they are looting big screen TV sets.

“karmic repercussions”

More liberal twit effeminate values. The repercussions should be jail time and deportation. We have every right to judge them since most are here illegally and destroying our social infrastructure to the tune of 10 billion a year in Calif alone and that’s after you assume $9000 per family per year they pay in tax.

HISPANIC LEADERS SPEAK OUT!

Augustin Cebada, Brown Berets; “Go back to Boston! Go back to Plymouth Rock, Pilgrims! Get out! We are the future. You are old and tired. Go on. We have beaten you. Leave like beaten rats. You old white people. It is your duty to die . Through love of having children, we are going to take over.

Richard Alatorre, Los Angeles City Council. “They’re afraid we’re going to take over the governmental institutions and other
institutions. They’re right. We will take them over . . . We are here to stay.”

Excelsior, the national newspaper of Mexico, “The American Southwest seems to be slowly returning to the jurisdiction of Mexico without firing a single shot.”

Professor Jose Angel Gutierrez, University of Texas; “We have an aging white America . They are not making babies. They are dying. The
explosion is in our population . . . I love it. They are shitting in their pants with fear. I love it.”

Art Torres, Chairman of the California Democratic Party, “Remember 187–proposition to deny taxpayer funds for services to non-citizens–was the last gasp of white America in California.”

Gloria Molina, Los Angeles County Supervisor, “We are politicizing every single one of these new citizens that are becoming citizens of
this country . . . I gotta tell you that a lot of people are saying, “I’m going to go out there and vote because I want to pay them back.”

Mario Obledo, California Coalition of Hispanic Organizations and California State Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Governor Jerry Brown, also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton, “California is going to be a Hispanic state.
Anyone who doesn’t lik e it should leave.”

Jose Pescador Osuna, Mexican Consul General , “We are practicing ‘La Reconquista’ in California.”

Professor Fernando Guerra, Loyola Marymount University; “We need to avoid a white backlash by using codes understood by Latinos . . . ”

Are these just the words of a few extremists? Consider that we could fill up many pages with such quotes. Also, consider that these are
mainstream Mexican leaders.

I do not believe WHITE people would have done such a thing.

Nobody is that hungry or poor.

this was Indians [ fricking Navajos] or Mexicans.

Period… nobody will convince me otherwise.

Hit and run? — an illegal f-ing Mexican.

this kind of stuff happens in the 3rd world.. not in America… unless America is invaded by the animal hordes of Central America or Africa.

Even the Chinese are above such behavior… this is LATINO or BLACK – period

filthy disgusting animals.

If they were able to run, they weren’t hungry enough to steal from a dying man in MY book.
