Jury orders rancher to pay $77,804 to illegal aliens

This guy was on his own property. These illegal aliens trespassed on his land and he is required to pay them for punitive damages? This just all seems insane.

problem here is he didn't shoot them. he held them at gun point and detained them. moral of the story? shoot to kill, then there is only 1 side of the story to be told.

Wow, fuck that shit. Illegal aliens shouldn't have rights in our courts when they're in the wrong.

Things are going to get even worse for us Harrison. And yes, it's because Barry is in charge.

Sorry, but trespassing is not a capital crime, last I checked. Just being on someone else's property, if you are in no way offering violence, is in no way license for them to haul off and shoot you. That's ludicrous.

Why should you have to wait for violence to find you . You are missing the obvious as usual arlos and its really simple. If you dont want to get lit the fuck up or held at gun point dont be where you shouldnt be. To think ill of a man for defending his own disgusts me

the problem here is that he was stupid enough to do exactly what they wanted him to do by snapping and getting violent enough to put a gun to them. they're people and are smart enough to know that they have basic human rights even if they don't have legal rights - they manipulated him to do exactly what he did, and they win. if he doesn't have the brains to handle it in a more civil manner, /shrug. I'm no fan of illegals after going through the process legally, but the guy exhibited pure stupidity and a lack of self restraint. Also, I'm not sure why the focus is so much on how they're illegal - it says right in there that they have visa applications pending.. it's completely legal to be in the states during your pending application depending on if you filed while you were here. Just because you're not a citizen or a permanent resident doesn't mean that you're illegal. Sensationalism at its best?

they're no immediate threat to him, he could've handled them in a thousand better ways. The fact is he's been profiling trying to stick it to anyone he believes to be illegal and his obsession is biting him in the ass. It's unfortunate that these people are getting paid off, and I don't think they should be, but maybe next time he won't honestly think that the best solution is busting his gun out and he'll utilize common sense.

eh, I don't have an issue with him holding them at gun point, calling the cops, and turning them over

I think he's perfectly within his rights to do it that way

I agree with arlos tho, he doesn't have the right just to start blasting away

Jay, Harrison, I dunno. he may be trying to bait but the consistancy and depth of his ignorance and stupidity and the willingness to demonstrate it may one think otherwise.

This guy's land, his cattle, and his water supply have all been ruined by illegals crossing the boarder to enter. They leave trash all over the place. They stabbed holes in his water tank. He has even gone as far as to put a tap on it to prevent further damages. They also killed his cattle!

This is an outrage.

I thought you put him on ignore? Shut the fuck up already Evermore, we all get it, you can't stand Mindia. Your little elementary school crush responses to every single post he makes are just as, if not more annoying than anything Mindia has to say.

If every person who trespassed on property that did not belong to them was killed for it, we would have a whole lot fewer people in this county. This individual has every right to defend his property, however he should expect that he will be held liable for his actions against any individual regardless of whether they are an illegal or a us citizen.

How would any citizen be treated if they held at gun point every person that came to their front door uninvited? I bet if I held the jehovah's witnesses at gun point until the police arrived to take them off my property I would be considered the bad guy. What if I just opened up and shot them? I bet you I would get tried for murder even if they were trespassing on my private property.

They leave trash all over the place.


Littering is a capital crime now?


Some 6 year old kid sneaks into my back yard to steal an orange off of my tree, am I within my rights to pull out a shotgun and blow him away? How about if it's an adult? After all, they're trespassing and stealing, right? They're on my property! Can I run out there with a dog and a gun show them a fake badge, hold them prisoner for hours, and threaten their lives while I wait for cops to arrive?

Somehow, I don't think so. Yet that's pretty much exactly what this guy did.

Mindia, I am most disappointed. When was the last time I personally insulted you? When have I been anything but nice to you for ages and ages? Yet you out of the blue come at me with personal insults? :(

Cops told me if I catch nigglets on the roof of my garage tearing off shingles and throwing them in the yard again to physically throw the worthless fucks off of it.

My Harrison, that post was a wonderful example of your non racist beliefs! I'm so proud of the fact that you are a representative of our country via military service.

I don't like illegals, here in the DC area it's a growing problem. We have had entire communities up in arms because of day laborer issues and it's not getting any better. Something needs to be done to stop people who are illegal from doing whatever they so choose, but harming them is not the answer.

I think that the guy was within his right to detain them, but only if he called someone right away and the situation was handled quickly. I don't think that anyone should have the right to harm trespassers unless they are obviously committing violence. But detaining until police can be called and/or removing said trespassers should be within any citizens rights.
