They downgraded the charges to 2nd degree only because of the well deserved criticism the courts are receiving. I never said he is innocent of shooting or killing the man. I don't know that and neither do you. All I have said is you wait for the ballistics report and forensic evidence to come out in THE TRIAL before you pass judgement on this man. That is what "innocent until proven guilty means". But of course knee jerk Liberals jump on the side of illegal trespassers because George Kelly is an old White man.
That’s funny. I seem to remember you giving the cops high fives for killing Tyre Nichols. Or any other minority. Talking about how we have to understand how the cops have a dangerous job.
Of course, you can’t make up your mind on this issue either. I’m not surprised. You see, you moan and complain about how dangerous the Border areas are, and how we have no idea what threats the people on the Border endure. Then of course, you say we need to wait for the information to come out.
What we know so far shows that the killing was not justified. In fact, nothing that good old George did was justified.
You can’t shoot over someone’s head as a warning shot. That is a Felony. It is called Aggravated Assault. Your prancing and dancing hasn’t changed that fact that by George’s own statement of what happened, he committed felonies that day. And who knows how many other days.
Second, his justification. Now, either the Border is a no mans land of lawlessness with armed thugs running amok, or it is not. Because if it is, and these supposed armed intruders on his property that this man said he shot at, are part of the violent Mexican Cartels, or they didn’t exist. Because those Violent Mexican Cartels would have fired at him and torn him up. And don’t claim that he scared them firing a few rounds over their heads.
They regularly engage in firefights with Police Convoys.
So telling me that a few rounds fired over their heads by a lone rancher scared them off, doesn’t make sense.
And these are not isolated incidents.
The State Department says don’t go to half a dozen Mexican States. They are too dangerous, just don’t go there. But hey, it turns out that these hard core Cartel Soldiers are just pussies. If the cops would go out one at a time on horseback and fire a few rounds over their heads, they would turn and run even if they were armed.
I’m saying the story doesn’t make sense. I’m saying the story told by the Rancher, good old George, is not true. It doesn’t make sense.
Because those cartel members, if he fired over their heads, would have killed him deader than hell and beheaded his wife dumping her head right in front of the Police Station. That’s what they’ve done just across the border there.
So the claim that he fired over their heads because he saw them armed with AK-47s is unlikely, to say the least.
Next his claim that these armed men killed one of the Illegals to set him up? Why? They don’t work that way. They slaughter wholesale, they don’t come up with a complicated shitty fiction script about setting the Protagonist up for a crime he didn’t commit.
These guys are so bad they could slaughter you at your dinner table and sit down and finish your meal, blood on it or not. Their power comes from their willingness to use overwhelming and brutal violence.
The Cops in Mexico travel in Convoys like our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq had to. Doesn’t that tell you anything about the folks we are talking about? They run around in armored vehicles like our MRAP’s. And still the Cartels attack the cops.
So good old George’s story doesn’t make sense. And he should have been arrested on the spot after he admitted to several Felonies. Again, firing rounds in the general direction of other people, is frowned upon in every single state of the Union.
But you run around like your asshole is on fire screaming that they’re convicting this man before the trial, and outrageous holding him without bail. How many times have you moaned and pissed about how awful it is that Cities and States are enacting Bail Reform? Letting those dirty dangerous criminals out of jail for nothing? They haven’t been convicted either have they?
No, I don’t know for certain what happened. But I know that what George said happened, almost certainly did not happen. And if he told the truth about popping rounds off over the heads of people, to scare them, then he committed a felony with each pull of the trigger. Another count of that felony. So good old George, by his own statement, is going to prison for the rest of his life at his age.
