Honduran Kills Child with Axe

What have we come to when a little boy could get killed with an axe to the face
as he played outdoors with friends? Nine-year-old Jordin Paulder died Monday
night in Fulton County Georgia, apparently the victim of Honduran native Santos
Benigno Cabrera Borjas.
Three children were playing in the parking lot of the Chastain Apartments in
Sandy Springs early Monday evening when a red car with a wobbly wheel drove
through.
Jordin Paulder, a 9-year-old boy with chubby cheeks, called out to the
car's passengers to tell them of the bad tire.
Jordin didn't mean to insult anybody, he just thought they should know,
witnesses told police.
But the car stopped. A man got out and slammed an ax into Jordin's face.
Emergency workers were afraid to remove the ax during the helicopter flight to
Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite hospital, where Jordin
died.

When the police approached the crime scene, Cabrera Borjas fled to a nearby
apartment complex. After he broke an officer's arm by throwing a tire
iron (or maybe a 'rimmed tire' - accounts differ) and made
threats with an iron pipe, the officer shot and killed him.
Since the accused killer is dead, there will be no trial to remind the public
that illegal immigration is not a victimless crime - assuming Santos
Cabrera Borjas was indeed an illegal entrant. The authorities may not pursue
that detail, wishing to forget the whole sordid thing.
However, the killer's family already has a lawyer making 'police
brutality' and 'wrongful death' noises, so the ugliness
may continue. (Are unfounded lawsuits what the President meant today when he
called for immigrant 'assimilation'?)
Attorney Richard W. Summers said interviews with residents at the Chastain and
Chateau Villa apartments are 'leading me to the conclusion that [police]
may have shot the wrong guy and were over zealous and hasty in their
actions.'

Interestingly, in 2004 'The [Georgia] Supreme Court has suspended
Atlanta lawyer Richard W. Summers for 6 months' to discipline the
attorney for shady practices. Funny how these people find each other.
