>> Ha ha! You consider someone with a Border Patrol cap a criminal? That’s rich. <<

That’s like Colenol Mustard saying, “You consider someone with a candlestick a criminal.”

Out of context, no, it is legal to own a border control hat, even an official one. (And I did find on the internet that they did find such a hat.)

Out of context, the guns are also no indicator of criminality. Or the body armor. Or is the photo of Jesus Malverde. Or the stashes of cash. Or the fact that someone had been posing as a law enforcement officer to raid neighborhood homes. I was perfectly inclined to believe that even the fact that he was pointing a gun at a SWAT team was simply a foolish decision that resulted in a tragedy. Or that his wife hadn’t meant to make false statements to the police when she claimed that they hadn’t run a siren.

Any one of these could just be happenstance.

Together, it doesn’t look good.

Oh we see. When the Marine got off duty from his 12 hour shift at the mine.....he kicked in doors as a home invader. Pfffff.......

If you haven't do so already, you should read “Three Felonies a Day” by Harvey Silverglate. Give an experienced investigator a day and he/she can nail you with at least one felony. You may think that is absurd, AND IT COULD NEVER HAPPEN TO YOU, but gee, dangus, your life (taken all together) may not look so good (no offense).
