Diane Atari Says She's Innocent

http://www.wjla.com/news/stories/0709/641425.html

Atari Quotes:
"I have no faith in the judicial system whatsoever in our country"

"There is no possible way that I could be doing what they have accused me of because simply I am a real estate agent -- I do not do mortgage loans"

"And I feel that you know they singled me out among the rest of the home buyers throughout the United States and that just simply is not fair. One person could not do what it is that they are accusing me of."

Illegal Alien Gang Activities in Loudoun

A 22 year old man was stabbed repeatedly in Sterling Park on July 4th. The ever presence and growth of these organizations in Northern Virginia is well documented and evidenced.
