Keep the trailer; give me my liberty

Michelle Malkin says an 82-year-old homeowner in Colorado is accused of attempted murder, in the first degree, for shooting at two thieves.

The homeowner says he fired two shots at two thieves who tried to run him down while they tried to steal his trailer.

The poor homeowner now faces twelve, yes TWELVE, felony counts and could be in prison for the remainder of his life -- all for attempting to defend his property and life.

The thieves, Torres and Cardano, believed to be illegal aliens, have previous police records. One admitted the theft, but they are not being charged - not for anything!

Apparently being a legal citizen and a victim of crimes by an alien automatically make you guilty, while being an illegal alien is an excuse for any misbehavior.

Still, isn't it great that the homeowner apparently got to keep the trailer?
