We need to get the death penalty real fast - no appeals - and fry this guy.

You wont get the death penalty. Bloomberg is outlawing anything that might harm you.

Go figure! then they need a more strict punishment don't go light on this punk!

heard he claimed...he was being pursue by someone wanting to kill him before the wreck...that was why he fled after the wreck...go figure...

I wish we could go back to the days of when someone was irrefutably guilty was hanged. He killed three people and in another article claimed he was running from another person who threatened him. I call BS and if he wasn't another stupid uneducated stereotype, he'd not be in this situation.

I'm surprised the idiot didn't high tail it to Mexico. But, it is New York City and he is one of the protected classes, so Bloomberg will probably just tell the police to fine him a couple hundred bucks and let him go.

They should put him in a CAR COMPACTOR!

Give him a rope put him in a cell of BUbba's see which road he takes :)

Three good people dead because of a POS like this @!$%#. Maybe "looneyberg" should ban creeps like this in his quest to "protect" everyone! Liberals.....................

So, New York doesn't have a death penalty for these miscreants.

But Bloomberg bans salt in restaurants, trans-fats, Big-Gulps and now he's after loud music through your earphones.

Liberal La-La Land must be such a dark and dank place to live.

lock that pile of craap up with a big black dude. and come on-they couldnt find a better picture of the victim without that big, stupid hat? poor guy

was he ridin' dirty...

To Mark S-971793,

You anti-Semitic moron, your claim that the Jewish victims were too cheap to take a "legal taxi" or ambulance is ridiculous. They took a livery car, which means a limousine, which is more expensive than taking a regular taxi, and there is nothing illegal about it. It is also a larger car which could be sturdier than a taxi in an accident. And since the woman was simply not feeling well, she apparently did not believe it was such an emergency to warrant calling an ambulance and tying up the emergency response department's staff and resources to get her to the hospital that way. As for your claims about the limo driver running a stop sign, you seem to have made that up.

Scum, absolute scum. Big deal, he turned himself in. He was on the lam long enough for all the alcohol or other drugs to be washed out of his system.

And @Norman - "the big stupid hat" as you call it is part of their wedding ceremony. You may not like it but it is part of their religious custom. I imagine he was proud to wear it as he was marrying his wife. It's not nice to jeer at someone else's religious customs.

This thing is totally worthless and of no value. I hope its existence ends very soon.

MarkS

Oh shut up! Your repetiveness is annoying and only gives everyone the chance to see all your grammatical errors.

Mark,
You're an idiot. You don't live in NY. Anyone who actually does would know that the Camry is a perfectly normal car for a cab and approved by the TLC, along with several other models you probably don't believe could be taxis. Everything you said about the driver is pure speculation on your part and hasn't been reported in the NY media, however, judging from your, "IT WAS A CAMRY NOT A TAXI" assessment I don't really have much faith in you. And by that I mean none. Zero.

Moron.

A livery cab is usually a nicer sedan like a Limo or Lincoln..instead of being paid by the mile like a taxi cab.. a livery cab is a set price. Either way, 3 people are dead and a community mourns.

To Mark, Where are you getting all of these facts you are stating as I have not seen any of them, not saying they are false.... I can tell you it takes a tremendous impact to do this type of damage. It has nothing to do with religious beliefs or any other factor on these inocent people. If there is a case of some type of negligence on their part it appears that they and thier families are paying a great price, not to mention the death of a child. Think about that when you post.

.

Couldn't just keep him in jail after he killed someone. Now he's killed 3 more people - there's something wrong with that!

This article mentions nothing as to WHY he was speeding. Yes he's had a DUI, yes he was convicted of manslaughter and served time in the past (for a man whom inspired 50 cent..yeah..great guy I suppose), yes he is guilty of this horrendous hit and run.

1. Thank GOD he has enough of a conscience to turn himself in. Who else ever does that!? He had no idea they had died until he saw it in the news, and is grieving for his mistake.

2. He was running for his life from someone trying to shoot at him! Wouldn't you drive fast to get the hell away from a crazy with a gun too??

