Wrong and cowardly but the Mexican invasion is 200 times worse and 200 times more cowardly. And weren't these Mexicans breaking into a cabin? Now they get to sue this rancher who was sick and tired of this criminal invasion and flipped
I don't think this will have a chilling effect at all for anyone who tries to patrol private land in a lawful manner.
Common sense says it will.
If US troops are put on the border and authorized to use deadly force against drug smugglers this will be fine by me. I hope the border gets mined too. Big "Peligroso" signs can be put up and let the chips fall where they may.
From the article I posted in reply #10:
Brown said he then marched the two men back to the caliche road and down to a neighbor’s ranch, where he reported the break-in. He then left before authorities arrived.
But Letsinger said that when he took Brown back to the cabin later that night he could find no sign of a break-in, nor could he find any human footprints over a stretch of soft earth that Brown said he and the Mexican men had traversed.
“He said it must have been the weather,” Letsinger said of Brown’s explanation for the absent footprints. But Letsinger said other footprints and tire tracks made that day had not been erased.
In summing up the case, Letsinger testified, “I can find no reason why Coy Brown shot at either one of those men.
I would guess that the illegal tried to run and Brown shot him.
