EMORY, Texas - A 16-year-old girl, her boyfriend, and two other friends plan and carry out the brutal murders of the girl's mother and two young brothers. Her father is attacked as well, but he survives the five bullets they shot into his body and the fire they set to his house.
HOUSTON, Texas - A 17-year-old fatally bludgeoned a pregnant woman with a baseball bat in an altercation over a minor fender-bender accident.
MEMPHIS, Tennessee - A convicted killer recently released from prison killed his brother during an argument then killed the five people who witnessed it. Two of those killed were children. He critically wounded three other children who, so far, have survived.
CHAPEL HILL, North Carolina - Eve Carson, a 22-year-old student at the University of North Carolina, was found dead on a street about a mile from campus. She had been shot several times. The Chapel Hill police chief says it appears she was the victim of a random crime.
AUBURN, Alabama - An Auburn University freshman was found shot on the side of an off-campus road, and her car was found burning in a campus parking lot last Tuesday.
ORLANDO, Florida - A mother was videotaped spraying her 2-year-old daughter with a high pressure hose in a carwash. She said the child was having a temper tantrum.
GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas - Steven Baesa, 19, fled the scene after his SUV flipped over several times on Interstate 30, killing 19-year-old Jackie Martinez in the 2 a.m. accident. Ms. Martinez was the mother of a 5-week-old son. She was thrown from the vehicle and hit by at least two other cars. A 14-year-old passenger in the SUV brandished a gun and tried to carjack a man who had stopped to help. Baesa has previous convictions for family violence and drug offenses. (I want to know what the unmarried mother of a 5-week-old child was doing out at 2 a.m., but that's another blog.)
AUSTIN, Texas - U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks has ruled that the Round Rock school district may not allow students to vote on having prayers at graduation following votes by seniors at McNeil, Round Rock, and Stony Point High Schools on the issue. (The students wanted the prayers). Thank God we have a judge in office who has prevented such a heinous act. Imagine what this world would be like if we allowed kids to pray in public!

OMG GET A LiFE...JACKiE MARTiNEZ WAS A FRiEND OF MiNE AND A GREAT MOTHER. HOW DARE U SiT THERE AND TALK ABOUT HER BEING AN UNMARRiED MOTHER AND BLAH BLAH...CANT U SEE SHE JUST LOST HER LiFE...AND iN A HORRiBLE WAY AT THAT...AND UR GONNA SiT THERE AND TALK iLL ABOUT HER. HOW DiSRESPECTFUL CAN U GET. LiFES NOT ALL BLACK AND WHiTE...SHE WAS A SiNGLE MOTHER BECAUSE THE FATHER COULDNT STEP UP AND BE A REAL MAN SO SHE TOOK iT ON BY HERSELF.
I didn't say a single bad word about Jackie Martinez. I just wondered what she was doing out at 2 a.m. If there's nothing wrong with running around in the middle of the night when you have a newborn infant, what's wrong about asking? So, since you knew Jackie, perhaps you can tell us what the "great mother" was doing out at 2 a.m. instead of being home taking care of her child. I did say she was an unmarried mother, but if there's nothing wrong with that, why is it wrong for me to say it? And if she took on the responsibility "by herself," who had the baby while she was out "on a date" as reported in the newspaper? I certainly agree that her life was ended in a horrific manner, but that sometimes happens when one consorts with felons. She obviously had poor judgment in paramours (the father of her child and the man who killed her). As for being disrespectful of the dead -- death doesn't change the facts, honey, but it can certainly be used as a lesson for the living!
P.S., April,
I checked out your web page, and it's quite apparent you're a real class act. If your kids are as important to you as you say they are, perhaps you should spend a little less time posting raunchy junk on a website and a little more time being a positive role model for them.
To Amanda Garcia,
Sorry - I didn't publish your post because I don't publish profanity. If you want to make a reasonable argument in a reasonable tone, I'll be glad to publish. Otherwise, don't bother to comment.
To other readers,
The essence of Amanda's comment was that she didn't have to take anything off me and she completely agreed with April and I should mind my own business and I did profane the memory of Jackie Martinez in what I said (however, Amanda says she didn't know Jackie)and that I should be praying because I really need it. All of this was very heavily laced with more profanity than most sailors know and typed in that irritating style used by April (all caps with small i's and UR and OMG -- doesn't anybody know proper english anymore?). Another real class act!

Well, it's quite apparent Karen didn't like what I had to say. However, no one has yet said what I said that was so offensive. That she was an unmarried mother? That's just a fact. That she was out at 2 a.m.? That's just a fact. But by golly I sure can't argue with Karen that she knows english "real good." And gosh, I bet she must have a wall full of blue ribbons from all the spelling bees she's won.
