Aren't you against the death penalty for murderers?

I am against the DP. Not sure why I have to be an NPC robot though. I said I was conservative not a statist boot licker who thinks government should have power to execute its citizens. Big government tyranny you seem to crave is hardly conservative.

Here’s the portion that put him in jail:

B. A person may use deadly physical force under subsection A only in the defense of himself or third persons as described in sections 13-405 and 13-406.

Unless we're missing some facts, he's going to have a tough time defending this.

My first question is how did the authorities know?

Disturbed earth imaging is one technique.

We need mountain lions, alligators, coyotes, honey badgers, whatever we can find... on the border.

With my plan that wouldn't work. Poor defenseless animals would get killed or maimed with all the land mines and trip wires I want to set up.

Of course, but don't you think killing a man for it is a little extreme unless there is some threat to your life?

Appears AZ law feels different. This will be thrown out.

Proof of my point about the crappy writing in the Daily Wire article. People like this see a COMPLETELY INACCURATE representation of the law, they incorporate that representation into their worldview because it is consistent with what they WANT, and they act upon it.

Not considering the scope of illegals coming in.

But a friend of Kelly's told KOLD he has had issues with people on his property in the past, though he believes Kelly acted in the best faith.

Simply put, the excessive amount of illegal traffic at the border means that an encounter with illegals going bad for the homeowner isn't a matter of "if", it's a matter of "when". As illegals don't carry manuals detailing if they're friendly or not, asking homeowners to give the benefit of doubt to thousands is beyond the pale.

This is the difference between a person trespassing and almost constantly being under a barrage of people trespassing, breaking into property, doing damage, etc.

If someone lacks enough boundaries to enter or camp on property that doesn’t belong to him, I take that as the person lacks sufficient boundaries. Meaning, he intends to do me harm. I would feel threatened. It’s the rationale behind the castle doctrine. Which apparently exists in Arizona, even tho its selected idiot aging valley girl if does it

Going to be a lot of "Christians" in this thread applauding this act of violence.
