Mother of two boys: "Why my children?" to.....illegal immigrant from Mexico / pt 1

An illegal immigrant from Mexico was sentenced this morning to two, consecutive life terms in prison for murdering the children of a Stafford Township family that took him into their home.

In addition, Superior Court Judge Barbara Ann Villano sentenced Richard Toledo to 30 years in prison for kidnapping the children's mother, telling her that her boys were fine but threatening their safety if she didn't do what he said while, all along, he knew the boys were dead

.

"All of this is so cruel and depraved that it is almost beyond comprehension," Villano said in sentencing the 23-year-old defendant during an emotional, tearful proceeding that spanned about an hour and a half.

Toledo will never be eligible for release on parole for the murder of Zabdiel Gonzalez because the boy was 7 years old when Toledo killed him with a clawhammer in his family's home on Middie Lane in the Manahawkin section of Stafford Township on Jan. 19, 2006.

Toledo pleaded guilty Feb. 8 to the murders of Zabdiel and his brother Karlo, 14, and to kidnapping the mother of the boys, Wanda Gonzalez, after he brutally beat both boys to death with the clawhammer.

"'I still do not know what it was that we did to that man to merit such an act of hatred," said Carlos Gonzalez, the boys' father, while Toledo hung his head, never glancing at the survivors of his victims.

"'We fed him. We put a roof over his head," Carlos Gonzalez said of Toledo. "'We treated him as family. When he was out of work, we did not ask for anything from him and gave him understanding."

If these illegals couldn't find a job or a place to live they wouldn't be here. Landlords and employers (all republicans) exploit these people. The employers hire adult Mexicans with families and pay them minimum wage or less. The landlords charge the highest rent they can knowing full well there will be 30 Mexicans living there within a month. They have to share the rent because they don't make enough money to have a place of their own. The employers and landlords have already made their fortunes exploiting these people over the last 25 years, and now it's too late to do anything about it.

how gay bob, the little boys are dead, this family will continue suffering from this reprehensible loose, and you immaturely induce tasteless politics.

Toledo killed him with a clawhammer
"I want you to look into my face and tell me - why my children?"
"I want you to look into my face and tell me - why my children?"
"The murder of children is the most unspeakable crime," Villano told the children's parents. "I can only hope you have the strength to recover."

This animal kidnapping the children's mother, telling her that her boys were fine but threatening their safety if she didn't do what he said while, all along, he knew the boys were dead

republicans and democrats agree that BOB is a disgrace

That's right, idiot, you can place the blame for these murders squarely on the shoulders of the republican crooks who have been exploiting these people. Are you a republican slumlord yourself? Freehold has been a disgusting sanctuary town for 30 years, even before Lakewood.

Hey Bob, Could I as a republican make you murder or even contribute in any way for you to do anything illegal? How week minded are you? A person who murders is solely responsible for the act themselves. No political party took any part in what this despicable person did. The people that hire and provide housing for the illegals are from both parties. NJ is mostly a democratic state, the last time I checked. And the last time I checked most of the judges in NJ are democrats that let the criminals off easy. The only way this guy was let off easy is that he wasn't killed. May God bless the parents, may they find happiness throughout their lives. Jim R

Bob, your gayly caviler with your ASSUMED politics of these murdered little children. sanctuary town Lakewood and Freehold Boro are solid Democrat communities. These towns have done such a great job attracting this population, they are known to be friendly safe destinations south of the border.

OK, Bob made a real childish remark about "Republicans," but Petra why do you insist on using the word "gay" about him in your posts?

freeholder dear, "gay" is totally in context, gayly,merrily-joyful-cheerful and so on. caviler, someone who raises annoying petty objections. Gayly Caviler is totally in context here.

plus "Gay" is a modern idiom that defines something found to be odd, a queerness or an abnormality.

stay focused on the horrific murder please, not political alignment or language arts.

I don't need you to tell me what to post. Who are you to tell anyone to "stay focused?"

But I will get back on topic because I want to and will say this: Too bad NJ isn't like TX, with the death penalty. This guy should be fried.

Sorry Freeholder and no-1. Maybe Col. Mustard in the Boddy Mansion Conservatory has a clue but you two are consumed with Internet troll paranoia and the its sad that you both have lowered this thread to self purposed discourse.

Mother of two boys: "Why my children?", and your playing "Bingo", grossly disgusting of both you men.

Get rid of the illegals!!!! I worked for a pc company. You walk into a home in Freehold with 45 people in 3 rooms. The First Aid squad is overrun with stabbings and public drunks.
Its political bs.
Freehold used to be nice 70-80s'. Now it's a dump like any other place in Jersey.

Hey all you ANTI-AMERICANS! Feel bad for this guy??? Isn't he one of those "poor, undocumented laborers" who just wanted to "better the lives of his family and himself by doing the hard, monotonous tasks that no American will stoop to..."???? Ya'll defend these people when they break our laws by crossing the border illegally, working in this country...illegally, NOT paying taxes (illegal), cramming 34 people to a house (illegal), pissing in public (also illegal), litter everywhere (illegal), loiter (USED TO BE ILLEGAL until some stupid-assed judge struck it down), and so on and so forth......now the guy does one other little illegal thing....brutally murdering 2 innocent American children with a claw-hammer and ya'll ditch the guy! Just when he needs you the most! Where are you people? Shouldn't you be in the court begging for leniency? Perhaps the appeal judge will be the same one who struck down Freeholds''no-loitering' law.......COME ON TOM! Why don't you defend this scumbag???
