Imagine living on the frontier near the Mexican border on a large ranch with cartel traffickers invading every day. You are alone with your cattle day and night with no neighbors in close proximity, and you sometimes have to keep your lights off at night so that the cartels don’t notice you. Now imagine being charged with first-degree murder after finding a dead body on your ranch with no evidence that you killed the guy at all, much less that you wrongly shot him. The story of George Alan Kelly, while still murky and bizarre – whether the prosecution is justified or not on any level – still exemplifies the malfeasance of our government in surrendering our frontier ranches to the cartels.
Kelly, a 73-year old retired federal worker, was arrested at his ranch near Nogales, Arizona, the night of Jan. 30 after the body of an illegal alien was found a few hundred yards from his house. Kelly himself is the one who called authorities after discovering the body, and from day one it was never clear whether he even shot him, much less shot him with premeditated intent.
Chief Deputy Gerardo Castillo of the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office told the Nogales International the next day that the police did not clarify the circumstances or motive, the two appeared not to know each other, the police did no ballistics testing, and Kelly denied the crime and cooperated with investigators. Yet he was arrested, charged with premeditated murder, and held on $1 million bond, simply because their investigation "initially revealed that he had shot in the area.” He fired some shot at some time.

Persecution
He should change his name to Alex Baldwin.
death of protected class is guaranteed persecution
hope jury of his peers does their job
He should have just buried him and moved on.
The gov is not protecting citizens.. Every stranger coming on owned land, can be shot.
I’m fed up with the invasion.. US citizens rights are stripped by this gov today
Trump wouldn’t have allowed this to happen.
some people did something
The accused gave statements to Police and Border Patrol AFTER the gunshot death.
Rule #1....
If you shoot someone in self defense, NEVER talk to law enforcement.
Details are sure scarce in this saga.
That area is a no man’s land and might as well be in the days of the Apache wars. If it’s Pima or Santa Cruz counties, they are rat as hell.
Government is full of people who think Mexicans own the land - and whites stole it. This incident has to be understood in that context.
I have family in El Paso. People there have been living in fear.. Guns on the ready. The illegals care nothing for the people there and neither does our government. Self preservation in the middle of an invasion.. There may be decent ones but the huge majority are not the type we need here.. And neither are the drugs.
My brother knows the area and the people there
They are not to be trusted.
The cartel is on our side of the border now. Son Biden has a deal with cartel.. Open border pays.
Does anyone care!
The NUMBER 1 reason why States joined the Union was a treaty to defend it from all enemies, foreign and domestic. They have broken the treaty. We are just like the Indian tribes, promises made, promises broken.
I saw a report a few days ago that the cartels are in Minnesota now. Apparently that’s fine with the Potato and his corrupt administration.
**the cartels are in Minnesota now.**
MN is their enclave. There are places no US police are welcome
Cartel is paid by many businesses in the south border towns. Hunter has a deal set up.. They pay his acct to go back and forth.
The family is corrupt to the core. But the media and Dems would take that rather than Trump. That thinking will bring on the end of a great nation.
Why can’t the Minnesota Militia do a few ‘hit & runs’? There must be enough people left there to start a campaign to bury them.
