Was he getting a haircut during his mug shot?
The weird thing is that the person who was shot was a Mexican citizen who apparently lived just south of the border, which is kind of unusual since most border crossers are people from much farther away- either Mexicans from the places like rural central Mexico or even South Americans. Supposedly he’d crossed the and been deported before, which at the very least would have made it much more difficult for him to get a visa.
Over a million people legally cross the US-Mexico border every day, it’s not uncommon for many people to have jobs on one side of the border and their homes on the other. Despite what some people might think, there are actually plenty of different visa programs designed to facilitate movement of workers from Mexico to the US. In particular, the H-2A Visa for agricultural workers is notable for not having a cap on the number of visas that can be issued. >

At one of our job sites in El Paso a good bit of our employees we’re living in Mexico. Their money went further there. >

Same here where I live in San Diego, I have several coworkers that live in Tijuana >

FWIW, I used to work near the Canadian border with Washington, and the same thing occurs there. (Probably less now, but the exchange rate at the time made it worth the drive.) >

Abbotsford area? I got eye surgery there and had lots of appointments. The Frasier valley is a beautiful area. It’s funny how the border is just farmland and shrubs, with two parallel roads on either side. >

Where I worked was actually Bellingham, WA, which is a hell of a drive.  Can’t recall where the Canadian employees were from, but that’s likely one of the areas. I went to school in BC, so those cities have conflated in my mind. >

Only car accident I ever had (knock on wood) was from getting distracted by how goddamn pretty the mountains are up there. We own a little campground in the north cascades and can’t wait for camping season. >

Nice!  Which one?  I spent a lot of time in the North Cascades when my wife went to graduate school right by the Diablo Dam. One of the most beautiful corners of the world I’ve ever seen. >

Yeah it’s a little community up near there on route 20 past Marblemount. >

Looks like he got arrested at the barber shop >

i saw what this guy saw >

Off topic, but

Details about the shooting were sketchy

Is this the editorial standard of AP news nowadays? >

“nowadays” was probably seen as unprofessional slang at one point, but news pubs regularly use that….these days! times are changin >

I can see that. What was slang for us, enters common vocabulary and exhibits itself once we get in those editorial positions. Makes sense, but weird to see in this context nonetheless. >

The word has been around since the early 1800s, and for the last 80 years its popularity (in books) has changed little. >

wait which word, sketchy or nowadays >

Sketchy. Nowadays is actually from middle English and has been around for a loooong time. >

Definitely has a “get off of my lawn” vibe >

dude definitely gives off "i have more people 6ft under my lawn" vibe >

For reals, I doubt this was his first…..uuhhmm Rodeo >

No word on why the man was at his ranch? Just that Kelly shot him?
Edit: Don't understand the downvotes, I was literally asking if there was more information. >

Sounds like an angry old guy shot a dude crossing his farm. We own land in citrus county, here in Florida, people cross all the time ans we don't shoot them. Dude sounds unhinged. >

Fox News / Conservative media constantly discussing the "border crisis" and how it's an invasion and criminals are flooding into the country doesn't exactly help matters. >

Then the republican businessmen should hire 'merican citizens and pay them a livable wage.  Quit willingly hiring illegals cheap. >

Then they will won’t a union, and the next thing you know, boom, socialism >

I don't get this one. A lot of union tradesmen are very right wing folks and proud of being union. But, they'll also support anti-union politicians and policies. >

Blue collar union guys are usually Democrat, especially in the past. But unions are dying as blue collar people become more and more aligned with Republicans (who want to bust unions). >

Which is insane, bc the GOP certainly doesn't care about blue collar workers. >

Is he getting his haircut in this mugshot…? >

No, he wouldn’t stop trying to chew on his tail stitches so the vet had to put the cone on him >

I’m sure that’s not the first time he has… “protected his property”. >

…….. so, that makes this justified? What is a human life worth these days? A hard lesson? That’ll show em. >

If you're afraid to live where you live, maybe you should move? >

i don't think the USA is the right country for this person >

They need to live somewhere that doesn't allow idiots to have weapons. >

You know how expensive it is to move across an ocean? >

Is it more than ten dollars? >

When Yellowstone cosplay goes wrong >

Real life doesn’t work like Yellowstone >

I call this the “Yellowstone Effect.” >

I just watched the episode where they make a bunch of bikers dig their own graves & were going to execute them for…..
….mistaking their land for part of Yellowstone national park and having a campfire. Even though both the ranch land & the park had signs saying ‘Yellowstone’. >

Not what happened in that episode at all. >

This looks like that dude from the video on ymh. >

I see they caught up with him at the barbershop. >

Some people think owning a piece of property means you can do anything you want to other people on it >

Name a better combo than “ranchers” and “fanatically wanting to shoot anything that even thinks about being near their pRoPeRtY” >


During his court appearance, Kelly told the judge he is a rancher, though it appears he is also an author of self-published fictional books depicting life as a rancher near the US-Mexico border.  
In one story available online titled “Far Beyond the Border Fence,” fictional characters with names that match he and his wife’s “had to patrol the ranch daily, armed with AK-47s” — similar to how armed citizen militia groups patrol the border in Arizona.

​
It sounds to me like this guy fantasizes about armed conflict. >

The local media loves to interview The White Border Rancher any chance they get and completely ignore the perspectives of the people that live in Nogales, Yuma or Douglas.  
This area has had people travel north and south since time immemorial, well before white ranchers showed up and claimed the land for themselves. >

Killing people because of a border is unacceptable. I am not saying that is what happened as it doesn’t specify, but we all hear about these border patrol vigilantes who think it’s their job to stop immigration at any cost. >

this guy pronounces it “jerbs” >

Watching too much Yellowstone. >

He's begged the judge to lower his bail because his poor "wife is home alone. She can't handle the animals & equipment." Shoulda thought of what happens after you go people hunting. Ramifications ya know! >

I am glad to see that the authorities are doing their jobs.  Whether he is guilty or not is up to the jury, but at least the authorities are following the law.  Sometimes I worry that the law in a border state might just shrug their shoulders and look away, so this helps relieve my fears of that. >

If the jury finds him not guilty, that means that the authorities are not doing their jobs.  In many cases, being prosecuted destroys a person's life even if they are found not guilty. >

keep this worthless shitstain away from the public
oh, cool, downvotes from piece of shit basement dwelling racists. cry to your mommies, losers
