I don’t really see any difference between a migrant on your property and any other human being. If it’s fair game to shoot migrants, it should be fair game to shoot the Christian fundamentalists and Mormons knocking on my door.
Agree, but the context does matter here. Nogales is known for cartel drug (and human) smuggling. The article says the crossers on his ranch had been getting more aggressive(allegedly) so he armed himself.
The article also mentions that he saw 5 guys with large "backpacks" and rifles. That description is very likely drug smugglers (whose "backpacks" were actually 50-75lb marijuana bundles) and not just your average migrant crossers.
They also report hearing a gun shot.
But the article is sparse on how we get from that to the rancher "shooting over (allegedly unarmed) migrants heads" with a an ak47.
Especially because the timeframe was presumably "late lunch" aka broad daylight.
I'm always wary of jumping to conclusions because these stories are usually much more involved than headlines or even articles like this tend to let on.
All that can be true and they still don't make the person investigator, judge and executioner. I guess we'll see what the defence says at the trial - I'm assuming "feared for his personal safety" will feature heavily.
You're just trying to spread your anti-gun rhetoric.
Putting the hard work in for that Soros check!
