Video: Close Encounters Above Central Park?
The Post has some statements that subway shooting suspect Raul Nunez made after his arrest. Nunez, an illegal immigrant (previously deported for a drug conviction) caught illegally using a student Metrocard, wounded two cops (pictured) with one of their guns and fired at another police officer, who wounded him. Nunez said, "I knew they were cops. They were trying to arrest me. I saw the [officer's] gun, and I grabbed it and went wild. I should have kept shooting, but the other cop shot me and broke my leg." He added, "I wasn't thinking of what I'm doing. I was just trying to do for my kids. I'm illegal." Yesterday, the NY Times pointed out that 400 of the 7,000 people arrested for fare beating have arrest warrants on them.

Outstanding. They should put his head on a pike in front of 1 Police Plaza.
Oh, yes, because shooting police officers is a great example for your kids.
also if you already have an outstanding warrant why do something attention-getting like jumping a turnstyle?
idiot
Worse defense ever. He did it for his kids....
What is fare beating? Is that fare evasion?
Given the financial conditions the city is facing, perhaps they should slow down the EMS delivery time from the crime scene to the hospital.
Hopefully his kids can budget that $2 he saved wisely.
Maybe they were trying to sodomize him with an antenna?
What a dumbass! If he would have played dumb then he probably would have walked away with a ticket. It's going to be a long time until he sees his kids again.
Common sense would tell you to stay on the down low and not play with the law if you're an illegal immigrant.
Common sense would also dictate don't take a cop's gun and shoot him. Unless Nunez is certifiable, he'll do the max.
the liberals want to send have flowers and peace signs. Did you get his mailing address?
The cop should have shot him a few more times and aimed for his head.
According to Mike Bloomberg, the city's economy would collapse without people like this. Clearly the oppressive and racist immigration laws are at fault here, not the shooter. He's the real victim.
Another poor undocumented immigrant, simply doing a job Americans wouldn't do. Indeed, police should just aim for the head of anyone who fires at them.
Time to remove his Penis so he does
not propagate more"kids".
Gee, my Daddy had a job and brought home
the paycheck,how unusual.
Nice to hear Nunez is healing up. Soon, he can finish his rehabilitation with a bout of Hep C and AIDS upstate.
