Rancher Gets Partial Justice
Remember that lawsuit against the rancher who was trying to keep trespassers off his property? Well, here’s the latest from La Shawn Barber:
This country has degenerated to the point where illegal aliens have standing to sue law-abiding citizens for exercising their own rights! Blood boiling stuff. Anyway, the criminals claimed that Roger Barnett violated their civil rights. It pleases me that a federal jury disagreed. Earlier this week, the jury found in favor of Barnett and against the illegal aliens, who should be sent back to Mexico immediately. (Source)
Unfortunately (an understatement!), the jury ordered Barnett to pay punitive damages for assault and “infliction of emotional distress.” Can’t win ‘em all. Some is better than none, though all would have been what we reasonable people call justice. I hope Barnett will appeal.
I second that, hoping that he will indeed appeal (and be successful). Infliction of emotional distress, indeed.
