Re: West Texas Rancher Shoots Trespassers

I guess everyone whose name ends in z or a vowel is an illegal alien.

Here's a questionable interpretation of deadly force law from the El Paso Times:

They imply that property owners can use deadly force against trespassers in the nighttime. In any case, this incident occurred in broad daylight.

Re: West Texas Rancher Shoots Trespassers

Well, you could get a little closer to the source than a Houston TV station (even if it is a Fox affiliate—or maybe especially because it's a Fox affiliate).
