"The 2004 incident occurred close to a wash near Douglas when Barnett approached a group of 16 illegal immigrants while he was carrying a gun and accompanied by a large dog. Attorneys for the plaintiffs — five women and 11 men who had crossed into the U.S. illegally — say that Barnett held the group captive at gunpoint, threatening that his dog would attack and that he would shoot anyone who tried to escape."

 

So these folks jump the border illegally (felony), trespass on this guy's land (misdemeanor?), he catches them, holds them at gun point until CBP arrives, and he's the one who has to pay? Ridiculous!

Seems like there's more to this case than reported in the article, but one sentence really struck me:

 

 

The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund applauded the ruling against the “vigilante” rancher in a news release.

 

 

What business does the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund have in this case? Are Mexican citizens who illegally entered the country now considered Mexican Americans?

This is total BS, but not the first. There was a case in AZ that some boarder jumpers had some people in the group die because the didn't have enough water with them while illegally here crossing the desert, you really don't want to know how that one turned out.

he should have started a mass grave in the corner of his ranch instead.

FYI - illegal entry into the US is not a felony

FYI - illegal entry into the US is not a felony

Reminds me of Robert DeNiro in Machete.
