dapokerbum 0 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 "This is my land. I´m the victim here," Mr. Barnett said. "When someone´s home and loved ones are in jeopardy and the government seemingly can´t do anything about it, I feel justified in taking matters into my own hands. And I always watch my back." I agree with this, however, if he was acting in an uncivil manner towards these people then he should be punished ... but the 32 million is a little much IMO. Link to post Share on other sites
hblask 1 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Oh, so much to say about this, I don't know where to start, so I'll give the short answer: if this lawsuit succeeds, it will be another severe blow to this country.And that's coming from one of the most pro-immigrant people on these boards.

AmScray 355 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 however, if he was acting in an uncivil manner towards these people then he should be punished ...Indeed. For violating the "Civility Statutes" I cannot even imagine what it's like to be this man.Imagine you own a substantial tract of land (22,000 acres is ZOMG huge. It's like 35 square miles).Your land is constantly shat upon and ruined by tresspassing 3rd world migrants who destroy the things you work hard for (stock, outbuildings, massive amounts of refuse dumping). My level of frustration would be 10/10 and I'm fairly confident it would wind up in some sort of manslaughter situation. IMO, if he can afford to keep 22K acres, he can afford to install ground sensors and hire a few four man squads to respond on either horseback or ATV- armed with the appropriate kit.

LongLiveYorke 38 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 IMO, if he can afford to keep 22K acres, he can afford to hire a few three man teams to patrol his land 27/7 on either horseback or ATV- armed with the appropriate kit.True, but I think it's cheaper just to hire Kathy Griffin and have her do her act while facing south.

Sorry, but that doesn't cut it for me. I am all for "installing ground sensors and hire a few four man squads to respond on either horseback or ATV- armed with the appropriate kit." and making sure that the word is out that if you cross on this land then you will most likely be apprehended. What I don't want to hear is that once you have rounded them up that you are kicking dirt at them or calling them dispicable names while you are waiting for someone to come in and deport them. That is downright disrespectful ... even if he is fed up with it all. Link to post Share on other sites
Dr_Jeff 0 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 My question is what civil rights did he violate? They (immigrants) aren't American citizens, and as such are not afforded the same civil rights as Americans, are they? I think they should just consider themselves lucky they didn't disappear somewhere in the 22K acres, and call it a day. Better luck the next time they try to cross. Link to post Share on other sites

That is still a crime in this country, even if they aren't citizens. I was just saying that they were lucky that he didn't do it. Link to post Share on other sites
