Jorge Bush must be deeply sadden.

[Vaquero]

but...but...but, how could this be a fair trial...were there any illegal aliens on the Jury?

and where was La Raza???

[norton]

Did anyone explain how they drew the difference between “detain for the authorities” and “wrongfully imprison”?

[dixiedarlindownsouth]

I want to start suing all of the illegals currently infecting our country for emotional distress. I am distraught at having to pay for their medical bills and food stamps. They will keep doing this as long as we let them use our Constitution against us. I have a problem with affording someone who crawled in under the fence this "right."

There is a lesson here folks and that is LEARN THE LAW. Texas is a great state and we have a capital punishment express lane and the ability to concealed carry. Hell, we can even openly display shotguns in the gun rack. You can shoot folks DEAD on your property and from your car if you are responding the reasonable threat of deadly force. It has never been okay to detain people at gunpoint unless you are a deputized officer of the law. This guy broke the law. The right to keep and bear arms is poorly served by those individuals that fail to learn their rights and obligations with respect to firearms. The crap this guy pulled was covered in the first 15 minutes of the concealed handgun course. The Right to Keep and Bear arms is a powerful right. With this great power comes great responsibility. Actions like this will be used by the looney left to revoke our God given right to self defense and self-determination in government. This guy got off light IMHO.

Those silly AP headline writers and their typos!! Here, I fixed it for them:

Jury says rancher didn't violate migrants' non-existent so-called 'rights' of multiple ILLEGAL ALIENS'

[rockinqsranch]

As I said in a previous thread, he should leave the pickup truck at home, and cruise the property with his shotgun driving a backhoe instead.

[headstamp 2]

Will the rancher appeal this or is it too dangerous?

[huldah1776]

Sounds like our legal system is becoming Mexicanized.

[Domandred]

Lesson learned. Ace em next time so you don’t have to pay em.

[JamesA]

He may pay his atty. and court costs but the rest...let them collect!

[wastedyears]

[Don Corleone]

So now a burglar or robber can sue the victim.

Isn't that what Obama and his cohorts are doing to us?

[MinuteGal]

The linguini-spined jury obviously felt it would be wracked by feelings of guilt if it ruled against either the defendant or the plaintiffs.......so it decided to take the easy way out by punishing both sides.

(Actually, the truth of the matter is that the jury members didn't want to return home after the trial to find their homes had been doused with tequila and destroyed by fire).

[longtermmemmory]

if the rancher can afford to post an appeal bond, the punative shoudl be reduced on appeal.

MOST punatives are reduced on appeal.

The judge may save us time by doing that.

I JUST PRAY there is no award of attorney’s fees against the rancher.

starve the immigration activist lawyers and these cases go away.
