This is so wrong on so many levels:
Wife of founder of Ozarks Minutemen pleads guilty to fake rape claim
[Angela] Wilburn is the wife of Brian Wilburn, who helped form the Ozarks Minutemen. [...]
Angela Wilburn told investigators that three Hispanic men broke into her mobile home and that one of the men sexually assaulted her in the hallway, then shot her in the knee with a handgun.
She soon retracted her story and said she heard a noise, and grabbed her husband’s gun. She told police the gun went off as she reached for a flashlight.
By the time Angela Wilburn made the admission, Greene County deputies had already spent more than 100 man-hours investigating the fictitious attack.
The sheriff’s department said in December it would seek restitution from Angela Wilburn for the wasted time. [...]
There is the obvious problem that a woman with this many … ahem … “issues” related to paranoid fantasies probably shouldn’t be allowed near a gun in the first place, at least not one that doesn’t have a trigger lock on it.
But there are more subtle indications that this woman has lost her bearings. Indeed, maybe I missed that day in 2nd grade geography but I’ve always had the impression that the Ozarks — including Greene County, Missouri — did not meet any international borders and are instead in the middle of the country.
Speaking of borders, most estimates indicate that at least half of illegal immigrants are not from Latin America. Inexplicably, the rabidly anti-immigrant forces always seem to forget that a whole bunch of illegal immigrants fly over any walls we put up using these things called commercial jets and that they arrive here on a legal visa and simply stay past their time.
These same forgetful people also seem to forget that there’s no wall on our northern, more Caucasian Canadian border… Not that race would ever have anything to do with their rhetoric and their false police reports. Nope. Never.
