| Fed-up church members stand guard, beat robbery suspect | ||
| 2006-03-25 | ||
For two months, they spent their nights as volunteer security guards in their burglary-plagued house of God. The vigilance paid off early Friday when a suspected burglar broke through a window and encountered a half-dozen church members wielding baseball bats and broom handles. When police arrived, at about 1 a.m., they found the man battered and bound with rope on the roof outside a second-story window.

| #4 There's almost never evidence any immigrants are here illegally; law enforcement either can't ask, can't follow through if they do find out, can't cooperate with other agencies who have authority to act, won't follow through even if they do have authority. I actually agree that immigrants such as these, legal or not, likely pose no threat (unless you're a robber), nor do many/most others, but we ignore the immensity of the illegal immigrant phenomenon at our great peril. |

| #3 There is no evidence that these men are here illegally, Glenmore. Just my opinion, but I don't think it's the evangelical Christians from latin America that we need to worry about. |

| #2 "... no charges are being laid against the church members." No charges for beating the robber. And no charges for immigration violations? In this case, I guess it's a fair trade. |

| #1 Wonder if they pointed out the would be robber that in their faith two thieves accompanied their master that day. Or as the Romans would say - nail'em up. It deters repeat offensives. |
