An Arizona rancher has been charged with first-degree murder and had his bail set at a whopping $1million for fatally shooting a Mexican citizen on his property.
George Alan Kelly, 73, was arrested following the January 30 fatal shooting of Gabriel Cuen-Butimea, 48, on his ranch in Kino Springs, just a mile and a half north of the US-Mexico border.
Authorities are still investigating the fatal shooting, with the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's chief deputy saying it does not appear that Kelly knew Cuen-Butimea ahead of the shooting.
But a friend of Kelly's told KOLD he has had issues with people on his property in the past,
If he was protecting his family and his property and he was acting under Arizona law then he should at least get the same treatment as these murderers everywhere else and get out of jail days later with no cash bail!
The illegals in many cases do present the property owners with life threatening circumstances, how many homeowners have suffered attacks and breakins by these border crossers. Biden shares a heavy dose of blame for all this, but then of course he says the border is secure...NOT. People have to protect themselves and the illegals are taking the chance.

It is evident that the locals have great need to rid themselves of the lowlife dirtbag Democrat America-hating Judge!

All of the above are correct.
The next lesson is: it’s a ranch. Have a vented steel barrel, five gallons of diesel, and use the backhoe to pre-dig some holes.
Oh and some rid-ex and a lot of water. Some hi-acid fertilizer.

I would hope the neighbors will help his Wife with any Livestock they have. Then the Border Patrol should have someone there to make sure the Wife is safe! How sad that this man is put in Jail for defending his Property and the Illegals can walk around in our Country like they own the Place!

Isn't re-entering the United States without permission after being have been previously deported a felony that carries prison time? Had our laws been enforced, the serial trespasser would have been in prison, with each of his violations resulting in sentences increasing his time behind bars every time he reoffended/reentered.
Instead, an elderly American citizen is locked up for trying to protect himself and his wife from a much younger man that our own government repeatedly allowed to run free. We have too many politicians and bureaucrats eager to assume the worst about our own citizens.

Let’s hope this judge doesn’t intend to make an example of Mr. Allen like what has happened to the J6. Also, as far as intent, who knows what is in the heart of a man approaching your home when you live in such a dangerous location? Did the judge think the trespasser just wanted to slip by his home? Seems to me the guy who was shot would have found a safer path around the Allen’s home which was a pretty substantial property from the picture in the article. Looks like he chose to go directly toward the home and was not that far away from it when he was shot. No American citizen should ever have to fear an invasion of their home and property by an illegal alien. Biden has purposely failed to secure the border because of his own selfish political interests. If impeachment was ever warranted it is because of the failures of this this partisan hack. He is a one man wrecking ball.

Another honest citizen being made an example to push an agenda. Shoot a cop, get out of jail within hours. Shoot an actual criminal, stay in jail. #8 is correct. We have enough of them in this country now that they are becoming bolder and we will see more shootings.

That is Santa Cruz county in AZ. One of the blue counties in the state. That explains everything. This rancher should not be in jail, but the libs in that county are going to crucify him.

The headline implies that the rancher shot a corpse. While there may be some misdemeanor charge relating to desecration of the dead, I doubt that it includes jail time.
Yeah, yeah I know I'm parsing words here ... :-)
Castle Doctrine probably does not protect the rancher if he hunted the illegal down and then plugged him. IMHO however this type of action is the only solution to this invasion. Hopefully this rancher is the beginning of the people's response.

Uh-Oh! According to the article his weapon is described as an "assault weapon" and he's written books describing border invasions in an unfavorable light.
This will not go well for him!

The judge needs to be replaced. When a citizen has less rights then an illegal, then something is wrong with the judge, is he a judge who goes along with his party. Does the “governor “ have a say. Seems the judge is targeting an American citizen. Why.

How long will they hold him in jail until his trial. The Jan. 6 people have spent 2 years there and no trial is scheduled. It's possible he cold rot in jail with no trial.

Two questions: WHY was Mr. Kelly charged with FIRST DEGREE MURDER? And, why is't the rat tailed judge NAMED in any of the related articles I can find? This whole case sounds fishy to me!

I cooked a spatchcock Thanksgiving Turkey. The hogs(my family) ate all the meat with abandon and thus it was gone and untraceable in a couple of days.
I used the left over bones and other junk pieces to make broth. I slowly simmered it for 24 hours.(mu understanding is some people add and acid or a base to speed up this process.) The bones were soft and mushy. The cartilage had vanished and was now gelatin. I continued simmering for another day. The bones were just a residue of powder. The meat was gone. Finally a big pot of broth gelatin and but a mere remaining residue of nearly powdered bone meal was all that was left of the whole turkey. I froze it and slowly used up the broth making rice and other dishes over the next month. I could have taken the remaining bone powder and tossed it out of the car a teaspoon at a time onto the interstate. And boiled the broth down to a thick residue and similarly paved the interstate from here to Detroit.

First degree. Hmmmm. So it was PLANNED IN ADVANCE, right ? And just how the ****
can you PROVE that ??
Looking at the picture of the residence and surrounding property um, just how many
eye witnesses or accusers for the 'crime' are there ??
And yes, #11, I think this is ENTIRELY 'to make an example' of this rancher. We can't
have the proles and the plebs in this country starting to think that they can defend
themselves and / or their property - might slow down the FLOOD of ILLEGAL invaders
and colonizers we have going !!
This stinks to high Heaven.

To poster #22---elections have consequences!!!!!!! Unfortunately, they have consequences for the good guys as well as the Hobbs voters. I have yet to understand, for example, with Biden being so obviously what he is and the Democrats and their camouflaged spending bills the same, what happened to the Red Wave. Some think it was abortion, but I personally think it was a lot of knee jerk Democrats who paid no attention to what is happening and just voted as always. And my feelings for them is I hope they suffer the consequences!!!!!! I really and truly do. (I have a lot of friends who fit in this category, by the way: well educated folks who automatically pull that lever for the Democrat, no matter who. They would be shocked to really find out what they actually voted for-=--I can't tell them because they simply don't believe a conservative Republican....and are too damned lazy to find out for themselves.)

He just needs to demand a jury trial of his peers.
That will be the shortest jury deliberation in history, before they find him non-guilty and all the jurors will stop and shake his hand!!!!!

Is no one in the USA safe and protected from ILLEGAL aliens, drug & human smugglers and traffickers of all sorts, by this Administration and its cronies?! The Governmental Agencies sworn by oaths to guard our borders are prevented from even doing their duties of Border protection! Self-defense and self-defense of one's own property is now not recognized but is instead reversed in favor of the ILLEGAL invaders?! What is wrong with this picture when this ILLEGAL ALIEN INVASION is not even acknowledged and stopped at the border by this Biden Administration which prevents the law from being enforced at the border as it has previous been historically?! Americans can no longer even protect themselves & their own property when law enforcement itself is forced by Biden to allow incidents like this? When this dem Administration ignores Legislated Immigration Law, it is to blame for these resulting tragedies.

In a particular area where Law Enforcement is demonstrably lacking...Media publishes the address and even aerial shots of the property, while stipulating there is no one there to guard it but an elderly woman.
The 1st police call was about a "Crowd" of trespassers all running from what sounds like a warning confrontation...THIS guy came back, and got within 150yds of the house.
Dead dude had multiple Catch and return events in his past, had an address and Home in Nogales...was he the coyote that brought groups over? Was he a "Migrant"? Or a Human Trafficker? Aligned with a Cartel?
