    Coloured person is racist.

    Person of colour is empowering.

    Logic.

    I disagree. There's a huge gulf between 'leader' and all that that entails, and a 'member' who could have just joined yesterday. Is this a probationary member or could the member designation be wrong as well and this is just a 'participant' who just showed up?

    Sloppy reporting.

    Reporting sloppy, yes. Leadership of militia, sloppier. I'm a member of a neighborhood patrol. All our members are background checked online for criminal history. It costs $20 a month for the online service. SJW's will be wagging their fingers at our community group on Thursday at an improptu city council meeting, called at the request of our liberal city council members. This incident, has given ammunition to our community groups critics. For years we've fought municiple ordinances that would prohibit us from patrolling our neighborhoods.

    That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. It should be illegal to stop people from crossing the border illegally.

    Where does it say he was arrested for stopping illegal aliens? He was arrested for a felon in possession of a firearm but I can't find any article that states he was arrested for stopping "illegal" aliens.

    Who are they robbing and murdering? Illegal immigrants don't actually exist. They aren't registered. They have no laws to follow. They don't believe in our laws. No one knows who they are. Therefore, they don't exist. They are shadows. If they want the same rights, they should become citizens and renounce their home country. Dual citizenship is a farce.

    Militias have a right to protect their land, state, and country. Mexicans would do the same. Folks would die and be buried in the desert. No one would know. Nothing would ever come of it. It would be a mystery.

    Why the controversy over this? The man was a felon in possession of a firearm, that is illegal, he was arrested for it.

    Just because he happened to be doing something that you like doesn't exonerate him.

    Maintain consistency in your beliefs folks, it's a strong characteristic to have. If this man was just a felon illegally in possession of a firearm and not actively stopping illegals at the border than nobody would care about his arrest.

    This isn't Nam, there are rules. White trash Trumper nationalists can't police
    the border with their fancy military weapons. Not without authorization
    and training.

    He has been previously arrested for impersonating a police officer, and for weapons possession violations (the nature of which I do not know).

    This group changes its name periodically. Evidently just one step ahead of law enforcement.

    It’s clearly a small group of like minded angry white losers who like breathing their chest about the Constitution and pretending to defend it by riding around in the desert waving guns around and occasionally frightening Hispanics.

    These guys come from the same bottom of the bogoty sewer as their compatriots at Charlottesville........Trump’s “fine people”.

    Sort of like his skinhead acting Chief of Staff.

    How can a citizen illegally stop an illegal?

    The intruders are breaking the law not the patriots

    Why don’t you look up the group.

    It changes its name periodically. Usually, when the social media companies track them down and shut them down. Hate groups and scammers generally get that treatment.

    But it’s clearly just a bunch of white trash losers running around the desert waving guns around.

    They might even try and fundraiser off of their new notoriety (getting locked up again, that is).

    But they don’t look like they’re even that smart.

    I’m not sure, but he wasn’t arrested for that. He was arrested for being a felon in possession of a gun.

    He has a prior for impersonating a police officer, too.

    Since the vigilante had no protection of law, the immigrant could certainly have the right to protect himself with a firearm from kidnapping.

    Militias have no right to patrol the border. Anyone they try to stop and "arrest" should gun them down.

    Excuse me, but this is Obama's FBI as evidenced by the Russian collusion hoax that went on ad nauseum for over 2 years. At this point in time, they are not upholding the principles of truth, justice and the American way. They need to be purged of their liberal bias at the top echelon pronto.Then, and only, then, will Americans begin to trust them again. FBI and CIA have black eyes to Americans due to the their weaponization by the Obama administration to go after their perceived political enemies to the point of treason. What are the Democrats doing to stem the tide of illegals invading our country? Absolutely NOTHING because they are STILL laser-focused on removing Trump. Why don't they earn votes by helping the AMERICAN people on immigration, infrastructure, healthcare, etc.? What is their excuse? Certainly none that will assuage the American people...they have wasted our time and divided this nation...they are certifiably insane. And the kicker is instead of realizing they were duped, they have doubled down on their insanity. Really? I have gone from laughing at them, to feeling sorry for them, which has quickly turned into despising them.

    Barr's Report says that the Russians illegally interfered with the American elections.

    The vast resources of the American government continue to investigate that crime, and all the other crimes RW Americans engaged in with Russian help.

    Got that tingle down your leg that somebody wants to collect illegals? Gee the way Democrats admire illegals is a sight to behold.

    Good luck with that...

    "Why did you shoot him?"

    "Well, see, I was jumping the border illegally and me and 40 of my friends were trampling through his ranch knocking his **** over and stealing the food out of the barns around there when someone told me to stop...

    Now, this is America, and I dont want to get deported, so I shot him."

    "Well, okay then."

    The FBI wasn't in NM investigating Russian interfence. Barr's briefing on Mueller's memo to congress wasn't held or broadcast from NM. There were no Russian agents detaining illegal aliens in NM. There's a greater likelyhood the militia captured Russians than that the militia was influenced by them. This post makes no sense.

    It doesnt have to.

    If you repeat something enough times, you believe it.

    In the old days illegals would be shot on sight, their bodies were often seen floating in the Rio Grande. Read the autobiography of Col. Charles Askins.

    It was named New Spain for several hundred years, and was part of Mexico for less than 30 years. Unfortunately for the rest of you, most of these illegals are only passing through NM.