Before we all declare to "fry him", maybe we should chill the f out and wait for more facts to come. This article is only bits and pieces, all of my above quotes are from articles I have already read about this case.

Hypocrisy of the worst kind. He killed a baby and his ass should pay heavily for that as well as the other innocent people he killed. . However if some rip choose's to go to a baby killer they call a doctor it's fine. There is no line between the two.

Thank You Mark for the toned down response. Most of that I can agree with. If the Taxi driver was illegal in any way he is part to blame. If the BMW driver was at fault, from the article I read that the woman was ejected and thrown a good distance and the car was demolished, this If is a big obvious to me, then he has a big price to pay as have the victims.

Markhole -

You speak of the media being biased, yet you have left out the most crucial parts; witnesses have already reported that the BMW was driving at extreme speeds and could not negotiate the road. Regardless on where or what the other vehicle was doing this puts the BMW @ 100% at fault for dangerous driving. You also conveniently leave out the hit&run part which is also a felony, also the fact that he was NOT the registered driver nor was it properly insured!!! It was the BMW that was illegal to be on the road with THAT driver. Now Mark - please shut your hole!

and he'll be back on the street again in a while doing the same thing.

The courts will give him what he deserves. Three counts of manslaughter, min 30 years. proboly more since he has a record. case closed.

on another note, unrelated. that's one weird looking dude. no, not the killer, the victim.

there must be a way to ban that bmw assault car....we have to hold that car responsible, not the driver, or the drivers past actions, just have to get that car off the streets before it hurts more people....

I know it sounds stupid people, but REALLY, heres a guy, roaming around the streets, who has already shot and KILLED someone. And he is not the first REPEAT offender. by the time he gets strike 3, how many people will he have killed...how many is enough? He has now killed 4 people (well only three to the liberals), so, WTF? is this knothead running free because we are so "civilized" and or, "progressive"? The "civilized" thing to do is drag him to an open pit, put a bullet in his head, let his weight drag him to the bottom, and then fill in the hole. Not only would we be doing the "civilized" thing by sparing future people from being killed, we would also be reducing out national debt at the same time.

uhhhhhhhh.....yep.

@LawLaw You're an Idiot. A Livery Cab is not a Limo. It's called Car Service which means it can a be Van, SUV or any type of Car. Not all are Legal Either & it is way less expensive than a Regular Taxi. Besides many people that Live in NY don't take Cabs Unless they are Downtown. Sounds like You just made that up.

Illegal POS...

Why is it that liberals can't understand something that's so obvious to the rest of us; if you allow people from a country known for its corrupt, criminal culture and cesspool-like living conditions to come into your country, then eventually your country will be just like their country.

Why is this so friggin' difficult to comprehend? Were you distracted when your unicorn poked you in the eye with his horn?

Mark, sweety-

We all know it's medicine time and maybe nap time for you, so we understand that you're rather easily excitable. Much like my 10 year old sons classmate who wets himself when he gets over stimulated or has too much sugar; maybe it's time to press the call nurse button and ask for a binky, some prozac and a new nappy.

Now, I will attempt to explain things to you in teeny tiny words so you don't go all twitterpated like you've done all over most of the reasonable sane people who have tried to talk to you. Maybe they don't know how to talk to children, thankfully I have two so I do.

The bad man up there in the picture wearing orange? He was speeding. That means going very very very fast. He said he was being chased by more bad men and that was why he was speeding. He ran into the livery cab that you claim is illegal (you keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means, but that's okay we can go over definitions later). He killed three people by driving super fast and not stopping.

The Jewish people you seem to really hate a lot for no apparent reason (maybe you have trauma? We can talk to your nurse later about it, it doesn't make you racist however just incredibly stupid) were on their way to the hospital. Now, cupcake, calm down because I can see your poor veins throbbing, but it says nowhere in any article that they ran the stop sign. It says that the bad mans car ran it trying to get away from his apparent attackers.

He left the scene instead of staying. That's very very bad. For everybody.

