A 73-year-old rancher in Arizona faces murder charges because he shot and killed a trespasser on his land.
On the face of it, it would seem he had the right to defend and protect his property and the trespasser risked what might happen to him. But in today’s crazed “justice” system, that is not what is happening.
George Allen Kelly is behind bars, charged with first-degree murder in connection with the shooting and killing of 48-year-old Gabriel Cuen-Butimea. He had a Mexican voter registration card on his body. Authorities say that Cuen-Butimea was found about 150 yards from Kelly’s home on Jan. 30. His body had one gunshot wound.
Kelly, a longtime resident in the area, lives on the ranch with his elderly, infirm wife. His property is along the Mexico border, and he has dealt with illegals crossing his land many times over the years.
This is a problem that hundreds of U.S. residents along the border face every year. The news reports about the illegals crossing the border most often ignore the problems these incidents present for Americans who live there and whose property is often damaged and destroyed.
How do they protect themselves? That is the question. The problem Mr. Kelly faced that fateful day was solved for him with one shot. It stopped the intruder on his private land but landed him in jail facing major charges.
This is wrong! He should not have been charged with anything! He has a right to protect his property from illegals. There should be more of that.
Hopefully, someone will come to their senses and understand that the rancher was defending his property and the country.
If this goes to trial – the jury should nullify it fairly quickly!
