This Rancher committed a crime. Now, he got off in criminal court just like OJ Simpson did. But he was "convicted" of the same crime in civil court (again, just like OJ).
He's out there breaking laws in such a way that he triggered a law giving the illegal immigrant "legal" status.
That's just stupid on his part. If you are going to go out there as a vigilante and pretend it's the Old West, then you are gonna have to live with the consquences that the modern world imposes upon that kind of action.
Now if you want to argue that the law that permitted the imigrant to become legal long enough to get into the court system and kick this guys ass in civil court... well... that's your choice. I am not going to dispute that assertion here.
However, rather than piss and moan about how I suck for being a liberal, why don't you get out there and do something about the law that you hate.
As it stands, this imigrant followed our laws (after getting pistol whipped for walking on land that he shouldn't have been on). And the appropriate outcome of that process is this rancher going to jail and these imigrants owning his land in the process.
If you can't see the humor in some guy going nutzo and beating the crap out of someone for "tresspassing" and getting his ass handed to him in court... well I can't help you.
But it's pretty funny.
I can smell THAT from here. The "immigrants" violated the law the second they stepped onto US soil, and they violated private proerty when they stepped onto his land.
You should be hammered for being a dumbass lib because you reek of it. Ignoring the criminal's act, yet more than willing to indict the righteous landowner for a trivial offense.
