Re: Illegals sue and win Ranch
You need to understand gun laws.<br /><br />A real property owner can threaten the use of deadly force to evict a trespasser from his own property.<br /><br />You CANNOT hold a person against their will, use terms like "freeze", "hold-it", or "don't move"... such terms when used in conjunction with a weapon are known as kidnapping and unlawful detainment.<br /><br />The trespassers won a court case that they had every right to win, and the defendant lost so he is using an asset to pay damages, which happens to be his ranch.<br /><br />I agree that the filthy trespassers had no right to be there.... but that doesn't give him the right to kidnap them and hold them against their will. For trespassing they were kidnapped at gunpoint.... which is the greater wrong here? Did his use of force match that of the perpetrator, no it did not!, it was Significantly higher.<br /><br />Know the laws, particularly if you carry or own a firearm, then make sure you remain within the law and STILL be prepared to defend yourself at risk of all you have.<br /><br />I'll repeat it so everyone knows.... you can threaten deadly force (show or point a firearm at someone) to evict them from YOUR PROPERTY (not from stealing or anything else, only to evict a trespasser) that you own.<br /><br />Sad story, but justice was served from the viewpoint of trespasser vs kidnapper. As far as their residency status, I hope that is the next case to go to court.
