Prayer Request

[Vyctorya911]

Please keep my family in your prayers. My cousin, Gary Harp, age 37 was killed

last week here in Arkansas. He was driving home and got hit by a drunk driver.

The driver did not stop at the scene and was later arrested after an 8 mile

chase by police. As it turns out, the driver who hit & killed him was an

illegal immigrant. My cousin left behind two young children, a wife and

countless family members and friends who dearly loved him.

The accused was charged with DUI & Vehicular Homicide. Bail was initially set

at 50,000 for the man who did this. However, after contacting our local

congreeman, several complaints from family & the community, the judge revoked

bail at the request of the D.A. due to the man being a flight risk.

I have contacted our senators and congressman who represent Arkansas to

encourage them to pass new laws that would deny bail to this who are accused of

felonies and here illegally. I pray that not only will justice be served but

that new laws coupled with the enforcement of existing immigrataion laws, this

will not happen to another innocent family.

I guess what hurts the most is that the driver fled. He didn't even bother to

stop and try to render aid or call an ambulance. Instead, he ran, risked other

people's lives who were in his path, leading police on a chase 8 miles down a

busy interstate that ended at this man's home.

Plaese don't misunderstand. I have no issue with anyone coming to this country

legally. But I do have a major issue with ones who come here illegally, further

break our laws, risk the lives of our citizens, take lives and have no regard in

general for human life when they choose to drive drunk.

It is a very tough time for my family. I am so thankful that my cousin was a

godly man, a good christian and will be with our heavenly father eternally.
