Brother of cop murdered by illegal immigrant over Christmas thanks police, weeps uncontrollably

Brother of cop murdered by illegal immigrant over Christmas thanks police, weeps uncontrollably


Reggie Singh, the brother of murdered police officer Ronil Singh, broke down in tears while thanking law enforcement for arresting illegal immigrant Gustavo Perez Arriaga using Ronil’s handcuffs.

“Please bear with me. This is not easy for me,” Reggie sobbed at a press conference yesterday. “Ronil Singh was my older brother. Yes, he is not coming back.”

Reggie continued: “There are a lot of people out there that miss him. And a lot of law enforcement people that I don’t know who worked days and nights to make this happen.”

Even in his lowest moment, Reggie expressed his gratitude to the police officers who worked around the clock to apprehend his brother’s murderer.
“I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this happen. I wish I could thank all of the law enforcement agencies, Homeland Security in San Francisco, everyone.
I was waiting for this to happen. I’d like to thank you — working day and night to make this happen.”
As BizPac Review reported, Officer Ronil Singh, 33, was a legal immigrant from Fiji who was shot to death the day after Christmas by illegal immigrant Gustavo Perez Arriaga during a routine traffic stop.

Arriaga — who was a member of the violent Sureños gang — was suspected of driving under the influence. He opened fire on Singh after the officer called in the stop.

Gustavo Perez Arriaga  (photo below, on right) entered the US illegally through Arizona several years ago. He has two previous DUI arrests.



Gustavo Arriaga’s brother Adrian Virgen (left) and co-worker Erik Razo Quiroz (middle) were also arrested for lying to cops about Arriaga’s whereabouts.

Police also arrested Arriaga’s brother Adrian Virgen, 25, and co-worker Erik Razo Quiroz, 32 — both of whom were in the US illegally — for allegedly helping  Arriaga escape police.

“We had them in custody (on Dec. 27) and asked for their cooperation and they lied to us,” Sheriff Adam Christianson said at a press conference.
Ronil Singh’s tragic death could have been prevented had there been a wall in border state Arizona, where Arriaga jumped the fence to enter the United States illegally.

Democrats refuse to fund the wall, calling it “immoral and expensive” while blithely ignoring that illegal immigration costs US taxpayers $113 billion every year.

That’s 22.6 times more expensive than the $5 billion President Trump is asking to fund the wall.

In addition to allowing illegal immigrants, drugs, and human trafficking, the border wall enables the murders of 15 Americans every day.




Democrats shamelessly prioritize the interests of illegal immigrants over US citizens and legal residents because they want to expand their voting bloc after alienating the middle class and many minorities with their radical, anti-American policies.

While President Trump spent Christmas working in the Oval Office and visiting US troops in Iraq, top Democrats like Nancy Pelosi jetted off to Hawaii,  where she luxuriated at a posh hotel and sipped daiquiris by the beach.
Thanks, Democrats!
Rest in peace, Officer Ronil Singh. You did not die in vain.

Our Lady’s Power at the Time of Death

Our Lady’s Power at the Time of Death

In her City of God, Venerable Maria of Agreda, a XVII Century Conceptionist nun and mystic, to whom the Blessed Mother dictated her life, writes of a marvelous event in the early Christian Church.

After the first Pentecost, one of the five thousand first converts was a girl called Lillian. One day she fell gravely ill, and the devil, capitalizing on her bodily weakness, and the fact that she had given in to a few sins, took the form of a woman, and paid her sick-calls.

Little by little, by slandering the disciples of Jesus and the Christian community, the fiend introduced doubts in Lillian’s mind about her new-found Faith. At first the sick girl resisted, speaking of the peace and kindness of the beautiful lady who was Jesus’ Mother. But the devil assured Lillian that she was the worst of all. In the end, Lillian gave up her Faith.

One of the disciples of Jesus on visiting and finding Lillian’s attitude changed, tried to win the girl back to Christ, but to no avail. Deeply concerned, he informed the Apostle John.
St. John immediately visited the young woman and was able to see legions of devils surrounding her sick bed. Though the devils recoiled at his sight, so deceived was the girl, that he could not make a difference.

