It's among the worst of tragedies happening in our world today. People become worse than most animals w/ a predatory demeanor & intent toward others when the going becomes all the tougher. I think if thay aren't born born evil that resorting to evil overtakes what conscience, if any remains, believeing harming & taking from others will help them to survive. I was a biologgy major. After raising my children, losing my most of family I can say that it is not only the genetically most fit who shall survive the days ahead, but the spiritually. My own mother nearly died 10 years earlier than God intended to take her as result of massive head trauma injuries, a fractured neck, 2 punctured lungs & lastly a fractured right arm. PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!!! My mother was in her 70s & she not only survived, we were blessed to have my same mother return to us w/ very little noticeable difference to her personality as it was proir to the accident which nearly caused her death. I called everyone we knew asking for prayer. We all traded off staying besde her bed for months. She & we received a greater miracle than we could have both hoped & prayed for. She did have to go thru extensive physical therapy & speech & occupational therapy, but God restored her! Had He taken then I would have lost my only surviving daughter & my son and I may also gone due to the pain from these losses. My heart, prayers & spirit go out Natasha and family! If you read this article and haven't heard of this atrocity, please remember the power the power of prayer & pray for her & her family. Pray as the Lord leads you or merely ask for complete resoratiion of Natasha's spirit, mind & body. What harms one of us has a corporate impact on the Body of Christ. It is a blessing to pray for each other. None of know what is around the corner for us and our loved ones when we, too, may need these prayers.

Business was taken care of in Chicago. Two Irish American Heritage Centers, both north and south side have raised an extraordinary amount of funds to take care of Natasha's medical bills and rehab and will continue until $ is not needed. As far as the offenders, they are Puerto Ricans.

A minimum 10 years of hard labor w/out the modern conveniences afforded the usual modern inhabitant of U.S. prisons. I think Heriberto Viramontes needs a long time inside to contemplate the error of his ways. In the meantime, a measure of normalcy for all the McShanes.

I've spent hours on our border with the Yuma Patriots. It took some time but the federal government finally finished the fencing along the border. But then everything kind of stopped, slowed down or hit "snags". You see, the US politicians do not understand that we are in a war. Be the illegal alien a Mexican, Guatamalan, Chinese, French, Irish, Saudi, or from wherever, they all need to be sent packing back to their country of origin. And as you know, we are having problems with drug cartels, alien gangs, and more.
I wish Natasha a speedy recovery and will remember her in my prayers. God bless her family.

Whatever their story may be .. illegals,poor,uneducated.. there is no excuse for what they did. Cowardly addicts do not need a reason.. This is why I am and always will be a firm believer in capital punshiment. If an animal turns on you it is put down, so it can't harm anyone else. Prayers and best wishes from the Hammel family to the McShane family.

Yeah, you can bet those two perpetrator dirtbags are illegal aliens. They don't belong with the human race and are the foster children of the lowlife politicans who refuse to close the gates to millions like them who are fast becoming a cancer in our society. I pray for the innocent Natasha and friend and hope for their speedy and permanent recovery. But don't let your heart be troubled, America is still full of decent human beings who will see those two young females through to full recovery

I am astounded by this! Such a lovely young woman who met such misfortune. I pray for her complete recovery & thank God for the medical staff who are helping in Chicago. It is becoming too prevalent that innocent victims are suffering at the hands of 'desperate street criminals!'
Is this the 'sign' of the times to come?? WORLD poverty is causing violent crimes to occur-everywhere!!
My prayers for Natasha, her family & others affected!!