Now there is a neat website that I found (all by myself! You can do it too!) called http://www.schallerconsult.com/taxi/newfb/defin.htm

All of those are legal in New York and in many other cities/states.

Now sweety pie, go ahead and call the nurse and get your meds.

Carryingconcealed, you said, "if you allow people from a country known for its corrupt, criminal culture and cesspool-like living conditions to come into your country, then eventually your country will be just like their country. Are you referring to the Italians or the Irish? Criminals come from every culture.

Seriously - who lends this guy a car?! She needs to be jailed and slapped with a huge fine paid directly to the families of these victims.

Are they legal?

is who legal the people that died are!! don't know about the idiot that killed them!

Whoa folks, this guy should be fried for sure but lending someone a car is not a crime (in general) And just to fuel the a different fire, that would be like charging gun owners with a crime if their gun is stolen and used in a crime.

It is extremely unreasonable to suggest that the person who lent out their car should be held liable. They didn't cause the accident, they could not have foreseen the accident, and it was not them who ran from the accident. If you lend me your pencil and I go stab someone in the eye with it, should it be your fault?

Sorry Gabs but this woman loaned a man with a felony conviction, who had just been arrested for a DUI the month before, her BMW? Seriously? If I owned a BMW I certainly wouldn't be "loaning" it to a guy like him who might crash it. That is why there has been talk on other articles that the owner of the car is suspected of insurance fraud for getting insurance for someone else and perhaps not really owning the car. Bottom line is that while you can't hold someone responsible for something that is stolen from you, she didn't have the car stolen. She claims she loaned it to the guy. She is at minimum guilty of really, really bad judgement and at worst, assisting a fugitive. This guy deserves to spend the rest of his life in jail. He's obviously a loser. 10 years in jail didn't teach him anything and now he is responsible for 3 more deaths.

For Gabs and Kevin - what this article doesn't tell you (but I have read on other news sites) is the lady who "lent" out the car is being charged with insurance fraud because apparently it wasn't a matter of "lending" the car out. She purchased and insured the car and rented it out for people who aren't insured or licensed. And THAT is a punishable offense in my opinion.

Hey Mark....yea you, Sea Monkey!......The Coward who fled the scene was doing sixty in a thirty....why don't you do the rest of us a favor...starve yourself and then.....Eat yourself....fn Seamonkey!

Sax1031------------ You make no sence, nor does anybody who thinks letting someone drive your car (with insurance) makes you liable or responseable. Unless they didn't have a license and you knew it.

I hate to tell y'all but YES she is liable for the murder of all three people. She lent that scumbag her car and she will be held responsible for their deaths. You know - just like a bartender who sells too much alcohol to a person; he goes out and kills someone.

Oh by the way - I am also wondering if he is legal. If he isn't ... sue Eric Holder! I would.

I feel for both families. They not only lost a sister and brother but also a grandchild and all the happiness that goes with that great event. They should throw the key away in this case.

Oh Mark s-971793 - go away... now.

Mitch-447800

Hey Mark....yea you, Sea Monkey!......The Coward who fled the scene was doing sixty in a thirty....why don't you do the rest of us a favor...starve yourself and then.....Eat yourself....fn Seamonkey!

Hey, watch it mitch, my favorite browser is called seamonkey!. No need to tarnish it's name..

The man turned himself in, it dose count for something because unlike all the hype and bravado that comes from law enforcement, sometimes they DO NOT catch up with people who don't turn themselves in. He also needs a trial and is innocent until proven guilty. As much as that burns people up, it is still true in today's world.

The guy's legal immigration status is not relevant in so much as American's cause accidents like this all the time. It really only matters that 3 people died.

@MARK S-971793, dude you are a Dick.

Lal & Unreg, stupid yes, illegal no and as we all know, you can't fix stupid

Very correct. The ignorant fool that gave out the keys should have a price to pay as well. Lend your vehicle to a stranger, pay a price. Lend your vehicle to someone with his past and apparent current issues and pay a price, either way...NEGLIGENT.

