Pant, pant, pant.
...and this is EXACTLY why I didn't want to discuss politics with you. Because you don't want to have a discussion about real problems/solutions. As always, you want to make it all about bitter-clinger-teabagging-birthing minutemen vs. your idea of how the world is or should be. Marginalizing to the extreme in order to maintain your concrete way of thinking.
I'm done, you can stop weaving now. You have a wonderful day.

Isn't this entire thread based precisely about vigilante action, and how the poor vigilante in question suffered oh so much for "defending" his country? Isn't the "when does a criminal become a criminal" discussion basically an attempt at justifying that?
I mean, it might not be what you, personally, want to see happen, or what you, personally, think.
But it seems to me that this particular discussion has been, from the start, about vigilante action and their supposed righteousness. The rancher in the OP not only kicked a woman when she was on the floor, but previously had held a family of American-born Hispanics at gun point when he saw them out in the open. This is the guy who's become a sort of hero for many. It might not be true for you, but there are a great number of people who want to "whack" illegal immigrants with their high powered rifles. Ask Brian James.
