re: #136 mmmirele

What if my religion tells me to go out and feed the hungry and right now the hungry are in a line before me? Are they going to really arrest me for fulfilling Matthew 25:31-46? Well, yes, yes they are, but dammit this is annoying.

Some guy who was leaving water stations in the desert for migrants… used that as his defense. Pretty sure it was in Arizona, or maybe it was New Mexico. The State and/or County and/or Border Patrol didn’t like that argument at all, said he was an accomplice to illegal immigration… but the jury found it persuasive. He was acquitted.
