Problem Solved? - Maybe

Rural folks know that it is just about impossible to get tresspassers prosecuted. Now the legislature may solve our problems. We may not have to go through all that trouble of prosecuting them, we can just shoot them - if the beefed up "castle doctrine" (I believe it is called) bill passes. end

Of course these one out of every four people were white, but I am betting they did not speak English. end
