I'm sure they wouldn't tell me --- and I'll assume the guy was shot for a suspected thought crime but did not actually harm anyone himself.
I'm assuming it has something to do with Alpha Centaurans invading our planet from their hidden moon base in order to plunder our nation's supply of dryer lint for their silicon-based reproduction needs.
The accounts that have been posted said that actions were taken that made them shoot the man. I am not sure what those actions were.
This is so backward, its nuts.
Meanwhile Al-Qaeda terrorist Adnan Shukrijumah is floating around free in Mexico and other places.
Another member of a border watch group in southern Arizona has been arrested by the FBI on weapons charges.
Ranch Rescue founder Jack Foote was arrested Monday in Sierra Vista on a federal warrant with the assistance of the Sierra Vista Police Department, said Susan Herskovits, a spokeswoman for the FBI's Phoenix office.
Nethercott's Arizona Guard was originally part of Foote's Ranch Rescue, a group that patrols private property along the southern U.S. border.
However the arrests of leaders of two border watch groups within a week were coincidental and unrelated, Raynor said.
The FBI said Kalen Riddle, who was with Nethercott at the time of the arrest, was shot twice after he moved his hands toward his waist as agents approached.
Riddle, 22, remains in critical condition at University Medical Center here.

Accused of vowing shootout with agents

TUCSON - A member of an armed civilian border group accused of threatening to have a shootout with Border Patrol agents is a danger to the community and will remain in federal custody, a judge ruled Wednesday.
At a detention hearing in U.S. District Court, prosecutors described Casey James Nethercott, 37, as a three-time convicted felon with a distrust of federal law enforcement and a "penchant for firearms."
An FBI agent testified that federal agents serving a search warrant Sept. 16 on Nethercott's property in southeastern Arizona found 15 rifles, three handguns, more than 500 poundsof ammunition and smoke grenades.
Nethercott's attorney accused the government of watching his client's ranch, once called Camp Thunderbird and used as a base for Ranch Rescue, a civilian group that aims to protect private property from undocumented immigrants crossing through the area.
"This is a political case," Nethercott's attorney, Jason M. Hannan, told the judge in Tucson.
