This was probably considered to be pretty bad optics.

It was obvious the man was simply defending his home. You can get some white women on the jury who will just convict any white man because they hate their fathers. But it looks ridiculous.

Prosecutors said Monday they will not retry an Arizona rancher whose trial in the fatal shooting of a Mexican man on his property ended last week with a deadlocked jury.

The jurors in the trial of George Alan Kelly were unable to reach a unanimous decision on a verdict after more than two days of deliberation. Santa Cruz County Superior Court Judge Thomas Fink declared a mistrial on April 22.

After the mistrial, the Santa Cruz County Attorney’s Office had the option to retry Kelly — or to drop the case.

“Because of the unique circumstances and challenges surrounding this case, the Santa Cruz County Attorney’s Office has decided not to seek a retrial,” Deputy County Attorney Kimberly Hunley told Fink Monday.

Fink agreed to dismiss the case. He said a hearing would be scheduled later to determine if it would be dismissed with prejudice, which would mean it couldn’t be brought back to court.

Kelly’s defense attorney Brenna Larkin told the judge that she would file a request for the case to be dismissed with prejudice.

Larkin did not immediately return a request for comment sent by email after the ruling.

When a reporter from the Tucson TV station KGUN asked for Kelly’s reaction outside the courthouse, he said he felt “relief.”

“The nightmare’s over,” Kelly added, saying that the victim’s family “has my sincere sympathy.”

Unfortunately, sir, the nightmare has just begun.

Don’t worry, you won’t run out of invaders anytime soon

Not a single non-diverse city on this map

Contrary to what you might think, most brown people prefer to stay in their homes with their people. Most of the Mexicans who initially came were legitimate “migrant workers.” However, over time they formed insular communities, where neighborhoods were all Mexican and only spoke Spanish, so they felt more comfortable moving.

Still, it is generally the trash of any country that wants to leave their own country. Tucker Carlson goes up there and says “who wouldn’t want to leave their country to live in America?”, but would you want to leave your home, your friends and family, the places where you grew up, to get free money? No one (or virtually no one) in Latin America is starving.

So it’s only the trash that wants to come.

Gallup Chairman and CEO Jim Clifton writes for Gallup:

Here are questions every leader should be able to answer regardless of their politics: How many more people are coming to the southern border? And what is the plan?

There are 33 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Roughly 450 million adults live in the region. Gallup asked them if they would like to move to another country permanently if they could.

A whopping 27% said “yes.”

This means roughly 120 million would like to migrate somewhere.

Gallup then asked them where they would like to move.

Of those who want to leave their country permanently, 35% — or 42 million — said they want to go to the United States.

…

In addition to finding a solution for the thousands of migrants currently at the border, let’s include the bigger, harder question — what about all of those who would like to come? What is the message to them?

What is the 10-year plan?

330 million U.S. citizens are wondering. So are 42 million Latin Americans.

The concept of them just not being allowed in isn’t even theoretically taken into account.

Instead, it’s all this stuff about what kinds of people, and the legal process, and so on, and with the Republicans agreeing to let millions in through “legal” immigration, and never making an argument about the defense of our culture, the logical end was always “just open the border and let them all come.”

With Trump failing to get the Wall up, it was only a matter of time before concerned citizens decided to take matters into their own hands and step up to help the President and these United States.

In the southeasternmost pocket of the US state of New Mexico, with El Paso, Texas, to the east and Mexico a stone’s throw south, there is a small camp: a few tents and a weathered trailer.

It is home to the half dozen or so members of the United Constitutional Patriots (UCP) — a small but well-armed militia dipping their toes into the US border vigilante movement.

In recent months, thousands of migrants have arrived in Mexico, primarily Central Americans fleeing poverty and violence at home.

On the face of it, Boomerwaffen doesn’t seem to be a coherent plan.

The Border Patrol itself is still catching illegals at the border, the problem though is that they’re asking for asylum and they’ve got these kids with them who can’t be separated from their supposed families and are basically an anchor against deportation.

Furthermore, they don’t have enough room to store the people that they’re catching, so they’re bussing them into the interior of the country and releasing them into the general population with strict orders to show up for a court date in the future that everyone knows they almost certainly won’t show up to.

So even if this volunteer group catches these illegals, they almost certainly plan on handing them over to ICE, who will promptly release them into the US anyway and might arrest the volunteers too for good measure, because the government does that to patriots.

US President Donald Trump has described them as a threat to national security, demanding billions of dollars from Congress to build a wall on the southern border.

The resignation of Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Sunday, reportedly over the president’s push to restart family separations at the border, has underscored his failure to get to grips with the issue.

And until the wall is built, the UCP insist they will be there.

“We’re here to assist the border patrol because they are so short handed,” the group’s leader, 70-year-old “Striker,” told AFP. 

Boomer Striker doesn’t seem to understand that the porous border is a feature of late-period Weimerica, not a bug.

If Trump wanted to, he could have asked for a human chain to be formed along the southern border and Americans would take turns standing in the sun all day for 4 whole years to stop the illegal immigrants.

Or he could have built a mecha.

A MAGA Mecha

But such extraordinary measures are not necessary. All it would take would be to simply close the border, build the Wall and go about deporting the illegals already here and then completely cutting off legal immigration as well. But there is no will to do this.

ICE is on the chopping block in two years anyway and borders are just a formality now. 

I just wish Trump would at least set up a guerrilla Boomerwaffen force before he is forced out of office.

No, he didn’t actually say exactly that.

But I think I got the gist of his blabbering.

MSN:

President Donald Trump took a step back on Tuesday from his threat to close the U.S. southern border to fight illegal immigration, as pressure mounted from companies worried that a shutdown would cause chaos to supply chains.

Trump threatened on Friday to close the border this week unless Mexico acted. He repeated that threat on Tuesday but said he had not made a decision yet: “We’re going to see what happens over the next few days.”

Closing the border could disrupt millions of legal crossings and billions of dollars in trade. Auto companies have been warning the White House privately that it would lead to the idling of U.S. plants within days because they rely on prompt deliveries of components made in Mexico. 

Yes, I remember when Trump was running for President in 2016 with the slogan: “It’s the GDP, stupid!”

With big businesses coming out and demanding that Trump keep the border open, there’s very little chance that he’ll actually bring the ban-hammer down.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the largest U.S. business lobbying group, has been in contact with the White House to discuss the “very negative economic consequences that would occur across the country,” said Neil Bradley, the group’s top lobbyist, on a call with reporters.

Trump praised efforts by Mexico to hinder illegal immigration from Central America at its own southern border. On Monday, the Mexican government said it would help regulate the flow of migrants.

“I really wanted to close it,” Trump said on Tuesday night at a fundraiser for congressional Republicans.

“I really didn’t want to sign the spending bill. I really didn’t want to sign the second spending bill. I’m really unhappy about the third spending bill. I really wanted to close the border. I…”

Tiresome.

For a while, I was under the impression that he was doing his best and fighting the good fight.

But he’s broken now. The fight is all gone out of him.

Trump seems to be putting on a show. A fake fight. He’s got experience in this.

There’s going to be a lot more kayfabe before we hit 2020.

But it will all be hollow.