So to all Jackie's friends (and I use the term loosely, because I noticed this comment of genuine grief on one of their webpages "Well, at least I didn't die LOL")-- unless you answer the question, "Exactly what did I say that offended you" (and I want an exact quote, if you have any idea what that means), don't bother sending me any more comments.
P.S. Karen, you said I shouldn't say she was unmarried. Was she married and I just missed that somewhere? I assumed she wasn't since she was on a date when she was killed.
Dear Essie May,
These are the exact quotes that i strongly dislike. (""great mother was doing out at 2 a.m. instead of being home taking care of her child.")("but that sometimes happens when one consorts with felons. She obviously had poor judgment in paramours (the father of her child and the man who killed her")
You have no right to talk about someone that you don't even know. You should do a little research before talking about other people. Since you are so curious about the things she did that night. Why dont you investigate and find out instead of assuming. And since you are so concern on who had the baby while she was out on a date it was her grandmother, and sometimes when somebody babysits a child or baby we call that a BABYSITTER. That is what some people call that in the United States. Jacqueline Martinez is no longer with us so with that saying can you please let her Rest In Peace. That will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for you time.
Sincerely,
Angelica Mendoza
Angelica,
I didn't call her a "great mother." I was quoting her friend April.
Are you saying she was not out at 2 a.m.? I will be glad to retract that with apologies if it's not true.
Are you saying she was home taking care of her baby at 2 a.m.? I will be glad to retract that with apologies if it's true.
(The next statement that bothers you was not even in my original blog. It was a response to April.) Are you saying she had good judgment in the men she chose? Tell me all the good things they did for her and the baby (before they killed her), and I will be glad to retract that statement with apologies.
As far as research, this was all reported in the newspaper -- I didn't make any of it up.
As far as letting Jackie Martinez rest in peace, my article was not about her at all except for one statement.
As far as me having a right to talk about someone, it's called the First Amendment Right to Free Speech -- "that is what some people call that in the United States." You should do a little research before trying to deprive people of their constitutional rights.
And still my original question is not answered. Why was she out at 2 a.m. instead of home taking care of her baby?
Essie May,
(Are you saying she had good judgment in the men she chose? Tell me all the good things they did for her and the baby (before they killed her), and I will be glad to retract that statement with apologies.) correction it's man not men because she was only with Steven when she was alive. Correction They did not kill her she was in a car accident those are two whole different meanings. I never said she was at home taking care of her baby at 2 a.m. I told you that her grandmother was taking care of the baby.
It will be my pleasure to answer your question. Jacqueline was out with her boyfriend sometimes when you are in a relationship you go out on dates that's just normal and who would of thought that it would end deadly. Don't you think she wouldn't go out on a date if she knew it was her last?
Jacqueline was a phenomenal soccer player who did a lot in her life she accomplished so many things and she got to travel around the world because of her soccer abilities and i know this for a fact because I played soccer with her. So if you want to write something interesting do a little research and write about that.
Sincerely,
Angelica Mendoza
I'm not sure I understand your comment, "She was only with Steven when she was alive." And I disagree with you that he didn't kill her. He was driving recklessly (under the influence?). Otherwise, why did this paragon of virtue flee the scene leaving poor Jackie there to die alone?
And I've been on many very nice dates in my lifetime, but I can't recall any that got me in after 2 a.m. (Excepting those times we went to the big city about 100 miles from where I live and had at least a couple of hours' drive time to get home).
I have another question: you all say Jackie was taking on raising that baby "by herself." Does that mean she didn't have a Lone Star card? She didn't live in subsidized housing? She didn't receive WIC or AFDC or any other form of government assistance? Because if she did have any of those things, she wasn't doing it "by herself." I and all the other people who stayed in school and work hard were helping her.
At any rate, I've had a couple of comments I chose not to publish. They are from people who say they knew Jackie, and they are quite graphic in what they say of Jackie's lifestyle. They paint quite a different picture from your impressions of her.
So, this ends this string. I will not post again, and unless someone gives me more than 1) I have no right to say anything bad about somebody who's dead, 2)Jackie was a wonderful mother, 3) I should let her rest in peace, we'll have nothing else published.
By the way, I have absolutely no control over whether or not Jackie's resting in peace, and neither do you. The only one with control over that was Jackie, and that had to have been taken care of before that car she was in flipped over. You all would do well to think of that -- we all will someday face death, and we better have prepared our lives for that moment, because it's too late once it's happened.
ok angelica didn't even like jackie. why now
