      XPost: alt.politics.democrats, alt.fan.rush-limbaugh, talk.politics.guns       XPost: sac.politics, alt.society.liberalism       From: yourdime@outlook.com              An Arizona father was tragically crushed to death while attempting to       repair his wife’s car, and witnesses to the accident shockingly stole the       victim’s valuables instead of helping, leaving his family devastated,       according to police.              The incident happened June 17 in a Phoenix parking lot, where Jeronimo       Garcia Guerra was working beneath the broken-down car when his jack       collapsed, leaving him trapped for several hours before a passerby called       911, investigators said.              By the time police arrived, thieves had stolen everything from Guerra’s       pockets, looted the car he had been working on, and even made off with the       vehicle he arrived in to work on the car that needed repairs.              Sprawled on the pavement, Guerra was left for dead.       Family members said they were outraged at the brazenness of the crime.              “He always believed nobody out there is going to help you. In this       situation, he was right,” Guerra’s son, Jerry Garcia Jr., told AZFamily.              The car broke down less than two miles from the family’s home as Guerra       drove his wife to work.              Later, Guerra drove his daughter’s car back to the parking lot where his       wife’s car had stalled out.              It’s not clear what was wrong with the vehicle, but it required Guerra to       get underneath to fix it.              Investigators said Guerra arrived back at the parking lot around 9:45       a.m., but it wasn’t until about noon that the police were called, his       daughter Monica Garcia told the station, admitting that she wasn’t exactly       sure how the tragedy unfolded.              Investigators have not said whether the car killed the man instantly or if       he was slowly crushed to death under its enormous weight.              Either way, no one called for help.              “Who knows when the car really fell on him,” Monica Garcia told the       station, fighting back tears. “Who knows how long he’s been under there?”              So far, police have not made any arrests, but detectives indicated they       were reviewing surveillance camera footage in the area, hopeful to       identify a suspect.              Heartbroken, Monica Garcia described the perpetrators as cold-blooded       crooks.              “After everything, they went through my dad’s pockets and my mom’s car and       took off with my car,” she stammered. “It’s hard because I would never do       that to somebody. I could care less about my car, but at least they could       have stayed there with him until help came. At least I would’ve known he       wasn’t by himself all day until somebody decided to say, ‘Oh my God, he’s       not moving.’”              A day later, the stolen car turned up abandoned near the crime scene, but       Guerra’s daughter emphasized that her father’s untimely death remained her       only concern.              “That’s somebody’s dad, somebody’s husband, a grandparent, somebody’s best       friend. He’s my person. And I don’t have that anymore because somebody       couldn’t stop and check,” she told the station.              The family has set up a GoFundMe to help cover funeral costs and to settle       Guerra’s finances.              https://atlantablackstar.com/2024/06/25/witnesses-steal-valuables-from-       arizona-father-who-died-while-pinned/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
