I read in one of the articles that he is leasing the Gov't land where this incident happened. Still doesn't make it right though. I would defend his right to do what is necessary to defend his property, but it seems he is going way overboard.

I'd personally support him if he chose to sit on his property and shoot anyone who enters the property illegally. I might be a little extreme in that though.

reasonable? i don't know, but i'm fairly certain word would get out and his ranch would not be the preferred place of passage anymore.

And if his neighbors would do the same...

The unmitigated gall of these people offends me. If you think this guy's an asshole stay off his property and mind your own business.

Interesting. Well, I don't know what rights a leasor of gov't lands has, but if he lost a civil suit over the incident, they apparently don't include pointing a loaded gun at someone in front of their kids and threatening to kill them.

This one is nothing jinx. It has only been a couple years since someone tried suing arizona because there weren't water stations set up in the desert and the illegals were dying from heat exhaustion.

On the drive from Phoenix to Rocky Point, Mexico it is not uncommon to see a mexican pop up out of the bushes waving an empty water jug in the air. The border patrol checkpoints are at known locations so the illegals go around them and then come back to the roads.

What do kids have to do with it. If you break into my house with your kids you are no less likely to be killed. These illegal aliens are breaking the law everyday and people are just turning their heads. It is bull shit.
