63. According to the news Hector Velazquez-Nava, did not have a license to drive.
Why am I not surprised?

64. As usual, a bunch of Holier-than-thou's leaving comments like you all have a right to judge. If any of you were that perfect you wouldn't be reading TMZ in the first place.

65. I would bet my last dollar that this driver was here illegially. We as American citizens have to get together and tell Congress that we need our Country back. If people want to come here they need to follow the rules like every other immigrant.

Now a movie producer and his you son are dead. This is starting to happen too much with the people who cross our boarders.

Contact The House and Congress tell them you want the funds for the fence. We can get it passed if both Republicians and Democrates voters send letter to their representives and tell all your friends to do so also. You can even call...


Theres an election coming up soon...they want their votes...better get done or tell then you are not going to vote for them.


Their are worried that they will be seen a racist. This is not about Race this is about our coulture. We speak english (not much anymore) I'm tired i want my country back

66. I think Hector Velazquez-Nava should be treated with the same degree of severity that Lane Garrison ("Prison Break") and Brandy Norwood ("Moesha").

67. My sympathy to the family. "A Christmas story" was and still is a pillar in my home. I know its a Christmas movie but we usually bust it out right around Thanksgiving. I have the special edition DVD and Mr. Clark was great on it. May God bless you and watch over you and your son.

71. Open Letter To Automakers:

Some of these vehicles that are rolling off of the asembly lines have sooooo many bells and whistles. How about adding a dna-based breathalizer right next to that friggin mapquest that disallows an engine to start if the driver is drunk.

Do something brilliant for a change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

72. Learn how to spell "HENRY."
How do you know he's not salvadorean or guatemalan or any other hispanic race...
You're an idiot Henry... Now go screw your hillbilly girlfriend... Who is probably your sister...

73. May god be with them. I'm sure the driver will get what he should . what goes around comes around

74. Nava was found to be driving under the influence of alcohol and operating a motor vehicle without a driver's license sounds like an ilegal

75. As a victim of a drunk driver my heart goes out to the familys. There needs to be stiffer laws and mandatory 3 month sentance on first offence. The drunk driver that hit me was 78 and he killed his wife 76. It is a national crisis. May peace come to those family memebers that have suffered a loss do to the senseless act of drinking and driving.