He then had recourse to the Blessed Mother, who, at the time was living in Jerusalem. On hearing of the case, Mary Most Holy implored her divine Son for the welfare and salvation of this young strayed lamb. She then made ready to visit the girl with St. John.

Just then, several angels appeared, and gallantly ushering Holy Mary onto a throne of clouds, carried her to Lillian’s side.

As soon as the great lady set foot on the threshold of the sufferer’s door, the demons infesting the room took chaotic flight, tripping over each other in their haste, and seeking refuge in the depths of Hell.

With the air cleared, Holy Mary sat by the dying girl, and with gentle words sweetly brought her back into her Son’s fold. Lillian wept tears of repentance and asked for the last Sacraments, which St. John administered. Thus, with her Mother holding her hand, Lillian expired.

As if not enough, Our Lady, with her prayers, made up for the girl’s time in Purgatory, and summoning one of her angels, bid him deliver the purified soul to heaven.
So, when saying the Hail Mary, may we stress: “…pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.”

PEACE OF SOUL QUOTE--ARCHBISHOP FULTON SHEEN

🙏Peace of Soul’ (book) Quotes—

As all men are touched by God’s love, so all are also touched by the desire for His intimacy. No one escapes this longing; we are all kings in exile, miserable without the Infinite. Those who reject the grace of God have a desire to avoid God, as those who accept it have a desire for God. The modern atheist does not disbelieve because of his intellect, but because of his will; it is not knowledge that makes him an atheist…The denial of God springs from a man’s desire not to have a God—from his wish that there were no Justice behind the universe, so that his injustices would fear not retribution; from his desire that there be no Law, so that he may not be judged by it; from his wish that there were no Absolute Goodness, that he might go on sinning with impunity. That is why the modern atheist is always angered when he hears anything said about God and religion—he would be incapable of such a resentment if God were only a myth. His feeling toward God is the same as that which a wicked man has for one whom he has wronged: he wishes he were dead so that he could do nothing to avenge the wrong. 
The betrayer of friendship knows his friend exists, but he wished he did not; the post-Christian atheist knows God exists, but he desires He should not.

  The darkening that comes with the year’s shortest hours of daylight is like the lowering of the lights in a theatre as the play is about to begin. But in the “Drama of Salvation” by which the human race is offered the promise of restoration to its original glory, “all the world’s a stage,” and the acts and actors are real. The creation of the world was not a mere myth, otherwise we would not be here. Nor are good and evil abstractions, for they always have had real consequences.  
   One of the most dramatic events in the progress of man, to which Saint Jude would later allude (Jude 1:7), was the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah about 1,700 years before the birth of Christ. He knew that the story of that destruction was not the sheer theatrics of fiction. Until recently, it was convenient for some scholars to pass it off as an instructive legend. Archeologists in a symposium this past month concluded that those cities north of the Dead Sea were utterly destroyed, and their land became uninhabitable for the next six hundred years. The substantial theory is that upwards of 60,000 inhabitants were wiped out by a meteor exploding at low altitude with the force of a ten-megaton bomb, dropping platinum and molten lava on the larger area called Middle Ghor, and unleashing a temperature the same as the sun. 
   Wise ones interpreted this as punishment for the corruption of that culture. There is a symbiosis between matter and morality. When souls are disordered, there are consequences in all creation. So it was, that at the climax of the Drama of Salvation, when Christ died on the cross, the sky grew black.  
   It has been quipped that if God does not punish our culture for its decadence and contempt for natural law, He owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology. It was to save us from total destruction that the Word, whose utterance brought all things into being, became flesh and then appeared on a day now called Christmas. 
   Twice did our Lord speak of Sodom, saying that its fate was less severe than that of anyone who by an act of willful pride, rejects Him and all that He requires in the way of obedience to His truth (Matthew 10:15; 11:24). Such severity is the outcry of the Christ who wants that none be lost and that all be saved. This is a reminder never to infantilize the Babe of Bethlehem for, while He may whimper in the manger, this is the Voice that made all things and judges all at the end of time. And in His humility by making Himself frail and fragile in a stable, He reveals a mercy more powerful even than an exploding meteor.  
   “For their sake He remembered His covenant and showed compassion according to the abundance of His steadfast love” (Psalm 106:45).