Good point mark. but that only means that the cab driver should be charged also, if he ran a stop sign. does not change the crime of driving too fast and killing people. maybe they will both share a cell. oh yeah, wearing seat belts is a really good idea. it's the law. it really does save lives.

George & Mark

Really George? Is mark your brother or Nazi supervisor in some way? OH, and BTW - It has been confirmed that the cab was sitting STOPPED at the intersection and did not run any stop signs or lights. - Also, seat belts DO NOT save you when your vehicle is t-boned at 60 mph, only a miracle can. So Mark do the world a favor and stay down before we must find you and put you down... (and take George with you)

He needs to be put down like the rabid dog he is!!

Does it matter that they're Orthodox Jews? Whatever their religious background, they were three victims.

Square Dude - In a perfect world.

@Mark - OK we get it. You hate Jews and are all for a drunk driving convicted felon because he is so much better that 3 {gasp} Jews. Yeah, we get it.

bigdogmom1 ... Mark shows up so many times spouting the same garbage; I'm beginning to think he's this guy's brother!

@Texas - you just may be right. He sure seems to have an agenda (and hatred for Jews).

Anything's possible in an infinite universe. Nevertheless, Mark is a troll. His Jew-baiting posts can be reported as being of No Value and Inflammatory. The box is on his post on the lower right next to the arrow. Click on it to open the options.

Mark, Again you are missing a huge point. Going very fast, PROBABLY caused the accident. If a person is going a legal speed this type of damage simply does not occur. Furthermore the average driver on the road make an assumption that other vehicles are travelling at a legal speed. If someone is speeding excessively there is no way to judge this and it takes away from your perception on how much time you have to enter into traffic. This would make it the BMW's fault. Think that thru.

yes, and in a perfect world, an ambulance ride 5 miles one way wouldnt cost $2000.00 dollars either, and Im sure obamacare will solve that........and yes Im kidding, it wont. So, a taxi costing less, loads up its passengers, one of whom is pregnant and not able to "strap" herself in, and drunken moron comes flying down the street at double the speed limit. wow, somehow someone can twist this into the passengers fault. Amazing......

Having a cold one!

Under arrest for Insurance fraud as it pertains to the vehicle...

Both winners. /end Sarcasm

Seriously? He's an asshat. How's that for an insult for the murderous driver?

Must of.

Must HAVE.

People who write "of" instead of "have" are people who rarely read. They should equally rarely write.

TL/DR

So, you are saying the punishment for ANY crime should be life in prison? If not, just curious as to which ones you would change to life in prison.

JS If you're that damn dumb, don't waste comment space!

CC, please explain as to what is "dumb" about that question.

I think they were referring to cases as extreme as this one and Acevedo's past crime.

RB,

Fair enough. "They" want life (or execution?) for manslaughter. That's all I wanted to clarify.

i am not overflowing with the milk of human kindness at this point. He shot someone to death earlier, his excuse for this one is that a "foe was shooting at him.

Do you know what the recidivism rate is for those who are executed? That would be ZERO.

it looks like Acevado's past was avacado green !as in ugly

Get a law degree before you speak any more about things you know nothing about.

There is no flaw in the concept of manslaughter. The flaw lies with your lack of understanding. The concept has been part of law since the 7th century. I imagine that's news to you, as you probably think the idea was invented during your lifetime.

The application can sometimes be flawed, but that's a problem with people, not concepts.

Pick up a book, or learn to Google. Learn something.

Screw life sentences!

Execution saves the legal, hard-working, law-abiding American taxpayer in mores ways than ONE!

I certainly feel that evil cretins exist amongst all races and creeds. But I must admit, this turd really does just look like a piece of @!$%#.

He looks like George Raft.

Are cars designed and built to kill? Nope. Guns? Yup.

NY even let the ILLEGAL TAXI DRIVER out to kill as he is at fault for running the STOPSIGN ,the passengers got killed by his actions and failing to wear the seatbelts while driving like a maniac ,the BMW had the right of way and had no STOPSIGNS ,THE JEWISH COUPLE should have taken a LEGAL NYC TAXI , or even a AMBULANCE as she was 7 month pregnate,guess they were too cheap ,and paid with there lives instead

Mark S; Does the "S" mean stupid?

