From: lc Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2011 Subject: Arizona Shooting (I did not know this...interesting. -- lc)
The reaction to the shooting rippled across the country as Americans were aghast at the sight of such a violent attack on a sitting member of Congress. The shooting cast a pall over the Capitol as politicians of all stripes denounced the shooting as a horrific and senseless act of violence. What the Main Stream Media is trying not to talk about is the fact that U.S. District Judge John Roll was killed in the shooting. Judge Roll became notorious in Arizona after he ruled in favor of a group of non-citizen, illegal border-crossing Mexicans who were caught by Arizona Rancher Roger Barnett, in 2004, as they tried to sneak into this country and were caught on the Rancher's land.
Many in Arizona hail Rancher Roger Barnett as a "Patriot", an "American Hero" but the amnesty crowd quickly labeled him a racist for holding these criminals at gunpoint. Soon, the liberal amnesty crowd took up the cause of the illegals, saying that their "rights" were violated by the man defending his land and his country by pointing a gun at the border jumpers.
The lawsuit is based on a March 7, 2004, incident in a dry wash on the 22,000-acre ranch Barret owns, when he approached a group of illegal immigrants while carrying a gun and accompanied by a large dog.
Attorneys for the illegals - five women and 11 men who were trying to cross illegally into the United States - have accused Mr. Barnett of holding the group captive at gunpoint , threatening to turn his dog loose on them and saying he would shoot anyone who tried to escape. That was a no-no, even though it is legal. In Arizona, he could have blasted them ALL and it would have been his legal right to do so.
But this is the new America, where Americans are "the enemy."
The illegals [leftists call them "immigrants"] are being represented by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), which also charged that Sheriff Dever did nothing to prevent Mr. Barnett from holding their clients at gunpoint, yelling obscenities at them and kicking one of the illegal alien women.?
In the lawsuit, MALDEF said Mr. Barnett approached the group as the illegal immigrants moved through his property, and that he was carrying a pistol and threatening them in English and Spanish. At one point, it said, Mr. Barnett?s dog barked at several of the women and he yelled at them in Spanish, "My dog is hungry and he's hungry for ass."

The lawsuit said he then called his wife and told her to call the Border Patrol. Two Border Patrol agents arrived at the site and retrieved the illegals. The illegals with the help of the MALDEF, promptly filed law suits against the Rancher. In March 2004, 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. The Judge, by this ruling, implied that illegal immigrants have certain legal protections even after illegally crossing the border AND doing so while illegally trespassing on a private American citizen's property. Mr. Barnett?s attorney, David Hardy, had argued that illegal immigrants did not have the same rights as U.S. citizens.
This is noteworthy because Arizona law allows the use of physical and even deadly force to prevent the commission of certain serious crimes, and also allows for a person to use physical force against another when and to the extent that a "reasonable person" would believe it necessary to prevent criminal trespass on their premises, or to prevent theft or criminal damage to certain property.
Nevertheless, Judge Roll overruled Arizona state law protections and allowed MALDEF to proceed to attempt to sue Mr. Barnett for a whopping $32,000,000. After this ruling, the judge received over 200 death threats on his life and those of his family members.
Judge Roll was one of those killed.. .
Why is the media not explaining who this man was and how his being there is significant, seeing as he, NOT Representative Gifford, was the one who had actually had all the death threats?
Go figure. I guess they just don't want to talk about it ...like so many other things the public should know.
