However with the Minuteman Project going on along the border here in AZ I doubt this guy will get off easy.

Hiya Smokin Joe. I agree............ mostly. There are other facts and variables to come out of this. We'll see where it leads. One place it'll lead is right into the liberal media's lap. This incident at first, through the media here was to tie him into the Minutemen. All the facts are not in yet, but if it went down as he has described, to tell the truth, I doubt I would have done it any differently. I don't care what nationality. I just have a problem with 6 or 7 of anybody jumping me. Unless they're fem.
Damn! Holding one or more folks at gunpoint because they came toward you out of the bushes in a remote desert area and may be a threat to you or your family is considered "excessive force" these days? Things keep changing, not my idea of excessive force. I don't know and there is mention of this guy being on drugs for combat stress. He may have been down there looking for something like this. We'll have to let it play out and see.
