Anarcho-tyranny has been on full display throughout Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly’s legal ordeal. The 73-year-old Arizona rancher was originally arrested and charged with first-degree murder in early February for fatally shooting a Mexican migrant Gabriel Cuen-Butimea (likely an illegal alien) on his ranch in Nogales close to the Mexican border.

Based on the court filings from Kelly’s legal counsel, the rancher was with his wife having lunch on January 30th. Their otherwise peaceful lunch was abruptly interrupted by gunshots Kelly heard off in the distance. Kelly ventured outside where he saw a group of armed men through the trees close to his home. Initially, Kelly called the Border Patrol for assistance. However, Kelly immediately noted that one of the armed men aimed an AK-47 at him, which prompted Kelly to start firing warning shots over their heads.

Kelly allegedly struck and killed one of the individuals, Gabriel Cuen-Butimea, a Mexican national. The rancher insists that he didn’t shoot a member of this armed group. However, two Mexican nationals who accompanied Cuen-Buitimea on that day asserted that Kelly “hunted” them down while wielding an AK-47.

Arizona prosecutors initially believed the Mexican nationals. They first charged Kelly with first degree murder but downgraded it to a second-degree charge after receiving a large amount of public backlash.

Patriots were naturally incensed by this development and started a GoFundMe page to raise money so Kelly could pay off his bond. Initially, the GoFundMe was able to raise thousands for the rancher’s bond. But we shouldn’t forget that we live in the era of mass deplatforming. Unsurprisingly, the GoFundMe campaign was erased by the crowdfunding platform, justifying the move on the grounds that it doesn’t allow fundraising campaigns for the legal defense of individuals accused of committing violent crimes.

Thankfully, there was an alternative for immigration patriots and individuals who believe in the Second Amendment to support Kelly during his legal ordeal. GiveSendGo, a Christian-owned crowdsourcing platform, stepped up to the plate and allowed patriotic Americans to help the embattled rancher out in this time of great need.

Thus far, over $350,000 has been raised for Kelly.

It goes without saying, a society that does not respect the legitimate defense of private property and privileges criminals over the law-abiding will be consigned to the deplorable status of Third World squalor. No country that purports to be “exceptional” should allow for such gross forms of legal dereliction to take place.

What’s the point of the Second Amendment if individuals can’t use lethal force to legitimately defend their property are jailed? Therein lies the problem with just relying on ideas to defend your political freedoms. Rights are pointless if they can’t be exercised. And we can’t expect these laws to be enforced once the bulk of enforcers and those in charge of running the country are of foreign extraction.