I think it stands for S_H_*_T for brains.

Anti - Semitic

MARK S-971793 for all that is @!$%#ING HOLY would you SHUT THE @!$%# UP??

NO body gives a flying @!$%# what the @!$%# you think about ANYMORE. You have given your point OVER AND @!$%#ING OVER. AND THOSE POINTS ARE MADE THE @!$%# UP ANY DAMN WAY.

I WORK IN LAW: IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THEY WERE JEWISH, AFRICAN AMERICAN, ORIENTAL, WHITE OR STUPID, LIKE YOU - the person driving the BMW is at fault because he did NOT have a drivers license, he WAS drunk, he had been stopped previously for erratic driving earlier that night, PLUS HE HAD A DAMN RECORD FOR DOING IT PREVIOUSLY - HE WAS DRUNK - PERIOD. And that was the ONLY reason that @!$%#er was able to continue on driving AWAY from the scene; which is also ANOTHER CHARGE - because he was drunk.

It does NOT matter if they, the "TAXI CAB DRIVER" Alien (your @!$%#ed up words) ran a STOP SIGN OR THAT HE WAS OPERATING UNDER FALSE LICENSE OR ANY OTHER BULL@!$%# YOU'VE MADE UP - WHAT THE @!$%# MATTERS IS WHO KILLED THIS FAMILY. IF ANYONE IS KILLED IN ANY ACCIDENT, WHEN ALCOHOL IS INVOLVED - THE ONE AT FAULT IS THE ONE AT FAULT; IT DOES MATTER IF THE VICTIM OF THE ACCIDENT RAN A STOP SIGN, A RED LIGHT OR GREW FAIRY WINGS AND STOOD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND YELLED RAPE ME - THE ONE THAT WAS DRINKING WHILE DRIVING IS AT FAULT - @!$%#ING PERIOD! ESPECIALLY SEEING THAT A FAMILY IS NOW DECEASED!

NOW - SHUT THE @!$%# UP. I AM sick of your @!$%#ed up stupidity of trying to be a @!$%#ed up troll.

AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE @!$%#ING NEWS OR FACTS BY REPEATING YOUR BULL@!$%# OVER AND OVER HOPING IT'LL CHANGE THE FACTS. YOU'RE A TROLL. YOUR KIND DON'T CARRY POWERS.

Mark you are the poster boy for birth control!

@ roseinwinter ,looks like that as$hole driving that BMW as well as the taxi driver who failed to stop and drive into the intersection are the poster boys for "birth control" as they both killed that child as well as the parents ! the MEDIA needs to post both sides of the story! BOTH DRIVERS KILLED THEM ALL BY MAKING BAD DECISIONS &BREAKING THE LAW. i wish the couple would have taken a AMBULANCE to the hospital ,they all would be alive. the baby is dead because the cab went thru the intersection WHILE a speeding BMW was approching ,cab driver is guilty of making a bad decision ,while the BMW driver is guilty of being a as$hole driver

Looser? True, but I'll bet he can spell "loser" correctly.

There are no "common-sense laws", there are laws though. Common sense is something some people exhibit and others do not...on the other hand every person is to abide by the written law of the land.

There is common sense in law, and some laws lack common sense...but there are no common sense laws that you or I must abide by.

mark go to bed or go drown yourself I as sick of you and your comments are you looking for attention poor baby dont any attention.

Can we start a poll? Would you rather have Mark (S_H_*_T for brains) drown himself or blow his brains out?

I'll start...

Suck on the barrel and pull the trigger buddy.

@less - come on let's not get drastic. Just let his mom put him to bed and we should all be OK

just let msnbc fail to report all the facts about the accident scene? go take a illegal taxi and kill yourselves too? there is a official NYPD report ,bet you will find out the TAXI had the stopsign but FAILED TO YEILD FOR IT

Does anyone know, were the victims wearing their seatbelts?
