#1 Wonder if they pointed out the would be robber that in their faith two thieves accompanied their master that day. Or as the Romans would say - nail'em up. It deters repeat offensives.

#2 "... no charges are being laid against the church members."

No charges for beating the robber. And no charges for immigration violations? In this case, I guess it's a fair trade.

#3 There is no evidence that these men are here illegally, Glenmore. Just my opinion, but I don't think it's the evangelical Christians from latin America that we need to worry about.

#4 There's almost never evidence any immigrants are here illegally; law enforcement either can't ask, can't follow through if they do find out, can't cooperate with other agencies who have authority to act, won't follow through even if they do have authority. I actually agree that immigrants such as these, legal or not, likely pose no threat (unless you're a robber), nor do many/most others, but we ignore the immensity of the illegal immigrant phenomenon at our great peril.

#5 No, no, it's your OWN cheek you're supposed to turn.
