fired "warning shots"

right into the illegal's face

kek

finds body

reports it to cops

gets arrested and life ruined

you all realize that if he just buried that illegal, he would have gotten away with it, right?

never tell on yourself. never trust the cops to see your side of the story.

here is what I think happened.

1. A bunch of illegals show up on his land.

2. None of the illegals are armed. He lied about that.

3. He pulls out his gun and fires warning shots, aiming slightly above their heads, probably thinking he can get the bullets whizzing close enough to scare them.

4. He misses and headshots one of them.

5. He doesn't realize he's hit anyone at first, discovers the body a short time. Isn't sure what to do about it. Delays, lies about how late he found the body.

6. Stupidly decides to call the cops and report it rather than cover it up. Stupidly thinks that he was within his rights to shoot the illegals (he would have been decades ago when he was younger, but times have changed).

And yes, I think people who live near the border and are faced with illegals ought to have a special right to open fire to defend their property. The illegals are often escorted by organized crime groups who run the coyote operations, and Americans shouldn't have to put themselves in danger by holding fire until it's too late.
