#1 I get it, "How dare be successful gotta punish him so he stops."

#2 Second thought, name and investigate the lawyers suing him, put them out of the law business if at all posible.

#3 It would be nice of the plaintiffs were returned home as well.

#4 Jim I don't think you realize how far gone the legal profession is. I attended law school in Arizona and my college admitted a felon who bound two DEA agents, hauled them into the desert, and executed them. They justified his admission by claiming that he'd give his fellow students a "unique perspective" on the criminal justice system. We don't need to eliminate the lawyers, we need to eliminate the profession.

#5 It'd be interesting to know how many burritos the jury ordered for lunch during deliberations...

#6 We need to eliminate the liberal rot, AzCat. I don't know of a good way to do it other than to fire and deport all of 'em.

#7 How about adopting the Cowachin Legal Code.

#8 I've got some ideas on how to eliminate the liberal rot but it's going to require real commitment... Just sayin.

#9 All six plaintiffs are citizens of Mexico, five of whom are living in the United States with visa applications pending,

What the hell is this? While their visa applications are pending - in other words they are being allowed to live here ILLEGALLY? Shouldn't they be banned for life for violating the border?

#10 The US Government has betrayed this guy and his property rights for years by not securing the border. The betrayal continues by permitting him to be tried in a US court by foreigners. Unfortunately, I suspect we'll see more of this in the coming days.

This is an "Alice through the looking glass perspective." Criminal behavior is rewarded? Rancher Roger Barnett who defended himself and his property should be hired as an Adjunct Professor at this school by this reasoning--he has a "unique perspective" on the criminal justice system--defending your rights. Maybe he should have called an attorney for an "emergency lawsuit" when these coyotes traipsed across his property. WTF? We are becoming a nation of "attorney guided sheep." Citizen arrest is apparently a dead concept. Only police can make arrests?

#12 Mexicans (even illegals) outnumber and have more political clout than ranchers.

#13 Were I in this rancher's shoes, I would use an alternative technique to policing my land. I would invite some Apaches from the reservation to set up camp to investigate some "Apache religious artifacts" that might be there.

Of course, while they were camped there, it would be up to them to provide security against anyone intending to "loot" their sacred artifacts.

And, because Apaches see themselves as directly above Mexicans on the food chain, pretty soon word would get back to Mexico that my land is a place that Mexicans had better avoid.

#14 An inscription in a fence in South Africa: "Do you believe in life after death? Trespass and you will know"

#15 It strikes me that there should be some kind of Malfeasance or Dereliction of Duty case here against the US Border Patrol; it is beyond reasonable that this guy's ranch should have so many border jumpers that he can catch 3 a day, for ten years, by himself.

So if you want to protect what's yours, you can't let anyone go to the authorities.

It seems like a simple equation - can you buy some serious digging equipment for less than $77K?

Remember to dig at night.
