112. LOL! I knew that @sshole's name was familiar. This is your hero, right here:
Arizona Vigilante Roger Barnett Found Liable
February 19th, 2009

Earlier this week our friends at the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) reported that an Arizona jury found Roger Barnett, a vigilante rancher on the border between Arizona and Mexico, liable for assaulting and intentionally inflicting emotional distress on a group of immigrants he found on public land. Barnett, armed with a gun and a dog, held several women at gunpoint, kicking one of the unarmed women and threatening to shoot or have his dog attack anyone who tried to leave. The women plaintiffs were awarded $73,352 in damages.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time that Barnett has done this. Barnett has a history of racial assault. In 2004, he held the Morales family at gunpoint, this time armed with a semi-automatic military-style assault rifle. Yelling racial slurs, Barnett threatened to kill them. The family and the friend accompanying them on their hunting trip were all U.S. citizens. In September 2008, they were awarded close to $100,000 in damages by the Arizona Supreme Court.

While we are encouraged that Barnett has had to pay a price for his predilection for racial assaults, one has to wonder how much money Barnett is willing to spend before he stops and how many similar attacks have gone unreported.

Read the full text of MALDEF's press release below.
