2 Santa Cruz county is the stompin grounds of Democrat and Marxist contressman Raul Grijalva. It is the home of corrupt police. To get a fair trial in Nogales the shooter better change his name. Note the name of the judge was not used. Five will get you ten that he or she is Mexican, or on the payroll of the local Raza.

4 Now why would he shoot a dead Mexican?

Because anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Prolly should have filed an Environment Impact statement for the extra lead, tho.

6 You can't win. If you detain them, you will get hit with "false imprisonment."

Shoot straight. Bury deep. Or keep plenty of feral hogs on your land.

7 The million dollar bond was a huge signature of the intent by the local criminal justice political allies of the Demokrat invasion strategy to intimidate other locals from such actions. This guy and his family will be destroyed financially by delay, obfuscation by the DA and lawfare, despite almost certainly being within his rights by an honest interpretation of the existing statutes in Arizona. When it finally gets to trial, almost certainly a hung jury will be the best to be expected, given the demographics of the area, and the liability and pending retrial will likely bankrupt and displace Kelly over time.
The message is, do NOT interfere with the invasion or else!

8 Maybe the defense can get the 'hate crime' rider added to make it a federal case.
