When Wingnuts Murder

A chilling post yesterday on Orcinus features an account of some cowardly Minuteman vigilantes shooting an illegal border crosser sniper-style at night, and later exulting over his grave. This is simply murder. It's far beyond arguments about "border enforcement" or anger about "illegal aliens." The recorded conversation of the vigilantes is vicious; they acted like they were shooting a prairie dog and not a human being.

If the authorities catch the cowards that did this, they should be marched over the border to let a few dozen Mexicans take shots at them. This is what happens when wingnuts feel empowered to take the law into their own hands, whipped up by the wingnut media machine.
