This man is a hero:
“This is my land. I´m the victim here,” Mr. Barnett said. “When someone´s home and loved ones are in jeopardy and the government seemingly can´t do anything about it, I feel justified in taking matters into my own hands. And I always watch my back.”
The judge represents one more liberal using the Constitution as a spittoon:
In March, U.S. District Judge John Roll rejected a motion by Mr. Barnett to have the charges dropped, ruling there was sufficient evidence to allow the matter to be presented to a jury.
As much as we hate lawyers, at least Barnett’s representation has the right argument. How can illegal immigrants have any rights? How are they protected by law when they are breaking the law?
Mr. Barnett’s attorney, David Hardy, had argued that illegal immigrants did not have the same rights as U.S. citizens.
This is not another example where the government can’t do anything. It is another example where the government refuses to do anything. Which means it is another example where the government chooses not to do one of it’s two historical purposes of existing – to protect its citizens from foreign invasion. Is there any question left, then, as to why the Constitutional authors explicitly included in the Constitution that the citizens should have the right to bear arms?
Barnett and this entire matter also shows the historical [European and further back in antiquity] attachment and importance to ownership of land. I think the majority of the modern citizenry have lost the understanding of government, its functions, and their position in ultimately having the power they give government due to the historical trend wherein farmers have left their land and sought factory employment. We still see small vestiges of traditional society every now and then, such as Barnett’s story but it is mostly a lost art. As I’ve said in the past, if ownership of land were required for voting rights, we would see an about-face political turn towards a more traditional society and conservative government.
Well, We now have yet another case of taxation without representation. Just try to get a hold of NY State’s newest addition to the US socialist revolution….IE: US Senator. Schumer won’t return anything and our newest replacement for Hillary can’t be reached. So much for the former Land of the Free…..
