Is this man considered armed walking around the 101?

Apparently. If he has any sense he’ll go into the brush for a while, but really, common sense and shooting someone in the back are contradictory behaviors. (By the time we commented on this, one of his amigos may have picked him up)

The victim is a senior citizen and went to Leggett scchool for all 12 years. No, he is not an import from the Outside of the Redwood Curtain. His race is of no importance.

Because, while some think mentioning immigration status is equivalent to racism and others think illegal immigration status is evidence of the absence of being law abiding when crimes happen, no one thinks the race of the victim is significant. Unless of course it provides fodder for those wanting to make those who object to illegal immigration and its accompanying crimes shut up about it.
