And what jury is going to convict? Or prosecutor indict?

"He denied holding them at gunpoint. Why deny it?"

Why?
Geez, I hate to have to be the one to suggest this, but... maybe because he didn't?

Yeh, he's just one of those sorry-ass vigilantes the Presidents always referring to! /s I don't think you have any idea what people along our southern border are dealing with.

The Bush vigilante comment was the one that really made me step back and take a good look at W. Our catch and release programs and our two faced policies on immigration really turn me against our governments. We have cities in this country that offer sanctuary to illegals. We have states that offer them benefits and ID. We have companies who offer the mortgages. I know what's going on. I really tired of reading dumbass comments from people who were blindly defending the rancher. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, but I still feel he could have done what the illegals said. I don't blindly accept the word of anyone, just because they are an American. Our own country screws us on taxes and immigration. Our citizens steal from each other and kill each other all the time. Why should I accept the word of anyone here. If the rancher is innocent, he will most likely be cleared. If he is guilty, I hope he rots in hell with the rest of the traitors. Does this clear up my position? Do you now think I get how bad it is? I seem to be the only one who really gets it. I understand the danger comes from within and from the outside. American citizens are undermining us as much as the government.

I'm guessing you have a bunch of Canadians running through your property, destroying fences, crapping in your yard and keeping you up all hours of the night, while you worry about the safety your family. LOL! NOT!

If I lived near the border, I would invest in razor wire.

i thought texas had the law that allowed for the shooting of trespassers?

[satchmodog9]

Did you read what I posted? Obviously you didn't. I want the damn border closed. We have as many Mexicans in the town here as any Texas border town. I really don't get it. I guess us Vigilantes need to do something about it. There was never a murder in the town until one Mexican knifed another last fall. We now have gangs in our schools and gang graffiti in Spanish. I taught my wife how to shoot and she is a better shot than most guys I know. I was just skeptical of the rancher. Don't make it sound like I want the brown swarm to infest us.
