British illegal - murderer
 
This is a tragic story. The University of Washington stalker/murderer was a British citizen and an illegal.
His American dream didn't amount to much - what a sad life. I wonder why he chose that kind of shiftless life here - we'll probably never know.

I live in Seattle and have been following that story closely, what a tragedy, that poor woman. Our local paper has more information today about the shooter, Interpol thinks he was born in Leicestershire.

Seems he really went to town, with fake passports and the works.

Sad life? He chose it. He's a piece of shit psychopathic murderer ...... the only sad thing is that he's alive and some poor innocent woman is dead. His American dream is going to become a nightmare of astronomical proportions when he enters the US prison system.

What a shame that Seattle police didn't check his immigration status. You'd think with all the hoohaa that's the first thing they would have checked!

It's not allowed in WA state unless they have a good suspicion he is here illegally :rolleyes:

Hello fellow Seattle folks. I've been here for about 12 years, first came in on a student visa in 93 (year of Grunge). Got married a few years later to an American. Love Seattle, especially on warm days like today!

Leslie66 - I agree with you! I meant sad in the sense of pathetic wasted existence etc. I don't feel sorry for him. Obviously feel for the woman's family and friends. It's just that I couldn't figure out why he would have chosen to live here like that - it's not like he was wealthy or anything or had a better standard of living than in the UK.
(For instance - I can understand somewhat why the illegals from Mexico/Central America do it. Most of them are sending chunks of their paychecks home to support families).
The thing that crossed my mind was - perhaps he had done something bad in the UK years ago and had tried to get away from that?

only ICE officers are allowed to ask your immigration status and to see a greencard....Mass tried to let cops have a peak, but I don't know what came of it, probably nothing because fedral law trumps local I guess.
