That's the point you are missing. Some of us do. I for one am sick and tired of him announcing that all true Christians hate all Muslims. Even though I'm not a true version of either, it pisses me off.

So ignore it, turn the other cheek, get on with your life and stop being so worked up about it. Chill.

I'm not real good at turning the other cheek. I leave that for the wussies.

Nothing wussy about it - you just need to be man enough to ignore it. If you're not man enough, then rattle your cage and vent your testosterone while you grow into maturity sufficiently to look back on your actions as the childish immaturities that they are.

It's obvious that your current approach is having no effect. He continues to do shit that pisses you off (at least I assume he does - by the time I get back in here, his messages have been removed). There are much better discussions going on in here for you to worry about Ilion.

I don't know if Arizona has a similar law, but we have "the castle doctrine" here in Texas, and I'm tellin' you - there'd be some dead Mexicans on my lawn if they pulled that crap here.

That's a rather interesting thing to claim....what "crap" that they've been accused of exactly would you say justified a death penalty? Vandalism? Trespass? Being "not from around these parts boy?"

If I "fear for the safety or security of my family or property", they're legal "targets".

Not at all. Since Chris lowrered the threshhold for removing messages we have enjoyed two Ilion-free periods - the second of which seems to be continuing.

I hadn't even thought about him in the last couple of days, until you decided to remind everyone of his existence.

OK, that's a nice potted response, but what exactly does that mean to you personally? Would an act of vandalism really cause you to think that the only legitimate response would be to kill someone, which is implied by the "or property" bit above? Does the person doing the vandalism make any difference - I mean, would it be any different if rather than a Mexican, it were a Canadian, or perhaps a fellow American? I'm not looking here for the legal justification you'd potentially use after the fact, I'm curious as to what moral / ethical / behavioural threshold must be crossed for you to consider killing....it seems that you have the attitude that "if you're on my property without my permission, not only are you fair game, then you deserve to die for it because I'm scared you may do 'something'" (Not looking for an argument either - I'm genuinely interested in why you'd hold such an attitude)

Yes. 0) The person who vandalized my property probably doesn't have the financial capability to repair the vandalism. That means an out-of-pocket expense for me. 1) Suing the person would the next best thing to pointless. He's an illegal immigrant, and therefore has no address at which he can be served (much less being found by anything resembling a government representative). Since he probably won't show up in court, I'll probably win the summary judgment, but that would be akin to a judge telling me that a turnip at the grocery story owes me a dollar. last I checked, there were millions of turnips at the grocery store, and I've never seen one that carried pocket change. In essence, I end up paying court costs (more out-of-pocket expense) and I still have to collect the award myself. No matter what happens, I end up paying money because some asshole from another country broke the law to get here, and then vandalized my property. With today's harsh financial climate, I'm not willing to spend any more money than it takes to buy a bullet (and I already have plenty of those). I have no sympathy at all for people that break the same laws that I'm expected to obey.

I'd give a single warning to leave - in English. After a silent five count (and/or they move toward me), they took to long to interpret and take action, so I take action myself.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt on that one, and whilst I agree that there should be no sympathy for lawbreakers, would you agree that you have a fairly "extreme" view, or is it one that you belive many to hold? You didn't clarify on my other point - what if they were Americans?
