Little more on Roger Barnett case
Here's the Washington Times story on the verdict. The reporter mentioned that his first story on the case got 2.5 million hits and generated 1500 emails, virtually all supportive.
Roger and I will be on Fox New's Glenn Beck show today at 5:30 Eastern. Right now I'm slowly working thru 50+ voicemails and 100+ emails that piled up during the trial.

This is indeed a travesty to penalize another for trying to uphold the law.
What would anyone do with a burglar?
Avgjoe: It went this far because, as I understand it, the MALDEF a-holes went to the 9th fed court on civil rights grounds ( which they then lost, BTW ).
If they had been dumb enough to take this to an AZ court they would have been horsewhipped.
I'm surprised that in the age of Google the reporter received such a positive response. Or perhaps I should be dismayed. Justice may have been served today, but this is the same Roger Barnett who came damn close to murdering Ron Morales for hunting while Mexican-American and daring to point out, using a map and logic, that he's on state trust land. A real ticking time bomb, and one who doesn't do responsible gun owners a bit of good.
If this had happened in Texas, couldn't he have just shot them?
This is only the beginning.
Long Live Operation Janus
I know that area well, and know about the illegals movement through that area. Years ago they used to come up to Tucson from around Ruby, and old mining town down by the border.
I don't see how this case made it as far as it did and to think they awarded criminals with money.
